Chapter 454 Commission
“This is called being able to eat…”

When Klein was paying the bill, he felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fell down.

When Tao Yu brought him to a high-end restaurant, he already felt something was wrong.

When he saw Tao Yu ordering dishes with a certain level of proficiency, without even bothering to look at the menu, some of which sounded very expensive, and then stuffing them into his mouth, Klein felt a little dizzy.

The food is delicious, but it tastes like chewing wax.

"I know a few good places. I'll take you there next time."

Tao Yu was in a good mood after eating the delicious food, but Klein wanted to cry loudly, but the "clown" had good control over his expression.

He even felt that he had digested a lot of his 'Joker' potion!

Although this seemed to be a good thing, Klein was not happy at all.

Your gold pound didn't disappear, it just turned into a clown to accompany you...

Seeing how Tao Yu skillfully ordered dishes and was familiar with the waiter, Klein knew that the other party seemed to be a regular customer here and was not intentionally trying to rip him off.

But this only made him feel even more ridiculous. The other party clearly said at the beginning that he would treat them. What a gentlemanly act! Seeing how much he ate, he didn't look like he needed comforting at all!
Uh, could it be turning grief and anger into appetite?
Thinking of this, Klein sighed again. Forget it. They suffered such a huge loss. What's wrong with having a good meal...

After the two of them had their meal, they took a carriage back to Minsk Street, with Klein still paying for the fare.

"Good night. I have to prepare a new potion next. I still need to digest it."

"Me too, I still have no idea."

Klein looked at Tao Yu's pretty face and couldn't help but sigh. After all, she was at Sequence 7 and had already entered the middle sequence.

And I am only Sequence Eight.

However, he did not envy those who were at Sequence Seven.

Just as they were saying goodbye at the intersection, they both paused because there was a figure lingering at the door of Klein's house.

Klein also recognized him. This was a young man he met when he first came to Backlund. He seemed to be involved in some trouble.

He doesn't like trouble, but he is even more short of money. He can't refuse a commission even if it's a little late.
"I have a business."

"It's a good opportunity to take a look. I also want to see how detectives work. Do they rely on divination?"

Tao Yu knew that Klein was good at divination, and the thought of using this to become a detective inexplicably felt a little funny.

"Well, look at what he's trying to do, he seems to be in trouble."

Two people suddenly appeared behind the young man. They seemed startled when he turned around, and then prepared to attack in response, heading directly for the lower three roads.

But Tao Yu held it down with one hand.
"If you move again, I'll break your legs."

Tao Yu spoke in a nonchalant tone, which made Klein beside her feel a little weird.

Hey, why do you speak so naturally?

Why do I feel like you are really good at interrupting? What did you do before?
Although Tao Yu's tone was calm, it sounded intimidating to Ian, and made him feel a chill in his heart for some reason, as if he had begun to feel phantom pain in his legs as if his legs were broken.

I looked up at this handsome older brother, and he just nodded and said nothing.

"I'm here to see Detective Sherlock."

He now didn't know whether the person was here to arrest him or the owner of the house.

"That's me. We've met."

Klein spoke up at this time. He had seen him being chased on the subway before.

"Let's go inside and talk."

"Okay, I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. I thought you were the one arresting me."

The older boy breathed a sigh of relief, and Tao Yu also released the hand that was pressing on him.

After entering Klein's house and coming to the long sofa in the reception area, the older boy introduced himself.
"My name is Ian. I was previously employed by another detective named Zreal Victor Lee. I was mainly responsible for collecting some intelligence..."

The two did not interrupt and listened quietly.

"Mr. Zrel is missing, but when I commissioned other detectives he was familiar with, they all said they had seen him at a banquet, so they refused my commission."

"Maybe he is not missing, he just doesn't want to see you."

Tao Yu looked indifferent. This was really too much of a fuss.

"I used our codeword to contact him, but there was still no news. I think he might have been held hostage by someone, or for some other reason, so I would like to ask you to investigate."

Ian treated Tao Yu as Klein's detective assistant.

Now that he has recovered, he has gradually regained his shrewdness, as if he has received special training, and has shown a maturity that does not belong to his age group.

“It seems tricky.”

"So I just need to check his condition, no rescue is needed."

If that were the case, it would be much simpler.

"So how much do you plan to pay?"

Klein asked the key question. He urgently needed to recover.

Ian seemed to hesitate for a moment, then proposed two solutions.

“First, I will pay you enough compensation directly, but no matter how difficult it is later, it will only be this amount.

