Chapter 143: A healthy soul resides in a healthy body, not shameful

"Boss, there's a detective who calls himself Kerr looking for you."

Assistant Kelly knocked on the open office door and said to Wayne, who was writing furiously, "He's in the conference room. Do you want to meet him?"

Wayne looked at his watch in confusion. It had only been an hour since he called Kerr. "Let him wait another ten minutes and say I'm busy. It's better to find an excuse for him to leave. This guy is too troublesome."

As he spoke, Wayne buried his head and continued writing in his diary.

Veronica's demands have been increasing recently. Every time they practice sparring, she would urge him to update his diary. God, his future diary has already been written up to March of next year.

How can one be so urgent to update? What he wrote is a documentary diary, focusing on truth, not a novel. It is not good to make up things without real experience.

Fortunately, he has developed a good habit of reading. He has been reading recently, especially history books, and has learned a lot of jokes and routines. Otherwise, he would not be able to write them down without knowing them.

Half an hour later, Wayne put down his pen and placed the diary openly on his desk.

He stood up and stretched his arms, then walked towards the meeting room unsteadily. He quickened his pace when he reached the door, apologizing for being late. "Sorry for the long wait. I was really busy. Let's go. We can talk on the way."

"Where?"

Kerr was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Aren't you going to treat me to a meal? We just talked about it on the phone." Wayne looked surprised.

That's what you agreed to, not me.

Kerr put down the coffee cup in his hand: "Your coffee is good, I thought it would be cheap, I can't believe you are willing to spend money on it."

"My clients are well-educated and move around in high society. Cheap coffee will lower the quality of my detective agency. Once clients start to look down on me, when they quote me a price, they will..."

Wayne took it subconsciously, stopped talking in time, and said unhappily: "Don't change the subject, where are we going to eat?"

"I won't treat you. What's the point of two men having dinner together? This is Lundan and people will misunderstand us. Let my sister Mona do it for me."

Kerr shrugged and looked at Wayne curiously: "From your superficial aesthetic point of view, she is definitely a beauty, with a good figure and a good personality. Don't you plan to pursue her?"

You clergymen, why do you speak and act like pimps?
She is a nun, not a saint!
Wayne rolled his eyes. It was obvious that Mona came to the detective agency for a purpose. He was so bored that he had to tease her. If he had the time, he might as well improve his favorability with the three ships.

Putting this reason aside, he is very loyal in love. The day he first met Mona, he did not trigger the throbbing of first love and actively pursue her. What is the difference between this and lusting after her body?

Bah, what a slut!

"Wayne, let me ask you a question. What's wrong with my sister?"

Who asked you to ask this? From the Vatican?
"She's too old, she's in her thirties. I'm different. I'm still young and I deserve an eighteen-year-old girl."

Wayne was very perfunctory and hoped that Kerr would convey a message to the Vatican that he was a serious man and was not interested in women. Instead of wasting time on him, it would be better to focus more on the devil in London.

"By the way, speaking of Detective Mona, I asked you to notify her family to collect the body. Have you done that?" Wayne reminded.

Although I don’t know what kind of trouble Mona encountered, but to force a silver wizard to pack up and run away, it must be a hell of faith to start with.

“We notified them, but no one cared.”

Kerr took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Her family situation is quite complicated. She is a businessman and has been suppressed by the local consortium. She suffered heavy losses in blocking competitors some time ago. The elders in her family are now bedridden and she is still on IV drip. How can she have time to take care of her?"

Having said that, he gave Wayne a look.

That’s all I have to say. The rest is up to you to experience!
Wayne was amused: "Aren't you two a reconstituted family? Her elders are your elders, aren't you worried at all?"

"I am not even a branch of the family, I have no right of inheritance, and they don't like me very much. I left the family a long time ago to work on my own."

"I don't quite understand. Please explain in detail."

"Let's put it this way. It's like two detective agencies. One offers a higher price, so I switch."

What do you mean, you are also a member of the Free Mage League?
Wayne was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true. Kerr was in the White Glove Organization Association. The White Glove Association belonged to the Windsor royal family and had an inseparable relationship with the Free Mage Alliance.

"Her elders couldn't get out of bed, so they paid me to help. The price was very high. I had no reason to go against the money, so I simply agreed." Kerr explained the reason why he came to Wayne. It was not safe to go alone, so he took out half of the commission and invited Wayne to go on the journey together.

"After all, she is your employee and has been exploited by you. For the Queen's sake, why don't you come with me to Eclipse Town?"

Why does it have to be me?
Wayne raised his eyebrows. He had refused several times, but he finally came to the door...

Fishing?
"I'm afraid that's not possible. I'm really too busy."

"Half is already a lot, a full 50,000 constitutional orders, which is bigger than the order of the White Glove Association. You can't make so much no matter what you do." Kerr put down the coffee cup.

That’s not necessarily true. I’ve been losing money on investments recently, so I picked up a mother for free, so I’m making a killing!

