Remember [New] for a second,! On the first day of the firm's listing, although there was no business, the firm's reputation spread around Binhu Street all of a sudden, all thanks to Mrs. Margaret, Xia's good neighbor.
After knowing that Xia Ping'an would be divination, Mrs. Margaret talked about it when she went to the market in the morning to buy things, when she went to the tailor shop to try on clothes, and when she went to a friend's house for afternoon tea in the afternoon. The housewives of , as well as Mrs. Margaret's circle of friends, basically know about it.
However, everyone still had great doubts about Xia Ping'an's divination ability, and everyone was still watching, especially when they learned about Xia Ping'an's age and the cost of his divination from Mrs. Margaret. People's reactions are wide-eyed, and then there are all kinds of unfriendly speculations.
"Is that Xia Ping'an crazy, or is he a liar!"
"Who knows, maybe that young man is really capable, but it's the first time I've seen such a young fortune-teller. I don't know which of you want to try, Maura, you haven't always wanted someone to do fortune-telling for you. Come on!" Mrs. Margaret, who was drinking afternoon tea, said to another woman beside her in a lady's tone.
"Forget it, compared to these fortune-tellers who have just debuted, I believe in masters like Ansofir. I have joined Master Ansofir's mind club, and I will wait for Master Ansovere to come to Kelan next time. De, I can personally find Master Ansofir for divination, and this Xia Ping'an's fee doesn't look like a newcomer at all, isn't it true that the older the fortunetellers are, the more experienced they are in this industry?"
"Margaret, what does that young fortune teller look like?" In the tea room, another tall, plump and beautiful woman opened her mouth with interest. She glanced at Maura, her eyebrows provocative. Provoked, a smile appeared on his **** lips, "I'm the opposite of Maura, as long as it's a young man, I'm interested, a young fortune-teller, I like it better, I don't have such a friend by my side, if he has Ability, I can consider making him my personal fortune teller..."
The woman who spoke was Caitlin, a beautiful woman in a low-cut dress with a corset and a dazzling diamond necklace around her neck. She had three husbands, a businessman, a banker, and a She was the mine owner, but it was a coincidence that her three husbands all died early after marrying her, and they did not have children with her, so she inherited several of her husbands when she was not even in her thirties. She became the richest and most beautiful widow in Kelander, and she was often at the core of such afternoon tea gatherings.
Mrs. Margaret covered her mouth with a fan and smiled, "Well, that Xia Ping'an is a vigorous young man, he should be less than twenty years old, with very good physical exercise, a tall and straight body, black eyes and black hair like the night sky. The same deep and charming, I feel that he is very different from the average young man, at first glance he may not be a handsome man, but if you look at it again, you can feel that he should be an attractive gentleman!"
"Listening to you, I can't help but want to see him..." Caitlin laughed and took a sip of tea.
"Caitlin, you really should find a husband to get married. The manager of the business last time was actually very good..." A woman next to her said.
Caitlin sighed and shook her head, "I don't think so, being a rich and beautiful widow is much more interesting than being a man's wife, if I get married, I can only have one husband, and now I can change it at any time. Boyfriend, and all of Colander know I'm a black widow, I know what my reputation is like, those men who dare to risk marrying me, I'm afraid it's not me, but my wealth, rather than marrying me. Those people are intriguing, it is better for me to be free by myself..."
Xia Ping'an's divination cost this time, he set the standard, the cost of a divination to interpret a dream is 100 thalers.
100 thalers, this fee may not be a big deal for the rich, but for the ordinary working class, it is a lot of money, just like when Xia Pingan worked as a hotel security guard, he earned it a year. The money is more than 100 talers.
This price is absolutely unacceptable to ordinary people.
Of course, Xia Ping'an was not prepared to earn the living expenses of ordinary people. The reason why he opened the office was to make money to buy Jiezhu to obtain cultivation resources, so the initial positioning of this office was high-end, serving local tyrants. Xia Ping'an also knew that such a firm would not do well in the beginning, but once it became famous and had regular customers and word of mouth, it would be easy to make money.
I just hope that this time, the office will not be forced to close its doors before it is open for business like the previous Zhou Gonglou.
Although the firm has been listed, Xia Ping'an has always been a little apprehensive and worried, because he doesn't know whether the order of the master devil's pursuit of him is still valid in the realm of the gods, and whether there are still a group of terrifying summoners looking for him all over the world. , and his current name is still Xia Ping'an. I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, but it's too conspicuous.
If the order to kill him still exists, then the danger will come at no time. Therefore, in any case, there is only one way in front of Xia Ping'an. We must try our best to obtain the world at all costs. Beads improve their strength, and only strength is the basis for their survival.
On the day the firm was listed, Xia Ping'an went to get a haircut, then went to a well-known tailor shop to order a few sets of expensive clothes for himself, and went to a hat shop to order top hats and leather shoes. Leek, don't let those local tyrants feel cheap in terms of clothing and appearance, and the things you wear on your body can't be cheaper than 100 thalers.
Early in the morning on the second day after the opening of the office, the weather was fine today. Xia Ping'an walked out of No. 169 Binhu Street in neat clothes and went out. I took out the Daily Brandy from inside, and then went out on the road, called a taxi, and got in the car.
Today is the day Mr. Coin will meet, and he will also usher in his first task of becoming a night watchman. Xia Ping'an attaches great importance to this task. Only after the night watchman has done it can he talk to Mr. Coin about his treatment.
