Edmund shook his head regretfully and said to Arthur: "As far as I know, that kind of special medicine has not been fully researched yet. Maybe only your teacher, Professor Bell, knows the real formula!"
Arthur was stunned when he heard this. If he was just afraid of Professor Bell's daughter, as Edmund said, she would probably have been killed.
"Mr. Doyle, actually you can really think about it carefully. It is said that this drug has great medical value."
Old Edmund couldn't help but persuade him again.
It was impossible for Arthur to agree, but he asked him again: "Why don't you go to my teacher, Professor Bell?"
Old Edmund spread his hands and said, "I have looked for it a long time ago, but he said that the formula had been destroyed at that time."
Arthur's heart moved when he heard this. Doesn't this mean that Olivia is the only one in the world who can extract this super drug.
"Since the professor doesn't remember the formula, why do you think Arthur will know it?"
Jabi couldn't help but object to Edmund.
Although he still doesn't understand the meaning of this medicine, with such huge benefits, it's hard to say that someone won't secretly take advantage of Arthur.
Old Edmund smiled, "In addition to opium, there is also a medicine called Dream on the market, which is almost as effective as opium. But the cost is higher than opium. However, my researcher once told me that this If this medicine can be successfully researched, it will be a hundred times more powerful than opium."
Arthur was speechless for a moment. It turned out that he was the fault of talking too much.
"I have a question to ask you."
Seeing Arthur suddenly being polite to him, Edmund hurriedly replied: "If you need any help from me, just ask."
Arthur has now discovered the face of capitalists, and there is really no limit.
"Do you know about the kidnapping case of Professor Bell's daughter, Alex?"
Edmund didn't expect Arthur to ask about this. He couldn't help but take two deep puffs on the cigar, which also caused a cough.
Arthur saw that this old guy obviously knew something about this case, but it seemed that he was not willing to talk about it.
Sure enough, after Edmund pondered for a while, he slowly said: "I have some understanding of this matter, but it also involves some upper-level secrets, so it's not easy for me to tell you."
When Arthur heard that he had reached the upper level, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Needless to say, the only people that old Edmund could refer to as the upper class were the royal family, but this was something Arthur never expected.
Bond on the side also began to connect the relationships between several cases, and then he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
He now has the idea of withdrawing from this case immediately.
In this way, everyone had their own thoughts and ended the dinner hastily.
Baron Locke returns to his mansion, and Edmund and Bond stay at the manor that night.
Old Edmund came to a blank wall and said with emotion: "The portraits that originally hung here were all portraits of the Childe family, and among them the portraits of Lien were the most numerous."
Speaking of Lien, Jabi next to him immediately became upset.
"Can you tell me why your sister was put in an iron coffin and sunk into the lake?"
Old Edmund shook his head, "I know you don't believe me. In fact, I don't know much about this matter. Because I was working out of town at that time. When I came back, my father told Li En that she had fallen into the water and drowned. In the lake, not even the body was found.”
Arthur didn't believe a word of what he said, so he couldn't help but mocked: "The expression on your face when you saw the iron coffin today was not what you said."
Edmund didn't expect Arthur to keep staring at him, and couldn't help but sigh, "That's because my sister Lien has been different since she was a child. Later, she found the church. They once suggested that after Lien's death, It’s best to put her in an iron coffin to prevent her soul from disturbing the peace of the world. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when I saw the iron coffin.”
Although Edmund didn't say it clearly, Arthur could guess that Lien must be possessed by a demon, but he didn't know how powerful it was and how it could affect the peace of the world.
Edmund returned to the old house and was filled with emotion. The memories here were not good for him, so he sold the place to Jabi.
At night, Arthur did not sleep in the hall again, but stayed next door to Jabi on the second floor.
The weather was rarely sunny during the day, but a strong wind suddenly blew at night, and his window faced the head of the bed.
The dry branches outside the window were swayed by the strong wind, and would hit the glass from time to time. In the dark night, they looked like ghost hands trying to reach in.
Arthur couldn't help but feel a chill, which reminded him of Jabi next door. He wondered if he was still as satisfied with the mansion as he was when he first bought it.
The strong wind blew the branches, creating a strange whining sound, which actually made Arthur unable to sleep for a while.
