Chapter 550 Vampire


    At the beginning, Duanmuhuai just handled it with the words "It''s okay to hand over this matter to Lani."


    But soon, he realized that something seemed... not right.


    Although she didn''t know what Lani did, Mary''s expression seemed abnormal.


    At the beginning, he had a pale face, "It''s so terrible, it''s really terrible."


    Then he turned into a blind eye, "I want to survive, I want to survive..."


    In the end, it became "just kill it...just kill it..."


    “………………”


    To be honest, why do you feel super unstable?


    "I said, what kind of training did you do for her?"


    Duanmu Huai finally couldn''t help but find Lan Ni and asked. Don''t mess with the golden eyes that he had finally obtained.


    "Ah, it''s nothing."


    Faced with Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Lani seemed very calm.


    "I just threw her into the cemetery."


    "The underground cemetery...you are not talking about that hero cemetery, are you?"


    "Of course it''s there, after all, actual combat is the most important, right?"


    “…”


    Duanmu Huai finally understood why Mary had that expression.


    "Is it okay?"


    "It''s okay. Although the child looks like that, he is actually a very strong child, and his escape skills are not ordinary."


    Well, Duanmu Huai also felt that Mary had not practiced anything at the beginning, but only had the skills of running away. Now it seems that she is really useful. But this is also normal. Don’t listen to the word escape, it feels very simple. It is not as simple as a headless fly running around in the dark city. Not only should it reflect the gods, but you also have the ability to judge the choice of the road in a short time. Otherwise, if you see a road running into a dead end, the rest will be at the slaughter.


    From this point of view, Mary''s escape skills are at least professional.


    The premise is that you have this profession.


    But at this time, Mary must not be seen by her friends, otherwise she might have caused some trouble.


    Fortunately, Master''s College has been on holidays during this period, and Mary also explained to her friends on the excuse of going out for an internship, otherwise it would be hard to say.


    "But then again, the golden eyes are really amazing."


    According to Rani, Mary''s golden eyes can not only easily capture the opponent''s attack trajectory, but even the magic condensation point and direction of the magic when casting magic can be easily grasped. For example, some range magic, even the caster himself may not be able to determine the distance, but Mary can easily avoid it. According to her, she can understand the direction and end point of these magic as long as she sees it...


    This golden eye is too buggy.


    Thanks to this, Lani became interested in Mari''s golden eyes - it might be very miserable for Mari, but considering that the real battle would be even more dangerous in the future, Duanmu Huai followed Lani.


    It''s much better than dying on the battlefield.


    After that, Duanmu Huai also watched Mary''s battle... Well, how to say it, perhaps because she was used to escaping, Mary''s fighting style was more focused on dodging and counterattack. She would hardly take the initiative to attack the enemy, nor would she attack the enemy first, but would only dodge and counterattack after the enemy attacked her.


    To be honest, this seems a bit negative to Duanmuhuai. He prefers to attack first rather than to be passively beaten and then fight back like Mary. However, it has been a considerable improvement since I escaped blindly to being able to fight back now.


    Well, probably.


    Although Lani teaches her very carefully, according to her words, Mary''s magic power is not very high, so she only lets the other party master a few magics, such as "magic sword", "Calia Sword", "Calia Style Return", and "Starlight" and "Sedule"... According to Lani, after mastering these magics, Mary basically has no problem protecting herself.


    Well, at least judging from the way she trained, it was indeed the case.


    As for the more powerful magic...well, Mary couldn''t use it because she didn''t have enough magic, so Lani said.


    "Next, just take her to go through a few actual combats, and that''s about the same."


    "Hey? Wasn''t that considered a practical battle before?"


    Hearing Rani''s words, Mary''s face turned pale.


    "It was just training before, and the real actual combat... is still far from it. In short, I will leave it to you next."


    For Rani, teaching Mary these magics is considered to have completed the task. Well, in fact, it is true. If you train it according to a magician, it is obviously impossible to achieve results in less than two or three years. But since Mary just wants to learn how to use magic, and not want to study magic, it is not too difficult. Just like driving, you can learn it as long as you get started with training for a long enough time.


    As for advanced skills such as drift, we will naturally wait for later - of course, for most people, they probably won’t use the ability to turn the drainage channel in their entire lives.


    Just so happens that the master''s school is about to start, so Duanmuhuai takes Mary back to her world.


    "Mr. Duanmu, if you receive any further commission this time, please be sure to bring me with you!"


    Unlike before, Mary seemed very active this time. Well, Duanmu Huai can understand that she finally learned how to use magic and deal with dangers. Mary also wanted to practice it herself. It’s like someone who has learned to drive must be very excited at the beginning.


