He's really daring to ask for a price … Upon hearing the vampire's request, Klein was exasperated and amused.
He glanced at Bishop Utravsky and asked thoughtfully, "Father, can I borrow your candle?
It's the one from last time. I've forgotten its name. " Before Bishop Utravsky could answer, the vampire in the basement spoke in surprise.
Before Bishop Utravsky could reply, the vampire in the basement exclaimed in surprise, "That's right.
What do you want? " At this moment, Bishop Utravsky gently spoke.
"It's called the Mental Terror Candle. Why do you want to borrow it?"
At this moment, Bishop Utravsky gently said, "It's called the Mental Terror Candle.
Father, you're very cooperative. You even know how to ask … The corners of Klein's mouth curled up.
Father, you're very cooperative. You even know how to ask … The corners of Klein's mouth curled up.
"As you know, I have some special talent in this area. I'm very good at doing such things …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the vampire in the basement shouted, "Bastard, give up!"
"You'll be cursed if you do that to a noble Sanguine!"
"Doing this to the noble Blood Breeds will be cursed!"
"Hey hey, hey hey hey hey! I'll talk, I'll tell you the source of the Master Key! "
Klein immediately chuckled.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"Humph! That dirty old man's friend really isn't a good person! As a Sanguine, I'm already very restrained by only going to the hospital to steal blood from a blood bottle to drink. Why am I locked up here and listening to that long-winded housefly's Bible of Life every day!? "the vampire in the basement grumbled angrily.
Frankly speaking, if you're really the person you described and you met me, I would at most give you a warning or two. Unfortunately, when you got lost and entered this cathedral, you were facing a priest who used to kill people and loved to fight. He's now a pious, repentant, and fanatical believer. All I can say is that you're unlucky … However, Bishop Utravsky has already recovered from his illness, so he probably won't really hurt you. At most, he'll keep you by his side … Klein silently responded.
The vampire in the basement paused for a few seconds before saying,
"More than a month ago, I went to South Borough to steal a blood bottle to drink, but I ended up encountering a thief."
"He originally wanted to enter the hospital's financial office, but he got lost and opened the door of the blood bank. I caught him on the spot."
"He used that Master Key. He told me that he found it when he was stealing from a certain house. At the same time, he also obtained a pocket watch inlaid with diamonds. Yes, it's in the basement."
"At first, he thought that the key corresponded to a room or a safe, so he tried them one by one. In the end, he found that all of them could be opened. This was an unimaginable surprise for a thief. After that, he succeeded again and again until I caught him and confiscated the key."
"Damn it, I never thought that the key would make people lose their way!"
It matches the scene I saw in my divination … However, is there a curse on this Master Key? The previous owner was detained because he got lost, and the previous owner was also caught on the spot because he got lost … Perhaps, I really have to throw it above the gray fog and take it out when I need it. However, that would be a lot more troublesome. It might delay things … Klein controlled the changes in his expression and asked unhurriedly, "What's the matter?
"Did the thief say where he stole it?"
The vampire in the basement muttered, "You're doubting my intelligence.
"You're doubting my intelligence. How could I not ask about this?"
"He said it was at 48 Riverbay Avenue south of the bridge. I originally planned on investigating it when I had the time, but … Damn it!"
"Alright, I'm done answering. Don't disturb me anymore."
Klein didn't leave just like that. Instead, he slowly took out a half penny copper coin and recited softly, "That's right."
"He's lying."
…
After seven times, Klein's eyes darkened. He flicked the coin and watched it spin before landing in his palm.
This time, the head was up, indicating that it was positive.
In other words, the vampire was lying!
The contents of the thief's description match the scene I saw in my divination in many ways. It can't be fake … The vampire must have lied about the specific address! Klein looked at Bishop Utravsky and chuckled.
"He lied."
"Let me think, why would he lie?"
"It's very unwise for him to vent his anger and take revenge on someone who has nothing to do with me. It's also very disadvantageous to his situation."
"So, I think he's actually using this method to seek help. That address might very well belong to his companions. Father, aren't you going to take a look?"
The basement instantly fell silent. After a few seconds, the vampire laughed and said, "I just don't want to tell you so easily.
"I just don't want to tell you so easily. You threatened me just now, so I lied to take revenge. Isn't that normal?"
I can tell that he's forcing himself to calm down … Klein smiled.
"Then, what's the real answer? If you lie again, I don't mind sending this address to the three Churches. I'll just say that it's related to the recent serial murders. "
"… Humans are truly vicious …" The vampire gritted his teeth and sighed. "32 Verdi Street south of the bridge."
Klein tossed the coin again and received an answer that indicated that the vampire wasn't lying.
