章 246: Susie's Growth
As soon as she said that, Fani noticed Xio and Jane looking at her. She blinked and suddenly realized that she had been questioned. She hurriedly explained,
"Ah, I don't mean to be dissatisfied, I'm just a little surprised… You should know that during the past few days, I've been going through all the books that I brought back from the tomb, but I haven't found any suitable passcodes…"
Hey, Miss. The descendant of the grave you dug up is sitting here. Although she had dug up her ancestor's mausoleum herself, she might not necessarily be willing to let others do the same…
After lampooning in his heart and seemingly pondering for a moment, he said to Fani, "I have indeed translated the baron's diary, but there's some knowledge that's very dangerous, and I can't tell you directly… How about this, forward what I've said to Ema. If she still wants to hear it after knowing, I'll find some time to tell her something less dangerous…"
Why did she say it to Emma instead of telling me? Fani wanted to ask, but then she thought of something and shut her mouth, reluctantly nodding.
Ebner could tell at a glance what she was thinking, but he didn't change his mind. Although Miss Emma was a believer of Storms and was reckless at times, she was much stronger than Miss Fani, who was often brainless.
Following that, everyone chatted for a while. Seeing that the sky had already brightened and that the rain had stopped, Fani and Fors bade farewell and went home to catch up on their sleep.
Xio had planned on seeking out MI9's superior to claim the demon hunting bullets she had spent the night before, but she was stopped by Ebner.
"You want me to go with you to the Harvest Church? Why?" Xio asked in puzzlement when she heard Ebner's request.
"Although the matter of you being corrupted by the black spots last night seems to only be known by Jane, Fors, Mr. Fool, and me, there's no guarantee that the officials will use any means to restore what happened last night… Therefore, to be safe, let's go to the Harvest Church. This way, even if the officials pursue the matter, they will think that Earth Mother has bestowed God with grace to remove the corruption."
Ebner answered after some deliberation.
After Xio heard this, she stared at Ebner for a long while before asking hesitantly, "Ebner, wouldn't the half-giant bishop be angry that you used the Church of Earth Mother in such a manner? Also, what would Mr. Fool think?"
"Mr. Fool is a benevolent god. As long as it doesn't violate the rules set by "Him" there's no need to worry… As for the Church of Earth Mother, I believe Bishop Utravsky will help with this." Ebner wasn't too worried. With the attention and acceptance Earth Mother had given him, this problem wasn't a problem at all…
In fact, if not for the fact that he felt that he was courting death, he even had the intention of testing the bottom line of tolerance Earth Mother had for him.
Seeing how confident Ebner was, Xio didn't speak further and rode with him to the south side of the bridge.
On the way, Ebner spent two pence to buy a copy of the Daily Observer. Then, he saw the news about last night's bridge on the headlines:
"Shocking! The criminal planted many bombs in the Dragon Tooth Bar. The military is evacuating the nearby residents."
…
After arriving at the Harvest Church, there was no need to go into detail about the negotiations with Father Utravsky. The tolerant half-giant bishop readily agreed to Ebner's and Xio's request without even asking why.
It was worth mentioning that due to the actions of the military and the Machinery Hivemind last night, most of the Beyonder gatherings in the bridge area had been delayed. It was no exception for Isengard's, even if the Bravehearts Bar was on the other side of the bridge area near East Borough.
As a result, Miss Hazel, who had been looking forward to the gathering for days and had arrived early at the Harvest Church, was very disappointed. However, there was nothing she could do. All she could do was instruct Ebner to notify her when the gathering was scheduled.
After leaving the Harvest Church, Xio bade Ebner farewell. She planned on seeking out MI9's superior for reimbursement before rushing to Empress Borough to hand over the information regarding Qilangos to Miss Audrey.
Although she already knew that the lady was Justice of the Tarot Club, Xio still decided to complete the mission.
However, Xio also knew that her investigation results weren't of much use… Although she had reverse-investigated Qilangos's previous activity range and residence through the "missing" Darkholme, he definitely wouldn't stay in his original spot with the help of Creeping Hunger. There was even a high chance that he would change his appearance and become another person.
I hope Miss Audrey can deduce the purpose of Qilangos's visit to Backlund through this information… Xio couldn't help but sigh.