I stayed up until most of the night and then slowly fell asleep.
As his soul roamed, the building was still splendid, and Arthur began to inspect the rooms one by one.
The first thing he saw was James Bond. His soul light was not pure, and it could be said that it was a bit messy, but because of his profession, Arthur was not surprised.
He is not the kind of person who can be judged as good or bad based on his soul light alone, and the shape of Bond's soul has not changed, which shows that his belief is very firm.
He came out of his room and walked into Edmund's room, but there was no one on the bed.
Staying up so late immediately aroused Arthur's curiosity.
After some searching, he finally found a passage above the hall on the second floor.
Since there was no door, Arthur walked directly along the passage.
Not long after entering, a white light shot out from around the corner, as if there was something inside that was emitting a strong light.
Arthur began to approach carefully, and slowly looked inside from the corner. He saw a room that was not spacious, and Edmund was standing in the middle.
Under his feet was a magic circle that seemed to have existed a long time ago, and above his head, the delicate box was spinning.
This box had always been in Arthur's hand. I don't know when it was stolen by this old guy.
At this moment, the box was glowing with golden light in the air and kept making "click" sounds.
The six box surfaces began to recombine continuously. The original six-sided formation actually changed its shape as it continued to change.
Suddenly there was a "click", and the small box stopped in the air as if it had triggered some kind of mechanism.
But in the next moment, countless thin chains shot out from the box, with countless hooks on the chains.
When Edmund saw this scene, he was so frightened that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
He was seen hurriedly cutting his left hand with a knife, and then desperately sprinkling blood on the small box in the air.
After the small box sucked his blood, all movements stopped.
But Edmund still seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, constantly feeding the small box with blood.
It wasn't until Edmund almost fainted that the small box finally fell from the air, landed on the ground, and rolled several times.
Edmund sat on the ground with lingering fear and glanced at the box with disgust, but in the end he reluctantly picked it up.
Then he exited the passage very slowly. Arthur did not follow Edmund, but started spinning around in the secret room.
Because there is an altar inside, and the totem on it is a kind of double-headed eagle monster.
Arthur couldn't help but secretly scold Edmund, an old guy. He knew everything but didn't tell him.
He clearly felt the powerful magic contained in the totem.
Arthur was still hesitating whether to destroy the altar in front of him. Suddenly, the double-headed eagle totem seemed to be alive. It opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of flames at Arthur.
Arthur could clearly feel that the flames were the fire from hell. Arthur quickly activated the nursery rhyme halo and let it protect him.
"Insignificant human being, I bring you Beelzebub's greetings!"
"You know Beelzebub, that's great, tell him if I ever see him again I'm going to kick his ass."
Arthur was in bragging mode again.
However, the double-headed eagle was not angry. After hearing this, it laughed loudly and screamed "Quack!"
"This is really a pleasant thing. I will record all your words, human, and I will definitely forward them to Beelzebub."
As it spoke, it began to flap its wings, as if it was really about to fly out of the wall.
"Is it so funny? I wonder what you call it?"
All the movements of the laughing double-headed eagle suddenly stopped at this moment.
"Cunning insect, do you want to expel me from this world through my name?"
There was nothing to hide, Arthur nodded honestly.
"You are right, then do you dare to let me know your name?"
"Hahaha! You know my name, but there is a price, if you are willing to dedicate your body."
Arthur hurriedly waved his hand to stop it. He didn't know what happened, but all the demons who met him wanted to take over his body.
The double-headed eagle seemed not to give up, and continued to seduce: "My ability is the favorite of all humans in this world. As long as I wave my hand gently, I can make you the richest person in the world." "
But Arthur didn't feel anything. He had been tempted by money and beauties a long time ago, so he said rudely: "You devils, it's so old-fashioned. Apart from money and beauties, you can't add anything else." !”
"My money is different from others. In fact, the devil can only give you the opportunity to earn wealth, but I am different. I can throw wealth directly to you."
Arthur didn't understand, so he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Just throw away the wealth? How do you want to throw it away?"
When Arthur was still doubting, he saw the double-headed eagle suddenly had his hands filled with gold, as well as some diamonds and jewelry.
He said to Arthur: "As long as you promise to believe in me, these wealth will be yours."
