Chapter 43

Looking at Klein, Leonard nodded with a smile and said:

"Then what do you need from them?"

He has cooperated with Old Neil and others many times, and naturally understands that divination needs a medium, especially when the "protagonist" is not there.

Klein thought for a while, then looked at the housekeeper and said sharply:

"I need Elliott's recent unstarched clothes, and it would be nice to have accessories that he used to wear with him."

He tries to pick a normal medium, not something that would cause ordinary people to wonder.

But even so, the old housekeeper Keli was puzzled:

"why?"

After asking, he added:

"I have a picture of little Master Elliott with me."

Why? Because we want to find his whereabouts through divination... Klein didn't know how to answer for a while.

If I told the truth and didn't mention whether it would violate the confidentiality clause, the old housekeeper Celidus would probably turn his head and leave, directly tearing up the contract, and scolded in his heart: "These liars! If this can all be useful, I will also Why don't you go to the most famous psychic in Ahowa County!"

Leonard Mitchell next to him chuckled and said:

"Mr. Kelly, my companion, um, colleague, has a strange pet with a better sense of smell than a hound, so we need the clothes that little Elliot wore and the things he once carried to help find people. , you know, clues tend to only be locked in a general area."

"As for that photo, we need it too, he and I have to know what little Elliot looks like."

The old housekeeper Keli accepted this explanation and nodded slowly:

"Will you wait here, or come with me to Mr. Vicroll's place in town?"

"Let's go together to save time." Klein answered succinctly.

He not only wanted to try his own Beyonder skills, but also had the simple feelings of saving others.

"Okay, the carriage is downstairs." The old butler said sharply, taking a black and white photo from his pocket and handing it to Leonard.

This is a single photo of Elliot Vickroll. He is about ten years old. His hair is slightly longer, which almost covers his eyes. He has obvious freckles on his face, and he is not too distinctive.

Leonard glanced at it and handed it to Klein.

Klein took a closer look, put the photo in his pocket, put on his cane, put on his hat, and followed the two people in front of him out of the Blackthorn Security Company and into the carriage parked downstairs.

The interior of the carriage was quite spacious, with thick carpets and small tables for placing items.

Because of the presence of the old housekeeper Keli, neither Klein nor Leonard spoke, quietly feeling the carriage moving smoothly on the water-filled road amid the dwindling raindrops.

"Nice coachman." After some time, Leonard broke the silence and praised with a smile.

"Yeah." Klein responded perfunctorily.

The old housekeeper Keli squeezed out a smile and said:

"Your compliment is his honor, we are almost there..."

For fear of being noticed by the kidnappers, the carriage did not approach the residence of the tobacconist Vicroll, but stopped by a nearby street.

The old housekeeper Keli held an umbrella and returned alone. While waiting, Leonard said to Klein again:

"The last time I speculated on the reason, I didn't have any other purpose. I just wanted to tell you that the notebook will definitely appear again, maybe soon."

"This is really not a pleasant inference." Klein pointed with his chin to the position of the driver outside, indicating that he should not discuss sensitive topics when there are other people around.

Leonard whistled and turned his head to look out the window, only to see drops of rain sliding across the glass, leaving hazy marks, completely blurring the outside world.

After a while, Keli returned with a bag of things, because he walked too fast, his trousers were full of muddy water,

There are many wet marks on the front.

"This is the clothes that little Master Elliot wore yesterday. This is the storm charm he wore before."

Klein took a look and found that it was a miniature version of a gentleman's formal suit, a small shirt, a small vest, a small bow tie, etc., etc., etc.

The storm talisman had a bronze base and was engraved with symbols symbolizing the wind and waves, but it did not touch Klein's inspiration.

"I will now explain in detail the kidnapping of Young Master Elliott, so that you can target..." The old housekeeper Keli sat down and repeated the nightmarish experience in the morning, hoping that the helper he finally found could play a role.

Klein and Leonard were not interested in the specifics of what happened. They only cared about how many kidnappers there were, whether they showed anything unusual, and whether they were carrying weapons.

"Three", "Normal", "Has a gun"... After getting the information they wanted, they said goodbye to the old housekeeper Keli and hired a one-two-wheeled light carriage nearby.

Different from the stagecoach, this kind of employment has four or two wheels, which can be calculated by the kilometer or charged according to the time. The former is 4 pence for 1 km in the city, 8 pence for 1 km in the suburbs, and the latter is 2 soles per hour. If it is less than 1 hour, it will be counted as 1 hour. If it exceeds 1 hour, 6 pence will be added for every 15 minutes. If it is less than 15 minutes, it will be charged as 15 minutes. In case of bad weather or emergency situations that need to be accelerated, the price will be higher. float.

Klein heard Teacher Azik say that in Backlund, the capital, taxi drivers are famous for asking random prices.

