Chapter 77 Come to an end

With his sleeves rolled up, Richard skillfully scraped off the scales and decapitated a large fish that had just been caught, took out the internal organs, and cleaned the inner cavity.Wrap it in a large sheet of tin foil, and then bake it on a sunken stone platform poured with special sauce and spicy soup, and put a variety of vegetables and food supplements on the side.

In a short while, the fish was grilled until it was half-cooked. The pungent aroma radiated from the small backyard of the poorhouse, and everyone without exception was aroused by this unprecedented southern continent-style delicacy.Even Garland De, who was indifferent and paralyzed, was caught by the delicious grilled fish, staring intently at the boiling red soup and the pink and white fish, his eyes were glued to the grilled fish, and his mouth was still Organized the language firmly: "Chief, this, it's not Chinese New Year yet..."

"It's November now, at my house, everyone gathers together to eat grilled fish in winter."

"Ah... (Swallowing saliva) Do the cities along the coast of Feysac have such a tradition? This flavor doesn't seem to be..."

"A lot of spices and peppers are used for seasoning. This is the style of the southern continent, the traditional flavor of the area from the Pass River Valley to the Star Heights." Richard scooped up a spoonful of soup with a large iron spoon and poured it on the surface of the fish, barking The sound and the bursting aroma make people lose their minds. "Because it is close to the inland, everyone basically eats river fish. This kind of sea fish can only be eaten a few times a year. This is adjusted according to my taste. You can Try it."

"Isn't the leader a Feysac?" A child tiptoed to lie on the stone platform, but was burned by the hot stone, and blew wildly at his fingers, "You are very tall!"

"I'm from the Southern Continent." Richard, who is 192 meters tall, smiled and held the child's armpits with both hands, and lifted him up high. "So everyone should eat well, and you can grow as tall as me in the future!"

The children who had been secretly watching behind the adults suddenly cheered and gathered around Richard, chirping and clamoring for Richard to hold them high and circle around.A few other children took the opportunity to squeeze to the edge of the stone platform, secretly dipped their long chopsticks in a little soup and sucked them deliciously, and then the teachers took away the chopsticks and sent them to be cleaned. Shoulder, teach a few words sternly.

Richard was also happy to play with the children. After a while, the fish was cooked, and everyone quickly lined up to share the fish with rice.Garland shared a piece for himself, then leaned over to Richard, handed him a cup of Southern Continent-style herbal milk tea, and asked the question he had wanted to know for a long time: "Boss, what is the purpose of coming to the sea this time? "

"There is indeed something."

Richard took the milk tea, took a sip, and began to heat water in it: "I was entrusted by someone to investigate some things at sea."

"Do you need me to arrange an informant?"

"If you need it, I'll trouble you." Richard tasted the sweetness of the milk tea, "It's best to be able to contact the captain's intelligence broker, because I'm going to sea, but I don't need to be too strong, I don't want to deal with four kings and seven generals. "

"Here... Chief, if you want to go to sea, why don't you contact Her Majesty the Queen. As long as you ask, Her Majesty will definitely be willing to lend you the Black Tulip and Ludwell temporarily."

"I don't want to bother him." Richard shook his head, "He will take this opportunity to ask me for a discount, and the client probably doesn't want to announce it."

The discount is the main reason!Garland Tactical leaned back a bit, seeing his leader's meticulous planning for decades, he was also very relieved and helpless: "I understand, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Richard hummed, didn't say anything, and looked at the scene in the backyard with ecstasy: the aroma of delicious grilled fish was wafting, and the children were holding their own small bowls, which contained fish and brown rice. is happy.The adults sat and talked in twos and threes, laughing from time to time.It was near dusk, the evening wind was quiet, and the leaves were rustling.This picture is as beautiful as a dream, which makes people want to be intoxicated and never wake up again.

"...help me pack a bowl of rice, Garland." Richard said softly, returning a sorry smile, "I seem to be a little hungry too."

Above the gray fog, Klein, who has cleared all mystical connections, is using divination to confirm Daisy's follow-up safety.

"Daisy made it home safely."

He held the pendulum in his left hand, closed his eyes and recited the sentence silently.

After seven times, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant turning counterclockwise, but the range was extremely small and the speed was very slow.This means that there are still some twists and turns in Daisy's journey home, but they are almost negligible... After reading the revelation, Klein let go of his last worries.

He then closed his eyes and leaned back to relax.Tonight's operation was full of accidents, but at any rate it ended smoothly, and the next thing to do is to wait for Maria to deliver the reward.The intervention of the Aurora Society, Maria's spying, and the giant monster's claw that mysteriously appeared at the end, some things got together in a mess, and occasionally contradicted themselves.

