Although Miss Belindel said that she can come to her at any time if she encounters trouble, Shade believes that since the other party has "employed" him, even if it is for her favorability, she will not go to the real Adele in two months.
·If Miss Isabella reports him, he can't often go to the countess to solve his troubles.
[What should you do if she still wants to report you?]
"She" smiled softly, and Xia De did not answer, but "she" who had read Xia De's thoughts knew that Xia De was not someone who would sit still and wait for death.
After thanking him softly, Shade took the document bag from the taciturn maid:
"Actually, I have a little thing to ask you for help with. This matter is related to the Hawthorne family and the Eddington family. My attack on Freeman Hawthorne was originally related to this."
He didn't want to involve Lesia, so he just mentioned that his friend's business was hindered by these two families, and pointed out the two reasons of "stealing business" and "being mentioned twice by a big shot."
Miss Belindel doesn't care much about such trivial matters:
"You don't have to worry about the Black Hand Gang and Hawthorne. Freeman Hawthorne has been taught a lesson. The entire Hawthorne family will keep a low profile for a while recently. After all, no one knows where the Ring Warlock came from.
, so the dock office’s concerns about your friend’s business will be lifted soon. As for Eddington”
She got up and went to the table to get the letter paper. After writing a letter carefully, she took out her personal seal and stamped it. The blond maid named "Matilda" put it into the envelope and melted it.
Fire paint dripped onto the seal of the letter, and before the paint solidified, the coat of arms of the Belindel family was printed on it.
The envelope was handed into Shade's hands, and the witch sat down opposite Shade again:
"Send this to the Port Authority so that the Eddington family won't embarrass their friends. The Belindel family still has some respect. I helped you, and you have to help me. Next, I hope you will like it in the moonlight.
Adventure and action in Bay City.”
She looked lazily at the young man sitting across from her, looking at his face that became more and more satisfied:
"Both Vanessa and Emma have great respect for you, and hope that your execution ability is as amazing as your charm. Speaking of which, before the end of this meeting that we are both very satisfied with, are you willing to reveal to me that you
What kind of power are you good at? I am not your employer, but I also want to know about it."
This request is very reasonable, so Shade said:
"I'm good at cold weapon combat. I'm not bragging. Even though I don't have much muscles, my strength and physical strength are amazing."
The witch still remembers the "power of the earth" among the special abilities of "Miss Charlotte", so it is not surprising.
"In addition, I am also good at the abilities of time and space. Space movement, time interference, coupled with my superb lock-picking, stealth, assassination, transformation, reconnaissance, ancient rune analysis capabilities, madam, I dare to fight even the Yodel Palace.
Break into.”
Shade told the truth, and Miss Belindel also smiled, and her impression of the man in front of her became clearer:
"No wonder Vanessa sent you to Moon Bay to find the Diamond of Hope. This combination of abilities is the most suitable for investigation and detective work. Of course, if you become a killer, you must be top-notch."
At this time, she thought of Shade's identity as a double agent, but she never thought of connecting Shade with the "God Caller":
"However, the 'time pause' you showed yesterday was really amazing. I thought you were not the Seventh Ring you claimed to be."
"I just have a slightly better timing talent, look at this."
He took out the [Lord of Immortality Ring] and put it on his finger. He gently turned the ring and took a deep breath. As the gray air flow flew from the wine glass on the coffee table in front of him into his nose, only the red wine liquid level at the bottom of the glass remained.
It actually started to rise slowly.
This time, not only the great witch of fate, but also the maid behind her couldn't help but blink.
"Go back in time?"
Miss Belindel asked in surprise, but this was not for Shade to answer:
"You have the ability to stop time. I thought it was with the help of relics. Now it seems that the seventh ring can turn back time and stop time. This is really your own outstanding talent. If you let Mr. Speaker, that time
The lady at the seat sees you. This is not okay, she may imprison you forever. It seems that I have to pay more attention to you. The ordinary price cannot be exchanged for the help of a ring warlock who controls the power of time.
Mr. Watson, I look forward to your performance. I hope you can be like a meteor falling into Moon Bay in the sea of stars, bringing more interesting stories to this seemingly peaceful city."
Although Miss Belindel wanted to talk to Shade more, she did not forget her identity, so she did not let Shade stay for lunch. Shade naturally would not be annoying and had to stay. But this time
Before the meeting ended, he did not forget to remind the great witch of fate to investigate whether the "Light Technique" used by the [Light Worshipers Training Group] in the most critical battle round yesterday and the light technique used by the woman in the black dress before she died were...
What:
"The light is extraordinary."
"I will investigate. Just focus on investigating the corpse."
