Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 119 The Call of the Eye of Wisdom
"No problem, Mr. Fool, I will convey this to my two friends."

Audrey agreed without any doubt. In her opinion, it was legitimate and necessary for the Tarot Club to assess new members.

After all, if the new members do not even have the most basic execution ability, it is difficult to guarantee that they can provide effective value in the subsequent cooperation.

As Mr. Fool announced the end of the gathering, all Tarot Club members, including The World, stood up and saluted before disappearing into the gray fog.

"..."

Roger opened his eyes and returned to reality again.

He deliberately waited a while before going downstairs, and in the living room he flipped through the Backlund Daily, which he hadn't had time to read today.

According to Mr. "Eye of Wisdom", a notice about a gathering of underground extraordinary people on Tiemen Street can be seen in this newspaper.

"Ernst Trading Company... Purchase notice for bran, butter, and other goods?"

This time, Roger quickly found the advertisement mentioned by "Eye of Wisdom" on the fifth page of the newspaper.

"Only three days later, we're already having another party? This money is so easy to make..."

Roger muttered to himself, and then he told the news to Klein who had just come out of the bedroom.

"I'm planning to go to the party tomorrow and ask Mr. 'Pharmacist' if he has prepared the medicine for me."

He was referring to a medicine that helps broken bones heal.

"I also need to go."

Klein also stated that he would be joining the gathering soon. He wanted to continue following up on clues to the "Pharmacist" potion formula.

After reaching a consensus, Roger returned to the dock in Tingen to perform again, while Klein took a short nap and went out alone again.

……

Backlund, at a racetrack on the outskirts of Queens.

Audrey Hall took the opportunity of horse racing to meet "Arbitrator" Hugh Dilchar and "Apprentice" Fors Wall again.

She handed the portrait of the young man she had prepared to Xio and said:
"Help me find this person, and I can offer you 100 gold pounds.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he's a Beyonder, so you just need to help me find clues. You don't need to capture him alive."

Mr. Fool only gave a portrait of the young man without specifying whether he was a Beyonder or what path or sequence he was in. Audrey, for the sake of Xio and Fors's safety, gave him a special reminder.

"Well, it's not a big deal."

The "arbitrator" Xiu thought for a moment, then put the portrait away and accepted the commission.

She and Fors were both very excited, because finding someone wasn't a complicated matter, and they could get a reward of 100 gold pounds for it, which was like pie in the sky.

"Miss Hall is such a wealthy and good customer..."

Both Fors and Hugh thought so.

"very good."

Audrey nodded. She was very satisfied with the attitude of these two people.

She immediately began to inquire about clues about the "Psychological Alchemy Society".

"I recently joined a new Beyonder gathering, and I heard that the potion formulas for 'audience' and 'mind reader' appeared there, so I suspect there are members of the Psychological Alchemist Society among them.

"I'll follow up at my next party, or I can just take you with me."

Fors replied.

"Ok."

Audrey replied happily. Through her "mind reader" ability, she had already determined that Fors and Xio were not lying.

……

The next morning, 15 Minsk Street.

Roger's figure quickly appeared in the workshop, his face looking quite tired.

"Those Intis people are really crazy..."

Looking back on what happened last night, Roger felt quite helpless.

He went out and said hello to Bandit, then went downstairs to the living room.

"Klein!"

Roger called out Klein's name several times, but received no response.

"out?"

He muttered to himself and began to make breakfast on his own.

Around noon, Klein opened the door.

"Hey, you're back?"

Roger smiled at his roommate and pointed in the direction of the kitchen:
"There's some veal stewed in red wine in the pot. You can have some if you're hungry."

"Thank you."

Klein was feeling uneasy. He threw a copy of the Daily Observer on the table and pointed to a report on one of the pages.

"Look at this."

Roger frowned. He took the newspaper and found that it was an investigative report written by a reporter named "Mike Joseph".

The investigative report detailed the background of a woman who was killed and disemboweled, the investigation conducted at the Sivellas site, and more.

Including those killed previously, this is the 11th victim.

"All the victims had worked in prostitution, either openly or secretly... Did you take this case?"

Roger read the sentence aloud and then asked, "Yes, but it's not a formal request to investigate the case.

"That reporter, Mike Joseph, is my friend. He wanted me to go to the place where one of the victims worked and do some research."

Klein took a sip of beef soup and replied.

