The six people took two carriages and arrived at the Three Cats Inn. The doctor took them to see the innkeeper and asked for the keys to the rooms they had booked in advance. Mrs. Sangmei, the innkeeper who was very familiar with Shade, met with the three cats.
He is a friend of Sha De, and he even smiled and said that he would reduce the rent for them:
"Detective, you must always come and take care of my business."
"Mr. Hamilton is very respectable in Tobesk."
Behind Shade, Amelia pulled Dorothy's sleeve and said softly:
"I knew he was very powerful before, Miss Louisa. Isn't he famous in the city?"
Most students at school know about Tobesk's famous detective from Dorothy's novels.
Miss Writer smiled and nodded. She had a very good impression of Emilia. Just as she was about to explain Shade's reputation in the city, a noisy voice came from the hotel door behind everyone.
Turning around to look, a group of police officers in police uniforms walked in from the door. Mrs. Sangmei hurriedly left the counter to greet them. After saying a few words at the door, she reassured the guests not to panic. The police were just looking for a
A wanted man, so go upstairs and check the room.
"Church people."
Dr. Schneider spoke softly, with the volume controlled so that only a few people near the counter could hear clearly. He and Dorothy moved their positions slightly to cover the three people behind them, but Dorothy soon started laughing.
Shade also knew that these were people from the church, because in addition to the normal police officers, there were two "employees" of the Blackstone Security Company in the team. Standing at the end of the team, holding a record book, he seemed to be in charge of recording.
"The female police officer" took notes, and when she raised her head and looked around, she happened to look into Shade's eyes.
Iluna Bayas suppressed the smile that was about to show on her face, looked around, and after making sure that no one was watching her, she put up the notebook in her hand to cover the lower half of her face, and then faced
Shade blinked.
The eighteen-year-old girl's touching eyes and the affection in her eyes made even Shade blush for a moment. Seeing that Shade was a little afraid to look at her, Iluna felt sorry for Luvia in her heart.
I especially appreciated her training expression.
The police quickly took action, and the people standing at the counter preparing to rent a house naturally needed to be interrogated. But Dorothy gave Dr. Schneider a look, and the latter was no longer so nervous.
But the three people from the academy were extremely nervous. Emilia even moved behind Shade and tugged on the hem of his clothes, hoping that Shade's body would cover her. Then she saw the cat's tail dangling in front of her eyes.
As she walked away, she saw herself being glared at by the young female police officer, which made her even more nervous.
"Good morning, Detective Hamilton, are you here to investigate a case?"
Although Sha De did not know the police officers, the police sergeant who led the team knew the gentleman in front of him. He greeted Sha De warmly, and Sha De also introduced that he was entrusted by someone to bring him to the police.
Rent for three people to spend the summer in the city of Beysk.
The sergeant glanced at the three people who seemed to have something wrong with their expressions, and then looked back at the old man and female police officer in the team. Shade and Blackstone Security Company had cooperated last month, so the two parties were quite familiar with each other. So they were friendly again.
After saying a few words, they didn't even talk directly to Emilia and the three of them. They just listened to Shade introduce the origins of the three of them and let them pass the inspection:
"I wish you a pleasant stay in Tobesk, but the city is not very safe recently, so don't stay out very late at night."
The kind-hearted sergeant said, and then led the team upstairs to continue the inspection.
But Emilia, who breathed a sigh of relief, noticed that the female police officer in the team looked at her again before going upstairs, which made her wonder if there was something wrong with the charm she was wearing.
After checking in, the six of them went upstairs together. Of course, the three guests from afar were staying in single rooms. Dr. Schneider helped Mr. Rio Emhyr to see the room, and Miss Matila Deras went with
Dorothy got to know the environment together, and Amelia followed Shade into her room.
When there was no one else around, the blond elf walked around in the room where he would live for a month, opened his arms as if to embrace the sun and praised:
"This is what freedom tastes like!"
"After what happened in Randall Valley, you never left school again?"
Shade asked while teasing the cat on his shoulder. Emilia turned to look at him with a pitiful look on her face and nodded quickly:
"Yes, yes, although Miss Daniste said she would not hold me responsible, and the college did not mention this matter again, she still wrote a letter and told my family about it."
