Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 30 Formally Joining the Team
At [-] o'clock in the evening, all members of the Blackthorn Security Company arrived at the Old Ville Restaurant. Except for Frye who stayed behind to take turns at Chanis Gate, the six night watchmen, five civilian staff, and Esther, who was half-staffed, all gathered here.

When Klein walked in, his feet were vacant, his eyes were lax, and he sat tremblingly on the chair. This appearance made Leonard cover his mouth and snicker to Esther: "You looked better than Klein at that time. , but it’s scary to be so hungry that it looks like it’s going to eat people.”

Esther glared at Leonard, not wanting to talk to him.

Dunn picked up the red wine in front of him, and the others did the same, but what Dunn prepared for Esther was non-alcoholic ginger beer, which made Rosanna laugh at Esther for a while.

Esther has no objection, she doesn't care that much about what she drinks, anyway, this world doesn't have her favorite kvass.

Maybe she could try doing it herself?The idea made Esther ready to move.

Seeing that everyone raised their glasses, Dunn raised his arms towards Klein: "Let us welcome the new official member, Klein Moretti, cheers!"

Klein stood up tremblingly again, with amber champagne in his glass, and thanked everyone one by one.The atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed. After Dunn and Sika had a head start, everyone chatted while eating, and the topic also deliberately avoided work.

Esther was cutting the medium-rare steak, happily feeling the slightly fishy and soft inner core, the sausage was roasted just right, and honey was spread on it, the mixed taste of salty and sweet was rich and satisfying, giving the hot Mashed potatoes are poured with gravy, and spoonful after spoonful is delivered to the mouth.

On the other side, Klein's behavior was completely opposite. His face turned pale and he didn't touch many things, which made Leonard lean over.

"Too tired, no appetite, can't eat?"

"Yes." Klein sighed.

So Leonard cheerfully proposed to help with the food, and Klein agreed. In the end, most of the dinner in front of him was divided up by other people, and Esther gave Klein a sympathetic look—although she also He forked two pieces of bacon and rolled them onto his own plate.

When it was time for dessert, Esther also ordered an ice cream, poured with strawberry sauce, sweet and slightly sour, very delicious.

When everyone was about to finish eating, Klein's voice sounded: "Captain, can I have another dinner?"

Hearing this request, everyone was silent at first, and then laughed softly. Dunn smiled and ordered another dinner for Klein.

The joyful dinner came to an end, and everyone seemed very relaxed when they went out, except for Klein. Although his legs didn't tremble anymore, his walking posture was particularly stiff.

"This is not the worst, the soreness will be severe tomorrow." Esther gestured to Klein and said, "Especially for people who have not exercised vigorously for a long time, their muscles will be tense after exercising. You used to be a college student If so, I probably didn’t do any special exercise.”

"Ah, I really didn't exercise much before. Esther, have you participated in combat training before?"

"Yes, but when I met Teacher Gao Wen, my physical fitness has already increased." Esther smiled very proudly.

Klein made no secret of his envy, even a little bit of jealousy: "That's great. Seers don't add any physical strength, and it's too tiring to train."

"Sleepless, okay?" Leonard interjected.

Esther glanced at him: "You are the only one who rolled down the stairs."

Immediately, everyone was more or less amused, and Rosanna laughed the most exaggeratedly, half of her lying on Esther's shoulder.This made Leonard yell in dissatisfaction: "Can't we not mention this!?"

Esther raised her face seriously: "Who hasn't had a time when they were young and did stupid things? Don't worry, I will never forget it in this life."

Leonard gritted his teeth and stared at her: "Forget about it!"

Esther quickly turned around and changed the subject abruptly: "By the way, Klein, if you plan to go to that trading market again, can you call me?"

Klein was taken aback, then nodded: "That's right, it's not safe for you to go alone, that 'monster' Ademisor seems to be entangled with you."

In fact, Esther asked someone to accompany her to reassure Dunn. If she went alone to that kind of place where wild Extraordinary people were mixed, and someone else reported it to the Nighthawk team afterwards, it might make Dunn more anxious.

Leonard looked at the two of them curiously: "Let me tell you, Esther, you haven't learned how to make potions or ritual magic, have you? What did you go to those places for?"

"Shopping." Esther replied frankly.

"Nonsense, of course I know that the purpose of going to the underground trading market is to buy something!"

Esther looked at Leonard helplessly: "I just want to go shopping. Last time I was delayed due to some accidents, and I didn't take a good look at the products inside."

Klein nodded at the side: "She was entangled by that Ademisor, so she didn't go shopping at the vendors much, and has been waiting for us in the corner."

"So that's the case? I thought..." Leonard scratched the back of his head, and then muttered a few times in a low voice, without further questioning.

-

But Esther didn't expect that Klein would call on her the next day.

"Isn't today your rest day? Why are you here at the company?"

