Chapter 490: Meeting
Tuesday morning in a coffee shop in the Bakerland Hilston district.
After handing over the manuscript that had been rushed out overnight to the editor, Furth watched her leave and enjoy the store's new specialty dessert alone.
Strange to say, although she didn't go out much before, she also frequented this café because of the delivery, and they didn't have pastries of this caliber before.
"Maybe it's a new pastry chef?" Just when she was divergent in her thoughts, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded in her ears:
"It's Miss Forth, you're ......"
Firth hurried to find that Mr. Lawrence, who was from the Abrahamic family, had also appeared in the café at some point, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Hello, Mr. Lawrence, I didn't expect to meet you here......" Furth wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and greeted him politely.
I didn't expect the results of the last "astrology" in my life to point to this lady who buried Lisa...... Could she be the "apprentice" in the "prophecy"?
The thought turned around in his mind, and Lawrence was about to respond to Forth's greetings, when he suddenly coughed violently.
Ahem, ahem!
He coughed so hard that his feet went limp, and he coughed and collapsed in the seat next to Folth, as if he was about to suffocate at any moment.
As a doctor who graduated from a regular college, Furth did not hesitate to lean down and start first aid.
And behind the counter of the café, a girl dressed as "neutral" also ran over, as if she wanted to help.
But she was quickly pulled back by the shopkeeper, as if she didn't want her to get into trouble because of this, after all, the old man was not in a good state at first glance......
After some busyness, Lawrence's condition finally stabilized, he wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and smiled at Folsi:
"Ma'am, can you take me back to the hotel?"
"No problem." Furth helped each other to their feet, and since the editor had already settled the bill, they walked out of the café without being hindered. Only before leaving, Furth glanced back curiously, for she remembered that when she came here last week, the boss and the waiter were not the same two people as before.
But she didn't care, after all, it was common for the store to change people in Beckland, and this also solved her previous doubts - no wonder the dessert tasted so good, it turned out that the boss had changed!
Coming out into the street, Lawrence looked ahead, his eyes slightly out of focus, and he coughed lightly, laughing half sadly and half self-deprecatingly:
"My life may have come to an end......"
……
In the back kitchen of the café, a woman with a face that looked to be in her forties, but the bare skin on her neck and hands was as delicate as a girl's, nodded the forehead of the "neutral" girl, and blocked the space with spirituality, and then scolded in a low voice:
"You just went over to help? If I hadn't brought you back, would you have to help get the old man back to the hotel?
"Use your brain, if the old man who seems to have a certain identity dies suddenly, you closest to him will at least be summoned by the police!
"I used extraordinary items to make the real owner of the shop think we were her relatives...... But how can our identities stand up to investigation? Especially after that incident last night! ”
The "girl" dressed as "neutral" lowered her head, obediently trained, and did not dare to refute a word.
"Forget it, maybe it's because of this kind of temperament that the ...... will attract the attention of that being" Seeing him like this, the "proprietress of the café" sighed and muttered to herself, "But why does He always stuff 'cooking methods' into your brain...... I've never seen such an evil god......
"According to the interpretation given by Russell the Great, the 'fool' in the tarot card symbolizes innocence, innocence, and possibility...... Well, in its positive description, it often also represents people who pursue novel dreams, have the courage to take risks, yearn for freedom, and have the temperament of an artist......
"The first few points, Xiao Ke all meet, no wonder he can 'fit' with the gods...... However, does the last 'artistic' mean 'culinary cuisine'? ”
The "girl" dressed as "neutral" heard her words, blinked, and asked, "That exists?" Is it the one who saved me last night? ”
"Now is not the time to say that...... In the evening, when you have recited the honorific name on the piece of paper I gave you, you will know......"
……
On the southern continent, outside the city of Gullayin, an old-fashioned sail warship with a scarred hull slowly sailed into the military port.
Moments later, Hugh Dilcha, dressed in the uniform of a naval officer, followed Vera and jumped off the deck onto the pier's pier.
Under the guidance of the reception staff, they came to an arranged villa near the military port and settled down.
After Vera had put away her luggage, she summoned Hugh and commanded:
"Our mission is not over...... However, if you have a day and a half off, you can visit the city of Gulayin and enjoy the exotic scenery......
"This is a 'benefit' for you officers accompanying you, and at the same time part of the 'mission'......"
"But we have to be back by 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, and we'll leave early Thursday morning to complete the follow-up mission."
Hearing this, Hugh said thoughtfully: "We are still 'bait'? ”
"Maybe, maybe not...... I don't know how they arranged it......" Vera shook her head, adding, "If you can, try to go to a bar, a ballroom or other public place, and the resulting expenses will be reimbursed." ”
"It's not good to drink......," Hugh replied earnestly, before nodding his head, "I'll get the job done." ”
After the meeting time was set again, Hugh left the villa with a handbag and walked towards the city.
Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the villa, Vera glanced at her distant back, then turned her head sideways to look at the battleship in the military port, and couldn't help but guess in her heart:
"The plan of the Rune military this time is not small...... I'm afraid that the 'Rose School' will really be hidden from the past......
"But I always felt that there was something else going on behind this...... Rune's people may not benefit in the end......
"Especially the 'Duke of Horror' who tested me...... So, is it Russell's previous arrangement, or is it ...... He? ”
……
Hugh went to the bar first as he was "told", and then was disappointed to find that there was no difference between such a place in the north and south continents, except for the more unusual shape of the wine glass.
Then, as agreed with Abner, she stopped a "coffin" at the designated location and lay down in it.
Hugh was also curious about this "fresh" means of transportation, and quickly found its loopholes - she couldn't see the road when she was lying inside, and if the coachman took a detour or pulled her somewhere else with malicious intentions, she couldn't find it at all.
As she thought, when Hugh lifted the "sliding lid" of the coffin and got up to come out, she was not at the address she had reported earlier, and the coachman had disappeared, replaced by Abner who looked at her with a smile.
"Long time no see."
