This is a really bold price... Hearing the vampire's request, Klein was both angry and amused.

He glanced at Bishop Utravsky in front of him and asked thoughtfully:

"Father, can I borrow your candle? It's the same one I had last time. I forgot what it was called."

Before Bishop Utravsky could answer, the vampire in the basement said in astonishment:

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do?"

At this time, Bishop Utravsky spoke gently:

"It's called the Nightmare Candle. What do you want to borrow it for?"

Father, you are very cooperative and you even know how to ask questions... Klein raised his lips and said:

"I plan to use it to go directly to the deepest part of my friend's heart and ask him questions."

"You know, I have some special talents in this area, and I'm very good at doing things like this..."

Before he finished speaking, the vampire in the basement shouted:

"Asshole, give up your idea!"

"You will be cursed for treating the noble vampires like this!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! I'll tell you, I'll tell you where the 'Master Key' came from!"

Klein chuckled immediately:

"Thank you very much for your cooperation."

"Hmph! The dirty old man's friends are not good people after all! As a vampire, I only go to the hospital to steal blood from the blood bottle to drink. I have been very restrained. Why should I be locked up here and listen to the nagging "Bible of Life" every day!" The vampire in the basement complained angrily.

Frankly speaking, if you were really like what you described in your words, and you met me, I would at most warn you. Unfortunately, when you got lost and entered this church, you were facing a priest who used to kill people and loved fighting, but now sincerely repented and was fanatical about his faith. I can only say that you were unlucky... However, Bishop Utravsky has recovered from his illness, and he should not really hurt you. At most, he would detain you by his side... Klein responded silently.

The vampire in the basement paused for a few seconds and said:

"More than a month ago, I went to the South District Hospital to steal a blood bottle to drink, and I met a thief."

"He originally wanted to enter the hospital's finance office, but he got lost and opened the door of the blood bank. I caught him on the spot."

"He used the 'Master Key'. He told me that he had found it when he broke into a house and robbed it. He also got a diamond-encrusted pocket watch. It was in the basement."

"He initially thought the key corresponded to a certain room or a certain safe, so he tried them one by one and found that all of them could be opened. This was an unimaginable surprise for a thief. After that, he succeeded many times until I caught him and confiscated the key."

"Damn it, I didn't even think that the key could make people lost!"

It fits the picture I saw during divination... However, is this "master key" cursed? The previous owner was imprisoned because he got lost, and the previous previous owner was also caught on the spot because he got lost... Maybe I really have to throw it above the gray fog and take it out when I need it, but this will be much more troublesome and may delay things... Klein controlled the changes in his expression and asked slowly:

"Did the thief say where he stole it?"

The vampire in the basement muttered:

"You are questioning my wisdom. How can I not ask about this matter?"

"He said it was at 48 Hewan Avenue in the South District of Daqiao. I had planned to check it out when I had time, but... damn it!"

"Okay, I've finished answering, don't bother me anymore."

Klein did not leave. Instead, he slowly took out a half-penny copper coin and whispered:

"He's lying."

…

After seven times, Klein, with his eyes darkening, flicked up the coin and watched it tumble and spin before landing in his palm.

This time, the head was facing up, indicating affirmation.

In other words, vampires are lying!

There are many points where the thief's story matches the scene I saw during divination, and they confirm each other. They should not be false... The vampire must have lied about the specific address! Klein looked at Bishop Utravsky and laughed softly:

"He lied."

"Let me think, why would he lie?"

"It is extremely unwise and detrimental to his situation to vent his anger and revenge on me, a person who has nothing to do with him."

"So, I think he is actually asking for help in this way. The address may belong to his companion. Father, don't you want to go and take a look?"

The basement suddenly fell silent. After several seconds, the vampire laughed:

"I just simply don't want to tell you so easily. You just threatened me, so isn't it normal for me to lie to retaliate against you?"

I could hear the forced calmness... Klein smiled and said:

"So, what's the real answer? If you keep lying, I don't mind delivering this address to the three major churches and saying it's related to the recent serial murders."

"...Humans are so vicious..." The vampire sighed with gritted teeth, "32 Wildy Street, South Bridge District."

Klein flipped the coin again and got the answer that the other party was not lying.

It seems that vampires don’t have the ability to interfere with divination... Well, let’s go back above the gray fog to confirm... Klein placed his hand on his chest and bowed to the heavy stone door of the basement:

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"Hmph." The vampire in the basement responded unhappily.

