Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Cloak Shop
Grass! The original owner wouldn't have really done such a bloody thing before, right? As soon as this thought appeared in Sean's mind, he immediately shook his head frantically, impossible, absolutely impossible.
He looked down between his legs again, and secretly vowed that if he had the chance, he would verify that he was still not a virgin.
Oscar Sauron looked at Sean, who shook his head for a while and looked down at his crotch for a while, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "Sean, then I have to ask you, what happened when you and Rex went back to his house that day?" Or what did you see and do? β
Sean came back to his senses and shook his head blankly: "I don't know, I don't have any memory of what happened that night." β
Oscar Sauron sighed secretly, although he knew that this would be the result, he was still a little disappointed: "Forget it, don't mention this, I have a task to give you now." β
Sean was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Is there a bonus?" β
Oscar Soren smiled slightly, and handed the note written on the table to Sean, "You take this pay slip to Martin, he will withdraw four weeks' salary for you in advance, as for the bonus this time, I can only tell you, to study more like Kelly." β
At the end, he patted Sean on the shoulder meaningfully.
Sean looked at the content written on the note with a bewildered face, "Sean Victoria withdraws four weeks' salary in advance, a total of 32 gold coins, approved by Oscar Solon", his heart was ecstatic, and he couldn't help but mark the cross on his chest, and said reverently: "Praise the God of Light." β
Oscar Soren smiled slightly: "This mission will be up to you and Kelly to act together, and she will tell you the specific content of the mission at that time, and I want to say that before the mission begins, you must become proficient in the use of the seal C-178 as soon as possible." β
Sean was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at the silver box placed on the table, and said, "This is the seal?" β
"Yes." Oscar Sauron nodded slightly, then took out a piece of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Sean, "Look carefully, it's better to remember." β
Sean subconsciously took it in his hand and looked at it.
"Designation: C-178."
"Name: Rowling's pocket watch."
"Danger Level: 'C' level, there is a certain danger, you have to use it carefully, you must act more than three people to apply, and the secrecy level is to be an official member of the team."
"Sealing method: Mithril box."
"Description: A pocket watch whose hands never move, found in the tomb of an earl during the time of Augustine I."
"Effect: The user can temporarily stop the flow of time around them, and after testing, it is ineffective at five meters away, three seconds within three meters, and five seconds within one meter, and the wearer is not affected."
"Side effects: The user's perception of time flow rate will be reduced after each use, and it will return to normal in about a day."
"Advice: Do not use frequently, the consequences are unknown."
......
Sean was shocked to read the contents of this parchment, and looked up in surprise and said, "Captain, what is the perception that will reduce the flow of time?" β
The corners of Oscar Soren's mouth curled slightly, and he said lightly: "It's very simple, it's that in your senses, everything around you slows down, but in fact, it doesn't slow down. β
Sean was stunned for a moment, then understood, and gasped: "So terrible!?" β
"It's fine." Oscar Sauron looked at Sean meaningfully, "With its ability to stop time, if the side effects are not big, do you think it will be just a C-class seal?" β
Sean immediately reacted and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, a seal that can stop time, even if it is only for a few seconds, is very terrifying. β
Oscar Sauron pointed to the silver box again: "Remember, this is a Mithril box for seals, as long as you don't open it, C-178's abilities won't be released." β
Sean nodded earnestly.
"Also, do you remember what was on the parchment?"
Sean was stunned, noticed Captain Oscar's outstretched hand, and immediately understood something, and quickly lowered his head to memorize the content on the parchment.
In less than three minutes, he closed his eyes and memorized it silently, and returned the parchment to Captain Oscar with satisfaction.
Oscar Sauron put away the parchment, rubbed his temples, and said with a tired look in his eyes: "Go, remember to convince your cat to go with you." β
Sean was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth raised an arc: "With Ms. Kelly here, Brother Tom will definitely not be absent." β
"Brother Tom?" Oscar Soren silently read the name, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he said to Sean, who had already walked to the door, "You forgot to return my Mithril dagger." β
Sean's body paused, suddenly accelerated, and disappeared from the sight of Oscar Soren with a stunned face in the blink of an eye.
"This kid!" Oscar Soren shook his head with a wry smile.
.......
Roman Quarter, in front of the English cloakshop.
Sean touched the 32 gold coins in his inner pocket, looked down at Ms. Kelly on the side and said, "Do you have to buy it?" β
Although he has always been very envious of those well-dressed gentlemen, and he also wants to buy himself a decent dress, but after really advancing the salary for four weeks, what he wants to do most is to see his aunt quickly, and then leave two gold coins for himself, and say to his aunt with confidence: "Auntie, you can take these 30 gold coins, you don't have to do odd jobs in the library, I will support the family in the future." β
Thinking of his aunt's surprised expression when he saw so many gold coins, Sean couldn't help but smirk.
Ms. Kelly first glanced at Sean's stupid appearance, and then vigilantly glanced at the black cat on Sean's shoulder, who had been staring at Lucy in her arms, and almost pounced, and frowned: "It's a good thing to adopt a kitten with love, but can you bathe it?" β
Sean was stunned, and before he could speak, he saw Brother Tom angry and said, "What an uninformed woman, doesn't she know that I am the embodiment of male charm?" β
After a pause, it glanced at the white, clean, lazy and turned over Lucy in Ms. Kelly's arms, swallowed its saliva, looked sideways at Sean and said, "Where can I take a bath?" β
In Kelly Marshall's ears, what he heard was Tom's "meow".
Sean smiled awkwardly, and was about to organize words to save Brother Tom's respect, when he saw that Kelly Maciel had already pushed open the door of the cloakshop with Lucy in his arms.
"Let's go, Sean, dressing up decently is one of the things you need to get into Red's private club." Kelly Marcile rolled her eyes at Sean as she walked into the coat shop.
Sean had nothing to say, so he could only touch the gold coins in his inner pocket again and walk in with Tom.
The shop was much larger than the one he had seen in the Tulip Quarter, and it looked tasteful in terms of dΓ©cor and furnishings.
The layout of the cloakhouse is very simple, with a row of orthodox tuxedos hanging on the left wall, sandwiched between shirts, vests, hats, ties and other clothing; On the right wall are rows of glass cabinets, in which clean, shiny leather shoes and boots are placed; On the front wall are beautiful walking sticks of different materials and sizes.