For him, this is quite a luxury, but he doesn't have to worry about it at the moment, because Leonard directly threw two 1-soul banknotes to the coachman.

"It's counted by time." Leonard finished and closed the compartment door.

"Where are you going?" asked the coachman with two banknotes, both delighted and dazed.

"Wait a minute." Leonard turned his attention to Klein.

Klein nodded slightly, took out Elliott's clothes, spread them on the floor of the carriage, and wrapped the storm amulet around the end of his cane.

He held the silver-studded black cane and stabbed it straight on Elliott's clothes.

The "ball of light" in his mind condensed, and Klein's mood was fast and peaceful, and the brown color of his eyes darkened, and he entered a state of semi-meditation.

He only felt that the "spirit" of his body showed signs of becoming lighter and floating, and he vaguely saw the ubiquitous "spirit world", and silently recited "Elliot's position" in his heart.

After seven times, his hand left the black cane, and the cane didn't fall down, it always stood there, even though the carriage was shaking slightly!

There were subtle and invisible movements all around, and Klein seemed to feel the gaze of a pair of indifferent eyes.

During this period of time, he would occasionally experience similar feelings in the state of spiritual vision during meditation.

With these slight horrors, he stared at the cane with dark black eyes, and once again meditated in his heart:

"Elliott's location."

Just as he finished his silent recitation, the silver-studded, wooden, black cane fell down and fell straight ahead.

"Go straight." Klein held the cane and spoke in a low voice.

His voice was slightly ethereal, as if it could penetrate into the unknown world.

This is one of the divination abilities he has mastered, called "dividing stick to find objects", and the props must be wood, metal or a mixture of the two.

Normally, this would have to be done with two real augury sticks - shaped like a piece of unbent wire broken at right angles, then holding the shorter side and turning to determine the direction, but as a "diver", After practicing, Klein found that he could directly use this method of finding objects to find people, or he could use a cane instead of a divination stick, and the direction it fell was the direction of the thing he was looking for.

As for the notes of the Antigonus family, because Klein had no memory of what it looked like, he had no impression and could not find it.

"Go straight." Leonard instructed the driver in a loud voice, "I'll tell you when it's time to turn."

The coachman did not understand why he did this at all, but the banknotes in the inner pocket and the image of the other party giving money without hesitation made him not open his mouth and chose to accept it.

The carriage drove slowly, passing one street after another.

On the way, Klein used the Divination Stick to find objects several times to correct the direction.

After the carriage circled around a building, he finally confirmed that Elliott was inside, and it had just been thirty minutes since he said goodbye to the old butler, Keli.

After sending the coachman away, Klein didn't use Elliott's clothes any more, and slammed the cane wrapped around the Storm Amulet on the ground.

His eyes darkened again, and the few raindrops around him suddenly swirled in place.

The cane fell diagonally forward, and Klein pointed to a stairway and said:

"There."

"Sometimes, I envy Old Neil. Likewise, I envy you now." Looking at this scene, Leonard sighed with a smile.

Klein glanced at him and replied in a flat tone:

"This is not difficult. You can definitely learn if you want to... Your inspiration should be very high, right?"

Leonard nodded and chuckled:

"It's not a good thing."

He quickened his pace and walked into the stairwell in the rain with only the end left.

Klein was afraid of damaging his formal clothes, so he almost trotted to follow.

This building has only three floors, similar to a unit building on Earth. There are only two houses on each floor of the stairs at each entrance. Klein used the Divination Stick on the first floor and the second floor respectively. The sticks were steady, pointing straight up.

The two walked lightly and reached the third floor. Klein placed the silver-studded black cane lightly on the ground.

Woo!

A gust of wind blew across the stairs, and his eyes changed color, so dark that they seemed to suck the soul.

Woohoo!

There seemed to be invisible crying sounds all around.

Klein released his palm, and the cane wrapped around the Storm Amulet stood magically.

After reciting "Elliot's position" again, he watched his black cane fall down and silently pointed to the room on the right.

"It should be inside." Klein tapped his eyebrows twice as he picked up his cane.

As the various "colors" deepened, he looked at the door on the right, and directly saw the various "aura" inside.

"One, two, three, four...Three kidnappers and one hostage, the number is the same...One of them has a short aura, it should be Elliott...Mr. Kelly said that they have two shotguns and a revolver. ..." Klein said in a low voice.

Leonard laughed and said:

"Let me sing a poem to them."

"Why do you want to be a kidnapper, can't you be a civilized person happily?"

He put down the bag of Elliott's clothes and took two steps forward, his expression instantly calm and sad.

The magnetic deep voice slowly swayed:

"Ah, the threat of fear, the hope of crimson!

At least one thing is true: this life flies by.

One thing is true, the rest is a lie,

After the flowers bloom once, they will die forever..."
