Dark Contractor

Haven't seen you for about three years?I'm fine, I'm still working as an exorcist. "Even Alexis, who was usually arrogant, answered cautiously when facing someone she respected.

"Fine, fine." Richards hugged Alexis's back and patted Alexis hard several times.Then he pulled away and asked Alexis to sit in the guest chair and himself in the chair in front of the mirror.

"But you haven't changed at all."

"No, it hasn't changed at all."

Hearing Alexis' answer, the old man laughed loudly. "Come on, Alec. I hate hearing you say that. My hair is getting grayer, and my eyes are getting worse. I can't even see the faces in the audience."

"It's less stressful this way, isn't it good?"

"Not at all. I wasn't nervous even when playing in front of Her Majesty the Queen."

Richards closed one eye. "So, when you're working hard as an exorcist, you're still waving a cross and a Bible?"

"I wanted to tell you before that you have misunderstood the work of an exorcist. Although some poor believers are rough because of the possessed demon, I try my best to avoid violence." However, this is only superficial. In fact, when he part-timed to slay demons, it was usually by force.

"Well... this will take a long time, right? If there is an evil spirit possessing me, you don't have to worry too much, just do it. Anyway, you have a long-standing hatred for me."

"I will not accept commissions from acquaintances."

"From what you've said, it seems so."

Alexis added the "because I'll show mercy" joke because of Richards' worried voice.

"How's your tour going?"

"No matter how old you are, traveling is always great. I have traveled all over the place. But this is the last time to drag my old body like this. Because I have decided to retire."

"It's a pity. Your performance is really good."

"My talent was given by God, and the time to return it to God is coming soon."

Richards is a devout Christian who believes his talents are a gift from God and will one day be returned to God.God's things should be returned to God, and I should die as an unknown human being. "Next, I plan to return to my hometown of York and live a peaceful life. If I have any regrets, it should be that I didn't teach a single apprentice."

"That's also impossible."

It is indeed a pity that Richards does not have anyone who can inherit his skills, but geniuses do not appear so easily.One will just have to wait until someone who matches Richards' talent emerges.

"Alec, if you continue to study the violin, the comment about possessing demonic skills should be yours." Mentioning the past, Alexis shrugged jokingly.

"That's right. Maybe people will say I'm the reincarnation of Paganini."

"Of course. Ah! It's not too late to start now."

"Now?" Alexis reprimanded at Richards' joke.

"That's right. Let's start the class again tonight, and use beautiful music to suppress the hearts of demons. What do you think? I think demons understand music too."

"I'm more suited to be an exorcist. If you want to put the devil to sleep, don't use music, it's better to pray."

"Don't you like lullabies?"

"Pray I'm better at it."

When talking about the devil, Alexis remembered what she had been thinking about just now. "By the way, I passed by a man I have never met just now, is that your friend?"

"Someone I haven't seen before? What kind of person is it?" Only a small number of relevant people were able to enter the backstage, but Richards added this sentence. Facing his suspicious look, Alexis was surprised , still opened his mouth.

"Silver-haired, with a deep profile...he is a good-looking man. He looks like a nobleman somewhere."

"Oh, you're talking about Youberu." Richards, who was not afraid of life, seemed not to be wary of him, just listen to his tone.

"Uberu...are you French?"

"It's like that. His name is Ubelu-du-Weiler. He used to be a French aristocrat. It seems to be a very famous family before the revolution. He is a branch of the family." Perhaps because of his striking appearance, Richards immediately Think of the man's name.But that's a fake name anyway.

"I see. You seem to be quite different in age. Is he your friend?"

"No, he's been to my concerts many times. It doesn't matter if he's in France or Vienna. He's still young, and he's very knowledgeable about music and art. He's a very nice guy."

"And came to London to show that he is your ardent follower?"

"It's my honor. If you don't mind, would you like to introduce me? It's rare that you're interested in someone else."

No matter how bold Chaz seems to be, it's impossible to date him knowing he's a demon.That's true, if the other party is a human being, it's impossible for me to be so interested.As a result, Alexis was always attracted to the race of demons.

"He seems to be staying in London for the time being, and I made an appointment to have dinner with him. Would you like to come together?"

"No, I appreciate your kindness. I have the principle of not adding too many friends."

"...You're right when you say that." Richards nodded vigorously.

Even though he knew such a skilled violinist, You Lu still asked: "Why are human beings so obsessed with their own lives?"

Just like humans eat bread, they also consume human life.There was neither regret nor hesitation.Alexis has nothing but the arrogance of spurning demons.They should be bothered if there were no humans, but to the demons, human life is nothing more than food that can be consumed at will.

Maybe Alexis could forgive them if they could feel a tinge of remorse.

"It's like a dream to be able to eat with you like this."

"Yeah... I'm old too." The old man said in a calm tone, contrary to his previous attitude.

"Everyone gets old no matter who they are."

"Yeah...but no matter what happens, I will always be your friend. That won't change, you have to remember."

"I'm so happy. During my stay in London, maybe there will be some inconvenient things? If possible, please let me help you. If you need someone, I can also borrow you."

"That's right, I have something to trouble you."

As Richards spoke immediately, Alexis smiled slightly.

"Did you already know I would say that?"

"Of course. Although you have such virtues, you are very kind. Regarding this, I must thank the monastery that guided you."

"Don't worry about thanking the monastery, what's your business?"

Although Lucius was most afraid of staying in the hall in a proper manner, it would be a different matter if it was the usual Richards.He will definitely get close to the old man, and if there is an emergency, he can also ask Lucius to help.

"I would like to ask you to help me buy medicine. It is a family medicine store, which is opened in a somewhat remote place."

"Okay. It's an easy little thing."

During his stay in London, Richards had to visit sponsors everywhere, and now that he is retiring, he should be even busier.Even going to the pharmacy is troublesome.

"But how do you know about Chinese medicine?"

"It was introduced by the Marquis Anderson. I heard it is very effective for my migraine. It would be best if you can send it to me when I get back to York, so you can help me remember where the store is."

"It's my pleasure."

It turned out that when Richards returned to his hometown of Yorkshire, it became Alexis's job to get the medicine.

"I'll give you the map later, let's have a drink first, how about going to the bar? Would you like to reconnect with the few friends you have?"

No matter what form it takes, it always makes people feel happy to be able to help old friends.

Alexis nodded, definitely feeling a sense of foreboding.

He thought that this vampire named Yumulu should not attack a haggard boss like Richards.But showing up before Alexis' friends might be a sign of something.

It is necessary to hear the results of Lucius's investigation first, Alexis tightened his face.

Every Friday evening, Jeremy was restless.

Although the closing time of the pharmacy was six o'clock, it was just after five o'clock, and he began to peek at the clock, unable to calm down.

Because the floor of the pharmacy is very old, every time he moves his body a little, the floor will creak, which is heard repeatedly in Yuesheng's ears.

The reason was a teenage girl with curly brown hair named Martha who worked at a fish and chip vendor on the corner of the alley.No matter what Jeremy said it was "the best fish and chips in London", it was unbearable to eat it for lunch for a whole month before confessing to her.Every day, the pharmacy is filled with the unbearable smell of fried white fish and potatoes. Regarding the fact that Jeremy and Martha finally got along smoothly, Yue Sheng thinks he should be more pleased than Jeremy.

Only on this day, Martha's employer specifically allowed her to leave work early, and then made an appointment with Jeremy to go on a date.

Yue Sheng wouldn't be so unreasonable, insisting on bothering them.Even if he didn't show it, Yuesheng still loves Jeremy who is many years younger than him
