Chapter 194: Meeting at Night

Alger said in the last Tarot meeting that he could find the "Horn of the Black Snake with Flickering Stripes". Unexpectedly, this gentleman's efficiency is quite high, and he has successfully obtained it on Thursday.

Abner received the message from Mister Fool before dinner, and then held a ceremony of "accepting the gift" and received the materials.

Xio looked at the black sharp corners that seemed to have an electric current flashing faintly in front of him, pursed his lips, but did not refuse, but asked after putting it away, "How much did it cost?"

Knowing Hugh's temperament, Abner neither pretended to be generous nor took the opportunity to increase the price, but replied honestly: "700 gold pounds."

Speaking of which, Abner did not hold another "sacrifice" ceremony to send the money to Alger, but deducted the reward offered by "Laugher" Langman and the quotation of some "Wind Blessed" formulas. After all, at present The cost of holding a ceremony is not low, save as much as you can.

"I will raise enough money for you as soon as possible." Xio nodded seriously.

"Don't be in such a hurry..." Abner shook his head with a smile, and asked casually, "How is your 'sheriff' digesting?"

After thinking about it for a while, he replied, "It should take another four or five days to digest it."

"So fast?" Abner was a little surprised. He remembered that Hugh became a "sheriff" in East Chester County, and it has been a month at most...

Hugh is like this, Jane is like this, only Aitris is more normal...

"After knowing the acting method, I have been actively maintaining the order in the East District, and successfully prevented many criminal acts I identified, so I have received a lot of feedback."

It turns out that the core of the role of the "sheriff" is to actively eliminate the acts of disrupting order that he believes?

Abner nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, Xio recounted what he had seen and heard at Mr. A's party, and finally said: "Prepare a room for me, I will stay with you today."

"What?"

"It's too late, the subway is out of service."

...

Tingen, Narcissusstrasse 2.

At eleven o'clock at night, Klein and his brother and sister said good night to each other, and then returned to his bedroom again.

He sealed the room spiritually,

Then he walked four steps backwards and came to the ancient palace above the gray mist.

Sitting in the seat belonging to "The Fool", Klein spiritually touched a star entwined with a little bit of golden light, which was a crimson star symbolizing Hugh.

Before, when he helped the "Hanged Man" give the "horn of the flashing black snake" to the "tower", he saw the golden light shining on it, knowing that it was the "tower", and held an exorcism ceremony for the girl named Xio , the "channel" was reinforced again, but he didn't have time to look carefully at that time, so he could only watch the "video" back and forth in the dead of night.

Then, he witnessed the petite Ms. Hugh leaving a magnificent garden villa after the exorcism ceremony, and then went to Backlund East District to deal with various disputes among ordinary people, chasing down "the one who disrupted the order she established." Criminal", in just one afternoon, she successfully prevented a potential vicious crime and saved the lives of two families...

"Video" until she was going to meet up with a friend in Queens, and together they waited for a lady named Audrey to attend an extraordinary party.

But just before Xio was about to arrive at the target building in Queens, the scene stopped abruptly.

It broke again... Klein sighed helplessly, then tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers, and thought seriously:

"Judging from this 'video', Miss Hugh is a person with a strong sense of justice and principles in her actions! No wonder Mr. Tower trusts her so much and calls her a 'reliable' person... It seems that And it's not just because of their close relationship.

"In addition, Ms. Hugh has a very wide network of contacts in Backlund East District and the dock area, and she is deeply trusted by the people in her 'jurisdiction'. Whether it is an ordinary worker or a gangster, as long as it is not the kind of vicious person, you will be able to deal with trouble. I am willing to let her arbitrate for everything...

"Finally, although it is not shown in this 'video', this lady probably has an official background, otherwise her many slightly out-of-the-ordinary behaviors may have provoked the intervention of the police.

"Well, abide by principles, be kind, not high in rank, have her own circle of information and resources... Generally speaking, this lady is indeed a good candidate for a member of the Tarot Society...

"After I advance to Sequence 8, I can consider dragging her into the gray mist...Of course, the premise is that she is willing."

Thinking of this, Klein wrote a new divination statement on the parchment that appeared:

"Miss Hugh joining the Tarot Society will bring me danger."

Putting the pen away, he untied the pendulum wrapped around his wrist, held it firmly with his left hand, and let the citrine pendant hang at the position where it was about to touch the parchment.

After reciting it silently seven times, his eyes darkened, and the pendulum in his hand began to rotate slightly, counterclockwise.

The answer is no, no...

Klein nodded, and then he realized that it was very late, so he hurriedly left the palace above the gray mist and "returned" to his bedroom.

He lifted the spiritual blockade, then stood in front of the desk, and looked out of the oriel window with the light of the gas lamp. At this time, the surrounding block was dark, with only a few street lamps guiding the direction, and the stars in the sky were embedded in the black On the curtain, bit by bit, it is not clear.

"It turns out that Backlund, which is known as the 'Land of Hope' and the 'City of Ten Thousand Capitals', looks like that... I thought that only Tingen could go down the street... From Miss Hugh's perspective, you can see the East District of Backlund The people in some areas are worse than the lower streets of Tingen!" Klein whispered silently, reaching out to hold the curtain, ready to pull it.

Woo!

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past without warning, and the window of his bedroom opened by itself.

Klein subconsciously took a few steps back, and instinctively tapped his left teeth twice. At the same time, he leaned against the head of the bed, trying to get the pistol under the pillow.

But at this moment, a slender lady suddenly jumped in from the window with the help of a special spirit body. She was wearing blue eye shadow and blush, showing a kind of bewitching beauty.

It was Ms. Daly whom Klein had only met at the Blackthorn Security Company this afternoon.

"Don't be so enthusiastic, I can't bear your bullets." Ms. Daly looked at the black muzzle of the gun and said with a smile.

"Ms. Daly?" Why did you come to me in the middle of the night? Klein asked dumbfounded. However, he did not let down his vigilance, because it is also possible that someone else is pretending to be Dali.

"It's me... I know that this kind of visit is too rough, and I should give you some hints to make you fully prepared... But, I actually did it on the spur of the moment, out of necessity." Ms. Daly replied with a smile.

Although it still feels unbelievable, it is indeed Ms. Daly's speaking style... Klein secretly slandered, and asked without lowering his gun:

"Ma'am, what did you come to see me for?"

"If I were you, I would first seal the bedroom with spirituality. Otherwise, your family may have some misunderstandings when they see me in your bedroom at this time." Daly glanced at the direction of the door and said with a smile. joked,
