Since Hugh joined MI9, she has been extremely busy at work and almost never returns to this house. This has a lot to do with the department she is in now.
The team she is currently in is called the "Pre-Trial and Torture Team", which is responsible for interrogating extraordinary people captured by MI9.
But now she is still the "sheriff" without the blessing of the "Interrogator" potion at all, even though she had made a contribution to the interrogation of arrested members of the Rose School with the help of the information sent by Jeffrey (Rawls)
, but far from the average level within the group.
Fortunately, her "sheriff" potion has been almost digested, and she only needs a suitable opportunity to completely digest the potion. After that, she can redeem it for the Lord by virtue of her contribution to the Hermoshuin Manuscript 1.
materials and be promoted to "Interrogator".
And Forsi also accelerated the progress of the new book, hoping to save enough money as soon as possible to purchase the Extraordinary Characteristics of the "Astrologer" from Mr. "Emperor". But writing a book does not necessarily mean that you can write it if you want to. She was irritated.
I scratched my hair and decided to go for a walk to find inspiration.
In fact, if possible, she would actually prefer to buy materials to prepare magic potions. Mr. "The Hanged Man" once said that taking the extraordinary properties left by extraordinary people will prolong the digestion time. But the materials for Sequence 8 "Master of Magic" are already difficult
After searching, the main ingredients of the "Astrologer" formula, the blood of the Lava octopus and the meteorite crystal, are even more difficult to find.
Apart from the Tarot Society, Alicia, the only one who could provide help, took away the "witch" from the Gnostic Society and never came back, and Jeffrey had disappeared long ago.
As she walked, she found that she had unknowingly returned to a familiar place, near the house where the old lady who led her into the extraordinary world lived.
"It's been almost three years. The place should have been rented out again. Maybe there have been several tenant changes... I still remember that when I came to sort out the belongings, I found a lot of notes recording my occult experiences..."
Forsi walked under the sycamore tree with few leaves left, and slowly approached the house No. 39.
As she recalled her past experiences, she gradually gained some inspiration for writing.
Just then, she saw an old man wearing a heavy woolen coat and a half-high black top hat standing at the door of the house at No. 39, and rang the doorbell three times.
After a few minutes, no one opened the door. The old man with blue eyes shook his head and turned around, and whispered in confusion:
"Still no one..."
He suddenly found Forsi who was staying not far away and looking over here. He quickly stepped forward and walked over, smiling gently and eagerly:
"Beautiful lady, do you live in this neighborhood? Do you know Roberto and Anlisa?"
…
The Jowood District is close to Ayres Street in the West End, stopping near a house with a vast lawn, a wide garden, a small fountain square and marble statues.
Klein, who found this place with the help of the "divination staff method", looked at this house and knew that Daisy, the daughter of the textile worker, must have been kidnapped here, and the name of the owner of this house was Kapin.
This name had been mentioned by others when he was investigating serial murders, and at the Tarot meeting, Mr. "Emperor", a member of the Augustus family and a middle-level and high-level member of MI9, had said that Capin was related to the disappearance of many girls.
But there is no evidence, and there are many big figures behind him, so he has not been arrested for a long time.
Klein did not believe that the big figures behind Kapin were more noble than Mr. Emperor and Miss Justice. In particular, Mr. Emperor was unable to personally deal with Kapin due to political or other factors.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to stab Kaping to the Hanged Man and the Church of Storms behind him.
Perhaps, we can discuss this with Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Mr. "The Emperor"?
Shaking his head, Klein rejected the idea. He didn't want people to think that Sherlock Moriarty was "the world", and Daisy might not be able to wait.
…
Inside a small booth in a cafe.
Fors already knew that the old man opposite was called Lawrence Nord, who came from Conston City, Jianhai County, and was a public school teacher. And Lawrence also learned about the death of Roberto and Anlisa from her mouth, as well as her
Obtained Anlisa's inheritance.
Lawrence was silent for a moment and said:
"Thank you for your story, it made me understand something. By the way, where are Loblo and Anlisa buried?"
