"I'll bring some medicine and food tomorrow."

Ella left the bridge and stopped a carriage, and bought eight pounds of bread and a woolen blanket.She casually stuffed the bread into Henry's closet. Her uncle's family did not leave any dinner for her, but only left a pile of dishes to be washed in the sink. This was what Ella expected.Ella smiled nonchalantly and said:

"These are nothing at all."

When she was done, Ella went back to her room and pulled out a squashed lemon cake from her pocket, which she had already bought for herself for dinner.Ella set up an alchemy crucible while eating, and refined a special wind-cold potion.

She was the only survivor of that day at the factory.Ella felt that it was necessary for Henry and the parents of those children to give them some compensation.

Chapter 24 First Mission

Henry has been deliberately avoiding his niece recently. He knows that group of people, no, the group of monsters is terrifying, and he also knows that Ella has long been one of them.Reason told Henry that he should change his attitude, but when he thought of his cousin's haughty face in his memory, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Henry has hinted to his wife Tris and son Will more than once to let them treat Ella a little better. If this step is successful, then his change will be relatively logical and less awkward.But Will inherited his mother's stupidity and meanness, and he didn't have the businessman's shrewdness in Henry.

Is that really my son?This is still certain. There was no problem in Tris's private life when he was young, which was one of the reasons why he fell in love with her back then.

Thinking of this, Henry’s stomach started to hurt again.He turned over and got out of bed carefully, not waking up his sleeping wife.After taking a few stomach medicines, Henry sat in front of the fireplace in the living room and picked up a newspaper.

Those boring reporters in the newspapers wrote some nonsense articles, and they even called on the factory owners to increase the equipment to reduce dust and lead pollution!Henry's face was full of disdain, it would add meaningless costs to him, and the health problems of workers were nothing compared to bundles of pounds.

"Deng deng deng"

Henry heard someone coming downstairs, and that was the source of his stomachache.

The silver-haired girl was dressed as if she was about to go out, she wrapped herself tightly in a long windbreaker and boots, she was also wrapped in a thick and warm scarf, and she was carrying a small buckskin bag.

Ella was also a little surprised to see Henry on the sofa.She looked back at the wall clock, it was not yet 06:30, and she planned to go out before the Henry family woke up.

Henry thought this was a good opportunity to put a little smile on his face. He felt that now was the right time to show some concern from the elders.

"Ella? So early, where are you going?"

The girl paused for two seconds, did not answer Henry's question, and asked him abruptly,

"Uncle Henry, I would like to ask you, that time, uh... after the factory fire, did you issue pensions to the workers' families?"

This sudden question blocked many topics that Henry had thought about. He thought about it seriously and then said,

"I'm sorry, but that fire cost me a lot. There is no extra money to comfort the victims, but they can receive a sum of money from the government under the Poor Law."

The girl nodded, as if she had guessed Henry's answer a long time ago.

"That's a lot like you."

As she said she opened the door and left, the cold wind caused the flames of the fireplace to shake.Henry felt a little confused, but Ella's willingness to talk to him should be a good sign.Satisfied, he left the sofa and planned to make himself a cup of coffee. It was a high-end product produced in Dominia, and the weekly salary of a skilled worker could not buy a few coffee beans, just to celebrate his mood at this time.

……

Whitechapel District, inside the bridge of Yangjiao Street.

"Sister Ella!"

Ella was carrying a bag of pan-fried eel meat, and was knocked back by Mekle who rushed over. She stabilized her body and rubbed Mekle's hair like a puppy.Ella nodded lightly between her eyebrows and turned on her spirit vision. After a night's rest, with food and thick blankets, Mekel's physical condition has improved a lot.

George was boiling hot water on the side. He broke up the frozen hard loaves and threw them into the iron pot to make porridge, so that they could eat for a long time.

Ella stuffed George with the fish, which was still warm, and the smell of grease and cumin made his and Maykel's eyes shine.

Ella sat against the wall and watched the brother and sister finish their breakfast.George dipped the last bit of bread into the soup and swallowed it. Suddenly he remembered something, then looked at Ella apologetically and said,

"I'm sorry, we ate too fast, sister Ella, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Ella shook her head, saying that she would go to Jack's bar right away and let them leave her alone.Then he unzipped the buckskin satchel, pulled out a corked glass test tube, and handed it to Mekel.

"Drink it."

The liquid in the test tube was translucent purple, and bubbles rose up and burst at the top.Mekel obediently pulled out the cork and drank up the liquid in the test tube.

"It's so bitter...but my throat doesn't hurt anymore!"

The potion prepared by Ella is full of magic power, and it will take effect almost instantly after drinking it.

"This medicine should be very expensive." George hesitated. He felt that Ella, who used to work with his mother, should not be very rich.

"I owe you this." Ella's voice was so small that George couldn't catch it.

"what?"

"It's nothing, this is a potion I made myself, have you forgotten? I'm a magician."

Ella snapped her fingers exaggeratedly, a flame rose in mid-air, and saluted as if performing.In exchange for Mekor's wonder

She bid farewell to the George brothers and sisters and went to Henry's bar.

The bartender was already familiar with this young "senior consultant" and took the initiative to join him.

"You're here to see Jack, right? He's still in the same place."

"Don't worry yet." Ella shook her head, sat on a raised chair, and leaned towards the counter, feeling a sound in her stomach.

