Chapter 1064 Increase efforts
Damn, your speed... Isn't the carriage going to be fully accelerated until next month?
Leon pulled his eyes away from the newspaper full of gossip and looked at the familiar apartment outside the car window. He was surprised that the speed of the car was wrong and asked with a bit of toothache:
"We're already there? You're running more than twice as fast as the public carriage. You're speeding too much!"
"Hey~ I didn't get caught!"
After receiving the fare from Leon, the coachman said with a smile:
"As long as the traffic police can catch up with me, I don't care what fine they give me. Just leave the horse to me, even if the car is confiscated... By the way, you are in very good health, my friend. I didn't hear any movement for a long time, and I thought you hit your head in the car and fainted."
"..."
Damn, are you sure you are driving a horse-drawn carriage and not something else?
After looking at the coachman who was smiling "rampantly" across from him, Leon silently reached back and touched the carriage, reached out to pick at the obstructed license plate, and then touched the coachman's palm full of cracks and calluses.
"guest?"
After pulling his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, the smile on the face of the coachman, who was about 40 years old, froze, and he asked in confusion:
“You…you are…”
"I don't mean anything else. I just think it's a waste for you to be a coachman, so I'm going to introduce you to a new job... Of course, it's up to you whether you do it or not."
Pulling the screaming bald coachman, he pushed him back to the driver's seat, patted the horse's butt, nodded with satisfaction, then took out his own notebook, wrote a note and handed it over, then said softly:
"Mr. Johnson, right? When you are free, remember to report to this address. If you can't find it, you can go to the police department and ask. Just say someone introduced you to a job and wants you to interview at the Cleanup Bureau. The police department will take you there.
Also, although you don't have to do this job if you don't want to, you still have to register because your abilities are dangerous. I've written down your license plate number and I can report you to the Ministry of Transportation at any time... Mr. Johnson, you don't want your carriage and this old horse to be confiscated, do you?"
"I……"
After receiving the note from the strange passenger, the coachman couldn't help scratching his big bald head, and then asked in a daze:
"Do you know me? Have you ridden in my car before?"
"No."
Lyon shook his head and said:
"I just met you for the first time today."
"Then how do you know my name?"
How do I know your name... Because that's what your anomaly is called!
[Name: Driving, Strong Luck]
[Appearance: A sedan-style light carriage that looks a bit old, pulled by a 12-year-old Highland horse. It can accommodate up to four people. The driver is a middle-aged man named Johnson.
During the working hours of the traffic police, the driver and the carriage will strictly abide by the rules and will not have any abnormal behavior, but outside the working hours of the traffic police, they will violate traffic rules a lot.
[Ability: Extreme speed driving, safe driving]
[Price: After the carriage rental period ends, you need to pay the fare based on the total mileage in accordance with the third edition of the current traffic law newly promulgated by the Kingdom of Migrants.]
[File: Due to the repeated actions of the Cleanup Bureau's God of Food, some people in the capital of the Migrant Kingdom have been slightly infected to varying degrees, and some individuals have awakened their own abnormal abilities.
During the Nightmare King's Coming event, Johnson, who was working the night shift, was about to fall asleep after sending a drunk passenger home when he and his old horse were dragged into the dreamland by the former Nightmare King. They were carrying a large number of frightened nightmares and speeding through the night sky to help them escape from the clutches of the Cleanup Bureau's Gourmet God, so...】
[Evaluation: An anomaly with a very unique effect. As long as the vehicle reaches the upper limit of its speed, no matter how many traffic rules are violated or how crazy the driving behavior is, as long as the carriage has not stopped, the driver and the passengers in the carriage will be safe.]
[Infiltration value: 12]
"Maybe it's because your name goes well with the bald head~"
After reading all of Johnson’s files, Leon, who had boarded the carriage because he had discovered that Johnson had something unusual, did not explain much. Instead, he picked up the paper bag and the hot bread, turned around and left the carriage, and said to the driver who was full of doubts:
"Although our work at the Cleanup Bureau is dangerous, the benefits are still good... Remember to sign up, otherwise I won't be the one looking for you next time... Hmm? Uncle John, are you up so early?"
Ha ha.
The muscular old man grinned at Leon who was walking to the small garden of the apartment, revealing a rather ferocious smile. He then waved the half-meter-long gardening shears in his hand at Leon, making a clacking sound. "It's a little rusty... Remember to apply some oil when you have time."
After taking a look at the blade of the gardening shears he had given as a gift and giving some advice on how to maintain them, Leon walked into the apartment holding a loaf of bread, exchanged a few words with the smiling aunt who was the administrator, and accepted a thin sweater that could only be worn in the fall, then he went upstairs.
However, just as Leon walked out of the stairwell and was about to reach out to knock on the door, the door hinge creaked slightly and was opened from the inside by someone.
"elder brother?"
Seeing Leon standing outside the door holding a bag of bread and looking at her with a smile on his face, Anna couldn't help but blink, and then said in surprise:
"Didn't you say you were going to find Sister Veronica yesterday? Why are you back?"
"?"
Being asked by his sister, Leon was a little confused. He said with a puzzled look:
"Yeah, but that was yesterday. Is there anything wrong with me coming back today?"
"Is there any problem..."
Looking at the puzzled elder brother, the thin girl pursed her lips and tried to explain as tactfully as possible:
"You two haven't seen each other for several months, and you only stayed for one night before going home? No...no more..."
"..."
Don't ask. Don't ask.
Seeing his sister hesitant to speak, Leon couldn't help but sigh, then gave her a somewhat awkward smile in return.
Your brother actually didn't sleep at all that night. He just paid off his debt to your sister-in-law. This... Strictly speaking, it's already too much. Your sister-in-law and I may need to take a good rest.
"There's a pot on the stove..."
After getting a hint of something from Leon's slightly awkward smile, the thin girl blushed and immediately ran back to the kitchen, saved the boiling soup pot, and absentmindedly poured the cod fillet into it.
Leon followed her into the house, placed the bread on the table, and then asked curiously:
"It's almost seven o'clock, right? Aren't William and the others up yet?"
"not yet."
After hearing Leon's question, Anna, who was busy in the kitchen, replied helplessly:
"It was almost time for them to get up, but they did their homework a little late last night and didn't finish it until after one o'clock, so I didn't call them..."
"That's it..."
Leon couldn't help smacking his lips when he heard this, feeling a little weird in his heart.
The daughter of the only Lord of Death, the Great Demon of Original Sin standing at the top of the abyss, and a race that seemed to be born to reach the root, because they stayed up until after one o'clock to make up their homework, was I a little too strict? Homework didn't seem to matter to them... huh?
Just as Leon was lamenting the horror of the homework, he heard a slight click from the door handle in the inner room. Melanie, who was wearing a cow nightgown, rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out with three steps and three steps. She looked at Leon with a dull look in her eyes, and then suddenly screamed:
"Brother? Why are you here?"
"Huh? Where am I if I'm not here?"
"Of course you'll give birth to a nephew for me at my sister-in-law's place! It's over! Is what the Sun said true? Does my sister-in-law really not want you anymore?!"
"..."
No, you are so sleepy, and you still have time to read that crappy newspaper? It seems that you still don’t have enough homework!!!
