Although the repulsed evil spirit did not suffer much damage, Xia De's actions made it become more violent. The lower elements corroded the spirit body, and more and more black faces appeared from the depths of its soul. Xia De
De could even hear the continuous whispers and curses coming from his ears.
His right foot swept away the fallen leaves on the ground, and before it attacked Shade again with the white mist, Shade took the initiative and rushed over with swords in both hands:
"one!"
He thrust forward suddenly, and the moonlight sword was blocked by the pale green shield as expected.
"two!"
Through [Raglai's Jump], his figure appeared behind the evil spirit, and the light shield appeared again to block the sword in Shade's hand.
"three!"
The sword and light shield competed with each other behind the evil spirit. The second sword summoned by [Blade of Chaotic Time] appeared from the front of the soul and struck directly at the evil spirit's head.
The light shield is in the shape of half an eggshell. If it defends against attacks from behind, it cannot defend from the front. A two-handed sword carrying moonlight thrust out from the air, first piercing the big blood-red hand extending from the neck of the spirit body—
-Evil spirits' abilities are mostly related to resentment and the cause of death, and then the sword blade pierced the spirit's head.
The light shield behind him disappeared at this moment, but Shade did not relax:
"Mind blast!"
With one punch, the black faces surrounding the soul dissipated in shock... The whispering elements were expelled along with the white mist. With the appearance of the pure white spirit body and the appearance of cracks on the surface of the spirit body, Shade knew that he had won.
Already.
At the last moment of collapse, Professor Higgins turned to look at Shad, his eyes filled with puzzlement and confusion. He was about to say his last words before disappearing. This is the unique characteristic of the evil spirits in the Fort Midhill area:
"Why."
I didn't want to be troublesome, but his sad expression was indeed pitiful. His soul was about to disappear, and Xia De was not worried about the other party snitching on him. Considering that he had taken the other party's suitcase, Xia De sighed and couldn't help but comforted:
"Actually, I am a gray eagle, so your mission did not fail, you succeeded, Professor."
Professor Higgins' "last words" came to an abrupt end, and his soul, which was collapsing from the bottom up, looked at him.
"Yes, I am the Gray Eagle of Tobesk. I got the information from Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Set. In that pen, the accurate information is - the last day of this month
, your goods are in the warehouse with a red door number on Punjab Street in Fort Midhill. The ink is blue and black, and the paper is rolled up."
The professor's pure white and transparent hand grabbed his arm, and the soul that was about to collapse was about to become whole again because of Xia De's words. So, Xia De lightly scratched with his finger, and the black cracks immediately opened, and the soul overflowed.
The light points drift towards the land of death:
"Leave, your mission has been completed."
He said softly, and Professor Higgins' soul looked at him:
"Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m., go to the platform of Fort Midhill Railway Station. Take a bouquet of red roses, wear gray gloves backwards, and a gold pen in your breast pocket. Remember to dress decently and have someone hand over the box. The password is, no, for all ages.
interested in."
Shade looked at him in surprise. There was no mention in his memory that he could still complete the mission like this. But he immediately figured it out. After one of his companions was shot and another committed suicide to end the mission, within a week, Higgins
It is impossible for a professor not to notify his superiors of changes in assignments.
Therefore, this is a new arrangement. Professor Higgins did not expect that he would be able to take the box away.
Only the part above the neck was left. Shade nodded slightly, but did not make a promise. He thought of the password for giving up the mission (Chapter 561) obtained from the cipher text in the newspaper, so he softly used the card
The spirit body completely disintegrated and floated into the "Death Door" opened by Shade.
Shade waved his palm, as if smoothing the black crack with his palm.
Then he sighed slightly, raised his head over the treetops of the dense forest, and looked at the dim sun in the sky. The strange optical effect made the dim sun disc blurry, reflecting the gradually thickening sunset glow:
"This world is really dangerous for ordinary people."
Professor Higgins' body was buried in the Sikar Mountains, under a tree where you could overlook Fort Midhill, and then returned to Tobesk's home with the suitcase.
There was no one at home, and under the light of the setting sun, only Mia the cat happily jumped down the stairs from the second floor to welcome Shade home.
Therefore, no matter how bad things happened to Shade outside, he would always be in a good mood when he came home and saw the cat that greeted him.
I changed out of the clothes I wore when I went to Fort Midhill, and after freshening up a little, I took my cat with me to find Dorothy on Quill Street in the University District.
It's a pity that the blond writer lady is not at home. The landlady said that she went home to have dinner with her family.
So Shade thought he was taking a walk in the evening, walked to Silver Cross Avenue with Mia in his arms, and handed a note to Agelina's maid in the flower shop to see Lesia in an emergency.
Later, at the back of the flower shop, in the lounge specially reserved for Agelina, we tasted rose tea and exquisite rose cakes. Agelina sometimes sneaks out and likes to be alone in this flower shop.
It's really nice to have a rest room just for her.
