Fifteen minutes later, Lawrence and Saphire sat together in a luxurious tea room, enjoying a sumptuous afternoon tea. Sitting opposite them across a coffee table was a woman wearing a lace hair accessory.
Madame Fontaine in a long gown.
Everyone had a great time chatting throughout the afternoon tea, especially Mrs. Fontaine, who knew that Lawrence had published a cover paper in the "Federal Journal of Medicine" and sent him an invitation. She hoped that he could work with Saifei when he was free.
Get up and attend the party at Fontaine Manor.
During the chat at afternoon tea, Lawrence took out the remaining hooch and gave it to Mrs. Fontaine, because she expressed to Lawrence that she hoped she could have some way to help her child recover as soon as possible, and now Lawrence's only way is to burn it.
Such extraordinary spices. Of course, Lawrence also believed that Mrs. Fontaine could give him a good price for these things.
When the afternoon tea was over, Lawrence and the others left the manor in the carriage in the manor. After they returned to their detective agency, Sephiel went directly upstairs and called Fatina down who was practicing how to use the tail knife, and then
The three people sat in the living room and began to distribute the harvest after completing today's commission.
Regarding extraordinary items, according to the distribution rules among extraordinary people, it belongs to the person who made the most contribution in finding this item, and at the same time, it must make up for the other people who made contributions in the process. And now this one with the book charm
The notebook was obtained entirely by Lawrence through his own efforts, so it naturally belongs to Lawrence.
After determining the destination of the notebook, the next step was to distribute the money. When talking about this, Saifei seemed a little excited. "We made a lot of money this time. Really, I swear I have never done it before."
I’ve taken so much money.”
After saying that, she took out her wallet and opened it in front of everyone. Lawrence found that there was a thick stack of green bills inside. These were ten-dollar bills issued by the White Eagle Federation, with the Federation's logo painted on the front.
The national emblem is a bald eagle holding a star in its mouth, and the words ten yuan are written on the back.
"This mission was discussed for 500 yuan." Saifei took out the money and divided it into two parts, one more and one less, and then pushed the smaller part in front of Lawrence. "But in the end,
The housekeeper of the Dan family gave me 600 yuan, and the 100 yuan was used to buy your spices, so it belongs to you naturally."
"And the remaining 500 yuan -" Saifei said, dividing the 500 yuan on the table into two equal parts. "Half will be used as public funds for the detective agency, and the other half will be used according to the three of us in this commission.
Individual contributions are distributed. Lawrence gets 180 yuan, I get 60 yuan, and Fatina gets 10 yuan.”
"Is everyone okay with my distribution method?" After dividing the money, Saifei looked at Lawrence and the others and asked.
"Isn't it a bit too much to get 10 yuan for me without doing anything?" Fatina said with some embarrassment as she looked at the money allocated to herself. After all, 10 yuan is equivalent to one month's monthly salary of an ordinary worker.
.
"Not much." Lawrence stood up and looked at Fatina and said, "You must know that we are a team, so when dividing the spoils, every member who participated in this event should get the spoils.
.It was everyone’s decision not to go today, so you should get this trophy even if you stay and do nothing as required.”
After the distribution of the spoils, Lawrence returned to the room used for magic research upstairs. The first thing he did after entering was to take out the previous notebook from his coat pocket.
Following the magic ritual he had learned from a book in the library of St. Gutenberg's Cathedral, Lawrence took out a small bottle of essential oil distilled from the leaves of Water Flower and mixed it with pure silver powder and cypress leaf powder.
When everything was mixed, he added an equal amount of distilled water to the bottle.
After doing all this, Lawrence checked to confirm that there was no problem with the liquid configuration. He took out his mithril pen for drawing runes from the space bag on his waist and dipped it in the liquid in the bottle on the edge of the table.
A magic circle was drawn on a stone slab, and the somewhat old notebook was placed in the middle of the magic circle.
After everything was ready, Lawrence input a little magic power into the magic array. Every line and every rune on the entire magic array was lit up by magic power and emitted a soft white light. When the entire magic array was lit up, Lawrence
He quickly took out a silver-plated knife and made a small cut on the ring finger of his left hand, and then dripped blood on the notebook.
In an instant, all the light on the magic circle rushed toward the notebook in the center of the magic circle. Its brightness made Lawrence have to squint his eyes. After the light faded, Lawrence immediately felt that there was a gap between himself and the book charm on the notebook.
A light connection was established.
After feeling that the magic contract was successfully signed, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief at this time, because before in the library, the book charm made it very clear that it wanted to become Lawrence's magic pet. The reason was that it smelled something from Lawrence.
A smell that made him very comfortable.
Lawrence felt that it might be caused by the blood of Bai Ze in his body. As a symbol of wisdom, it is very normal for the blood of Bai Ze to attract creatures like Shu Mei whose life is knowledge.
For Shuchari, it is also a very fortunate thing to meet a satisfactory owner candidate. Because creatures like them that are neither good at fighting nor hiding and have high requirements for the growing environment rely on their own
If the strength grows, the growth rate will be very slow, and it will also be very easy to die young.
Therefore, for creatures like them, it is a very good choice to find a better owner to take them to upgrade quickly. After all, their lifespan is much longer than that of humans, and the time required to serve one person is very important to them.
It is a small part of life. It is very worthwhile in their eyes to exchange such a period of lack of freedom for a great improvement in level.
As for individual masters, it is not a bad thing for these magic pets to have long lifespans, because in such a world, lifespan is often linked to their strength. In the luckiest cases, there are even magic pets that are in the hands of their masters.
After igniting the divine fire and successfully becoming a god, you can successfully become a slave god or a divine envoy.
Naturally, those familiars who follow their masters and become gods or divine envoys are regarded as winners in life among intelligent extraordinary creatures such as book charms. Everyone who is interested in embracing the thighs of other intelligent creatures looks forward to them.
Thinking that they will become the next one.
"Okay, you can come out." After confirming that the contract was established, Lawrence entered a little magic power into the notebook. He could feel that the book charm suddenly became active after the magic power entered the book. Fortunately, the magic power required for the book charm did not
Not much, it only requires the power of a zero-level magic in a week. "I have something to ask you."
"Master, may I help you with anything?" As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, the round book charm floated out of the notebook and asked, "Now is the most energetic time I have felt in the past 50 years.
, the feeling that we could only maintain a glimmer of hope before was really too bad.”
"I want to ask what abilities you have mastered?" Lawrence said to the little guy in front of him. "After knowing your abilities, it will be easier for me to get along with you in the future."
"My ability -" the little ball said after spinning around Lawrence for a few times, "my ability is not good at fighting, but I have special talents in other aspects -"
