155 Chapter 74:Confused

Hearing the danger part Xio narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the man in front of her causing Adryan to chuckle softly.

"Don't worry miss as long as you and your men are careful you'll be fine, I would never give you a job you can't handle."

Although Xio had the beginning of confidence in the man in front of her, she would not endanger her men by entering unknown territory.

"What kind of dangers?"

"Nothing that can't be controlled, the 4 policemen are normal people but you should avoid attracting too much attention in the East Borough."

"You know things are tense there" Adryan informed calmly and Xio nodded.

"I'll keep it in mind, you'll be informed of any progress every 3 to 6 days" Xio said seriously.

Adryan said nothing, he just nodded accepting the time said by the woman, at the same time he put his hand in his pocket and took out his wallet and in front of Xio he opened it and counting 15 pounds he extended it to her.

'How much money does this guy have? There was at least 200 pounds there' Xio thought a little enviously as she saw the money inside the wallet.

She didn't ask the reason for this because it wasn't necessary and just took the money and put it away.

In the bounty hunting field, it is almost an obligation to make an initial payment for the expenses that a bounty hunter has to make during the duration of the job.

Whether informants, food, ammunition,etc.

She was used to this by now so she simply accepted the money and then looked at the man.

"Have a good night Mr. Holmes"

"You too miss"

With the simple farewell Xio left the alley the same way she arrived while Adryan stayed where he was looking at the dark sky of Backlund.

He put his hand in a pocket of his jacket and took out Hangover Time, opening the watch and seeing that it marked VIII, he just nodded, closing the watch and left the alley.

...

.....

In the house that the aforementioned Adryan came out of the shadows of the room while taking off his mask.

'Now all I have to do is wait', the redhead thought with a sigh. He pulled out a metal bottle from his jacket and took a long sip.

"Today has been a complicated day..." the redhead whispered into the air, who sat on the sofa while he took off his boots with his feet and then put them on the table.

Raising a gloved hand to his face, the redhead scratched his forehead as he looked up at the ceiling of his living room.

'I joined the Tarot Club, it turns out that there is more to Adryan than I thought, I finally learned how to use Spiritual Vision which includes the weak point and finally the revelation of the policemen...'

"I hate Mondays..." Adryan spoke to the air, he was mentally exhausted.

Getting up from the sofa he grabbed his boots and headed to the bathroom....

...

Appearing in the City of Calamities and looking around, Adryan over-scanned the entire city.

The buildings remained the same, the soldiers were patrolling as always and when they detected that he had arrived they gave a military salute and then continued with their business.

"There are no changes, the soldiers look normal, my connection remains the same..."

After analyzing the city and its population, he lowered his gaze to his body.

His body was normal, he had entered without a shirt and he could see his muscular torso, his skin looked healthy, there were no traces of the cracks that he had seen in the Tarot Club.

"Apparently my soul is normal here? That doesn't make sense, if the principle that my soul is the same that enters here and Sefira Castle then what is the difference that makes it look so damaged?"

"Besides where is the black robe?"

He did not have it on when he entered, he remembers that even if he had it on he would not feel it, that is why he looked at his whole body but the strange robe was nowhere to be found.

"Is it banned from entering the city? Does this robe consider the City of Calamities a No No place?" Adryan whispered doubtfully before an idea struck him.

"My soul is normal while I'm in here so the robe doesn't find it necessary to go in to keep it together?" The redhead said in astonishment before a shiver went up his spine just as another possible fact came to his mind.

"Wouldn't determining that whiting the City of Calamities is safe and whiting the Sefira Castle is not make that robe a sentient being?"

When he threw that question into the air, he knew that no one would answer his question, only after doing that he couldn't help but laugh ironically.

"I have a fairy on my shoulder or in this case a mute fairy uniting my soul"

"If it is seriously aware, up to now it has not done me any harm but has 'protected' me against the divinations of the churches..."

As long as it didn't harm him or prove to be a danger to him, Adryan was willing to tolerate it, after all until now the robe had proven to be a kind of silent helper.

When he thought that, an idea came to his mind and he couldn't help but laugh out loud at it.

"If Klein has the mirror Arrodes, then I have this black robe..." When saying the last thing, the redhead frowned while putting a hand to his chin.

"As long as it keeps helping me maybe it's not a bad idea to name it,after all 'black robe' is not a good name..."

"But what kind of name would a robe like?"
