There are several unique winch seats placed in the spacious store, covered with soft red velvet.
After sitting down, time seems to slow down. Surrounded by meticulous decorative details and antique clocks, people seem to be inexplicably wrapped in the tranquility and warmth from the past.
In this quiet environment, steam and punk blend together, and time seems to stand still.
But the next second.
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening.
A slightly angry mature female voice sounded from a location not far from the clock hall where they were:
"Little Famir, if I give you another chance, what should you call me?"
"Sister Rendell."
Upon hearing this abyss, she immediately changed her voice to a flattering one.
But he still had his ears pulled and tortured.
Immediately afterwards.
Lendl explained why he came in through the back door:
"The antique collector next door died and was found dead in the living room of his home.
So those brainless American police inspectors insisted on calling me over for interrogation.
It’s like I value his antiques.”
Hear her say that.
Famir finally moved his eyes away from the steam newspaper, and he was a little surprised:
"He actually died.
But haven’t you always wanted to see the antique ether timer from the Fourth Age that he bought at a high price?”
"I heard from people at the police station that all those things were taken away."
Rendell is tall and tall in a dark red coat. Judging from her appearance and the way she speaks, she is indeed a neat and tidy person.
Perhaps it was the Lost Sea that created them.
Su Wen thought silently in his heart.
He looked at this
But suddenly I found that there was an extra column in my system prompts:
[Check to C-level optional hidden tasks]
[Task Name (First Ring): Investigate the ‘Cause of Death’ of Antique Collector Simon Colin]
Optional tasks?
Su Wen's first reaction when he saw this prompt was a little confused.
After all, the trigger point of a hidden mission usually appears only when the key person in future events has a direct relationship with you.
As the lead player who has participated in many world missions.
Su Wen thought calmly:
"The word "branch line" is missing. Perhaps, this is the prompt that time travel gave me."
Before everything happens.
The actions of future observers can change a lot of things.
But is the death of this collector really just a coincidence?
Su Wen, who has acted many times as a detective, maintained corresponding rational judgment.
even.
He already has an idea.
That was the plan he had started to advance since he noticed the hint from Ireland, including the micro-drone following the suspicious person in the Wiltings.
In a steampunk world, the super nano-drone swarm driven by the high-latitude Dawn system network may also be a technological breakthrough that transcends the times.
But he was cautious and did not even choose to let the drone group return. Instead, he directly self-destructed after uploading the information.
certainly.
This is just an insignificant part.
Su Wen is a scholar.
But he also doesn't mind using the artist's form of expression to let all 'performances' bloom at their most appropriate moment.
so.
He is not in a hurry.
Instead, he waited for Lendl and Famiel to finish chatting before asking as if to mention it later:
"How long did it take for the antique collector next door to die?"
"I heard from the police forensic doctor that it happened late last night.
Who knows the specific time, in this world full of dangers, even the gods may not be able to hear the prayers of believers."
Rendell still remembers his grandfather telling stories about his ancestors.
Those old-fashioned nobles, knights, and beliefs are really a headache,
"If there really is a god, it's probably some kind of deep-sea monster that those madmen from the Tide Sect believe in."
Hear this sentence.
Jiang Menghan also became more cautious.
Although the disaster of the first cyclone Ivanni has not been proven to be related to cultists.
However, the excavation of deep-sea ruins in the Asia-Pacific region has indeed discovered certain conspiracies of cultists.
To the sociopathic lunatics who wanted to kill her father.
It was impossible for the iceberg girl to have any positive emotions. She asked in a cold voice:
“Is the Tide Sect still operating in the ‘Starfall Transport’ port?”
"That's not true. The American Federation believes in evangelical denominations.
Those missionaries all read gospels with their left hand and right hand. Starfall Port is a key trading city, and they cannot allow those pagans to move around at will."
Rendell also sounds unfavorable to evangelicals.
After all, I don’t know how many generations of my ancestors were inexplicably ‘drifted’ from the barons of Europe to become survivors in this rotten place.
But no evangelical God came to save us.
Passed down from generation to generation, most people don't have a good impression of those magicians.
The mature watch shop owner crossed his left leg over his right leg, lit a female cigarette skillfully, and then asked Jiang Menghan:
"I heard from little Famil that you have a watch that needs repair. Take it out and show it to me."
Hear her say that.
Jiang Menghan was not too defensive.
She communicated with Su Wen in the team voice.
Rendell is obviously much more credible than the group of official "white gloves" of the US federal government at the Fifth Dockyard in the Jupiter Islands.
Naturally, he took out the pocket watch that was broken while fighting the polluters on the Jupiter Islands from his handbag.
As origin Italy.
Spending nearly 30,000 US dollars in Gdansk, Su Wen brought Jiang Menghan a birthday gift.
Its appearance shows the delicacy and complexity of European classical style.
The edge is made of gold-plated fine brass. The light golden luster sparkles under the light, like a bright star.
From every detail of the shell, you can see the careful carvings of the craftsmen. Patterns and carvings are on the shell, outlining retro and elegant flowers, vines and reliefs.
The cover of the pocket watch is inlaid with a piece of magnificent turquoise blue glass, but it is now covered with cracks and lines, making it impossible to see clearly the complex but delicately rotating gear and balance wheel structure inside.
Lendl's eyes became more serious when he got the pocket watch:
"It is indeed a gift worth cherishing. It would be a pity if it got broken.
Miss Snown-Alwes.
Just feel free to leave it to me.
By the way, if you also need rune enchanting work, the charges will be completely different."
Secret Sea's [Sublimation Lineage: Rune Clockmaker] is actually a great blessing for her, an extremely rare [Mirror Star-Artemis] sublimator.
Unfortunately.
Su Wen has not yet acquired the knowledge of the corresponding pedigree and cannot be mapped to the corresponding travel deck.
While they were repairing their pocket watches.
He put on his coat coolly and turned to leave:
"I still have some things to do, see you later."
Watching him leave.
Lendl just took a drag of his cigarette lazily and said:
"This guy is quite handsome."
But he didn't care what he was going to do.
Open the door of the watch shop.
Su Wen followed the map given by Nelson and walked along the foggy coastline.
It's daytime on the Lost Sea.
The lighthouse on the high island has not yet lit up.
