Chapter 99 Tea Party
Mrs. Michel walked between the shelves, introducing Luke to the mysterious props used by beginners in the occult arts. Lisa Wen was holding a small notebook behind to record the names and quantities of the goods.
Without realizing it, I wrote down several pages and dozens of mysterious props.
After spending some time, Mihir recommended the last product and said to Luke: "Miss Qingkong, these are the mysterious props I have for beginners. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"
Luke's starting point in the field of occult arts is too high, and he has no say in the field of low-level occult arts. Anyway, Mrs. Mihir's sales pitch is clear and logical. You can buy whatever you want, and you won't suffer much loss.
"That's all...I will need many more mysterious props in the future, and I will definitely come to bother you, the Congressman."
"Just call me Mrs. Michelle. The title of congressman always makes me think of those troublesome things. Miss Qingkong, the goods you want need some time to prepare. There is a tea pavilion on the roof of this shop. I am lucky enough to
May I invite you for a cup of tea?
Please rest assured that I have no ill intentions towards you and I promise that no one will stop you from leaving here."
Luke had long known that Mrs. Michel had other intentions for him, otherwise he would not have thought of beating the dog behind closed doors.
As a result, she was beaten and her mental mask was taken away.
Since Mrs. Michel is "generous" and wants to build a good relationship, Luke also wants to see what the congressman wants to do.
"Okay, I'll drink tea with my wife."
Mrs. Michel asked Wensha to prepare the mysterious props, then told the entourage outside to continue waiting, and then led Luke up the stairs.
The Whisperer Mystery House is a three-story building, with a shop on the first floor, a warehouse on the second floor, and Lisa Wen's residence on the third floor. There is an open balcony on the roof, which is built with brackets and morning glories.
Gazebo up.
Sitting under the pavilion and admiring the street view of Raging Wave City is also a very tiring thing to do.
Mrs. Michel invited Luke to sit down and took out the kettle and tea set from the cupboard nearby.
I swept my hand across the middle of the table, and a fire started to burn. Put the stove, and then the kettle...
Mihir made tea very seriously and didn't say a word during the process.
Luke also waited patiently.
The night was very quiet, and you could hear the voices downstairs. It was Mrs. Michel's entourage and the patrolling peace officers chatting.
There was also the sound of carriages passing by.
The water boils quickly.
"Do you need sugar?" Mrs. Michel, who was pouring tea, asked Luke.
"No, thank you!" Luke took the tea that Mrs. Michel brought to him and took a sip: "I don't understand tea, but it tastes really good. Madam must have other things to do when she invited me to drink tea. Now
It’s okay to say it.”
Mrs. Michel added a small spoonful of sugar to her tea, then stirred it slowly.
"Before talking about my purpose, I have a few questions to ask Miss Qingkong. Of course, you can choose to answer or not."
"Excuse me."
"Are you a member of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood?"
Luke took out the silver blade of the Blade-wielding Brotherhood and put it on the table: "This thing was forced on me by Viscount Iskran. He said that this dagger can help me solve a lot of troubles, but he seemed to overestimate the sword-wielding brotherhood."
The influence of the Blade Brotherhood."
What Luke said made Mrs. Mihir couldn't help laughing: "It should be said that the trouble you caused is beyond the scope of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood. Can I understand that you have no direct relationship with the Blade Bearing Brotherhood, just a little personal
relation."
"It's a little bit..." Luke corrected: "Viscount Iskran only wants to use me, you should also want to use me."
Luke spoke so bluntly that Mrs. Michel took a sip of tea to reorganize what she wanted to say.
"Although the word "exploit" is unpleasant, it is indeed the most concise and appropriate word. When the Government Affairs Office will set a reward of 2 million Reichsmarks on you, we consider you a criminal; when the Government Affairs Office will set a reward on you of 2 million Reichsmarks;
With the reward set at 100 million Reichsmarks, we consider you an extremely dangerous criminal.
And when the Government Affairs Office raised the bounty on you to one billion Reichsmarks, everyone was in awe of you, and everyone wanted to find you and extend an olive branch to you.
Compared to other people who are still looking for you in the city, I am lucky."
Luke drank tea and said with a smile: "Don't you think your thoughts are like making a deal with a devil?"
Mrs. Michel replied: "There is a devil living in everyone's heart, especially in this city of Raging Waves. Money, power, and vanity constantly impact people's moral bottom line, amplifying desires. It's like a hand pushing you behind your back.
, so that you have to do things that are spurned by your conscience."
"You are very self-aware."
"That's why I can become a member of the Raging Waves City Council. Second question: Are you prepared to cause disaster in this city?"
Luke said readily: "I don't have this idea, at least there is no reason to cause a disaster at this moment. The Furious Thunder Tower... it was an accident, completely beyond my expectation."
Mrs. Mihir did not question and continued to ask: "The third question: Will you leave Raging Wave City in a short time?"
"Won't!"
"I've finished asking my questions. Thank you for your answers. You have guessed the purpose of my invitation this time... I will cooperate with you, and you will do some things for me that are inconvenient for me to come forward to solve. I will do it for you in Nutao City.
Provide convenience.
You can even use my influence to get the City Government Affairs Department to lift your wanted order."
Luke said funnyly: "If I agree to you, why not agree to Iskran? He is from the Blade Bearing Brotherhood, and his price will definitely be higher than yours."
"He also has high demands on you. If you know something about me, you should know that although I am a member of the Raging Waves City Council, I have no real power.
No matter how much a group of ladies who know nothing listen to me, the final decision is still made by men at critical moments. And my husband...he is not interested in politics, and all his energy is in his laboratory.
…”
Mrs. Mihir paused here for a moment, and after taking another sip of tea, she continued: "Some things have happened in the Parliament recently. There are growing rifts between members, and the Blade Bearing Brotherhood is like
It was like a swarm of flies biting me.
My father wrote to me and asked me to do something for them.
There are also the lunatics from the Temple of the Abyss and the detective from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau who doesn’t know what he wants to do.
I can predict that a greater disaster is about to befall this city. Compared with that disaster, the collapse of the Furious Thunder Tower is simply a child's play."
Luke said sadly: "I accept your evaluation."
Mrs. Michel knew that she had said something wrong, and she quickly apologized: "I am not belittling you, Miss Qingkong. I can see that you seem to be collecting something, and I can not only collect mysterious props for you, my
My husband owns an alchemical steam machinery research institute.
