What the tune expresses at this time is undoubtedly the most frantic and fearful emotion.
Even though Shade had not seen the performance of the blind musician Mr. Bundy in the last period of his life, hearing the increasingly manic sound of the piano almost completely understood how he reached the end of his life step by step.
This piece of music has a strange magic. When Shade tried to seriously understand the emotions contained in it, he got the emotional resonance almost instantly. The manic music led him to imagine Mr. Bundy huddled in the darkness.
In the corner of the house, he closed his eyes in fear and whispered his fear, and then guided Shade to imagine that on that fateful night, Mr. Bundy wrote a suicide note and completely lost the courage to fight against life and destiny.
Although the sound affected his emotions, Shade could basically remain calm. He sighed, a little pitiful for the person he had never met. Music alone could almost drive a poor man crazy, Riddle
The fear and torture that Mr. Xiang suffered is simply immeasurable.
"That's all right, Miss Servit."
He reminded softly, because there was no need to continue listening. But the black-haired maid seemed not to have heard it and continued to play music in front of the piano. Looking at her profile, the maid's beautiful face actually showed signs of
Some ferocious expressions.
Shade immediately stood up, came behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders:
"It's over now, Miss Servit."
As Shade's voice fell, the piano sound also stopped abruptly. Miss Servit turned her head to look at Shade in confusion, then lowered her head and said softly:
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
It's not that the music written by an ordinary person on the verge of madness can affect a six-ring warlock with the power of a witch, but that she puts too much emotion into her performance and it affects herself.
Brilliant musicians are often dangerous.
Her fingers left the keys and she looked at the music score in front of her in a daze. Shade glanced out the window, the sun was setting, and it was probably night now. So he tried to use the moonlight gift of Cyndia Thaumaturgy, although because of the night
It has not yet completely arrived, and the effect of thaumaturgy is not very good, but this ability, which is specially used to treat mental damage and soothe the spirit, is still very good for the current situation.
Shade's palm exuded a faint silver light. He hesitated for a moment, then stood behind the black-haired maid and gently pressed her temple with his right index finger.
Miss Servitt obviously wanted to stand up and stop Shade, but Shade's left hand suppressed her shoulder.
"It's very crazy music. Although the score itself has no supernatural power, it's just an ordinary madman who can't write such magical music. From this point of view, my commission still involves mysterious events, and my luck is really bad.
Detective Luo's luck is really bad. Even if he doesn't die, ahem, he might die because of this. Miss Servit, what do you think of this score?"
Shade continued to ask, and the light of the silver moon on his fingers penetrated into the maid's head through touch. Her forehead was a little wet, and Shade could feel traces of warmth on his fingers.
"If this man is still alive, I would like to meet him. This last piece of music is enough for him to be called a genius. He has witnessed mysterious and terrifying things, and in frenzy and fear, he unconsciously passes through these pieces of music.
He describes what he sees. Although he is just an ordinary person, his inspiration is really good."
The black-haired maid said softly. Because her back was to Shade, Shade couldn't see her expression.
"See the mystery?"
Shade sighed, this is another misfortune that ordinary people encounter when they come into contact with a mystery:
"It seems that the natural eye disease that was suddenly cured is indeed abnormal. I got some ointments he used, but there are only a few left and cannot be analyzed. I plan to go to the 'Three Eyes' next to the Anthem Square tomorrow.
I asked about the situation at the Cat Hotel, and the landlord and people from the opera troupe said that after Mr. Bundy's eyes recovered, he often spent time there. After asking about the situation there, I went to visit the ophthalmologist."
"This is a good plan, but I think the possibility that the doctor you are talking about is a magician is very low. A magician would not do such an imprudent thing. If he were a magician, you would not be able to get this score at all.
And the residue of those medicines."
She put her hands on her knees, looking a little reserved at this time:
"I often give young ladies massages like this."
"Miss Carina also has headaches?"
Shade asked curiously.
"Of course, it's not just a matter of the Witch Council, Miss is the de facto person in charge of Saladir County. If she wasn't interested in power, she might even have the chance to become independent of Saladir County and become the queen of the Principality of Saladir. Territory
Even if there are corresponding officials to deal with taxation, finance, and public affairs, the lady is still responsible for making important decisions, which is very troublesome."
Miss Servit explained quietly.
"So"
Shade still wanted to ask, but the door was suddenly pushed open. In this manor, there was only one person who was qualified to open the door without knocking.