If Mr. A and Maria are hostile, what is the purpose of Maria taking Mr. A away in the end?There is currently no answer to this, and we can only rely on Mr. A's follow-up status to judge.

If Maria and Mr. A are collaborators, then the act of attacking Capin can be understood as an act of gangsters and gangsters involved by a cult, which is the easiest answer to get.The point is, maybe you don’t need your own help in this case. Mr. A sneaked into the restaurant alone and showed enough ability to kill Heras solo. With Maria who was ambushing in the outer circle, the two of them have a high probability of killing Kaping’s men. If you catch them all, there is no need to hire a strange detective to help, and it will cost you hundreds of pounds.

Leaving aside the entanglement between Maria and Mr. A, the last claw that can directly cause damage to oneself is also very problematic.

It appeared after Mary prayed, and praying at the fire scene is a very abnormal thing, and it is very likely that it is calling and reporting something.But if this claw and Maria, the monster who hasn't appeared behind her, were summoned, then she might not even need Mr. A.

The intricate clues are intertwined, and no matter what Klein thinks, it is the result of self-contradictory, so he just doesn't think about it.Anyway, Sherlock Moriarty only accepted a commission to investigate Capin's mansion. Why should he care about those messy things in the East End? What's more, the ghost of the "Dark Emperor" participated in the battle, which has nothing to do with Sherlock!

Just wait for Maria's generous reward!

So, Klein turned to pay attention to other details.

"Parker is a Sequence 8 'Magistrate', and Katie is a Sequence 7 'Interrogator'... Isn't this the 'Arbitrator' path? This path is in the hands of the royal family, the military, and a small number of ancient noble families in Loen." However, they strictly control the disclosure of formulas and extraordinary materials...Could it be that among the girls kidnapped by Kapin, some of them will be sent to some nobleman's manor?
"But they don't need to send four Extraordinary people to help Kapin for the sake of enjoyment. This is obviously not equal... Heras is much stronger than Katie. Maybe it's Sequence 6 of this path. After wearing that glove, It may even reach Sequence 5... Could it be that some bloody and evil sacrifices were involved, and the target of the request cannot be exposed?
"In addition to the kingdom, the Castilla family of Feneporte also has this extraordinary channel, and it has been passed on to their army and intelligence system... Is it another espionage case involving something?"

Klein tried to divine a few guesses of his own, and got a failed result again.He temporarily put this matter behind him, and instead tapped on the edge of the long bronze table, he said to himself silently:
"As long as there is a formula and corresponding auxiliary materials, these two Extraordinary characteristics can make a person become a 'sheriff' in Sequence 8 and an 'interrogator' in Sequence 7... Miss 'Magician', that friend named Hugh, It seems that the extraordinary material of 'sheriff' is missing...

"It's a pity that the incident happened suddenly. I didn't have time to collect the loot, and I didn't leave the tarot cards like Lanwusi did at that time... I don't know what's going on now, huh, but if I was a little greedy and didn't leave immediately, I will definitely be caught by that claw... It can actually directly injure the spirit body, if the remaining negative effects are not eliminated by the gray mist, the owner of that claw may come to find me directly..."

"I don't know what the Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 of the 'Arbitrator' path are called respectively. Using the sense of order and law...'Judge'?"

Klein withdrew his thoughts, half closed his eyes, and carefully examined his own state.He once again had the feeling that his spirit became lively, the potion was being pried, and his digestion was speeding up.This time, he believed intuitively that he had summed up most of the "magician's rules", and some of the remaining details were better.

Embodying a round-bellied pen and parchment, Klein wrote as if strengthening his memory: "The magician's rules:
"1. Don't do unprepared performances;
"2. The challenge is impossible, even if the final result is only false;"

Klein believes that the above are the two core cores of the "Magician's Rules". If you grasp them, you will grasp the key points, and the remaining ones are the complements and perfections of them.

"3. Do more active performances;
"4. Try to get the applause of the audience;
"5. Hold the target's attention."

……

Putting down the dark red round belly pen, Klein browsed through it from beginning to end, and judged himself: "The combination of daily acting and three to four active 'performances' is enough for me to digest the 'magician' before the new year." Potion. If there is another impossible 'performance' in the middle, the progress can be made a little faster... This is almost the speed I hope to achieve."

今天刚好是11月1日，一个新的开始。距离1350年的1月1日，还有两个月的样子。

After doing all this, Klein rubbed his forehead, ready to return to the real world.In the cheap hotel in the Backlund Bridge area, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the candlelight that he summoned for his ceremony.

