Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Good...much better. Thanks to Brother Locke, Liqi was sent to the hospital for treatment. Her condition is much better. Mom and I take turns taking care of her."

Lisa said hesitantly.

"Are the medical bills enough?"

Hannah asked.

Lisa nodded, "That's enough, Sister Hannah. The people from the Compass Drinking Water Company sent the compensation, which is enough to pay for Liqi's medical expenses. There is still some extra. Mom said that she can send me to a missionary school."

Mission schools are public schools, but they also need to pay certain tuition fees. The fees are much lower than grammar schools and secondary vocational schools. Many children in the West District will be sent to mission schools.

When Lisa mentioned school, her eyes became brighter, full of yearning and longing.

"That's good."

Hannah and Locke smiled at each other, said goodbye to the shy Lisa, and opened the door with the key.

Hannah poured the coachman a glass of water;

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's okay, beautiful lady, remember to continue to patronize my business next time."

The coachman drank the water, hurriedly left the apartment, and continued to look for customers. He wanted to save more money and go to Baker's Grain Store to buy some rye flour tomorrow.

Locke sat on the sofa to rest, while Hannah went door to door to tell the neighbors about the good news about the price reduction of food. Most of them were illiterate, did not read the news, and would not hang out in the Leiter Bridge area. Without Hannah, They will most likely be the second to last group of people in Kosolk to know the news, and the first to last group will be the people living in the Mar Street slum.

The poorer a person is, the fewer channels they have to obtain information.

By the time they got the news, the grain stored by Baker Grain Company had probably been sold out.

When Hannah came back, she had a leaflet in her hand.

[The Sixth Public Security Court is recruiting chefs with high salaries and does not require a chef certificate...]

Chapter 53, Sixth Public Security Court

"Locke, look."

Hannah handed the flyer to Locke, "The Sixth Magistrate Court is recruiting chefs. No chef certificate is required. As long as you can cook delicious food, you can be hired. The salary of the Magistrate Court is very high, which has surpassed that of reporters. ”

Locke took the flyer. Although the family was not short of food or winter clothes, it was still necessary to find a long-term and stable job.

If I get this job, maybe I can actually move to the East End with Hannah.

Of course, renting a manor is still out of reach.

Locke began to prepare the soup. This time the ingredients were fresher and better than last time, so he decided to only use 4 hours.

In addition, making candies was also put on Locke's agenda. After the soup was boiled, he spent another 2 hours making candies, and did not walk out of the kitchen until late at night.

At night, when Hannah went into the room to sleep, Locke took out a small mirror from his coat pocket.

This mirror was bought at a department store in the Trey Bridge area, of course for the purpose of practicing [Mirror Trick].

With Lloyd's matter resolved, Locke can finally practice his new skills with peace of mind.

[Mirror Trick] is one of the rare life-saving abilities he has now, and he must practice it frequently.

As long as you advance to become the [Mirror Master], you will have a mirror space where you can carry important items with you.

After using [Acute Hearing] to amplify his hearing and confirming that Hannah was asleep and would not suddenly walk out of the room, Locke's body entered the mirror.

The last time he entered the mirror to escape for his life, and he had to always pay attention to the battle between Irene and Shelia outside the mirror, he ignored his feelings after entering the mirror.

This time, Locke decided to carefully experience this novel experience. The size of the mirror's space was consistent with the range it reflected.

For example, Locke faces the mirror toward the ceiling. When Locke enters the mirror, he has an upside-down feeling.

The ceiling became the floor, and the area was only the part illuminated by the mirror, about 10 square meters.

And around the border is a bottomless black mist.

These black mist seemed to have some kind of magical power, attracting Locke to get closer, and Locke heard the call from the black mist.

This gave him the idea of ​​exploring the black mist.

Erin knocked on the mirror in time, and her voice seemed to come from the dome, echoing in the mirror space where Locke was.

"The mirror world is connected to the spiritual world. Many monsters in the spiritual world are hidden in the darkness. They are very good at disguise and temptation. You'd better not come into contact with the black mist."

Locke swallowed and retracted his left foot that almost entered the black mist. Faintly, it seemed that one foot was also retracted from the black mist.

Locke didn't know if it was his imagination, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I felt that if I had just walked into the black mist, something extremely strange and terrifying might have happened.

He decisively left the mirror world.

[Mirror trick +1]

【Mirror Trick 2/1000】

Although his proficiency increased by 1 point, Locke's spirit became extremely tired.

This was completely different from what he imagined. He originally thought that he could jump between the mirror and the real world hundreds or thousands of times and easily increase his proficiency.

Who knew that just once, he would be so mentally drained, and he would almost be tempted by the black mist in the mirror world and act irrationally.

"Thank you, Erin."

Locke sincerely thanked Erin.

Eileen wagged her tail, still with a proud expression on her face,

"It's okay. It's better to practice this kind of black magic less. It's easy to lose control if you're not careful."

Erin reminded calmly.

She had seen Locke hiding in the mirror before, so she wasn't too surprised now.

In Erin's eyes, Locke is already a complete cultist. Cultists and black magic are a perfect match.

But out of appreciation for the servant's craftsmanship, Eileen still gave a kind reminder.

"dark magic?"

Locke looked at Erin suspiciously.

Irene stopped answering his questions. She always felt that although this servant believed in evil gods, his knowledge in the field of mysticism was quite lacking.