"Green Cemetery." Forsi took out his pocket watch from his bag and took a look at it. "Mr. Lawrence, I have something else to do. It's time for me to leave."
Lawrence didn't stop him, got up and sent Forsi to the door of the cafe. As soon as she returned to her seat, she saw that she was stopped by a familiar person.
"Are you Fors Wall?"
"It's me, you?" Forsi looked at the old man with exaggerated arms blocking his way with some confusion.
"I am Dorian Gray, and I am..." Dorian was just about to tell his purpose when he heard a familiar old voice coming from the door of the cafe.
"Dorian?"
Dorian looked around and saw Lawrence, who was wearing a heavy woolen coat and a half-high black hat. He took a few steps forward in surprise. Looking at the tribesman who was older than his actual age, countless complex feelings surged in his heart and he said nothing.
He just stepped forward and hugged Lawrence.
Forsi saw the old wrinkles on their faces and the lingering tears in their eyes. His inspiration was like an erupting spring. He wished he could just take a camera to record this touching scene.
Dorian still said nothing, patted Lawrence on the shoulder, turned to Forsi and said:
"Ms. Wall, please wait a moment. Lawrence and I have something to talk about. After that, I will tell you my purpose."
Forsi nodded immediately. If the two people in front of her were not likely to be from the Abraham family, and if she were not afraid of annoying others, she would even have the intention to listen in. This is living writing material!
…
In the private room of the cafe.
"Have you met someone from the Tamara family?" Lawrence couldn't believe it and almost spilled the coffee in front of him.
"Yes, this is also the reason why I came to Backlund." Dorian gently shook the silver spoon in the cup. Seeing his old friend made him feel very good.
"What did he say?"
"It's 'her', a demigod who carries the sealed artifact of the 'traveler'."
"What did she say? Didn't I remember that the Tamara family has been hiding for thousands of years? Have they decided to come out?"
Lawrence was a staunch supporter of cultivating non-family members before Abraham's catastrophe. But before that, as a member of the Presbyterian Church, he, Dorian and other Presbyterian Church members had not considered looking for the marriage partner from thousands of years ago.
Marla family.
But since the Tudor Empire fell and the Abrahams decided to leave the protection of Antigonus, they could no longer contact the reclusive Tamara family. Moreover, Tamara's branch was more or less the same as theirs.
If anything, the idea was abandoned.
"Yes, although she didn't tell me the reason, the Tamara family should have a suitable plan. They are looking for the branch clan members and us."
"You agreed?"
In Lawrence's opinion, since Dorian came to Backlund according to the words of the Tamara clan member, it must have been something promised by the Tamara family.
"No."
Dorian shook his head. Since the rebellion within the Abraham family, the voice of the Presbyterian Church has become increasingly weaker. Although he is a core member of the Presbyterian Church, he cannot represent the Presbyterian Church at all, let alone the Abraham family.
"I just agreed to teach Forsi. After all, the Abrahams can no longer afford to lose, but we still need to maintain friendly relations with the Tamara family."
As a member of the Presbyterian Church, Lawrence naturally knew Abraham's current situation. In the disaster, the upper echelons of the family were almost wiped out, and more than half of the powerful sealed objects were lost, leaving only three pieces.
Although as a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, Abraham still retains most of his wealth, but it has been distributed to various families. And these people have almost given up on becoming extraordinary people and just want to live as ordinary people.
Although they still remember that they are from Abraham, they have all changed their surnames. Otherwise, with Abraham's thousands of years of wealth accumulation, there may not be an angel family in a few decades, but there will be a noble Abraham who controls power. In the fifth era, this extraordinary person has become
In the secret black iron age, this may be a good choice.
"Although I haven't been with Forsi for long, I can see that she is hiding some things, but I can feel that she is pretty good." Dorian's face turned a lot darker. Many of those who betrayed the family in that disaster were
his students.
Although Lawrence felt a little regretful, he still managed to cheer up and said with a smile:
"So, with you as my teacher, I can feel a lot more relaxed."
