Chapter 178 Trouble with the Seer (Reward Plus More)
"Intis?"
Xifa suddenly became interested. He wanted to learn about the Secret Order, but the Secret Order mainly operates in Intis, and suffers from the fact that there is no channel in the Kingdom of Loen. Now, he sees hope.
The watcher said that the Secret Order holds the "Seer" channel, so this Intis man should know something about the Secret Order.
"Can I understand the situation first, and then decide whether to accept the commission?"
Hearing Xifa's question, Cromwell made a gesture of 'of course', and then said, "May I arrange for you to meet in the afternoon?"
"He needs a bodyguard. That is to say, he may be in danger and may be targeted. In this case, set the meeting place in a crowded place. It is better not to let people know that he hired a bodyguard. good."
"In addition, the time is set at five o'clock in the afternoon, that is, in the evening."
Because at three o'clock, I still have a party, Xifa thought about it and made the above judgment.
Cromwell nodded: "No problem."
Four p.m.
Sifa, who was alone in the bedroom, frowned.
"Strange, why didn't he receive the summons, nothing will happen to Klein, right?"
"Speaking of which, today is already the 10th. The watchers said before that on the 9th, it was also yesterday that the Blackthorn Security Company will have a major incident. Could it be because of this that the Tarot Club was not held today?"
When the time came to 4:30, Xifa left the arbitrator's room after confirming that the Tarot Club would not be held today.
evening.
In the square in front of the Leverage Church, people were coming and going. After getting some information from the employer, Xifa walked across the square in the image of a gentleman, carrying a brand-new black suitcase, and startled a flock of white pigeons.
He sat down on the third-to-last horizontal bench on the west side of the square, and there was also a man wearing an old overcoat, a hat, a beard and a pair of black round-frame glasses sitting here.
Taking out a bag of bird feed from his pocket, Xifa casually threw it to the pigeons next to him, and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Carvin. Please don't look over here, we will communicate like this."
"Hello, Mr. Bodyguard." Judging from the voice, the man is not very old, about twenty-one or twenty.
"I've heard about you, but before deciding to accept the entrustment, I want to know what kind of trouble you may have encountered." Xifa threw some feed at random, attracting many pigeons.
Calvin said softly: "As you know, I'm from Intis, and I'm in trouble. I've been hunted down, and I'm already preparing to leave Backlund in the evening three days later."
"So, you just need to ensure my safety for these three days."
Xifa smiled softly: "I heard that you are a 'Seer', so can I guess that way, you are actually a member of the Secret Order?"
"Please don't be nervous. I'm not interested in your identity, but I need to be sure who my opponent will be. If the person chasing you is also a 'Seer', then I decided to give up this commission."
"It's very troublesome to deal with fortune-tellers, especially if they may be related to the Secret Order. I don't want to appear on the blacklist of that mysterious organization, and I may be used for divination every day."
When Calvin first heard about the Secret Order, his whole body tensed up, and then he gradually relaxed, and said with some surprise: "Mr. Bodyguard, I didn't expect you to even know about the 'Secret Order'."
Xifa shrugged his shoulders habitually: "In our business, we always collect such and such information. I don't want to become a thorn in the eyes of some mysterious organizations because of a certain entrustment. I want to live longer."
Calvin agreed and said: "Okay, let me tell you about my situation, you can refer to it. I used to be a nobleman of Intis. It's just that our family has come to an end in my generation."
"In order to revive the family, my father did not hesitate to sell his property and sent me to a secret order to become a 'divinator'."
"But it is a pity that although I successfully joined this organization, I have not been reused. I have been hovering on the fringes of the organization, doing some unimportant work."
"But my family can't sustain it anymore. My father can't wait for the day when I become stronger. Because of the debt, he can only declare bankruptcy and take it out on himself."
"Since then, my low status has plummeted even more. But I am not willing to be so mediocre all my life, so, so"
Having said that, Caving paused for a moment before continuing: "Anyway, I left the Secret Order and fled to the Kingdom of Loen."
"I have lived here for three months, and I thought I was safe. But just recently, I noticed that someone is asking for information about me."
"And recently, the opponent's pace is getting closer. I got revelation through divination that this person is here to kill me."
Xifa had already finished throwing away the feed in his hands, and the white pigeons on the square gathered in other places: "So, do you know the other party's information? You are a fortune teller, so this shouldn't be difficult for you."
Calvin shook his head: "I'm very scared. During this time, I can not go out without going out. Moreover, even if I am a fortune-teller, without the other party's related items, it is difficult for me to obtain the other party's information."
"However, one thing is certain, the other party is not a fortuneteller. Otherwise, I would have been found long ago."
"I understand the general situation, please wait a moment."
Sifa stood up, turned around and entered the church, took out a few soli and put it in the donation box, and then sat down in a corner where no one was there.
He took out the 'Seer's Coin' and said softly, "Karvin didn't lie."
Cifer flicked the coin and watched it land on the back of his hand, the side with the wizard hat on it.
"It seems that he did not lie."
Xifa thought for a while, and gave another divination sentence: "Karvin didn't tell the whole truth."
This time, the pattern is still facing up.
Xifa uttered the third divination sentence: "Will I take a huge risk in entrusting this time?"
The coin rolled in the air, and when it fell, Sifer saw the side with numbers.
"So be it."
Xifa put away the coins, returned to the square, and said quickly when passing by Kawen: "I accept the entrustment, and the bodyguard work will start from now on. You don't need to pay attention to me, I will protect you in secret."
He quickly walked away without looking at Calvin, as if he was just a stranger.
"but."
"I saw him yesterday. He was at the entrance of the subway." After walking far away, Xifa picked a hidden place and observed Calvin's surroundings, trying to find out possible dangerous people.
At the same time, I remembered that after bidding farewell to the lady writer yesterday afternoon, I bumped into the person who used coins for divination at the entrance of the subway and did not take the subway in the end.
That person is Calvin Brook.
It's just that he didn't wear fake paste and didn't wear round-frame glasses at that time.
Ke Xifa still recognized him from his demeanor and body shape.
Taking this as an association, he naturally thought of the man with light yellow soft hair and gloomy eyes who seemed to be looking for someone after he entered the platform.
"Maybe he is the one who wants to kill Calvin"
At this time, Mr. Fortune Teller had left the bench and walked out of the square. Xifa kept a relatively safe distance from him, pushed down his top hat, and followed with his suitcase.
After passing through an alley, Xifa turned into a company employee wearing a gray-blue coat and no top hat, but carrying a suitcase and a newspaper.
He put the props he had prepared early in the morning in the suitcase, so that he could simply change his outfit midway to ensure that no one would notice that someone was protecting Calvin.