"Second, I will pay five gold pounds in advance, and then the balance will depend on the difficulty."

Hearing this, Tao Yu and Klein looked at each other.

Well, the other party probably has no money, maybe only these five gold pounds on him.

Still in urgent need of money, Klein found a suitable way and said, "You can choose to pay me five gold pounds first, but you need to help me complete three tasks or inquire about some intelligence in the future."

Klein recognized Ian's ability. This guy should have a lot of intelligence sources.

"it is good."

Ian also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his financial difficulties might have been discovered, but there was nothing he could do.

Then he took out a dozen thick banknotes from his pocket. Although the banknotes were thick, most of them were Sulers.

The largest denomination was one gold pound, of which there were only three. Then the remaining two gold pounds were made up with change, which directly reduced the value of the dozen banknotes by half.

After watching Ian leave, Tao Yu waved to Klein.
"Interesting detective game. If you have any trouble, you can ask me for help. Good night."

"Good night……"

……

Tao Yu did not go to find Klein the next day. The other party would not ask for help right away. Instead, he went to find Xianyu Writer and others, asking if there was any mystery lovers association or a place where fortune-telling could be set up.

I want to go to those places and see if I can digest the witches' potion by playing the mysterious role.

At the same time, I was also thinking about going to look for Eve after a while, continuing to instigate her to leave the Witch Church, and then seeing if there is any channel for subsequent potions.

“Yes, but some clubs have access mechanisms.”

Tao Yu took out twenty gold pounds

"Can you help me with that?"

"can!"

Fors also felt a little strange. This gentleman was very rich.

But she likes making friends like this...

……

After becoming an apprentice, Fors gradually integrated into the extraordinary world and found some gatherings.

Therefore, he did know a lot about those secret clubs between ordinary people and extraordinary people.

"Is your mental state getting worse? I don't think it's necessary to drive yourself crazy just to finish your manuscript. What if you lose control?"

Tao Yu and Fors, who had dark circles under her eyes, took a carriage to the entrance of a club. Seeing Fors almost falling asleep in the carriage, Tao Yu slapped her face to wake her up and said something strange.

"Don't mention it. I hear strange whispers every time there's a full moon. It's so annoying."

Fors complained bitterly.

Xio also knew this, but she didn't know how serious it was. In the past, Fors could actually tolerate it.

But ever since I used the Traveler feature to run away last time, it has become more and more of a headache.

She has used it three times so far, and her headache gets worse each time she uses it. She doesn't know how long she can last.

"Full Moon Whisper?"

Tao Yu felt a little strange and thought of what he heard at the beginning when he looked at the moon.

It seemed to be Mr. Men’s whisper.

Is he an extraordinary person who can influence the same path?
What a high status!
"A crazy god?"

Tao Yu thought so subconsciously.

At this time, Fors also brought Tao Yu to a club located in the northern part of Backlund.

The North District has Saint Samuel Cathedral, the headquarters of the Church of Night in Backlund.

It is also a wealthy area, and many devout believers of the Church of Night choose this place.

Tao Yu, who was a non-staff member of the Church of Night, felt that it was very suitable and followed Fors upstairs.

Fors seemed to be somewhat famous here. Many people greeted her, saying that she hadn't been here for a long time, and asked when her next book would be published.

Whether it is her identity as a writer or the mysterious knowledge she possesses, she is very popular here.

"This is my new friend, Mr. Folco Soucie."

"Oh, Mr. Folke is a gentleman. Sorry, I was a little presumptuous. I meant that you are very handsome."

"Hehe, too handsome."

"..."

This club called 'Mystic Explorers' obviously has more female members, and suddenly such a handsome male member came, and everyone around them started chattering.

In fact, when there are enough women, they will also become much bolder.

Tao Yu was also experiencing the situation on the scene. Many of the people here were young ladies who liked mysterious things, including children of businessmen, scholars and even aristocrats.

Many people here wear robes and even hold crystal balls, which makes the atmosphere very mysterious.

However, Tao Yu did not feel much extraordinary aura.

Well, besides Fors, there is another person that Tao Yu has feelings for.

A beautiful girl with long dark green wavy hair. She is very pretty, but her expression seems a little arrogant, as if everyone around her is just an ordinary person.

Becoming the eldest daughter of a Beyonder?
Tao Yu thought that the other party might be similar to Miss Justice, but the arrogance revealed on the surface did not have the temperament that Miss Justice had in her bones.

This is probably the difference between a great noble and a small noble...
