Conan: I'm not really a winery boss

Chapter 33

"Blood-stained blessing?" Tomie frowned slightly, and the skill in Curator Ochiai's skill column also had this name.

"Yes." Hongzi confirmed: "This is a painting created by the medieval painter Shahram, no, a painting."

Fu Jiang looked sideways at Hong Zi, and waited quietly for her to continue.

"It was painted by him following his friend, the righteous Baron Laham, in a hunt for demons, in order to glorify his friend's exploits.

"And Baron Laham was rewarded with his own territory after that, and his wife gave birth to him a lovely son and daughter. Everything seems to be developing in a good direction...

"But suddenly one night, Baron Laham brutally killed his wife and children, and massacred all the residents in the territory.

"When the painter arrived, he found only the body of the baron who had been nailed to the wall of the church.

"The way of death is exactly the same as that of the demon he killed. The painter was distraught and took the painting away. Soon after, he became seriously ill. Before he died, he stared at the painting constantly. Muttering, it's a 'blood-stained blessing'."

After finishing speaking, Hongzi sighed, "This painting was taken away by the church and destroyed after that, but unexpectedly it appeared here, and it was renamed "Punishment of Heaven."

"What are you going to do?" Fu Jiang didn't think that Hongzi would be indifferent to seeing things on the magical side that are rare in this era.

"Discuss with the owner of the art gallery to buy it, although I don't think it still has any power left." Hongzi's eyes showed sadness, "After all, in this era, people like us..."

"The old net suppresses the clouds." Fu Jiang snorted softly, interrupting Hong Zi's words, "Ke Xueren, there are so many people in this world."

"Huh?" Hongzi was confused by Fu Jiang's sudden remark.

"You don't need to buy it. I will take this painting away after I leave the job." Fu Jiang twisted his neck, "But I'm not sure if I want to give it to you. I think this painting still has power."

Hongzi looked at Fu Jiang in surprise, "Why do you feel it? You don't really awaken some strange ability, do you?"

Fu Jiang's blood can be traced back to the White Magic family at the end of the [-]th century, but at the beginning of the [-]th century, the inherited magic of this family was officially renamed as Gray Magic.

Because unlike the white magic that benefits people, his family members are friendly gentlemen on the surface, but secretly deal with the devil, feeding on people's fear and soul.

This made their family quickly become street rats that everyone shouted and beaten. At that time, they began to decline and were expelled from their membership, known as "soul suckers".

Vampires, first discovered by the Church in the fifteenth century, were originally thought to be their variants, although there is no evidence that the two are related.

If Fu Jiang really awakened his bloodline, it would not be surprising to feel the power of the demon in the painting, but as the bloodline became thinner, the blood of gray magic had been completely cut off in his grandfather's generation.

"I haven't awakened." Seeing Hongzi's disappointed expression, he silently added in his heart, just got it.

……

At night, after the staff got off work, Fu Jiang did not return directly to his warm little paper house, but went to the locker room.

Time waits for no one, he has to practice fighting, he has no money to sign up for fighting lessons, and he does not plan to fight in public in the park.

Therefore, an art museum in the dead of night is a good choice. Except for the security guard who patrols once in the early morning, there is only the Ochiai curator who visits the place wearing armor.

Humming the melody of the seven children, he opened the inventory and took out the ill-fitting karate suit.

Well, it's not that it doesn't fit very well, it's very bad. Fortunately, the karate uniform is roomy. As long as the front of the skirt is opened, the top can be worn, and the trousers can be regarded as short-leg trousers.

Putting on the karate uniform, Tomie felt his body heat up, and his chest was excited.

Not because this is Xiaolan's original karate suit, but because of the training strengthening effect attached to this suit.

"Hoo, hoo." Wearing a karate uniform, Fu Jiang practiced boxing in the empty darkness.

A few minutes later, his fighting was upgraded to lv2, perhaps because of the strengthening effect of the clothes, or maybe because the previous fight with vodka made him almost level up.

In the rhythm of practicing for half an hour and resting for 15 minutes, the time turned to the early morning, the fighting rose to lv3, and it was time for Fu Jiang to go back.

"Ah—" There was a shrill scream in the distance.

Fu Jiang glanced into the depths of the darkness, then walked over quickly, and two figures in security uniforms and holding flashlights ran over rolling and crawling.

"Ah! It's karate uniforms this time!" When the two security guards saw Fu Jiang, their eyes bulged, and they turned in another direction and ran wildly again.

What karate suit?How rude!

Fu Jiang stared coldly at the backs of the two security guards with cold eyes, and when the two disappeared from sight, a steel armor came out from the darkness.

After seeing the obvious white karate uniform in the dark, the armor paused very obviously, and then continued to move forward after seeing Fu Jiang clearly.

Fu Jiang didn't care, and walked towards the armor, which was in the direction of the bathroom, and he had to wipe his sweaty body briefly before changing clothes.

After all, he only had one set of clothes, and once it smelled of sweat, he changed from a bum who didn't look like a bum to a bum who looked like a bum.

Seeing that Fu Jiang was not timid, the armor raised the sharpened steel sword in his hand and made a chopping gesture.

"Steel sword punishes villains, and silver sword kills demons, that's pretty good." Fu Jiang nodded, "Rest early, and we will be exhibited tomorrow."

The armor froze and twisted his neck to see Fu Jiang's distant figure.

Doesn't he know what to be afraid of?
In the bathroom, Fu Jiang turned on the light and checked carefully to confirm that there was no monitoring. He took off his karate suit and put it in the inventory, and then spent 4 joy points to buy two towels that are said to be very soft and feel good to the touch.

He tore off the Band-Aid under his left eye and washed his face with water.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Fu Jiang hesitated a little, and did not put on the Band-Aid again.

Anyway, no one in this world knows Tomie Kawakami, and some people will complain about themselves?
He dipped the towel in water and wiped his body carefully, especially the armpits and the back of the neck where sweat was prone to occur.

Then he dried his body with a dry towel before he opened the inventory in the cold and put on his own clothes.

After pressing the short top hat that always felt easy to fall off, Tomie left the art museum and walked quickly to the park, and arrived at his cardboard box hut at 1:[-] in the morning.

He bent down and got in, lay on the mattress and pillow he bought for 5 joy points, and covered the quilt worth 4 joy points that couldn't even cover his body.

Lying on the "bed", he carefully clicked the 15818 yen after adding today's salary, and closed his eyes peacefully.

And set a big ambition, he must become a rich man, and then live the peaceful life he wants!
