Chapter 465: Entrustment from Hazel and Selection of a Temporary Stronghold
Because of its proximity to the mountains, most of the houses in Gulain were built along winding roads, with occasional squares or bazaars in gentle, open areas.
As he traveled, Abner found that as described in the original book, there were not too many carriages on the street, and only one or two could only be seen occasionally.
The most popular mode of transport here is the "coffin", which is characteristic of East Bailang, which is derived from the custom of the worship of the god of death and the belief that the coffin is regarded as an object that brings peace and calm.
Therefore, in Gulain, the "black slide light and breathable" coffin carried by two people, four people, eight people, and pulled by horses or unicorns is the mainstream means of transportation......
Walking and stopping, Abner soon found a house that met his requirements, and after observing it in a stealthy state for a while, he had a plan in his heart:
"The area is not small, but the family is not large, there are few servants, and a lot of space is wasted, especially the cellar in the basement...... A slight move of the scattered barrels will make up enough space for the 'Teleportation Altar', and it's still very hidden......
"But while it's a good place, maybe there's something better...... And it's still early, why don't you go somewhere else and shop around......"
Just as he stopped to think, the coffin carried by four people on the side of the road was lowered.
As the lid opened, the passenger lying inside the coffin stood up and strode out, a Northland-style gentleman in a white shirt and black vest.
The gentleman's formal attire was always in the crook of his arm until he left the coffin.
Abner then watched as the gentleman with slightly curly brown hair headed straight for the house he had set his sights on, and was greeted warmly by his wife and daughter.
This should be a husband and father returning from a business trip...... However, the operation of coming out of the coffin and going home directly is really a wonderful sense of disobedience...... Abner complained, and continued his journey to choose a "white prostitution house".
……
Beckland, Klein had just returned to Minsk Street after protecting Mike's reporter after completing his interview with Daisy and Liv's family, when he saw Dr. Allen waiting for him at the door.
He had accompanied the doctor a few days earlier to look for the child named Will Onsetin, but unfortunately the other party had passed away and his family had long since moved out.
This was supposed to be the end of the matter, but Alan suddenly had a nightmare that night, dreaming of a large silver-white snake, and the child named "Will" was asking him for help.
And after Klein's "meticulous" "reasoning", he realized that the nightmare should originate from a thousand paper cranes that Will gave to Allen before his death.
After investigating in a dream, Klein found that the battle between the two "Mercury Serpents" was likely to be involved behind this incident, so he secretly exchanged the paper crane he folded for Allen's one, so as not to cause disaster for him.
Last night, the Nightman came to Klein's dream to inquire about it, and after he informed him about the Thousand Paper Cranes, the "Nightmare" left happily.
As soon as Klein thought about this, Alan took out his wallet, took out a thousand paper cranes, and then said impatiently:
"Sherlock, I had that nightmare again last night, I don't think it's normal.
"Do you think it's a problem?
"Ever since I found it and carried it with me, I've had nightmares."
Klein glanced at it indifferently, his expression suddenly froze a little, if he hadn't been a "clown" before, and he had a strong ability to control his facial muscles, he might even show an unconcealable smile in front of the doctor, yes, a smile.
This, this thousand paper cranes are folded uglier than mine...... Could it be that this is the tradition of the night watchman, and the manual work is relatively poor? It was an instantaneous idea for Klein.
There is no doubt that the thousand paper cranes in front of them are the product of another bag drop, and after getting accurate information from themselves, the night watchmen did not seem to delay, and sneaked into Dr. Allen's bedroom that night to adjust the bag.
The operation is correct, but the work is rougher...... Crane shook his head secretly, and then organized a few words to comfort Allen, and encouraged him to talk to the bishop...... After speaking, he did not forget to draw a triangular holy emblem on his chest.
Alan calmed down after listening to the suggestion, nodded in approval:
"Makes sense...... I'll go to the bishop. ”
After Alan left in a hurry, Crane sighed, quickened his pace, took out the key, and opened the door to his house.
Before entering, he habitually looked at the mailbox and found that there was another letter lying inside.
Who sent it? Crane took out the letter and glanced at the misty sunset.
No stamps...... The handwriting is very beautiful and a little familiar...... Hey? It seems to be the handwriting of the same Miss Hazel in the Harvest Chapel...... How could she write to me? How did you send it?
Soon, though, Klein figured out where the letter had come from.
He had brought the Bloodhouse Emlyn to make potions for his neighbor, Mrs. Doris, and had revealed his address at that time......
So, it was Emlyn who made the "postman"?
Nodding thoughtfully, Crane entered the house and closed the door, and then after wearing the "Nightmare Badge", he opened the letter and read it - the "Nightmare Badge" can provide weak night vision, so it is better to save a little if you can leave the lights on.
The letter was indeed signed by Miss Hazel Macht, and it did not contain much content, except that he had been asked to meet him at the Harvest Chapel tomorrow evening, and wanted to entrust him with an errand.
Klein took the letter and muttered for a while, then returned to the bedroom, walked four steps backwards into the gray mist, manifested the pendulum, and said silently:
"It's dangerous to meet Miss Hazel tomorrow at the Harvest Chapel."
Seven times later, he opened his eyes and saw that the citrine pendant was turning counterclockwise.
There is no danger...... The description is a normal delegated task...... However, Miss Hazel is the daughter of a member of the House of Commons, and her family is wealthy and backed by the Church of Mother Earth God...... What will I need a little detective to do?
Isn't it for me to catch Mr. Tower's traitor?
But Mr. "Tower" seems to be in Baiam at the moment, which is a bit far away......
Crane couldn't help but guess.
……
22 Incisor Street, Upper Lip District, South Continent, Gulain City.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Abner returned to the house he had originally chosen, because he had searched for a long time, but he had not found a more suitable one.
After making his decision, Abner disappeared from his body, simulated the ability to "open the door", and walked into the entrance in a grand manner.
Before entering, he glanced back at the door number and saw that it was written in both Rune and Dutan:
"The Wall family."
