I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 371: Tom, the Business Genius, the Magic Talisman
Throwing grenades before rushing to the point is basic common sense in the game.

After hearing the sound of the Five Thunder Talisman bombing, Su Fan entered the passage created by the stone box without hesitation.

Before entering, he not only wore the Lightning-Struck Wooden Knuckles, but also attached the Demon-Slaying Skill to his sword.

He made sure that Ron was safe at a glance, and appeared behind the ghost nun in the blink of an eye.

Even in the pure consciousness space, the demon slayer can still cause real damage to it.

However, the Duke of Snakes was as slippery as his name suggests, and this time he was able to escape.

But then again, hunting itself is a job that requires patience.

While keeping a distance and guarding against the prey's counterattack, you should constantly consume its strength, put pressure on it psychologically, and wait for the right opportunity.

Judging from the condition of the stone box, it can be used several more times.

It's a good opportunity to let the devil feel the feeling of being on edge.

Don't forget that this stone box can not only be used as a passage to travel between different places, but can also hypnotize others and intimidate them in dreams.

[Do demons dream? ]

Su Fan suddenly thought of an interesting question.

However, for now, we should put these thoughts aside.

Ron on the opposite side now seemed a little lost and hadn't said a word from the beginning to now.

"It's been such a long time since we last met, don't you even have the heart to reminisce?"

Su Fan placed his hands on the top of the stone box and rested his chin on it lazily.

"No, that's not it. I just feel useless."

It is clear that he has completely mastered the power that he possesses, and during his time as the head of the family, he has learned knowledge that he has never been exposed to before and obtained secrets that ordinary people do not know.

But at the critical moment, she was still so powerless, as if she was still that ignorant brain surgeon.

That feeling is really annoying, just like preparing carefully, putting on armor and going to the battlefield, but being easily stabbed and knocked off the horse by the enemy.

Hearing this, Su Fan felt torn between his conscience and his desires.

He originally wanted to say "If you're a rookie, just practice more" and raise his hands to be Baltan for once.

But seeing that Ron's annoyance and sadness were almost overflowing, he could only sigh.

"The enemy you are facing is a demon from the top level of hell, one of the seventy-two infamous demon gods."

"Even if you have extraordinary powers, you are still a lamb in their eyes. The difference is that you are a lamb that is smarter and stronger."

"It would be too reckless to attempt to confront them head-on."

Ron raised his head and stared at Su Fan with his ice-blue eyes for a long time.

"...Su, you haven't comforted anyone before."

Su Fan didn't say anything, just spread his hands.

He usually plays the bad guy who makes people who need comforting cry. Whether it is comforting others or being comforted by others, both experiences are quite fresh.

"Sounds painless?"

"No, it's very useful."

A hint of a smile appeared on Ron's lips.

It’s weird.

The depression that had previously weighed on my heart was swept away.

It was clear that his consolation was so poor that even if you didn't listen to the tone, just from the literal meaning, it sounded like a cold sermon.

But she was able to figure out what he really wanted to express from the subtle changes in his tone.

The fact that the other party comforted him made Ron even happier.

This reminded Ron of the back seat during his school days.

The quiet girl had a crush on the handsome boy in the class, but she didn't dare to say it.

Once, the other party gave the girl a small doll he brought back from the party, and then forgot about it.

The girl carefully kept the doll for two years.

Ron couldn't understand this behavior at the time. He just felt that secret love was too boring and was a one-man show.

It wasn't until she experienced it herself that she finally understood the feeling.

Is it because the person I like is an exotic man that makes me also have that kind of reservedness and restraint?
Ron didn't know.

She had never experienced this kind of feeling before, so she just felt it was novel.

"How are Peggy's family doing?"

"They are fine. The Mayfair branch of Britain has just picked them up."

Hearing this, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

Jenny being possessed and the paranormal phenomena in this house are actually all tricks used by the ghost nun to control the old man's soul.

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed and the old man's soul has been killed by him personally, there is naturally no need for him to engage in any conspiracy or trickery.

