Chapter 17: Invitations
"Huh?" Lowe turned his head to look at Lorenz.
"I've fully understood, Mr. Austin, no, Lowe. I understand your desire for financial comfort, and trust me! ”
The censor looked quite excited, and it was clear that he really wanted Lowe to join the "Ruined Library".
"I am the guardian of the Broken Path, the only access officer to the 'Ruined Library'! Trust me, the Ruin Library won't disappoint you! Wait for me three more days, oh no, two days! I will definitely strive for a satisfactory treatment condition for you! ”
"Oh......" Lowe was noncommittal.
If you want to prostitute for nothing, you can't.
He is a realistic person, the money is not in place, and everything is not to be discussed.
Nothing can make him lower his noble head unless he adds money.
So he can wait two days and see what kind of results he can receive. If the offer is really generous and you can give him a good pay, it is not impossible to go to work.
In addition, Luo Wei was still quite curious about the holy relic called "The Remnants of the Old Days".
He vaguely felt that the world did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
"Captain Evan, could you please arrange for the supervision of Lowe...... Nurse. I'm going to go back to the 'tower' and help him get a paycheck!" ”
"Is it really necessary to toss like this?" Evan looked at Lorenz suspiciously.
"You don't understand. In the 'Library of Ruins', Lowe's qualities are priceless! ”
The inquisitor gave Lowe a deep look, then quickly packed up his clothes and saluted, and tucked the small box into his arms.
After a brief farewell to everyone, he hurried away.
"Warrent?" Evan looked around.
"Here."
Warrent's voice came from the doorway of the room. Evan looked back and saw that Warrent was approaching from outside.
"I'll give you a 48-hour surveillance mission, and the target is still Lowe."
"Why me again?!" Warrent screamed, "Captain, you can arrange someone else, I want to go out with you!" ”
"You're still too weak. Moreover, there are not so many field workers for you to go out. Captain Evan completely ignored Warrent's pleading tone.
Lowe duly asked beside him, "Captain, do you need me to be grounded?" Is there a kick-down compensation? ”
The man's face darkened visibly.
"Nope. No, you don't! ”
He shook off the sentence and got up to leave.
Seeing this, the accountant lady who was sitting next to her stuck out her tongue and ran out with her.
“……”
Warrent was at the door, pointing at Lowe with a resentful expression on his face for a long time, and finally did not say anything, and went to sulk alone.
……
……
At half past four in the afternoon, Lowe took the carriage of the Department of Security and returned to the Shisu Street neighborhood.
"Go back and read the Bill of Rights. I always feel like it's protected me invisibly many times. As he watched the carriage go away, he muttered to himself as he walked in the direction of home.
Before going home, I also made a special detour to visit the bakery in the neighborhood.
Lowe paid 1 plang in exchange for the bakery owner Coren and his wife to promote the "tarot divination" for him.
He is still stretched thin, so he can only resort to this word-of-mouth marketing.
If he can save more money in the future, Luo Wei plans to find a tabloid newspaper and publish an advertisement for his tarot divination in the advertising column, which will surely have a better effect.
The neighbors of Shiso Street are ordinary citizens who don't have much money to spare. And divination and fortune telling, if you really want to make money, you should make the money of the rich.
Think about past lives:
The project was launched, and the boss led the employees to burn incense and worship the Buddha......
The rich choose a house and spend a lot of money to invite Mr. Feng Shui......
The big guy invests and throws seven figures to calculate the auspicious time of the operation......
These things show that local tyrants are the ultimate destination of metaphysics.
……
Pushing the door into the house, Belinda was nestled in the sofa, reading a book seriously.
Lowe didn't bother her, and went straight to the back room, pushing open a very inconspicuous door in the corner.
It is a small and inconspicuous utility room located in the northeast corner of the house, which is connected to the kitchen and dining room. Next to the wall is the bathroom on the first floor.
"Very good. The bathroom is water, the kitchen is fire, the feet are dirt, and the outside is wind...... It's also an elemental balance. ”
Lowe was very happy with the location of this small room.
He planned to clear out the room and use it as a special divination room in the future.
This slender room is only about four or five square meters. There are no windows, only one door, and it is an ideal space for divination.
"Set up a table in the middle, then hang a curtain, put some dark wallpaper on the walls around it, and add a few paintings with occult elements...... It was just perfect. ”
Once decided, he immediately set to action.
After a simple sweep of the dust in the house, I began to move all kinds of boxes of miscellaneous items upstairs.
There is also a small attic with little space on the second floor, which can store these old things.
There were a total of eight boxes in the utility room, and when Luo Wei moved halfway through, he found that two of the boxes were particularly heavy.
When I opened it, I found that it was full of books.
"What is this? Why didn't you put it in the study? ”
Luo Wei casually picked up two books and opened them, only to find that most of the things in them were written by his deceased parents.
Each book contains a separate record of a site they participated in excavating, including but not limited to: photographs, letters, various notes, drawings, and some "tofu blocks" cut from newspaper news at the time.
"Good guy, this is the professional version of "Tomb Robbery Notes"."
Although Luo Wei couldn't read it, he was shocked. He really felt how powerful his parents were back then.
"Feeling...... Why don't you add a bookshelf to the back wall? He suddenly had a new idea, "These survey notes of various ruins, as well as some occult books, are on the shelves here. ”
Occult, bookshelves, divination tables, tarot cards...... What an atmosphere.
As he was thinking, Belinda's confused voice came from behind him.
"Lowe? What are you doing? ”
"You're done?"
Lowe turned around and saw Belinda standing in the doorway with a book in her hands, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'm done. A collection of William Worth's poems, which was recently recommended to me by Yvette. ”
"Uh-huh."
Luo Wei had never heard of this person, so he naturally changed the subject and introduced his plan:
"I'm going to clean up this room and use it exclusively for tarot divination in the future. I moved all the original things in the house upstairs......"
Bang bang bang.
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden knock on the door in the direction of the living room.
Both siblings looked puzzled.
At this time, there will be guests at home?
The two of them came to the door together.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by a middle-aged man wearing a butler's dress.
"May I ask you ......," Lowe said tentatively.
"Dear Mr. Austin."
The butler bowed unhurriedly, and then took out a bulging envelope from his robe:
"I am Earl Lane's butler, and I am on the orders of the Second Lady to deliver this letter to you."
"Second Miss?" Lowe didn't react for a moment.
"It's Yvette."
Belinda, who was hiding behind her, secretly tugged at Lowe's sleeve.
"Oh, Yvette!" Luo Wei patted his head, quickly took a step back, and made room for the housekeeper, "I'm sorry for you, let's go into the house and sit for a while." ”
"No, I'm sure you got this letter, and I have to reply to Second Miss as soon as possible."
After the butler finished speaking, he turned and left.
Only then did Luo Wei notice that in the carriage parked on the street, there seemed to be a woman's side face flashing.
"That's Yvette?"
The flashing eyebrows were quite familiar, which made Luo Wei wonder a little: "Why did this girl hide in the carriage and not send it herself?" ”
The carriage had already gone away, and Belinda eagerly snatched the envelope from Lowe's hand and went into the house to look for scissors to cut it.
"What's written on it?"
Lowe closed the door and walked over to Belinda.
The little girl was still looking intently at the words on the envelope. Lowe noticed that there were two small, beautifully crafted cards on the table.
"No. 12 Maple Frost White Leaf Avenue...... Medwell Manor......"
This is an invitation.
"Wait."
"Tea party? Tomorrow? ”
"Invite me to join?"
Luo Wei saw that on one of the invitations, his name was written in beautiful floral characters!