"I see. When are you planning to go?"

Roger naturally knew about this case. He had witnessed a victim with his own eyes the last time he and Klein rode in a carriage back to Minsk Street.

"Tomorrow morning, it won't delay our Beyonder gathering tonight."

Klein smiled and said, "Of course, if you go to a place like that to investigate late at night, you'll probably get beaten so badly that your mother won't even recognize you."

"That's right, and there's also the possibility of accidentally becoming the person under investigation."

Roger put down the newspaper and smiled wryly.

After Klein finished his meal, the two of them gave Bandit some instruction on the various performance etiquette and methods of entertaining the audience that a "magic master" needed to master. Then they took a rented carriage to the "Brave Man Bar" on Iron Gate Street.

This time, they didn't purchase tickets to the Beyonder gathering through Caspers's channels. They simply said hello to him and Maric, ordered some beer at normal prices, and sat down to watch the boxers fight on the ring.

"You don't know, today at the club, there was an equestrian coach who wanted to compete with me in fighting skills, but I defeated him in one move."

Klein saw the competition on the stage and spoke to Roger again.

The club he was talking about was the one that Mrs. Mary Gale had signed up for when he took over the case last time in order to help him collect evidence.

This was a bona fide aristocratic club, with an annual fee of 50 pounds for the first year. The wealthy Mrs. Gale paid this fee for Klein in one lump sum.

After that, Klein often went there in his free time to have fun with his new friends who had a certain financial foundation, and to look for opportunities for detective commissions.

It was there that he received the commission to investigate the serial murder case.

"Yes, yes, you are amazing. Please teach me when you have time."

Roger laughed and gave a thumbs-up.

He had already discovered that when Klein really started talking, he would often behave like a little boy showing off his fighting ability.

But on the other hand, Roger really wanted Klein to teach him fighting skills. Even though he now had the "Dawn Armguards", a weapon that could transform into a greatsword, he still relied on his intuition to slash blindly without any method.

"no problem."

Klein patted his chest.

After a while, Roger checked his pocket watch and confirmed that the time was almost up. He and Klein went to Mr. Wisdom Eye's gathering place in the back street and each put on a mask.

"Boom boom boom, boom, boom..."

Roger recalled the details of the acquisition notice of Ernst Company in the newspaper and knocked on the wooden door according to the number in it.

After a while, an extraordinary person they had met before came over and opened the door.

After nodding to each other, Roger and Klein walked into the room and met the old man "Eye of Wisdom", "Pharmacist" and others in the living room.

"Looks like we're here early?"

Klein smiled. There were fewer people in front of him than last time.

"Yes, you are indeed punctual young people."

The Eye of Wisdom nodded again, seeming to admire Klein and Roger's style of doing things.

"Hello, Mr. Pharmacist."

Roger sat down opposite the "pharmacist" who had half of his round face exposed and asked:
"Is my bone healing potion ready?"

"OK OK."

The "pharmacist" took out a test tube containing dark red liquid and handed it to Roger.

"I still want to emphasize to you that the medicine in this area is not made by me..."

"Just tell me if this potion is useful."

Roger raised his eyebrows, interrupting the other party's desire to talk about the effects of his "real man potion", and instead asked about the bone healing potion.

What I mean is, if the medicine you give me is useless, I don't have to pay you the balance.

Seeing Roger like this, the "Pharmacist" finally became depressed:
"Yes, yes, it's a piece of cake."

Roger used "Fortune Insight" to observe his current fortune and found no signs of being cheated. He nodded with satisfaction and paid the remaining 3 gold pounds to the other party.

Seeing that the transaction between the two was completed, Klein asked the other party about finding the "Pharmacist" potion formula in Backlund.

"Well, I've figured out what I need."

The Pharmacist nodded and said:
"I need the medullary crystal of the 'Fountain of Elves'. As long as you can bring this thing, I will tell you the whereabouts of the potion formula you need... Of course, the value of the two is comparable."

The main ingredient of the "Beast Tamer" potion...

Roger evaluated secretly in his mind.

"make a deal."

Klein nodded and agreed to the deal.

Soon, more and more people came to the party. Except for one new face, the rest were old acquaintances.

"That's right, young man."

The Eye of Wisdom looked at Roger and asked, "Do you still have the talisman that you sold last time that can eliminate spiritual pollution?"

　Second update.