"Don't worry about what's going on in New Orleans, right?"

Su Fan asked casually.

"My family can still operate normally without me. But you can trust your shop to a vampire without any worries."

Ron has a good relationship with Scarlett and knows that Annie also has feelings for Su Fan.

When she called and found Alice, a stranger, she naturally wanted to find out more about her. However, she didn't expect that the people who sent her the information were those powerful people in the family who basically didn't care about worldly affairs.

There is a strict division of duties within the Mayfair family. Some people have the ability to be responsible for supernatural and extraordinary matters, while ordinary people are only responsible for secular work.

Therefore, Ron put aside all his official duties at that time to see who could be hired by Su Fan.

"Will vegetarian vampires force other vampires to drink only animal blood and hold parades?"

"No, they are already weak because they are vegetarians. If they dare to gather together to cause trouble again, their heads will be twisted off mercilessly."

"That's great! I wish the environmentalists in New Orleans were like this. They hold demonstrations every day, which has caused many of our family's projects to be unable to move forward."

"All they want is money. As long as the money is in place, they will immediately make you an environmental saint."

"I know, but this is blackmail, and I never accept blackmail."

Ron snorted coldly, appearing extremely tough and with a bit of the dignity of the head of a chaebol family.

But this majesty was quickly destroyed by Su Fan in just a few words.

"It's better to change yourself than to rely on others. If you can also be like the Volturi in the vampire family and twist off the heads of those who get in the way and kick them like a ball, they will soon voluntarily get out of the way."

Su Fan's tone is always so calm that people can't tell what he is thinking.

Ron couldn't help but recall that night. In the ancestral house filled with flames and heat waves, the black-haired young man was boiling with murderous intent, and he wanted to kill all the Mayfair family members who came to participate in the siege.

"……seriously?"

she asked subconsciously.

"of course not."

It was not until he saw the curve of Su Fan's mouth that Ron was sure that the other party was joking with him.

But Su Fan himself did not feel bored because he believed everything Ron said.

The patriarch in front of him, who had just taken office for less than a year, was the one in the entire Mayfair family with whom he had the deepest contact.

Even Ron subconsciously thought that he was a ruthless person who would kill at the slightest disagreement, so it went without saying how the family viewed him.

But this is exactly what Su Fan wants.

They saw the current situation clearly and at the same time they had considerable respect for him.

At least they won't use the tiger's skin as a banner to cause trouble everywhere and act tyrannically.

Su Fan didn't like this from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the chat was almost over, Su Fan also stood up from the sofa.

"It's about time we get down to business." "What business?"

Ron couldn't figure out what Su Fan was talking about.

"Of course it's a cat and mouse chase. Come on, I'll tell you on the way."
-
"Thank you very much for troubling you during this time."

In the police station, Katie talked to Albert and other plainclothes officers whom she met for the first time, and her words were very polite.

"It's ok."

Albert waved his hand gently, indicating that it was nothing.

"This is also to contribute our efforts to protect citizens, and it's really not something to be thanked for, it's just to get some signs to put up."

"You have already consulted with the higher-ups. Are there no problems at all?"

Tom's voice came from the side.

Katie turned her head and saw her good brother Tom, who was sitting in a recliner and chatting and laughing with other police officers.

If it weren't for the fact that his temperament was really incompatible with that of a police officer, Katie would have thought that this guy was one of them.

"The boss has already talked to them about this. The police chief has made it clear that this is not our responsibility, but we can still cooperate in placing roadblocks and evacuating the crowds."

"Of course, he also thinks you are making a fuss out of nothing. You only need to seal off the monastery. Why do you have to evacuate even the village a few kilometers away?"

"How should I know? I'll just tell you what Su tells me to do."

"Tom, can you take me to see with my own eyes the battle scene of that miraculous exorcist you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Tom slowly shook his head.

"A battle between extraordinary beings is not something that mortals can observe. Conservatively speaking, we have to retreat about two kilometers to avoid being affected."

Hearing this, many police officers sighed with regretful looks on their faces.

