Near the main house of Red Rose Manor, equestrian teacher Talim Dumont communicated very enthusiastically with Pacheco Dawn, the lawyer and partner who came with the steam-powered car tycoon. As for the old butler Finkel, he had already retired.
Handled some work in the manor.
"Pacheco, which barrister's college are you going to study in the future? The Middle Chamber or the Inner Chamber?"
Although the two met for the first time, Talim had an inexplicable affinity for Mr. Dawn. He attributed this to his barrister friend Rolls Adrian, but Pacheco
Now he is just a solicitor.
"Haha, I have no intention of becoming a barrister. Even as a solicitor, I rarely do the work." The unremarkable-looking Pacheco shook his head.
Talim suddenly remembered that when Mr. Cage introduced him just now, he said that Pacheco was his partner. If you can cooperate with such a tycoon, it doesn't matter whether you are a solicitor or a barrister. Unless you are like Luo
If you don't have your own law firm like Charles, otherwise most of the barristers are just middle-class people.
But Pacheco was a lawyer by training, so how could he cooperate with a steam-powered car tycoon?
Perhaps sensing Talim's inner thoughts, Pacheco loosened the scarf around his neck and felt something:
"I have this idea thanks to Mr. Cage. He thinks that I can convince those government officials and company employees to place orders with the company. I prefer my current job to arguing over laws and regulations."
Talim understood that for Franmy Cage, Pacheco was actually a salesperson, only more powerful than ordinary salesmen. The employees of the company were fine, but although the officials had no brains at work, they were still negotiating.
There is quite a lot of "experience" in it, and it takes a lot of time and money to negotiate.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked:
"Pacheco, do you know about bicycles? I have a friend who invested in an inventor and invented a means of transportation."
"Bicycle? Can you tell me more about it?"
"That's right, this kind of transportation can be ridden by one person, and the speed is a little faster than a horse-drawn carriage..."
Talim had heard Sherlock talk about this matter when he was at the club, and originally wanted to introduce it directly to the steam-powered car tycoon Franmy Cage.
But since the shooting in the club, some upper-class people rarely appeared in the club. And he had only met Franmi occasionally in the club before, but he didn't talk to each other, and even when they first met, he couldn't.
Lan Mi didn't have much impression of him, so he didn't agree rashly, he just promised to ask for help.
"Sounds great, I think Franmy would be interested."
Talim breathed a sigh of relief and turned to talk about other things. When he mentioned Rawls, Pacheco asked in surprise:
"Rolls Adrian? The young barrister?"
"We have known each other a few years ago before he went to Tingen to study. We are both members of the Krag Club."
Talim saw that Pacheco was interested in this topic, so he continued to talk about some interesting things that were not important and did not involve personal privacy.
Because of certain things, he has won the trust of Prince Edsac, and can even be called half of His Royal Highness the Prince's butler. When the old butler Finkel is away and His Royal Highness the Prince meets with others, he will
Take on the job of housekeeper or valet.
"Mr. Adrian is only twenty-three years old, right? I was still interning with a barrister at this age..."
"He only turned twenty-three last month and was already a barrister when he was twenty-one."
When Talim first met Rawls, he was a little jealous of his friend, but this feeling disappeared after he graduated early and became famous in the legal profession.
Pacheco smiled with a smile on his face and said with emotion:
"You are so young! I hope I can meet you if I have a chance."
"Okay, it's just that he's been busy lately, so it might take a while before he's free. As you know, Adrian's office is expanding recently."
Talim did not tell the news that Rawls had left Backlund. There was no need to talk about political turmoil.
…
The city of Kham, Bayam.
Alger Wilson, whose blue hair was wrapped in a turban and dressed as an indigenous man, walked back and forth several times in the neighborhood. After confirming that no one was secretly following him, he walked towards Craftsman Sharf's house.