"Bring me a breakfast, I'm starving."

Ella looked at the sausage and mashed potatoes on the plate, and swallowed her saliva. She felt that she was now the same as that foodie Ling, which made her feel a little bit disappointed. He'll be as fat as Henry.She thought sadly, but still honestly bit off a piece of sausage. The salty aroma of the meat and the sweetness of the cream tea slowly turned into a wave of heat in her stomach.

While Ella was dealing with the food, Jack came out from behind the wine cabinet.

"Miss Williams? It's a good thing you're here today, I'm going to find you."

Ella just glanced at him and continued eating her mashed potatoes, which would get cold quickly in this weather.

Food cannot be wasted.

Ella thought so.

Jack sat across from her, poured himself a glass of Scotch stout, and lowered his voice.

"There is a task. A lawyer's mother has a strange disease, and professional doctors can't help. I suspect that there are things that the police and doctors can't handle in this matter...you know the kind."

Ella drank the last sip of the cream tea, and her two small eyebrows slowly stood up.

"Please tell me the details."

"The old lady is a devout believer. She went to church yesterday to pray, and she fell into a coma when she came back. The doctor said she was in good health after examination. I'm not very good at spiritual vision, and I can't see anything wrong. Miss, you have Any idea?"

Ella wiped her mouth and said, "I don't know, I have to read it to know."

Chapter 25 Exorcism

Ella and Jack sat on either side of the carriage. The lawyer's address was a townhouse at 45 Hanbonne Street, not far from Whitechapel.

Ella is wearing a small black police uniform with a black silver badge on her shoulder, which represents the status of inspector of the special department.Jack, who was sitting opposite her, was also dressed in the same way, but it was a lot bigger.

The police department has an agreement with Kraft School in private, and the head of magic in each area is equivalent to a senior inspector of the special department of the police station, specializing in solving incidents related to mysterious tests.

This is a convenient thing for both parties. The police department can bring these special people into its jurisdiction, and the latter can also move easily and enjoy official salary treatment.After Ella got in touch with Jack, she was already on the record.

On the carriage, Ella hesitated to speak,

"Mr. Jack, can you do me a favor, I will offer a reasonable reward."

"tell me the story."

Jack rubbed his beard. It was the first time he had seen the young "advisor" make such an expression.

"The boy George who came to the bar for help yesterday, I hope to let him and her sister Mekel live in the Old Man's Bar. I am willing to pay a hundred pounds, as long as this winter passes."

"It's not a big deal, Miss Williams, in fact you only need to pay me half and it's more than enough, but out of curiosity, I want to ask, why?"

"They are the children of my acquaintance. She died in an incident, and I was there at the time... I feel that I have to take care of them. I wanted to live with them, but staying in Glamis for a year will not return Don’t come here a few times... Let’s get through this winter first, maybe I can make potions for people in Glamis to make money, rent a house and take them over.”

Jack was silent for a moment,

"You really don't look like a child of this age, okay I accept, fifty pounds, I will take care of them until the spring, when your side is ready, I can send them to Glamis."

The carriage stopped at the side of the road and had reached 45 Hambonin Street.It was a small two-storey building. It may look smaller than Henry's house, but the environment is quite good.

Jack mentioned that the annual salary of a senior lawyer is about [-] pounds, which Ella thinks she can afford in this small building, and she thinks this can be used as a reference for renting a house.

After knocking on the door, it was a haggard young man who opened the door. He was wearing a black formal suit with bloodshot eyes, as if he didn't have a good rest last night.

He looked at the two people, one tall and one short, and then at Ella's epaulettes, showing a strange expression.

"Are you kidding me? I don't know when the police in London started using child labor."

Jack showed a serious expression,

"Ms. Williams is not as young as you seem. She is a professional in our special department. For the sake of your mother's health, I think you should maintain a minimum of respect, Attorney Mr. Morris."

Morris seemed to be choked, lowered his head with a red face, and said,

"It seems that my mother's state has made me lose my mind. I apologize for my impoliteness. Mr. Inspector, and Miss Inspector, please follow me."

Ella and Jack were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at the layout of the house.The Morris home is decorated with wallpaper in warm colours.

“Black tea or coffee.”

"It will be all right."

Morris brought a porcelain cup and made black tea.

Ella took a cup, blew off the heat, and said,

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"I've said it many times!" Morris looked a little annoyed, "My mother went to church yesterday to pray, and she fell into a coma when she got home. Not taking less, but telling me that there is nothing wrong with my mother's health? These **** bastards are simply scum in white coats!"

"Take me to see."

Ella stood up and followed Morris to the bedroom on the first floor. The old gray-haired Mrs. Morris was lying on the bed, pale and breathing heavily.

Ella nodded slightly between her eyebrows, and found a gray-green smoke surrounding the old man.It was the color of a curse or a wraith. It seemed that the old lady had provoked something bad on the way back from the church.

"Please go out for a moment, I need a quiet environment."

Maurice was pulled out by Jack. He resisted a little, but he thought a little girl wouldn't hurt his mother.

Ella opened the suitcase, took out three candles, and placed them on the ground. She also took out moon petals and rose essential oil, which had a calming effect, and sprinkled coarse salt on the ground in a circle, surrounding a silver cup filled with clear water.
