Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 143: A little trouble

Because the St. Gutenberg Cathedral is not far from the Linden Street, the carriage stopped at the office's door within ten minutes of getting on the bus. After getting out of the car, Safir walked up to the front steps of the office and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened, and the one who opened the door for them was Fatina in home clothes.

  

   "Ha, Safir, you are back." After seeing Safir walking to the front, Fatina greeted with a smile, and then she saw Lawrence following behind. "Lawrence is back with him?"

  

   "Yes, I must be back after the match." Lawrence said and hung his coat on the hanger, and then they walked over to the living room and tea room on the first floor.

  

"Can you tell me what you encountered in this competition?" After making two cups of green tea, Syfiel put his face on his hand and looked at Lawrence and asked, "Yesterday I went to the St. Gutenberg Cathedral and asked about it. Then the young priest named Peter told me that you were showing up in the competition this time."

  

   "Peter is my friend, so he must be bragging when he said me." Lawrence took a sip of the bitter tea and said with a smile. "Of course, this game does have some thrills. For example, a certain kobold leader and the dragon's remnant soul behind him created a conspiracy beyond everyone's expectations—"

  

In the next half an hour, the three of them shared the story of this adventure with a slightly bitter tea and a plate of freshly baked butter cookies, although in the process Lawrence always felt that the oriental-style green tea paired It's a bit strange to eat with butter.

  

   In the narration, Lawrence only concealed the last part of the dragon's remnant soul that was completely controlled by the Baize phantom in his mind, and all other things were truthfully stated. The thrills and excitement caused the two ladies to cry out in small exclamations from time to time.

  

   After the narration of the whole game process was over, the two ladies still recovered from a trance for a while. Although both of them are extraordinary, but such fierce battles have never experienced before. So for them, what Lawrence said really shocked them.

  

   "This is so handsome." After slowing down, Syfiel exclaimed to Lawrence. "At least I don't think I can do it perfectly in that situation."

  

   "It's actually nothing." Lawrence smiled at the admiration of the two ladies and shook his hand. "After all, there is a lot of luck in all this."

  

   His words were not only to the two ladies, but also to Laurence himself as a reminder. Relying on luck sometimes I can achieve unexpected gains, but luck is only temporary, and it will not bless someone forever. If you want to truly gain the initiative, strength is the most basic.

  

   For example, if Lawrence hadn't been upgraded to an official-level warlock after entering that astral plane this time, the Bai Ze phantom in his mind might not be able to withstand the mental impact of the professional-level kobold leader. Not to mention that he defeated the kobold leader head-on in the battle.

  

   From another perspective, if Lawrence and the kobold leader are also professional-level transcendents this time. Then when he faced the leader of the kobold head-on, he would be able to defeat the guy who was trapped in the astral plane with inadequate knowledge, and he would not have to take risks to reluctantly defeat him in the end.

  

   After a few seconds of reflection, Lawrence raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, then turned the subject off and asked Syfiel. "On my way here, I heard you say that our firm has encountered a tricky thing, but you only said half of it. Can you tell me the specific situation now?"

  

   "Of course you can," Saifier said. "Didn’t I tell you that we went to investigate an upper-class gathering, and found nothing related to transcendence, but that time we completely hammered the fact that Mrs. Buss was derailed. After returning, We handed over to Mr. Bath the photo-taking stone that recorded the part of the meeting about Mrs. Bath.

  

   "Of course, we naturally remember to blur the other people before handing over the photo stone." Fatina added. "After all, we have a bottom line and will not invade other people's privacy."

  

   "Mr. Bass looked very excited after he got the photo-enhancement stone and looked at it—" Saifei was suddenly interrupted by Lawrence as soon as he said this. "Excited? I was so excited after seeing my wife cheating. Isn't this Mr. Buss having a brain problem?"

  

   "We thought so at the time." Saifeier shrugged and said, "Because his reaction is obviously different from normal people, Fatina thought he was irritated and crazy."

  

"But then we learned that this Mr. Bath and his wife had never had children, and that he and his lover outside had a seven-year-old son, so he wanted to divorce his wife a long time ago for the heir. Only once he divorced he He has to allocate a large sum of money to his wife. He has always hoped that he can find his wife’s fault and pay less or even no divorce fees."

  

   "Because of this, we have always suspected that his wife's derailment was related to him. It's just that we don't have any evidence." Saifier showed a look of disdain. "Then the next day, he brought his lover and his son to us and said that he was going to pay us the rewards for completing the commission."

  

   "Although we don't really like this kind of scumbag, we don't have to have trouble with money." At this point, Fatina spread her hands. "Especially the amount of money he said before is too much for us to refuse at all."

  

"After they arrived, we naturally invited them into this living room to entertain them with tea and snacks. The whole process should say that everyone had a good chat. So when he was about to leave, in addition to the money he had said before, he also agreed Give us an extra money."

  

   "But at this time because of my babble, it messed up." Fatina said with a bit of frustration, but when Syfiel heard her say this, she immediately leaned over and gently stroked her back and comforted her. "It's not to blame you. I can only say that Mr. Buss got retribution for being a scumbag."

  

   "What are you talking about?" After listening to the conversation between the two ladies, Lawrence looked at them both with a confused face. "What kind of retribution, what are you two talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

  

   "This is the situation." Fatina explained to Lawrence after stroking her beard with her paw. "When I sent them out, I smelled a familiar smell from that child. It was the smell of a long-lasting hair dye made by one of my uncles. So I told Mr. Buss, your child is this age. It's best not to use hair dye, otherwise it is easy to bald at a young age."

  

   "As a result, as soon as I finished talking about Mr. Bath and his lover's face, Mr. Bath directly stared at me with a serious face and asked if what I said was true."

  

"I assured him that it was absolutely true, and told him that this hair dye invented by my uncle was only popular in the upper class of the city, and not many people outside know about it. I can recognize it purely because of the previous few Nian once helped my uncle to configure this hair dye with a little extraordinary effect~lightnovelpub.net~ I also told him that this thing is very easy to distinguish, as long as you can find any extraordinary person, you can see it "Fatina Finally, he said, "Then Mr. Bass grabbed his lover's arm and the child's arm very rudely and went out. I saw him shove the two people into the carriage very rudely."

  

   "What color are the hair of the three of them?" Lawrence thought he could probably guess the reason why Mr. Bass was angry, but he had to check with Fatina.

  

   "The girl is blond, and both he and the child look brown." Fatina briefly recalled and said.

  

   "Well, I know what happened." Lawrence raised the corner of his mouth slightly. It seems that Robert Baratheon's experience in "A Song of Ice and Fire" is also a realistic example. "So he didn't pay us those rewards?"

  

   "No, he will pay us the next day." Saifei shook his head. "It's just that for us, the really tough problems are only now starting."