Wayne grumbled and waited for the price to go up. In fact, even if he didn't have 50,000 magistrates, he was ready to go out for a stroll.

He was promoted to Silver and was in urgent need of help from his fellow villagers. In Xifei's study, he found the meditation array used by Gold Mages. He was so happy that he stayed up late to work overtime and set up thirty of them in the sewer in one night.

Later it was reduced to two!
Afraid of baldness!!
The meditation circle can call upon the four elements nearby to come closer actively, which is the elemental version of the spirit gathering circle. Wayne has used it before, and the effect is excellent and the experience is great.

The meditation array used exclusively by the Golden Mage is even more powerful, and is usually only set up in the large strongholds of various churches. Due to its terrifying extraction effect, it is illegal to use it without permission. The person will be labeled a black magician and become the darling of bounty hunters.

There is a saying that goes, you can't just grab one person to get the wool. If you grab the wool like that person, even a blind person can see it.

Even rabbits know not to eat grass near their nests!
With his method of pulling, although Lundan will not turn into that person, thirty spirit gathering arrays are thirty elemental forbidden areas, which is approximately equal to thirty alopecia areata when rounded off. Even a blind person can see it.

Two are enough, don't go too far. After all, the four elements are public resources.

If you really can't help it and have to do something illegal, that's not a bad idea. Just find a place with fewer magicians, shoot your way around, and move to another place. Once you've wiped out all the magicians, there's no way to investigate.

The Eclipse Town where Mona is located is quite good. It is 100 kilometers away from Lundan and next to Jianhe County. It has a small population and no church strongholds. There are several spirit gathering arrays set up along the way. It’s impulsive to just run away after absorbing the spirits.

Wayne originally planned to take a sneak peek when he went to Jianhe County, but now he can go to Eclipse Town to get the same effect. He can then return to Jianhe County to check in and save on gas.

perfect!

However, I can't say this to Kerr. He spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. If I want him to go on a long trip, I have to pay more.

It would be best to increase it to 18!
In the end, after some bargaining, the two men settled on the commission amount of 8.

Wayne looked at Kerr in confusion: "As far as I know, her family is very stingy. Why did she have to find me when she spent such a huge sum of money? Why did she have to find someone else?"

"What do you mean, I don't understand?"

"No, you got it, that's what I meant."

Kerr's heart skipped a beat. Since the matter had been exposed, he simply didn't hide it. He looked around and said, "Her family has an informant in the White Glove Association... Don't look, it's really not me. After the evil god of Dragon Heart Island descended last time, she asked me for help and applied for your detective agency."

"and then?"

"That's all I know."

Kerr shrugged. He asked, but Mona refused to say. According to the Vatican's style of doing things, it is very likely that Mona herself doesn't know what she is looking for.

Wayne raised his hand and touched his chin. Could it be that the Church was also looking for the Son of God or the Paladin? Because he drove away the Blood Tyrant, he was recognized as one of the Church's own? "Wayne, when are you going to leave?"

"I'm going home to get something. We'll meet here in half an hour and then we'll set off." Wayne wanted to put the diary back in the bedroom and take a pistol with him for self-defense.

People in Windsor are afraid of gun violence!
"Okay, I'll go back to the detective agency. I happen to have a commission not far from Eclipse Town. After I find Mona, I'll go to Silent Hill. See you in half an hour. Don't be late this time."

Kerr was not serious about the mission of finding Mona. He was just a messenger and could not let a small matter of the Vatican delay his making big money.

"Wh, what ridge?"

Wayne scratched his ears, suspecting he had heard it wrong.

"silent Hill."

Oh, it turns out to be the Dumb Village!

Wayne's eyelids jumped. The name sounded very weird. He said kindly, "I've been to Jianhe County. The university life there is very good. I lived there for a while. I think I know the area around Jianhe County very well. I have never seen the name 'Silent Hill' on the map."

"It's a small place, so it's normal that it's not marked on the map."

"Okay, call the detective agency if you have any questions. The assistant will notify me. Remember to give me half of the money then."

"Wayne, you're too sensitive. Not everything is wrong."

"maybe……"

It's hard to say about other places, but there must be something wrong with such an evil name as Silent Hill. He bet 50 cents that Kerr would encounter evil on this trip.

----

Half an hour later, the two cars drove one after the other towards the outskirts of Lundeng.

Kerr drove in front to lead the way, and Wayne strictly abided by traffic rules and followed closely behind at a safe driving distance.

When Wayne saw Kerr driving his own car instead of riding with him, he knew that this guy was going to leave as soon as he got to the place. His attitude was so perfunctory and he didn't care at all. He was definitely not a member of the Vatican.

Kerr has been working in the detective industry for many years and is very familiar with the road conditions in and around Lundan. The experienced driver does not need a map and takes shortcuts all the way. Wayne arrived at Eclipse Town before he could figure out the way.

"What a lousy road you're walking on. It's too narrow."

"Just tell me whether it's fast or not!"

Kerr looked at his watch. It was tea time. He took Wayne for a walk around the town and accurately found the nearest bar.

