My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 48 Fang Scepter
【Tusk Scepter】

[Quality: Third-level rare item]

[Effect: After continuous casting, you can grant the concept of "sharpness" to all things; you can also choose to shatter a saber-toothed tiger fang and launch a third-level blade slash.]

[Introduction: The saber-toothed tiger lost its fangs and fell into extinction, but we will not repeat its mistakes.]

Jules held the scepter tightly and felt a lot more at ease.

With it, it's like having an extra trump card!
The power of the Blade Code may not be as strong as other codes in many aspects, but it is the purest.

Its power is for killing, and nothing else.

The power of the third-level blade slash is enough to easily tear apart any extraordinary person below the third level, as well as any unprepared extraordinary person of the same level!
Putting down the sharp scepter that almost pierced his skin, Jules thanked him:

"Thank you for repairing it. I am satisfied that it has come this far."

Matilda said "hmm" and immediately picked up the fake string of ocean hearts.

"Although the counterfeiters' technology is very sophisticated, unfortunately, I have seen the original one before and know the difference between the two."

She raised her head, looked at Jules, and said seriously:
"I have a question for you. Was this string of ocean hearts obtained from the Cup's pursuer?"

Yule raised his eyebrows and said:

"Maybe?"

He wasn't too sure whether Carl in this world line still admired the Wave.

But no matter what, the principles they follow are the principles of the cup.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense..."

Matilda smiled faintly: "Do you know the unknown past of Sichen?"

Yule was stunned: "A red cup?"

"Yes," Matilda nodded. "This necklace was stolen by the Red Cup. The power within it does not belong to the Red Cup, but to another Si Chen."

"The name of that Si Chen has almost disappeared in the long river of history. Based on ancient texts, I once speculated that his past name might be related to the ocean."

"The Wave," Jules suddenly said, "His name is The Wave."

"So his name is Wave..." Matilda nodded thoughtfully and said:

"It seems that you may know some secrets that I don't know."

She did not expand on this topic, but said:

"If my guess is correct, this necklace should have come from the 'Blood Cup Cult' which was extinct over a decade ago. It has obvious signs of being a replica."

The Blood Cup Cult... Yule pondered for a moment and said:

"But the necklace's recent discovery suggests they may not have completely vanished."

Matilda smiled slightly and said:
"Your guess is correct. Although the Blood Cup Cult is dead, more people will flock to it and spontaneously form the new Blood Cup Cult.

The principle of the cup is exactly what the mediocre people in the world pursue, and all their desires can be satisfied through it."

Jules picked up the necklace and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"So, Rose Manor is related to the Blood Cup Cult?"

"maybe."

Matilda lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking about.

Seeing that he had received the information he wanted and that his cane had been successfully repaired, Jules bowed and said:
"It's getting late, and I have things to do, so I won't bother you any more. See you another day."

"Goodbye."

……

Xicheng District, inside the police station.

Several well-dressed men stood in a row, staring directly at Officer Fate behind the desk, putting great pressure on him.

Officer Fate felt a little numb from being stared at by several people, but he still said with a stiff upper lip:
"My Lords, you are all right, but the procedure is so stipulated, it is not allowed! Without the order from the superior, search warrants and arrest warrants cannot be issued at will!"

The leading man narrowed his eyes, leaned forward, and said calmly:
"Oh? Aren't we your superiors?"

Officer Fate didn't dare look directly at the other person, so he lowered his head and looked at the table, but he kept talking:

"You are not my direct superior. I cannot sign without receiving orders from your direct superior. I'm sorry."

The man looked at Officer Fite quietly for a while, then suddenly turned around.

"let's go."

After watching them leave, Officer Fate collapsed back in his chair, feeling exhausted. "Jules, this is all I can do..."

At the same time, after leaving the office, someone said angrily:

"Damn it! He's just a lousy police officer, and he dares to disobey our orders! We've tried every possible means, but he just won't sign!"

The man who was in the lead asked:

"Why didn't you just bring him in this morning?"

"Uh, sorry, sir. It seems Jules wasn't here this morning, and there are other people trying to stop us. Without a search warrant or an arrest warrant, we're afraid another faction might take advantage of the situation..."

The man shook his head and said indifferently:

"Forget it, then find someone who is willing to sign."

……

When they were still some distance away from the apartment, Jules saw Holmes supporting Mrs. Boleyn at the door and saying something to her.

As he approached, he asked doubtfully:

"Mrs. Boleyn, what's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Boleyn sighed helplessly: "Let Mr. Holmes talk to you."

Holmes glanced at Jules and said:
"Let's talk in the room later."

As soon as I entered the room, Lolita rushed over:
"Uncle Jules! I thought you were taken away!"

Jules quickly pulled Lolita off him:

"what happened?"

Lolita pursed her lips and said:

"A bunch of weirdos came today, saying my uncle had committed a crime and wanted to arrest him! Luckily, Uncle Holmes helped!"

This... Yule frowned and said:
"What crime?"

Lolita shook her head, and Holmes' voice sounded from behind her at the right moment:

"It's just fare evasion, debt avoidance, and a series of ridiculous charges."

Jules turned his head, his face twitching visibly:

"Bullshit! I've already paid the interest, why are you accusing me of hiding from my debts?"

Holmes took out a pamphlet, flipped through it, and said:
"They said that they couldn't find you during a debt collection operation before. According to Imperial law, you are guilty of evading debt."

Jules's eyes were somewhat gloomy:
"Where did this law come from? Why have I never heard of it?"

Holmes said "Hey" after a long absence:
"That's interesting. I looked it up later, and this so-called law is actually just an administrative order from 130 years ago. It's completely buried in the archives and no one has ever enforced it. I don't know how they dug it up."

An executive order? From over a hundred years ago? Yule's mouth twitched as he asked:

"Then how did you get rid of them?"

"I only questioned their lack of a search warrant and arrest warrant," Holmes shrugged. "However, your crime of fare evasion is indeed real, so I can only do my best to help."

Jules pondered for a while and said:

"This is a very strange thing. I need to go find Officer Fite."

……

After a while, at the gate of Xicheng District Police Station.

Rows of police officers evacuated passers-by, carried the body out and loaded it onto a carriage.

Jules looked at the cordoned-off scene, somewhat bewildered. He stopped a passerby, put a penny in his hand, and asked:

"Sir, what happened?"

The passerby was a little impatient at first, but when he felt the cold coin in his hand, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot:
"I heard that the Ripper has struck again and brutally murdered a police officer."

Yuleton feels bad:

"Which one?"

"It is said that his name is Fate."
