Bad luck

Neph didn't interrupt Laila's distraction. The bard's music had become intermittent. She turned around to look and found that she was drunk.

She shook her head and glanced at Laila. Just as she was considering whether to leave, Spirituality was suddenly touched. Neph frowned and looked. The person who entered the door was a young man in his twenties or thirties. His eyebrows were trimmed very thin, his brown hair fell to his shoulders, his facial features were very delicate, and he was wearing cheap cosmetics.

His face was pale, and his legs seemed to be stumbling as he walked. He stumbled to the bar, where he suddenly fell on the bar, revealing a pair of wide-open eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "One cup----"

Just opening his mouth seemed to have opened some kind of seal. Neveu saw his face distorted. He covered his mouth and retched twice, then raised his pale face again and said in panic, "A cup of Liangqi----"

Neph frowned little by little.

Sequence 9----It shouldn't take long to be promoted----"Assassin"Pathway----This voice----hiss, he is definitely pinching his throat, I'm getting goosebumps----and this may not be a habit, he is in a bad state now, he must have no energy----Oh, it turns out he just killed someone, I said----Wait, who is that?

The flash of Trissy's face made Neph's smile disappear. When he looked at this person again, Neph's expression had turned into a kind of pity mixed with various emotions.

Laila came to her senses a little before that. She didn't speak. It wasn't until the man sat in the corner with Lielangqi, drank the wine in one gulp, and then coughed violently that Laila asked, "Is this also an acquaintance of yours?"

"No----" Neph said carefully, "I just didn't expect to see----meet her."

--This is Sherman, Shermane, the mistress of Viscount Stratford. She is exactly Trissy's plan!

"----She?" Laila looked at Sherman blankly for a few times. She had recovered from her cough and was sitting on her seat with a pale face, as if she was remembering something.

"Hmm----" Neph rubbed his fingertips, looking for a language that Laila could understand, "Fate made a joke with her. She has a female soul and a male body."

Laila's face showed some astonishment. She seemed to be confused about this state. She couldn't help but glance at Sherman again, picked up the wine glass at hand and took a sip, as if to calm her mood, but it had the opposite effect.

Neph watched helplessly as she choked on a mouthful of wine and coughed violently. He couldn't help but glance at Sherman, who had calmed down, and his expression was full of hesitation.

Probably because the strength of the wine was not that high, Laila's cough was not that violent. She stopped panting, and Neph confirmed to her. "I remember you told me before that you have passed the most unlucky stage, right?"

"Yes," Laila nodded, "but I don't know why, I've always been very unlucky recently. Fortunately, this kind of harmless bad luck is a good thing for Winner". I can accumulate more luck for emergencies."

She didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, and Neph didn't try to persuade her. She asked, "Speaking of which, why did you come to me?"

"You have answered my question," Laila responded, "I came here precisely for that investigation, and my intuition tells me that you can get the answers I need here."

"----"Neph raised his hand to hold his forehead, "Okay, okay----"

She left.

Cherwood Borough, Coyem Company outside the door.

--

Klein got off the carriage and glanced around. It seemed that he had never been here before, and he felt a strong sense of freshness.

But in fact, he is not unfamiliar with the neighborhood. He knows that across the road is Gadriel Department Store, which is very popular among the middle class, and he knows that there is a famous Xin's Desi Pie not far away.

It's delicious----Maybe I can ask Neph to buy one for me----

Klein withdrew his gaze and led Personal Valet Richardson towards the door of Coyem Company.

This was the meeting that he and Mrs. Mary had agreed upon. This company was a legacy left to her by Mrs. Mary's father. After the bill to control air pollution was passed, Coyem Company developed rapidly, a large number of shares began to be concentrated, and Mrs. Mary's controlling stake was at risk.

Mrs. Mary didn't want to lose this inheritance, but the cash flow in her hands was insufficient, so she found Dwayne Dantès for help. In exchange, she would help Dwayne Dantès enter the upper class society.

Klein did not mention this matter to Neph. Investment is what Dwayne Dantès must do. Faced with short-term investment opportunities that come to his door, Klein can completely confirm them by himself and does not need anyone else's advice.

After greetings and understanding the situation, it was a classic social session. Klein was taken to the second floor and entered the large conference room.

The place has been arranged in advance, with tables placed against the walls, and plates of food scattered on them, mainly cold foods such as ham, bacon, sausages, bread, salads, cakes, and puddings, but there are also a small number of hot dishes.

As soon as they got started, Mary introduced Dwayne Dantès to two men who were standing nearby to communicate, "This is Mike Joseph, a reporter from "Daily Observer", and this is Aaron Chris, an excellent surgeon. At Backlund, you will always need them when you need them."

Aaron·Kris!

Klein was shocked. He suppressed the strange expression on his face, smiled and nodded, chatting briefly while observing Aaron Chris.

This doctor is the father of Will Ascetin. Klein still remembers Neph's commission, but the "first" meeting was obviously not suitable to ask about the other party's unborn child. Klein only chatted with them a few words about simple topics such as the weather, and planned to get acquainted with Doctor Aaron again in the future.

"Have you seen Doctor Aaron?" Neph held Xin's Desi Pie and asked while chewing.

Klein nodded, briefly stated the cause and effect, and then added, "I have never been able to see him at the party before, but now I finally have the opportunity. I think I can take this opportunity to get familiar with him."

Neph nodded his head and asked him, "How does that doctor look like?"

"Very cold," Klein thought for a while and commented, "I think he is not in a good mood. In other words, his wife's pregnancy probably did not go well."

He paused and then added, "But it seems that it's normal for things to go wrong. I even doubt that the child -"

He didn't say any more, and Neph didn't add anything. Klein sighed helplessly and said to Neph, "Speaking of which, what do you know about Witchcraft Abomination?"

