Chapter 178: A New Goal

7 Pinster Street.

"Old man, did you say that this extraordinary person with an ancient aura who appeared in the church is the mysterious person that His Excellency Cessima's tracked down?"

After a few seconds, a familiar old voice sounded in Leonard's head: "How do I know?" ”

After a pause, the voice added, "I don't have the impression that there are such high-ranking people who are friendly to the church and like to play tricks on night watchers, which is not in keeping with their status. ”

Leonard showed a thoughtful expression, and his voice muttered indistinctly, "Only ...... She likes to play pranks, but she doesn't do such things. ”

"Then I...... Investigate? Leonard immediately answered.

"Don't go deep...... Stay safe. ”

Leonard made himself a cup of fragrant coffee, then sat down in a high-backed chair, expertly placed his feet on the desk, took a sip of coffee, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

During this time, his team is resting, and he is ready to continue to track down Detective Sherlock Moriarty's clue.

……

Manners teacher Vahanna Haysen was satisfied and got into the carriage that her employer had taken her home.

Crane looked like he had been hollowed out and leaned back in an easy chair, and he sent the valet out of the door, and he wanted to rest for a while.

"Why are you so tired of yourself? Why not just use the Faceling's abilities, which will not only be able to crouch in the church all day long, but also ...... It's a lot of money! ”

Crane said slowly in a loveless tone: "I want to take the opportunity to investigate the matter of Prince Edsak, I always feel that there are other people who are working with the witch, they are still cooperating with the Aurora Society, and I don't know what they are plotting." ”

"But after you steal the notes, if you can't keep your identity, you'll lose a lot."

"Tut, don't you feel guilty about the Night Church, and want to make up for it a little bit by donating and seek peace of mind."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Crane did not change his posture as if he was paralyzed, but still replied weakly in that rather tired voice: "There is a word, I don't know if you know, life is already so difficult, some things should not be debunked." ”

After a few more moments, Crane spoke again, his voice low, and he sighed and asked, "Actually, you know the magician's potion recipe, right?" Why watch me try other dangerous methods? ”

In Crane's expectation, the atmosphere would suddenly become oppressive, and the lamp god might be silent, or he might give a less pleasant answer, maybe he shouldn't have asked this, but probably because of his mental exhaustion, he couldn't help but want to complain to his friends.

But no, the lamp god immediately retorted: "Yes, I do know, the kind of god who is guaranteed to know." ”

Crane couldn't help but roll his eyelids.

"But I can't give it to you directly, if you don't go through enough experience, and then the battle for Source Fort fails, won't I lose all my money, and I don't know how long I will stay in this Laoshzi seal."

"Then why haven't you tried to find a way to break the seal?" Crane replied dissatisfied.

"I'm working hard, I'm not trying to spur you to grow?"

Crane sat silently for a long time looking at the patterns on the high ceiling, and then suddenly spoke aloud: "Richardson, let someone prepare dinner." ”

……

"You came to see me, is there any progress on your side?" The speaker was an unusually young and beautiful woman, dressed in a white robe, with black hair scattered, with the innocence of a girl.

The man opposite focused his eyes on the candle flame beside the woman, and paused for a moment before speaking: "There is no clue about Triss yet, but we think that since she is hiding in Beckland and refuses to leave, there must be her purpose, she may not be reconciled, and if she wants to investigate the matter of Prince Edsak, you can wait for her to find out." ”

"Hmph, is it possible, she was forced to have feelings?"

The man did not answer, the orange candle flame burned very quietly, the candle may have been mixed with special spices, and the thin warm fragrance seemed like the woman's soft fingers caressing the people in the room with the soft candlelight.

The woman seemed to think for a moment before she spoke, "If she shows up, let me know." ”

The man bowed his head slightly, and continued: "You failed last time, and we paid a lot of price. ”

"Panatia was careless." The woman's voice seemed to be resentful, and people couldn't help but feel pity, "This time we have almost prepared, when will the remuneration be paid?" ”

"We need to see a satisfactory result first."

"Hmm...... This has been delayed for too long. The voice was ethereal, like a sigh.

……

There wasn't a lot of rain in Bakerland in May, and the Air Pollution Investigation Commission did some work.

Although there is still a lot of learning to be done by the new employer, Walter, the housekeeper, has set aside his morning time for the employer to do some personal work.

Through the open window, Crane saw the tended garden and lawn, with the scattered flowers dotted within.

After standing in silence for a moment, Crane suddenly spoke up and ordered Richardson to prepare the carriage.

Finding a casual excuse to leave Richardson behind, Crane got into the carriage alone and told the coachman to drive to the East End.

Crane pretended to be watching the civilian area outside the window and told the driver to slow down.

The carriage slowly drove through street after street, then around the docks and the factory area again before Crane let the coachman return to Bercolnd Street.

In the afternoon, before the philosophy class, Crane came to St. Samuel's Church again with great dedication. To find out the pattern of the inner caretaker, he would need to try his luck at church at different times of the day several times.

In the midst of a prayer that calms the soul, Crane suddenly has a strong sense of being watched, not malicious, but very presence.

Crane waited a moment before opening his eyes, pretending to be the end of the prayer, and casually looked sideways at the young man with dark hair and green boy smiling and nodding at him, then closing his eyes as if praying.

It's quite similar.

Crane unconsciously curled the corners of his lips and inwardly despised his former colleague.

After meeting Leonard last time, he knew that the old man who was parasitic on him should be able to detect the breath of the source castle, and it was up to him to see if this portable plug-in would tell Leonard, and now it seems that the parasite chose to remind him, and Leonard really wanted to investigate.

I can't let Leonard do bad things, I have to intimidate the old angel and shut him up.

Crane proceeded as usual, donating and feeding the pigeons, and then took Richardson in a carriage and left.

Leonard consciously observes the Extraordinary Being with an ancient aura very covertly but in the open, and watches him off. He was going to put aside the matter of Detective Sherlock, who had not made much progress for the time being, and prioritized collecting information to investigate this one.

Crane took out a pen and paper and wrote a note, and was about to lift the spiritual wall on the gold coin, so that SeΓ±or possessed a dove to deliver a threatening letter to Leonard, when the voice of the lamp god suddenly sounded in his ears.

"You wait, let me catch up with Pales first."

"You...... It won't hurt Leonard, right? It's the parasitic night watchman. Crane asked with some uneasiness.

"Have you seen anything else, a seal with a conscience like mine?" The lamp god asked rhetorically in an unkind tone.

"Not really...... But I haven't seen a few magical items either. Crane paused for a moment and continued, "You...... Don't make too much of a fuss. ”

"I'm going to scare the old man!" There was a faint excitement in the tone of the lamp god.