The witch naturally agreed, and when she said goodbye to Shade, she also suggested, as if she suddenly remembered it, that when Shade was in the city, he should pay attention to whether there were dragon-born ring warlocks who had recently arrived from out of town:
"I had an unexpected divination some time ago, and it was related to myself. It's nothing, just pay attention to it for me."
She looked at Shade, then lowered her eyes to make sure that he was not a dragonborn and had nothing to do with the person in her prophecy.
After spending the whole morning at Belindle Manor, Shade went home and had lunch with little Mia at noon. During lunch, he also took out the silver anchor jewelry given by the blue-eyed girl he saw in the museum.
Playing with it, the cat that was originally squatting on the high stool waiting for Shade to feed him, after sniffing suspiciously, actually meowed at the silver ornament.
"This is not for you to eat."
Shade said to the cat with a dissatisfied expression, and the latter meowed softly again, but still twitched its little nose and sniffed, seeming to still care about the anchor.
This made Shade mistakenly think that the cat was interested in Yuewan City, so after lunch, he wanted to take it to Yuewan City. However, the cat, who was used to taking a nap in the sun, ignored Shade and finally came to Gloomy Bay.
There is still only Shade in the Moon Bay area.
He first went to the "Princess Trading Partner" in the dock area, handed the letter from Miss Belindel to the three people from the trading company, and explained that the matter had been basically resolved:
"The customs will soon send someone to inspect the batch of grain, and they will release it for you after the inspection. The Hawthorne family has encountered some things recently, so the dock office will not continue to deliberately embarrass you in the near future. In a few days, Mr. William Kidd
, Mr. George Robert, you can just go to the dock office and ask again. As for the port authority, that's all."
The bright coat of arms of the Belindel family on the wax seal of the letter fully explains the origin of this letter.
Mr. George Robert said with great awe:
"Sir, what is your relationship with the Belindel family?"
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. This relationship can't be used much. Belindel helped me this time, and I will definitely have to repay the favor. But for Miss Prince, it's all worth it."
"The lady sent you here, she really found the right person."
Shade didn’t plan to stay here long:
"Okay, okay, please arrange for the three ships to leave the port as soon as possible. The lady is still waiting. Also, don't forget what I want to investigate near Herring Street in Xiacheng District."
Although Miss Belindel promised to help, Shade can't rely entirely on the witch:
"In the past month or two, you have been keeping a low profile. I'm afraid the city will not be very peaceful. I will be in Yuewan all the time and come here every two or three days. Please help me keep the letter you sent me. If you encounter
If you encounter trouble that you can't handle, remember to tell me."
"Yes, sir."
The three of them stood up together and said, then sent Shade to the door downstairs.
There was still a lot of time in the afternoon. After leaving the dock area, Shade went to the autopsy room at the end of Spider Lane and found the coroner, Mr. Ptolemy Albert. On the one hand, he wanted to thank him for his work at the police station yesterday.
The help at the door was partly to inquire about the progress of the investigation into the unknown female corpse.
The busy coroner did not have much time to receive Shade. There were quite a few corpses found in Lower City every day. He did not ask Shade what he was doing yesterday afternoon. As for the progress of the corpse investigation, Bernhardt on the other side of the investigation
The gentleman did have a breakthrough:
"The identity of the body has been roughly determined. Armand found the artist who had tattooed the woman when she was alive. Although the other party did not know who the woman was, Armand relied on this to delineate the scope of the woman's activities during her lifetime.
After investigating nearby, we found out that she was indeed a prostitute, but a relatively high-end one. The day before she disappeared, she was picked up by a carriage and never came back."
He gave Shad a note left by Mr. Bernhardt:
"The carriage went to this place. When Armand came in the morning, he said that if you are interested, you can go and have a look. He should be there now. I hope you can gain something."
"Okay, I'll go now. I'm pretty busy with my own affairs, and I have time to investigate with Mr. Bernhardt."
Shade looked at the note:
"Crowley Steam Bath, No. 18 Greve Street in the north of the city. Steam bath?"
The arrival of the steam age has also brought about great changes in people's living habits. The steam engine has not only changed the way of industrial production, but its impact is all-round. Among them, public bathhouses represent the current social changes and sanitation improvements, and are more
This kind of public facilities is more popular in big cities in the north and south of Kasenlik.
This is definitely not the kind of place outsiders imagine to hide dirt and evil. On the contrary, the "steam bathhouse" provides a high-end sanitary experience, attracting the social elite and wealthy people in big cities.
Wear a special bathrobe to bathe in the marble hot pool, step on the smooth floor to sweat, clean your skin, relax your muscles, and then let a professional masseur perform a massage to help relax your muscles and reduce stress.
This is not only a sanitary facility, but also a social place. While enjoying relaxation, chatting with friends and discussing political, cultural and social affairs, people nowadays regard it as a very high-end behavior.
