In order to become official hunters, Abel and Margaret will end their studies at the academy in advance, and when the Imperial Academy held a farewell ceremony for the students who became hunters, everyone found that Margaret had come early, but Abel was nowhere to be seen.

Surrounded by the crowd, Margaret was dressed as a white hunter of the Church, trapped in the cheers she had never felt before. Although her expression maintained a happy smile, she looked around from time to time, and Abel was delayed.

Eventually, she couldn't bear it anymore and went to Sherlock first, unbeknownst to him.

Bruce was busy piecing together the game, likewise seemingly unaware.

In the end, she could only ask Jackson, who kept talking to the female student, with her last hope: "Have you seen Abel, he doesn't seem to have shown up." ”

Jackson was talking eloquently, making the female trainees smile, and we had to admit that in the eyes of outsiders, hunters were such a glorious profession, and Jackson's eyes seemed to be glowing.

Interrupted by Margaret who came over, he had to give up and continue to chat, and responded calmly: "That guy, I asked him about his arrangements in the morning, but this kid actually said that he didn't plan to come here, where he was going, it should be Barracuda Street, find a carver." ”

Margaret nodded thoughtfully, that Professor Alice also did not appear here, maybe it had something to do with it.

"Hey, don't worry about it, the people in the Messiah's house are weird, he may be in the church of Maria in the afternoon."

Jackson teased, ignored Margaret after speaking, and continued to tease the female student next to him.

Margaret shook her head helplessly, this sir, sometimes it's really improper.

Abel was not interested in such gatherings, and went to Barracuda Street early in the morning to find the carver that Alice had spoken of.

At this point, he sneezed on Barracuda Street, complaining about who was saying his name.

Abel first came to Alice's dream shop Wangcheng branch, which was as lively as usual, and the magical things in it were in high demand in Wangcheng, such as the parrot that Margaret once raised, which was also sent to Plimpton Manor through many turnovers from here.

He approached Vincent to see if he had heard anything about the carver, for there was no shortage of gossiping nobles here, and if he had ears, he would inevitably hear some rumors.

Vincent groaned for a moment, as if there was such a person, and several nobles had been here a few days ago talking about the beauty of the statues of his men.

"I heard from them, even the Princeton family has customized a lot, how can I think of finding out about this person."

Abel found a seat and sat down, and then said: "It's not that I want to investigate, it's Aunt Alice who asked me, and I don't know what's special about this person, I don't want to tell me too much if I ask, I guess it's related to the demon statue." ”

"Ah, the Demon Statue." Vincent nodded frequently when he heard this, and then said curiously: "This kind of thing is man-made, it is unlikely that it will appear in the royal city." ”

Abel shook his head and told him about the group of statues he met on the Holy Spirit Day in the college: "Thanks to Aunt Alice, I really don't know what the consequences will be, and "A Few Lives" may be more serious." ”

He continued: "Well, you can go ahead and talk about the carver, and I hope to find him today and get the statue back." ”

Vincentra flicked a switch, and a separate partition wall in the house slowly lowered, and finally pressed to the floor.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, he said slowly: "Originally, according to the rules set by Ms. Alice, we shouldn't pass on this kind of customer privacy, but it should be okay to tell you." ”

Abel stretched out his hands, he knew Vincent would say this, but he was still exhausted by his seriousness: "Okay, please speak, I can't wait." ”

Vincent leaned forward, leaned against the counter and whispered, "There are two noble ladies who came to the store a few days ago to buy some novelties, saying that the children are clamoring for it, let us pick and choose, the price is not a problem." ”

"Alice said that this kind of big customer is God, so I didn't ask too much, and started to pick them very seriously."

"But they probably didn't shy away from hearing that Barracuda Street is a magical street, not only with Alice's shop, but also with a very good carver and a very distinct Norman style."

Speaking of which, Vincent went out of his way to see through the small door to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside, as if it were a great thing.

It's just that the guests are still picking out items in the noise, and there is a baboon helping to settle the bill, which Vincent has specially trained, otherwise sometimes he can't be busy alone, and Alice is still a hands-off shopkeeper.

After a while, he turned around reassuringly and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, make sure that baboon is doing its work, it's always willing to be lazy—by the way, where did I come from?" ”

Abel sighed and said, "Two noble ladies, speaking of a carver, Norman style. ”

Vincent patted his head: "Ah, yes, yes, that's it." I didn't care at first, Wangcheng is like this, anyone with the ability to drill here. ”

Abel nodded in agreement: "But what kind of weirdos also drill here." ”

Vincent didn't stop because of his interruption, but continued with a knowing smile: "But the rest is a little interesting, and it's also thanks to the fact that they really don't shy away from hearing it, that guy's name is Kate, it sounds like a female name, but a man. ”

"It is said that he came from Norman, traveled the world after the war in the City of Art, and finally decided to come here to show the highest art of mankind."

Vincent scoffed, and the characteristic of artists looking down on each other appeared at this moment, he believed that even a monkey could do carving, and only painting was the apex of art.

