Chapter 6: The Past of the Two

"You came here in the middle of the night to grab this manuscript, and you actually brought your young lady, are you playing some kind of trickery?"

Angel asked in confusion when he saw that Dominic was no longer rushing at her, and lowered his gun hand.

While in the port of Enmat, the self-proclaimed "righteous" Sonia was acquiring the extraordinary material for the "Fortune Teller's" potion, and two months later, she was likely to be a soothsayer now, and she knew that this sequence of divination had a variety of methods and could perform all kinds of ritual magic, but had no frontal combat ability.

Even when she first became an assassin, she knew not to take such a teammate with her for dangerous operations, if it weren't for the drag of this little soothsayer, with Dominic's skills, even if she couldn't beat her, it would be no problem to escape.

"You shouldn't live in the East End, here, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous to leave her alone at home."

Dominic's face was back to normal when Angel put the gun down, and when he heard her question, he glanced at Sonya, who was squeezed against the wall, before replying.

"I asked him to bring my ......"

The long-haired brown head poked out of his cloak and retorted softly.

"But you can't protect her twenty-four hours a day," Angel retracted the gun holster, but still stood by Sonya's side, preventing Dominic from escaping or continuing the attack, "What now, they should all see your face." ”

She wanted to follow this thief named Gaoli to see if this "boss" was just trying to get the documents back, or if she had other plans for the house she rented, but she didn't expect to enter the room stealthily and see Dominic fighting, and even the boss and his little brother were all knocked down, but now it is even more tricky.

If Gori or the "boss" has a better memory, he is likely to draw a portrait of Dominic based on his impressions after waking up, find them, and take revenge.

"It's okay, it's much harder to find someone in the East End than it is to find money."

Unexpectedly, this impulsive "provocateur" just glanced at the three people who fell to the ground, shook his head, and did not mention the matter of killing people and killing people.

Is it because Sonia is on the side?

Angel secretly guessed.

Of course, the East End, as the bottom of the entire Beckland, has a large population and great mobility, and it is almost impossible to find people with a single portrait. However, some necessary anti-divination methods still have to be done, in case there is really an official extraordinary, once the divination is carried out, not only Dominic, but even Sonya, who has not been seen, has nothing to hide.

She mobilized her spirituality and summoned a few black flames that fluttered around the room, using the power of the flames and the curse to cut off the occult connection between several people and avoid being tracked by divination and other means.

Seeing the black flames, Dominic's eyes froze, as if she was about to attack at any time, while Sonia kept her eyes wide and watched Angel's movements until the black flames slowly dissipated, as if relieved, and the whole person relaxed.

"Let's go, go to your hiding place, and we'll discuss what to do with this 'manuscript'."

Angel took one last look at the three people who had fallen to the ground and said to Dominic.

Since he said that the manuscript of the "third-generation difference machine" was purchased at a high price, then Angel is not going to let go of this extra income, he needs money for his promotion, and he needs money even more to live in Beckland, and it is always good to have more income.

"Heh, how could I take you ......"

Dominic's skillful provocation came as soon as he opened his mouth, but after Angel raised the document bag in his hand, he quickly swallowed it back into his stomach after glancing at Sonia beside him, and obediently led the way in front.

Look, this is the consequence of taking people who are not fighting into battle......

Angel sneered, followed by the "provocateur" with Sonya, and left the three-story building.

Sonia knew where she stood and walked beside Angel, not making a sound, just wrapping herself tightly in her cloak.

The three of them walked through several streets and alleys to a building that resembled an arch structure, flanked by four-story buildings with a passage across the street, connecting the buildings on both sides of the street.

Dominic took Angel up to the third floor of one of the buildings, took out the key to open the door, stood by the door, and made a "please" gesture.

Looking at the gloomy room, Angel felt a slight coolness from the magic mirror on her body, and remembered the skill of the "hunter" path, chuckled, and reached out to press Sonya's shoulder next to her.

Dominic, who intended to be recognized, had a gloomy face, and walked into the door first, pressing a few times behind the door frame before turning around.

"Come in, the trap is lifted."

The three of them entered the house, and Dominic turned on the gas lamp in the room, letting the warm light fill the living room, and then took off his cloak and threw it on the chair with a back on the side.

"Sonia, you go to the room to rest and recover your spirit, okay?"

The last sentence he asked was addressed to Angel.

Looking around, Angel, who saw that there was only one front door in this two-bedroom apartment, and there was no other way, nodded, and put down the hand that was pressing Sonya's shoulder.

The young lady gave Dominic a worried look before slowly entering the inner bedroom and closing the door.

"Sit down, let's have a good talk, as you can see, there is no tea or coffee to entertain you here."

Seeing Sonia return to the room, Dominic sat down on his cloak and put his hands on the table, indicating that he would not make any secret moves.

