After the maid he met in the morning opened the door, Klein handed the cane in his hand to her. After waiting for a while, he followed into the carefully decorated living room and saw Mrs. Summer who had been waiting here for a long time.
Today, this lady was wearing a dark green long skirt with a round neck. The delicate fabric was wrapped around her tall figure, only exposing a small part of her collarbone and white neck.
"Good afternoon, madam, I am honored to receive your invitation." Klein leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his mature face.
After he came down from the gray fog just now, he specially took off his human skin mask in the bathroom, washed his face, and waited until the muscles on his face completely returned to normal before he stepped to Mingming, which was not far away from his house.
14 Sker Street.
Seeing Klein's serious look, Mrs. Summer, who was holding a silver-inlaid palace feather fan in her hand, covered her chin and smiled, then responded:
"Actually, you don't have to do this. Your badge tells me that you will become a popular neighbor."
In the guest suite, the two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. Strangely, there were no snacks or tea that should be seen for afternoon tea.
Seeing Klein's cryptic gaze, Mrs. Summer smiled implicitly and explained:
"There is another guest today, and my husband will be back soon."
"Haha, he has just been promoted. Even though today is Monday, he can still take time to get to know the neighbors."
"I think you'll like his enthusiasm. Luke has always loved making friends."
I have already felt your enthusiasm... Klein suppressed his gentle smile and nodded.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. There was the first knock on the door, and Mrs. Summer waved her hand. The maid next to her immediately understood and went to take out the afternoon tea that had been prepared.
, and the other went to welcome the man home.
A burst of moderately heavy footsteps came. Luke, the male owner of the house, handed the coat to the maid and said hello to Klein with a smile:
"I presume you are Mr. Moriarty?"
"Yes." Klein was kind and gently shook his hand.
After doing all this, the man, who still looked a little tired even though he had only worked for half a day, turned his head again and said to his wife in a raised tone:
"My dear, you will never guess what a coincidence today is."
"As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw our other guest, Mr. Evans, also coming back. He was right behind me."
As he spoke, he turned his body to the side.
Coincidence... Under Klein's curious eyes, a familiar figure walked out from behind the decorative cabinet on the porch.
He was wearing the iconic maroon coat, with black-rimmed glasses on his cheeks that still retained a youthful look, and his dark red eyes showed a strong bookishness.
Dunn, who was pretending to be Louis Evans, looked into the room and his eyes fell on Klein, who looked as usual, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
He walked familiarly across the distance in front of the living room and reached the sofa. In front of Luke, who was trying to liven up the atmosphere, he said with a smile:
"It seems that today is indeed a lucky day. I didn't expect you to be the new neighbor that Luke mentioned."
No, if I am lucky to a certain extent, I will consider whether to arrange it... Although he does not agree with the views of the gentleman in front of him who has had a relationship with him once, Klein still nodded, the same
Smiled:
"I think that's true. At that time, I was still regretting that we couldn't introduce each other to each other. Today, I actually have the opportunity to make up for our regrets."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Mrs. Summer, who was sitting next to her and gently holding a feather fan, was a little confused. She asked curiously:
"So Mr. Moriarty knew Mr. Evans before?"
The reason why she and Luke arranged to invite Mr. Evans, who had a good relationship with their family, when they invited their new neighbor was because they heard that the new resident was a highly educated detective, and they wanted to use another detective to break the gap between them.
estrangement and distance.
But they didn't expect that the two of them knew each other from the beginning.
But it seemed like they had just met before, not friends... Luke, who was better at this kind of scene than his wife, smiled and nodded, looking forward to the two's answers.
"No, we just met by chance in the library before and talked about some issues." Dunn, who was more familiar with the Summer family, sipped the coffee on the table and said softly.
He glanced at Mr. Moriarty's hand again, and it turned out that it still didn't match the traces of time on his face.
At the same time, Klein, who had completely digested the "Joker" potion, also discovered the other party's little move.
The two of them adjusted their gazes in unison, their gazes intertwined, and then they looked away in tacit agreement, pretending that nothing happened.
"Yes, I think the two of us should have this common experience, so we can have a very interesting conversation." Klein followed what Dunn just said and looked at Mrs. Summer with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Oh, is that right? It seems you are also a detective?" Mrs. Summer asked with a pretended surprised expression when she saw that she finally had a chance to speak.
Luke, who had been smiling all the time, also took the opportunity to add:
"Louis is an expert in criminal investigation, and employers who have hired him have given him very high praise."