"Ah,"

Neph blinked, "Your main material?"

"Yes," Klein admitted, "I asked Edwina, Mr. Azik and Arrodes respectively, and also posted tasks on Tarot Club, but I couldn't find any clues about this kind of Monster----"

"You can find Little Sun", Neph thought for a while and said, "There is this kind of Monster near City of Silver. There, they call this kind of Monster Shapeshifter"."

Klein wrote it down, Neph thought about it and asked, "What about Spirit World Plunderer? Have you found it?"

Klein nodded and replied with a relaxed look, "It is said that they live in Calderón City, this is Red Light" the answer jointly given by El Moria and Sharron, oh yes, Edwina also confirmed this----"

"Wait a minute," Neph raised his hand, "Why is there something happening with Edwina again?"

Klein smiled slightly and explained, "Because I found that Church of Knowledge and Beyonder are very happy when someone asks them for advice - at least Edwina is very happy."

Neph squirmed his lips but was unable to speak. Klein added, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to know yet? Edwina told me that there is a new crew member on Golden Dream. It used to be a powerful Adventurer, and a bounty Hunter. I remember it was called-----

"Anderson·Hood?"

He gave a name that was completely unexpected by Neph.

"----Are you kidding?" Neph stared at him, trying to analyze.

"Is there any problem with this?" Klein looked at Neph in confusion.

Neph was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I want to go Golden Dream", please ask Edwina where she is now."

"No----" Klein's expression became confused, "Why?"

"She's fishing for me," Neph took a breath, "Or maybe it's not just her."

"Then you took the bait like that?" Klein looked at her with a rather puzzled look.

"As long as you don't let me go to Lenburg----" Neph pinched his eyebrows, "Okay, it's not impossible to go to Lenburg----but I definitely won't go to Church of Knowledge, unless I can get a similar Medallion from Church of Knowledge."

Klein stopped expressing his opinion, he warned, "Then you have to go and come back quickly, well, safety comes first.

"I am looking for the coordinates and related information of Calderón City, and I have entrusted Magician." Miss, there is no result yet, I am still thinking, please help me when I get the result----Well, I am considering calling Reinette Tinekerr too----"

"----You don't have to worry about your Messenger," Neph shook his head, "Calderón City is special enough that beings above Angel cannot enter. They can only watch from the outside and cannot help you."

Klein was surprised for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "In other words, the most I can ask for is help from Saint level?"

Neph nodded slightly, stuffed the remaining Desi Pie into his mouth, and then commented. "I found that you still know how to eat - well, next time you find a delicious restaurant, remember to tell me."

"----?" Klein looked hesitantly at Neph who was holding up Sweet Iced Tea, and fell into deep thought, "I actually have a question to ask you."

"What?" Neph looked up at him.

"Do you need to poop?" Klein asked her without changing her expression, "I don't think I've ever seen you poop before.

"----" Neph put down Sweet Iced Tea in his hand, "I have never seen you have a relationship with a man or a woman, nor have I seen you solve problems on your own. Are you----"

She tapped Klein's lower abdomen with her chin, a lively questioning look on her face.

"----Thank you, I know the answer," Klein clenched his fists, "But I still hope you will answer the question differently next time."

"I also hope you won't ask such idiotic questions next time," Neph rolled his eyes, "I'm not the real God. Of course I will have normal physiological activities - even if it's a little less, there are still some, just like Sleepless"You can't really not sleep!"

"I'm sorry," Klein confessed, "But speaking of this, Demigod's needs for food and sleep have decreased, right?"

"That's true." Neph nodded and approved this sentence.

"Then----" Klein said after careful consideration, "Demigod level Sleepless", can you really not sleep?"

"----?" Neph fell into deep thought, "Maybe I can ask you if I have a chance.

",

She paused, then shook her head and said, "No, forget it, you can find Leonard. He is at Church of Evernight every day, so he should have many opportunities to ask this question."

Klein nodded thoughtfully. He watched Neph leave. After pondering for a few seconds, he stood up and left Sitting Room. He went to the study and said to Personal Valet Richardson, "I will read for a while. Don't let anyone come in for half an hour."

"Yes." Richardson bowed his eyebrows and exited the room.

As "Soul Assurer" of Sequence 6, Leonard only needs two hours of sleep every day. He is usually used to sleeping from 11pm to 1am the next morning. Of course, this is when there are no tasks.

Like today, his sleeping time was forced to move to the afternoon.

The energetic Leonard walked out of the house and habitually opened the mailbox to check - he already knew that his former colleague had his own Messenger, and the letter would be placed in the mailbox by Messenger.

Most of the time, his mailbox is empty. Leonard thought that today would be no exception. Unexpectedly, when he opened the mailbox, there was a letter lying quietly inside.

"Has his Messenger arrived?" Leonard picked up the letter and asked in surprise.

Pallez didn't respond, and Leonard didn't care. He raised his hand to open the envelope and found an inexplicable question written on it, "Sleepless" Does Demigod of Pathway still need to sleep?"

Leonard fell into deep thought.

"Your former colleague is really an interesting person," the old voice in his mind commented, "Maybe you should ask your Church's Demigod."

"----"Leonard collected the letter without saying a word, without making any comments, and took the subway to Saint Samuel Church.

He walked into the church Underground and found Archbishop Anthony, who rarely appeared in the lobby. After hesitating for a few seconds, Leonard walked over and said hello, "Good afternoon, Archbishop."

"Good afternoon." Anthony·Stevenson nodded.

Leonard was silent for a few more seconds. Then Anthony·Stevenson raised his head and expressed his doubts.

When looking at him with confused eyes, he finally squeezed out the question, "Archbishop, do you still need to sleep?"
