047 New Mission

Saphire's grandfather was a well-known art dealer in Eagle Castle, so the place where he lived was also a so-called noble community. The specific location was next to McKinley Street in front of Sheriff Frank's house.

Laurel Street.

When the carriage entered the street, Lawrence noticed that the sidewalks on both sides of the street were covered with laurel trees. This must be the reason why the street was named.

"I'm home." At this time, the carriage stopped outside a small red brick building under the command of Seifer. What appeared in front of Lawrence was an independent three-story building with a small garden in the front.

The front wall and the cast-iron railings of the garden are covered with emerald green ivy.

Lawrence helped pull the big suitcase out of the carriage, while Saphire pulled the doorbell at the door. After a crisp ringing, a middle-aged maid in a high-collared maid uniform opened the door and walked through the garden.

.

"You are back, Miss Saphire." The maid greeted Saphire enthusiastically immediately after seeing Saphire. "Sir and Madam, they have been talking about you non-stop since yesterday -"

At this time, the curtains of the room's oriel window were opened, and two figures appeared behind the glass window. Lawrence knew that it was Saifei's grandparents who were greeting her in the house.

"Then I'll go back first. If you need anything, you can come to see me at St. Gutenberg's Cathedral." Knowing that Saifei must have a lot to say to his relatives after studying in the Old World for four years, Lawrence waved his hand knowingly.

Farewell.

"Well, I will go find you around nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." Saphire, who was standing outside the door, waved his hand after hearing what Lawrence said, "At that time, I may need to trouble you to choose the future with me.

The location of the detective agency.

"No problem." Lawrence nodded, and then he took a carriage and left Laurel Street. As soon as he returned to the church, he went to the Ministry of Doctrine of the Faith to find a task that suited him.

"Ah, good afternoon." Because Lawrence has been going to this place at 4:30 every afternoon to check the tasks recently. Therefore, the priest responsible for updating information already knew him. When he found that it was Lawrence who opened the door, he put down

He took off the book in his hand and greeted Lawrence.

"Good afternoon, Priest Robinson." Lawrence also nodded slightly and saluted, and then he asked, "Well, are there any tasks suitable for me to complete today?"

"You are lucky. I really have a task suitable for you today." The priest said and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the desk in front of him. "After all, we are the main church of the Church of Knowledge and it is located in Eagle Castle.

In this big city, there are not many tasks suitable for low-level extraordinary people to perform, especially for a pure newcomer like you. It took me some effort to find a suitable task for you from these files."

"Thank you very much." Lawrence thanked Priest Robinson across from him. Then he looked down at the paper in his hand. After reading a few lines, Lawrence frowned slightly.

"There is a strange ghost haunting the house in the Gear District. It is the property left by the grandfather of the woman who turned into a demonized snake man last time." Lawrence asked a little puzzled, "How could she have such a property that fell into disgrace?"

Are you going to be a backup dancer?"

"This property is in the Gear District, and it is also next to the abandoned factories in the Gear District. It has long been turned into ruins and is occupied by a group of gangs." Priest Robinson said, "The most important thing is, because she

Because she has not paid property taxes for a long time, the property does not belong to her now, but has been taken away by the bank."

"Didn't the bank send someone to take care of it?" Lawrence asked with some confusion. "I remember that each bank should have its own group of extraordinary beings."

"But it costs money, and if there are casualties, they will pay a very large amount of money in pensions." Priest Robinson showed a contemptuous expression. "So they will not mobilize their extraordinary beings unless they have to.

.Not to mention that even if this property is cleared, it will be unprofitable for the bank.”

"Then why do we want to get involved in this matter?" Lawrence looked puzzled. "It says that the ghost never left the room. It doesn't look very dangerous."

After all, this is a world with extraordinary beings. Human beings cannot and do not have the ability to eliminate all other extraordinary beings living within the sphere of human influence. Therefore, people tend to only deal with those who are very harmful and have a wide range of activities. And like

Normally no one would care about this kind of house-type ghost who rarely leaves the house.

Anyway, people in this world are used to being neighbors with extraordinary creatures or undead. As long as those things do not harm or hinder others and are not in crowded places, even the most active church on this issue generally

Won't care.

"Indeed, under normal circumstances we would not care about this ghost." Priest Robinson shook his head. "But because of the previous incident, we hope to send people to search that place to see if we can find more

Clues related to this demonization incident."

"If you can find clues related to the demonization incident, the church will give you extra points." Priest Robinson added, "So although this operation only has 50 points, if you are lucky, you may get several times more points.

of points.”

"To be honest, I personally think that for you, the difficulty of this operation is not to solve the ghost, but how to enter that house. After all, there are several gangs around that place, and there is even a gang headquarters upstairs.

, I don’t think they’re going to let you in the room.”

"A gang that lives in the same room as a ghost? It sounds like this is getting more and more interesting." Lawrence laughed, "You don't have to worry about these gangs. The place I rented for the four years I went to college was here.

Gear District, just happen to know some people who can solve this problem.”

Lawrence was not lying. He had met many people when he lived in the tavern run by Aunt Susan. He also used his professional abilities to help the wounded who entered the tavern without discrimination. In this way, he naturally accumulated a lot of experience there.

If you have enough connections, at least it will be no problem to bring you close to that area through these people.

"That's good, this task is for you." Priest Robinson said, taking out a pen and paper and writing a note on the table. Then he put in a brass-colored pipe nearby, closed the lid, and twisted the wrench.

"This is a pneumatic piping system." Priest Robinson explained as Lawrence looked at the brass pipe with curious eyes. "It is a piping system that uses compressed air as power to transmit some small things. The church only installed it this year.

of these pipes.”

After explaining this, a small bell on the pipe suddenly dinged, and then the brass label that was originally horizontal on one pipe stood up. Upon seeing this, Priest Robinson immediately opened the cover of the corresponding pipe.

"Ha, the reply is here." The priest unfolded the scroll that was just sent, looked at it, and then handed the scroll to Lawrence. "Okay, your operation has now been entered into the file. Remember, there is no

You cannot receive other tasks in the church before completion. Unless you complete this task or pay liquidated damages to end this task."

"I know." Lawrence nodded after taking the scroll. "I will go there early tomorrow morning to complete the task."
