Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 95 No. 15 Minsk Street

After handing Klein the check for 5000 gold pounds, Roger pressed down his wide-brimmed hat with one hand, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

Klein, who was still in shock, finally reacted. He quickly rushed forward and followed Roger.

"Met... Oh no, Roger, you don't have anywhere to go in Backlund, right?"

Klein asked in a low voice.

"Who said that? I'm the messenger of the Aurora Society. It's easy for me to find a place to stay." Roger shook his head.

"It's not good to always bother others." Klein clearly disagreed with Roger.

"I still have the 'Traveler's Dice', so I can return to 4 Daffodil Street at any time."

Roger gave Klein a funny look, meaning that I'm different from you. I can go home openly.

"But after all, the dice are somewhat dangerous..."

Klein bit his lip and continued:
"I mean, you don't have much to do in Tingen anyway. As you said on the ship earlier, you'll be living in Backlund for a long time to come.

"So in the meantime, do you mind living with me? That way we'll have someone to chat with and life won't be too boring.

"Of course, I'll pay the rent."

Roger finally stopped. To be honest, he didn't expect Klein to invite him like this.

Although Roger wasn't well-known in Backlund, he was still a successful philanthropist, so there was still a certain risk for Klein to be with him.

"I know what you're worried about. I've already thought about it on the way here. Please wait a moment."

Klein looked around, then quickly walked across the street and bought a copy of the Backlund Daily from the newsboy there.

Then he pulled Roger into a street cafe, and the two sat there and discussed.

"...As I just said, there are two districts in Backlund that are more suitable for us to live in. One is the Hillston District, which is the financial district, and the other is the Cherwood District, which is densely populated with small companies and residential areas."

"These two areas have a large flow of people and relatively good public security. Police and night watchmen generally don't waste too much time patrolling or questioning citizens in places like these, and no one will pay special attention to us.

"Of course, in some emergency situations, I can also put on the 'Vagabond Mask' to temporarily conceal my identity."

Roger nodded slightly. Klein's plan made a lot of sense.

Seeing that Roger agreed with his words, Klein continued:
“I suggest that we live in the Cherwood area, where the rent is relatively cheaper, the atmosphere is rich, and it is also convenient for hiding our identities.

"For example... this place is nice, 15 Minsk Street, the weekly rent is 18 soli, it has two floors, six bedrooms and three bathrooms, it's big enough for the two of us, and we even have some extra."

It must be said that although Klein had just received 5000 gold pounds, out of habit, the price of the house he chose was still basically within his original consumption level for the time being.

Now that things have come to this, Roger had no choice but to nod:
"Okay, let's go take a look first."

After making their decision, the two boarded Backlund's steam subway train and headed to Minsk Street in Cherwood District.

The two found No. 15, next to No. 17 Minsk Street, and after some haggling with the rather snobbish Mrs. Starling Summer, they paid a rent of 25 pounds for half a year, which included the use of furniture.

In the middle, Mrs. Summer asked Klein, oh no, now it should be called Sherlock Moriarty, whether he had brought his identification documents, but the latter evaded the question by saying that he had forgotten them at home.

As for Roger, he had already had Mr. C commission an underground channel within the Aurora Society to create a fake identity document for him, claiming to be Baleno Jones. The document listed his birthplace as Constant City in Jianghai County. Klein and Roger's new home was similar in layout to Mrs. Summer's. The first floor consisted of a large living room, a dining room, two guest rooms, a bathroom, a basement, and a kitchen.

As for the second floor, there are four bedrooms, a living room, a sun room, a study, two bathrooms, and a large balcony.

According to the agreement, Roger and Klein occupied a guest room upstairs and downstairs respectively, while the sun room, living room and dining room were shared by the two.

Not only that, Klein also vacated an upstairs bedroom for Roger to use for mystical purposes, while he himself occupied the basement.

Bandit was also quite satisfied with this place. He ran around the living room on the first floor for a long time and praised the more spacious environment that was suitable for kittens to run around.

Yes, Klein already knew this guy could talk in the cargo ship's cabin, and he was even startled by it.

When he learned that this guy was able to do this because of Melissa's "knowledge infusion" and digesting the apprentice potion, he suddenly felt a little amused.

"So, what are your plans next?" Roger asked.

"Well... although I have money now, I still plan to find something to do. The persona I've created with Mrs. Summer is that of a young man who just arrived in Backlund looking for a job. If I don't work, it's bound to arouse suspicion.

"On the other hand, this will also help me digest the 'Joker' potion, build new connections, and prepare for subsequent promotions."

Klein paused and said, "I've already thought about the specific job content. I'm going to be a private investigator."

"Very good, it suits you very well."

Roger had long guessed that Klein would probably choose this career, so he didn't say much.

After all, he is not only a Beyonder, but also a Night Watchman. He is more familiar with police work and has more advantages than ordinary private detectives.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" Klein asked Roger about his plan again.

"I still have a part-time job with Mr. Faye, but I don't expect it to last long..."

"You have a part-time job at the bar? What does it do?"

When Klein heard this, he immediately thought he had misheard.

"He's performing for people."

Bandit looked up at Klein and said.

"It's not a street performance, it's a resident singer." Roger corrected helplessly.

Considering that the "Singer" potion has not been digested yet, his work at the "Desert Island" bar cannot be finished for the time being.

"..."

Ignoring Klein's silence, he continued:
"On the other hand, I intend to investigate some things, things that interest me."

Roger came to Backlund for two main purposes. The first was to investigate the secret activities of the witches and other related organizations in Backlund, and to see if he could find the secret mausoleums built by George III through this clue.

The second reason was that he hoped to deepen his contact with the Aurora Society and confirm what they had said before: "I will become the vessel for the advent of the true Creator."
