When Arthur walked back to No. 2 Kirk Street from the Shire Police Station, it was already afternoon, but Arthur was in a very good mood at the moment-

The sound of the trumpet attracts people's attention.

From the morning, until now, there was no news from the newsboys at all.

It wasn't just 'The Long Night Lady Salon Murders' that made it to the supplement last night.

'Coaster, Aemond's vengeance by evil spirits' was also featured in the afternoon supplement after Scott's interview this morning.

It was because of Scott's interview that Arthur came back late.

It's definitely not that I want to see the two chefs of White Rose and Red Rose eat their own specialties and come back late.

Let the pair eat the food he made, and that's what Arthur asked Maltz to do.

Not an overstatement.

It is to let the two chefs eat their own specialties.

And there must be nothing left.

A little left, just a slap in the face.

Executed by Scott himself.

By the time Arthur left, the two chefs had already eaten half of their meals, and Scott had asked Maltz for an iron glove - it was clear that the maggot that had jumped into his mouth had left an indelible shadow on the young journalist, and he had to wave his arms vigorously to vent his anger.

In the afternoon, the morning clouds had long since lifted.

The people, who were unaware of what was happening in South Los in the slightest, continued to live at their own pace, the warm sunlight spreading on the ground, drying out the muddy ground and making the newsboys run fast.

Arthur had already run past four newsboys.

Obviously, the newspaper is selling well.

People are not bored with him as a medium.

Or is it......

Today's supplement is just too attractive.

Whether it's the Lady of the Long Night or Coaster, Aemond is a big man in South Los.

These big people, whether they are commoners or middle class, will be in awe.

And with this awe comes a strong sense of curiosity.

"A newspaper!"

Someone on the side of the road beckoned to the newsboy.

The person who bought the newspaper was well-dressed and clean, and the top hat was brand new, and he looked like a middle-class man who had a decent life, otherwise he would not have been able to wander around in the afternoon.

The other party handed over 60 soc, and after taking the ironed newspaper, he quickly flipped through it, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Look, Chermi, I'm going to be more liked by Lady Linda than you are, and you're just relying on some news you read in the newspapers to please Lady Linda, and I'm different—I'm going to take that Mr. Credos's autograph, and wait, I'll find a formal meeting with that Mr. Credos!"

The man's words made Arthur glance at the young middle-class and quicken his pace.

The unspeakable, slightly socially phobic psychic medium returned to Kirk Street almost at a trot.

Of course, you'll have to bypass the food stalls in Eivor.

Call!

Standing at 2 Kirk Street, Arthur let out a sigh of relief.

And when he just opened the courtyard door, there was the sound of the wheels of the carriage running over the road, and he subconsciously looked at it from the corner of his eye.

Edwin stood behind the two-wheeled Hansen carriage, tugging at the reins.

After the carriage came to a steady stop, Edwin, wearing a cowhide coat, jumped down and immediately smiled and greeted Arthur as he saw him standing in the doorway.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Credos."

Then, two large boxes, one large and one small, and a basket were taken out of the carriage.

The basket was still warm, and even if it was covered, Arthur knew that it contained tarts, puff pastry cakes, and cream cakes.

"Thank you, Ms. Mary."

Arthur took the basket and turned up the corners of his mouth.

Who would say no to a delicious sweet tooth?

Diabetes doesn't work!

Edwin, who had a tired face on his face, couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Arthur's smile as he faced the food.

"This is something that the owner asked Mary to work overtime, and Mary's craftsmanship never disappoints – especially the tarts!"

As she spoke, Malinda's coachman handed Arthur the two boxes as well.

"It's what you deserve."

Edwin lowered his voice.

"Thank you, Edwin, and thank you Malinda for keeping your promise...... No, it should have fulfilled the agreement in advance - do you need to come in for a cup of tea? ”

Arthur expressed his appreciation for Malinda for completing the agreement ahead of schedule.

At the same time, some habits in his hometown also made Arthur unable to calmly let an acquaintance who helped him deliver something stand at the door.

"No, Mr. Credos."

"You know, there's so much I need to deal with, can I put it in the hallway for you?"

Edwin apologized and rejected Arthur.

It's not that he shirks, the exhaustion on Edwin's face that can't be hidden, and the residual smell of blood on his body tell Arthur that the matter is not over yet, and the lady is still moving.

However, these have nothing to do with him for the time being.

In this matter, the part that belongs to him is over.

Even if he knew that the lady's actions were the real benefit of this event, he would not have any heart.

It's not that I don't want to

It's not that I don't dare

Yes and no.

In his current situation, he will only die and have no place to be buried!

'Strength! Strength! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, firmly hugged the two boxes, one large and one small, and watched the driver drive away before returning to No. 2 Kirk Street.

When the door closed, Arthur didn't wait to open the box.

It's a light thought—

“Ei a！”

With the appearance of the two [Hands of Nothingness], Arthur immediately retreated to the limit of 6 meters, and then, holding the long sword with two Hands of Nothingness, and then picking open two boxes with the tip of the long sword.

Syllable!

Both boxes were opened.

The large box contained a scroll and two books.

Apparently it was the secret art and mystical side knowledge that Malinda had promised.

And what was in the small box, to Arthur's surprise, turned out to be a pipe, the same long-stick pool pipe as Malinda.

Obviously, Malinda was still thinking about his refusal to share the same pipe.

Of course, the lady remembered that he had a sweet tooth.

"It's so sweet!"

Arthur said these words, and then manipulated the [Hand of Nothingness] to pick up the basket of pastries and put it in the kitchen.

He didn't eat the pastries, but after putting down the basket, he broke each cake a little bit and scattered it in a corner outside the courtyard with the Hand of Nothingness.

According to the memories of the predecessors, there were often rats there.

It's not that he doesn't believe Malinda, it's just that he thinks he should be careful.

Just like next, he still picked up the pipe with the [Void Hand] and rinsed it more than a dozen times, and checked that there were no centipedes, spiders and other poisonous insects hidden in the pipe, and then put it on the desk in the psychic hall.

When he was done with all this, Arthur sat down behind his desk, took out a pair of gloves from the drawer under the desk, put them on neatly, and then, following his initial instincts, raised his hand and picked up the book furthest from him, of the two books and a scroll.

The next moment he looked at it—

[Discovery of Diagram Complex (Basic), Judgment ......]

[Have spirituality, pass the judgment!] 】

[Do you consume 10 XP to learn Graph Complex (Basic)?] 】

……

It turned out to be [Tu Fu Yu]! ’

Looking at the words in front of him, the corners of Arthur's mouth curled.

When he saw the annotation of the Illusory Hand in the Tufu language, Arthur knew that in order to truly understand the mystical side, he had to understand this kind of writing.

Even, Arthur guessed that [Tu Fu Yu] should be the exclusive text of the mysterious side.

Arthur glanced at the earlier hint -

[The murder of the Long Night Lady Salon and the shock of the people of South Los ; XP+20】

[Coaster, Aemond is vengeated by evil spirits, shocking the people of Nanlos; XP+20】

[More people have heard your name; XP+3】

……

The unexpected streak of gains, coupled with the remaining 13 XP points from before, now Arthur has 56 XP points, which can be said to be unprecedentedly rich, under such a premise, what need to hesitate.

But just as Arthur was about to study, he suddenly had a pause.

He frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk.

"Something is wrong! Wrong! ”

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Arthur muttered softly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
