Chapter: 255
After leaving the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein, who was on a rest day, did not go home immediately, but took a public carriage to the dock area and arrived at the entrance of the "Dragon Bar".
He has thought about it. Although the "Seer" lacks direct means of defeating the enemy and does not have spells that can be cast quickly, there are many types of battles, not all of which are encounters. As long as there is sufficient preparation time, the "Seer" can also Use ritual magic against enemies, like he solved the mirror divination incident at Selena's house.
And this means that it is better for the "Seer" to carry some herbs, essential oils, small candles and other items with him, so as not to be unable to produce the materials when needed, and have to wait for death. I have a bunch of occult items in my home, just enough to be used.
As for the ones that were applied, Klein practiced too frequently and had almost used them up. The small pockets on the inside of his clothes contained the remaining parts.
He touched the banknotes in his pocket, pushed open the heavy door of the "Dragon Bar", and walked in.
It was in the afternoon at this time, and there were not many customers in the bar. There was no dog-catch-a-mouse competition, no boxing contest, and it seemed quite deserted and not lively enough.
Klein glanced at the two tables of guests who were drinking and playing cards, and was about to walk towards the billiard room leading to the underground trading market.
Just then, he saw a burly old man wearing a worn navy officer's coat come out.
"Are you the friend that Old Neil brought with you last time?" The blue-eyed old man with messy brown hair and strong alcohol smell sized Klein up and said with a smile.
Klein vaguely guessed the other party's identity, took off his hat and saluted, "Yes, I don't know what to call you?"
"Old Neil should have mentioned me to you. I'm the boss here, Swain." The blue-eyed old man had thick arms, strong muscles, and the air of an officer.
The former captain of the "Punisher" team in Tingen City... It is said that he once served in the Royal Navy... Klein responded politely: "Yes."
"If you are short of money temporarily, you can come to me." Swain said with a smile, ready to walk to the bar.
At this moment, Klein's heart moved, and he quickly shouted: "Wait a minute, Mr. Swain, I have something to ask you."
Swain stopped in his tracks, turned around halfway, and said with a smile: "You and you, um, your boss really looks alike."
No, I don't have a memory problem... The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he directly took out the portrait and said, "Have you ever seen this gentleman?"
It suddenly occurred to him just now that Selena should have been led into this underground trading market by Haynes Vansen, and even let Elizabeth know about the Dragon Bar. Mister who has a certain relationship has also been here before?
Swain took a closer look and replied affirmatively: "I remember him. He came to ask me if there were any documents and items related to the main peak of Hornages."
Documents and items related to the main peak of Hornages? Klein froze for a moment, and suddenly thought of another thing:
When he was borrowing periodicals related to the main peak of Honakis in the Deville Library, the administrator casually mentioned that someone had just returned them, so he remembered them clearly, and he didn't need to turn over the cards to confirm whether they existed.
Could it be that the gentleman in the portrait was the one who borrowed those periodicals and magazines before me?
The gentleman who witnessed the transaction of Antigonus' notes?
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility, otherwise, who would have borrowed those journals for nothing: "Well, the study of ancient ruins on the main peak of Hornacis is such an unpopular field, except for the corresponding lecturers and associate professors, most fans probably listen to it. I have never heard of it, and even the original owner, a college student who graduated from the history department, only learned about it from the Antigonus family's notes... Although Tingen City is a city of universities, it shouldn't have too many feelings about it. People who are interested... Even if there are, most of them exist on the university campus, and there is no need to go to the Deville Library to borrow books..."
"The most important thing is that the borrowed node happens to be during the recent period..."
"With such an analysis, there is really a problem. I was not sharp enough at the time, and I didn't even think of it... Hey, it seems that I don't have the talent to be a detective or play Sherlock Holmes...
As his thoughts flickered, Swain, the owner of the "Dragon Bar", asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"
Because there were customers and bartenders around, he could only ask in general terms.
"No problem. I'm just thinking about how to investigate this gentleman. You know, Haines Vincent died at home." Klein had already prepared his speech.
He didn't want the "Punishers" to be interested in the ancient ruins of the main peak of Hornages.
"Vancent is a well-known fortune teller in Tingen City, and he often comes to me." Swain was really perfunctory, and recalled, "Thinking about it carefully, the gentleman in the portrait was indeed with me at the beginning. Vincent came here together..." JrNovels.com
