"Please be careful. This person is...quite dangerous. I will also send someone to investigate him, Ms. Funina. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After that, Villette also left the court and took a boat back to the Momang Palace.

"Oh my! It's so annoying! What the hell is that guy doing? I'm so pissed off!"

Finina complained a few words, jumped down from the throne, and stamped her feet a few times to calm herself down.

"Forget it. Things have come to this. It's not a bad thing for him to be exonerated. At least I can talk to him openly."

After a thrilling night, Funina was now tired, sleepy and hungry. She just wanted to go back and eat some cakes and have a good sleep.

When she wakes up, she will be the great detective Funina!

Later that day, at Mo Mang Palace.

Clorinde, who lost the duel, was summoned by Navilette. She came to the Momen Palace with a feeling of complete shame and knocked on the door of the Chief Justice's office.

"Please come in."

A calm and steady voice came from inside.

Clorinde gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. She lowered her head and walked to Villette's desk. Without waiting for him to speak, she blamed herself and said, "I'm sorry! I disappoint the Shadow Chaser and the Inquisition! Lord Villette, please believe that I have tried my best. I didn't let him win in this duel."

That Villette crossed her fingers on the table and comforted him, "It's not your fault, Clorinde. You are the best Shadow Hunter. This is known to everyone. No one expected this duel to end like this, not even me..."

"Your Honor, please dismiss me from my position. I am no longer qualified to be a duel agent of the Inquisition, let alone a Shadow Hunter."

As she spoke, Clorinde tightened her grip on the sword.

How could she be willing to lose to someone else? Especially in such a humiliating way...

"You have done nothing wrong, so why should you be punished? Judicial duels are cruel."

Clorinde looked up. "Then why did you summon me here?"

That Villette looked directly into Clorinde's unwilling eyes and said calmly, "I want you to approach Sherlock and investigate his background and intentions."

"What? Me?" Clorinde was shocked. "You want me to investigate him as a loser? Sorry, I don't know how to do this..."

"Not a loser, but a Shadow Hunter." Navilette emphasized: "Don't forget, you are the best Shadow Hunter and the best candidate to lead the Shadow Court in the future. No one else can do this job except you."

"In addition, the water goddess Funina is also investigating Sherlock. You need to cooperate with each other and try your best to get all his details out."

......

After thinking calmly, Clorinde accepted the task.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task!"

----

After the duel, Shylock became a celebrity in Fontainebleau.

The significance of defeating the strongest duel agent Clorinde made his name quickly spread throughout the streets of Fontaine.

Charlotte, the legendary reporter of Steambird News, was so excited that she wrote an article in a short time and published it in the form of a special edition.

In order to capture the hot spots and not be overtaken by her peers, Charlotte even carried full equipment to look for Sherlock himself, wanting to do an exclusive interview with him.

Charlotte was in a hurry and ran through the coffee shop, attracting the attention of a nobleman who was drinking coffee.

"What's going on? Why are the people of Fontaine suddenly getting agitated?"

Tartaglia put down the coffee in his hand and randomly grabbed a passerby to ask.

When he learned that someone had defeated Clorinde in a judicial duel, Tartaglia instantly lost his composure.

Are there any experts? !

He had just fought with Clorinde not long ago. This legendary undefeated duel agent was indeed worthy of his reputation. His strength was comparable to his own without the Demon King's Armor. However, before he could have fun, Clorinde was called away by the people of the Inquisition.

He had been planning to have another fair duel with Clorinde, but he didn't expect that Clorinde's undefeated legend would be broken after just a short while.

Who in Fontaine could defeat Clorinde?

Sherlock...I've never heard of such a person!

Tartaglia was itching to fight.

"I really came to the right place! Fontaine is so much fun!"

Fontaine: Chapter 146: An Old Man Pushing a Cart

Lu Sheng rented a house in a relatively remote street corner in Fontaine.

It didn't cost much Mora, because the landlord suddenly became very gentle and humble after hearing his name, and directly cut the original price in half, and promised not to raise the price for the rest of his life.

Little did I know that the landlord was sweating profusely when I rented the house.

A strong man who can defeat the strongest duel agent wants to rent his own house. How dare he speak loudly?

8 Extremely spicy?

Besides, there are many people out there who are willing to pay a lot of money for Sherlock's information. Once the information is sold, the rent will be recovered in disguise.

When the landlord asked Shylock what he was going to do in Fontaine, the other party's answer was definitely unexpected to him.

"Then open a detective agency."

Lu Sheng said.

His name is Sherlock, so it’s not too much to open a detective agency, right?

It can also pave the way for Funina, allowing her to re-enter the sight of the people of Fontaine as a ruler with a keen eye and god-like ability to solve cases.

The first step in training is to let Funina step out of her comfort zone, stop thinking about her B-list celebrity dream all day long, and face difficulties and dangers.

But before that, he had something more important to do.

Xumi must be getting mad with anxiety now, so we have to send the message back quickly to report it.

Moreover, he probably wouldn't be returning to Xumi in the short term, so he had to arrange people to complete some basic work, and let the Son of God Lisa and Apep and others supervise the country for a while.

Call them over for help when needed.

