Book of Gods and Demons

The bell tower of St. Hild's Cathedral rang twelve dullly.

The calendar has turned one day, and it is now August 19th, 1379 Years of Glory Calendar.

Tulum Port, 47 Palm Street, this is a rather luxurious single-family building, with white walls, red tiles, exaggerated exterior relief decoration, plus neat palms in the courtyard Trees, the living environment is quite good.

"Even the recently popular opera actress, she can't afford to buy a house here." Joe stood outside the back door of the small building with a cigar in his mouth, whispering and moving his fingers to count. Account: "So, how much money did Yanan give her?"

Palm Tree Street is the emerging wealthy area of Tulum Port. Here is a small single-family building with a starting price. Hundred thousand gold mark and above.

The Vito family has a certain share in the old theater that was destroyed by shelling, as well as the new theater today. He knows the worth of a popular actor. Velenya Young Lady, as the latest star of the opera, her total legal income for a year is between 3,000 and 5,000 gold marks.

Compared to ordinary commoner, this is already astronomical revenue.

Its just comparing the house price here...

Tooth followed Joe, and he coughed: "Young Master, Villanya Young Lady, you can also choose to rent This house."

Spread your hands, and said with a smile: "The average rent for a mansion near Palm Tree Avenue is about five thousand gold marks a year, with an annual return of 5%. Rate, very ordinary, but constant."

Joe stayed for a while, then shrugged his shoulders: "Wow, of course, you can rent a house. But I rarely have this concept, I like it. I always buy things directly."

His lips moved, and Joe let out a thick smoke.

Five thousand gold marks, without a doubt, this is also a sky-high price that ordinary persons cannot afford. Therefore, the residents of Palm Street are either new rich businessmen with successful business, or artists with noble support behind them.

Operators, ballet actors, poets, painters, composers, pianists...

Many well-known artistic celebrities in the port of Tulum live here, Palm Tree Avenue, The most artistic street in Tulum Harbour is not just because it is adjacent to the New Opera House.

Stand a little farther, pay attention to hiding your body in the shadow of the trees at all times, Skins lightly coughed:

"A ignorant young woman who became famous and quickly became famous. Vanity and enjoyment, especially to maintain the pomp among the peers, how could she reject a luxury house that is too extravagant and wasteful for her? Therefore, she should use all her annual income to rent this house "

With a light sigh, Skins murmured with an unforgettable grievance:

"What followed was naturally a tight money bag, wanting A set of high-end cosmetics is stretched with personal finances. Damn nobles, they know that they are tempting and degenerate, and they will definitely take advantage of it. Velonia Young Lady, actually degenerate and become Anans lover? Do you believe that they will be Is it true love?"

Shook his head, Skins muttered in disgust: "No, how could it be love? His age can be her father!"

"A shameful sum A deal, a shameless deal... Great Mu, look, look, this is the nobleman of the Kingdom of Saint Xia. This is the so-called true face of the most devout believer to you!"

Joe in the heart sighs, Mr. Skins, what resentment is there.

However, it can be seen from this, how popular the Villanya Young Lady has become in Tulum recently, even Mr. Skins has become her loyal fan.

The ghost face shopkeeper quietly pushed open the complicated and exquisite back door made of bronze hollow carvings, and beckoned to Joe.

Joe walked into the mansion, surrounded by Fang, Skins, and a group of guards.

In the kennel next to the back door, two large boxing lion dogs collapsed to the ground, their long tongues drooping from their mouths, snoring lowly. In the small room next to the kennel, a servant on duty at night also fell into a coma.

Follow the path between palm trees and walk all the way into the small building in the middle of the courtyard. The whole mansion is very quiet, and there is no sound. There was heavy snoring in several servants' rooms, and all the servants and servants were asleep.

"Well done, shopkeeper with a grimace!" Joe exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "Being able to take away the information without disturbing anyone is a piece of cake for everyone, especially for the Velenya Young Lady. Good thing."

Think about it. According to Anans account, for this information, the Kingdom of Saint Xia prepared a squadron headed by four Level 1 battleships in the open sea. Joe couldnt help but feel his heart. Sink down.

This matter will not end so easily.

Follow the stairs, go straight to the second floor, and follow the corridor to the living room at the end. Here, there is another arc-shaped staircase leading to the third floor of the owners daily living.

In the largest living room on the third floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the dock are all open, the heavy velvet curtains are put away, and only the soft and translucent gauze curtains are put down.

