Chapter 40 Black Fish Poison

“The commission we received is Protect a businessman from Bonham City and act as a bodyguard. I have investigated in detail, there should be some secrets behind this businessman, and the extraordinary organization behind me also has a mission about him, so I will follow.”

On a steam rail train.

Elise whispered to Romon about the commission.

“So how long do we need to protect?” Romon asked.

Elise extend the hand means: “For a month, we need to live in each other’s manor, and each person is paid two pounds a day.”

Sixty pounds a month, Food and lodging.

It seems pretty good…

This is already an extremely high income!

Bang.

Bang.

When the steam train is running, it will make a sound like the collision of tracks.

and vents on both sides.

A large amount of mist will be sprayed out, and it is easy to condense on the glass windows, casting a thick layer of white mist.

Passers-by all wrapped up their coats and walked in a hurry.

Street hawking was heard one after another.

The street floor is also not dry.

Countless steam engines are running every day, and the massive white mist sprayed out is melted into the air of the city.

Wooden is a city of steam.

It’s been a month since I came to the city.

The two chatted in a low voice and left the East District with the movement of the train.

There are six districts in Fogtown.

Industrial, Docklands, and East, West, North, and South.

This is the main area of Fogtown.

Among them, the dock area is the largest, where fish and dragons are mixed in together.

In addition to these districts, there are also many manor houses on the outskirts of Wudun, where the wealthy live.

Just hire servants, cooks, stewards, bodyguards, etc.

The monthly cost will be hundreds or even hundreds of pounds, as well as the daily maintenance of the manor, etc. These expenses are astronomical for the ordinary person.

The goal of hiring Elise this time.

That’s it.

The other party is a businessman who escaped from Burnham.

Because of the war on the front line, it gradually affected Bonham.

Many rich people are leaving in secret.

Seek advantage and avoid disadvantage.

It is human nature.

“Hello, Mr. Ernest.”

The main hall of the manor.

The golden candelabra chandelier hangs from the ceiling, burning white candle after candle.

On the left and right walls.

There are several exquisite oil paintings hanging.

Nearby are elegant antiques.

The walls are all golden pink.

The floor is covered with a high pile carpet.

Romon has only seen such luxurious decorations in TV series and movies.

In front of Elise.

The owner of the manor, Mr. Ernest Carter, is a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his brows and eyes. He is dressed in very formal clothes and warmly received Elise and Romon.

After he asked the servant next to him to serve three cups of tea, he said with a smile: “Miss detective, many thanks, you can accept my entrustment.

The next one May, the security of the manor needs your help.

I still have family members in Bonham, and I didn’t come here.

Although this manor is secluded, there may be wanderers in normal times. Han thieves, so I need you to help the manor set up some simple anti-theft facilities.

And keep me and my family safe for this month.”

Elise is a listed detective .

She has a business license and has no dark history in the past, so she received this task.

And.

This time, she is not the only detective.

There are other professionals.

Just a few words.

Romon and Elise arrive at their home in the manor.

The whole estate is not small.

In addition to the main building, there are many other annex buildings.

Romon and Elise lived in an annex building behind the garden of the manor, which made people feel a little emotional that even the annex building was more luxurious than the room they rented…

Really, big dog!

The task of the two is to help defend the manor for a month, and they do not need to follow Mr. Ernest’s side all the time.

Besides him, there should be stronger bodyguards.

“Okay, so the entrusted work we accept is to hang out in the manor every day, watering, stepping on the lawn, etc.?”

In the room.

Romon feels a little weird.

Elise was very calm: “Although this kind of commission is not much, it is not a lot. Generally, rich people would rather spend more money and ask for peace.

Nothing happened. Of course it’s free.

But if something goes wrong, we’ll be responsible.”

Romon nods.

He immediately unwrapped the package behind him and began to take out the bottles and jars inside.

Elise looked at this scene, and said with a strange expression: “In the past few days, you won’t be studying these things?”

She naturally saw it.

In these bottles and jars, some are poisons, and some are things she can’t distinguish.

This guy.

It seems that after going to buy poison, he took a strange path.

“It’s just a personal hobby.”

Romon said resolutely.

Elise ignored this and said, “There should be a party later, and Ernest will let us hired bodyguards get to know each other.”

” I’m going?”

“It’s better to go, so that when the time comes you don’t know other people, and there are misunderstandings and conflicts.”

Elise said.

 …

In the afternoon, Mr. Ernest threw a small party.

There are ten bodyguards in total.

Some are detectives, some are members of professional security companies.

Romon always thinks that Mr. Ernest is not simple, a normal businessman, why does he need so many bodyguards?

Count the servants, grooms, cooks, stewards in the manor.

There are dozens of people in the entire manor, which is almost the pomp of a small noble.

The doubts in Romon’s mind were only fleeting.

What he is more concerned about now is the development of his own abilities.

After awakening the ability, you still need to study it yourself, and the ability can also evolve.

Romon’s [Pharmacological Proficiency] seems to be able to continuously improve as long as he has relevant pharmacological knowledge.

The next five days.

Romon never left Mr. Ernest’s estate.

“Finally, the research is done.”

Romon looked at the small bottle of ash-gray powder in his hand.

This is a poison that he researched by himself. First, it will not volatilize immediately, and it can have an effect on awakened.

Romon has tried it on himself.

His psionic energy is also extremely strong, but he cannot resist the erosion of this poison.

Naturally, he only dared to test this poison after he had researched the antidote first.

“This poison can make people weak to a certain extent, and the material is made of black fish essential oil, so it is called black fish poison.”

Romon secretly said in one’s heart .

His physique is already very strong after learning fitness, plus he can take the antidote in advance.

So in actual combat, this black fish poison will be his trump card.

Just at this time.

There was a knock on the door and Elise’s voice came: “Something happened.”
