The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 259

After signing with Millet Carter and receiving a ten-pound down payment, Klein did not immediately rush to Williams Street. Instead, he made an appointment for four in the afternoon.

Millet understands this. Alone, Detective Sherlock Moriarty must definitely recruit people to do the exploration.

As the old man left, Klein immediately returned to the dining table and cut the steak that had turned cold before devouring it.

Seriously, he doesn't need lunch? Why should she choose such a time to come .. After barely filling her stomach, Klein bitterly began to clean up.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Mary arrived on schedule. His eyes were slightly red and swollen, but his face turned gloomy. Stelyn Sammer, who accompanied him, had no choice but to remain silent.

Klein handed him an envelope containing carefully selected photos.

"Mrs, please confirm."

Mary stopped for two seconds and slowly took a breath. Then, he took the envelope, took out the photo, and examined it.

"… Amazing, very good.you are the most efficient and responsible detective I have ever met.I am honored to introduce you as a member of the Quelaag Club… This is the remaining 7 pounds for payment. You deserve it ." Mary took out a wallet from her leather bag and counted five-pound notes and two one-pound notes.

Then, without waiting for Klein to answer, he put the photo back in an envelope, put it in his handbag, and suddenly got up to leave.

Knocks. Knocks. Knocks. His buttonless boots made a hasty sound as he stepped on them. Stelyn Sammer struggles to keep up.

As she opens the door, Mary stumbles and nearly falls down, but luckily, Stelyn catches her.

With this episode, Mary obviously slowed down and looked calm.

Madam, you forgot to bring a portable camera .. I'll give it to Madame Sammer later, and she'll bring it to you. Klein secretly watched this scene, slightly shook his head without saying anything.

He returned to the second floor, took a nap, woke up comfortably due to the church bells nearby.

Klein had searched the map and confirmed that Williams Street was on the border of West Borough and Empress Borough, a residential area in the heart of Backlund.

A nice house in West Borough and Hillston Borough costs about 2,500 pounds. Millet Carter House is close to Empress Borough, and is the property of a former viscount. This area must be pretty big. The total purchase price will be at least 3,500 pounds, maybe even 5,000 pounds. It was enough for a sizable mystical item..He actually came to visit me without a housekeeper or maid, perhaps because he was new to Backlund and had not settled yet? Klein wore a double-breasted coat, a hat, and held his cane before heading to Minsk Road.

The gas lamp had not yet turned on, and the road turned out to be darker than night; however, the air was quite good, with no suffocating air in the regions to the east.

Using a chartered train, he went all the way to Williams Street. Klein saw a waiter waiting outside the Unit 8 house.

The male servant, who was wearing a red vest and light-colored trousers, bowed respectfully to the visitors who came.

"Good day, may I ask if you're Detective Moriarty?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with Mr. Carter." Klein nodded and followed the maid to a large house with a garden and lawn.

The house is two floors high. The first floor was a mess, with many construction materials placed everywhere. There are workers who come and make some modifications.

Millet Carter doesn't wear a hat. Covering his nose, he walked over.

"i'm very sorry about the mess and the dirt here, but I hope everything will be fine before my family arrives in Backlund. I can only urge them to continue working non-stop."

After saying that, he looked at the waiter and instructed, "Continue watching them."

No wonder he didn't bring a servant with him. Even his servants had become supervisors.Klein smiled and said, “I know many doctors. They told me that the newly renovated house was not suitable for direct occupancy. A person should wait at least three months for his or her ventilation to be good enough. Otherwise, parents and children who are not strong enough will easily fall ill."

"Is that so?" Millet led Klein into the basement and asked doubtfully.

"I never verified it, but I chose to believe in authority. It was said that this came from the words handed down by Emperor Roselle," Klein casually made up an excuse.

Millet nodded, then turned to look at the door. He couldn't help but frown before asking, "Detective Master, you didn't bring an assistant?

"There might be a little danger in that structure."

I have an assistant; it's just that you can't see him. Klein sneered while saying seriously, "This is my first visit, so I'll proceed with great caution. If there's a problem, I'll step back.

"i'm experienced in this field, so I won't put myself in dangerous situations. If I was matched with an inexperienced assistant, it might easily affect my nimble and decisive actions."

Millet surprised.

"You're very professional."

A professional bluff .. Klein quietly added.

Without a doubt, Millet leads Detective Moriarty through the messy living room and down the stairs to a fairly spacious basement.