Eclipse Town is not a prosperous town. Like other rural towns, it is affected by industrialization and a large number of people have moved to cities, making it look quite depressed.

It is also a small town, but because of its remote location and the lack of trains, it is much worse than the egg-producing town of Enrolde.

Given the general environment, the bar's business was not very good. When the two men entered, the bartender was dozing off on the bar.

Kerr ordered a light meal and a beer. Seeing that Wayne only ordered two sandwiches, he nodded and praised, "That's right, you should drink less in the bar. Drinking too much can make you pregnant. I've seen many people like this. They don't know who the father of their child is when they wake up."

Stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, and then find someone to help you after you finish eating.

Wayne was too lazy to pay attention to Kerr and stuffed the sandwich into his stomach as quickly as possible. It was not elegant, but it was in line with the environment of the bar.

"Wayne, I don't know if you've heard that people who don't drink have wasted half their lives." Kerr raised his beer: "Have some. The drinks in Eclipse Town are very famous. They hold a beer festival every year."

"I've also heard a saying that people who drink will waste the other half of their lives." Wayne refused the drink and asked Kerr to hurry up. If Mona wasn't acting, she might still be dawdling now.

"You are such a gentleman, but you have no patience at all..."

Halfway through his words, Kerr heard the door open and subconsciously glanced towards the bar door.

His eyes suddenly shrank and his breathing stagnated!
Wayne frowned and glanced towards the door. Seeing that the person coming was a Windsor strongman weighing more than 200 pounds, he was speechless.

This body shape is the favorite of military fans, no, Kerr.

The female strongman is dressed gorgeously and holds a lady's handbag. Although her style has some nouveau riche tendencies, she is wearing gold and silver and is definitely not a technician who needs money to make a living.

Wayne told Kerr to save his energy, as chatting him up was a waste of time, and to accompany him to find Mona first, and then they could do whatever they wanted.

"No, I'm quick!"

Kerr raised his beer and asked the bartender for another bottle. He said complacently, "Wayne, it's not a waste of time to strike up a conversation. Believe me, you're just too shy. Just walk up to her, extend your hand, and ask her if she has a boyfriend. You will definitely get a no answer. I've never failed with this trick."

You have such a wasted face, remember to keep it up!

Wayne didn't know where to start complaining, and said speechlessly: "Since I met you, my world has been filled with pornography. Don't you think your behavior is very shameful?"

"There is no shame in having a healthy soul in a healthy body!"

No, you are not sound at all!
When the bartender brought the beer, Kerr handed over a bill and asked for some information about the strongman.

The result was not very good. She did not have a boyfriend, but she was a married woman, and her husband was the mayor.

Kerr sighed, gave up the idea of ​​chatting her up, and complained to Wayne aggrievedly: "Love comes quickly and leaves even faster. I thought I was in love, but I never expected that I was too late. The woman I loved was in someone else's arms, and the relationship ended before it even began."

"Change your perspective. You like the woman in someone else's arms. Isn't it more comfortable?" Wayne grabbed Kerr and walked out of the bar.

We should not always think of ourselves as victims. It would be much more comfortable to think of ourselves as Cao thieves from another perspective. If you think Cao thieves are not nice, then we can change the term to the posture of a tyrant.

Kerr felt that what Wayne said was unreasonable because he was really heartbroken.

The two men came to the bar where Mona was staying, handed over a bill, and asked about Mona's whereabouts.

"Sorry, I can't reveal the whereabouts of our guest to you, even if you call yourselves her friends." The boss shook his head, very principled.

"You are so principled, why did you just take the money?"

Kerr took out another bill and handed it over: "Please hurry up, human lives are at stake, we are in a hurry."

The boss didn't say anything until the third bill came into his hand. Then his dormant memory was awakened and he took the initiative to reveal the information: "That lady seems to be investigating something. She has been targeted by the town's police. As far as I know, the town's police all take orders from Mayor Wales."

Wayne looked at Kerr, so, the mayor also has a script?
Kerr frowned. The script was a little complicated, and it was very different from what he imagined. It was not like the Vatican's style of doing things. "Let's go to the police station and ask. Mona might really be in trouble."

To the two silver wizards, the small town police station was no different from a bus. They could enter and exit as they pleased. They could save the money on bus tickets by casting a polarizing magic.

In the sheriff's office, Wayne stuffed a mushroom into the sheriff's mouth, and he answered every question.

A gold mine was discovered in Silent Hill. The mayor secretly manipulated many means to seize the wealth for himself. Mona, who was passing by, was nosy and was chased by the mayor's thugs. She drove all the way to Silent Hill.

What kind of thug is so powerful that he can chase after the Silver Mage? x2
Wayne and Kerr looked at each other. The latter nodded and complained, "What did I say? I should have approached her just now. If you hadn't kept urging me, I would have done it ten times. Ten times, what kind of information can't I get out of her?"

Wayne rolled his eyes. No one is bragging like that. It would be a bummer if he did it ten times.
