When the sun just rose the next morning, Lawrence immediately got up from the bed and started cleaning up. Because he had made an appointment with Saphire to meet at the door around nine o'clock, and then they would go together to find her future detective.
The location of the office.
After washing up in the bathroom, Lawrence went to the cafeteria and bought a large sandwich, a boiled egg and a cup of sugared milk for 4 cents. Unexpectedly, the new friend he met yesterday, Fa
Tina also got up very early, and was also in the cafeteria at this time, and had even eaten part of breakfast.
"Good morning, Lawrence." Due to religious habits, the lights in the cafeteria were not very bright. However, Fatina used the rat people's unique dark vision ability to accurately identify Lawrence among a bunch of vague figures and said to
He said hello.
"Good morning, Fatina." After hearing Fatina's voice five or six meters away, Lawrence walked over, put the dinner plate on her dining table, and sat on the seat opposite her. "By the way,
How is your injury now?"
"Thank you for your concern, because the wound did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the priest gave me some medicine yesterday, so after a night's rest, the wound on my ankle has healed. Although running fast will still cause some pain
It hurts, but I have no problem walking normally."
"That's good." Lawrence nodded, and then asked. "By the way, what are your plans next?"
"I'm not sure what I should do next?" Fatina looked a little confused and shook her head. "In the past week since I came out of home, I have been living in the Dolphin District in the south, where my tribe lives.
At the same time, I take on odd jobs like finding pets and cleaning up sludge monsters in the basement.”
"Although this kind of work is not very dangerous, and it is not like being on the verge of death all the time like in adventure novels. But I can't make much money. On average, after deducting the cost of food, drink and accommodation every day, I only earn
It can save eleven or two cents. It is impossible to make up for the losses I caused by this."
"If that's the case, I can introduce you to a place." Lawrence suddenly thought of Saifei, who was gearing up to open a detective agency. Even though Saifei had said that he had found some kind of inheritance in the old continent, Lawrence had always been
Somewhat worried about her.
Especially in this world filled with extraordinary beings, detectives have always been a high-risk profession. Therefore, Lawrence hopes to add a layer of insurance to Saphiel. Obviously, as a red dragon warlock, Fatina should be qualified for such a job.
Even though she was just a trainee warlock of the same level as him. Yesterday, he asked an acquaintance in the church to investigate her and confirm that she was indeed more reliable.
After briefly introducing Sephiel's plan, Fatina was obviously interested, because he felt that the detective's work was no different from the adventurers he saw in his novels.
So at nine o'clock in the morning, Seifer was wearing a beige men's trench coat, a brown deerstalker hat, and a small rapier on his waist as he walked along the sidewalk to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral.
When she arrived at the door, she found that not only Lawrence was waiting for her at the door, but also a rat man wearing a robe with only his face exposed.
The overall style of this world has a lot in common with the Victorian era in Lawrence's previous life, but there are also many differences. One of them is that due to the existence of extraordinary powers, this world is far better than the Victorian era in terms of gender equality. So this world
Clothing is not so rigid, and it has become popular for women, especially working women, to wear men's clothing.
"Good morning, Lawrence." After hugging Lawrence, Saphire turned his eyes to his side. "Who is this?"
"Oh, this is Miss Fatina. I met her when I went on an adventure yesterday." Lawrence then briefly introduced his adventure experience yesterday.
"Ah, it's such a pity that you didn't take me with you on such an exciting thing." After complaining, she stretched out her hand and shook Fatina's paw. "Nice to meet you."
After the two ladies said hello, Seifer led the way and took everyone in the intended direction. On the way, she began to briefly introduce today's action plan to everyone.
"Actually, a month before I returned to the Federation, I asked my grandfather to help me find a location that could be used as a storefront. Then when my grandfather was making contacts, an old friend of his told my grandfather that he had a plan
You can give me the property."
"Is it a free gift?" Fatina's round little eyes were full of envy. For her, who was now eager to make money despite having an empty pocket, a windfall from heaven was something she could only dream of.
"Don't think about it." Saphiel shook his head, "I learned a saying when I was a child, that is, all the gifts of fate have been marked with a price in secret. If it is really a free gift, I would not dare to ask for it.
Because that often means I have to pay more, even a price I can’t afford.”
"Did he say before what the prerequisite was?" Lawrence asked. "If it's a large sum of money -"
"It's not a big sum of money. If there was a huge sum of money, why would I need to ask my grandfather for help?" Saphire interrupted Lawrence. "My grandfather's friend is Dalton Marshall, an artist.
Goods merchant."
"Is there an art dealer named Marshall?" Lawrence touched his chin, and then said with some uncertainty. "Is the Mr. Marshall you are talking about one of the richest art dealers in the northeastern part of the federation?"
One, and then the guy who opened a big gallery on Third Avenue in Eagle Castle.”
"No, but it has something to do with the person you mentioned." Saifei explained. "Dalton Marshall is the younger brother of the William Marshall you mentioned, and he is also an art dealer. Of course, the size of his shop is the same as his
My brother’s is much smaller in comparison.”
"Then what does he want from us?" Lawrence asked with some confusion. "A property is not cheap. If you need to pay such a big price, it should be very troublesome."
"My grandfather just said that he was looking for something." Sephiel shrugged, "Anyway, he didn't say that he had to complete the task after receiving it. Let's just give it a try. If we get a house for free, it won't work.
It will only waste a little time and money."
"You're right." Hearing Saifei say this, Lawrence and Fatina both nodded in agreement. After all, the investment in this kind of thing is not much, but the rewards may be very big. It is very good to try your luck.
A worthwhile thing.
Chatting all the way, the three of them soon arrived at a secluded street next to Central Park. This street was generally much more luxurious than the residential areas Lawrence had visited before.
On both sides of the street are two or three-story independent villas, each with a distance of seven or eight meters from its neighbors. White or brown walls circle independent gardens for these villas.
.
The most important thing is that when the three of them were about to enter the street, Lawrence also saw a policeman wearing a helmet-shaped hat and a blue cape sitting in a guard box at the intersection. You must know that when he rented a small loft in a bar four years ago,
I only saw the police on that street three or four times in the whole four years.
"Okay, we're here." Saphire stopped in front of an wrought iron gate, then stepped forward and pulled a metal chain hanging by the door, and then a clear and melodious bell rang.
