Chapter 162 Intelligence and Rewards

Shade walked out the door and didn't care if Hull Baron followed immediately , he walked along the corridor and found the long-awaited Miss Bayas at the corner. The young girl with long brown hair asked expectantly:

"How is it?"

"No problem. Hide away, he's coming."

Shade said, before complaining:

"It's a troublesome conversation between nobles and merchants, they talk about It seems that every word has three meanings."

"It's really hard for you. Detective, what reason did you use to draw Hull Baron out?"

Miss Beas asked curiously, as if she was studying.

"There is no reason, just a wink at him. For such a person, I don't believe that he is not curious about the meaning of the wink. He must not have imagined that he would meet him in the Duke's mansion. It's human nature."

Shade explained it briefly, and then counted three numbers in his heart. In fact, the number of three was twice, and the two of them really listened. Light footsteps on the other side of the corridor.

Miss Bayas gave the young detective a respectful look.

The next thing is very simple, Shade first saw the "interrogation skills" in the era of steam and mysterious coexistence.

First of all, as Hull Baron turns the corner curiously, Miss Bayas punches him in the face.

Afterwards, the two sneakily dragged the unconscious Hull Baron to the broom room on the third floor that Miss Beas had investigated in advance.

Finally, Miss Bayas tied Baron with the rope here, blocked Baron's mouth with a rag, put him in the broom closet, and put pen and paper in his hand. After confirming that there is no light in the broom room and that his appearance will not be revealed, he wakes him up with a rude method.

A pretty girl with long brown hair in a maid's costume, holding a sharp knife stolen from Sand Dragon, resting it on Baron's neck:
"I ask, you write the answer. If you don't cooperate, you will die."

She said fiercely.

Baron stared wide-eyed, struggled a bit and found that after being tied, he kept kicking. But because he felt the cold threat on his neck, he had to be honest. Because his mouth was gagged, he could only make a wu wu sound.

There was no light in the broomroom, and Baron could vaguely see that there was another person here besides the woman who was talking.

But before calling for help, another person also spoke up:

"MI6, you know what happens if you don't cooperate."

Shade pretended to be said in a gruff voice, in a very low voice.

Hell Baron's heart suddenly sank, but he knew how cruel these people were. Afterwards, he felt the knife on his neck tremble, and he almost cut a wound. So immediately nodded, did not dare to hesitate.

Actually, the shaking of the knife was just because Miss Beas was laughed at by Shade's "lie", she didn't expect the young detective to be so bold.

And if it wasn't for interrogation now, Shade really wanted to explain, at least this time, he really wasn't lying at all.

Even if it is a ring warlock organization, it is impossible to create gold pounds out of thin air. Although transcender and mystic are different from ordinary person, in this era of coexistence of steam and mysterious, you have to make money to support yourself, after all, everyone is mortal.

Therefore, Shade will be a detective, Dr. Schneider will not give up the clinic, Auguste priest will take the subsidy from the church, Miss Anat will work in the Society of Prophets, and Miss Luisa will rack her brains to write the manuscript.

Mystic organizations need relatively legitimate sources of funds to support the operation of the organization. Not to mention, most of the official members are ring warlock organizations, and need more funds to meet the needs of ring warlocks.

The Orthodox Church relies on the support of a large number of believers, so there is no need to worry about funding issues; the three major Mystic Art Academy have implicit and explicit related industries all over the world; not to mention the [Prophet Association], They not only monopolized the formal divination industry, but also held the right to issue Rhodes cards, which was considered by Dr. Schneider to be an industry of "direct printing of gold pounds".

Even a secretive organization like the Demoness Council, whose members seem to be either rich or rich, don't have to worry about the source of funding.

And obviously, [Blood of Mercury], an organization that targets a certain "relic", cannot make money on its own.

Most of the cults and illegal organizations have huge sources of funds behind them. Among them, obtaining funds from nobles or big businessmen is the most common way.

Miss Beas, who was born in the Orthodox Church, popularized this common sense to Shade. After all, the wealthy dare not touch mysterious easily, but they covet the power brought by mysterious, so the ring warlock organization can always find its own sponsor.

Hell Baron has been one of the sponsors of [Mercury Blood] since thirteen years ago. Quicksilver blood gets gold pounds from him, and Baron regularly gets some "potions" from quicksilver blood that an ordinary person can use to gain health, a longer lifespan, and a stronger man's abilities.

