Chapter 402 Eavesdropping
"Ayutthaya players? Oh, yes, there's a betting table on the sidelines. .Um.speaking of which, do you know the situation of the contestants now?"

Shade asked absently, always feeling that there was a gaze watching him from behind. Of course, this was completely an illusion. The two professors took a corner and sat down and talked in a low voice, ignoring the "stranger" with their backs to them.

Shade carefully took a sip of the strange drink from the glass.

"Not yet, but I heard that there is a Lord card holder of the [Founding] series this time."

"cough cough ~"

Shade coughed and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine:
"That's not bad, the newspaper should record those key game information."

He said in a low voice, trying his best to Suppressing his sense of existence, he intends to get up and leave after a while. Otherwise, it would seem very strange that he would leave as soon as the professors came in.

"I don't have the chance to go to Tobesque, and even if I had the chance, I wouldn't be able to get a ticket to watch the Ayutthaya players play poker. Twenty-one years ago, the 'Ayutthaya Gamer Rhodes Tournament' was in When Coldwater Harbor was held, the ticket price was equivalent to my salary for a few months, and now it will only be more expensive.”

The bartender shook his head regretfully, and then waved in the direction of the Avrolla Manor. He shook his head and said while wiping his glass:
"Sometimes I really envy rich people. Do you know how much gold pounds that manor was sold for twenty years ago?"

"How much? You know this?"

Shade asked in surprise.

"I've been working in this tavern twenty years ago, and I heard from the Boss here."

The bartender dipped his fingers in some water, on the counter board Several numbers are written on it. Shade raised his eyebrows and converted the price and currency purchasing power around 20 years ago. If he can prove that the house in Sainteland Square is not haunted, then the price of the Avrolla Manor is only higher than that of the one in Sainteland Square. The house is more expensive.

"In other words, if I sell 6 St. Teresa Square, and I add a sum of money, I can buy a manor with a beach, courtyard, and garden in a place like Coldwater Harbor. ”

The mood is suddenly high, even if it is not sold, knowing what you have can make the owner of the house excited.

"Speaking of this manor, when my father was a child, the manor was here. The history of the manor is no shorter than those old streets in Nancheng District."

The bartender continued.

"Isn't that hundreds of years old?"

Shade asked, then leaned back and took a risky look, sure enough the professors didn't pay attention to him.

"I can't tell the specifics, but I know that the original owner of the manor was a wealthy local businessman thirty years ago. He had a special way to get into the sunken ship. Then one day, the rich merchant disappeared, and the house was mortgaged and sold.”

The bartender shook his head and wiped the cup in his hand, as if lamenting the impermanence of the world:

"But it used to be very gloomy, don't look at it bright now. When I was young, the whole house was like an underground cave that had been soaked in water for a long time. Every night, I could even hear the wind passing through it. Strange noises from the glassless windows."

Shade's sense of unease grew as he listened to it.

He continued chatting with the bartender, and before Shade was about to leave, the two professors from St. Byrons stood up first and left the tavern into the rain outside.

Shade certainly didn't dare to follow.

The time at this time is 4:30 in the morning of Three Purities, and there are still about two hours before the sunrise in Lengshuigang.

After sitting on the high stool at the counter for a few more minutes, after making sure that the professors would not turn back, Shade took the strange drink and sat in the corner where the professors sat.

The bartender regrets not being able to sell Shade those strange medicinal liquors.

The professors didn't leave anything here. After Shade put the cup down, he tried to use Mystic Art [Echoes of the Past] to try his luck.

But it's a pub, and there's people talking almost every moment for 48 hours, so he doesn't hold out much hope.

First attempt.

"Star 8, look at my 20!"

It seems to be playing Rhodes.

Second attempt.

"Oh my Maya, my Maya"

There is a man crying, presumably his wife or daughter died.

"Why did you leave this home and leave me."

Maybe it's not death, but the sudden disappearance of his wife.

"I've raised you for three years, and I've saved all your cat food money after 1856."

Shade didn't comment, but tried a third time .

"So, Mafar, it's a shame we didn't invite the professors from the History Academy this time."

Shade startled, this is the voice of Professor Sanchez. And from what they heard, it was indeed the professors of St. Byrons talking in a low voice.

"When did I have such luck?"

I wondered in my heart, but continued to listen.

"Oh, Professor Sanchez, who would have thought that such a thing would happen here?"

The middle-aged professor called "Mafar" sighed. Qi:
"Who would have thought that the manor was actually one of the ceremony nodes that the sea sent back to the ceremony? The Scarlet Esoteric sect downloaded the Great Accomplishment book and used the relic [No Entry Signboard], and now people outside can't enter. If there is a professor of history at the Academy here, I think from the perspective of space, I can think of a way to let at least one of us in."

Shade's face The surprised expression was completely uncontrollable.

"There is a problem with the manor itself. We are starting from the direction of the cult's capital flow these days. The preliminary investigation has proved that the owner of the mansion cooperated with the Scarlet Esoteric cult 30 years ago to make money for the cult and the fish people. Funding. I think the mansion was ready for 'sea return' by then."

Professor Sanchez said, followed by the sound of the glass being lowered:
"We just saw there Now, with the current method, no one can enter within a few hours, unless the high-loop warlock responsible for other nodes is mobilized, but other nodes are just as important, and there may be similar problems elsewhere. But we don't need to be too I'm worried, didn't the Church of Nature say that they received the news in advance that there were suspicious people in that banquet, so there was a team of full ring warlocks in the manor? There was news from the square that the two sides were confronting each other, and neither of them did it again. Plans to go to war."

"That's not bad."

Professor Mafar pondered for a moment, but immediately realized the problem:
"However, in this kind of city When there are no people, why would the Church of Nature think of secretly mobilizing a whole team of warlocks and ambush at the banquet? They should not know that there is a ceremony node under the Avrolla family's manor, otherwise they will It was resolved in advance. Could it be that the Church of Nature has found a second place.”
