Chapter Eighty-Six: Seeing Through

The price, whether it is paid or obtained, everything has to be paid, after a period of silence, Jiang Chenchuan didn't ask anything more, just explained that Rena had paid more attention to the actions of the Witch Sect recently, and told her that there were already members arriving in Polnia.

"As long as the Black Hat Hotel has any information, please tell me immediately."

"No problem!"

Rena readily agreed, and said that she would definitely give Jiang Chenchuan a friendly discount.

"Oh, by the way, I've made an appointment with Ethan the day after tomorrow, do you want to come with me to the Atlas Alchemy Academy?"

"Alchemy Academy?"

"Actually, it's not just for alchemy, I haven't been to the Atlas Alchemy Academy until I graduated from the Polnia Noble Academy, which is a place that many people yearn for, besides, it doesn't hurt to go and have more information."

As soon as he mentioned this, Jiang Chenchuan remembered the information about the omniscient eye, the hidden secrets, and the plan to explore the Knowledge Society, all of which needed Ethan's help, so he didn't refuse Rena's invitation, nodded and agreed.

You know, it's not the darkness that's really terrifying, it's the unknown, and when the fog spreads, people who are still breathing can only wait for death in silence.

On the way home, Jiang Chenchuan, who was not in a hurry, stopped by the bookstore and paid attention to some books and periodicals published by the Knowledge Society, most of which were related to the mysterious or transcendental, as well as mythological stories about the Lord of the Storm.

They seem to be very interested in the ocean, and even Nika revealed the mystery of the Xinlan Sea before he died, and the orthodox school always believes that the transcendent power comes from the World Tree, which is the body of the gods, a sublime relic, and then derived from the Four Orthodox Churches.

There is also another school of scholars who believe that the source of the transcendent comes from the sea, and that there are gods who control storms on the sea, who control nature, and control everything in the world, thus giving rise to the existence of evil gods.

I picked out some books that seemed useful and bought them, although it cost a lot of money, but in Jiang Chenchuan's eyes, the transaction of exchanging money for knowledge was not a loss.

Along the way, I heard many people discussing the fire in the Circus of the Wild Beasts, and listened attentively, probably because the incident made the headlines of the "Bornia Daily", which set off a storm of public opinion.

So when passing by the newsstand, Jiang Chenchuan also bought a newspaper before leaving.

There is still a lot to see, and we can only hope that there are no relics to be recovered in the museum in the near future, and the Circus of the Wild Beasts has been published on the fourth page of the daily newspaper of Pornia, and there is nothing new in front of it.

[The Beast Circus has announced that it will stop performing in the near future due to an unexpected fire, which has caused a large number of casualties. 】

In addition, there was another piece of news that caught Jiang Chenchuan's attention.

[Duanting Western-style Pavilion is an ancient Western-style pavilion established by the Horst family in the 198th year of the Beier calendar, which was once a symbol of architectural civilization in the last century, which is of great significance. The Horst family said that the auction will be held in the near future, and people from all walks of life are welcome to actively participate in the event. 】

The rest is the advertising words written by the valuation company for themselves, no matter what world it is, it is not easy to make money.

Holding a stack of books, as soon as he opened the door, he heard Loquelen's greeting:

"Ewell."

"Here we are."

Jiang Chenchuan answered as usual, piling the books on the table, stacking them high like a mountain, so that they could be taken and read at any time.

"You're buying books again."

Loqueren stood up, looking not very happy, could it be that he bought it expensive, Jiang Chenchuan glanced down, it was not much, it should not affect the cost of eating.

"What's wrong?"

After returning to his desk, he sat down, put the newspaper in a corner, habitually opened the drawer, took out the notebook and spread it out on the table, but did not take the pen for a long time, he waited for Loquelen's answer.

"Forget it, you can look at this, I received it this morning."

Loqueren handed over a letter, with traces of being opened, Jiang Chenchuan took it easily, and saw the full name of the recipient at a glance.

"Received by Mr. Lochren Horst."

"You know, I've been away from those old guys a long time ago, and it's unforgivable that they're going to sell my grandfather's house now!"

Loqueren said angrily as he hammered the table to the ground.

"Calm down, Loquenn, do you want to take a look at this."

As he spoke, he also handed over the fresh and hot newspaper, and it was a coincidence that the lawyer's letter was delivered as soon as it appeared in the newspaper today.

Generally speaking, the so-called coincidences should be premeditated, and it is a good idea to reintegrate and sort out all the information.

"Unusual ......?"

Jiang Chenchuan read a key word in the letter, spread the letter on the table, pointed to the sentence on it and said.

"Loquelen, have you read this letter carefully?"

"No, I just looked at the beginning, and I was really angry and came to you...... I don't bother to look at it anymore, or you can just say it. ”

Loqueren pulled out his chair, sat down angrily, and raised his hand to signal Jiang Chenchuan to speak.

"The letter said that since your grandfather died, you will not go home, live outside all the year round, Duanting Mansion will be empty, recently sent a maid to take care of it, there were some strange incidents, a few times, gradually everyone outside the house is haunted, in order to recover the loss, after the family meeting, it was decided to auction the house, you will be able to share 35% of the auction amount, as the corresponding compensation."

Loquelen, who was still angry, frowned as he listened.

"Haunted? How I didn't know about this. ”

"Most anomalies originate in the human heart, and of course, some supernatural powers."

Jiang Chenchuan explained unhurriedly.

"Based on my instincts as a detective for many years, this time has nothing to do with transcendence."

Jiang Chenchuan, who was deeply mired in weirdness, couldn't give an answer, but the incident had fermented for a while, if it was affected by the power of the relics, the museum should have discovered the abnormality a long time ago, perhaps, you can go and inquire about the news.

"When will the auction take place?"

Jiang Chenchuan glanced at the newspaper and replied:

"A week later, at the Duanting Western-style Pavilion, as long as you have money, you can participate, wait, admission tickets...... Twenty gold gallons!? ”

For a moment, Jiang Chenchuan wanted to persuade Loqueren to give up the investigation, which was beyond the scope of the detective agency.

"Don't worry, with me, they don't dare to charge you tickets, the Black River Detective Agency never does loss-making business, but, until then, I always have a question I want to ask you......"

Come to think of it, Loqueren is a fierce man who will cry bitterly because he is sad about losing money, so naturally he will not pay such a large sum of money to return to his home.

"What's the problem?"

It is rare to see Lok Lun posting so seriously, but Jiang Chenchuan can't help but pay attention to it.

"Actually, I found out a long time ago, but I haven't asked, you're not Ewell, you're ...... Who exactly? ”
