Chapter 110 - First Mission After Becoming Famous
"We hope that you can get
or Judy an opportunity to enter the ball through Detective Isengard's connections."
"You don't have to take risks for the rest. We will handle it properly and not bring you any danger."
At this, Cullen smiled at Ebner, waiting for his reply.
What a coincidence. I just received an invitation not long ago...
Upon hearing this request, Ebner was stunned for a mont before asking after a mont of silence, "Viscount Cullen, why don't you use your vampire connections to get an invitation? Moreover, with your abilities, you should be able to sneak into an ordinary ball without an invitation, right?"
Cullen shook his head with a smile and explained, "This isn't an ordinary ball. When the ti cos, it's said that an important figure will be present to give a speech. The examination at the venue will definitely be very strict. If we use our relationship with the Sanguine, we will definitely be heavily scrutinized by MI9."
"A big shot? Which big shot?" Ebner asked curiously. Mike didn't ntion this on his invitation.
"I don't know who it is exactly... but it should be a mber of the royal family." At this point, Cullen looked at Ebner, who was obviously a little moved, and added, "Of course, we won't let you help us for nothing. If we can obtain the qualification to enter, I'll give you a copy of a set of mysticism books from the Blood Clan."
Ebner's eyes lit up upon hearing this. After pondering for a mont, he said, "Actually, I've been invited to this ball as well. I was allowed to bring a companion, so I don't have to trouble Teacher. However..."
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask." Viscount Cullen smiled and promised.
"I wish to purchase a Beyonder ingredient from the Sanguine. I need your help to pass it on," Ebner said with anticipation.
"What material?" Cullen didn't think it was too troubleso to be the middleman, and he could even earn a difference in price, so why not?
"The heart of the Elder Tree." Ebner exhaled, revealing his goal.
Cullen glanced at him and said aningfully, "So you really are a 'detective'..." Then he changed the topic and said with certainty, "Sure, I'll help you ask about this. I rember that this material should be in the treasury."
"That's great! Thank you, Viscount Cullen." After Ebner thanked him from the bottom of his heart, he recalled that the identities of these Forsaken Saints seed to be unable to withstand investigation. He could not help but ask,
"Although I can bring a companion in since there are important people here, I'm afraid the inspection will not be lax. What identity do you want to enter with ?"
It was definitely impossible for him to be a Forsaken One. Although he was an official mber of the Orthodox Churches, he was also a foreigner.
At this mont, Judy, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly interjected, "I have a Beyonder item. It records the transformation ability of a Faceless. When the ti cos, I can disguise myself as a clean, capable local and enter with you."
"What identity? If it's soone who has nothing to do with , I'm afraid he will be suspected by MI9's security, right? If you are being watched, it will be very difficult for you to get close to Madam Windsor." Although Ebner didn't know how the Forsaken Ones planned to deal with Windsor, once they were stared at, it would be difficult to use any powerful ans.
"That's true... In the next one or two days, I'll use a disguised identity to get to know you and pretend to have a good chat with you. This way, it won't seem too abrupt for us to attend the ball together." Judy thought for a mont and imdiately gave a solution.
"That's a good idea... But did you use the Faceless powers recorded in your Beyonder items for that long?"
"Don't worry. This ability has been recorded more than twenty tis, and it can last for at least six hours each ti. It won't be a problem even if it takes another week," Judy replied confidently.
But why did you record so many Faceless? Was it because you changed your face every ti you caused trouble?
Ebner grumbled under his breath but kept a smile on his face. What he didn't expect was that the insult was actually close to the truth.
At this mont, Captain Asenov, who had been silent all this while, decided.
"Alright, let's do as we discussed. You guys go and prepare yourselves. Don't make things difficult for Mr. Bryan."
"Yes, Captain!"
...
August 1st, Wednesday...
After breakfast, Ebner glanced at the date on the Backlund Morning Post that his teacher had subscribed to. He couldn't help but sigh. It's already August. Ti sure flies... This is also the last month of peace. From now on, the Loen Kingdom and even the entire world will experience one major event after another.
It was not until the distant bell of the Holy Wind Cathedral rang seven tis that Ebner snapped out of his reverie. He slowly stood up and went to his cupboard to take out his clothes.
He wore a black vest, a suit of the sa color, copper-frad glasses, a half top hat, and a faint scholarly aura. After looking at himself in the mirror in satisfaction, Ebner greeted his teacher's servant and left.
But at that mont, two girls walked in together. Their eyes lit up when they saw Ebner and they quickly walked over.
The girl walking in front was wearing a beige dress and a small lady's hat. There were faint freckles on her face. She was Ebner's junior in public school, the daughter of Sergeant Fiona in the North District, Susan.
Ebner also recognized the girl behind Susan. She was also the classmate of the original owner of the body, Roman, who had joined the Kapusky teacher club at the last ball.
"Great detective, why aren't you saying anything? Have you forgotten your old classmate and old friend now that you're famous?" Susan walked up to him and joked with Ebner.
"Why would I? I'm just a little surprised to see you guys... Is there sothing you want to talk to
about?" Ebner was indeed a little surprised. As far as he knew, Susan had been receiving so ladylike etiquette education recently, so she probably didn't have ti to co out and play.
"Can't I visit you if I have nothing to do? When we were in the club, apart from Jane, we had the best relationship!" The girl first argued with dissatisfaction, then she pulled Roman behind her and continued, "But you guessed right, we do have a commission... No, to be precise, Roman has a commission for you."
"What commission? About Mr. Kapusky?" Ebner asked curiously.
"Because my mother found quite a number of parents to work together to put pressure on Mr. Kapusky, who has already been expelled by the school. He seems to have gone to Tingen to apply for a new position, and he's currently not in Backlund." Susan rejected Ebner's guess, then tugged at the dejected Roman and said helplessly for her,
"We're here for Roman's matter... Her engagent partner seems to have a lover in the dark. We want you to find out what their relationship is... If it's really that kind of relationship, we hope you can take a few photos as evidence."
Does that an my first assignnt after I beca famous was to catch adulterers? Ebner grumbled to himself before turning to Roman, who kept her head down. For so reason, he felt sothing was wrong with Roman. And she didn't seem as sad as she seed.
"Roman, what's your fiance's na? Where does he live? And how did you know he has a lover?" It wasn't as if Ebner hadn't been involved in catching adulterers when he was a "Student of Ratiocination
