Extraordinary Puppet Master
Chapter 46 Doubt
After watching the writing on the paper disappear line by line, Karin waited for a while, waited for the writing to dry completely, and then wrote another line with ordinary ink on the back of the white paper.
'Use Potion No. 2 for reading'
After thinking about it carefully, I folded the white paper and put it in the envelope when I thought it was OK.
Regarding Holden Ace, Carlin had a problem with whatever he thought.
I didn't feel it at first, but after carefully recalling what happened the night before because of the sudden bad feeling, I found a clue from some inconspicuous details.
That night, the time when Elena was accidentally teleported to the secret room was around 11 p.m.
And at this time, what is the purpose of a second young master from a noble family suddenly riding a carriage to Vanilla Street, which he would never come to at ordinary times?
Just like Carlin's hometown of Victorian Brittania, classes are solidified and the gap between rich and poor is extreme.
The aristocratic gentlemen do not need to work hard, they only need to lie down and enjoy life. The real estate and various stock dividends in their names are enough to allow them to live a comfortable life.
There are only two things left that can make them work a little harder: maintaining their status and practicing extraordinary things.
They are full of contempt and disdain for all those who have sharpened their heads and climbed up.
Even those wealthy capitalists will immediately transform after becoming famous, purchase a large amount of real estate, carry out charity activities and find ways to marry into nobles, and despise all behaviors of hard work and advancement.
All kinds of behaviors are aimed at joining the ‘real upper class society’.
They often spend a lot of money to clear the way, just to obtain an honorary title.
Although this kind of behavior will also be despised by the established nobles, the person involved is happy with it because if it succeeds, they will also become a noble.
The aristocratic young man Holden Ace suddenly appeared in a middle-class neighborhood like Vanilla Street that night. It was a strange news no matter how you looked at it.
Even if he was just passing by, passing by in the middle of the night was very suspicious.
In addition, after Ace learned that Elena was in danger, he simply used a Curiosity doll to explore the clinic, and he did not hesitate to put himself in danger and trigger the barrier directly.
Karin would not believe the superficial reason that the other party was carried away by love.
This possibility exists, but the probability is very low.
Ace's pursuit of Elena is nothing more than to obtain capital.
If he really succeeds, he will be able to get some help from the Ranger Association and even the Eskali Islands, which will greatly improve his status in the family, and it is not impossible to even compete for the next generation of family heads.
Although all the signs are just Carlin's subjective assumptions, he completely trusts the virtual kingdom of God, and the inexplicable evil feeling in his heart is by no means unfounded.
So Carlin mentioned a little bit in the letter that Holden approached him proactively, but didn't say much.
I believe that Drake will have some ideas after reading it, and will provide him with some information about Holden in his next reply.
After collecting the envelope, Carlin returned to the foyer and sat on the bench to wait. He used this free time to start practicing with the Curiosity Doll.
About an hour later, the doorbell rang in the apartment.
Carlin put away the doll and opened the door. He saw three horse-drawn trucks parked on the street outside, and nine workers dressed as dock workers resting on the trucks.
The first middle-aged man asked respectfully: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Hawkins?"
"It's me, please, please move these things to St. Wayne College. How much does it cost in total?"
Carlin stated his request directly.
"No, no, no, you are too polite. I am Rooney, their leader. Someone has already paid your wages. If you need anything, just call us!"
Foreman Rooney was a little uncomfortable with Carlin's polite attitude and said quickly.
Carlin glanced at him, but his rude appearance was mixed with the caution typical of a low-level person, and he seemed submissive when facing him.
So he waved to Rooney: "You go in first, I have another job here, and the wages will never disappoint you."
After Rooney heard this, the joy on his face flashed away, and he followed Carlin into the house cautiously.
Carlin looked at him a few more times, took out the envelope and handed it to Rooney: "Give this letter to Wilson, the bartender at the Blood Red House."
After Rooney took the envelope, he suddenly found a one-pound note stuck on the surface of the envelope and was immediately ecstatic.
"Sir, you are so generous. I am more than happy to serve you."
They dock workers might not earn even a pound after working for a week or two. Now, earning a pound just for running errands and delivering letters is like pie in the sky.
Carlin said calmly: "The person who introduced you said that you have a tight tongue. I hope this is true.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if it's not true. You should know who the boss of Blood Red House is. If this matter is accidentally revealed from other people's mouths, you should know the consequences. "
A trace of fear flashed across Rooney's face after hearing this, and he quickly swore that he would never speak nonsense.
‘Sure enough, I shouldn’t have any luck. These gentlemen seem to be very generous. The tasks are easy and the rewards are high, but they are also dangerous. ’
But he had no intention of backing down from this. How could he give up a job where he could earn a pound just by sending a letter?
Karin nodded, then pointed to a few boxes in the foyer and said, "Okay, let's get down to business.
The items in these boxes are very delicate and are worth more than five thousand pounds in total. Please be careful when moving them.
As for other furniture, kitchen utensils and the like, it doesn't matter if they get bumped or bumped, but the things in these boxes must not be damaged at all!
If you think this job is too demanding and you are not satisfied with the price, you can raise it and I will pay more.
But if after negotiating the price, I am not satisfied with the work results."
At the end of the talk, Rooney somehow shuddered unconsciously when facing Carlin's gaze.
He felt that Carlin in front of him was like some of the desperadoes he had seen in the lower city, and his body was filled with the strong smell of blood.
‘This guy must have killed someone, and more than one! ’
Suddenly Rooney's eyes became cautious as he looked at the boxes.
Carlin did not exaggerate the value of the box, and even said it was much less.
Apart from those extraordinary materials and notebooks, the most valuable thing is Westmin's set of alchemy tools.
Fragile items such as crucibles, alcohol lamps, beakers, and test tubes are inherently valuable, and some of them are not ordinary mortal items, but extraordinary items.
If you hit this casually, the loss will be gold pounds!
At this time, Rooney quickly said that the wages for this trip were very fair and there was no need to pay more.
After Carlin finished detailing his requirements, Rooney called other workers to start working.
While working, Carlin saw the dock worker showing off his capable side.
He led other workers to move several boxes onto the carriage skillfully and carefully.
Carlin was very satisfied with this. The dock workers hired by One Ear were quite reliable.