In Minsk Street, it is no secret that Detective Evans, who just moved here not long ago, saved the life of Mr. Babbage who was targeted by gangsters. The old gentleman's heir actually came to thank Dunn in person.
Klein, who was already preparing to go back and learn about the detective Louis Evans through Ian, looked at the coffee on the table and finally gave up the idea of drinking.
"Actually, I also studied criminal investigation in Lundborg, but I still haven't found my future direction after returning, so I chose to be a detective."
"Sherlock, have you studied in Lemberg?" Unknowingly, Luke had changed his name, with a hint of enthusiasm in his tone.
He has always longed for Lundberg's social atmosphere of worshiping wise men, and always wondered if this kind of environment that promoted knowledge exploration was transplanted to Backlund, whether it would help his company to reach a higher level.
Coim Company can stand firm in the Atmospheric Management Committee because they not only appeal, but also update and iterate various related products to find ways to reduce air pollution without affecting production.
Klein took a polite sip of coffee and smiled lightly when he saw that the other party took the bait.
"I studied for several years, but I only came back after getting a master's degree."
"In this aspect, there is still a big gap between me and my classmates."
............
The darkness above the head is still deep, and thick lightning flashes across the sky frequently from time to time, illuminating the gloomy streets.
Carrying a simple long sword on his back, Derrick walked heavily on the streets of Silver City, his eyes wandering.
Elder Lovia may be a follower of Roholid, the demigod who serves the "God of Mystery", but she is also a "shepherd". According to Mr. "World", the general "Secret Prayer"
A "human" extraordinary person will become a fanatical believer of the true Creator in Sequence Eight. So who does Elder Lovia believe in now?
Since statues and murals of the true Creator can be found in nearby abandoned temples, it is impossible for him to think that the god cannot exert influence on the Silver City.
And the one who discovered the abandoned temple was Elder Lovia...
Suddenly, Derrick, who had grown to nearly 1.9 meters tall, stopped and looked at his destination in front of him - the patrol camp. He took a deep breath and took off the Silencer's sword from his back.
Went into the camp.
There are several Sequence Six and Sequence Five Extraordinaries gathered here, most of them are "Guardians" and "Dawn Knights", and they are all senior Extraordinaries who also serve as patrol team captains.
In the dim light of the fire, Derrick used the faint light of the campfire next to him to make some identification and walked towards the west side of the camp.
There stood a heavily armored knight nearly two and a half meters tall, holding a huge iron hammer in his hand. Several lower Silver City members stood closely in front of him and gathered around him.
Martin Reeves, a "Guardian" in his forties, is the captain of the patrol team to which Derrick is assigned.
Huh... After today's patrol, I will exchange the potion materials I need. I must be promoted quickly and complete the deal with Mr. "World".
He exhaled and walked towards his team with his sword in hand.
Martin and Derrick, who were lazily chewing some plant roots, nodded and wiped away one of the two remaining marks under their feet with their feet.
They will set off when the time is right or when the team is complete.
Dang Dang Dang!
Suddenly, in the center of the camp, a large dilapidated bell supported by a monster skeleton rang with a muffled sound. Several teams gathered in the camp turned their attention to the center.
Next to the dilapidated clock, the shadows under the upright torches surged strangely. Lovia, with majestic features and silver-gray curly hair reaching her waist, slowly walked out. A pair of light gray eyes swept across her face and she spoke in a calm tone:
"Urgent mission, I need to dispatch two teams to explore the abandoned temple now."
After hearing this, Derrick, who was among his teammates, suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back and his hands and feet were cold.
He is not ready yet, he has not been promoted yet, and he has to go deep into a ruins that involves at least a demigod and at most a true god?
In a panic, he immediately wanted to recite the name of Mr. "Fool" on the spot.
"Hurry up and prepare. The vacant patrol team will be filled by a temporary team." Amid the noise, a voice full of vicissitudes of life came from another entrance to the camp. Colin's face was profound, and the traces of time were carved on his face like a knife.
Iliad walked slowly, carrying two straight swords behind him.
This is the chief of Silver City, the most powerful existence!
His appearance caused many Silver City soldiers who were still hesitating to immediately accept the order and mobilize.
Derrick, who had already retreated to the outside of the crowd and was about to ask Mr. Fool for help, put down his hands and felt a sense of peace in his heart for no apparent reason.
I don't know since when, as long as the chief is here, the residents of Silver City can always remain calm, even if there is unknown darkness ahead, they have nothing to fear.