From the looks of it, vampires don't have the ability to interfere with divination … Hmm, I'll go above the gray fog to confirm it later … Klein pressed his hand to his chest and bowed towards the heavy stone door of the basement.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"Hmph." The vampire in the basement snorted in response.
Just as Klein turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly shouted, "Remember, my name is Emlyn White.
"Remember, my name is Emlyn White. Remember, my name is Emlyn White!"
What's the point of remembering your name? It's not like I plan on saving you. I'm not prepared, and I don't have the home field advantage. I can't beat Father Utravsky, and he has a mystical item that can transfuse blood … Hmm, could it be that this vampire's companion is offering a bounty for me, and he wishes for me to sell this information? Klein was taken aback for a moment before he walked out of the Harvest Church without a word.
He randomly found a secluded spot, removed the spirit pendulum from his left wrist, and did a divination about exploring 32 Verdi Street.
The answer he received was that there was a certain level of danger, but it wasn't too high.
There's a certain level of danger … Where is the danger? What kind of danger could it be? Klein seriously analyzed the situation and suspected that the Apprentice who had lost control and died had turned into a ghost-type monster due to his intense resentment. Furthermore, it was a relatively strong one.
That's not right. The thief clearly didn't encounter anything before coming out with the Master Key. Could it be that the danger lies in another secret location in the house? Klein thought carefully and felt that it was best for him to make sufficient preparations before heading there. It was to prevent himself from encountering an enemy that he found difficult to deal with with with his current Beyonder powers.
At the very least, I have to wait until I buy bullets that can purify wraiths and shadows … He nodded slightly.
With this consideration, combined with his previous battle with Dawn Paladin Bishop Utravsky, Klein suddenly felt that he could vaguely conclude the first rule of Magicians:
Don't perform when you're not prepared!
There's a high chance of being exposed … Klein silently added.
…
On Tuesday morning, Klein prepared the butter and toasted two slices of bread. He wasn't in a hurry to eat. He opened the door and took out today's newspaper from the mailbox.
Eh, there's a letter … He pulled out the letter from the newspaper and glanced at the envelope as he returned to the dining room.
It's from Stuart … It looks like he's already completed the preliminary investigation. Klein nodded slightly, tore open the envelope, and shook the paper. As he read, he sat at the dining table.
Stuart claimed that the two suspects didn't show any abnormal behavior. One of them guarded the grocery store with his wife and child, living a lifeless life. The other was busy with all kinds of temporary jobs, working tirelessly to maintain his livelihood. They weren't irritable, nor did they have the urge to fight. They also didn't lock themselves in their rooms alone.
At the end of the letter, Stuart lamented the terrible situation in East Borough and vowed to save enough money so that he wouldn't end up there when he grew old.
"Thank you for your help. If there are any other clues in the future, I'll share them with you." Seeing that the other party hadn't discovered any useful clues, Klein simply replied to the letter. He didn't want the other party to be more deeply involved in the case, lest the Devil sense the danger and kill the latent danger ahead of time.
After putting down the pen and paper, Klein picked up a piece of bread with butter seeping in. He spent his breakfast leisurely with black tea and newspapers.
During this process, he regretted that there were no signs of Old Mister Eye of Wisdom's Beyonder gathering being held.
Sigh, the existence of that Devil has seriously affected the lives of the Beyonders in Baekeland. I hope that Mr. Eichinger Stanton can notice my hint and gain something. Yes, he should be an officially 'certified' Beyonder … Klein put down the newspaper, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and prepared to leave.
His plans for today had been planned last week.
He was going to the Royal Museum to visit the Rosell Memorial Exhibition!
…
In Empress Borough, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
Audrey was wearing a long, light-colored dress that boldly used lace. She had snow-white fur draped over her shoulders as she waited for her personal maid, Annie, to help her put on a bonnet that was inlaid with pearls and draped with fine gauze.
Beside her, Susie was squatting there with a bow tied around her neck.
"My beautiful little princess, where are you going?" Earl Hall asked as he stroked his beautiful mustache as he walked down the stairs.
Audrey replied with bright eyes, "Dad, I plan on visiting the Rosell Memorial Exhibition."
I'll take a look at the original copy of Rosell The Great's diary and find a chance to get some for Mr. Fool … she added inwardly.
Earl Hall pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, I plan on visiting the Rosell Memorial Exhibition."
Earl Hall pondered for a moment and said,
"Why do you want to go today? There will be a lot of people, and it will be very chaotic. "
"Yes, I'll get someone to coordinate with the Church of Steam. After the official exhibition ends, it will be specially held for you and your friends for half a day. That way, you can have a quiet and undisturbed tour."
"If you have something you want to admire up close, you can discuss it with them directly."
Oh, that seems even better. I can directly read the diary in this exhibition … Audrey lifted the hem of her dress and bowed.
"Thank you, handsome Earl Hall ~"