The night breeze blows the curtains, and the fragrance floats. On the big soft sofa in the living room, a few slim and charming girls lie there sloppily.

There were several silver hookahs on the ground, and the long hose was drooping on the ground. From the cigarette holder, a faint smoke mixed with spices came out.

The air is a bit muddy, and an ambiguous haze echoes in the room.

The clothes of several girls are extremely cool, and their teeth whistles softly. Skins turned his head and sternly ordered a group of guards to stand in the corridor outside, and they were strictly forbidden to walk in half a step. .

Qiao took a deep look at the girl lying on the sofa with a black hair as soft as satin.

The facial features are quite three-dimensional, the creamy-white skin reflects the faint rays of light under the dim light, and the slender body, the fingernails and toenails, are coated with a layer Light pink nail polish.

A few days ago, under Liyas persecution, Joe accompanied her to watch a recent hit "Merchant of Nice" opera. He recognized this as the female of "Merchant of Nice". The protagonist Velenya.

A very delicate beauty.

Thinking about the honor of Your Excellency Yanan and his age, Qiao gave a soft whistle: "Using the lines of "The Merchant of Nice", this is a filthy world. Which flower can get out of the mud and not stain it?"

Shaking his head, Joe walked straight through the living room and into Velenya's bedroom.

According to Yanans confession, on the bedside of Velenyas bedroom, Joe slid a huge oil painting of "Water Lilies" aside more than six feet, revealing a three-foot square behind Safe.

It is still the familiar mountain pattern shield emblem, Qiao smiled and entered the eighteen-digit code that Yanan confessed.

Opening the heavy safe door, you can see a thick leather briefcase one and a half feet long, one foot wide, and half a foot thick.

Joe took out the briefcase and carefully examined the two small padlocks on the briefcase.

The padlock is intact, and the secret notes of Yanans confession are also intact. Obviously, after Yanan handed over the information to Velenya Young Lady, this beautiful girl not at all said The briefcase generates any curiosity that shouldn't be.

"The benevolent Muteste is here. This is good for her and for us." Joe gently patted the briefcase.

Then he flipped through the other things in the safe curiously.

A travel passport, then a stack of blank travelers checks, a dozen small boxes, which contain a few very good gemstone jewelry, according to the market price, about 30,000 gold marks.

A velvet purse contains less than a hundred Gold Coins, which is also mixed with several large gold pounds minted by the Ice Sea Kingdom Mint. Beside the purse, there is a delicate Little Pi folder, which contains more than 700 gold mark notes.

That's all.

An opera actress who has just made her mark in Tulum Harbour and has become a big hit, she has all her wealth.

"Do you need an advanced medicine recipe for a potion of strength?" Laplace's voice sounded in time.

"Oh, no, I am a policeman, not a thief!" Joe hurriedly rejected Laplace's offer.

I took a serious look at the safe, which looked a little empty. Joe was about to close the safe door. His fingers suddenly trembled inexplicably, and his pupils turned pale red. , The three-circle and six-pointed star demon array in the depths of the pupils slowly rotated again.

Joe's hand swayed from side to side in the safe, and then he moved towards a cluster of dark swirling black light in his field of vision and grabbed it, with a sound of'ka-cha'. A hidden door was activated, and there was actually a mezzanine in the safe.

In this mezzanine, piles of brand-new gold mark banknotes are stuffed, and nearly a hundred two-pound gold nuggets are neatly stacked together. On the top of these banknotes and gold, a milk-white crystal ball is placed upright.

Qiao looked deeply at this crystal ball, at this wealth with a total value of more than one million gold marks.

This crystal ball looks ordinary at first glance. Only in the crimson field of vision, Joe can see the unfathomable power in this crystal ball like a deep pool. Deep and twisted, like a small passage leading to an unfathomable existence.

Qiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, the red light in his eyes disappeared.

"Wow!" Joe whispered with emotion: "Our Valenya Young Lady seems to be more than a simple opera actress..."

Laplacian's unique, shrill laugh like a parrot fish gnawing on the coral reverberated.

"Isn't it...If you are willing to pay a little insignificant money, I can even tell you..." Laplace's words stopped abruptly, obviously deliberately catching Joe's appetite.

"Oh, I don't want to know." Joe shook the head, closed the secret door again, restored the safe, returned the painting to its original position, and then strode away with the safe Get out.

One and a half hours later, surrounded by a large group of family guards, Joe finally returned home.
