Chapter 35: Antlerstown

"Don't worry, I haven't finished the specific requirements yet. The 100 gold pounds also cover your home living expenses. If you choose to take the commission, you must stop all other activities for a period of time to be safe. Please stay at home as much as possible and keep your doors and windows closed. And don't be alone, wait for me to come and meet, and then go out. ”

Grandin made his own request.

"That's what you're saying is dangerous?" Hugh gritted his teeth.

Even being restricted from going out doesn't sound like a little risk! Does it mean that after carrying out the mission, you may be stabbed to death in the alley at any time?

"As long as you're with me, it's not too dangerous." Grandin reiterates.

"How long will this mission last?" Hugh thought of the 100 gold pounds, and she calmed down and took a vicious bite of the sandwich.

"Maybe a week, maybe a month, depending on when they bite the bait." The hands on the bell tower had already passed twelve o'clock, and Grandin began to ponder where to go for lunch for a while, "By the way, my reward for Forth is that I will reserve for her the extraordinary characteristics of the 'master of tricks' for the time being, and she is welcome to come and buy them at any time." ”

"Forthth? I'm not going to bother her. Hugh finished his food in two bites.

"Miss Hugh, your good friend will not let you go on an adventure alone, she will definitely follow. By the way, please help her disguise herself, her makeup skills are too bad. Grandin reminded again, then continued, "When you're ready, we'll start fishing." ”

"I'm ready to go! The earlier you start, the sooner you finish. Hugh swung his legs, strained his waist and abdomen, and left the bench at once.

"Then we'll meet at 2 o'clock on Pickering Avenue East End."

Grandin decided to buy a steak, he had it last time, and it tasted very good.

......

After passing through a shop where live fish was slaughtered and two more thieves were dispatched, Grandin saw Hugh and Furth already waiting at the entrance to the black market.

Their disguises are quite decent, and they now look like two male thieves. It's a pity that Hugh's height is a bit of a drag on her, making her disguise have some flaws.

Even if she was high, she was still a little conspicuous.

Grandin walked past the two of them and reminded them in a voice just long enough to hear them:

"Don't go to John's Pawnshop, the owner there has a background in the Storm Church."

After saying that, he was the first to enter the open-air black market.

The rest of the investigation was lackluster, and Grandin's eyes followed them. He watched as the two of them kept selling their 'stolen goods' to others, but few people were interested.

They had been around several places that afternoon, and then Grandin escorted them back to Jowood.

"What did you give me? A naked man hanging upside down? ”

Hugh complained, and when she first opened the box, she was startled.

Foirth also cast a suspicious look, and the two mustaches on her lips trembled.

Grandin was on his guard the way, but he didn't notice anyone following, so he relaxed. However, he still had to say, "This thing is related to the Aurora Society, don't open the box if it's okay." ”

"Isn't it just an ordinary pendant? Like this kind of thing, it's really crazy......" Furth ripped off her fake beard, her lips a little red and swollen.

"Ordinary pendants? Did you hear anything after opening the box? Grandin paused.

Hugh and Furth looked at each other suspiciously, and finally Hugh said:

"No, it's just a weird pendant. Any questions? ”

"Anyway, be careful. But now it seems that it is safe to store it in a lead box. As for the timing of the next operation...... I think we can try again on Monday night. ”

The black market is a little more lively at night, and sellers are more willing to sell their goods at night. The dim light always breeds more sin.

With that, Grandin took his leave and left. Along the way, he was still thinking:

Could it be that my inspiration was too high that I had auditory hallucinations?

......

In Antlerstown, Beckland, famous for its service industry, Grandin was standing on the garden lawn dressed as a gentleman. His height is elongated by the 'Harlequin Mask', and his face is also very cold.

There were many men around him, some reciting poetry, some playing bagpipes. There was even a sailor who took off his shirt directly, revealing his strong muscles.

On the second-floor terrace of the 'Black Swan House', Rowena was wearing a red dress and leaning on the railing in a variety of styles. Her red hair was stirred by the evening breeze, and it burned like a fire into the hearts of the men at the scene.

Among these peacock-like men, Grandin, who doesn't say a word, is very different.

"Hey, bro. If you want to rely on this trick to win the favor of beauties, then you have made a mistake. I stopped playing this trick when I was eight years old. The man who took the initiative to talk to Grandin had just read a sonnet-line poem in public.

He gasped for breath and joined the fight again:

"Oh where did you get this magic power from, even the fallacy can control my mind!"

What's wrong with these guys?

Grandin came out with a cold face, and he spoke:

"I'm going to add a bell! 100 gold pounds. ”

Like a cold snap swept by, the noise around him gradually stopped, and everyone looked at him in disbelief, even the sailor thought his behavior was rude.

Rowena's moving eyes were tinged with disgust, and she glanced over.

"200 gold pounds, Harris introduced me." Grandin was unmoved.

Leaning on the railing, Rowena's eyes flashed, "How long are you going to add this handsome gentleman?" ”

"All night."

Grandin straightened his clothes.

'Jingle bell'.

Brass bells rang on the porch, and the doors of the old houses with steeples opened. When the rest of the men saw this, they all let out wails of disappointment and pain.

Grandin sighed as he walked into the house.

"Did you come here to dismantle me? I'm all about mood here! You are so straightforward, how will I do business in the future. ”

As soon as he entered, Rowena grumbled.

However, since she received Grandin's order, Rowena still led the way with great professionalism.

"No, I don't have the spare time to tear down your platform. I have a commission here that I need you to complete. ”

Rowena's lilt, tulle dress was like a cloud, swelling up as she turned. M..coM

"Just for this? Did you order a whole night? ”

Her chest began to rise and fall violently, like a tigress, and her expression was a little frightening.

"It's too short, what if they think I can't do it."

Grandin replied with a straight face.

"You...... Really. ”

Rowena had nothing to say.