"Looks like I need to get a servant as soon as possible, whether I pay to hire or use my divine power to summon, otherwise it won't work if there is no one guarding the office. By the way, I should buy another carriage to travel more conveniently. One divination charges 100 yuan. Taler's fortune teller, traveling without a private carriage makes people feel like a liar, if you want a carriage, you have to hire or call a coachman, oh, it's really nerve-racking..." Xia Ping An who was sitting in the taxi rubbed his own Temple, looking at the street scene outside the carriage window, it feels like everything is mixed up, and now it's really all over again.
Just less than twenty minutes after Xia Ping'an left No. 169 Binhu Street, a gorgeous white carriage pulled by two white horses stopped in front of No. 169.
The driver of the car was not tall, but he was as strong as a bear, with a bushy beard and a faint scar on his left cheek. The driver stopped the car, went up the steps, and came to the door, only to notice that it was hanging on the door. The sign in front of "I have something to go out", and then the driver came to the carriage of the carriage and knocked on the door, "Madam, there is no one in this office, and there is a sign on the door that says I have something to go out..."
The curtains of the car window were opened a little, revealing Mrs. Catelyn's well-groomed face. Mrs. Catelyn glanced at the door with a hint of disappointment, "Forget it, let's go to dominate the temple... "
"Yes, ma'am!"
The coachman got into the carriage again, flicked the reins, and the white carriage headed towards the Temple of Domination.
More than 40 minutes later, Xia Ping'an's taxi stopped, and the driver opened the door for Xia Ping'an. After paying the fare, Xia Ping'an looked at the oldest and most magnificent building in front of Koland - Dominate the temple.
In front of the temple is a square. From the square to entering the temple, there are ninety-nine steps. Above the steps, a row of giant columns set off a magnificent building full of history.
At the highest point of the main entrance of the building, there is also a relief sculpture of a six-winged Peng Wang standing with huge wings, overlooking all those who enter the temple.
Seeing the statue of the six-winged Peng Wang, Xia Ping'an couldn't help but feel a special feeling in his heart.
The Gods of the Heavens is a world that allows multiple beliefs to exist. Take the Redron Republic as an example. In this country, there are various large and small temples, but in this world, all the temples and Among the beliefs, the **** of the temple is definitely the most important belief in the ruling position.
There are many people entering and leaving the temple, and many of them are very old and dusty. It looks like they have come from a long way. For many devout believers, they start to worship the ground outside the temple, and then pray all the way from the steps. Enter the temple.
Xia Ping'an followed the worshiping crowd up the 99 steps, and finally walked into the huge temple.
In the temple, there is a tall statue of the Lord of the Gods. The most impressive thing is that in one hand of the statue of the Lord of Gods, there is a small tree. The tree symbolizes the causal laws of the entire universe, starry sky and all things, all of which are within the grasp of the supreme master.
There were incense candles at the entrance of the temple. Xia Ping'an followed the other devout believers and lit incense. After offering the incense, he walked inside.
Xia Ping'an did not go to the worship, but walked towards a row of confession rooms in the temple. There were more than 30 confession rooms, and many people outside were waiting to enter and repent. Xia Ping arranged a team and waited. More than ten minutes later, the door of the confession room in front of him opened, and an old woman who was confessing inside walked out with red eyes. Xia Pingan then entered the confession room and closed the door of the confession room.
The area of the confession room is less than one square meter. There is a stool inside, which is just enough for people to sit down. It is like a small dark room. This room has a special structure and has the breath of divine power and formation, which isolates the inside and the outside. All the voices and detections of the man, as soon as you enter the confession room, you feel that everything around you is quiet, as if you are in the dark wilderness of no one, you can suddenly calm down and open your heart.
There is only a palm-sized small window with a screen in the confessional room, allowing people to hear the words of the priests in the temple on the other side of the confessional room. This is where absolute privacy is.
Xia Ping'an entered the confession room and sat down for a few seconds when he felt that on the other side of the confession room, a person also came in. He seemed to be wearing a priest's robe, sitting opposite the small window, but he couldn't see his face.
"Ajuro, are you here?" A gentle and familiar voice finally came from across the small window.
It's Mr. Coin! Xia Ping'an took a deep breath. This Mr. Coin is really powerful, and he can come and go freely in the Temple of Domination. I don't know if he has a specific position here or he can just use the facilities here.
"Yes, I'm here, what's your mission?" Xia Ping'an said calmly, he didn't ask Mr. Coin's identity, because it was unnecessary and unethical.
"You know Sigurds Canell?" Mr. Coin asked suddenly.
"I don't know, who is this person?" Xia Ping said without changing his face. He didn't know whether the question was a test or what Mr. Coin knew.
"This person is a killer. According to the information we just got, on your way to Andesburg, this person was hired to kill you..." Mr. Coin's voice still did not waver.
"Oh~www.mtlnovel.com~ So that person is Sigurds Canel!" Xia Pingan showed a relieved expression, "I was assassinated once on the train to Andesburg, but the killer was killed by me! "
"Haha..." Mr. Coin smiled over there, "Where's the killer's corpse?"
"It was in the train compartment at that time, and the corpse was difficult to handle, which would cause unnecessary trouble. On the way, I threw the corpse into the deep valley outside the carriage!" Xia Ping'an was telling the truth, so he was extraordinarily calm. .
"Yes, it seems that the Night's Watch is not wrong, you can kill a seasoned killer like Siggs Carnell before entering the Andes for training, you are really good!"
"Can you tell me how the Bureau of Investigation knew this information? I'm investigating this matter these days, trying to find the mastermind behind the scenes. According to the killer's explanation before he died, someone hired him to assassinate me!"
"Who do you think would want to hire a killer to assassinate you?" Coin asked rhetorically.
"Among the people I have offended, there is only one person who has such strength. That person is Franco Petrarch, a rich guest whom I offended when I was a security guard in a hotel. The process may also be related to this person..." Xia Pingan said.
