Chapter 61: Demon Worship
At noon, Lewis ordered a meal from a nearby restaurant and had a meal with Blau in the detective agency.
"This is the money that was distributed to you, and the reward for this mission is only eight pounds." Lewis took out four pounds and gave them to Blau in distress, then took back another pound, and said, "This pound is today's food expenses, well, I have no objection to you living here, but I will be compensated for the food and lodging expenses." ”
"No, today's matter was solved perfectly thanks to me. In addition, I am nominally your teacher, and you should help me solve the food and accommodation expenses. Blau snatched the pound from Lewis and stuffed it into his pocket without expression.
"Huh...... Think of it as a reward for this help. Lewis chuckled, the four pounds he had just collected from the kidnapper, and now that they were in the hands of the Calamity Priest, it could be regarded as indirectly saving him the trouble of being divined.
Of course, the average low-order soothsayer has no way to divinate him, but he is afraid of everything.
Going up to the attic, Lewis took the kidnapper's hair out of his pocket and wrote the divination phrase: "The Cause of the Kidnapping."
Through the pure whiteness before him, Lewis fell asleep, and he saw the gangster and several people break into the home of an innocent man on a sunny morning morning and brutally murder the owner of the house.
They painted a special pattern on the ground with the blood of the owner of the house, as if they were performing a sacrificial ceremony, and made special movements around the ceremony.
As the screen turns, a scarred gangster enters from outside the room, his face as if it is blocked by something, and he can't see it clearly.
The moment he entered the room, the gangster seemed to have noticed something, his expression began to become solemn, and he immediately looked out the window.
His gaze glanced over Blau, who was drinking beer, and finally into a shadow in a corner.
Immediately, the gangster snorted coldly and left the house without saying a word, and a pair of brown eyes could be faintly seen in the direction of his vision, but they were not very clear.
When the divination was over, Lewis woke up from his sleep, he pinched the corners of his eyes, and for a moment, the fear of killing the "Blood Worshippers" came back to his mind.
"This morning, the gangster who couldn't see my face clearly found me, and even though I hid it with supernatural powers, he found me at a glance." Lewis couldn't help but think wildly, judging from the current situation, the gangster who was the leader should be an extraordinary person, and the extraordinary strength was likely to surpass him, and he had about the ability of Sequence Seven.
"Hopefully he didn't see my face clearly."
Lewis went downstairs, and he gave Blau the hair in a few soles of notes, and said in a deep voice, "With the four pounds from before, this should be enough money for you to buy a formal suit, change your dirty suit, and find a maid to wash it." ”
While that hair would allow Lewis to sooth the situation of the gangsters, it could also allow other transcendents to sooth himself.
After some careful consideration, he felt that it was safer to pass from Blau's hands, after all, the other party's personality was relatively high.
"I didn't expect you to be so generous." Blau took the note and carried it in his pocket.
Lewis smiled indifferently and reminded: "I will go to the Bar of the Brave in the evening to ask about the party, and I will also go to meet an acquaintance at night, and I don't want to be accompanied by a gentleman covered in sourness." ”
"Okay." Blau agreed.
Lewis boiled some hot water to make tea, and Blau left the detective agency to look at the style and price of the suit at a tailor's shop less than 50 meters from the agency.
When he entered the tailor's shop, he took the money out of his pocket, threw away a hair from the banknote, and said, "I want a suit that fits me, and the budget is about ...... Belch...... One or two pounds or so. ”
"If you're only two pounds, I'd suggest you buy a coarse linen coat, that would be cheap." The old tailor with a rickety back glanced at Blau and said sarcastically.
……
Lewis enjoyed a rare leisure time while sipping tea, although today's case involves extraordinary events, but it is not complicated to deal with.
"If only everything could be so easy, including finding extraordinary materials." Lewis saw the postman pass by, and he took the day's copy of the Beckland Daily from his mailbox and went back to the office to read it.
"The villain Barry died in the revenge of the gangsters because of a dancing girl at the center of Eros? It makes sense, the transcendents of the party are still very capable, and I shouldn't doubt their abilities. Lewis nodded, and he suddenly felt that his money had not been spent in vain.
While Lewis was still basking in joy, Blau pushed open the door of the detective agency, followed by an angry old man.
The old man hunched over his back, and held a thick, large wooden stick in his hand, with which he occasionally poked Blau.
"Lewis, can you lend me 10 pounds?" Blau took off his top hat and looked ugly.
"What do you want so much money for?" Lewis asked with a surprised look at Blau.
"I was a little unlucky just now, I accidentally broke a few clothes in the tailor's shop." Blau said pitifully.
"There were more than a few, he broke my masterpiece, it was my first work after becoming a tailor, it was very memorable!" The rickety old tailor stabbed Blau again with a thick stick, and his voice was a little high-pitched.
Lewis reluctantly gave the old tailor 10 pounds, and when the tailor was gone, he said to Blau: "You will pay me back later." ”
He never imagined that a member of the Sequence Six, Life School would be so poor that he couldn't even afford to pay 10 pounds.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the transcendents of the Destiny Path are quite poor, and a certain Sequence 5 Destiny School traitor actually has only one magical item on his body. A sequence five mixed up with this, it's still quite sad to think about it.
"No problem." Blau readily agreed.
Thinking about it, Lewis began to worry about his future, he was also fateful, and when he was promoted to Sequence Six or Sequence Five, he would never be mixed up to the level of Blau, right?
Dignified sequence six, he was chased and beaten by the owner of the tailor shop because of 10 pounds, which is simply a shame for the face of the transcendent!
"If only you understood." Lewis reprimanded Blau, then made him a cup of black tea, and the two drank tea and sat in front of the coffee table to bask in the sun.
Toward the end of the evening, the old tailor brought in a suit, and Lewis changed into a gray-blue worker's uniform and took Blau to the Bar of the Brave.