"First of all, tell me how you came to Bakeland, and live in such a place," Angel unceremoniously sat down on the chair opposite him, placing the file bag on the table, but holding it down with his hand, "Could it be that the fact that she became a soothsayer was discovered by the official extraordinary?" ”

"You know?" Dominic had a look of surprise on his face, followed by a sudden moment, "Looks like you know what extraordinary materials the soothsayer potion needs...... But we didn't flee the port of Emmat because of this, but because of ......"

"Sonya's father, Hansen Claude, was an import-export merchant who operated mostly between Rune and the colonies, so he had settled in Port Enmat for more than ten years."

"Shortly after I sold you the extraordinary properties of the 'Instigator,' Mr. Hansen's business strategy became aggressive and risky, much to the displeasure of many of his business associates and the strain of his financial chain. Sonia was a little curious and worried about what had happened to her father, and she commissioned me to investigate. ”

"I secretly checked Mr. Hansen's books, and found that many of them did not reconcile, up to a few thousand pounds, and checked some of his business associates, and even those close to him, and found that he was influenced by a young man whom he had newly acquainted, and regarded him as a think tank, and his words as golden rules, and had no opinion of his own."

"Instigator?"

Angel interjected, and Dominic's description of it felt familiar to her.

"Yes, instigator," the "provocateur" sighed lightly, "Of course, I immediately thought of reporting the crime and looking for the official extraordinary, but myself, Sonia is also extraordinary, and it is difficult to hide it, so I want to solve the problem myself, and even go along the way to get back Mr. Hansen's loss......"

Hearing this, Angel had already guessed the subsequent development, but out of politeness, did not interrupt his narration.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I should have listened to you at the time, don't get into trouble with the Witch Sect, they killed Mr. Hansen and Mrs. Steven, and I did everything I could to get her out, and I sailed south overnight to Pritz Harbor, and then took the steam train to Beckland. ”

"How can you be sure it's the Witch Sect? As far as I know, they are not the only ones with the low-order potions of the 'Assassin' path. ”

Hearing that the other party was so sure, Angel asked suspiciously.

"It had to be them, that woman was frost and black flame, and there was a means to trap others, Mr. Hansen's bodyguard, a 'martial artist', who died at her hands in one face. Heh, if I hadn't known that you had nothing to do with them, I couldn't help but want to do it when I saw you using Black Flame just now. ”

I really had a relationship with them before, and maybe there will be a ...... in the future However, the abilities he said should belong to the "Witch of Pleasure", which must be someone from the "Witch Sect", and it is likely to be the "mentor" in charge of the port of Enmat, and it is not surprising that he can easily kill a "martial artist" of Sequence 8.

Unexpectedly, the "Witch Sect" did a lot of bad things in Nmatt Port, and I don't know if they were wanted by the official extraordinary, whether they were caught or killed.

Angel thought to herself, not noticing that she had returned to the way of thinking of the night watchman, and she quickly interrupted her divergent thoughts and returned to Dominic in front of her.

"I was going to take Sonia to her uncle who was in business in Beckland, but that unlucky guy was involved in a criminal case and is still in prison, and his two sons are in debt and are busy saving their father, so they can't help us at all."

"So you're hiding in the East Side, hiding from the 'Witch Sect'?"

"That's it, as you say," Dominic smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "we've been in the East End for a month, and with her, I don't dare to do anything too dangerous, I can only do some simple commissions, and her divination skills can help somewhat, and if it weren't for the money to go to sea and go to Byam in the Rorsted Islands, I wouldn't have thought of grabbing this manuscript." ”

There are still many doubts about things...... How did he escape from the "Witch of Pleasure" with a sequence 8 and people with him? Why has it been in the Eastern District for so long that it has not been found by the witch sect that knows divination? And why did they go to Byam?

Angel has more questions in her mind, if it is an interrogation, she will inevitably put out questions one by one and let the other party answer them one by one, but at this time it is just a kind of communication and negotiation, and if you dig deeper, the other party may not answer.

So she decided to return to the most important issue - this "difference machine" design manuscript.

"How did you know that this manuscript would be in that building? And how are you going to sell it? ”

Hearing the question, Dominic looked towards Sonya's room.

"You forgot? I have a soothsayer here, and after she collected the relevant reports and information, she divined that this manuscript would appear there in the middle of the night today, and we went over to wait, but I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect that in addition to the manuscript, there was me?"

"Ahemβ€”yes."

I carry a "magic pocket watch", which interferes with divination, and the "Hidden Emblem" is immune to divination snooping below the demigod...... Sonia, a Sequence 9 soothsayer, didn't find out that I was excusable......

Angel thought to herself.

"As for how the manuscript is to be sold, it involves a secret meeting held on a regular basis, where someone openly solicits clues about the manuscript, and any valid leads are rewarded, and if he can get the manuscript, he is even more willing to pay 2,000 pounds for it."

"2,000 pounds?"

Angel asked rhetorically, with a hint of trill.
