"Brian, congratulations on making the right choice. Your destiny has changed because of this!" Arnold said like a poet, with a rhythm and a rhythm.
Catherine stretched out her palms, covered her mouth, let out a long yawn and said: "The investigation is over. If you have time, come to No. 38 Dunjiao Street and we will discuss it with you in detail."
With that said, Catherine greeted Arnold and prepared to go back. Halfway out, Catherine suddenly turned her head and said as if she remembered something: "By the way, please be careful when you meet someone who says they can make wishes come true. In this world, everything
All gifts come with a price, and if you haven’t paid anything for it, it must be because you haven’t discovered it yet.”
After leaving such a message, Catherine only gave Brian a back view. Brian did not follow her. He planned to go to understand the situation tomorrow.
"In this world, all gifts come with a price. If you haven't paid anything for it, it must be because you haven't discovered it yet." Bly repeated Catherine's last words in a low voice, feeling a little creepy.
It should be fine, Borg won't harm me...
"How was it?" Arnold, wearing a yellow windbreaker, asked Catherine on the way back.
Feeling the morning breeze, Catherine, who had been lowering her head, pulled the collar of her white robe tighter, and then she slowly said in a lazy voice: "When he saw us, he looked very calm, until he was
After the insight parrot pointed it out, the emotions of confusion, nervousness, and fear appeared. But he did not panic, but began to observe the situation to see if we had any malicious intent. If so, he would run away immediately. In general, he was afraid but not lost.
Courageous, calm despite being nervous, he is a good person.”
"Sounds good!" Arnold nodded as he walked on the street. He seemed very happy that a new member would finally be added to the team.
Then, Arnold looked at the direction he was heading and realized that it was the route back to the office. He tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Captain, aren't we going to the casino to investigate that matter today?"
"Not going." Catherine Motley shook her head gently, her beautiful long golden hair fluttering in the wind.
"I just missed it for several days in a row. I suspect that the other party has the ability to predict or warn. If this is the case, then we will never be able to catch him."
"Let's rest for the next few days. I have applied for anti-divination, anti-prophecy, and anti-perception extraordinary items from above. They will be available in a few days. We will try to catch him then!"
…
After Brian saw Arnold off, he went to the bathroom to tidy up and prepare to go out to buy some things.
Before going out, Brian looked at the oil lamp on the desk in his bedroom. After a little hesitation, he decided to take the oil lamp with him at all times in the future to avoid being unable to use it due to distance when needed.
Brian got on his bicycle and headed towards the end of Rose Street. Finally, he turned into Niujiao Street at the entrance of the alley and rode to a bakery filled with aroma.
"Ms. Bertha, I need two portions of wheat bread." Brian stopped his bicycle on the spot and waved to the bakery with a smile.
Inside the bakery filled with the aroma of wheat straw, there stood a lady in her twenties, with a single ponytail and a patterned apron.
"Okay! Brian hasn't seen you for a long time. Where are you going?" In the bakery, a brown-haired girl named Bertha Polly smiled sweetly and asked while sandwiching two pieces of wheat between pieces of bread.
The bread was put into carefully prepared cardboard bags.
Brian often missed breakfast because he slept too late. Whenever this happened, he would come to Bertha's Bakery to buy bread to satisfy his hunger.
Over time, there were more such things, and Brian and Bertha gradually became familiar with each other.
"I've been at the college recently, and I just came home." Brian smiled slightly and said, "How's the bakery doing during this time, Bertha?"
Speaking of this, Bertha suddenly became depressed. She handed two pieces of packaged wheat bread to Brian, then stood on the stand and said, "Oh, I don't know why, but I haven't been able to buy bread recently!"
"How is that possible?" Brian was surprised and said firmly: "Bertha, your craftsmanship is the best in the streets around here!"
Bertha smiled, waved her hand gently, and changed the subject humbly: "No matter how good it is, what can I do? Compared with Brian, you are still far behind. You know, you are the only person I know.
I’m really envious that I got admitted to Zerol College, I want to see what the college is like!”
Brian took out 4 copper coins from his bag and placed them on the display cabinet of the bakery.
The name of the copper coin is called a penny. In the Kingdom of Bru, 10 pence is equal to 1 sole, and 10 sore is equal to 1 pound.
Looking at each other, Brian saw the longing in Bertha's eyes. He smiled comfortingly and said: "There is a chance, Bertha! At this graduation ceremony, you can join my brother and watch it as a family member.
I don't know if you are willing?"
"Huh?" Bertha suddenly raised her head and asked in disbelief, "Really, Brian?"
"Bertha, of course it's true. I will officially inform you then..."
After chatting for a while, Brian said goodbye to Bertha and went to a nearby grocery store to buy 5 new pairs of playing cards, costing 1 soli in total.
Anxious to return home, Bray parked his bicycle and locked himself in the bedroom. He was ready to try the magic trick that suddenly appeared in his mind.
After opening the poker and pouring it into his hand, Brian suddenly felt a strange yet familiar feeling. It felt like he and the poker had been together for many years and were inseparable friends.
"This feeling is really indescribable..."
His fingers danced nimbly, and the cards flew up and down in Brian's hands. Soon, a deck of cards was shuffled.
With the poker face up, Brian pressed his palm down and wiped it with one hand. The poker quickly spread out, showing the four suits separated and sorted from small to large. At the same time, this was also the original sorting of poker.
After the just shuffling, the order of the poker cards has not changed. This is a superb fake hand-washing method.
Later, Brian tried other card-playing skills in his mind one by one, such as hiding cards, stealing cards, changing cards, dealing more, touching more, etc.
During this process, Brian also made a surprising discovery, that is, his fingers and body became extremely flexible, completely different from the stiffness he used to have when writing.
"Does the professional card also have a certain effect on the body?" Thinking of Arnold's explanation in the morning, Brian couldn't help but think about it.
After a while, he realized that it was useless to think so completely on his own, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.
