Aaron was in a good mood, and there was good news from Halsey that he had found a willing trader.
Of course, for more detailed information, we need to go to the Black Queen District tonight to discuss it in detail.
This kind of high-level transaction, even if there is a reliable middleman, is normal for several transactions.
The morning sun was shining through the window, and there were no customers in the bar.
Obviously, Aaron's plan to transform the daytime bar into a profitable coffee shop failed shamefully...
William, who had been wiping the table, raised his head absentmindedly.
Last night... Isabette was absent from work.
This is simply an incredible thing.
'Isabette has been in a very strange state recently... she often feels trance-like. Is it because of me?'
'But, I clearly feel that she has a crush on me. Is it an illusion?'
'But you won't give up this job just for this, right?'
William was very worried that this was not the style of downtown residents.
'Perhaps... Isabette is suddenly injured or seriously ill, and I have to go and see her... Huh? Isabette hasn't told me what number she lives on Mary Street...'
William glanced at Aaron, who was leisurely reading the newspaper, and came to the bar.
Not long after, he came to Aaron carrying a tray filled with snacks and fruits: "Boss... would you like another cup of coffee?"
"oh?"
Aaron glanced at William with a mocking smile: "Don't you always regard divination as a hard lesson? Who are you trying to divine by being so active today? Isabette? By the way, she didn't come last night
,should I fire her?”
"Boss... Isabette told me that she was sick and wanted to take leave. I forgot to tell you last night."
In desperation, William began to learn to lie, but seeing Aaron's joking eyes, his voice became lower and lower.
"Oh……"
Aaron was not interested in these romantic affairs, but he did care about Isabette's sudden absence from work.
After all, this may represent the investigation and impending danger after the last baron arson case!
"Why don't you go make some coffee?"
After teasing William enough, he finally spoke.
"OK."
William immediately retreated and made a cup of cappuccino taught by Aaron. The latte art on it was perfect. It was obvious that his skills had been honed.
Aaron slowly sipped his coffee while flipping through the newspaper.
"Another large shop was looted... In response to the recent chaos in Pulmouth, 'Momola Field' decided to deploy additional police patrols... 'Magician' had a great time."
"According to Langley Tannis, Copperfield's bounty has increased again, and he also brought good news that the 'Professor' will soon complete his recuperation and return to Pulmouth..."
…
Aaron drank slowly on purpose, making William next to him feel that time passed very long.
Finally, William heard Aaron's voice: "You can interpret it, but you'd better be mentally prepared..."
William's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped forward with a slightly messy pace, staring at the pattern on the coffee plate, which was a crooked line, twisted like a snake!
"The snake shape... in the symbol of coffee divination, represents death... However, it also means healing, right, boss?"
William's eyes looked at Aaron with expectation and longing.
"I am very satisfied with your progress that you can interpret this level... But I'm sorry, this is the meaning of the first level. I used Isabette as the subject for divination and came to the conclusion that she is dead!"
Aaron was a little surprised and could only sigh: "Everything in the world is unpredictable..."
"Boss, what on earth is going on?" William's eyes suddenly became bloodshot and became moist.
For him, Isabette was a living colleague and romantic partner just a few days ago, and he really couldn't accept the fact that she died suddenly!
"I really want to do some divination again...it may be that the force that persecuted you last time has returned and is taking revenge."
Aaron's expression became more serious and he took out a gold pound coin.
With a clang, the coin was thrown into the air and ended up tails up, which represented denial!
"It doesn't seem to be aimed at us..."
Aaron's expression became a little strange: "That's for Isabette herself! It's so common for a random person to go missing in Pulmouth...Downtown. Even if a report is made, Momora Field may not take it seriously.
Go find it.”
"No!"
William reached out and covered his mouth: "Isabeth...is your divination wrong?"
"hehe……"
Aaron sneered and continued to divine regardless of William's various collapses.
After a moment, his expression became slightly solemn: "Isabeth's death... is related to religious places!"
"Religious place?!" William repeated this sentence, and the look in his eyes gradually became firm.
Seeing this, Aaron could only sigh silently.
…
night.
Halsey's Moving Castle.
The living room on the third floor.
Aaron wore a silver mask and walked into the room with Halsey.
In the room, there is already a mysterious person waiting.
He wore a dark green robe and a thick bronze mask, only revealing a pair of brown eyes.
Occasionally, a sound like crawling insects came from under his robe.
As soon as he saw him, Aaron frowned. He felt as if he had seen "Insect's Nest" Roberts, but it was a bit different.
"Let me introduce...this is Mr. Cocoon Man from the Araki no Sect!"
Halsey smiled and said: "He brought a piece of 'chrysalis' legacy."
"Good evening, Mr. Cocoon Man. I am Green, a 'craftsman'..."
Aaron raised his hand to say hello, but his heart became more vigilant.
The Araki no Sect is not simple. He had heard of this name in the spiritual world thousands of years ago.
‘This sect used to worship Si Ming Cocoon, but now it may believe in Si Sui’s ‘Remnant Cocoon’ or ‘The Lady of the Forest’…’
'Cocoon Man' glanced at Aaron with his brown eyes, sat back on the sofa, stretched out a dry palm from under his black robe, pushed out a box, and asked in a hoarse voice: "The thing you want is here, can it be
What compensation is offered?”
"I want to see the materials first..."
Aaron replied calmly: "If it satisfies me, gold pounds, inhuman magical items, ancient knowledge, etc. are all fine..."
Halsey looked at Aaron in surprise, not expecting that this craftsman was indeed willing to bleed a lot.
"very good."
On the arm of the 'Cocoon Man', a black insect slowly climbed out from under the robe and opened the box with its tentacles.
Inside the box, there is a white cocoon-shaped object, which seems to have strands of light flowing on top of the smooth silk.
‘Cocoon Man’ introduced: “It comes from a transformed priest of our sect, and is his legacy…”
