"This is a spirit pendulum"

At 36 Zotland Street, Kurtis is teaching Lucid some occult knowledge.

Although much of this knowledge was already mastered by her, there were also some details that she hadn't noticed before.

Coupled with Curtis’s vivid and detailed explanation, she is still very interested in this "occult course" in general.

But even if Lucid is not interested, she has to learn

Since "Sister Frein" is a "novice" who "knows nothing" about mysticism, she can't perform some outing tasks for the time being.

Now she is just doing chores and organizing paperwork in the "Black Thorns Mercenary Group".

And thanks to the "noble sister" persona, plus the generous and generous meeting ceremony at the beginning, other people in the "mercenary group" also generally have a good blessing to her.

So even if she has chores, she is rarely asked to do it.

The days went by when I was fishing in troubled waters like this.

Lucid's daily life in the "Black Thorn Mercenary Group" is to sort out various data files, and if Kurtis has time, he will teach her the knowledge of mysticism.

At this time, during the "class", there was a sudden change at the door of the "Black Thorns Mercenary Group".

A middle-aged man dressed in formal clothes and dressed as a housekeeper broke into the premises despite the obstruction of the receptionist "Walter".

He looked flustered and untidy, with a look of grief and anger on his face, and pleaded cryingly.

"Please, please help my young master. I know you are not an ordinary mercenary group. You can definitely do it."

This somewhat exaggerated tone made Lucid look at him.

At this time, the muscular Walter, who was wrapped in a turban, also reacted. He walked over and pulled him to drive out.

"Sir, let's find someone else if we don't take you for this task."

Seeing this, the housekeeper slapped Lai disregarding his image, and sat down on the ground, sadly said.

"Why the goddess is not willing to save my young master"

Hearing this, Kurtis sitting next to Lucid frowned and couldn't help but wonder.

"Is your young master also a believer in the goddess?"

The butler sitting on the ground seemed to have grasped the straw, and said hurriedly

"Yes, we are all believers of the goddess"

Curtis stood up, approached and asked

"Why not take this task"

A trace of struggle appeared on Walter's face, hesitating.

"This is what the captain meant"

Kurtis looked a little angry, snorted coldly, squatted down and asked the housekeeper.

"What is your young master's name, and what's the situation now?"

Just as he was inquiring, Monaghan walked out of the "captain's room", puzzled.

"What's the situation?"

After understanding the situation, he frowned and said solemnly

"Sorry, we won't take this task."

"why"

Kutis and the butler both wondered at the same time.

Coutis’s tone was doubtful, as if a little unwilling; but the butler’s tone was even more painful, like a kind of desperate blessing watching the life-saving straw break.

Turning his head, Monaghan's eyes flashed with a struggling, cold voice

"Not why, if you don't answer, you don't answer."

After that, he immediately returned to the regiment's room.

Curtis glanced at the desperate butler, and followed into the head of the regiment's room.

After a quarrel, he walked out with an ugly face and left 36 Zotland Street.

Seeing this scene, Lucid narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but wonder.

Why did the captain refuse to accept this task?

As in the original book, the "Mercenary Corps" also accepts some piecemeal tasks in their free time, and these Lucid have seen it many times.

What's more, this housekeeper and his "young master" are both the goddess of the night, so it makes no sense to refuse.

Why is this

Lucid couldn't help but become interested in it.

But with her current status, it's not good, she had to suppress her curiosity first.

Kurtis left as if outrageous, and he had nothing to do now.

Turning his eyes, he immediately got up and walked into the bathroom.

Lucid didn't want to use the "dream divination method" in the bathroom, so he had to compromise, and first simply use the "spiritual pendulum method" to quickly foretell the doubts in this matter.

Took out the ruby ​​pendulum and muttered silently

"The captain does not want to accept this task"

After reciting silently seven times, she opened her eyes.

"what"

Frowning, looking at the ruby ​​pendant rotating counterclockwise, I couldn't help but start to wonder.

According to the divination results, Monaghan did not want to accept the task.

Stroked his chin, thoughtfully

"Then why did the captain refuse?"

Since it's not that I don't want to, it's not that I can't.

Lucid was even more curious.

After taking a look at the bathroom environment, he couldn't help but curl his lips, dispelling the idea of ​​divination here.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lucid returned to his seat.

The housekeeper is no longer here, and she feels like she has nothing to do for a while.

After getting off work, I can’t wait to return to the garden villa in Jinwutong District, UU reading www. uukanshu.com started divination in the bedroom.

In the dream territory, Lucid saw Monaghan in the leader's room, reading a letter.

"what"

I can't help but feel a little surprised. Looking at the form of this letter, it is indeed a letter from the night watcher.

As a "civilian", she naturally knows this.

When she was wondering, the dream suddenly ended.

He opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.

The familiar flower panels, the curtain of the big bed, and the hanging crystal lamp in the bedroom all kinds of waved hands reflected in her eyes, and reality quickly defeated the illusion.

"This is really interesting"

Yigulu sat up, cross-legged thinking.

The decision not to accept this task was actually an order from the night watcher

This is really rare.

Carefully recalling the descriptions of the housekeepers he heard in "Black Thorns", Lucid stroked his chin, trying to find some valuable clues.

"According to his words, his young master has disappeared inexplicably "The Wind Chime""

As if suddenly remembering something, she suddenly got out of the bed and walked out of the bedroom into the study.

In the pile of newspapers on the desk, I began to search.

After searching, Lucid finally found a newspaper from yesterday.

The headline on the newspaper is impressively written with a few words in Ruen in bold

The weird incident of the cargo ship "Windbell"

Frowning, she carefully read the details of this report.

After a while, Lucid touched his chin and murmured

"The cargo ship and cargo are intact, and the crew and passengers are missing",,
