The young black-haired witch looked at her student:
"The princess of the North Kingdom can even take out her own sister, but you are still reserved. You don't really want to wait until Shade goes to Willondale City, do you? After all this time, you still don't think he will make a promise to you?"
"Teacher, I am a witch's apprentice and I must stay pure."
The messy blond hair hung casually behind Margaret, but Miss Sylvia joked:
"So what's the truth?"
Margaret raised her neck slightly:
"I'm waiting for him to speak first. If he takes the initiative, I will...
Is this a girl?"
Miss Sylvia shook her head and looked at her students:
"Love and war are unreasonable, Carina always says that."
So Her Royal Highness the Princess mustered up the courage and asked:
"Teacher, where are you?"
"My dear Margaret~ There is still a difference between a witch and a witch's apprentice."
Emma Sylvia, who thought she had left very quickly, said that although she speculated about what Carina and Shad had had, she still didn't think she had lost much.
On the other side, Shade, who left Margaret Manor, did not return to the ship directly, but went to Spider Alley again.
This time it was a coincidence that although Mr. Albert was not in the autopsy room, through the guidance of his colleagues, Shade found him in the Spider Hotel talking to Bernhardt.
When the two of them saw Shade, they both stretched out their hands to say hello. Then Shade also sat down at the table. After the innkeeper wearing an apron left, Shade glanced at Mr. Albert in a burqa, and then said to him.
Mr. Earnhardt said:
"Something big is going to happen."
"Well don't big things happen all the time?"
Lord Vampire Seed was puzzled, and Shade raised his eyebrows:
"The real big thing will probably be similar to what happened at Middlesbrough last autumn."
Mr. Bernhardt was startled, and then almost jumped up from the table:
"Are you sure? No, you are not a joker. So when is it?"
Mr. Albert on the side was also listening carefully, and Shade did not hide anything:
"The church will probably find traces of the ritual soon. I can't be sure of the specific time, but it should be between the weekend and next Tuesday."
"This week? But today is already Thursday!"
Mr. Bernhardt immediately became restless. Shade did not comfort him, but asked again:
"How is the investigation into the businessman Thomas Pidgeon going?"
"I asked Captain Rudolf's connections to investigate Pigeon's fleet. On the surface, he was doing business with the Islands, but in fact, he had been doing smuggling business with the New World. I arranged for people to investigate his warehouse and cabin, and the result was really
He discovered some magic potions and alchemy materials that are special to the Old World, and judging from the types, the person he was trading with must be the [Dragon Eater Order]."
"Caught a mouse."
Mr. Albert said while holding the wine glass, and Bernhardt sighed:
"Mr. Watson, after you find out if there is something wrong with Carmen Eddington, we will arrest Pigeon. Don't worry about him escaping. I have enough manpower now. There are people around him 24 hours a day."
Yes. And it would be better if he escaped. We might be able to discover more secrets with him."
"Tomorrow is Friday, and I will see Carmen Eddington at the Margaret Manor banquet in the evening. If he is really just an ordinary person, I can ask him under hypnosis. If he is not, then the question will be interesting.
"
The innkeeper came over again and brought the beer that Shade ordered. There wouldn't be very delicious drinks in a small shop like this. Shade ordered drinks just so that he wouldn't have nothing in front of him.
"After solving this matter, I will have nothing in my hands. We will be ready for battle from the weekend to next Tuesday."
Mr. Bernhard didn't want to back down. Now that he had come to this step, he had obviously made up his mind. As for the symbolic relics that Shade needed to summon the gods, he had already prepared them, just because Mr. Albert was here.
, he did not mention it directly.
"Mr. Watson, actually I also want to ask you for help with something."
The coroner said again from the side, and Shade looked at him again:
"whats the matter?"
"It's not a very troublesome matter. If the matter is resolved smoothly, you can finally get a Rhodes card with special rules as a reward."
He spoke in a very calm tone:
"You should also know about the three precious cards that made a fuss in Yuewan City some time ago. Yes, you must know. After all, you have won one at the Parsifal Club. I know the most precious card.
But I need to solve some troubles first. I wonder if you have time on Saturday?"
Shade nodded hesitantly:
"I think there should be."
Although Saturday afternoon was the time for the group meeting, even Dorothy had already arrived at Moon Bay, and Tobesk was left with only him and the doctor. It would not be a big problem to cancel the group study meeting this time. And Ptolemy·
Since Albert met with him before God descended, he must not have just wanted his help.