After eating and drinking with the cat, Lesia sent a letter asking Shade to wait for her on the bank of the Terrariel River on the west side of Yodel Palace. After a while, she and Agelina would go out to watch the opera, and the carriage would take her.
After walking them through the pastoral avenue of Felice, they will stop by the river.
"The lives of princesses are really pleasant."
Sighing in his heart, Shade took the suitcase that he had not opened so far, and set out again with the soft cat that looked like he was sleepy. He walked around the huge Yodel Palace complex from the side, and in
Pass through the street between the Jodel Palace and the Royal House of Representatives, enter the intersection with Felice Pastoral Street, and choose the one leading to the river at the five-way intersection.
The Terrarel River in autumn is still a wet season, and freight ships are rushing to transport the last cargo of the year before the winter freezes.
At this time, the sun has almost completely set, and the Terrareal River is reflected in a golden color. Steamboats with thick chimneys patrol the river, pulling out columns of smoke backwards. The autumn wind sweeps across the water, sparkling,
The reflected light made people squint their eyes.
Wild geese pass by in a line in the sky. In the hazy city sky, the irregular cotton-like clouds are almost impossible to observe. When the sun reveals its last rays of light, three wheels can already be seen on the horizon.
There are traces of the moon.
The red moon, the yellow moon, the silver moon, and the three-wheeled moon hang in the shadowy starry sky. This is dusk, and it is probably the most pleasant moment of the day. Because no matter who you are, you will subconsciously slow down at this moment, and the night is about to begin.
It's coming.
Shade didn't wait long by the river before the princesses' motorcade drove over. But after the motorcade left, a seemingly ordinary carriage stopped.
Not far away is the Cavendish Bridge across the Terrarel River - this tower bridge was built with royal money. The coachman motioned to Shade to go to the bridge. So Shade and the cat walked leisurely along the river bank.
The carriage followed him at an extremely slow speed.
Soon they arrived at the bridge. Shade walked onto the bridge. After walking about twelve steps, he stopped and then looked at the scenery outside the bridge. Mia looked curiously at the water under the bridge in his arms, and then
He shrank his head as if he was frightened.
The carriage slowly blocked behind Shade. As the door opened, Shade turned around suddenly and rushed in with the cat in his arms at a very fast speed, as if he was holding an orange steam bomb.
Because he was going too fast, he almost bumped into Agelina who was trying to say hello to him.
"Shadow, good evening."
"Good evening, Lesia, oh, good evening, Your Highness Agelina."
I don’t know if it’s because it was Shade who took the initiative to come to her this time, but Lesia, who was wearing a red dress, was in a very high mood:
"Is there something you want to do if you write to me specifically?"
Because explaining MI6, Detective Sparrow and vampires would be very troublesome, Shade asked directly:
"Have any valuables or confidential documents been lost in the kingdom's important departments recently that can be put into this box?"
Shade put the black suitcase on his lap. The cat who was placed next to the bench seat immediately jumped up and lay down on the box.
"Agelina, give me a hug."
Shade then handed the troublesome cat to the little princess, who happily hugged Mia. Seeing that Shade was really talking about business, Mia struggled symbolically to show that she was actually unwilling.
"I picked this up from Fort Midhill. It belongs to the Gray Gloves."
"Grey gloves?"
Lesia smiled, not realizing how important this was:
"Our great detective did not forget to contribute to the kingdom at Fort Midhill. Oh, I remembered, you are still an agent of MI6."
The five people in the team all know that "that lady" arranged for Shade to get paid without having to work, but no one knows what Shade's current salary and status are in MI6.
"A detective is both a knight and an agent?"
Agelina, who was holding the cat, whispered, but no one paid attention to her.
"Let me think about it. The kingdom has not lost any important information recently."
Lesia curled her hair around her ears with her fingers and answered.
"So is it possible that important documents or information have been copied?"
“Unlikely”
She raised her eyebrows:
"Except for the four metal plates in your basement, I'm not aware of any important items being leaked recently."
She was referring to the mother of four one-shilling notes.
Agelina looked very curious, but neither Shade nor Lesia wanted to explain.
"So what could it be?"
Shade looked at the suitcase on his lap with a solemn expression.
"Would you know if you open it and take a look?"
Lesia looked past Shade and looked out the car window. It was difficult for her and Agelina to show up, so she could only look at the Terrariel River from this small window. From the time Shade came to the river to now, it was only two days.
Within ten minutes, the last traces of the sunset had disappeared.
On the calm Terrariel River, the lights of steamships dot the river scenery. On both sides of the river are the lights of thousands of families. This is the core city of Tobesk, the Pearl of the North. The firelight of the steam age symbolizes the greatest civilization of this era.
Achievement.
This scene made Lecia Cavendish believe even more firmly that all this was worthy of her.
PS: Guess what’s in the box, someone will guess it right before the evening update, and I’ll add another chapter tomorrow.
