Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Irene knew that Locke wanted to get something for free again. Since he refused to change her manor before, Irene did not want to respond to this greedy servant.

The black cat raised its head proudly, swept its tail, and ignored it.

Locke could only think of a way by himself. He took off his coat and put it back in the hands of the freckled girl.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I thought about it and decided to go to the Solang Clothing Store next door to customize it."

"Customer, the price of customized clothes will only be more expensive than this one, and it is not as cost-effective as ours."

Freckled girl persuaded.

Locke smiled, "But at least it is unique."

"If you spend money in the store, I can give you a hat for free."

Freckled girl decided to win over this handsome customer.

Locke shook his head, "In fact, I think the value of this windbreaker is far less than 2000 Mik, and I only have 1000 Mik on me. If I go to the next door, I can only pay the deposit."

"Customer, the price of clothes in the store is fixed, there is no room for bargaining, and I am just an ordinary clerk. Please don't embarrass me, okay?"

"I don't want to embarrass you, beautiful lady, goodbye."

"Wait, customer, do you accept defective products?"

The freckled girl pointed at the windbreaker selected by Locke and pulled out the spare button on the windbreaker. "The one you picked is actually a defective product, and it only costs 1000 Mik."

Stores in the Wells area pay great attention to word of mouth. Once they are known as defective products, the prices of clothes and other decorations will be greatly discounted.

Locke's eyes lit up and he looked at the plain-looking freckled girl again.

She can definitely become the best-selling product on this street.

"You have a bright future."

The freckled girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and responded, "You, the guest, also have a bright future."

So, Locke, who was sympathetic to each other, chose a lady's coat and a lady's long skirt in their store, and after getting the same discount, he spent a total of 1,800 grams.

As for those top hats, canes, and pocket watches, Locke felt that there was no need to spend money to buy them. Anyway, he was not a gentleman.

When he changed into new clothes and walked on the street again, the crowd still looked at him, but they were no longer full of malice.

"What a handsome boy."

"I really want to invite him to the dance and trick him into bed."

"Mrs. Ange, isn't Hughes from the Rose Theater enough to satisfy you?"

"Don't mention it. He is a guy who can be solved in five seconds. I get angry when I mention him. I will never patronize his drama again."

In Locke's ears, the voices of many ladies and wives rang. Because of his good hearing, he was always forced to accept some secrets.

[Acuity of hearing +1]

[Acuity of hearing: 108/1000]

Irene noticed that the orange lady's coat should be for Hannah, but the white long skirt was obviously not Hannah's size.

"Don't think you can bribe me with a cheap skirt."

Irene's tail swayed, and she was obviously in a good mood.

Locke smiled and said,

"How can this be considered a bribe? This is the responsibility of the shit shoveler."

"Shit shoveler?"

Irene looked at Locke in confusion.

"Another name for humble servants."

"Oh."

Irene nodded slightly and remembered this strange term.

Then, Locke walked into a photography equipment rental store. Cameras and video cameras in this era were luxury goods, and they were large luxury goods. Few people could pay the full price to buy them, which made the rental business flourish.

Locke used the new clothes he bought for Hannah and Irene as collateral, and paid 100 grams of rent, and successfully rented a portable camera.

Although it is portable, it is not small in size and needs to be carried in a wooden box. When using it, open one side of the wooden box to expose the lens.

This camera will emit a dazzling flash effect when taking pictures, which requires the help of Miss Witch.

"You want to secretly take pictures of him and his mistress having an affair?"

Irene narrowed her cat eyes. She didn't expect Locke to have this hobby.

"Yes, because the person who can defeat him the most is definitely not his mistress, but his wife."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because Lloyd became the editor-in-chief with the help of his wife, and his wife, Mrs. Wendell, has a very rich family."

This news was told to me by the lively and cheerful Wena back then. I didn't expect that it would be used to avenge her now.

Locke couldn't help but sigh,

"Of course, we can also use this photo to threaten his mistress to tell his secret first, and then find his wife. This is the bargaining chip."

"Humble shit shoveler, your meanness really amazes me."

Irene learned and used it immediately, and immediately changed the servant to the shit shoveler, thinking it was very fresh.

Locke's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that Irene was praising his intelligence.

The man and the cat walked through the Wells District for half an hour and came to Sycamore Street.

This block is planted with many sycamore trees, which looks a bit bleak in the cold wind of winter, but it will be very beautiful in spring and autumn, especially in autumn, when the golden sycamore leaves will turn it into a golden avenue.

This street is basically a residential area, occupied by townhouses and high-end apartments.

People living in this block are basically middle-class people in Kosork. They have money to enjoy life, but lack time to enjoy life, so they can only choose to make their lives better.

Woolf's luxury apartment is located in the Sycamore District near the banks of the Kosor River. It offers a great view and the rent is very expensive.

There are uniformed security guards at the door, and non-residents are not allowed to enter.