"Well, Mr. Watson, we'll meet here at half past nine on Saturday morning."
"What kind of trouble is this? Do you need my help?"
Mr. Bernhardt on the side also asked. Mr. Albert glanced at him and shook his head slightly:
"Armand, this time it will be just me and Mr. Watson."
They were drinking here just now, and they were talking about ethnic traitors. Therefore, not long after Shade arrived, Mr. Albert left first, saying that the topic was over.
Mr. Bernhardt turned his head and watched his figure disappear, and then asked Xiang Shade:
"I can tell that something is wrong with you today."
Pause for a moment:
"Because of Ptolemy?"
"Yes."
Mr. Bernhardt was not surprised at all:
"Did you know that there is a very subtle mutual induction between vampires and vampires? This mutual induction is stronger among higher vampire species. There is currently no research to prove the origin of this perception, but it should be related to our
Blood related.
I am telling you this nonsense. When I first came to Yuewan three months ago and saw Ptolemy, whom I had not seen for a long time, I already felt that he was like an unstable steam bomb. Although on the surface he was just
Six rings, but I probably can't beat him.
I originally thought he had some adventure, but so many things have happened since you arrived, and I have almost figured it out. [Blood Sorrow] should be in his hands, right?"
Shade nodded:
"I asked someone to investigate his identity and background. There are many stories in it. Let's go to another restaurant for dinner. I'll talk to you about this. I want you to evaluate this person from your perspective."
The Spider Hotel also served dinner, but the taste was obviously not very good. So the two left the lower city and went to the core of the city upstream of the Taton River to have dinner.
During this period, Shade explained the suspected origin of the coroner, the reason why he went to the New World after graduation, his experiences in the New World, and the general story of his middle age. Finally, he mentioned the leader he met while investigating [Eternal Light] yesterday.
"Pious Cultivator", and the matter of being scratched by [Blood Sorrow].
Some of these things were already understood by Mr. Bernhardt. He listened and nodded. He didn't give the answer until Shade finished speaking and the two of them walked together in the Parliament Square under Belindel's Big Ben.
:
"I know you may think that I am favoring my friends, but to this day, I still think that Ptolemy is an upright and good man. Otherwise, I would not keep asking him for help."
"I don't deny his justice."
Shade also said:
"But when a just person does a just thing, is it necessarily right? We do not discuss philosophical issues. I also think Mr. Albert is a good person, but should we trust him completely?"
The middle-aged Vampire Seed Lord is not a stupid young man who has never experienced anything. Regarding this issue, he just remained silent.
At this time, night has fallen. Standing in the glowing fog, you look up at the towering Belindel Big Ben——
When~
The clock struck six-thirty, and Shade had already made his decision.
Although he had dinner with Mr. Bernhardt that day, Shade returned to Belindel Manor before going home.
However, something unexpected happened that night. It was almost midnight, and the bedroom of the Hamilton Detective Agency was as hot as usual.
The blonde was entangled with Shade, and Her Royal Highness was using the writer's body for the "second half." Their period of physical discomfort lasted for six days and finally ended.
She was kissing Shade passionately when suddenly there was a knock on the door——
Dong Dong Dong~
"Someone's knocking on the bedroom door!"
Shade immediately broke free from Lesia's arm, which made Her Royal Highness very dissatisfied:
"Why did you stop? It's little Mia knocking on the door. She's probably hungry. Don't you want to help her lose weight? Ignore her."
"It's not little Mia, it's me. Doesn't that cat like to scratch the door?"
The clear voice of the red-haired witch came from outside the door, with helplessness in her voice:
"Lecia, open the door."
She knew from the conversation inside the door that the person on the "battlefield" at this time was Lesia, who was supposed to be in Yodel Palace.
"What are you going to do? It's ours as agreed tonight!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke in the direction of the door without forgetting to put her arms around Sha De's neck, as if she was worried that Sha De would suddenly run away.
"Of course there is something important. My jewelry just sent a message asking me to go to the parliament for a meeting. Didn't you hear me singing in the corridor? Something happened again over at Yuewan. Shade, open the door. I can
I don’t want to listen to Lesia’s deliberate voice talking to you through the door.”
Although she was quite reluctant, Lesia also knew the priority of the matter, so although she was still complaining, she kissed Shade a few times and "let go" of Shade.
