Da da da……
The carriage stopped in front of the house number of No. 121 Brad Street. Jiang Chenchuan got out holding his familiar skull cane. The hoofs made a crisp sound on the road. The wheels rolled again and soon they drove out of the road. street.
There is always something reassuring about returning to a familiar place.
When he arrived home, it was bright and light, and there was even a gentle drizzle in the sky. He took the succulent potted plants placed on the balcony back into the house, and there was still a thin layer of gray dew on it.
It was a really bad night for him.
Ethan said that the Knights of the Pure Temple will handle all follow-up matters regarding Dawn Church, but for Dawn’s faith, Dawn Church will not disappear. The final result will probably be that the Central Order sends a new bishop to take over the church.
The streets slowly became lively, and people who got up early began to move around, while Jiang Chenchuan was about to fall asleep.
Hearing a commotion downstairs, Lochlan said hello to the old landlord, and then walked up. He didn't have much energy to get up and chat with him, so he simply said hello to Loklan. He curled up under the quilt and went to sleep.
When he wakes up, he has to go to the Polnya Museum and hand over the recovered relics.
Lockran will come here during this time to cook, clean the house, and take on commissions.
He was used to Jiang Chenchuan's appearance and appearance, leaving early and returning late. When Jiang Chenchuan was catching up on his sleep, he would also deliberately lower the sound of his work.
He was obviously very tired, but he didn't sleep very peacefully. He frowned from time to time, as if he was immersed in pain.
Picking up the skull cane and pressing the switch, the bloody sword blade inside was revealed. Lockran silently wiped the blood stains clean, then dipped a small amount of anti-rust oil into soft cotton gauze and applied it to the sword body. After doing everything , then set aside and wait.
The water in the pot was boiling, and today's ingredients were added to the pot. As soon as the soup was cooked, a faint knock on the door was heard.
Is it...the client?
Opening the door, I found that there was no one at the door, only the old landlord was busy downstairs.
Locklan lay beside the railing and asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Bourne, did someone come just now?"
"No, I didn't see anyone."
The landlord responded downstairs.
Lockran was confused. He wasn't sure he heard the sounds correctly. Since the landlord said there was no one there, he couldn't say anything more.
He went back to the house and closed the door in confusion, and also went to the bedroom to take a look at the situation. He was relieved when he saw that Jiang Chenchuan was still sleeping soundly.
After finishing the things at hand, he heated lunch and waited for Jiang Chenchuan to wake up before eating together. He put the staff and sword back into its sheath and turned it into a common skeleton cane. He gently leaned against Jiang Chenchuan's bed and put it down.
As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he heard another knock on the door.
Thinking whether it was someone's prank, Lockran angrily opened the door while someone outside knocked on the door for the second time.
did not expect,
It was Reina who came to visit.
"Hello...hello."
It was obviously Lockran's fierce face that frightened Lena, and she could only see her big innocent eyes staring at her, her emerald pupils shining brightly in the light.
"Um...I'm looking for Mr. Ivel."
Reina was wearing an off-white long dress today, with lace embroidery on the neckline and skirt. She looked light and agile, completely highlighting the youthful beauty of the aristocratic lady.
For a moment, Lochran didn't know what expression to use. He tried hard to appear friendly, but his face became more ferocious. Seeing Reina's increasingly uncomfortable expression, he patted his dark face with his hand and responded sheepishly. road:
"Evel is resting, come in first."
If he had known that Leina was here today to deliver entrustment rewards to Jiang Chenchuan, he would definitely behave more friendly.
"This is not my first time here. I have never seen you before..."
Rena nodded and walked in gracefully.
"My name is Lockran, and I am also a member of the Black River Detective Agency. I often come here to help. As you know, this guy Ivel is more... that is, if you have a commission, you can also come to me."
Locklan was a little at a loss.
But Lena didn't care about this. She gave Lockran some gifts she bought on the street corner, and the landlord asked her to bring today's "Black Hat Morning News".
Luo Clan was different from Jiang Chenchuan's reading habit. He had never liked words since he was a child. He felt that the stuff was long and cumbersome, and seemed to take a lot of effort. He just glanced at it briefly and threw it aside.
Reina stopped in front of the bookshelf, looked up at something, and then pulled out the book "Genesis" that she had bought on impulse when Jiang Chenchuan passed by the bookstore last time.
"Eh... weird."
Lena murmured to herself as she stared at the fabulous gold-gilded cover.
"What's wrong?"
Locklan was busy on the side, noticed the situation here, and asked casually.
"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Ivel should believe in the Church of Dawn. You see, the various books and teachings here are all related to Alona."
Rena carefully opened "Genesis". The book showed traces of being read, and there were notes written in some key places. However, the words used in the notes were very strange, crooked, and looked like three-dimensional squares. , completely incomprehensible.
As if she suddenly thought of something, Reina put the book aside and randomly pulled out the basic legend about the goddess of dawn, Elona. Compared with "Genesis", there are also traces of reading, but there are no corresponding notes on it. It is blank but well-preserved. It can be seen that Ivel is a book lover.
"Yes, do you also believe in Alona?" Lockran responded.
"No."
Lena closed the books gently and carefully returned them to their original places.
Turn around and show a cheerful smile.
"By the way, Mr. Lockran, this is the reward that Mr. Ivel received for accompanying me to Goat Town last time. Can I leave it here?"
"sure."
After hearing the response, Reina put the money bag on the desk. Jiang Chenchuan's desk could be considered a mess. Various materials and books were placed randomly. The most conspicuous thing was a gray iron box.
"Mr. Lockran, what is this?"
Before touching it, she vaguely felt that there was something inside. Rena was a little curious and pointed at the iron box and asked.
"have no idea."
Locklan took a look and saw that the box had been there since he arrived. It was probably handled by Jiang Chenchuan himself.
As if there was some kind of guidance, Rena felt a burning sensation on her neck, something was heating up.
He quickly took out the necklace, and sure enough, the flame on the ring was flashing faintly, and it looked like it was really burning.
The next second,
Black smoke billowed from the box.