On the one hand, he wanted to see if he could buy a few more Russell diaries from Sharf. On the other hand, "The World" entrusted him with a task to help sell a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 7 "Werewolf". But
Because of the cursed characteristics of "werewolves", it is easier to process them into extraordinary items.
"Dongdongdong"
"Dongdongdong"
After knocking several times, Alger stood at the door and frowned. Wasn't he at home? Did he go to the "Red Theater"? Or did he go to the homes of his mistresses?
…
In a hotel on Olavi Island, Rawls looked at the map and note in his hand, and then looked up at the messenger Alexio Tamar, who was wearing a black robe and a hood, and his whole body was hidden.
La, nodded towards him and said:
"There is a guy who is 2.6 meters tall and has only one eye in Warehouse No. 134 at Port Olavi. Go and see if he is still there. Don't let him find out."
Seeing Alexio nod and then disappear into the air, he took a deep breath and looked at the map in his hand.
An island off the main channel to the south of Tyrinhos Port?
The map in his hand was bought from a department store near the port. Although it was a hand-drawn map by civilians, it was relatively accurate. The location he was silently reciting was already marked on the map, but
There is a sea area with no islands, but according to the messenger Alexio's mark, this place is the place where "Artisan" Sharf disappeared.
There must be something left by Russell there, otherwise, given the special nature of the messenger's ability to travel through the spiritual world, it would be impossible for him to follow Sharf after arriving on the island.
Throwing aside the map and note in his hand, Rawls pinched his eyebrows. He was just purely curious about Sharf.
As a direct descendant of Russell, there are three possibilities for him to escape from the Church of Steam. One is that Bonova Gustave betrayed him, and the other is that the Church of Steam wants to see if he has any legacy or treasure from Russell.
, and thirdly, Sharf has certain means to avoid being traced by the Church of Steam.
But now he definitely can't go to that island. He has no time and no other choice, so he still has to put his energy into "Vice Admiral Dusk" and Auston Leavitt.
Last night, or to be precise in the early hours of this morning, the batch of arms issued by Rawls was transported by "One-Eyed Knight" Andreevich to 30 to 40 nautical miles away from Oravi, and was controlled by a "Singer of the Sea"
The strong wind was transferred to his ship, and then sailed towards Fusaktoska Island.
Rawls, who was floating in the sea at that time, had two choices, either to follow the "Villas" sailing in the direction of Fusac, or to continue to secretly follow the "One-Eyed Knight". After a brief hesitation, he chose to go back.
who.
In this world, the Sequence 5 Beyonders are already powerful, and the pirate generals are at this level. It is too dangerous to board the ship of an "Ocean Singer" and it is easy to be exposed. But tracking
Andreevich is much simpler. Even if he is discovered, he has room for maneuver. The most he can do is kill everyone on the ship.
After all, anything can happen on the sea!
But after all the arms were removed, the "Kala" sailed directly to Oravi Island and handed over the cargo on the ship before the time limit. After the "One-Eyed Knight" got off the ship, he went straight to the Holy Land outside the port.
Draco Mountain watched the sunrise, and after watching it, he hired someone to rent a carriage and drove around Olavi Island.
At first, Rawls thought Andreevich needed to perform some secret mission, so he relied on his strong body and "Scarlet Feast" shadow jumping ability to secretly follow him. But after one day, that damn Cyclops actually lived in a dormitory.
Inside a warehouse.
If he hadn't been exhausted and unable to confront a "Knight of Dawn" who was famous for his defense and combat effectiveness, he would have rushed into the warehouse and blinded the other eye of the "One-Eyed Knight".
After resting for several hours, Rawls, who had almost recovered his mental and physical strength, was no longer as angry as before. He began to wonder what the meaning of Andreevich's actions was, but at this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps reached him.
ears.
After tapping the palm of his hand twice quickly with the middle finger of his right hand, the "Scarlet Feast" on Rawls's index finger poured out a rich shadow, and his figure flashed in the corner. The world in front of him also changed differently. All inanimate objects
Everything passes through, leaving only the color of the aura of life.