The hurried red-haired witch held the doorknob in surprise, stood at the door and looked inside. Miss Servit stood up immediately, and Shade saw her blushing:
"Miss"
She lowered her head and walked quickly towards Miss Carina, who looked back and forth between Shade and her personal maid, with a strange smile on her face:
"Good evening, Shade. I took the time to come and see you. After all, you don't come to visit me often. What were you doing just now?"
Shade had done nothing wrong, so he was not afraid of her asking. He briefly explained the commission he was undertaking. Miss Carina thought for a while, then looked at her maid, and suddenly had an idea:
"In this case, let Tifa follow you as your assistant tomorrow to continue the investigation. Oh, don't refuse in a hurry."
This is what I said to the maid lady.
"Tifa, I keep asking you to take vacations, but you always refuse. Since you have become involved in the affairs of this detective who can never take a break, why not help him complete this commission and stay with him?
Walking around the city. I think with your power, it should be no problem to protect him."
As she said that, the witch winked at Shade, obviously telling him not to refuse.
"but"
The black-haired maid still wanted to refuse.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry with you, nor am I bored with you."
The duchess smiled and put her arms around her maid:
"But you really should rest. And being a detective assistant, wouldn't it be a very interesting experience? Oh, if I could be younger, I mean if I don't have so many things, then it won't be your turn.
Helped Shade. Remember to tell me this story when you come back. I am very curious about the result."
"Miss Carina, if Miss Servit is unwilling, you"
The Duchess smiled and looked up at Shade, who was speaking. Shade immediately closed his mouth in a wise manner. Miss Servitt shook her head slightly at Shade with some restraint, telling him not to say more.
She grabbed the lace stripe on the front of her maid's skirt and apron with both hands, raised her head, and her expression returned to its usual state:
"Okay, miss, I will try my best to help Mr. Hamilton."
"Okay, Shade, I'll ask Tifa to find you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Are you okay?"
The witch looked at Shade again. Although there was a smile on her face, the meaning of this expression was obviously a threat that Shade would never refuse.
"Of course, it's my honor."
"Very good, I recently read a very interesting detective novel in the "Steam Bird Daily". Speaking of which, the detective's surname is also Hamilton. So, Tifa, please help me experience the work of a real detective assistant.
Bring me more stories after you come back from vacation."
She looked her maid up and down again:
"Remember to change your clothes tomorrow and don't interfere with Shade's work."
"Yes, miss."
The witch nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Shade:
"Lesia returned to Tobesk today, did you know?"
"of course I know."
"I thought you would run near Yodel Palace and wait to see her."
The witch teased, and then asked:
"Do you need me to help you arrange it so that she has time to see you? Although Lecia cannot leave Yodel Palace for the time being, I can let you find a way to get in."
"No, no, that's not necessary. This is a sensitive period for the royal family."
In fact, Shade has not forgotten that Lesia is somewhat hostile to Miss Carina.
Miss Carina doesn’t care either:
"Well, I'm going to have dinner with Marquise Seula tonight to discuss the issue of shares in the New World Pioneer Team. I won't keep you here today. If there is anything else, just tell Tifa directly."
After saying that, she turned and left. Shade shook his head at the black-haired maid, meaning that he had no need and just asked her to leave with Miss Carina. The maid obviously wanted to say something to Shade, but in the end he hesitated.
Without speaking, he bowed slightly to Shade and said goodbye, then quickly chased in the direction of Miss Carina.
It is actually a good thing for Shade to have an extra six-ring warlock to help handle the commission.
Early in the morning on Wednesday, the 21st day of the Flower Moon, when Shade went downstairs to get the newspaper, he accidentally found a letter from Dorothy.
Due to the unexpected success of "Hamilton Detective Stories", the writer is currently busy negotiating with publishers and newspapers to collect and publish the published stories after the series has been serialized for a period of time. Therefore, she has not had time to visit Shard recently.
See the detective notes here.
But she told Shade that Lesia would probably have time to leave Yoder Palace this weekend, so Shade had better spend the weekend. Lesia might knock on the door of Saint Teresa Square at any time.
Although he had met Her Royal Highness the Princess many times in Coldwater Port, Shade was still full of expectations for this.
Miss Servit appeared downstairs at Shade's house on time at eight o'clock. When Shade felt the pendant on his chest start to heat up on the second floor, he immediately realized that she had arrived.
