Chapter 139: Meeting
Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street, Harvest Church.
Abner mentioned to Karen and Judy about the Extraordinary's appointment to meet him, and he did not reveal the specific sequence of Marić, only that it could be Sequence 6.
"So, do you want me or Judy to accompany you? Good to have a response? "Karen is a few hundred years old, naturally well-informed, and can see through Abner's mind at once.
Judy ran her fingers around her long brown hair, her face a little curious, she hadn't been to Beckland's bar yet, so she naturally had the idea of seeing it.
"Maybe there's an unexpected piece of information...... "Anyway, you're fine, you'll have to wait until midnight to act."
Abner was also not embarrassed to be exposed, he didn't think he could hide it from Karen in the first place.
"Are there any unique drinks in the bars of Bakerland? If so, I'll go with you! Judy laughed, and although it was just an excuse, it was indeed what she really thought.
She and Abner are already familiar with each other, and they don't think there is any trouble with this level of help, and because of Roman's matter, she is still a little weak, so she is naturally willing to help Abner's request.
Abner thanked her and introduced Rune specialties such as South Wil, Desert Beer, Enmat Beer, etc.
Judging by the eagerness she heard, this future "druid" should be an old drunkard.
While Judy was contemplating the taste of the different drinks, Viscount Karen pinched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Based on my observation of you, if the other party is only a sequence 6, it may not make you so cautious......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Abner with a smile and continued, "So this matter has to be considered according to the situation where the other party has multiple medium sequences, or has a strong sequence 5...... Of course, it's not very dangerous because it doesn't necessarily lead to conflict......"
Sure enough, people are old and fine...... Abner secretly scolded himself, knowing that the other party was deliberately exaggerating the difficulty before making an offer, so he exhaled and said bluntly: "Viscount Karen, I really want to ask you for help...... Just tell me straight, how do you agree to help? ”
It's better to be a friendly price, otherwise I won't need you to follow...... With Judy here, there should be a lot of security protection.
"Don't worry, we're friends...... It's just, after returning safely from the bar, in exchange, I want you to do me a small favor. The black-haired, red-eyed, masculine Mr. Viscount smiled slightly and said what he requested.
"What do you need my help with?" Abner asked, somewhat wary.
"It's not a complicated problem, it's not difficult, it's not dangerous...... It's just that it's inconvenient to say now, so I'll tell you after I've accompanied you to that brave bar. Viscount Karen glanced at the brown-haired girl next to him with her ears pricked up, and diverted the topic, "Wait until evening, you and Judy are in the morning, and go directly to the appointment." And I'm in the shadows, so that even if something really happens, I can still have a back hand. ”
Abner saw that he really didn't want to talk about the topic of "help" now, so he gave up, anyway, if it was really dangerous, he wouldn't take it, and he would compensate Viscount Karen from other aspects.
After the three of them discussed, Abner took the cello case on his back, and got into a public carriage with Judy, who had changed into men's clothes, and came to Tiemen Street in the bridge district.
Walking into the "Bar of the Brave", Abner expertly bought a glass of Southwell beer and handed it to Judy, who was eager to try it next to him, and then under the guidance of the bartender, he went to the second card room and found Caspers.
The other party is playing "Fighting Evil" while betting on a boxer outside, and he is having a very comfortable time.
Seeing Abner appear at the door, Caspars covered the cards, cursed the other people who were yelling in dissatisfaction, and got up and walked to the door.
He carefully looked at Abner, whose temperament had changed again, and then looked at Judy next to him, and said with a smile: "It's another one...... A handsome young man is capable. ”
Abner was a little speechless when he heard this, and he didn't speak ill of the old "rascal" who had helped him, so he had to change the topic and say, "I heard that you have something to do with me?" ”
"It's a great guy looking for you, as if he wants to ask you for a commission...... Remember what I told you about me finding a new backer? Caspars led Abner to a hidden door outside the kitchen and whispered.
Judy, on the other hand, consciously took a few steps behind, and while drinking the South Wil beer in her hand, she looked around curiously like a little girl who had come to such an occasion for the first time, and vaguely found something.
"I heard you say that the man's name seems to be Marić?" Abner said, pretending to reminisce.
"Yes, it's Marić! He's the scariest one I know, and he's not even afraid of bullets! You must know that there are many extraordinary people who have worked with me, but only he can do this. Caspars seemed to be emotional, but in this way he revealed some of Marich's details to Abner, although Marić's origin was already clear to Abner.
"I see." Abner nodded, acknowledging the other party's favor.
"I'm just sending a message...... Now you know what a dangerous man he is, and although he has no evil deeds, if you don't want to see him, I can help you convey it. Caspars frowned slightly, and said in a slightly suggestive tone.
Abner deliberately adjusted his position, and then took this opportunity to sneak a look at Judy, and when he saw her nodding slightly, he smiled and said to Caspass: "It's okay, since I'm here, it's better to meet this Mr. Marić...... And I haven't thanked Jane for his aftermath. ”
Caspars looked at him deeply, then clenched his right fist and struck his left chest and said:
"May the storm be with you."
Then I'm done...... Who doesn't know that the Church of the Storm cleans up the battlefield after the fact......
Abner sneered, then asked, "I want to talk to Judy...... That is, the girl who drank beer in the back went to see Marich together, okay? ”
Caspars glanced at Judy in surprise, and when he saw that the other party raised his glass and smiled sweetly, he withdrew his gaze and said, "I have to ask, you guys wait here." ”
He didn't ask Abner why he took Judy with him, and the talkative didn't live long in this business. Even though Abner was the son of his friend, he was already an extraordinary person who had grown up, and he was not the same as before.
Seeing Caspars walk out of the hidden door behind the kitchen, Abner turned around and asked Judy, who had taken a big sip of beer, "How is it?" ”
"This beer tastes good, crisp and refreshing, but the malt used to make wine is not a precious variety." Judy said solemnly.
Abner put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly, "I'm asking if there is anything wrong with this place......"
Judy put down her glass, then pointed her finger at a few people who were staying in different parts of the bar, and said, "The other party has arranged for a puppet to watch this bar...... And those puppets shouldn't be alive. ”
Living corpses, I know that.
As soon as Abner thought of this, he heard Judy continue: "And I seem to have just felt prying eyes from the spirit world, I don't know if it was a delusion, or if there was really something ......"
Could it be that Miss Sharon is here too? Abner's heart moved, and he took the initiative to reduce the conversation.
About ten minutes later, Caspars returned to the back kitchen,
"Come with you, he agreed." Caspars said in a deep voice.
The two of the temperance faction should know Judy's strength...... Abner smiled.
Next, he and Judy followed behind the struggling Castpers, through the hidden door of the back kitchen, into a dark alley behind the bar.
The alley is lined with high walls on both sides, and behind the walls are single-family estates.
After walking down the alley for about three or four minutes, Caspars suddenly paused, knocked on a door disguised as a wall on the side of the road, and only after receiving permission did he lead the two Abner in.
It's a small house, sandwiched in the middle of a townhouse, and you can't spot it unless you look closely.
Seeing the three people coming in, the man in the white shirt and black vest slowly stood up, it was Marić.
In front of him sat a woman in a black Gothic court dress and a small floppy hat of the same color, her face was pale, and her pale blonde hair and delicate countenance reflected each other's strengths.
"Detective Bryan, I have something to entrust to you."