There is nothing in this world that can attract men more than exorcism battles.

Now, a miracle that only happens once in twenty years is happening right next to me, but I am unable to go and witness it with my own eyes. What a pity it is.

"but……"

Tom suddenly spoke, stretching out the syllables, and at the same time took out a telescope from his bag and began to explain incessantly.

"Here I have an exorcist telescope officially certified by the God of Crowbars. It can see clearly no matter how far away it is..."

Katie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Tom told her on the way here that he had a good idea to make money.

Selling random stuff to close friends, is this what he calls a good idea?
Katie's hands were about to move, but when there were people around, she suppressed the urge to twist the other person's ears.

"Isn't this just an ordinary telescope? Who are you trying to fool with this thing?"

Police officers below began to dismantle the stage.

Hearing this, Katie couldn't help but give the other person a blank look.

Treating others as fools, you're going to be embarrassed, right?

Tom was not panicked at all despite being teased by everyone. Instead, he slowly took out another transparent bottle the size of a knuckle.

"If you buy this telescope now, you can get a bottle of the magic potion that Su sprinkled on your eyes that night for free."

As soon as these words were spoken, many police officers rushed to extend their hands.

"Give me one" came one after another.

While dealing with the many police officers, Tom did not forget to look back at Katie proudly.

"Is that thing real?"

Albert came from behind and asked Katie in a low voice.

"……should be."

There are two kinds of liquids that can make ghosts see when applied to the eyes. One is the spiritual liquid like Su Fan's, and the other is cow's tears.

Compared to the dew on willow leaves at certain times on certain days, cow's tears are easier to obtain.

Katie speculated that Tom was using the latter.

"If there is any problem, I will bring him here to apologize to you all."

"Really? That's good."

Katie was about to apologize to Albert behind her when she saw him handing her a banknote.

"Please give me one too, thank you."

Katie: …
-
"I didn't expect that in such a short time, you've established such a good relationship with the police department here."

Ron, who was traveling with Su Fan, had a look of admiration on his face.

The Mayfair family has been working in Britain for a long time, so it is normal for them to have so many relationships.

But it took Su Fan four or five days to arrive in Britain, so it was not easy to achieve this.

"normal."

The appearance of evil spirits is always accompanied by murders, and modern exorcism requires the cooperation of law enforcement agencies.

If the latter obstructs him in every possible way, it will be difficult for Su Fan to carry out his work.

Now the two were walking quickly on the streets of London at night, heading towards the subway entrance.

Originally Ron wanted to call a special car, but Su Fan stopped him.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the morning meeting they were going to was a den of dragons and tigers.

One more driver is equivalent to one more burden.

The only public transportation available at this point is the subway.

"When we get to a place with fewer people, we'll speed up."

Su Fan whispered to Ron beside him.

"accelerate?"

Ron was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to say it.

No one knew better than her how fast Su Fan's movements were.

Although her physical condition has improved a little, it is still a bit difficult for her to keep up with the former.

Maybe I can only grit my teeth and go ahead.

Ron made up his mind and went all the way to the inside of the subway station.

It is now close to eleven o'clock and there are not many trains still running, all of them are the last trains.

The station was now empty, the bright lights only adding to its desolate feel.

From time to time, wind blew in from the dark tunnel, as if there was a giant dragon lying not far away, exhaling breath from its nostrils.

"Wow~ There's no one here."

Su Fan looked around with interest.

London's underground subway lines are intricate, empty and secretive.

It’s midnight again…

“It would be nice to have a detailed map of the subway lines.”

Su Fan muttered to himself.

You can run along the track all the way to your destination without having to wait for the bus.

"What did you say?"

Ron couldn't hear clearly because the sound of a train whizzing by could be heard not far away.

Su Fan glanced at the direction the train was coming from, and suddenly raised his hand and drew a talisman with spiritual power, which was the legs of Doomsday Ron.

The latter was startled and stepped back subconsciously, but he didn't expect that this step would actually span three or four meters!
"This, this is..."

"The Speed ​​Talisman. Increases the user's running speed."
