Chapter 1735: Increase Intensity

Holy shit, this speed… the carriage isn't supposed to fully speed up until next month, right?

Pulling his gaze away from the newspaper full of gossip news, looking at the familiar apartment outside the carriage window, Leon, who was surprised that the speed was wrong, couldn't help but have a toothache and asked:

"Here already? You are running more than twice as fast as the public carriage. The speeding is too serious!"

"Eh~ isn't it because I wasn't caught!"

After receiving the fare from Leon, the carriage driver laughed and said:

"As long as the traffic police can catch up with me, I don't care if they fine me. As long as they leave the horse to me, it's fine to impound the carriage… Speaking of which, your body is really good. I didn't hear any movement for half a day, and I thought you hit your head in the carriage and fainted directly."

"…"

Your mother, are you sure you are driving a carriage, not some other thing?

Looking at the carriage driver opposite who was laughing quite "rampantly", Leon silently touched the carriage, reached out and picked at the blocked license plate, and then touched the carriage driver's hands full of cracks and calluses.

"Guest?"

After pulling his hand back like an electric shock, the carriage driver, who was about forty years old, saw the smile on his face freeze, and asked with a confused face:

"You… you are…"

"No other meaning, just feel that you are really wasted as a carriage driver, and I am prepared to introduce you to a new job… Of course, whether you do it or not depends on you."

Pulling the screaming bald carriage driver, pressing him back into the driver's seat, and reaching out to pat the horse's butt, Leon nodded with satisfaction, then reached out to take out his personal notebook, wrote a note and handed it over, then said gently:

"Mr. Johnson, right? When you have time, remember to go to this address to report. If you can't find it, you can go to the Police Department to ask, just say someone introduced you to a job and you want to go to the Cleanup Bureau for an interview, and the people at the Police Department will take you there."

"Also, although you don't have to do this job if you don't want to, because your ability has a certain danger, registration is still necessary. I have already recorded 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, right?"

"I…"

Taking the note handed by this strange passenger, the carriage driver couldn't help but scratch his big bald head, then asked with a confused expression:

"Do you know me? Have you taken my carriage before?"

"No."

Leon shook his head:

"I am seeing you for the first time today."

"Then how do you know my name?"

How do I know your name… because your anomalous item is called this!

【Name: Wild Johnson (Driving, Strong Luck)】

【Appearance: A sedan light carriage pulled by a 12-year-old elderly highland horse, with a somewhat old appearance, maximum four passengers, and a middle-aged man named Johnson as the driver.

During the traffic police's duty hours, the driver and the carriage will strictly abide by the rules and will not have any abnormal behavior, but outside the traffic police's duty hours, they will violate traffic regulations in large numbers】

【Ability: Extreme Driving, Safe Driving】

【Cost: After the carriage rental time ends, you need to pay the fare according to the total mileage driven in accordance with the third edition of the current traffic law issued by the Kingdom of Traveling Thrush】

【File: Due to the repeated actions of the Cleanup Bureau's Food God, some of the people in the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Traveling Thrush have been immersed to varying degrees, and some individuals have awakened their own abnormal abilities.

In the event of the descent of the King of Nightmares, Johnson, who was working the night shift, was dragged into the dream by the former King of Nightmares just as he was about to fall asleep after sending the drunk passenger home. He drove a large number of frightened nightmares in the night sky, helping them escape the poison of the Cleanup Bureau's Food God, so…】

【Evaluation: An anomalous item with a quite unique effect. Apart from reaching the extreme speed that the current vehicle can bear, no matter how many traffic regulations are violated and 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 and sound】

【Immersion Value: 12】

"Maybe because your name matches your bald head~"

After reading the entire file of 【Wild Johnson】, Leon, who had discovered that he had an anomalous item and got on the carriage, did not explain much, but hugged the paper bag and the hot bread, turned and left the carriage directly, and casually exhorted the carriage driver who was full of doubts again:

"Our Cleanup Bureau's work is dangerous, but the benefits are good… Remember to register, otherwise it won't be me looking for you next time… Hm? Uncle John, are you up so early?"

Hehe.

Looking at Leon who walked to the small garden next to the apartment, grinning at him, revealing a quite ferocious smile, the muscular old man waved the gardening shears more than half a meter long in his hand at Leon, making a clicking friction sound.

"A little rusty… remember to apply some oil when you have time."

Looking at the blade of the gardening shears he gave, giving corresponding maintenance suggestions, Leon walked into the apartment with bread in his arms, exchanged greetings with the manager aunt who was smiling, and accepted a thin sweater that could only be worn in autumn, then climbed up the stairs.

However, Leon had just walked out of the stairwell and was about to reach out to knock on the door, when the door hinge made a creaking sound and was opened from the inside in advance.

"Brother?"

Looking at Leon standing outside the door with a bag of long bread and a smile on his face, Anna couldn't help but blink, then said with surprise:

"Did you go to find Sister Veronica yesterday? Why are you back?"

"?"

Being asked by his sister with some confusion, Leon said inexplicably:

"Yes, but that was yesterday. Is there any problem with me coming back today?"

"It's not that there is any problem…"

Looking at her eldest brother who was full of confusion, the thin girl pursed her lips and explained as tactfully as possible:

"You two only meet once every few months, and you only stayed for one night and came home? Don't… don't stay more…"

"…"

Don't ask, don't ask.

Looking at his sister's look of wanting to speak but stopping, Leon couldn't help but "uh", then returned her an awkward smile.

Your brother didn't sleep all night, he was paying off debts for your sister-in-law. This… strictly speaking, it's already a lot. Your sister-in-law and I probably have to rest well.

"I have a pot sitting on the stove…"

From Leon's slightly awkward smile, vaguely tasting a bit of meaning, the thin girl couldn't help but blush, then hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, saved the boiling soup pot, and poured cod segments into it with some distraction.

And Leon followed her into the room, placed the bread on the set dining table, and then asked curiously:

"It's almost seven o'clock, right? Are William and the others not up yet?"

"Not yet."

Hearing Leon's inquiry, Anna, who was busy in the kitchen, answered helplessly:

"Originally, they should have been up, but they were a bit late in making up their homework last night. It was past one o'clock and they hadn't finished it, so I didn't call them…"

"I see…"

Leon couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling a bit strange in his heart.

The daughter of the only Death Overlord, the Original Sin Demon God at the peak of the Abyss, and a race suspected of being born directly to the root, stayed up until past one o'clock to make up homework. Am I a bit too strict? Homework doesn't seem to be anything to them… Hm?

Just as Leon was lamenting the horror of homework, he heard a light sound from the door handle of the inner room. Melanie, wearing a cow-print small pajamas, rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out, swaying step by step. Her eyes were a bit dull as she looked at Leon, and then suddenly let out a scream:

"Brother? Why are you here?"

"Ah? If I am not here, where should I be?"

"Of course you should be at sister-in-law's place giving birth to a nephew for me! It's over! Is it true what the Sun News said? Sister-in-law really doesn't want you anymore?!"

"…"

No, you are so sleepy, and you still have the energy to read that broken newspaper? It seems that the homework is still not enough!!!