    "Don''t worry, if there is a commission, I will definitely call you."


    Duanmu Huai also assured Mary.


    result………


    “It’s really idle…”


    Lying on the sofa, Duanmu Huai looked at the TV with his eyes blank, looking bored. I originally thought that if I changed the place, there should be a lot of commissions. In fact, there were indeed many commissions before, but in the past half month, similar situations have decreased dramatically. Duanmu Huai felt a little bored. Although some letters were sent, Duanmu Huai found that it was not a decent case after reading the content - at least for the investigator, he was not interested in investigating other people''s cheating during marriage.


    Unless the other party cheats on the evil god, it is another matter.


    By the way, the business of exorcist items is surprisingly good, and there are even many repeat customers. According to the maid and Lorena, they all excitedly said, "This thing is so useful, please give me a few more."


    What do you mean? People in this world are too stubborn. They would rather solve the problem by themselves than go to detectives?


    And after finishing it, do you think it is useful and plan to do a few more? What does it mean is that you will solve the problem yourself in the future?


    How to say it, from the perspective of the court, it is a good thing to be able to pull the soul, but on the other hand, what is it to steal your own business!


    Duanmu Huai felt speechless. People in this world were really outrageous in this regard.


    But if you think about it carefully, if it weren''t for this, there wouldn''t be a profession like an investigator in this world.


    Luckily or unfortunately, when a person complains that he is very idle, he is mostly unable to be idle.


    Just like now.


    "King, I have a letter to you!"


    Lorena walked into the room excitedly, then handed a letter to Duanmuhuai. The latter reached out to get the letter in a boring manner, confirmed that it was not a stupid banquet invitation before opening the envelope and took out the letter inside.


    This is what the letter is written.


    Dear sir,


    I am here to greet you on behalf of my client, Mr. Best Hank of Cornwall. I think you must be confused by this letter, and in fact everything you have done for the Baskerville family is no secret among us. We all know that you are a very good expert in solving such difficult events. Therefore, on behalf of my client, I hereby invite you to my office to discuss some content that is inconvenient to record in letters. If you have this intention, you can go to No. 139 Knights Street, and I am always waiting for you to visit...


    "Oh, it''s a bit interesting."


    Seeing this, Duanmuhuai also sat up. This was the first letter to mention the Baskerville family. Of course, Duanmuhuai naturally could not proclaim the incident loudly. After all, he is a detective and needs to have a confidentiality obligation. Whether the Baskerville family will say it is their business? Since the other party mentioned this matter, it is equivalent to telling himself that he has a certain relationship with the Baskerville family.


    Well, to put it bluntly, it means "an acquaintance introduced me to me."


    At least it is more like a matter of idiots who believe in rumors in the streets or are not listening to others.


    So Duanmuhuai dialed the number according to the phone number on the letter. Opposite the phone was a gentleman who looked quite polite. After making an appointment with the other party, Duanmuhuai took Lorena out and went to the place written on the letter.


    In a very modern-looking office, Duanmuhuai met the owner of the letter, Schiller Boster, a legal counsel. “Welcome to you, respected Mr. Duanmu.”


    The moment he saw Duanmuhuai, the legal counsel with a mustache was also shocked, but he soon showed a warm smile and invited Duanmuhuai and Luolena to sit down.


    "Although I have heard of it, it is really amazing to truly witness your heroic posture with your own eyes."


    "This doesn''t matter. I think we can skip these boring greetings and get straight to the point. You come to me here, not just for coffee."


    Duanmuhuai said as he reached out to take a sip of coffee.


    Well, it tastes pretty good.


    "Of course not. This time I invite you, as the letter said, is to ask you for help on behalf of my client Mr. Best Hank."


    Speaking here, Schiller restrained his smile from below.


    "In fact, some very strange things have happened in Cornwall recently. To put it simply…"


    Speaking of this, Schiller also explained the situation to Duanmuhuai.


    Simply put, in recent years, Cornwall has not been peaceful. From time to time, local residents suddenly disappeared and their bodies were found. Of course, it would be fine if it was just like this...


    "Vampire?"


    "Yes."


    Shiller nodded, then took out a folder and placed the photos inside in front of Duanmuhuai. There is a photo of a corpse above. You can see scars on his neck similar to those bitten by a snake''s fangs, and his whole face is pale - although the corpse should be like this.


    "According to the coroner, the bodies of these people were all sucked in large quantities of blood, but not only that, in fact, their bodies were found missing shortly after being buried."


    "Missing?"


