Chapter 160: Farewell

At noon on Friday, Abner rushed to the steam train station before he had time to eat lunch to bid farewell to the "desolates".

Speaking of which, he returned to the Issinger Detective Agency last night, and after telling the teacher the complete recipe of "Erudito", he asked him about the "Thousand Magic Phantoms".

Unfortunately, although Detective Issinger was somewhat sure of getting the "Crystallization of a Thousand Phantoms", he had to wait until he returned to Lemburg at the end of the year to report to work......

Abner later performed a ritual and prayed to the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", but was not answered.

It seems that the God of Knowledge will not give me direct assistance......

Because he had been prepared in his heart, after all, the old dragon had to find a "tool man" even with a message, so Abner was not much disappointed.

……

On the platform of the steam train, an old man in a black suit with a half-height black top hat stepped out of the second-class carriage with a top hat in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

He didn't look too old, only a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his sideburns were completely white.

His name is Lawrence Nord, and he is a public school teacher from Conston City, Makai County.

As soon as Lawrence got off the train, he casually glanced at the platform and saw a tall figure of more than two meters standing not far away, and several young people surrounded him.

And one of them, a young man with black hair and red eyes, he recognized, and was extremely impressed.

"Viscount Karen ......" Lawrence whispered to himself, if it weren't for the Viscount of the Blood Clan passing by and helping in that disaster many years ago, few members of their family would have survived.

And Lawrence was also unwilling to be surrounded by negativity, depression, despair and other emotions in the current family, and unwilling to face sighs and oppressive atmosphere every day, so he found a reason to leave the presbyterian church and come to Beckland to find another half-brother Laubro and half-brother Sam.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived in Beckland and met a benefactor of the family.

He had the heart to go over and talk, only to see Viscount Cullen and another pretty-looking girl following the half-giant and boarding the steam train on the other side of the platform.

Only a curly brown hair remained on the platform, and a young man with copper-rimmed glasses waved goodbye to them.

"Forget it...... Perhaps the viscount had forgotten that little thing in the first place...... At least for him it was a trifle. Lawrence laughed at himself, withdrew his gaze, and left the station with his salute.

……

On the steam train, Captain Arsenov remained silent, as if he had no emotion for parting.

Judy had a cheerful temperament, only a little reluctant to say goodbye to Abner just now, but now she had already recovered, and a smile was on her face again.

And Viscount Karen, in his long life, there are countless such parting scenes, and he has long been used to it.

"Just on the platform, it looks like someone is watching you?" At this time, Judy suddenly said to Karen, who was sitting opposite.

Obviously, Lawrence's self-conceived hidden gaze could not hide from the "biologist", after all, many plants are her eyes and ears.

Karen nodded, and said indifferently, "I saved him by hand...... Speaking of which, the 'picture book' that your father gave you has something to do with his family. ”

Judy nodded thoughtfully, and after a long moment then added, "He's dying...... There are up to three months left to live. ”

"I know, that's why I didn't go...... Hey, it's better not to see. Karen sighed.

……

City of Tingen.

After lunch, Klein put on his hat and left Black Thorn Security for the "Shooting Club" at 3 Zotland Street.

Pushing open the door and entering the reception hall, he did not go directly to the shooting range that belonged to the night watchman, but found a place in the hall and sat down, holding his black cane in his hands and waiting patiently.

The meeting place he agreed with Daxter was at this "Zotland Street Shooting Club"!

And Daxter is the informant he developed, one of the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and is just a standard rookie, after all, his guide has gone crazy.

After waiting for a while, and when it was still two minutes away, Klein saw the rather Sven Dast enter the lobby of the "shooting club".

He wears a black silk top hat, a well-fitting tuxedo, a silver-encrusted cane in his hand, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.

Daxter looked around unobtrusively and saw Klein, who nodded slightly, so he withdrew his gaze and walked to the front desk, slightly rustily applying for a shooting range and renting a gun.

After the two entered the same shooting range one after the other, Dast asked in a deep voice, "Officer Moretti, what are you asking me for this time?" ”

"I just wanted to ask you, do you need a 'mind reader' recipe?" Klein said calmly. He didn't hide his thoughts, after all, he was a "spectator" on the other side, and it was not so easy to bluff.

Ever since he got the recipe from "Tower" at the Tarot meeting, Crane had a plan to sell it to Daxter. After all, after this period of observation, this gentleman's character is not bad, and he is backed by the "Psychological Alchemy Society", even if he is just a peripheral member, he will be able to get this formula sooner or later. If you don't sell it now, you may not have a chance in the future.

In addition, with this meeting with Duxter, he no longer needs to hide this potion recipe, and can find a good excuse to hand it over to the captain, so as to accumulate more merits for him. Well, you might even get an additional reimbursement for your expenses.

It's a good deal to trade two times with a recipe that comes for nothing...... Klein thought better.

Daxter stared into his eyes and was silent for a moment before asking, "What do you want from me?" ”

Naturally, it's a gold pound! Klein almost blurted out, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not subtle enough, and he also had to consider the other party's financial resources, so he hesitated for a while before he considered it: "I need you to closely observe the situation of Hood Eugen and report to me at any time...... Of course, the recipe will not be given to you in vain, you will need to pay 100 gold pounds in exchange...... It's already cheap. ”

"Officer, your words are not sincere enough, but the price is partly true." Daxter said calmly and suddenly.

……

Looking at the steam train in the distance, Judy's promise to "wait for you to come to Fenerport and invite you to eat Sevia's puff pastry" and Viscount Karen's advice to "send him a new gift as soon as possible", Abner sighed in some frustration.

Although he has only been with Judy and Karen for two weeks, he has already formed a friendship with the two, and the separation at this moment will inevitably make Abner, who is not used to it, a little uncomfortable.

Shaking his head at these thoughts, Abner decided to go to the garden house that had been entrusted to him first, and if there were no problems, he would move in as soon as possible.

Since this morning, the mainstream newspapers have been overwhelmingly promoting him as the "savior of the Sivelas field", the teacher's home has once again been surrounded by tabloid reporters, and even the normal commission business has been affected.

Even if he wants to have a quiet life, he has to move as soon as possible.

……

Joe Wood District, 28 Kings Street.

It is a three-storey building with a small garden, the layout is not very large, but the interior is delicately decorated, and at a glance you can see that his former owner was very tasteful.

Abner approached and took off the Clown Mask before opening the door with the key.

Then he saw a man and a woman come out of the living room.