There were no gas pipes here, but four metal candlesticks were installed on the wall, the yellow lights were flickering.

Stepping on the stone pavement on the ground, Klein could only sigh in reflection.

As expected of the noble property. Even the basement has been "beautifully decorated". Moreover, it was almost as big as the living room in my current home…

At this moment, Millet pointed forward and said, "There's a secret door there. Found by the workers while they were renovating."

"I'll leave the rest to you. Aman." The old man, Millet, gave Klein a flaming lantern and warned him.

"Has this place been ventilated before?" Klein asked carefully.

Millet shook his head without being seen.

"Inside it's not too stuffy, but I don't let the workers go too far."

"Good." Klein inspected his belongings, wore black gloves, and, under Millet's gaze, unhurriedly carried the lantern and approached the stone door. He pushed it open with his wand.

Amidst the heavy creaking sound, through the light outside, he saw a dark colored passageway paved with stones.

There were several wooden doors on both sides of the hallway and at the ends. They have started to rot, but are still barely usable.

Not too old-fashioned.. However, the striking style of the door as well as the depth and thickness of the stone slab did not match.... Did the viscount family change it earlier? Klein silently activated his Spirit Vision, gripped his staff, and walked forward, step by step, with a lantern in hand.

The light scattered the darkness, and as he passed through the rooms on both sides, he could see a somewhat empty scene through the open door that was likely opened due to the exploration of the workers Millet had hired. There are also long benches and tables that have the same aesthetic style as the doors.

There was no sign of a flashing spirit. Klein did a brief inspection. Without stopping, he continued forward until he arrived at the end of the hall where the double black stone door was located.

Stretching out his gloved right hand, he half-clamped his cane and slowly pushed open the door.

A thunderous sound of friction began to echo in the air as the stone door slowly opened. A spirit light suddenly appeared in Klein's eyes, reflecting intertwined auras of different colors.

His heart stiffened as he pushed the door open, before taking a few steps back.

The cracks on the stone door widened rapidly, and a slimy black creature fell down from above.

It was a snake with a triangular head and a pattern of red flowers on its head!

It straightened its upper body, stuck out its tongue, and looked at Klein with cold brown eyes.

One after another snakes fell down from above the door as they piled up at the entrance.

Klein looked at the large hall outside of them. In the center of the hall, countless snakes of various colors crept together, forming a snake nest that was about ten meters wide. A slimy and disgusting feeling invaded his senses.

Klein felt his scalp numb as he could not help but take two steps back. He even wanted to throw his face away without daring to look straight ahead.

Even though he was male, he was still afraid of snakes. Snakes are the animals he fears the most.

It starts with psychological trauma in the past. When she was a child — despite already passing her sleep time — she liked to secretly open her bedroom door and watch movies with her parents through the gap.

Unfortunately, his parents had seen a snake disaster movie. One scene involves the demolition of a building. The result was the discovery of a large nest of snakes, and the dense horde of snakes remained deeply imprinted in his mind.

Can a Sleep Spell affect so many snakes? Klein gulped and said into the air, "Do you have a solution?"

Miss Bodyguard in her black gothic dress quickly appeared beside her, her mouth tightly closed. He didn't say anything.

Klein looked at him and he looked back at Klein, but no one spoke.

As a snake slowly crept out, Klein finally coughed and repeated, "Do you have a solution?"

Miss Guards did not answer. Instead, he floated up and suddenly, a cold wind blew in the passageway.

Whooshing sound!

The wind roared as it blew into the hall. The temperature drops rapidly as it approaches the temperature of the outside world.

Whooshing sound!

The dense snake in the middle of the hall suddenly crept in all directions, looking for a warmer and more suitable place to survive.

Two to three minutes later, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the hall and hallway, and countless snakes had disappeared without much trace.

Whooshing sound!

Continued as Klein said, raving, "I-that's enough."

The surging cold wind slowed down, but the cold did not subside. The figure of Miss Bodyguard disappeared once again.

Klein raised his right hand that was holding the stick, covered his mouth and nose, and sneezed. Then, he lifted the lantern and carefully walked through the stone door into the spacious hall.

The style here is identical to the hallway outside. There were eight circular columns of the same color erected there.

Metal poles hang from a tall dome, and at the bottom there are candlesticks carved into various creatures.

As a History major, someone who could hardly be called an elite in this field, Klein made an initial assessment based on this unique setting.

The Fourth Age?