The young elf pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was easy to read:
"I finally managed to go out this time, but you would never have guessed that Mr. Emhyr and Miss Dras were both sent by my family to monitor me. They are both half-elves, and they can probably be considered relatives of me. This way of forming a team
, can I still not understand?”
"After all, this is the core parish of the Five Gods Church. The management is stricter than that of the Randall Valley parish. It's better to be more cautious."
Although her companions were related to her family, Amelia was not disappointed at all. Instead, she walked to the window again, stood there and looked out:
“Pearl of the North - Tobesk City. It’s so nice here.”
She had taken off her hat, and even the charm had been temporarily removed. The blond elf girl with pointed ears stood in the hotel room window of the steam city and saw the bustling square in the lower city, which was more shocking than any other scene.
.
"It's a pity that I left my little Lianna. I can't see her for a month. I'm really worried about her health. I'll bring her some candies when I go back."
"Liana" is the name of the young unicorn.
"Can unicorns eat candy? I have a nice jar of honey there that you can take with you when you leave."
"Meow~"
"I can buy more, don't get angry. Did you understand what I said just now?"
The silly cat rubbed Shade's hand, of course unable to give an answer.
"Anyway, summer has begun. Welcome to Tobesk City, Emilia."
Shade said seriously, and the elf girl turned around again and looked at Shade with her big beautiful eyes:
"After we finish our work, can I go to your house to play with you? Then please take me around the city. The next time I want to come to Tobesk, I don't know how many years it will be."
"Of course, my family lives here."
He gave his business card to Amelia:
"If you encounter trouble in the city, you can come to me here. If I'm not at home, just leave a letter. I still have a lot of face in the city."
Then Emilia also thought of the scene just now:
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to know people from the local church. This is even better than when I was in Randall Valley. I have always known that correspondence students are very capable, but you must be the most capable among them."
!”
Because during the Battle of Randall Valley, Shade went to Emilia to help find the "Night Road", so the elf girl could vaguely sense something.
"What do the students at school think of us correspondence students?"
"Good at fighting, often killing people, meeting in secret while wearing a hood while being pursued by the church, and trading illegal items in the alleys at night."
At the end of the sentence, Amelia herself laughed. She knew the correspondence students in the Randall Valley area, and of course she knew that this stereotype was not entirely wrong.
Dr. Schneider spent his own money to treat everyone to lunch at the Three Cats Hotel. After lunch, he said goodbye to the three people at the college, but the doctor also left his contact information to prevent them from asking for help when they encountered problems.
No help is available.
Of course, before leaving, Shade also gave the elf girl the contact information of many local black markets, which were far more numerous than the only large-scale trading place introduced by the doctor. Judging from the way Emilia's eyes were shining, she probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
Go out and do some shopping. But Shade is not worried about her safety. It is Tobesk in the summer of 1854, not the summer of 1853. Compared to Yuewan where he is conducting investigation work, Tobesk is definitely safer.
zone.
So the summer practice activities of Emilia and the three of them officially began. Although the elf girl really wanted to go to Shade's house today, considering that she had just arrived in Tobesk, there were still many things to do and she still needed to get familiar with it.
Depending on the circumstances, we can only give up temporarily.
She and her companions talked about the local scenery and future sightseeing plans, and returned to the third floor of the hotel to continue cleaning up the room. In addition to Schneider's team, the college also arranged other contacts for them, and they would meet in the afternoon.
And when Emilia took out the room key and opened the door, the door of the room next to her also happened to be opened. The middle-aged woman with a kind face smiled and greeted the elf girl:
"Oh, good afternoon, miss. Do you live next door?"
"Yes, ma'am, good afternoon."
Emilia also responded, but she actually didn't want to talk too much to strangers. She didn't have the racial concept of "elf supremacy", she just didn't want to cause trouble when she went out, and her enthusiasm just now was just because she knew Shade.
But the middle-aged woman next door didn't seem to notice this, and even enthusiastically invited her to be a guest next door, but of course Emilia refused.
However, they still told each other their names. The elf girl used a pseudonym because her last name was too elf-like. At the same time, she also learned that the Goodman family lived next door.
"Interesting last name."
Thinking in her mind, she closed the door and took out Shade's business card and held it in her hands. She smiled and imagined how she would spend this summer that would surely be a pleasant one after the college's mission was over. But outside the closed door
, the other side of the room is clearly the wall at the end of the corridor.
