At the beginning, Duanmuhuai just handled it with the thought of "Leave this matter to Lani and it will be fine."

But soon, he discovered that something seemed... not quite right.

Although she didn't know what Lani had done, Mary's expression looked very abnormal.

At first, he said with a pale face, "It's so scary, it's really scary."

Then it turned into a dull-eyed "I want to live, I want to live..."

In the end, it became "Just kill it... Just kill it..."

"……………………"

To be honest, I feel super unstable.

"I asked, what kind of training did you give her?"

Duanmuhuai finally couldn't help but find Lani and asked, "Don't let me spoil the golden eyes that I finally obtained."

"Ah, actually it's nothing."

Faced with Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Lani seemed very calm.

"I just threw her into the underground cemetery."

"Underground cemetery...you are not talking about the Heroes Cemetery, are you?"

"Of course it is there. After all, actual combat is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"…………"

Duanmuhuai finally understood why Mary had that expression.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. Although that child looks like that on the outside, he is actually a very strong child, and his escape skills are not very good."

Well, that's true. Duanmuhuai also felt that Mary didn't practice anything at the beginning, only the escape skills, and now it seems to be really useful. But this is also normal. Don't hear the word "escape", it feels like

Simple, avoiding the pursuit of monsters in the dark city is not as simple as running around like a headless fly. Not only must you have good reflexes, but you must also have the ability to judge and choose a path in a short period of time, otherwise you will run into it when you see a road.

It's a dead end, and what's left is at the mercy of others.

From this point of view, Mary's escape skills are at least professional.

The prerequisite is that you have this occupation.

However, Mary must not let her friends see her at this time, otherwise something might happen.

Fortunately, the Master School has been on vacation during this period, and Mary also explained it to her friend on the pretext of going out for internship, otherwise it would be difficult to tell.

"But having said that, Golden Eyes are really powerful."

According to Lani, Mary's golden eyes can not only easily capture the trajectory of the opponent's attack, but can even easily grasp the magic condensation point and direction when casting magic. Like some area magic, even the caster himself can

It may not be possible to judge the distance, but Mary can easily avoid them all. According to me, she can understand the direction and end point of these magics just by seeing them...

This golden eye is too buggy.

It was also thanks to this that Lani became very interested in Mary's golden eyes - it might be tragic for Mary, but considering that the real battle in the future would be more dangerous, Duanmuhuai followed Lani.

went.

It's better than dying on the battlefield.

After that, Duanmuhuai also watched Mary's fight... Well, how should I put it, maybe because she is used to escaping, Mary's fighting style is more based on dodge and counterattack. She will rarely take the initiative to fight against

When the enemy launches an attack, they will not attack the enemy first, but will only dodge and counterattack after the enemy launches an attack on themselves.

Frankly speaking, this seems a bit negative to Duanmu Huai. He prefers to strike first, rather than passively being beaten and then fighting back like Mary. However, from the initial blind escape to being able to fight back now, it is already quite a big improvement.

It's progress, right?

Well, probably.

Although Lani taught her very carefully, according to her, Mary's own magic power was not very high, so she only let the other party master a few magic spells, such as "Magic Radiant Sword", "Kalia Swift Sword" and "Ka"

"Leah's Return" as well as "Starlight" and "Calmness"...According to Lani, after mastering these magics, Mary basically has no problem protecting herself.

Well, at least judging from the way she trained, that was indeed the case.

As for more powerful magic...well, Mary can't use it because she doesn't have enough magic power, that's what Lani said.

"Next, I just need to take her to experience a few actual battles, and she'll be fine."

"Huh? Wasn't that considered actual combat before?"

After hearing what Lani said, Mary's face turned pale.

"It was just training before. Real combat... is still far away. In short, the rest will be left to you."

For Lani, teaching Mary these magics would be considered as completing the task. Well, actually, if it is trained as a magician, it is obviously impossible to achieve results in two or three years, but since Mary is just

If you want to learn how to use magic but don't want to delve into it, it's not too difficult. Just like driving, as long as you practice for long enough, you can almost learn it.

As for advanced skills such as drifting, that will naturally wait until later - of course, most people will probably never need the ability to bend drainage channels in their lifetime.

It just so happened that the semester of Master College was about to begin, so Duanmuhuai took Mary back to her world.

"Mr. Duanmu, if you receive another commission this time, please be sure to take me with you!"

Different from before, this time Mary seemed very positive. Well, Duanmuhuai can understand that she finally learned how to use magic and deal with dangers, and Mary also wanted to practice it herself. For example, people who have learned to drive must be sure at first

It's like being excited to drive.

"Don't worry, if there is a commission, I will definitely call you."

Duanmuhuai also promised Mary the same thing.

result……………

"It's really relaxing..."

Lying on the sofa, Duanmu Huai stared at the TV with dull eyes, looking bored. I originally thought that there would be many commissions after changing the place. In fact, there were indeed many commissions before, but this half

Over the past few months, similar cases have decreased sharply. It really made Duanmuhuai feel a little bored. Although some letters were sent, Duanmuhuai read the contents and found that they were not serious cases - at least for investigators.

He said that he was not interested in investigating other people's marital infidelity or anything like that.

Unless the person cheating on you is an evil god, that's another matter.

By the way, the business on exorcism items is surprisingly good, and there are even many repeat customers. According to the maid and Lorena, they all said excitedly, "This thing is so useful. Please give it to me again."

How many of me?"

How should I put it... people in this world are too stubborn, right? They would rather solve the problem themselves than go to a detective?

And after you find it useful, do you plan to make a few more? Does this mean that you will solve problems by yourself in the future?

How should I put it, from the perspective of the Tribunal, it is a good thing to win souls, but on the other hand, robbing one's own business is nothing!

Duanmu Huai felt speechless. People in this world were really outrageous in this regard.

But if you think about it carefully, if this were not the case, the profession of investigator would not exist in this world.

Fortunately or unfortunately, when a person complains that he is idle, most of the time he is not idle.

Just like now.

"Lord Knight, I have a letter for you!"

Lorena walked into the room excitedly, and then handed a letter to Duanmu Huai. The latter stretched out his hand to take the letter with some boredom. After confirming that it was not a stupid banquet invitation, he opened the envelope and took it.

The letter inside came out.

This is what the letter said.

Dear Mr,

I am here to send you my greetings only on behalf of my client, Mr. Best Hank of Cornwall. I imagine you must be confused by this letter and the fact that you have done so much for the Baskervilles.

, it is no secret among us. We all know that you are an excellent expert in solving such difficult matters. Therefore, on behalf of my client, I take the liberty to invite you to my office to discuss some matters.

It is not convenient to record the content in a letter. If you have this intention, you can go to No. 139 Knight Street. I am waiting for your visit at any time...

"Oh, that's interesting."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also sat up. This was the first letter mentioning the Baskerville family. Of course, it was impossible for Duanmu Huai to publicize the previous incident loudly. After all, he was a detective and needed to have

The duty of confidentiality, and whether the Baskerville family will say anything is their business. Since the other party mentioned this matter, it is equivalent to informing that they have a certain relationship with the Baskerville family.

Well, to put it bluntly, it means "I was introduced here by an acquaintance."

At least it's more serious than those commissions from idiots who listen to rumors in the streets or don't listen to others.

So Duanmuhuai dialed the number on the letter. On the other side of the phone was a gentle and polite man. After making an appointment with him, Duanmuhuai took Lorena out with him and went to the place where the letter was written.

location.

In a modern-looking office, Duanmuhuai met the owner of the letter, Schiller Bost, a legal consultant.

"Welcome, dear Mr. Duanmu."
