Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 674 Two hundred and fifty one. Alone

   The negotiations that Count Foley Adler waited for did not take place, only the indifferent agreement of the businessman.

   In the light of the fireplace, Earl Foley Adler frowned, bearing the majesty of a superior.

   He thought it was too simple. Simplicity is often not a good thing in business. It usually represents hidden feelings, troubles, and the opposite of asking for yourself.

   "That may cost tens of millions of contribution points."

   Count Foley Adler leaned forward slightly, stared at the eyes under the hood and said seriously.

   "Mr. Lu Li's contribution points are enough to pay." The merchant replied.

   Lord Foley Adler sat back on the sofa, his breath and the faint crackling of the fireplace left in the hall.

  Thinking for a moment, Earl Foley Adler asked, "Can I know the identity of that Mr. Lu Li?"

"Can't."

   Merchants will not sell information about exorcists, at least not to non-exorcists. However, Earl Foley Adler seemed to have misunderstood something, and showed such an expression as expected.

   "I see... The Adler family agrees to this acquisition."

   On the other side, the captain, who had been waiting for several minutes, was brought back to the hall by the maid.

  Empty and bright hall with only the earl and the butler in front of the fireplace.

   "I agreed to his acquisition."

   Count Foley Adler answered the captain's eagerness, and asked the maid to take the blanket away, intending to end the meeting. "You know what to do, Gray."

   Apparently, while Captain Grey was waiting in the parlor, the earl went to find out something.

"certainly!"

  Captain Gray trembled slightly because of his excitement, bowed and said, "I will let Mr. Lu Li remember the count's kindness..."

   Count Foley Adler was very satisfied with Gray's intelligence, and he didn't even care about the betrayal of his subordinates. He waved his hand: "Very good. You can go over and make a good impression on the new boss."

   The butler took Captain Grey out of the mansion, but the cold night wind failed to cool his excitement.

   Now, he is the chairman of the Fourteen Shipping Company, and everything is just because the man wants to cancel the night route——

  The horseshoe galloped on the bluestone road, and the carriage returned to the commercial street outside Prince's Harbor, telling Lu Li, Count of Freely Adler that he had agreed to his acquisition. Then announced to the stunned second mate that he was the first mate from now on, and sent him to port to inform the Raistlin crew to speed up.

  Captain Gray showed his ability in front of the new boss, and Lu Li also arranged the chairman's position to him as agreed.

  The newly promoted chairman of the Fourteenth Shipping Company could have transferred other captains, but he did not do so and chose to lead the voyage himself.

  An hour later, Taal, who became first mate, came and told them that the Raistlin was ready to set sail.

   As dawn approached, the early morning mist filled the port.

  This medium-sized cruise ship with only two passengers honked its horn and slowly left the port.

   Normally a continuous voyage would give the crew a bit of a laugh, but this time was different.

  Because it was sailing in relative safety during the day, and everyone knew the voyage would be paid five times as much, and rumored to be a passenger of their new boss.

   I heard that Captain Gray even spent all his net worth to buy some vegetables and fruits at a big price. Just to prepare a meal.

   But no one laughed at Captain Grey's stupidity. From the captain of a cruise ship to the chairman of a company that owns dozens of merchant ships, everyone knows how to choose.

   Knowing that Lu Li was in a hurry, Captain Gray even asked the cruise ship to sail at full speed on the river, just to reach the destination as soon as possible.

With    full speed ahead, the Raistlin arrived at Wiener Freeze Port at 4:00 pm two hours earlier than normal sailing.

  The largest port in the mainland of the main family.

The    crescent-shaped bay makes Wiener Freeze Harbour share some similarities with Rodster Harbour. Dozens of ships floating around the bay seem to give a sense of the former prosperity of Rodster Harbor.

   However, Wiener City does not have the rich commercial flavor and hustle and bustle of Belfast. This seems to be related to the gray-black stone buildings on the street, the smoke coming from the chimneys, and the passers-by wearing dark clothes.

   and Wiener City have a substantial city lord's mansion.

   The seagulls hovered over the port under the gloomy clouds, and the sound of the ship dispelled the desolation brought by the cold sea breeze.

The   Raislin slowly docked in the space of the ship's port. To the surprise of the port workers, there were no passengers on this cruise ship, only a few crew members stood on the deck and took the bridge.

   "Do you know anyone here?" Lu Li asked.

   Celica leaned weakly beside her. The day's sailing made her a little seasick.

   "Please give us the information." The first mate, who was already the captain, said respectfully.

   watched the first mate leave the cruise ship, and it didn't take long for him to return with a familiar letter.

   There was still a small newsboy at the port, carrying a letter to Lu Li.

The    letters were notes left by Aunt Mary and Anna respectively.

  Aunt Mary persuaded them to stop again. She was going to take a boat across the Channel to the Badlands. This was her last letter.

  Lu Li thought that Anna had left the same note. But unexpectedly, Anna said she found some clues that pointed to the existence of Aunt Mary who fell into the conspiracy - possibly some evil spirit.

  Anna was not sure whether she could fight against the evil spirit, she planned to give it a try, and left a message that she would leave a clue after arriving in the Badlands. If Lu Li wants to continue to follow, he can find her by following the clues.

   "Can I go to the Badlands?" Lu Li put away the envelope and asked Captain Gray calmly.

  Captain Gray looked embarrassed: "The Raistlin is too small to cross the ocean, and the crew needs to rest now..."

  Boiler workers have worked hard for more than 12 hours, and they urgently need a break.

   "The last cruise to the Badlands will set sail in half an hour. If you need it, I will contact them to reserve a ticket." The first mate said at this time.

  Lu Li nodded slightly and looked at Celica: "The next journey is not suitable for you to follow. You and Raistlin will return to Prince Harbor."

   "No, I'll wait for you here." Celica didn't ask to follow, but she insisted on her own.

  Lu Li didn't say anything, got off the Raistlin, and waited at the port with Captain Celica and the others.

   A few minutes later, the first mate came back and complained to Captain Gray that the Ashuri would only provide second class because both first and first class were full.

  Lu Li expressed that he didn't care, and gave a thousand shillings to Celica, so that Captain Grey would take care of Celica temporarily, and after saying goodbye, boarded a large ocean cruise ship named Ashuri.

The final destination of the    Ashuri was the Lennon Islands. It will stop briefly at Qiaotou Harbor in the Badlands, where Lu Li will disembark.

  Lu Li stood on the deck, overlooking the Raistlin not far away. There were also many passengers gathered on the deck, waving goodbye to relatives and friends below.

   After a while, the thick and distant sound of the ship sounded, and the Ashuri was towed out of the port by the tugboat and slowly sailed out of the bay.

  Lu Li took his eyes off the deck and walked into the cabin.
