Mysterious Catastrophe

'However, I clearly feel that she has a crush on me, is it an illusion? '

'But it's not enough to give up this job just because of this, right? '

William is very worried, this is not the style of the people in the lower city.

'Perhaps... Isabeth was injured or seriously ill suddenly, I have to go and see her...huh?Isabeth hasn't told me what number Mary Street she lives in...'

William glanced at Aaron, who was leisurely reading the newspaper, and came to the bar.

Not long after, he came to Aaron with a tray full of snacks and fruits: "Boss... Would you like another cup of coffee?"

"Oh?"

Aaron glanced at William, with a mocking smile: "Didn't you always regard divination as hard schoolwork? You are so active today, who do you want to divination? Isabeth? By the way, she didn't come last night , should I fire her?"

"Boss... Isabeth told me that she was sick and wanted to take leave. I forgot to tell you last night."

In desperation, William began to learn to lie, but seeing Aaron's playful eyes, his voice became lower and lower.

"Ah……"

Aaron is not interested in these love affairs, but he does care about Isabeth's sudden absence.

After all, this may represent the investigation and imminent danger after the Baron's arson case last time!

"Aren't you going to make coffee?"

After teasing William enough, he finally spoke.

"Ok."

William stepped back immediately and made a cup of 'cappuccino' taught by Aaron. The latte art on it was perfect. It could be seen that his craft had been honed.

Aaron sipped his coffee slowly, flipping through the newspaper.

"Another large shop was looted... In response to the recent chaos in Pulmouth, 'Mommola Yard' decided to send more police patrols...'Magician' had a lot of fun."

"According to Langley Tanis, Copper Fell's bounty has increased again, and he also brought good news that the 'Professor' is about to finish his recuperation and return to Pulmouth..."

……

Aaron drank slowly on purpose, making William next to him feel that the time passed very long.

Finally, William heard Aaron's voice: "You can interpret it, but you'd better be mentally prepared..."

William's expression changed suddenly, and he stepped forward with slightly messy steps, staring at the pattern on the coffee tray - it was a crooked line, twisted like a snake!

"The serpentine shape... in coffee divination symbolism, represents death... But, it also has the connotation of healing, right, boss?"

William looked at Aaron with eyes full of expectation and longing.

"I am very satisfied with your progress to be able to understand this level... But sorry, this is the meaning of the first level. I used Isabeth as the main body to perform divination, and came to the conclusion that she is dead!"

Aaron was a little surprised, and could only sigh: "The world is impermanent..."

"Boss, what's going on?" William's eyes were bloodshot and moistened.

For him, Isabeth was still a real colleague and flirt a few days ago, and he really couldn't accept the fact that the other party died suddenly!

"I really want to do another divination... It may be that the force that persecuted you last time has come back and is taking revenge."

Aaron's expression became more serious, and he took out a gold pound coin.

With a clang, the coin was thrown into the air, and finally it turned up tails, which represented negative!

"It doesn't seem to be aimed at us..."

Aaron's expression became a little strange: "That's aimed at Isabeth herself! It's too common for someone to disappear at random in the lower town of Pulmouth. To find."

"No!"

William stretched out his hand and covered his mouth: "Isabeth... Is your divination wrong?"

"Ha ha……"

Aaron sneered, ignored William's various breakdowns, and continued divination.

After a while, his expression was slightly serious: "Isabeth's death...is related to religious places!"

"Religious places?!" William repeated this sentence, and the expression in his eyes gradually became firm.

Seeing this, Aaron could only sigh silently.

……

night.

Halsey's Moving Castle.

The living room on the third floor.

Aaron wore a silver mask and walked into the room with Halsey.

In the room, there is already a mysterious person waiting.

He wore a dark green robe and a thick bronze mask, revealing only a pair of brown eyes.

Occasionally, there was a sound as fine as insects crawling, coming from under his robe.

As soon as he saw it, Aaron frowned, feeling as if he had seen Roberts in the 'Nest', but it was somewhat specious.

"Let me introduce... this is Mr. Cocoon Man from the sect of the 'Desolation of Araki'!"

Halsey smiled and said, "He brought a legacy of 'chrysalis'."

"Good evening, Mr. Cocoon. I'm Green, a 'craftsman'..."

Aaron raised his hand to say hello, but he was even more vigilant in his heart.

The Religious Order of Arakiness is not simple. He had heard this name before in the spiritual world thousands of years ago.

"This sect worshiped Si Ming [Chrysalis] in the past, but now it may believe in Si Sui's "residual cocoon" or "Mrs. Lin Zhong"..."

The 'cocoon man' glanced at Aaron with his brown eyes, sat back on the sofa, stretched out a withered palm from under the black robe, pushed out a box, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Here is what you want, can you What reward is offered?"

"I want to see the material first..."

Aaron replied calmly: "If it satisfies me, gold pounds, inhuman magical items, and ancient knowledge are all fine..."

Halsey looked at Aaron in surprise, not expecting that the craftsman was willing to bleed profusely.

"very good."

On the arm of 'Cocoon Man', a black worm slowly crawled out from under the robe, and opened the box with its tentacles.

Inside the box is a white cocoon-like object, on the smooth silk, there seems to be a trace of light flowing.

