Because the distance between St. Gutenberg's Cathedral and Lime Street is not far, the carriage stopped at the door of the office less than ten minutes after getting on the bus. After getting off the car, Saifei walked in front and walked up.
There was a knock on the door of the office, and soon the door opened. The person who opened the door for them was Fatina, who was wearing home clothes.
"Ha, Saphiel, you're back." Fatina greeted with a smile after seeing Saphiel walking in front, and then she saw Lawrence following behind. "Lawrence is back too?"
"Yes, I will definitely come back after the competition." Lawrence said, hanging his coat on the hanger, and then they walked together to the reception room and tea room on the first floor.
"Can you tell me what happened to you in this competition?" After making two cups of green tea, Seifer held his face in his hands and looked at Lawrence and asked, "Yesterday I went to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral to inquire.
Then the young priest named Peter told me that you stole the show in the competition this time."
"Peter is my friend, so he must be bragging a little bit when talking about me." Lawrence took a sip of the slightly bitter tea and said with a smile. "Of course, there are indeed some thrills in this competition.
.For example, a certain kobold leader and the remnant soul of the giant dragon behind him created a conspiracy that was beyond everyone's expectations——"
For the next half hour, the three of them shared the story of this adventure over slightly bitter tea and a plate of freshly baked butter cookies. Although during the process, Lawrence always felt that oriental-style green tea would go well with it.
It tastes a bit strange to eat with cream snacks.
In the narration, Lawrence only hid the last part about the dragon's remnant soul being completely controlled by the Bai Ze phantom in his mind, and told all other things truthfully. The thrill and excitement in it attracted two people.
From time to time, a lady let out a small exclamation.
After the narration of the entire game ended, the two ladies were still in a daze for a while before they recovered. Although both of them are extraordinary people, they have never experienced such a fierce battle. So for them,
They said that what Lawrence said really shocked them.
"This is so handsome." After recovering, Saifei praised Lawrence. "At least I don't think I could have done it so perfectly under that situation."
"It's actually nothing." Lawrence looked at the two ladies' admiring looks and smiled and shook his hands, "After all, there is a lot of luck involved in all of this."
His words were not only meant to the two ladies, but also a self-reminder to Lawrence himself. With luck, sometimes I can achieve unexpected gains, but luck is only temporary and will not last forever.
To bless a certain person. If you want to truly take the initiative, strength is the most basic thing.
For example, if Lawrence hadn't upgraded to a formal warlock this time after entering the astral plane, the phantom of Bai Ze in his mind might not be able to withstand the mental impact of the professional-level kobold leader. Let alone later on.
In the battle, he defeated the kobold leader head-on.
From another perspective, if Lawrence and the kobold leader are both professional-level extraordinary beings this time, then when he faces the kobold leader head-on, he will be able to defeat the visionary trapped in the astral plane.
The guy who is not enough will not have to take risks in the end to barely win.
After reflecting for a few seconds, Lawrence raised his tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then changed the subject and asked Saphire. "I heard you say on the way here that our firm has encountered a difficult matter, but you just just said
I’ve said half of it. Can you tell me the specific situation now?”
"Of course." Saifei said. "Didn't I tell you before that we went to investigate a high-society party and found nothing related to the supernatural? But that time we were thoroughly convinced.
The fact that Mrs. Bath had an affair. After we came back, we gave Mr. Bath the photographic stone that recorded the part of the party about Mrs. Bath."
"Of course, we naturally remember to blur other people's identities before handing over the image stone." Fatina added. "After all, we have a bottom line and will not infringe on other people's privacy."
"Mr. Bass seemed very excited after getting the photo stone and looking at it -" Saphire was suddenly interrupted by Lawrence. "Excited? He was actually very excited after seeing his wife cheating on him. Is this Mr. Bass very excited?"
There’s something wrong with your brain!”
"That's what we thought at the time," Saphire said with a shrug. "Because his reaction was obviously different from normal people, Fatina thought he was going crazy because of the stimulation."
"But later we learned that Mr. Bass and his wife had never had children, and he had a seven-year-old son with his outside lover, so he had long wanted to divorce his wife for the sake of heirs. But once divorced, he
He has to distribute a large amount of money to his wife, and he has always hoped to find his wife's fault and pay less or even no divorce fees."
"Because of this, we have always suspected that his wife's cheating was related to him. But we don't have any evidence." Saying this, Saifei showed a disdainful look. "Then the next day, he brought his lover and the couple with him.
The son born to my lover came to us and said that he wanted to pay us the reward for completing the previous commission."
"Although we really don't like this kind of scumbag, there is no need for us to struggle with money." At this point, Fatina spread her hands. "Especially the money he promised before is too much.
It makes it impossible for us to refuse.”
"After they arrived, we naturally invited them to the living room and entertained them with tea and snacks. It should be said that everyone had a pleasant chat during the whole process. So when he was about to leave, in addition to the previously agreed money, he agreed
Give us an extra sum of money."
"But this time I messed up the matter because of my too much talk." Fatina said a little frustrated, but when Saifei heard what she said, she immediately leaned over and gently touched her back to comfort her. "
It’s not your fault, I can only say that Mr. Bass got his retribution for being a scumbag.”
"What on earth are you talking about?" After listening to the conversation between the two ladies, Lawrence looked at the two of them in confusion. "What are you talking about and what are you talking about? What on earth are you two talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
?”
"The situation is like this." Fatina smoothed her beard with her paw and explained to Lawrence. "When I sent them out, I smelled a very familiar smell from the child. That was me.
The smell of the long-lasting hair dye made by my uncle. So I told Mr. Bass that it is best not to use hair dye for your child at this age, otherwise he will easily become bald at a young age."
"As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, the expressions of Mr. Bass and his lover changed. Mr. Bass stared at me with a serious face and asked me if what I said was true."
"I assured him that it was absolutely true, and told him that the hair dye invented by my uncle was only popular among the upper class in this city, and not many people outside knew about it. I could recognize it purely because of the previous few
I once helped my uncle prepare this hair dye which has some extraordinary effects."
"I also told him that this thing is easy to identify, as long as he can find any extraordinary person who can identify it," Fatina finally said, "Then Mr. Bass grabbed his lover's arm and child's arm very rudely.
With his arm out, I saw him stuffing the two people into the carriage very roughly."
"What color is the hair of the three of them?" Lawrence felt that he could probably guess the reason why Mr. Bass was angry, but he still had to confirm it with Fatina.
"The woman was blond, and he and the child both looked like they had brown hair." Fatina recalled briefly.
"Okay, I know what's going on." Lawrence raised his lips slightly. It seemed that Robert Baratheon's experience in "A Song of Ice and Fire" also has real-life examples. "So he didn't
What remuneration will be paid to us?"
"No, he paid us the reward the next day." Sephiel shook his head. "It's just that the really thorny problem for us has only begun now."