"What?" Dorian was a little surprised and happy, but still shook his head, "I can feel that I can't hold on for much longer. It's better for you to teach her, and I'll help you."
Lawrence, who knew that he was worried, did not try to persuade him anymore and exhaled softly:
"It's time for us to talk to Fors."
…
A half-round red moon hangs in the sky, casting its crimson moonlight on Bayam, the "City of Kangxi".
A figure wearing a cloak and a mask slowly walked out of the alley. Behind him lay a man with tattoos on the ground. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The figure took off his mask, revealing his handsome features. It was none other than Rawls Adrian, but his expression was mixed with confusion and disappointment.
Looking back at the unconscious man, Rawls shook his head. It was still useless, or not very useful at all. At most, it would be digested faster than time. He has been trying to play the role of "Corrupted Baron" these days, but it's a pity.
The effect was not great, and he even vaguely suspected that the feeling of digesting the potion after the transaction with "Hercules" Ozil was an illusion.
Two days ago, after reaching a deal with Ozil, Rawls felt that the potion in his body was showing signs of digestion. Although it was very small, there was indeed progress. This made him feel that he had figured out how to play the "Corrupted Baron"
, that is corrupting people’s hearts.
Although Ozil is the owner of the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" and can hold extraordinary gatherings, it is absolutely impossible for him to get involved in arms transactions, especially large-scale arms transactions. These are arms groups, the army, and nobles.
Get rid of sticky hands.
This means that under Rawls's "persuasion" and "induction", he had thoughts he shouldn't have, his greedy desires increased, and his mind was "corrupted".
According to this idea, Rawls has been looking for some hidden pirates in the past two days, using words and abilities to amplify their inner desires, trying to use this method to act as quickly as possible.
But he failed, although not as completely.
In his several attempts, he found that if he simply used the ability of the "Corruption Baron" to "corrode" the soul, he would not be able to perform the role; and if he only used words and interests, it seemed to be of some use, but not very useful.
Raising his head and glancing at the red moon in the sky, Rawls put on his mask again. Perhaps he needed to consult relevant people. Such professional issues still require professionals to answer questions.
He also wants to know now what is the difference between the ability of "Appraiser" and the Gu Gu of "Uncertain Mist".
…
"Artisan" Sharf glanced at Rawls outside the door, showed no expression or spoke, turned around and walked into the house.
Rawls shrugged his shoulders and followed him. As soon as he entered the door, he found "Reader" Jemino sitting on the sofa, flipping through a finger-thick tome with a notebook beside him.
, he records something on it from time to time.
Seeing Rawls come in, Jemino waved his pen in his right hand casually:
"Good evening."
With the same greeting, Rawls came to the bar skillfully and watched Scharf place three boxes of different sizes and engraved with different patterns on the bar counter. The patterns on them can make the extraordinary things inside the boxes
The spiritual fluctuation of the item is reduced.
"I really want to know how you used those two extraordinary items. Except for the collar button, each one has a very powerful negative effect. Without a special method, it will only cause harm to the user."
Where is this? Extraordinary items will only exceed your imagination time and time again... Rawls smiled and replied:
"If you are willing, I can use you as a test subject to let you know how I use it."
His words were purely to scare Sharf. Except for the collar button corresponding to the "Rageful People", he had not used the rest.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jamil immediately raised his head and looked at the two of them, but Sharf's refusal made him lower his head and flip through the large books in his hands. The books in Sharf's place were better than those in his mother Dorothy's laboratory.
I need to go into more detail, and I am worthy of being a descendant of that great emperor.
Sharf pushed a box in front of Rawls, his tone unchanged:
"There's nothing much to say about this collar button. Apart from the weird negative effects, this is the first time I know that the negative effects of extraordinary items from the 'Sailor' path are seasickness. As for the ruby ring, it corresponds to the 'Rose Bishop'
…”
He opened the smallest box, revealing a ruby ring, which reflected countless bloody rays under the illumination of the gas lamp.