Although Miss Beas didn't say anything when she saw this information on the paper, she could tell from her humming that there must be something wrong with those so-called "magic medicine".

Hell Baron is not a person with a strong will and a disregard for life-threatening threats. He is just an ordinary rich nobleman, so he easily explained everything Miss Beas wanted to know.

This took a long time, during which Shade left the broom room early and returned to Sand Dragon in order to avoid suspicion. And Hull Baron came back after half an hour. He looked dazed, as if he had just woken up. It seemed that the memory-eliminating relic was really useful.

But now that Miss Beas has known her identity, she might be exchanged for credit by the female warlock of the Supreme Sun Cult Association at some point. Let him go now, just to prevent disturbing [Blood of Mercury].

Shade didn't see Miss Bayas for the rest of the night in Sand Dragon. He didn't like this kind of social activities very much, so seeing that the time was almost up, he took the initiative to find the old duke to say goodbye.

Duke Lucas regretted this, and invited Shade to come back to play Rhodes together when he had time:
"Remember to bring [Founding·Silver Moon], I will defeat it one day. ."

This kind of good attitude towards Shade definitely includes the reason of Lord's card, but the reason of Miss Galina should also be very important. Therefore, this once again made Shade understand how important it is to have a high-status noble backer in this world.

I came in a carriage, but I must go back on my own. With so much to gain tonight, he wasn't going to save money on renting the carriage. So I walked along the street to the intersection, where the four-wheel taxi carriage often stops.

The area where Duke Lucas's mansion is located is relatively densely equipped with gas street lights. Shade walked under the light, silently thinking about the gains and losses of the night. He was happy that he had no surprises on this weekend night when he was invited to play poker.

Then, a pair of hands stretched out from the alley on the side, directly covering Shade's mouth and pulling him into the alley where the street lights were not lit:

"Oh oh~ "

He made a strange cry, and the silver moon rays of light in his hand appeared, but went out immediately:
"Oh, Miss Beas, what do you want to do?"

p>

Those hands let go of him, turned around, and what he saw was the young female warlock of Supreme Sun Cult.

The young girl is still wearing a heavy maid dress with her hands folded in front of her, which is a very standard maid standing.

Iluna Beas stood in the shadows and looked at Shade with a smile:

"Detective, good evening, I just ran back and put the [Beast Tamer's memory eraser] ] Put it back where it should be. I'll pay you, and you've helped me tonight, so I won't treat my friends badly."

"Actually, you can go and find me at my place tomorrow. Yes, why didn't you change into a suit, which is very noticeable outside."

Shade points this out, standing with Miss Bayas in the shadows of the alley.

"I don't want to owe my friends. As for the clothes, when I spent the money to get rid of the original maid's shift, I bought the clothes together. She seems to want to make a fortune from me. This dress will be returned. It can only be exchanged at my place of residence. Detective, thank you for your help tonight, how much will you be paid this time?"

He took out his wallet. This uniform has pockets, after all, maids usually carry a lot of things on them.

"The remuneration can be discussed later. I'm curious, what did you ask?"

Shade was not there during the "interrogation" in the second half, and the information might be helpful Dr. Schneider looks for the [Forged Sage's Stone].

"It can't be said that those messages are related to the ring warlock, and you can't be easily involved, detective, curiosity will kill curious cats and people."

Bei Miss Yath refused Shade's inquiry out of kindness, and then shook her wallet:

"Detective, how much do you want? Although I'm not very rich, I still have some money. It's very rich."

Adding the tone of the last sentence Shade is very familiar with, he often speaks like this in this world.

She looked towards Shade while talking and holding her wallet. Shade blinked, and he understood that the other party really regarded him as a friend:

"Would you like to tell her I am."

Suddenly alert, and Beas Almost right after Shade, the young lady also turned her head and looked towards the location at the entrance of the alley. At some point, a man stood under the street lamp at the entrance of the alley. The gas lamp was originally warm, but when he stood there, the light became cold and gradually dimmed, like a tombstone standing under the lamp.

"Detective, back up."

Miss Beas stopped Shade behind her and took a few steps forward with a serious expression.

The man under the streetlight raised his head, his pale face reminding Shade of the corpse.

"A ring warlock or a humanoid relic?"

He asked in the heart, and the murmur in his ear immediately sounded:

【Ring warlock, I feel it Whisper element, he is using the power of the relic. ]