As the freckled girl said, they are very snobbish and are talking about a poor guy living in the apartment with an annual salary of less than 10 gold mills.

When Locke approached, the two security guards immediately stopped talking and looked at him seriously.

"Hello, I am Mr. Lloyd's friend. He asked me to deliver the cat he bought for Miss Shirley."

Locke smiled and pointed to the black cat on his shoulder. He was holding a large wooden box in his hand. The security guards had seen this kind of wooden box before. It was the shell of a camera, which made the two security guards ignore that Locke did not have decent decorations such as a top hat, a cane, and a pocket watch.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lloyd's friend. Come in."

When the two security guards heard Lloyd's name, they smiled and politely opened the iron gate.

"Oh, goddess, look at my memory. Lloyd told me whether Miss Shiriya lived in Room 2 on the third floor or Room 3 on the second floor, but I forgot it as soon as I turned around."

Locke said as he took out a 10-gram tip and stuffed it into the hands of the older security guard.

The older security guard smiled and patted Locke on the shoulder, "You are really forgetful. Miss Shiriya lives in Room 2 on the top floor."

"Thank you."

Locke thanked the older security guard with a smile, walked through the flowerbed, and came to the front of the apartment building.

"I smell the same kind of breath."

Irene suddenly said.

Locke remembered that the last time Irene said this was when she went to the alchemy factory, and then she almost became a suspect.

So this time, when he heard Irene say this, Locke immediately became alert.

Luckily, he still has the ability to use [Life Control] twice, which can save his life when he encounters danger that Irene can't solve.

Could it be because of his [Witch Affinity] attribute that he always encounters witches?

Locke was thinking a lot as he stepped onto this apartment building, which was only 6 stories high, just like the Rhine Apartment.

In the Tumen Kingdom, 6 stories are already high-rise buildings. Even the main hall of the Cathedral of Life is only 18 meters high, and because it is located on a very high ground, it feels like it is towering into the sky.

Most villas, manors and civilian houses are one to two stories, or three stories high.

The fact that they can be built to more than five stories is entirely due to the progress of alchemy.

Locke went all the way to the top floor, where Miss Shirleya lived...

Chapter 46, Shirleya is a witch?

Using his keen hearing, Locke discovered that there was no one in the house.

He turned his head and looked at the black cat Irene who was sitting elegantly on his shoulder.

Irene, who was in a good mood, waved her cat's paw and opened the door easily.

This is a luxurious apartment with valuable decorative paintings on the wall, thick plush carpets on the floor, exquisite fruit plates on the table, and charcoal burning in the fireplace, resulting in a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house.

The moment Locke entered the room, he felt like taking off his clothes.

He resisted the urge to take off his coat, wandered around the room, and chose to hide in Ms. Xue Liya's luxurious closet.

Because the closet was facing the bed, the gap was just right for taking pictures of the charming scene.

Of course, this must be done with Irene's help, so as not to let the annoying flashing light appear, otherwise he would be caught on the spot.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?"

Noticing Irene's strange expression, Locke asked.

"There is a kind of physique in this world that attracts witches very much, just like a witch magnet. I used to be like this. No matter where I go, I will unexpectedly meet the same kind, but since I believe in that person, I no longer have this ability."

Uh, do you mean [Witch Affinity]?

Locke felt a little guilty for some reason.

Wait, Miss Irene, why did you suddenly say this?

Locke was slightly stunned.

"Xiao Ai, is Shirley a witch?"

Erin nodded slightly.

"From the smell of this room, it can be judged that she is most likely a witch. Congratulations, you have met the witch lady you have been thinking about again."

Locke heard a strong sense of ridicule in this sentence.

During this period of time, Erin has heard various neighbors talking about Locke's deeds of looking for witches.

Locke is deeply distressed about this. He used to be young and ignorant, so he didn't know the danger of witches, so he looked for witches everywhere; now he just wants to take good care of the one around him, but he always encounters other witches inexplicably.

And they are not good people.

The red crystal necklace on his neck is the best proof.

"Let's go."

Locke doesn't want to provoke new witches. Even if he doesn't start with Shirley's clue, he can continue to investigate Lloyd.

But Irene didn't think so.

"Since you're here, why should you leave? Even if you leave this room now, she will still find you by smell. The witch's sense of smell is quite sharp."

"Aren't you very weak?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Locke's eyes.

"Yes, I'm very weak, so I need to replenish my strength."

Irene glanced at Locke.

So you think you can easily deal with this witch even when you are weak?

Locke looked at Irene suspiciously.

"Stupid shit shoveler, if you dare to doubt my ability again, I will let you sweep the public bathroom 200 times."

Erin's eyes narrowed into a line, threatening.

She would not leave. The reason why she let Locke always wear the necklace tainted with the witch's aura was to attract this witch. Unfortunately, before this witch took the initiative to find her, she and Locke happened to walk into the apartment where this witch lived.