    "Yes, the grave was dug up and the corpses inside were unknown... So, the local people were very scared and thought it was done by vampires."


    "Oh...it does sound like an orthodox vampire story."


    People who are sucked by vampires will become vampires, disappear from the cemetery, and then attack others.


    "So what did the police say?"


    “Nothing to say.”


    Schiller spread his hands helplessly.


    "The police also only think that it is likely that the gangsters are doing it. They do not intend to investigate the disappearance of the bodies."


    "So why should your client care about this kind of thing?"


    Duanmuhuai looked at Shiller curiously. Those who can entrust such a legal adviser must not be poor. If they are just worried about safety, wouldn’t it be better to move directly.


    "Because my client is also a well-known local person, there will only be fewer and fewer people there when this continues, so he hopes to investigate the truth of the incident and resolve the incident. He also invited detectives and other people to assist in the investigation, but nothing has made any progress. Just when the client was worried about this, he accidentally learned about what happened in Devon. After contacting the Baroness of Baskerville, he recommended you to my client for convenience."


    "Oh...so that''s it. By the way, is your client also aristocrat?"


    "Yes, Mr. Besthank is an earl."


    "Oh... I understand."


    It’s no wonder that the Baroness told the other party everything, the aristocratic circle... This kind of thing is definitely indispensable in the old road.


    "So... would you like to go to Cornwall and investigate this? My client is willing to bear all the food, accommodation and transportation costs for you and your assistant throughout the process, and if the problem can be solved, then there will be a generous reward."


    "Um………"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai thought about it. No matter what motive the other party was for, as far as possible, this should be serious. After all, they all said that they would bear the food, accommodation and transportation costs for themselves and others, which is not a small amount of money. As for the specific situation, it would be better to ask the count at that time.


    "Okay, I''m going to go back and make some preparations and then give you a reply, but I''ll take this commission."


    “This is really great.”


    Hearing this, Mr. Schiller also smiled.


    "Then, you can contact me at any time with this phone number. After you decide on the date, I will inform my client about it as soon as possible and he will be happy to hear this good news."


    After talking to Schiller, Duanmuhuai returned to his apartment and asked Lorena to inform Mari of the good news.


    In fact, this is indeed good news for Mary.


    "So, are we going to Cornwall to investigate?"


    Mary, who rushed over after receiving the notice, had her eyes glowing, and she was as excited as a puppy who was taken out for a walk by her owner.


    “It’s almost that.”


    "But the vampire rumors in Cornwall... I have heard some of them talk about them."


    "Oh? This matter has spread here?"


    "I saw the report in some street tabloids, but I didn''t pay much attention to it, but many people seem to like this kind of story."


    "Oh... street tabloids."


    It is said that no matter how much this kind of rumor is, it is impossible for this kind of rumor to be featured in serious news newspapers. On the contrary, tabloids and magazines on the streets and alleys like similar stories the most. In the past, many train magazines also had stories like "Mysterious Events in the Bermuda Delta", which was exactly the same.


    "By the way, do you have time?"


    “It depends on how long it takes to go…”


    "It''s about half a month, but it may be a month if it''s long."


    After all, Duanmu Huai doesn’t know what monster is entrenched there, so he is not sure how long it will take.


    "Woo... maybe a little long..."


    "Depending on the situation, can you take time?"


    "I, I will find a way! If it''s an internship outside the school, I should be able to take a leave, but it''s not easy to tell Charlie and Asherika."


    After all, Mary studied ancient characters and archaeology. If you want to do an internship and go out for archaeology, you actually don’t have to pass the test.


    "oh?"


    "Because Charlie and Asherika don''t feel very good about Mr. Duanmu... Alas, I don''t think it''s a big deal, but they always think that Mr. Duanmu, you look a little dangerous... you don''t want me to have more contact with you."


    Well... From the standpoint of ordinary people, this is correct.


    "Can''t you make up any reason?"


    "If you are discovered, you need to use other lies to cover it up. Shari and Asherika are both very smart girls. If they find out, they will only worry more about me. But please don''t worry, I will try my best to convince them!"


    Since Mary said that, Duanmu Huai had to go with her. Moreover, Mary was right. She made up too many lies, and it was troublesome to make up lies.


    Of course, Duanmuhuai also helped a little. He applied through Professor Pamal. After all, if he passed the full professor of Master''s College, it would be much more convenient to apply for holidays. After the Antarctic scientific expedition, Professor Pamal seemed to have noticed something more or less, but he did not ask, but readily agreed to Duanmu Huai''s request.


    In this way, even if Mary has obtained the school’s approval, she can take leave through an off-campus internship.
