After seeing Valera enter the Cragg Club, Crane couldn't sit still.

Although he believes, believes very much...... But, what if?

After a brief hesitation, he drew the curtains again with his hands and feet, raised the "spiritual wall", and then, through the "summoning ritual", summoned himself and responded to himself, bringing the gold coin left by Valera to the gray mist—

The coin was originally stored in a box attached to the other end of the pocket watch bracelet.

Sitting in the Fool's high-backed chair, Crane tapped on the bronze table, revealing a tawny parchment and a round-bellied pen, and wrote the divination statement:

"The position of the previous holder on this coin."

Although the coin passed through the hands of the cashier at the inn in Tingen, half a night should not be enough time to establish a sufficient occult connection between the two.

As for whether his own long-term holding will weaken the connection between the gold and Valeera?

Answer: Yes.

Therefore, Crane was not very sure about his upcoming divination, but was prompted by the subtle feeling in his heart to try his best.

He silently recited the divination phrase, leaned back in his chair, and in the gray dream world, he saw Valera and her maid with long brown hair playing tennis on the slightly yellowed lawn.

Whew, luckily, she's playing tennis with the women, not poker with the men...... It seems that this is a regular club of comprehensive entertainment, and it is all to blame for that Doragu, who has led me astray!

Crane awoke from his dream, a relieved and self-deprecating smile on his lips.

He spreads out of spirituality, envelops himself, and easily simulates the feeling of falling downward, returning to reality.

……

Tea time, 15 Minsk Street.

Through the landlady, Starlene Summer, Crane takes the initiative to meet with her friend, Mrs. Mary, the employer she has entrusted with the female.

After taking his seat, he didn't say much to each other, and directly began to report the results of the morning's investigation.

Of course, there is selectivity.

"Lady Mary, after following up, I found out that your husband went to the Kragg Club, because I am not a member of theirs, so I can't enter, but as far as I can see, half an hour after your husband left, only a young lady came out, her name is Erica Taylor, who lives at 126 New Year Road in the Hilston District, and has worked for a period of time in the Caurium Company, and is still unemployed, I have taken a picture of her leaving the Kragg Club."

"Unemployed, still living in Hilston......" Starling sneered.

After hearing this, Mary's expression became significantly more gloomy.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke:

"You've got to get tangible evidence of their intimacy, huh...... It's the Cragg Club, right? I will find two members to introduce you to the club, but your information must be filled in "well-known detective", and if no one takes you in, it is very likely that you will not be able to get it in time."

"Okay." Crane hesitated, but asked the exit, "Who pays the dues?"

"I'll be responsible for the initial dues as a thank you for your efficiency, and then if you wish to stay with the club, you'll be responsible for the annual fee, which is about £15." There was a fire burning in Mary's eyes.

The annual fee is £15, and the initial membership fee is at least £50...... High-end clubs...... Lady Mary was so gracious...... Well, wouldn't you be able to meet Valera there? Crane suppressed his flying reverie and nodded in response:

"I'll give you the evidence as soon as I can."

……

When the two ladies, Mary and Starlene, left, Crane was left in a state of idleness again.

In addition to going to Valeera, the only way he can get in touch with the circle of the Extraordinary is Caspars of the "Bar of the Brave", the former he does not want to find, and the bar where the latter is located is obviously not active until the evening.

For Valeera, the "ex" girlfriend - refers to the "former" girlfriend, not the breakup

's "ex-girlfriend", Crane's feelings are actually quite complicated.

He looked forward to, and at the same time resisted having a face-to-face relationship with her.

Plus my self-esteem as a man who is self-reliant and self-reliant...... Crane decided to wait until he had completely resolved the crisis and was able to survive on his own, even if he had some capital, before considering meeting with Valeera, although it might be difficult and could take a long time.

After allowing his thoughts to wander freely for a while, Crane sat up straight on the couch, put down the newspaper in his hand, and once again considered how to respond to the possible threat of attack.

After the previous night's act of death, Crane now has an extra hole card - the spell he named "Filthy Words".

Generally speaking, with his own strength, coupled with this charm, he can basically deal with most extraordinary threats;

However, considering that the attacker is likely to be Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 of the "Fortune Teller" path, and considering the high-level suppression of the same path, the current configuration is likely to be a little worse......

Alas.

Crane sighed, feeling that he had better find another passable bodyguard to be safe.

……

After dinner, Crane went out again and continued to the "Brave Bar" in the Beckland Bridge area.

This is to show his panic and helplessness in front of the special military departments and the secret police, as if he wants to try any way to save himself; The second is also to deceive the ambassador's subordinate "soothsayer" in the middle of the path, trying his best to gain even a slight advantage for himself.

In the dark of darkness, he walked into the bar and found Caspars, only to be answered by shaking his head - no one took over, no party.

Caspers didn't have the bodyguard he wanted.

Crane was disappointed with such a result, but he was not unprepared.

In fact, Caspass, an ordinary person who is just a black dealer in weapons, was already a little surprised that he could provide these existing channels, and he really couldn't ask for more.

Crane decides to go to the Grey Mist again tonight to do indirect divination on his own safety, and if he determines that it will be dangerous to have no helper to deal with the attack, then he will go to Valeera!

When life safety and men's dignity are put together, it is obviously the former that is more important.

After returning to his lodgings, Crane did not rush to climb the gray fog, but pretended that he had nothing to do, reading the newspaper, reading books, and doing hygiene...... It seems that he is simply using trivial things to distract himself.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that he put down what he was doing, went to the bathroom on the second floor to clean himself, entered the bedroom, drew the curtains, and reasonably avoided possible surveillance.

In the process, he heard an illusory cascading cry of suplication, and vaguely recognized it as coming from the lady.

He had previously analyzed it and believed that it was likely that Miss Justice was reporting on the progress of the commission to assassinate the Ambassador.

After confirming that there were no spiritual points of light around, Crane expertly manipulated and landed on the gray mist.

Sure enough, he saw that the crimson star, a symbol of justice, was expanding and contracting, and reverberating with a prayer.
