Chapter 14 The Same Night
After listening to the narration of "The Hanged Man", Klein inevitably thought of "Red Angel" Medici and the evil spirit in the underground ruins.
However, he did not share the findings of this exploration. First, it is not necessary for the time being, and second, it involves Miss Sharon.
As for the other members, they already knew the news about the destruction of Bansy Port last time, and the "Hanged Man" did not disclose any new information, so naturally they had no intention of responding.
Seeing that no one spoke, Alger glanced at "The World", retracted his gaze, and said calmly:
"It's your turn."
"The Hermit" Cattleya immediately turned her head and looked at "Magician" Forsi:
"Ma'am, what else do you know about Mister 'Gate'? I can pay you accordingly."
Fors, who originally didn't want to reveal her own problem, hesitated suddenly when she heard the last half of the sentence, and was shaken for a while.
The reward, I don’t know how much Ms. "Hermit" can give me... I don’t know much about Mr. "Gate"... And part of it comes from Mr. "Fool"’s words... "Magician" Forsi Looking at the top of the long bronze table again:
"Dear Mister Fool, may I speak?"
Because every time there is a full moon, he will see each other. Klein knew that Miss "Magician"'s financial situation is not very good, so he smiled and nodded:
"Can."
Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Cattleya the Hermit:
"For 500 pounds, you can apply for private communication."
Cattleya didn't counter-offer, she thought about it and said:
"No, just tell me."
She hoped that other members would think of more about Mr. "Gate" after hearing what Ms. "Magician" said.
Fors nodded her head, considered her words and said:
"I once got a magical item, which can help people to travel through the spiritual world, but after using it, whenever the full moon or blood moon is on, I will hear strange ravings, which will bring almost uncontrollable pain.
"And according to Mr. Fool, this rambling comes from Mr. Gate."
She paused for a second and added:
"He may be asking for help."
It turns out that Fors is suffering in silence... She usually doesn't show it at all, she always looks like she's enjoying life... "Justice" Audrey subconsciously sympathizes with her friends, while criticizing herself for being ineffective Use the ability of "spectator" to find out what's wrong with Forsi.
The mystical items that travel through the spirit world... the ravings during the full moon... seem to be asking for help... "The Hermit" Cattleya repeated the key points in Miss "Magician"'s words in her heart, nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Thank you for the description."
Her eyes then swept over the other members, and regrettably found that no one had any additional reactions.
The free exchange continued and came to an end without any disturbance.
After watching the members leave and helping them complete the substantive part of several transactions, Klein returned to the real world, sat down in an easy chair with a slight sense of relaxation, and rested for a while.
Then, he walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Sharon, telling her that the lucky necklace had been sold, and only the "Biotoxin Bottle" was left, as well as the Extraordinary characteristics of "Madman".
After folding the letter paper and writing the information on No. 126, Gard Street, Hillston District, Mrs. Mariya, etc., Klein opened the iron cigarette case again, and let the "Admiral of Blood" Senior appear in the air without a sound. beside.
Like a personal servant, this "wraith" humbly picked up the letter on the table and disappeared into the room.
At a mailbox a few blocks away, a letter was born out of thin air and fell inside.
…………
East Chester County, inside the castle of the Hall family.
Audrey looked at the mirror with unfocused green eyes, and all the contents of "Book of Secrets" echoed in her mind.
These knowledges are intertwined to form an illusory book, which can be presented once recalled, and the corresponding pages can be read according to the idea.
This is the product of Klein's ability to directly mobilize a little power in the mysterious space above the gray mist, combining the information he bestowed with the "Seer's" dream recall ability.
Can last one to two weeks.
And this is enough for Audrey to finish reading "Book of Secrets", and if there is something unclear in the future, she can continue to ask for gifts.
"Mr. Fool's condition seems to be getting better and better..." Audrey thought happily, her eyes gradually regaining their brilliance.
She stood up, walked towards the door, and smiled at the big golden retriever dog sitting outside bored:
"Susie, you don't look like a lady."
Susie looked around vigilantly, sniffed, and then said:
"This is the most standard action in hound training."
But you are not a qualified hunting dog... Audrey sneered, and said with a smile:
"I thought you would answer me like this: Audrey, I'm just a dog~"
Susie responded seriously:
"Excessively repetitive words are easy to be grasped by others to their own habits and mental activities.
"Audrey, that's what the psychology book said."
...Audrey couldn't find a word to respond to for a while, and at this moment, she saw her father, Earl Hall, leading a personal servant, an attendant, walking up the stairs of the castle.
