Chapter 163 Illness

After hearing Eric talking to himself, Polly comforted him a little: "Don't worry, the official and various extraordinary organizations have dispatched a large number of manpower to search the city, and anyone found to be acting suspiciously will be arrested and taken away for interrogation.

"

"But I just came to the Steam City not long ago, and some resumes in the New World cannot be verified in a short period of time!

I'm worried that my wealth may also make those extraordinary people who enforce the law jealous, and they will use this as an excuse."

The others were also speechless for a while. They all knew the urine properties of the black dogs in the Secret Service. If given the chance, they would never mind letting Eric's wealth go.

And Hannibal said directly: "We guarantee this for you. Don't worry. The black dogs of the Secret Service don't have the courage to frame a decent gentleman for the sake of wealth."

After hearing this, other people also patted their chests and promised that they would never let a decent gentleman be treated like this. Eric's expression looked better now.

"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things anymore. Compared to this, I am still more concerned about the second spiritual recovery. Then I will trouble Professor Polly."

Connor promptly changed the topic, and everyone stopped discussing matters related to the Shadow Troupe.

However, after this experience, everyone lost the ability to talk and only chatted for another five minutes before leaving one after another.

Eric left here directly in the hired carriage, and Charles felt strange as he watched him leave.

With this strange mood, Charles quickly returned to his law firm.

As soon as I got home, I saw Karin sitting on the sofa in the foyer, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Captain, is there anything you need me to do?"

Carlin thought for a moment and asked: "How well do you know Hannibal, Connor, and Kraken?"

Ciel recalled it carefully before replying: "I don't know much about Hannibal and Kraken.

But Connor and my father are indeed friends. When his business was as big as it is now more than 20 years ago, he often entrusted my father to handle some of the company's legal affairs for him."

"Then you should pay attention. I don't see anything special about Kraken for the time being. He is just an ordinary apprentice wizard.

Hannibal and Connor are not simple people, and I even suspect that they have a very close relationship secretly.

Although Connor is just an ordinary person, with his connections and channels, as long as he is not stingy with spending money, he can actually become an extraordinary person long ago.

But he didn't do this. Obviously Connor had great ambitions and had a large amount of undisclosed wealth.

On the surface, he asked Polly to arrange a ritual for him to help him step out of the extraordinary door, but secretly, he was still planning Si Chen's power, hoping that after becoming an extraordinary person, he would continue to work hard to reach the limit of the human body!

Si Chen's ability to dare to plan clearly has some support and there are definitely potential collaborators.

I tend to be Hannibal as this collaborator. Isn’t Hannibal not very famous in the extraordinary world of the Steam City?"

Ciel has been stunned. Mortals dare to plan Si Chen's power. This requires not only strong courage, but also careful thinking and constant caution.

If a weak mortal does this, if the news is leaked and known by other extraordinary beings, it will be equivalent to a child holding a gold brick and strutting into a busy city.

He was stunned for a while, until Carlin called him and he calmed down and answered Carlin's question.

"Hannibal is indeed not very famous in the supernatural world. He is just an ordinary natural supernatural being with the ability to restore and heal. That's why he chose the profession of doctor. On the contrary, he is famous in the Steam City for his superb medical skills."

After hearing this, Carlin said lightly: "He has a professional-level snake-like war beast. If it is made public, he can easily gain a high status. Whether it is gold pounds or extraordinary resources, he will continue to flow in."

But Hannibal didn't do that.

Or it's just that it's not convenient for him to reveal his battle beast.

Or he is hiding his strength in a low-key manner in order to plan for greater benefits, so that not too many eyes will be on him.

So I speculated that there might be some kind of connection between him and Connor, and I later confirmed this through divination!"

Ciel was startled again, and Carlin was complaining in his heart. He didn't expect that an ordinary dinner party would be full of hidden dangers.

Although Connor is a mortal, he secretly plots the chef's power.

Hannibal looks average in strength, but he possesses a professional-level war beast.

Ciel and Eric can be regarded as members of the Shadow Brigade.

Then Angela, a powerful being who can be used as a backdrop, also puppeteered a girl to attend the banquet.

What kind of monsters are these?

"Our next target is Connor, you need to put the friendship between him and your father behind!"

After hearing this, Charles said without hesitation: "I am me, and my father is my father. Now I am just a sharp blade in your hand, and your will is my will!"

Karin was very satisfied with Ciel's attitude, and then gave him another task.

"In the next period of time, in addition to practicing hard and preparing to hit the limits of the human body, you will also sort out the information on Connor and Hannibal.

Mainly the industry information and personal connections in their names, just make a list and give it to me.

Of course, you just need to collect information during your free time. Now the most important thing is to push the limits of the human body."

At the end, Carlin suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, Eric will hire a maid tomorrow. Go and help him."

"OK!"

After the explanation, Carlin returned to the basement.

The roasted whole lamb has been eaten, and the ground has been cleaned.

Then he immediately entered the [Witch King] and started frantically making parts for the [Throne Difference Engine].

Connor and Hannibal don't need to be in a hurry. After all, the ceremony will not be started until at least half a month after the second spiritual revival.

He doesn't plan to make any other moves during this period. He will first calm down and build the [Throne Difference Machine].

The night passed like this, and it was early the next morning.

Karin opened his eyes with a calm expression. One month of training in [Witch King] has reduced the defective rate.

According to this progress, it will take about five days for the defective rate to be reduced to a level acceptable to him, and then he will start manufacturing the [Throne Difference Machine] in reality.

With the [Throne Difference Engine], there is no need to worry about Eric being entangled in trivial matters during the day and not being able to enter the fantasy world like now.

At that time, the Marionette can be hosted by the Difference Engine. As long as Carlin's body can bear it, it will be no problem to stay in the illusion of history forever without eating or drinking.

At this time, Eric's eyes became clear. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It had just turned nine o'clock.

So he went out, got on the carriage he rented and headed to the intermediary market.

Although the distance was no more than three hundred meters, he still did not choose to walk, otherwise it would be considered disgraceful.

The values ​​of decency in this era are very pathological.

The gentlemen and ladies all pay attention to dignity in their travels and clothing, just like the banquet yesterday.

If Eric attends another banquet wearing the same clothes, he will be considered stingy, stingy, and someone who is short of money and trying to make a fool of himself.

This kind of reputation review is very troublesome, and will cause the parties concerned to be gradually excluded from the circle, and their credibility will plummet.

Even if you have a rich family, you can only rest on your laurels, and you will encounter obstacles everywhere when you go out to do things. In short, this kind of decent value has reached a deformed level in Carlin's opinion.

This kind of value is obviously contrary to the practical New World, so people who come to the Steam City from the New World will be called barbarians.

However, Eric has to do as the locals do and maintain his character for the time being.

"Sir, are you looking for a servant? Then you need to pay attention. If you choose a servant in the intermediary market, it is best to have a letter of introduction from the previous owner. Even if you don't have one, you must have a guarantee from the seller.

Otherwise, if you hire casually, you may meet someone who is lazy and may even steal your property with unclean hands and feet.

Even if the servants are qualified, you must severely punish them if they make some small mistakes, otherwise it will be easy for them to develop a lucky mentality and get slapped on the nose."

The driver deduced Eric's wishes from his destination, and he was obviously very talkative.

It explains everything from selecting servants to managing servants in a clear and logical way, and even talks about how masters in some upper-class families teach erring servants.

Even in his mind, for a master to teach a servant is as natural as a father beating his son.

In this way, the coachman kept chattering from the moment he set off. After only three minutes of talking, the carriage stopped, and Eric finally got rid of this environment where the demonic sound penetrated his ears.