After Lu Sheng finished writing the letter, he addressed it to Ms. Lisa and went out to the post office in Fontaine to mail it.

As a result, not long after he went out, he found many pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

This interrupted his idea of sending the letter.

If Fontaine keeps staring at me like this, he will definitely intercept the letter and study it carefully. Then my identity will be completely exposed and my training plan will fail.

So he changed direction and went to a carpentry workshop to order a detective agency sign, which he hung on his doorstep when he got home.

In less than half an hour, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Lu Sheng opened the door and saw a pink-haired girl holding a camera, staring at him fiercely.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Sherlock?" The girl spoke very quickly. Before Lu Sheng could hear the previous sentence clearly, she had already introduced herself: "My name is Charlotte, and I'm a reporter for Steambird News. May I do an exclusive interview for you? You are a big celebrity in Fontaine now! Don't worry about the exit fee. It will definitely be a number that will satisfy you!"

What? I thought the business would come so quickly, but it turns out to be a reporter.

It really is the fastest profession in the world.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Lu Sheng slammed the door shut.

"Hey~ Give me a chance! Can we talk again?"

Charlotte kept harassing outside the door. That was the nature of a journalist's job. If she didn't work hard, the latest headlines would be snatched away by other newspapers.

Out of her love for this profession, Charlotte really wants to know where this mysterious and powerful man who can defeat Clorinde comes from and what kind of unknown past he has.

After all, Clorinde had been one of the people she had always wanted to interview.

Lu Sheng opened the door again and was greeted by Charlotte's bright smile.

"Please leave gracefully."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" The young reporter was good at observing people's expressions and if he caused the other party to feel annoyed at this moment, it would be a waste of time.

"Okay, sorry to bother you, here is my business card. If you change your mind, please contact me immediately!"

Charlotte handed over her business card and Lu Sheng accepted it.

Because the subsequent plans cannot be separated from the help of a newspaper, let alone an authoritative newspaper like Steambird.

Before leaving, Charlotte suddenly noticed the sign at the door.

"Black Cat Detective Agency..."

She scratched her head.

This is a brand new sign. Was it put up by Sherlock?

"This is a topic worth discussing! At least it's not in vain!"

Charlotte left contentedly. After a while, Clorinde, one of the most talked-about figures in Fontaine recently and who had lost the judicial duel, came to the door of the Black Cat Detective Agency.

She glanced over the sign at the door, confused.

After adjusting her mood, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Why are you still..."

Lu Sheng opened the door and was also surprised to see Clorinde outside.

"Why is it you? Do you want to challenge me to a duel again?"

Clorinde wanted to answer yes, but reason overcame impulse. She mustered up her courage and said something astonishing: "Please accept me as your apprentice!"

Lu Sheng was in awe.

"Please come in."

He invited Clorinde into the house and poured her a cup of coffee.

The two sat face to face, and Clorinde, who was usually cool and calm, seemed a little uneasy at this moment.

She thought about how to get close to Sherlock for a long time, and after much thought, this was the only way to get close to Sherlock in a reasonable way.

Honor is important, but when it comes to the mission of the Shadow Chaser, she can discard honor and be willing to admit her failure.

Lu Sheng sat quietly at the table and said calmly: "Why do you have such an idea? It was just a duel."

"My swordsmanship teacher once said that anyone stronger than you can be your teacher. Since I lost to you, I should acknowledge your strength and my own weakness."

"The strong are the ones who can ruthlessly humiliate the weak! This is an eternal principle. I am your defeated opponent. Even if you have never humiliated me, I cannot get over this hurdle myself."

"This duel made me realize my shortcomings. As the winner, you are qualified to criticize my swordsmanship. I want to become stronger... so..."

"So you want to take me as your master?"

Lu Sheng was a little confused about Clorinde's train of thought. It was true that the strong could humiliate the weak, but whether to humiliate them was up to the strong. How could a weak person rush to the door and beg the other party to humiliate him?

This is not some book world.

He couldn't help but suspect that Clorinde came with some kind of mission.

But that doesn't matter.

Lu Sheng believed that he could successfully tame Clorinde and definitely make her convinced!

This is a reasonable rebellion! It is definitely not what my second brother wants!

"Okay, I'll accept your apprenticeship, and you can stay in my detective agency as my assistant."

"Detective agency?" Clorinde was a little confused. "Did you really put up the sign on the door?"

Lu Sheng said frankly: "Yes, I have been acquitted now. I can do whatever I want in Fontaine, isn't that okay?"

"I didn't say no... I just feel a little confused. A strong man like you would actually stay in Fontaine as a little detective..."

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Lu Sheng smiled gently, "Since you volunteer to be my apprentice, as a master I have to show some appreciation. How about this, from today on, I will teach you a set of my own unique moves?"

Clorinde's eyes lit up instantly.

Although I became Sherlock's apprentice just to carry out the mission, it would be great if I could really learn something from him!

“Is it a very powerful trick?”

"Of course, after you learn this, you will definitely be several times stronger than you are now. This set of skills is a valuable experience accumulated from my many years of rich experience. I will pass it on to girls, not boys. I will only teach it to those who are destined to be with me."

Clorinde was confused and asked, "What's the trick?"