After quickly finishing the work, Klein put on the thick worker's jacket he had just bought for 4 soli, and walked to the window.He picked up the sweet iced tea he bought earlier, looked at his blurred figure reflected on the window, smiled sincerely, and whispered to himself:
"cheers."

As soon as he finished speaking, he touched the glass with the cup in his hand, then lifted his chin and drank it in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, he left the hotel leisurely. The nearby gas street lamps were already fully lit, and the pedestrians and carriages were busy.Klein wandered around the "Brave Man" bar, lingered for a while, and at 7:58, he knocked on the door of the Extraordinary party of old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".

He put on the iron mask, put on the hooded robe, and acted ordinary, ordinary.

East District, in the best single ward of Charity Hospital.

Mr. A woke up slowly, looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, his memory gradually came back, and then he was so angry that he passed out again.

Maria, who was sitting next to her peeling apples, was taken aback. She subconsciously wanted to call Dr. Blake, who had just been rescued and was in a trance. Pay close attention to Mr. A.

Ten minutes later, Mr. A woke up again, and before he could recall what had happened, Maria shouted, "You're awake!"

"..." Mr. A still remembered some unbearable memories, and asked her in pain, "How is the situation? How long have I been in a coma?"

"The children have been rescued." Maria breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "You are seriously injured, but you have only been in a coma for more than two hours."

Mr. A's facial features were twisted together, and Maria who was watching could feel his current confusion and complicated mood, so she decided not to ask what happened in the villa for the time being.But she was not familiar with Mr. A, and it was the first time they worked together. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the two of them had nothing to say.

At this time, a person came to visit Mr. A.

Mr. Z came outside the ward with a fruit basket and cake with a meaningful and even happy smile. He still had a Band-Aid on the bridge of his nose, and he seemed to be limping when he walked.He knocked on the half-closed door of the ward, and said hello with a strong face and grief: "Mr. A, I heard that you almost died in an accident during the mission, so I hurried to see you in a carriage!"

Maria: ...

When Mr. Z walked to the hospital bed and was about to speak, Mr. A suddenly spoke first: "Which foot did you step through the door first?"

Mr. Z was taken aback: "Left foot?"

"I don't talk to people who go in with their left foot first, get out!"

Mr. Z was happy, put down the cake and fruit basket, turned around and walked out, then raised his right foot and entered the door under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, and came to Mr. A's hospital bed again. He was about to speak, but was caught by A again The husband interrupted the speech first: "The one you greeted me just now was also left-handed!"

Maria:......

"You (cult swearing) deliberately find fault, don't you?"

"You and I are envoys of the Aurora Society, can you deliberately find fault with you?"

"Tell me if you're finding fault on purpose!" Mr. Z then raised his right hand and greeted him again, "Are you satisfied?!"

Mr. A frowned: "Are you breathing? The sound of your breathing is too loud, which affects my rest, go out!"

Maria was really starting to have trouble breathing.She hurriedly stopped the two great smart envoys from continuing to quarrel, called Mr. Z to sit down, and then quickly changed the subject: "You got the news so soon?"

"No, it's Bishop Qiangwei's special communication method."

Mr. Z replied kindly: "I was fine before, but suddenly a piece of flesh on my arm began to fall off, and then it became the word "help".I'm currently renting near the East District, and I was still wondering who was calling for help, when I heard an explosion from the direction of the East District, and then an earthquake. "

"I knew that Mr. A accepted your entrustment to help, but it turned out that it was really him, so I hurried over."

"Are you here to visit me?!" Mr. A's face was grim and his facial features were distorted. "You obviously came to see my joke! You came to laugh at me!"

"Why are you slandering people's innocence out of thin air?" Mr. Z retorted. After seeing Maria's kind eyes, he quickly returned to his usual think-tank personality, and returned to the topic logically, "Also, when I came here, I found that The location of Kapin’s mansion in the East District has been sealed off. I went to check the situation, but the guards and the punishment-for-punishers were very strict. I heard that the mansion was completely destroyed, so I realized that something was wrong.”

"A, do you have anything to say about this mission?"

Mr. A closed his eyes, his face was ugly.After a long silence, he slowly let out a breath: "... Judging from the results of the entrustment, I did not get the road map of Kapin's mansion, and I was not the one who destroyed the mansion and killed Kapin. From the perspective of the process, I Due to misjudgment and ignoring unknown personnel, I almost died and exposed the involvement of Aurora. In summary, my mission failed and I made a fatal mistake.”

"Your injury was huge, and fortunately, the result is not a failure. You have been injured like this, and you can't deduct your merits unkindly." Mr. Z said very seriously and calmly, "So I am still number one this month."

Mr. A was about to be moved, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't catch up, and was stunned on the spot.
