Chapter 171: Deliberation

"Mr. Hangman, I've found Barron in the Eastside, and somehow got the information you need.

Barron came to Beckland from Byam in the Rorsted Islands to take over the business of the dead human trafficker Kapin, and to continue kidnapping and capturing homeless and poor people in the East Side for certain people, and sending them out of Beckland to unknown buyers. Most of them were taken overseas, but there were also some special ones that remained near Beckland, supposedly to the northwest, beside the Tasok River.

"At interrogation, a Sequence 6 'judge' came to his rescue, but failed, and according to my psychic knowledge of him, they were employed by several mysterious people wearing gold masks, among whom there were even demigods of the 'Arbiter' path, and these traits overlapped with the military and royal family of the Kingdom of Rune, but lacked further clues.

"In the middle of the fight, I killed Barron and the 'judge', and it is likely that I have aroused the vigilance of these people, and if you do not object, I will report the matter to the official Extraordinaire of Beckland as soon as possible.

"Please reply as soon as possible."

The next morning, before Angel woke up from her sleep, she "received" a message from the Hanged Man, also from Mr. Fool, which appeared directly in her mind.

"Thank you, Miss Queen, I didn't expect to have results so soon."

The hooded, cloaked in a cloak, first complimented, and then quickly got into the subject.

"The information you got is useful, I'll be paying £500 as promised, but I'll have to wait a few days, I'm still at sea, or I can use it to offset the 'liaison fee' for crafting magical items, which is also £500."

I choose cash......

Angel thought silently and continued to look at the upside-down man in the gray mist, she knew that the upside-down man could not interact, but was just a fragment of the other side praying to Mr. Fool.

"I have no objection to the report, and it is necessary to stop this illegal and cruel human trafficking. But I warn you that this matter can be very wide-ranging, and as you said, it is likely that there is a member of the military and even a member of the royal family standing behind Rune, so be careful not to expose yourself. ”

The gray fog cleared, and Angel saw the ceiling of her bedroom.

"Mr. Hanged Man should be somewhere in the Sunia Sea, with a time difference of several hours from Beckland, otherwise he wouldn't have replied to me so early...... It can't be that Mr. Fool woke up at this time to relay my report to him......"

Angel made an irreverent joke in her head, quickly got up to wash, made a simple breakfast, stuffed bacon and fried eggs into her stomach, and flipped through the newspaper with one hand to see if there was anything worth paying attention to.

Mr. A's rally never happened again...... I haven't been to that villa yet, has it been ransacked, or has the whole house been razed to the ground? Mr. Isenger Stanton's party has not been held for a long time, and it should have something to do with the fact that he is being watched by the mechanical heart, but isn't the Apostle of Desire dead? The rest was the party that Miss Audrey had taken me to, the one in medical school, but I didn't know the contact information, so I had to ask her for a chance......

She flipped through the newspaper, glanced quickly at the news, and stopped as she swept over a brief report.

"The fire in the Eastern District affected several old-fashioned houses, and the casualties are unknown?"

Grabbing a map of Beckland, Angel researched it to find the location of the fire, and found that it was the same house where she had interrogated Barron and Psychic Heras last night.

It seems that the forces behind them, those golden masks move quickly...... Sure enough, yesterday's psychic touched the "Secret" used by someone, allowing them to discover that Heras was in an abnormal state, and quickly rushed to the scene to destroy the corpse......

If it drags on for too long, the other party is likely to have dealt with everything in Barron and Heras, and even done a good job of anti-divination, so that the official extraordinary person will return in vain, but it will be too reckless, and it will expose its own information, be retaliated against, and even implicate other people, as the hanged man said......

After a moment's thought, Angel decided to consult with the people she trusted the most before deciding what to do.

As soon as the mercenary carriage pulled into the streets of Minsk, Angel spotted a black two-wheeled carriage parked in front of Sherlock Moriarty's house, with the twin swords of the police system surrounding the crown emblem.

"Sorry, I misremembered, one street ahead, turn right."

She said to the coachman unhurriedly, watching the scenery outside the window move back and the police carriage disappear from her field of vision, and then she got out of the car, paid the fare, and walked back slowly.

After watching from afar as Ikanse, the deacon of the "Heart of the Machine", got into the car and directed the two-wheeled carriage to leave Minsk Street in a circle, Angel walked to the door of Sherlock's house, just in time to see the latter preparing to close.

Seeing Angel coming, he raised his eyebrows in some surprise, made a gesture of "please come in", and made a place at the door.

"I just saw the deacon of the 'Mechanical Heart' coming to you, is it because of the 'Apostle of Desire'?"

After settling down on her own sofa, Angel looked at Sherlock, who was busy pouring coffee, and asked with a smile.

"That's right, he's here to wrap things up, not only by offering us a big bonus for our help in tracking down the Apostle of Desire, but also by inviting me to join the ranks of the 'Machine Heart' informants, like Issinger Stanton, who said that a lot of private investigators have done this since this incident."

Sherlock poured two cups of coffee and placed them on the coffee table, and sat down on the couch opposite Angel, replying.

"We? Does he know that you have a connection with me? ”

"Maybe it was Isenger who mentioned it, or maybe he himself, well, misunderstood our relationship, anyway, he asked me to pass on your share to you, we have a total of 1,300 pounds, and 800 pounds belong to you, maybe because you managed to block the other party's attack at Issinger's house, and even wounded him, so you got more portions."

Speaking of "misunderstanding", the corners of Sherlock's mouth twitched.

But even if we had met, Ikanse probably wouldn't have given the 800 pounds to anyone else so easily, unless he could confirm that the money would be in my hands, such as divining using that strange silver mirror, Arodes...... By the way, if the Heart of Machines uses Arodes to divinate us, will the "Hidden Emblem" be able to successfully counter, or will the "Arodes" be able to successfully peep?

A few strange thoughts crossed Angel's mind.

"I don't need this money for the time being, how are your 'Faceling' potion materials prepared? If you need money urgently, use it first. ”

Her current Sequence 6 potion has not yet been digested, and the recipe for Sequence 5 has no clues, except for the need to find a craftsman friend of the hanged man to make magical items, there is no urgent need for money.

"I already know the recipe for the potion, and the two potion materials should be available soon, one of which was provided by the vampire I rescued from the Church of Mother Earth God before, and the other one may have to wait for a member of the party to help me find ......" Sherlock waved his hand, indicating that he was not short of money, "In addition, I found an extraordinary person who had worked with her before to sell the gold bars on my behalf, maybe I can get the money within this week, and we should be able to get about 2,800 pounds after deducting the commission given to her." ”

2800…… Half of a person, that's 1,400 pounds, plus 800 pounds of money to help track down the apostles of desire, and I'm rich again......

Angel thought to herself, and suddenly reacted:

"She?"