But the color of the aura of the person outside the door is very strange, and the color of emotions is normal, but the etheric body representing the body does not look natural enough. The green of the heart, the purple of the head, the yellow of the digestive system and other colors seem to be patched together.
The taste is not very harmonious. The spiritual body seems to be stitched together, which is very different from normal humans.
winter winter winter
"Good evening, sir, don't use your spiritual vision to observe me. I'm very sensitive in this regard. I'm here to give you something, and the reward Luo Yin Jin promised to give you."
Lo Yoon Kim?
Rawls walked out of the shadows and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew who the person outside was. The bell ringer Kano was a failed product made from the human body by the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. He revealed his identity as the bell ringer of the church.
, is actually a member of the School of Life.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened.
With the help of the starlight from the outside world and the dim light from the lantern in Kano's hand, Rawls could clearly see the appearance of the person who came. He looked about forty years old. Individually, his facial features were fine, but when combined together, they were full of strange features.
Sense of coordination. The two eyes are one high and one low, the two nostrils are larger and smaller. The muscles on the left side are slightly relaxed, causing the corners of the mouth to droop a bit, while the right side is just the opposite.
Although he is wearing a black robe, you can still find that his legs are obviously longer and shorter, and his arms are thicker and thinner. The whole person is extremely asymmetrical and ugly.
His thin arm was carrying a lantern, and his thick arm handed over an item wrapped in black cloth. What should be inside was the "Dream Catcher", which corresponds to the Sequence 5 "Dream Walker" of the "Audience" path.
”.
Rawls did not take it immediately and looked him up and down. Although he knew the other person's name, he still asked:
"Who are you?"
"Cano, the bell ringer of St. Draco's Church." Cano has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. "This is what Royce King gave you. Senator Richard said you need it now."
I need it now? "Dream Catcher"?
Rawls frowned, recalling the abilities and negative effects of the "Dream Catcher Mirror", nodded, then reached out to take the extraordinary item wrapped in black cloth, and moved out of the way:
"Mr. Cano, please come in."
"No need, I still have work to do." Kano shook his head, looking extremely scary under the dim light of the lantern.
"Then please wait for me. I have something to consult with you."
Rawls would not let go of such a good opportunity. He turned around and walked to the end of the room to put the "Dream Catcher" into the space purse. He followed Kano out of the hotel and walked towards the Church of San Draco.
"Is Mr. Cano a member of the School of Life? How did he become the bell ringer of St. Draco's Church? That is the church of the Church of Storms."
Although Kano has one leg long and one leg short, his walking speed is not slow. He who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned to look at Rawls without answering the question. His eyes were raised and lowered.
Staring at him, his face flickered in the light of the lantern.
"Okay, let me change the question. I just saw Mr. Cano in my spiritual vision..." Retreating in order to advance is also part of the rhetoric. Rawls immediately took a step back and asked what he really wanted to ask.
problem.
Kano retracted his gaze and limped forward in long strides. His voice was calm and without any ups and downs:
"I am not a person born naturally. I am a product made by the human body taught by Mother Earth. I am a relatively failed person."
"Made from the human body?" Rawls pretended to be a little surprised, catching up with him and walking side by side with him, "When I was in Bayam, I also met a creature made from life."
"Byam?" Kano, the bell ringer, stopped and asked, "Who is it?"
"She is different from you, Mr. Kano. She is a stone golem, and the person who refined her is not an 'ancient alchemist' from the Earth Mother Church."
Kano's eyebrows also moved up and down, and he sighed:
"I know who you are talking about. It must be the stone golem Romit made by Countess Dorothy Lovelace!"
"You know her?"
Rawls is really surprised now. Originally, he just wanted to find a reason to ask some things that he had wanted to know for a long time. Although the bell ringer Carnot may not know, he should more or less be able to get it from him.
know something.
"Let's talk while we walk, I have to ring the bell."