"In fact, it's more likely that Miss Justice will share the information you gave her at the next Tarot Gathering and get us to help her analyze it together…" Ebner said with an odd expression.
Xio fell silent. She mimicked Ebner's habit of stroking her forehead before weakly asking, "Did you figure out anything?"
Although I know the answer, I really haven't thought of how to analyze it… Besides, this matter was instigated by an organization that can't say its name. I don't dare to interfere.
With this in mind, Ebner shook his head and said, "When contacting Miss Audrey, take note of the golden retriever she rears… Don't mention the Tarot Club or Mr. Fool's name in front of it just because it's an animal…"
"Susie?" Xio frowned and said thoughtfully, "Is it really a magical creature?"
"Miss Justice once asked what would happen if a pet drinks the potion at the Tarot Club… And the suggestion we gave was to use its easily neglected traits to eavesdrop on some information," Ebner explained with a smile.
"I understand." Xio nodded solemnly.
However, she recalled the last time she met Susie. When she confirmed that, other than being a little reserved when she saw that the satchel on her was the work of the fashion designer, Mr. Sades, she didn't do anything ridiculous, she heaved a sigh of relief.
…
In the Hall family's luxurious villa.
Audrey was sitting on the sofa in her activity room, holding a letter opener and attempting to open the letter in front of her.
It was from her second elder brother, Alfred.
At that moment, she saw Susie push open the unlatched door and run in.
Susie sat on the carpet in front of Audrey and used her claws to take off her leather pouch. With great familiarity, she pulled open the zipper and threw out the documents inside.
"You really are an excellent messenger!" Audrey wasn't stingy with her praise.
Susie looked back at the door and vibrated the air before whispering,
"Your friend is very serious. When I saw her, I thought of the past… Yes, but she bought me some biscuits today. It suits my palate… Unfortunately, I didn't dare to eat it."
Susie, your Loenese is becoming more fluent… Audrey sighed inwardly, but on the surface, she praised her, "Very good. As a lady, you can't just eat the food that others give you."
Susie wagged her tail happily when she heard that.
Audrey wasn't in a rush to read the investigation report that Xio had submitted. Instead, she first opened the letter from her brother and began reading it with a smile.
After a while, Audrey put down the letter and happily said to Susie, who was guarding the door,
"The pituitary gland of an adult Rainbow Salamander is finally here."
"Woof?" Susie cocked her head in puzzlement.
…
Late at night, in a library in the North Borough, Baron Conva sat in the darkness, constantly scribbling as he compared himself to a book.
In front of him, the evil spirit, Mrs. Aston, seemed to be bored as it kept flying around.
Baron Conva looked up at her and comforted her, "Don't worry. After I verify Roselle's theory, I'll find someone to investigate the young lady's whereabouts."
When Mrs. Aston heard this, she paced around on the spot a few times.
"I promise this will be the last time… It's mainly because some of the theorems Roselle raised require new mathematical algorithms. I have to learn them again…"
After hearing the door that directly flew back into the baron's body, Lady Aston fell asleep.
…
Saturday morning, Tingen.
After dealing with the new case and learning the cause of John Maynard's death through mediumship, Klein informed Inspector Tolle the results.
The latter quickly passed on the information to the Member of Parliament's wife and sister, as well as the person involved in the matter, Madam Sharon.
The moment Klein, who had been permitted to leave, walked out of the room, he saw a woman being protected by a few gentlemen.
The lady was wearing a long black dress, and her skin was fair and smooth. Her brown hair was like a waterfall, and her brown eyes were as pitiful as a fawn's. It made one want to protect her involuntarily.
Madam Sharon… Klein suddenly recalled the porno that she had starred in. He hurriedly raised his right hand to cover his mouth and coughed dryly.
Following that, he cast his gaze to the side where three ladies stood.
One of them was a voluptuous, fair middle-aged lady. She wore a trendy regal dress, and she was none other than the wife of a deceased member of parliament. She was glaring at Madam Sharon angrily.
Beside her stood a young, relatively thin girl. The girl's face was covered in tears. At that moment, she was leaning against a beautiful woman with a scholarly air as though she was seeking comfort.
Seeing Klein look at the three ladies, the superintendent introduced them,
"That's Maynard's wife and sister… as well as his sister's public school teacher…
"Ma'am Leena."
