Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 7: First Meeting with Heinz Vincent (Please Read)

A male colleague of Scott took Roger to visit the first floor of 4 Daffodil Street.

There is a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Of course, there is also the underground storage room and the garden outside mentioned in the previous information.

Roger was very satisfied with this - although there was one more guest room, he could accept it considering the overall cost-effectiveness and the possibility of potential guests visiting and staying temporarily in the future.

Finally, after some bargaining with the employees of the Tingen Housing Improvement Company, he finally rented the house for 6 soli per week plus 10 pence for furniture use.

Of course—he did not forget to visit his upstairs neighbor, Mrs. Wilson, the young wife of a sailor, with her two small children, a boy and a girl.

According to Mrs. Wilson, her husband seemed to be a sailor serving the Storm Church. He often went out to sea and came back once in the middle of every month.

"The 'sailors' of the Church of the Storm... They do have a lot of 'Wilsons'."

Roger made some guesses.

He didn't bring much luggage with him, just a bag of information, belongings, spiritual materials, etc., so he could basically move in with just his luggage.

The only trouble was that it took him nearly two hours to clean up the underground storage room.

The soundproofing here is very good and it is surprisingly clean, with only some debris left by the previous tenants, which is not a big deal to clean up.

Roger moved out and threw away all the unused items, leaving only a wooden table, some candles and some metal tools such as wrenches.

"This place can be used as a studio in the future, and a small altar can also be set up here."

He dusted his hands, feeling very satisfied.

"Bang bang bang."

Just then, Roger heard a knock on the door of the house.

"Guests coming so soon?"

While guessing, he went upstairs and opened the door.

The people standing outside were the brothers Klein and Benson. They said they came specifically to visit their neighbors.

"Come in, welcome."

Roger smiled and invited the two of them in, and introduced the furnishings of their new home.

"The layout is similar to ours. It seems the townhouses on Daffodil Street all use the same design."

Benson looked around and nodded slightly.

Considering the overall cost of housing development, this is a more common design in Tingen.

After the three of them discussed recent events, including the latest election results of the Loen Kingdom Parliament and the latest news about the ironclad warships, Klein finally couldn't contain himself and looked at Roger with burning eyes.

"Mr. Bangwei, I don't think you sound like a native of Tingen City. Excuse me, where are your ancestors?"

Earlier at the Tingen Housing Improvement Company, Roger had deliberately pinched three fingers together to make the number 7.

In China, although not all regions use this gesture to represent "7", it is already conspicuous enough compared to most places in the Kingdom of Loen, which use a bent index finger to represent this number.

Therefore, Roger had anticipated that Klein would ask this question to rule out the possibility that he was from outside the Kingdom of Loen.

He answered calmly:
"To be honest, my hometown is in the East, in a small town in the Backlund region, near Pritz Harbor." He deliberately emphasized the word "East."

Roger believed that Klein would be curious about this accent.

As expected, the latter immediately looked thoughtful after hearing this, but was reluctant to ask because Benson was present.

"It's getting late. I'm sorry to bother you today, Mr. Bangwei. Let's meet again another day."

Benson glanced at the wall clock and stood up first.

Seeing this, Klein could only temporarily suppress his urge to continue talking to Roger and politely said goodbye to him.

"The initial plan has been achieved. Next, we just need to wait for Klein to become a Beyonder on the Diviner path. That way, we can have more opportunities to communicate in the Divination Club."

Considering that advancing in the Gou San family path would allow Klein to deepen his use of Sefirah Castle's abilities, he could then find a way to get Klein to invite him to join the Tarot Club.

In the next two days, Roger will find opportunities to train Bandit in various skills, including going to the toilet by himself, finding food from the cabinet by himself, etc.

I have to say, cats that have taken the potion learn things very quickly.

Although it still cannot speak, the Apprentice's ability to pass through walls allows it to avoid problems that many cat owners face - such as knocking over or knocking over vases or dishes on the table.

"By the way, today is Saturday. I might consider going to the Divination Club to take on some divination requests and look for Heinus Vincent while I'm at it."

After having breakfast, Roger took a shower and dressed up. After making sure that there was no problem with his appearance, he put Bandit on his shoulder and went out with it.

"Morning, Ms. Angelica."

When Roger saw the club's front desk lady, he took off his wide-brimmed hat and greeted her with a smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Bonway."

Angelica also greeted him, then suddenly looked as if she had remembered something and said:
"By the way, didn't I ask you about my brother last time? His company received new investment and has paid off its debts."

Her tone was very excited:
"Not only that, that investor helped him find a new distributor for one of his products, and he expects to sign a cooperation agreement soon. You are truly an amazing fortune teller!"

Roger chuckled upon hearing this. "That's good. Say hello to your family for me. By the way, is Mr. Heinz Vincent here today?"

"Ah, yes, he is in the reception room inside sharing his experience in astronomy. You can go in and listen."

Angelica enthusiastically led Roger to a small hall where many people were sitting.

Standing on the podium at the top was a middle-aged man wearing a black classical robe and with thick, stiff brown hair standing up like a hedgehog. He was pointing at the astrolabe on the blackboard and explaining the knowledge related to the symbolism of the stars.

This is Heinus Vincent.

When Roger walked in, everyone, including Hainas, immediately turned to look at him.

Knowing that this was the passive feature of the "Conspicuous Pack" at work, Roger smiled calmly, nodded to them, then found an empty seat and sat down, listening to Hainas' sharing.

Hainas continued talking for a while, then suddenly turned to Roger and said:
"Mr. with the cat, I see you have a fortune teller's cufflink. Do you know how to read the astrology chart?"

"To be honest, I know a little bit." Roger smiled and nodded slightly.