"The most curious thing is here, I heard that the price is enough, he can even create a living statue for you, and serve you as a servant or something, which is incredible."

He thought that this guy might really have some ability, but as soon as Abel talked about the demon statue, Vincent gradually reacted.

When Abel got this information, he said thoughtfully: "Kate, Norman style, sculptor - at what price can you buy a living statue?" ”

Vincent reconfirmed that no one was eavesdropping outside, and then explained: "It's not clear, but what is certain is that it's not money." ”

"Is there any clue how to find him?"

"You can go to an abandoned warehouse at the end of Barracuda Street, the guy I heard he lived there all along, but he only heard about it."

"I see, thank you for your help, then I'll go first."

Strange fellow, Abel thought, but thanked Vincent for his information, and got up to leave.

Vincent pulled the switch, the partition wall began to rise, and they were back in the noise.

He thanked Abel and said, "You're welcome, Abel, it's my honor to help you, welcome to come here next time." ”

"Okay, Vincent, next time I'd like to see your latest paintings."

After saying that, Abel walked out of the shop, he went out on the front foot, and the baboon who was in charge of the checkout on the back foot began to make a mess, and kept smashing some magical fruits that can change skin color on the faces of the customers around him, and the store was in chaos for a while.

Vincent slapped his thigh, and the baboon, as a result of the back of his head, stepped forward to stop it.

The noise that came from this faintly spread to the street through the wall, and the unaware Abel looked back and sighed: "The business of this small shop is really booming. ”

With that, he turned around and began to walk towards the depths of Barracuda Street.

The streets are equally bustling, with many children from the House of the Occult riding a flying mechanical horse, most likely made by the company, as Able saw his father make such a thing for Elsa when he was a child.

Francis's mount, Wheat Grass, was also modified into this form after a natural death to perpetuate life.

Mei sighed that this horse should have been made like this earlier, and the province would have to feed so much hay every day.

On top of that, you can even see unicorns on public display, which the guy next to you says is the only one left in the world that hasn't been aberrated.

Able squeezed through the crowd, slowly approaching the depths of Barracuda Street, where the voices gradually spoke.

By the time we arrived at the abandoned warehouse that Vincent had mentioned, it had fallen completely silent, and it was a fight with Lieyang Street.

But the difference is very big, the quietness of Lieyang Street means that it is not noisy, but there is no lack of wind and bird chirping from time to time.

It's pure silence, with the occasional roar of discarded machinery, and it's a lot like the Welsh industrial area after the Eight-Years' War.

He pushed open the door of the warehouse, and when he looked up, he saw a man in a robe sitting in a chair in a thoughtful manner, looking very engaged.

"Uh, hello, are you Kate, the engraver of the famous royal city."

The man was disturbed by the sound and slowly looked up dissatisfied, but when he saw that it was Abel, his expression became interesting.

There was a smack, blasphemer, which Kate had never found so amused, but he had never seen the young man.

What kind of person would have the same blasphemer temperament as Francis?

However, he whispered a scolding at the stone statues around him: "Don't move, or you will scare away important guests." ”

Abel tilted his head in confusion, he thought it was some kind of artist's quirk, but looked at the statues around him, as if it was normal.

Is this guy really the one who handled the Demon Statue? This question put a question mark in Abel's mind, after all, Kate was just a crazy artist in his opinion.

Kate suddenly became active, jumped down from her chair at once, and said loudly: "Hello, young man, I am Kate, thank you for coming. ”

Abel was uncomfortable with this strange enthusiasm, he nodded with a dry smile, and then said, "Is it okay to customize a statue here?" ”

"Of course you can, you just need to pay the corresponding amount."

Abel then took out his wallet, this time he came with preparations, and there would be no more time when he couldn't get the money out of the small store to settle the bill.

"No, no, no", Kate said busily when she saw him, "Here, there is no need for copper smell." ”

Abel said that this is really a strange fellow, maybe artists are like this, Vincent was not also addicted to chasing scarecrows in the first place, he asked:

"What is the corresponding remuneration?"

Kate slowly stepped back, stroked the statue beside her, and said softly: "Everyone is different, sometimes it's just the feather of a white goose, sometimes it's a whole soul. ”

Abel put his hand in his pocket, and he was also interested, he Keith thought it was also quite interesting, this kind of romanticism is Norman style.

He smiled and asked, "Then what kind of pay will I pay?" ”

Kate immediately raised a finger: "Name, just one name." ”

"It doesn't seem like a big deal, but about statues, I've heard you can carve them out of life."

Kate smiled, held up a finger again, and then said slowly, "Then you have to add another surname." ”

Abel found that this person wanted to know who he was, but he couldn't tell him casually, and he was a little entangled for a while.

"What are you hesitating about, young man, you just said it wasn't a big deal."

Abel's appearance made Kate even more sure that this person was not an unknown person, and must have something to do with the Messiah.