Just as Klein turned around and prepared to leave, he suddenly shouted again:

Call Emlyn White. Call Emlyn White! "

Why remember your name? I'm not going to save you. I'm not prepared. I don't have the advantage of home court. I can't beat Father Utravsky. Besides, he has a magical item that can return blood... Hmm, could it be that this vampire's companion will offer a reward for someone, and he wants me to sell this information? Klein was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the Harvest Church without saying anything.

He randomly found a secluded place where no one was around, took out the pendulum from his left wrist cuff, and did some divination about exploring No. 32 Wildy Street.

The answer he got was that there was a certain risk, but not too high.

There is a certain danger... Where is the danger? What kind of danger could it be? Klein carefully analyzed it and suspected that the apprentice who died out of control had turned into a ghost-like monster due to strong resentment, and it was a relatively strong one.

That's not right. The thief came out with the "Master Key" without encountering anything. Could the danger be in another secret place in the house? Klein thought carefully and felt that he had better be fully prepared before going there, so as not to encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with with his current Beyonder ability and he has no way to deal with it.

At least, at least I have to wait until I buy bullets that can purify the ghosts and shadows... He nodded slightly.

With this consideration, combined with his last experience fighting with the "Knight of the Dawn" Bishop Utravsky, Klein suddenly felt that he could vaguely summarize the first rule of a "magician":

“Don’t perform when you’re unprepared!”

That would most likely expose the conspiracy... Klein added silently.

…………

On Tuesday morning, Klein prepared butter and toasted two slices of bread. He didn't rush to eat. Instead, he opened the door and took out today's newspaper from the mailbox.

Hey, there's a letter... He pulled out the letter from the newspaper and glanced at the surface while returning to the restaurant.

"It was sent by Stuart... It seems that he has completed the preliminary investigation." Klein nodded slightly, tore open the envelope, shook out the papers, and sat down at the dining table while reading.

Stuart claimed that the two suspects did not show any abnormal behavior. One of them took care of the grocery store and his wife and children and lived a dull life, while the other was busy with various temporary jobs and worked hard to make a living. They were not irritable, had no urge to fight, and did not lock themselves in a room alone.

At the end of the letter, Stuart lamented the poor conditions in the East End and vowed to save enough money so as not to end up there in his old age.

"Thank you for your help. If I find other clues later, I will share them with you." Seeing that the other party failed to find any useful clues, Klein simply replied to the letter, preventing him from being more deeply involved in the case, so as to prevent the "devil" from noticing the danger and nipping the hidden danger in the bud.

After putting away the paper and pen, Klein picked up a piece of bread with butter soaked in it and spent his breakfast leisurely with black tea and newspaper.

During this process, what he regretted most was that there was no sign that the extraordinary gathering of the old man "Eye of Wisdom" was taking place.

"Ah, the existence of that 'devil' has seriously affected the lives of Backlund's Beyonders. I hope Mr. Isengard Stanton can notice my hint and gain something. Well, he should be an officially 'certified' Beyonder..." Klein put down the newspaper, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and packed up to go out.

His schedule for today was planned last week:

Go to the Kingdom Museum to visit the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition"!

…………

In Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey wore a light-colored long dress with bold use of lace and a snow-white fur coat, waiting for her personal maid Anne to help her put on a soft hat inlaid with pearls and with fine lattice tulle hanging down.

Beside her, Susie was squatting there with a satin bow tied around her neck.

"My beautiful little princess, where are you going?" Earl Hall came down the stairs and asked, stroking his beautiful mustache.

Audrey replied with bright eyes:

"Dad, I'm going to go see the Roselle Memorial Exhibition."

Take a look at the original of Emperor Roselle’s diary, and find a chance to get some for Mr. Fool… She added in her mind.

Earl Hall pondered for a moment and said:

"Why go today? There will be a lot of people and it will be chaotic."

"Well, I'll ask someone to coordinate with the Steam Church to open an extra half day for you and your friends after the official exhibition. This way, you can visit quietly without being disturbed."

"If there's something you want to see up close, you can talk to them about it."

That seems better. I can directly look through the diaries in this exhibition... Audrey lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed:

"Thank you, handsome Earl Hall~"

PS: Let me clarify, regarding the official spoilers from Yuewen, I know it’s not true because the younger sister is the heroine. Don’t believe everything you hear. I don’t know why they changed the outline and introduction I submitted to that. 8)