And even though it was sunny outside, the place was still gloomy and gloomy. Some candlesticks were even lit, and they were embedded on the wall, illuminating the steps.
"This castle is so old, I think it must undergo a major renovation." Earl Hall complained casually to his daughter.
Audrey nodded reservedly and said:
"Yes, my dear count, that's what I don't like here, it makes me feel like I'm slowly rotting away."
"But in fact, I spend 13,000 pounds every year to repair this place." Earl Hall sighed with a smile.
Audrey glanced at Susie, smiled at her father and said:
"Dad, what do you need from me?"
Earl Hall pointed to the paper in the attendant's hand and said:
"A telegram from Backlund, someone is selling 10% of the bicycle company's shares, baby, are you interested? I think this industry has a very bright future, and it is far from meeting the lowest expectations."
"Bicycle?" Audrey was quite unfamiliar with this term, her eyes turned slightly with a confused expression.
Earl Hall smiled and looked at his daughter and said:
"A two-wheeled machine for people to ride, you can understand it as a carriage for ordinary people.
"In Loen and Backlund, the largest number of people are not nobles or businessmen, but ordinary people engaged in manual labor, followed by the more skilled and status-oriented types among them. This is the group targeted by bicycles. , They have an absolute majority and a certain purchasing power, even if only 10% are willing to buy bicycles, this company can achieve very good development.
"Well, they have the corresponding patents."
Audrey believed her father's vision and understood the prospect described by Earl Hall, she nodded slightly:
"How much is that 10% stake worth?"
"According to preliminary investigations, Backlund Bicycle Company is currently only worth 50,000 pounds. This is because the promotion and sales of products still need time to brew. Therefore, we cannot simply think that 10% of the shares are only worth 5,000 pounds. My The suggestion is that the first round offer is 8,000 pounds, and the psychological reserve price is 15,000 pounds, and I will send someone to help you take care of this matter." Earl Hall said succinctly.
About 10,000 pounds... I have almost used up all my cash this month... Audrey said with a little embarrassment:
"Father, I can't afford this money at once, and it will take a certain amount of time to sell stocks, real estate, or mines, or wait for their income."
Earl Hall laughed and said:
"You don't need to be so troublesome. You can get enough cash by pledging the shares of Backlund Arms Group or Pritz Commercial Shipping Company to the bank for a short period of time. When the matter is over, you can pledge the shares of the bicycle company to the bank for a long time. The loan repays the previous loan.
"In this way, you only need to pay a higher interest rate of one to two weeks to complete the transaction, and the annual dividends of the bicycle company are enough to cover the interest on long-term loans, so that you can patiently wait for the appreciation, which is a high probability thing .”
Although Audrey has not received a complete business and financial education, she has a father who is a big banker and is not unfamiliar with similar things. After a little thought, she understood the whole process, and asked in confirmation:
"That is to say, I only need to pay two or three hundred pounds to get 10% of the bicycle company's shares?"
"Maybe a little less." Earl Hall said with a smile.
Audrey understood what her father meant. As the largest shareholder of Bavat Bank and the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, he was capable enough to allow his daughter to obtain short-term loans with reasonable interest.
"Thank you, dear count." With a smile on her face, Audrey lifted her skirt and saluted.
…………
Under the moonlight at night, the water was dark blue and almost black. Alger Wilson stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the quietly crawling silhouette of Pasu Island.
This is the headquarters of the Church of the Storm, a place favored by the true God!
As a middle-level member of the church, Alger remembered that he had only been here three times. One was to find the "Blue Avenger" and was promoted to "Navigator"; one was to report on his duties last year; A mixed-race boy with dark blue hair was selected into the headquarters to be a part of the children's choir, but he was sent away without any singing talent, and returned to work as a servant in the small church on the island where he was born, while the priest there He is very rude to his subordinates.
Whenever he recalled this experience, his expression would become rather solemn, eager to ascend to a high position.
Amidst the sound of the wind, the "Blue Avenger" moved forward quietly and headed for the port.
…………
Backlund, who had also entered the night, and Emlyn White, who was wearing a neat formal suit and a silk top hat, lurked outside the mansion of another blood baron, Russ Bathory.
He believed that the other party would take action soon and take back the bait, and for a blood race, such a night with a red moon was very suitable for hunting.
After an unknown amount of time, Emlyn's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a figure jumping down from the window facing the back of the house, and landed silently.
