Chapter 16 The Witch's Prophecy
"When the fire burns on the tower, the white knight and the black demon will fight. At that time, the gates of hell will be opened..."
Relf murmured, and after carefully studying this sentence, the few messages inside seemed very interesting.
The Gate of Hell probably refers to the gate of the Demon Realm. Although there is supernatural power in this world, it is related to oneself and can also be related to the so-called Hell. There is no other existence except the Demon Realm.
I just don’t know what the so-called tower and the black-clothed demon are.
[You really believe what she said? Although I can feel that she is not an ordinary person, I just believe that she has skipped the hasty and agreed to her conditions.]
"It doesn't matter. This prophecy feels quite valuable. Moreover, the promise she agreed to was just not to actively interfere in the affairs of the monster thief Kid. Anyway, I have no interest in that monster thief now, and there is no need to intervene at all. Of course, if he takes the initiative to trouble me, he has to say something else."
[Okay, what are you going to do next? You can already confirm that that kid has nothing to do with Hora.]
"It's very simple. Just keep an eye on Conan. Anyway, as long as you follow him, you will definitely encounter unusual things, and you will have unexpected gains at that time."
Relf said this, walked towards the vending machine, bought a can of coffee and continued.
"Zaruba, how are you exploring the Demon World Transfer Station?"
【There is still no way, it seems that I can only wait a little longer.】
"Is that right... I forgot how long it has been in this world, and it's time to plan some money."
No matter which world or whoever is, money is something that cannot be separated from. For Relf, the process of getting money is very simple, and it is enough to sell some of the jewelry he carries with him.
He did this in this world, and he has done it several times before.
Because he went to the same shop, the other party's person in charge basically knew him. This time, his arrival was naturally received.
"Meet again, Mr. Yang"
The manager of the jewelry store seemed very attentive to the arrival of this big customer. After all, the competition in the jewelry market is fierce. Suddenly, a customer who has a large amount of gem resources in his hand must be firmly grasped in his hands.
"Please sit down and take a break first. I don't know if you are here this time..."
"Just like before, please give me a price for these two gems."
"Oh, it's incredible that these two rubies are really good."
The manager invited professional treasure appraisers and revealed a figure that exceeded the annual income of ordinary Japanese middle-class people.
Relf did not bargain and agreed very happily.
After a simple agreement, they planned to complete the transaction, but at this moment, an old man suddenly came to the manager.
"Manager Amano."
"Yes, Chairman?!"
After hearing this, the manager who had his head down and focused his attention on the gem raised his head, but was obviously surprised and his straight body became even more straight. This was the scene of seeing his boss.
"Why did you come here, Chairman?"
"Don't worry, I'm just choosing accessories with my naughty granddaughter. Garden, see if you have anything you want?"
After the old man finished speaking, a lively woman walked out from behind him.
The woman was still wearing a school uniform, and she seemed to be a high school student, but her clothes did not show her wealth. However, the girl named Suzuko pulled another girl straight to the counter.
"Xiaolan, look, which one is suitable for me?"
"Sangzi, how could I understand such things? And things like accessories shouldn't be chosen by myself?"
"You are too negative. If you always have this attitude, you won't attract Shinichi's papaya or women's accessories, so you have to make others feel suitable. By the way, how about this?"
The garden saw two rubies placed on the counter for the first time.
"Huh? It seems to be very good."
"Miss, these two rubies were brought by this customer and have not been processed yet. If you like it, I will contact the designer for processing."
"Oh, this is the first time I have seen a natural ruby."
Yuanzi started without hesitation, looked at Relf after careful consideration.
"Is it yours?"
"Well, but I'm here for a deal this time. If you want, you can talk to this manager."
Ralf seemed a little careless. His attention was not focused on Yuanko at all. Instead, another girl beside her, the girl named Xiaolan. He recognized her. This girl was Ran Mori who had been by Conan, and that was the daughter of Kogoro Mori.
The moment he saw her, Relf subconsciously looked around.
Sure enough, a primary school student with eyes and a slightly larger head was wandering around in the jewelry store casually.
It's Conan.
When Cao Cao came, he didn't expect that he was talking about Conan with Zaruba before, and now he meets the real master here.
Conan seemed to have noticed Relf's gaze. Looking back, he looked at him and looked at him. A trace of shock flashed in Conan's eyes, as if he had seen something unexpected, but then he covered up his expression and walked towards him with a innocent look on his face.
"Mr. Yang, then trade according to the previous price, this is cash."
"Um."
After taking the handbag handed over by the manager, Relf quickly checked it, and there was no mistake.
"Then, I'll say goodbye."
"Wow—"
Just as Relf was about to leave, Conan, who was walking towards him, seemed to trip over something and fell towards Relf.
Relf subconsciously caught him.
"Conan, are you okay?"
Seeing this scene, Xiaolan, who was standing beside her, hurried forward and asked Conan.
"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan, I just tripped, this uncle caught me."
"Really, you have to look at the front when walking, and you have to lift your feet. And, thanks to you."
Xiaolan scolded Conan for a moment, then thanked Relf.
"It's okay, this kid is very cute, I like him very much, so goodbye."
After saying that, Relf stood up and walked straight out of the store, but he didn't seem to notice that a piece of white colloid had been pasted on his body. Because it was the same color as the white coat, it was difficult for people to notice.
Conan, who was still there, suddenly flashed white light on the lenses of his glasses, covering his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
