Lord of Mysteries: S Chapter 87: Lucky

Chapter 87 - Lucky

After Ebner put away the bottle of perfu, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he used his "Aura Extraction" ability to clean up the aura he had left here.

As a "detective" who was good at finding clues, he was naturally an expert in erasing clues.

After doing all of this, Ebner returned along the original route and cleaned up the traces he left behind while taking out the gold coin from the Solomon Empire period.

He rubbed the gold coin that looked uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. Then, he exerted force with his thumb and wiped away the blood on the gold coin's front profile picture.

Due to such a terrifying encounter in a simple investigation case, Ebner deeply felt that his luck today was sowhat terrible. In order to avoid any accidents on the way to the Harvest Church, he decided to remove the seal on the gold coin to make himself luckier.

Of course, the reason why he didn't hesitate to unseal the Sealed Artifact was also because he had received a telegram from Xio from East Chester County before setting off in the morning. Xio had already set off, and as it was faster to take a steam locomotive, he could arrive in the afternoon.

Holding the gold coin of varying colors, Ebner carefully left Dr. Leonardo's house. He walked through two streets before stopping a rental carriage and letting it take him to the Harvest Church in the south of the bridge.

Due to the dangerous perfu in his arms, Ebner didn't dare take the crowded subway.

Rotans Street, where the doctor's house was located, was located in the south of Cherwood Borough. It was not too far away from West Borough and the south side of the Bridge. There was a main road that connected the border of Borough 3, so the traffic was relatively convenient.

However, at this mont, the carriage was not heading towards the road that intersected the third district. Instead, it was heading towards the bridge in the east.

Ebner, who had transmigrated for quite so ti, was already familiar with Backlund's roads. When he saw that the route wasn't right, he was sowhat surprised and wary as he asked the carriage driver, "Why aren't you taking Duke Negan's Avenue?" Could it be that you want to take a detour to scam money?

The main road connecting District Three was built by Duke Negan, so it was nad after him.

"Sir, I just ca back from Duke Avenue. There was a very serious traffic accident there. It was said that a steam locomotive that a noble master had privately invented malfunctioned. It suddenly lost control and knocked over seven or eight carriages. It even destroyed a gas ter by the roadside... In short, it's still under martial law over there. There are many cars blocking the road, so it's impossible to pass through," the coachman explained.

Was it such a coincidence? If I didn't have the effect of unsealing the gold coins, would I have t the noble who experinted with steaming cars? Then, I would have been knocked over and smashed into pieces by the terrifying perfu?

Ebner let his imagination run wild for a while, then held the perfu more firmly.

...

On Duke Negan Avenue, the police officers who heard the news and rushed over to maintain order worked together to collect the spilled copper pennies back into the gas ter. Only then did the martial law ease and allow the cars to pass through.

A young police officer who was responsible for counting copper pence pressed down on his sore arm and complained to the inspector beside him, "What's the point of counting so many? Who knows how much has been lost... According to , let the noble who caused the accident take full responsibility and compensate in full."

"The insurance company thinks so too, Shoko. But you should understand that if we can't provide strong evidence of financial losses, that viscount's lawyer won't let go of this opportunity to cause trouble." The inspector beside him chuckled.

Right at this mont, a carriage that was originally parked by the roadside slowly drove past them.

The young police officer nad Shoko subconsciously glanced at her. Then, he saw a lady through the carriage window... a lady that he couldn't take his eyes off.

The lady had silky eyes, fair skin, and black hair. She was wearing a purple low-cut gown that revealed her shoulders. Although her face was covered by a veil, making it impossible to see her full appearance, it still made Officer Shoko, who was full of vigor, feel a throbbing sensation. He wanted to jump into the car and kiss her fingers.

Just as Shoko's eyes bugged out and a strange smile curved his lips, the inspector next to him patted him on the shoulder, snapping him out of his fantasy.

"Alright, stop looking. That's not a lady that you can climb up to." The inspector shook his head and reminded his junior with a smile.

"Inspector, how do you know that I won't be able to climb up? That carriage looks quite ordinary..." Although Shoko's thoughts were no longer running wild, his eyes still followed the departing carriage as he spoke perfunctorily.

