Riggins is troubled.
He felt like he had been out of shape for months.
First, he sold the important sealed artifact notes as ordinary antiques, then he tracked Tingen but was inexplicably chased by the witch for half a month, and then he searched for the notes for more than ten days but found nothing...
This is simply unlucky!
June 27, evening.
In a hotel room on the Rue de Champagne.
Riggins suddenly felt something and looked in a certain direction outside the window.
It was an indescribable inspiration, an inexplicable attraction... His intuition told him that the source of his attraction was the Antigonus family notebook!
But, after just a moment, that feeling disappeared without a trace.
Riggins didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he jumped up from the bed, put on his coat as quickly as possible, and rushed in the direction that attracted him before.
It didn't take long for him to arrive in the Halls neighborhood and find Welch's residence.
But, it's already too late.
In the living room of the house, there are only two corpses with strange dead shapes, as well as the remaining traces and strange atmosphere of the black divination ritual. The most critical notes have disappeared.
Someone took it away!
No matter who he was, he was definitely not far away... Riggins had a sullen face and immediately tried to divine the whereabouts of the Antigonus family notebook again.
However, the black cane with the silk top covered with silk cloth has been spinning slightly in place since it was out of his grasp, and it no longer fell down to point out the direction as before.
damn it!
Their rituals gave the notes an anti-divination quality.
The weird atmosphere at the scene made Riggins feel a little creepy. After checking it for a while and finding nothing more, he decided to leave.
Before leaving, his blue eyes suddenly darkened.
Then, Riggins put his right hand into his arms and turned over the tie on his chest.
This is the anti-divination method mastered by the "Magician".
It is not limited to specific forms of expression. It only needs to encourage one's own spirituality and coordinate with any action that has the meaning of "reversal" to perform it.
Of course, this level of anti-divination would not be very effective.
But that's enough.
Riggins had not been at the scene for a long time, and he had not caused any damage to the traces of the scene. It was no problem for him to just hide that he had been there.
Riggins felt like things were starting to get out of his control.
He needs reinforcements.
After thinking for a while, he found a nearby telegraph office and sent a telegram to Backlund's companion, "Puppet Master" Rosago, who was in charge of protecting Ambassador Intis.
Of course, he still didn't reveal his fault, but found other excuses to ask for help.
After leaving the telegraph office, Riggins returned to Welch's home, found a secluded place, and began to closely monitor the tragic scene of the black divination ceremony.
He hopes to find the notes through the power of the police station and official extraordinary people...
Then, grab the notes first.
…
June 27, evening.
While Klein, Naya and Welch were performing a black divination ceremony, Valeela got out of the rented carriage with the support of her personal maid.
The first servant to be arranged was Valeela's personal maid.
Her name is Leah Hammond. She is 25 years old. She has long brown hair, a pretty nose, blue eyes, and her appearance can be said to be above average.
With Liya's "help", Valeela had to dress up more elaborately, piercing her ears and wearing some jewelry.
In front of her was a newly renovated garden villa.
The hedges and courtyard walls formed by shrubs have been well trimmed and arranged. The surface is green and smooth, and the height is controlled to about one meter.
It's just the right height.
It is neither too high to block the view nor too low to effectively separate the inside and outside.
In front of the black iron gate, servants lined up in two rows to welcome their master.
Specifically: two first-class maids responsible for the bedrooms, two second-class maids responsible for the living room, two footmen responsible for receiving guests and serving at the table, a chef, a home nurse, a chef's assistant, and two carriages Husband, two gardeners, a store maid, a kitchen maid, two scullery maids, a laborer, and two menial servants.
20 people in total.
If you include the expenses of food, clothing and various daily necessities, plus the salary of the housekeeper, the weekly cost of raising such a group of people will be at least 20 pounds.
Valeera estimated that the 1,200 pounds she had previously given to Kana may now have little left.
This is the price of respectability and the threshold for entering upper class society.
The housekeeper Kana stood at the front, in the middle of the two lines, to greet Valeera.
Behind Kana, at the front of the two rows of servants were Burton and Makarov.
They served as housekeeper's assistant and household property manager respectively.
This is their official position, as the deputy to the male and female housekeepers, but in fact it is a sinecure. Even if they do nothing, Valeela will not criticize them harshly.
Accompanied by the housekeeper Kana and the personal maid Liya, Valeela smiled at the two rows of servants on the left and right, passed between them, and came to the main entrance of the three-story building.
Of course, her smile was mainly for two acquaintances.
The butler David, who had been waiting at the main entrance for a long time, opened the door at the right time.
…
June 28, early morning.
It didn't take long for Zhou Mingrui to remember the suspected culprit that caused him to travel through time.
It was recorded at the beginning of a thread-bound vertical version of "Minutes of Secret Alchemy of Qin and Han Dynasties", a "Transfer Ceremony", a simple ceremony with extremely simple requirements and without any foundation.
Just make four portions of the staple food in your area and place it in the four corners of the room. This can be on the table, cabinet, etc. Then stand in the center of the room and walk out of a square in four steps counterclockwise. The first step is to sincerely recite " "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", the second step is to silently recite "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", the third step is to silently recite "Fusheng Xuanhuang God", the fourth step is to silently recite "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", after finishing walking, close your eyes and wait for five minutes. , the ceremony is considered a success.
With the mentality that he didn't need any money anyway, he tried it once.
Who would have thought that this "transfer" is not that "transfer"!
This time he tried, he was "transported" to a place that looked like medieval Europe!
After figuring out the possible reasons, Zhou Mingrui immediately decided to find an opportunity to try the "transfer ceremony" again tomorrow!
No matter what, he had to give it a try!
Even a dead horse must be treated as a living horse doctor!
…
Zhou Mingrui spent the rest of the night "watching" the memory fragments of Klein in his mind.
By the time Melissa got up in the morning, he had already assumed the role of Klein and would not reveal any obvious flaws.