'Cocoon Man' introduced: "It comes from a metamorphosis priest of our sect, and it is his remnant..."

Chapter 266 Investigation

Aaron looked at the cocoon, and his eyes instantly became pure white.

"It is indeed a remnant of the non-human existence of the path of the 'chrysalis'..."

"but……"

His gaze seemed to pierce the cocoon, and he saw a half-worm, half-human monster in it.

The monster had a silkworm-like body, but a human-like head, brown eyes, and extremely ferocious facial muscles.

"what!"

In the living room, Aaron screamed deliberately and covered his eyes.

"Green, how are you?"

Halsey stepped forward quickly, staring at the 'cocoon man' vigilantly.

The 'cocoon man' stood still, but there was a hint of sneer in his eyes.

"I'm fine..."

Aaron waved his hand, thanked Halsey first, and then looked at the 'cocoon man': "This is indeed an inhuman relic, but it contains strong spiritual pollution inside!"

In fact, after confirming it, he was ready to take this remnant.

No matter how strong the mental pollution and branding are, it is nothing to the 'false spirit', and can only become the raw material for him to make special bullets.

"Of course!" the 'cocoon man' replied without any surprise: "If the spiritual imprint and pollution contained in it were not strong, our church would have used it to cultivate a transformation priest, why trade it?"

Aaron smiled wryly: "That's true...Fortunately, I'm a 'craftsman', and I'm not going to swallow it for promotion...If I'm just creating magical items, I don't have to worry too much about internal pollution..."

"So... what's your price?" the 'cocoon man' asked slightly expectantly.

"How do you see it?"

Aaron took out a piece of jewelry that looked like a pendant, it was the 'Witch Pendant'!

A remnant of non-human existence can no longer be measured by gold pounds.

After all, the 'Bone Statue' is a well-known inhuman magical item, and its origin is somewhat troublesome, so it is not suitable for trading.

The appearance of the 'Bell of Death' and the 'Scale of Truth' in Liliat's hands will inevitably attract the Bureau of Investigation, and Aaron is still very useful and cannot be traded.

But 'Roberts' Magical Bug Box' can guarantee the innocence of origin, and its value is far more than a pollution remnant.

Because its negative effect is so small that it can be ignored, but it is extremely practical. It is definitely the most desired magical item of the secret organization, and it can be passed down from generation to generation as a trump card!

But Aaron was not happy, he was quite comfortable using the worm box, and it would be too bad to change it like this.

After much deliberation, it is best to trade off the deceitful 'witch pendant'.

When the 'witch pendant' appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of Halsey and the 'cocoon man'.

"Using this non-human level magical item, people can obtain extraordinary abilities of shadow, flame, and flesh and blood, all of which are very powerful..."

Aaron introduced: "And it has the negative effect of slightly tampering with the user's beliefs and body...Of course, this effect can be avoided, such as letting a woman hold it, and immediately transfer it to the next person after using it for a certain number of times. Or wait..."

"The negative effects of this magical item are too serious!" 'Cocoon Man' instinctively shook his head: "I will be at a disadvantage in exchange."

"This remnant of yours is also highly polluted. Even if it is successfully produced, it will be difficult to solve, and the negative effects may be more serious!" Aaron smiled and said: "The value of these two items is basically the same. You have to trust a 'artisan' ' judgment, of course, because I am asking for the purchase, so I am willing to make a concession, how about a compensation of 1000 pounds?"

'Cocoon Man' fell silent.

Indeed, if the remnants in his hands were made into magical items, the negative effects would probably be quite serious, which would also include the cost of casting and other materials for the craftsman.

He is willing to come, so he is naturally very inclined towards trading. Finally, the 'cocoon man' said: "At least I need to subsidize me by another 5000 pounds!"

"Let's take a step back, 1500 pounds is an appropriate price..."

Aaron bargained with a smile, and finally confirmed that he would exchange for the remnant of the 'chrysalis' with 3000 pounds plus the 'witch pendant'.

The entire transaction was witnessed by Mr. Halsey.

After the transaction was completed, the 'cocoon man' left immediately, acting quite mysteriously.

"Mr. Halsey, thank you for your help."

Aaron turned to thank Halsey: "The next batch of cabinets has been completed, and I will send them as soon as possible."

"That's good, I wish you success."

Halsey looked at Aaron with a smile, feeling more solemn in his heart.

Aaron seemed to sense Halsey's importance, and sighed silently.

This non-human being has quite good channels, but unfortunately, he can no longer continue to buy, otherwise the lies made up before will be exposed.

Moreover, Halsey also knows that he has an inhuman magical item that can drive bugs, plus the 'witch's pendant' is two pieces!At this moment, I'm afraid everyone is suspecting that he is an Extraordinary from a great force.

If you come up with a third one, Lord Halsey will probably go crazy...

'There are only 'Shadow' and 'Tower' left... The ritual requirements should also be prepared. '

Faced with Halsey's vague search, Aaron pretended to be unpredictable, but he began to make a plan in his heart...

……

the same moment.

Lower Town, Mary Street Church.

The cold wind was howling, and although there were street lights on the street, they had already been destroyed, and there were no people from the city hall to repair them.

Wrapped in a black overcoat and wearing a hat with the brim lowered, William stared at the chapel: "Religious places... this is the one nearby."
