Chapter 179 The Imminent Danger
East End, Black Palm Street.
After Xifa watched Cavin enter the house, he didn't rush in. He walked through the door and walked all the way to the end of the street.
Then he turned into an alley, circled around, and returned to the back alley of Calvin's house.
Xifa took out the "Seer's Coin" and whispered, "There is danger lurking in Calvin Brook's house."
He popped out the coin, saw that the numbered side was facing up, put the coin away with confidence, and tapped the window lightly.
Soon the window opened, Cavin took two steps back, and Sifa got in.
This is a simple house with a small area. The washroom and bathroom are not separated. There is only one living room and one bedroom.
Cavin apologized: "The previous residence was no longer safe, so I moved here, but because I was too hasty, I could only find such a house."
"Meow~"
With a meow, Xifa saw a blue cat approaching. Its chubby head slightly tilted its head to look at Sifa, and Sifa was very worried that it would say "good evening" suddenly.
In the end, the blue cat just walked past Xifa, rubbed against Cavin's feet, and was picked up by the fortune-teller.
"This is Lan Qi. I adopted it after I came to Backlund. I have raised it for three months. I was reluctant to throw it away, so I had to bring it here."
As he said that, Calvin put the cat on his shoulder like a baby, and then walked to the living room: "I'm sorry, I don't have tea or coffee beans here, only water."
Xifa didn't mind, he first put the suitcase on a patched single sofa in the living room, then turned around and returned to the living room and said: "I will set up some traps to ensure your safety. "
Calvin put the cat on the ground: "You can do whatever you want."
Xifa opened the suitcase, first took out the magical items such as Taidao 'Devil May Cry' and 'Guilty Bandage', then tied them around his waist and put them in his coat pocket for easy access at any time. Then he took out some wires, rattles and other things, ready to set up traps.
"By the way, do you have any candles at home?" Sifer closed a window and began to pull on the wire.
Calvin poured two glasses of boiling water: "I have a gas lamp, and I can afford a gas meter."
"No, no, that's for battle." Sifa glanced back at him, "Would you mind telling me about the Secret Order? I've always been curious about this organization, and I found that not many people know about them."
Calvin sat down on a single sofa, and the cat named Lan Qi jumped on his lap and lay down. Calvin stroked the blue cat and said: "This is normal. After all, we mainly operate in Intis, and even in Intis, our activity frequency is not high."
"My father didn't notice this at the time. Otherwise, he might have sent me to the Jagged Cross."
Xifa tried hard to recall that the Jagged Cross seems to be a secret organization that has mastered the hunter's path. I remember that the watcher said that this organization is also in Intis.
Calvin continued: "The Secret Order is a very dull organization. It is old enough, so the hierarchy is also extremely strict."
"During the time I stayed in the organization, apart from the occasional divination, the most I did was to read the books in the organization."
"Because it is old enough, the Secret Retreat Society has a rich collection of books. It just so happens that we fortune-tellers need this knowledge."
Xifa connected a rattle to the wire, and casually said, "Have you met the leader of the secret order?"
"leader?"
Cavin laughed: "Of course not, my status is low. And, I heard some news from the usual communication of some members."
"The leader of our secret order has not appeared for a long time."
Xifa looked at the living room and said, "It's too easy to be attacked here. There is no partition, and you can see the living room directly from the window."
"If someone shoots at a window in the street, there's even a chance they'll hit you."
"Speaking of which, does the secret cultivator have something to pursue?"
Carvin picked up the cup and took a sip of boiling water: "Of course, when I'm in the organization, I can always hear something."
"The relics of the Antigonus family, they seem to find ways to collect similar things from all over the world."
"By the way, a long time ago, it seems that a notebook of this family appeared in the Loen Kingdom. I remember that personnel transfer, and I was almost selected."
The Antigonus family?
Xifa remembered that in the original book, Klein encountered danger many times in the early stage because of this notebook?
"It sounds like this family is very old." Xifa tried his best to sound like he didn't really care.
Calvin nodded slightly: "It is indeed ancient. The Antigonus family is a nobleman of the Solomon Empire, and later supported the establishment of the Tudor Empire."
"It seems that this family has mastered the 'Seer Path', so our organization is interested in their relics."
"They used to be brilliant for a while, but unfortunately, they declined later."
"By the way, there are no candles at home, do I need to go out and buy them?"
Xifa shook his head: "No need, from now on, you will stay in the house until the evening of the third day."
"How do you plan to leave Backlund?"
"Steam train, I have asked someone to buy a ticket, I will go to Tingen. Live there for a while, and then think about where to go next."
Xifa was a little surprised: "Tingen? Well, if you are going to Tingen, I can introduce you to a place."
Calvin cast a questioning look.
"The Elk Bar is located in the southern part of Tingen. It also has a hunter club. I guess the hunters there will welcome a fortune-teller, because sometimes their brains are not particularly bright and they need a smart person to give them advice."
Xifa smiled and said: "Also, the club will provide you with some protection, at least you don't have to worry about your identity."
There was joy in Cavin's eyes: "Really? That's great, thank you, Mr. Bodyguard."
"In addition, there is a secret party in Tingen, you can go there to try your luck, maybe you can get the potion formula of Sequence 8."
"It's just that the level of the party is not high, so don't have too much hope."
Cavin nodded vigorously, and said sincerely: "It seems that my divination is not wrong. I got enlightenment from the divination, and hiring a bodyguard will be of great help to me."
"I originally thought that this was to deal with the coming danger. But now it seems that Mr. Bodyguard's appearance is more like fate making arrangements for my future path."
Boy, so I became your 'gentleman'?
"The imminent danger?" From Calvin's words, Xifa also noticed such a phrase, "You mean, you know when the danger will appear?"
"Yes, on Wednesday, I will be in danger."
Calvin looked annoyed: "But I don't know when it will come and in what form it will appear. The revelations we fortune-tellers get are always so vague, and only after the event will we be enlightened and understand the revelations." true meaning."