Klein and Esther came out of Dunn's office together. Esther just got Dunn's nod, allowing her to go to the trading market of "Dragon Bar" with Klein. Dunn told her not to talk too much with others. Get in touch and avoid trouble.

Klein closed the door of Dunn's office, and walked up the stairs with Esther: "I divination a person, so I took the portrait to the club where I practiced divination and asked, he may have clues related to the notebook , so I came to report to the captain. This person was not mentioned in the previous investigation report, but in my dream divination, he was closely related to that notebook, and he was involved in the sale of the notebook.”

"It sounds like a very cunning character," Esther frowned. "There was no trace left in the actual investigation, which shows that he hid himself very well. Could he also be a Extraordinary?"

Klein nodded in agreement: "It's not ruled out, so we have to stay vigilant."

"'Always be vigilant'! I think anyone who is a Extraordinary should remember this aphorism."

Klein laughed a few times, and he recognized the source of Esther's words, a certain magical children's literature that is popular all over the world.

After saying goodbye to Bright, who was on duty at the front desk today, the two went outside to take a public carriage, and followed the address they remembered to the Dragon Bar in the dock area.

Because it was still in the afternoon, and today was not Sunday, the bar seemed a lot quieter than the noisy scene last time.The bartender lazily leaned behind the counter and wiped the glasses. Only two tables of guests were drinking, throwing cards on the table from time to time, laughing and cursing each other to pass the time.

When Klein and Esther were about to enter the billiard room leading to the underground trading market, a burly old man came out.He was almost half taller than Esther, wearing an old navy officer's coat, smelling strongly of alcohol, and his short brown hair was messed up like straw and obviously not combed well.

However, his limbs are strong, his muscles are thick, his eyes are sharp and resolute, and his movements reveal a sense of resoluteness. It seems that the navy officer's coat belongs to him.

The old man's blue eyes scanned Esther and Klein: "Are you the friends that Old Neil brought last time?"

Klein immediately took off his hat and saluted. It was much more appropriate for him, an official member of the Nighthawks, to come forward for the communication, than Esther: "Yes, I don't know what to call you?"

"Old Neil should have mentioned me to you. I am the boss here, Swain."

Klein nodded: "Yes, he mentioned it."

"Ha, what he said to you will not be good. If you are short of money temporarily, you can come to me." Swain said with a smile, ready to walk to the bar.

"Esther, wait for me at the door first." Klein caught up with Swain and stopped the bar owner. He even slightly lowered his communication voice, obviously not wanting Esther to hear Too much content.

This made Esther curl her lips, but she still waited obediently by the door as Klein said.She even stretched her head to watch the farce at the wine table game next to her. Someone was caught cheating just now, and she was scolding her friends.

Esther silently learned a few swear words.

He came over after Klein's "whisper" was over, but Esther also heard a few words from the bar owner, Swain, and knew that Klein was the suspect he couldn't account for before the investigation. people.It's not that Esther eavesdropped on purpose, it's because Swain's voice is loud enough that he can hear it quite clearly in the bar's not so lively environment today.

After passing through several rooms, the two entered the underground trading market here again. However, there were not many stalls and customers at this time. Apparently, many people were busy with other things during the day, and there was no rush hour.

Ademisor is still squatting in the same position as last time. Under his buttocks is a half-meter-high wooden plank that is used by a vendor for displaying things. It is like a bench. Half of it came out, like a space left for others.

As if aware that someone was looking at him, Ademisor raised his head, and when he met Klein's eyes, Ademisor's face turned pale instantly, and he covered his eyes in horror, but Immediately afterwards, Ademisor put down his hand again, looked at Esther excitedly, and gestured at her to the open space beside him.

"He... seems to let you go over? I won't go over and hurt his eyes. When he saw me, he changed his face just like seeing a monster in the world." Klein smiled wryly and spread his hands towards Esther.

Without even thinking about it, Esther took out a stack of oiled paper from her close-fitting interlayer pocket and handed it to Klein: "Then please help me see if there is any material on it. By the way, money To you too."

Klein took the fifteen gold pounds from Esther, and was shocked by the generosity of the fellow. However, he also noticed Esther's face full of pain, so he suppressed a smile and put the money away.

Esther's expression was depressed: "That's all my private money, I'm afraid it's not enough... I often hear Mr. Neil complain that Extraordinary materials are so expensive."

"You really don't have to go and see for yourself?"

"No, I'm very relieved to leave it to you!" Esther said, walking towards Ademisor who kept waving at her, leaving Klein standing there helplessly.

Klein touched the oiled paper in his hand. It looked like a scrap of paper used to pack something, and it was a little crumpled. He opened the scrap of paper to see what materials the fellow villagers wanted to buy, but he didn't want to see a piece of paper directly. A complete potion recipe:

"Nine Monsters
Main materials: 30 grams of twisted star stone fragments, a pair of fangs of Badhar Rattlesnake