"Hehe, kid, you really don't want to give up... Do you see that badge on the back of the carriage?" The inspector patted him again in disappointnt and pointed at the carriage.

"What's that badge?" Shoko carefully identified it and asked in confusion, "I don't think I've ever seen a noble use this badge..."

"It's good that you haven't seen it before! The background of that badge is a palace, and it represents the royal court. This is the emblem of a court martial officer's house. The lady or young miss from before should be the family of a court martial officer, so you naturally can't afford it."

"I see... Achoo!" Officer Shoko retracted his gaze in disappointnt. Then, he suddenly sneezed continuously for a long ti before gradually recovering. Only then did he realize that the inspector beside him was actually lying on the ground, panting heavily as if his asthma had suddenly acted up.

...

Holding the Solomon gold coin tightly, Ebner safely arrived outside the Harvest Church on Rose Street in the South Borough of the Bridge.

The mont he got off the carriage, he saw the tall, giant-like Bishop Utravsky walk out of the cathedral.

"Mother has foreseen your arrival. Follow ." Bishop Utravsky glanced at Ebner and smiled warmly.

The Earth Mother had indeed paid attention to . It seed like the Blood Duke wasn't lying... Sigh, aren't the deities blocking the astral plane to prevent unknown existences from invading? Why would they pay so much attention to a nobody like ? Is my identity as a transmigrator that special?

Even though Ebner knew that it was impossible for the gods to keep an eye on him all the ti, at most, they would pull him when he was in danger of encountering a high-level entity, just like the finger just now... However, the current level of observation was already very frightening.

Forget it. I'll think about it from a different perspective. Although I may have to pay an unknown price to receive this attention and care in the future, isn't it beneficial for

at this stage? Without that person's help, my future might only be left with the path of 'reproduction'.

After consoling himself, Ebner adjusted his mindset and followed Bishop Utravsky into the cathedral.

The mont he entered, Ebner saw all kinds of Beyonder ingredients placed in four corners of the hall. In the middle was a simple baby symbol surrounded by wheat ears, flowers, and spring water.

"The ritual is ready. Give

that item." Bishop Utravsky stopped smiling and said solemnly.

"All right." Ebner didn't hesitate. He imdiately handed her the perfu bottle.

Utravsky carefully took the perfu bottle and placed it on the altar. After lowering his head and praying for a while, he began to chant loudly.

"Earth Mother, who brings fertility and life to the world.

"You are the source of life.

"You are the mother of all things.

...

"I pray for your strength,

"I pray for your blessings.

"I pray that you purify the evil filth in this bottle of liquid and give it the nobility of life again. The greatness of fertility."

After he finished chanting, Ebner felt as though a distorted baby's cry was coming from the bottle of perfu. The voice seed very pleasant, but it also seed to be very ear-piercing. In short, it was filled with contradictions and strangeness. Ebner even felt that if it wasn't for the Earth Mother's power enveloping them, just hearing the voice would make him and the giant bishop in front of him lose control.

Fortunately, after crying for a while, the voice gradually beca low and completely disappeared.

"I actually brought such a dangerous thing with

just now?" Even though Ebner knew that there was nothing wrong with what he had handled, he was still a little scared. He then wanted to open the pure white eye so that he could analyze himself and confirm if he had been corrupted.

But at this mont, Bishop Utravsky, who had ended the ritual, seed to know what he was thinking. He walked over and said gently, "Under the protection of the Mother Goddess, child, you are safe and sound."

Ebner nodded upon hearing this, but still prepared to go back and confirm it. As for how to confirm it? Apart from the White Eye analyzing itself, he thought of a simpler thod. That was to pray to Mr. Fool.

He could pray and say anything.

If Klein gives a response, it ans that he didn't see any problems through Sefirah Castle's Eye of Truth. I can also relax.

If Klein didn't respond after a long ti, it was very likely that he was frightened by the abnormality on my body! It ant that I was really corrupted.

Despite having such thoughts in his mind, Ebner still expressed his approval of the other party's advice and took the initiative to tell Bishop Utravsky about Dr. Leonardo in detail.

"Leonardo is in trouble..."

"That night, I received news from him and went out. That was why soone took the opportunity to steal the Sealed Artifact. Following that, I was ambushed..."