She jumped to the window sill with elegant steps, curled up into a ball, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

Locke didn't know what Irene was thinking. He just felt that he was so sleepy and tired now, and soon he fell asleep on the sofa.

If you restrain your curiosity, perhaps entering the mirror world once every night is an excellent way to help you sleep.

The next day, the sun shines on the streets of Kosolk, awakening Locke on the sofa.

Locke used part of the broth from last night to cook three bowls of beef noodles for today's breakfast.

After successfully feeding Irene, I drew [Body Coordination] again.

The body coordination proficiency is increased by 100 again, and the proficiency reaches 280. If you are lucky and draw 8 times in a row, Locke can directly upgrade the body coordination to [Balance Messenger].

After Hannah finished breakfast, she put the dishes in the kitchen and started washing them.

Erin stood on the sofa and watched Locke change clothes.

He put on a clean shirt and vest, put on his windbreaker, and specially combed his hair to make him look energetic.

"Do you want to go to the Rose Theater to date a girl? Or do you want to go to the Rose Theater to seduce the rich lady?"

Erin asked curiously.

"I'm going to find a job."

Locke handed the flyer to Erin.

Erin frowned slightly, "The Sixth Sheriff Court, I always feel like I've heard of it somewhere."

"I have only heard of the First to Fifth Public Security Courts. The Sixth Public Security Court may be a newly established department. I have never heard of it before. It is not a newly established department, and there is a high probability that it will not recruit chefs. If so, I know that these interesting parts are basically internal recruitment.”

Locke smiled and said,

"And they don't need a chef degree. This time I must conquer these recruiters. As long as I get the job, I promise to move to an apartment with a separate bathroom."

"All right."

Erin jumped from the sofa and onto the window sill, continuing to lie down lazily.

"Won't you go with me?"

Locke asked.

Erin shook her head, "It's not appropriate for me to go out today, you can go by yourself."

"Then wish me luck."

Locke stretched out his hand and wanted to stroke the black cat, but was stopped by Irene's cold eyes.

He retracted his hand that was stuck in mid-air and straightened his collar awkwardly.

"Locke, stop talking to cats."

Hannah's voice came from the kitchen.

Locke responded and walked out the door.

During this period, the black cat always stood on his shoulder, and he was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden loss of this decoration.

According to the address on the flyer, Locke spent 20 kilograms to cross the Trey Bridge, then transferred to the trackless train and arrived at the Sixth Sheriff Court at No. 34 Wells Road in the East District.

Chapter 54, B-level weird incident

Rows of towering spire buildings stand side by side, and the Sixth Sheriff Court is among them. It is a 6-story dark building with a flag on the roof. One half is the leaf vein coat of arms of the church, and the other half is the Tumen Kingdom Sheriff Court. lion logo.

On the left and right are the Kosolk Bank and Grain Association buildings. It is said that the people working there have basically entered the middle class, with a weekly salary of 1 gold meter.

Locke took a deep breath. Although he had been taken care of by Miss Lucy and he had met Mick a lot, this was his first time applying for a job at such a high-end place, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

"Locke, believe in yourself, you can do it."

He adjusted the collar of his clothes and walked into the gate of the Sixth Sheriff Court with his head held high.

Surprisingly, the Sixth Magistrate Court was very deserted, with almost no one in the hall, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle of Kosolk Bank next door.

Was it really just established? Not even a reception.

Locke groaned inwardly, looking for living people in the vast hall.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Locke walked to the front desk, knocked on the wooden table with his hands, and looked around suspiciously.

There are many traces of time on the beige walls, and the decorative paintings on the walls are also covered with a light layer of dust. This does not look like a new department at all, but rather like a very unwelcome bench. department.

Just as Locke was overturning his previous assumptions, a young man wearing a purple windbreaker walked into the hall.

The man has blond hair, blue eyes, clear facial features, healthy bronze skin, a tall figure, an open collar on his shirt, and lacks enough respect for winter.

He yawned lazily, stretched, walked to Locke, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and said with a smile,

"Hi, newcomer, you came just in time. My name is Sigurd Bruce, and I am your senior. You can just call me Sigurd. Come with me. We need to support a B-level weird mission."

"Mr. Siegel, you must have mistaken the person. I'm here to interview the chef. My name is Rock Bemon."

Locke explained.

"Just call me Sigurd. You really love to joke. How could there be something weird on the chef?"

Sigurd burst out laughing and gave Locke a thumbs up, praising Locke as a Kosolk man with a sense of humor.

Although Locke tried his best to explain, Sigurd always thought he was joking and stopped a carriage, and the two went directly to the Sisi District.

At this time, Locke also realized the fact that the Sixth Sheriff Court was most likely the Weird Investigation Bureau.

Because the purple trench coat Sickert wore was the same trench coat worn by the two investigators before. The style was basically the same as the sheriff's uniform, but there were slight differences in color and details.

The badge pattern worn on Sigurd's chest is half the leaf veins belonging to the Cathedral of Life, and the other half is the lion belonging to the Tumen Kingdom's Security Court.

This shows that the Oddity Investigation Bureau is probably the product of a combination of the Sheriff Court and the church.

The carriage stopped 50 meters in front of an abandoned building. Locke was forcibly pulled out of the carriage by Sigurd.
