  Chapter 26 Cape District Night

  Kelina is a special alchemist, whose function is to transform the brain into a record carrier similar to a "database". They have very good memories and don't easily forget things they remember.

  Very competent for similar work as a confidential secretary.

   Also because they have access to too much confidential information, in order to prevent it from being used by others, a "loyalty valve" was installed on the alchemy probe that penetrated into their brains.

  When people who are not "loyalty objects" ask them for sensitive information, the "loyalty valve" will remind them not to answer.

   "Loyalty Valve" also has the function of burning their brains.

  Luke is thankful that he didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise it would really damage the majesty of his detective.

   "No need to apologize, this is your duty... I don't think you need those glasses, you are beautiful and attractive, all you lack is confidence.

  To survive in this world, many people are forced to change their bodies, so you don’t need to feel inferior. Forget the past and face up to the present to have a new start. "

  Carina, who was about to put on her glasses, looked up at Luke and asked in surprise, "Detective, do you know about my past?"

Luke smiled: "I know some, but not much. It is the abnormal psychology of some so-called superior people to regard people who have undergone physical transformation as inferior. I sympathize with your family's experience, but a noble lady wants to Take that drop.

  Since you have chosen this path now, you have to let go of the thoughts of superior people, and your new life has just begun. "

  Kelina looked at the glasses in her hand, hesitated for a while before throwing them into the trash can.

   But still untie the bun, cover the right ear with the loose hair

   "Thank you, Inspector, I will try to change myself. Now that you have my loyalty, I can introduce you to the security system here."

  When part of the Secret Service is attacked, the inspector's dormitory will automatically enter a closed state, and the gate will seal the door and windows tightly.

   If an intruder breaks in, two offensive alchemy golems will be dropped on the ceiling of the living room.

   There is a secret passage in the bedroom, which allows the trapped detective to escape smoothly.

   "Inspector, I have recorded your voiceprint into the security system here. You can issue commands to turn on and off all functions of the security system."

  Luke asked, "May I try it now?"

"Can."

   "Open the secret passage."

  With the sound of a chain coming from under the floor, a part of the floor in the middle of the bedroom descended layer by layer, forming a downward staircase.

  At the other end of the stairs, a dim light was turned on, illuminating a narrow passage.

   Luke asked Karina: "Where does this secret road lead to?"

   "Sorry, Inspector, I don't know. This secret passage can only be used by the Inspector of the Cape Secret Affairs Bureau. I only know of its existence and cannot be opened and used."

   "I see." Luke ordered the secret passage to close, and then asked Karina: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

   "Not at this time, Inspector. Your dinner is at the table in the living room. Good night."

"Good night."

  Kelina left, the room was quiet after the door was closed.

  Luke is very satisfied with this dormitory, which is many times better than Shelley's home. Moreover, it is protected by imperial agents on duty outside, and there is also a security system that looks very practical inside.

  Especially that tunnel, you can go out without disturbing anyone.

  Luke looks at the phone charging in consciousness.

  Battery: 92%

   Wait for another two hours to be fully charged.

eat first.

  Luke opened the food box, a plate of beef stew with potatoes, three grilled fish steaks, a large piece of bread, two sausages, and a bowl of vegetable salad.

  A military jug filled with rum.

   Not bad, very rich.

  …

  Lighthouse Street, the Assassin Tavern hidden in the shadows.

  The small window on the closed door was open, and a big yellow eye looked out at the street scene from the inside.

   It's just the Beacon Street, which is usually more lively as the night goes by, and there are no people to be seen at this time.

  All night clubs, casinos, brothels...all closed. The sea breeze blows the sundries on the road, full of chilling atmosphere.

  When a familiar figure jumped to the door of the Assassin's Tavern from above, the door of the Tavern opened immediately.

  Tes raised one of his tentacles and saluted the entering elf.

   "Good evening, Mighty and generous Miss Skylight. You are our first and possibly only guest tonight."

  The landing character Clear Sky came to Luke in the Assassin's Tavern, and stopped walking in.

   "Is the business here so bad tonight?"

   "It's all because you killed the giant tree. The strength of the Furious Ax party has been greatly damaged, and the interests of the pier they vacated have attracted many people to fight for it.

   Not sure how many people will die tonight.

  5000 gold coupons took over the pier controlled by the Furious Axe, and the publisher of the reward task made the most successful investment. "

  Luke gave Tas a silver coupon.

   "I don't care whose dock it is, I just want to know if my money is ready?"

  Tess stretched out his tentacles and took the silver coupon happily: "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Clear Sky. Your bounty is ready, it's inside, and our boss is also there.

  He wants to talk to you about deepening cooperation. A powerful assassin like you is a much-needed partner. "

  The owner of the Assassin Tavern is here!

   Luke said, "I don't want to see him yet."

   "It's your freedom. If you don't want to talk to our boss, just take the money from Billy. Our boss is very kind and won't make things difficult for you."

   "Yes, your boss is a very nice guy."

  Luke walked down the building.

   The tavern was really empty.

  Tonight and the next few nights will be a rare big scene in the Cape District. Of course, the assassins seized the opportunity to swipe orders and earn a lot of money.

   Naturally, there is no time to drink here.

  In the dim tavern, there was only a man wearing an old-fashioned aristocratic dress drinking alone in a corner. His fiery red hair was tied into a small braid, which was also the unique hairstyle of the old-fashioned aristocrats.

  The old aristocracy that has declined still insists on the stubbornness that is destined to be abandoned by the times.

  Luke just glanced at him casually, then walked to the bar and sat down.

  Lizardman Billy pours a glass of wine for Luke.

   "This cup is invited by my boss, he..."

  Luke said: "Please thank your boss for me, I am not a professional assassin, I am not sure if I will come here to drink next time.

  I've come to take my bounty. "

   Lizardman Billy looked at his boss, and then took out a very heavy bag from under the bar.

   "Miss Skylight, this is the bounty you got for assassinating the horned demon-born giant tree. A total of 5,000 gold coupons, part of which I exchanged for silver coupons and Imperial Marks according to your instructions.

   All money is very clean, you can deposit them in any reputable bank. "
