Becoming a god by raising witches

Locke breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, I'll go home first to write the case report and collect the reward."

Locke took Eileen out of the prison and drove back to the East District.

He went into his study and began writing a report.

[Document 1658: 12 children have gone missing in the West District. A child-eating witch is suspected. Please investigate and find the cannibalistic witch.]

[Investigation findings: The 12 children in the West End were kidnapped by magician Bud Bemon and his wife Joan Mancini.]

As he wrote this, Locke looked up and asked hesitantly,

"Will that nobleman retaliate against Hannah and me because of this? After all, we are the offspring of Bard Bemon."

"No, that nobleman is dead. He was Baron Bean Sanber, whose funeral was held recently. The missing person is his adopted son."

Erin said.

"How do you know so much? You didn't witness the whole thing three years ago, did you?"

Locke looked at Eileen with suspicion.

"I'm not that boring."

Eileen raised her head.

Locke continued writing his report with his head down.

[Eyewitness: Inmate number 263 of Kosalk State Prison.]

[Investigation process...]

After Locke finished writing the report and confirmed that there were no factors involving himself, he put the report into his briefcase with satisfaction, intending to take it to work the next day.

"Xiao Ai, take me to the black market again. I want to sell the witch's red crystal necklace."

"I suggest you don't go to the black market; you've already been flagged."

"Um, are there no other black markets?"

"It's not that there aren't any, it's just that it's not suitable for you to go in right now. If you want to buy the witch's red crystal necklace, there is actually a very good buyer, you don't need to go to the black market."

Eileen licked her furry paws and said,

"Who?"

Chapter 128, Strange Item Trading

"You're not talking about Sieg, are you?"

Locke waved his hand. "He can't come up with 300 gold coins. He's a spendthrift; if he had money, he'd spend it all on women."

"Do you know his last name?"

"Eileen asked."

"Bruce?"

Locke stroked his chin, which meant that Sieg couldn't come up with the money, but his family was.

Okay, so this is a hidden rich kid.

If that's the case, then there's really no need to go to the black market.

The following day, Locke went to the Sixth Bureau of Oddity Investigation and first submitted his report to Director Renis.

Renis looked at the detailed report and paused slightly,

“Rock Bemon, if I remember correctly, Bard Bemon is your father, isn’t he?”

"Yes, but that doesn't cover up the truth. As an investigator, I can't protect him just because of his position."

Locke said solemnly, with an air of impartiality.

"Although the motive was not found, it is enough to close the case. After all, this is a case from several years ago. You will report it to Mrs. Freya, and she will help you apply for the reward."

Renis narrowed her eyes, emphasizing the word "bounty".

Locke's eyes visibly brightened.

This proves that Renis's guess was correct; this guy really did it for the 100 gold Mick bounty.

"Thank you, Director. I'll be going now."

"Don't forget breakfast and lunch."

"Won't forget it."

Don't worry, Director, I will personally prepare breakfast, morning tea, lunch, desserts, afternoon tea, and dinner.

Locke needs to hurry up and raise Renis's favorability to prevent her from doing anything underhanded to him.

Locke reached the door, when Rhaenys suddenly called out to him.

"Locke."

"Chief, is there anything else?"

"Are you short of money?"

"Yes, as you know, my family is relatively poor. I'm learning magic from Boyd, and many of the ritual materials are very expensive, so I have to save up some money."

Locke said helplessly.

"Ah."

Renis nodded and let Locke leave the office.

Locke went into the kitchen and began preparing breakfast for Renis.

"Locke, what new trick are you going to pull today?"

Old Rani, still arguing with [Boiled Lamb in Ice], asked with a smile.

"West toast."

Locke said.

"what is this?"

Old Rani considered himself knowledgeable and well-traveled, but after meeting Locke, he realized how shallow his knowledge was. He became like his apprentice self, always asking questions like "What is this?" and "Why?"

If it weren't for the fact that Locke was the only one in the entire kitchen who knew how to make bread, he would have doubted whether he had been eating bread all these years.

"It's French toast."

"French toast?"

Old Rani looked at Locke with a puzzled expression. He knew what toast was, but what did French mean?

Seeing the puzzled look on old Rani's face, Locke smiled and said, "Okay, it's toast."

When Rani and Fedor, who had gathered around, heard that it was just ordinary toast, they immediately lost interest.

They assumed Locke was going to make a new dish for Renis, but if it was just ordinary toast, they could make it themselves.

Locke did not lose interest in cooking just because no one was watching.

He put on a chef's hat and apron, washed his hands, and began selecting bread with a great sense of ceremony.

The bread should not be too hard, too dry, too fluffy, or too sweet.

You must choose one with a dense, soft texture and a moderate sweetness.

Ultimately, Locke chose Baker's bread.

Trim the edges of the bread, spread a layer of strawberry jam evenly on both the top and bottom slices, and place the cheese slice in the middle.

Take out a fine, deep dish, put in the beaten eggs and 15 grams of milk, and dip the sandwich bread slices into the egg mixture, making sure that all the bread slices are covered with the egg mixture.

Locke put some butter in a frying pan and then slowly fry it over low heat.

Don't forget the edges and corners of the bread either, until the surface is golden brown.

Place a slice of butter in the middle of the fried bread and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Finally, pair it with a cup of Locke's hand-ground coffee, placed on the plate, and the aroma will instantly fill the air.

Old Rani and Fedor couldn't help but drool.

It's just ordinary toast, but it's made to look like a high-end dish.

“I fried a few extra pieces, Old Rani, Fedor, you can try them too.”

Locke said with a smile.

Old Rani and Fedore nodded, came over, each picked up a piece, and put it in their mouths.

Just as they were enjoying their delicious toast, Locke had already taken his plate and walked out.

Breakfast was delivered to Renis's office.

Renis smelled the aroma of chocolate, strawberries, eggs, and bread mixed together. Looking at the golden toast on her plate, she smiled and said...

"what is this?"

"Kosalk Golden Toast".
