Mr. Oxenfurt shook his head and put the ring back on his rough finger:
"Thank you for your kindness, Haela and I...something happened once. She didn't let you tell about it? She always does, but I'm still sorry that you didn't tell the truth, I was Thought you could be friends."
Listening to his words, Shad looked at Mr. Oxenfurt's friends who were setting fire, trying not to show too contemptuous expressions:
"To me, you and your wife are just strangers. I met her first, so I agreed to her request."
"You sympathize with my wife? Guess there is something wrong with our relationship?"
Mr. Oxenfurt frowned and asked, his gray-blue eyes were reddened by the reflection of the fire. Xia De smiled:
"I'm not a nosy person, and your wife obviously knows you better than me. Of course I would pity a woman whose feelings have been frustrated, but I don't know you at all, I don't know you except your name Any other information other than information. Under such circumstances, it is only the behavior of knights to speculate on the situation of others with one's own thoughts, and even reach out to help others."
For Xia De, at least someone has to ask him for help clearly, and offer a clear price - even if it is only 1 penny, before he will consider whether to help.
[Last summer, when you helped that woman find a child, you didn't consider the price. ] "She" said with a sudden smile.
"That time was for psychological satisfaction, and that woman is not weird at all." Shade responded in his heart, and Mr. Oxenfurt nodded:
"I probably understand what kind of person you are. Compared with a writer, you are actually more suitable to be a detective."
"Coincidentally, I am conceiving a detective. Just like the "Hamilton Detective Stories Collection" by Delarion, it is really enviable that a book can take a lifetime."
After finishing speaking, Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Mr. Oxenfurt, did you really come to me today to talk to me about [Founding Earth]?"
He looked at the increasingly powerful scene of fire again:
"If there is nothing else, I think it's time to leave." "It's really about [Founding·Earth]."
Mr. Oxenfurt stopped him, and after taking back the ring, his two strong arms hugged his chest again:
"[Founding Land] is not in my hands, but I know where it is. Do something for me, and I can tell you how to find him."
"I don't know how to set fire." "No, I don't set fire." "Why are you looking for me?" Xia De pointed to himself:
"I said, I'm just an ordinary writer." "But you beat me, twice."
Oxenfurt stretched out his hand again, with a very serious face, which greatly enhanced his fierce look: "You beat me, which proves that you are better than me. If you don't believe it..."
He looked at the horses of himself and his companions, who were immediately strapped with guns and swords.
"I won't fight guns or swordsmanship with you here, I don't know these things." Shad said immediately, so Stone Oxenfurt took out a dice from his pocket: "Let's guess the size of the points, Closer than anyone else's guess. My guess is 1."
Xia De frowned: "6."
The ivory-like dice was thrown, and then fell directly to the ground. After bouncing a few times, it stopped when it touched the seam of the ground. The upward side is 5.
Shad remained silent, and Mr. Oxenfurt snorted:
"Sure enough...help me find something. When I married Haila two years ago, in addition to this family ring, I also gave her the ancestral "Caseric third-class battle hero badge"—probably Obtained from the battle with Delarion from the ancestors 300 years ago, and a glass-encrusted sapphire earring. The main body is sapphire, and a drop of my blood is sealed in the glass pendant..."
It sounds very romantic.
"These three items are all lost, don't ask why, that's my family business. Now that the ring is recovered by you, if you can bring me the other two, you will know who owns [Genesis·Earth] .And, I have the confidence to persuade the other party to give it to you."
"They were also thrown into the river
up? "
"It could be in the river, but it could be anywhere in the city, I can only guarantee that the badge and ears
Still falling in the Randall Valley. Originally I didn't expect them to come back, but now that you found the ring, I think you might have found the other two items as well. "
Xia De pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment:
"I accept the deal, but I can't guarantee that I'll find it. After all, I'm John Watson, the author, not Hamilton, the famous detective in the storybooks."
"It doesn't matter, whether I can find it or not is not particularly important to me. Later, I will send someone to send the photos of the two jewelry to Fengrao Dadi Hotel."
"Okay, then we're done. Good cooperation."
Just as Shad thought, Mr. Oxenfurt's hands were extremely rough. Of course, Xia De didn't have Director An Luosi's method of judging other people's occupations by shaking hands, but he could also judge that the other party was more suitable for holding a knife or a gun.
[Ordinary people, at least according to the current contact, they are ordinary people. 】
The two didn't let go after shaking hands, Mr. Oxenfurt suddenly forced:
"When you find the other two pieces of jewelry, just bring them to me, not to my wife. In addition to [Founding·Earth], I can give you an additional reward."
"Thank you very much for your generosity. In addition, next time you invite me, please don't be in this kind of place. I will think that you are trying to threaten me."
Feeling the strength on the palm, Xia De also exerted a little force.
The firelight illuminated the profiles of the two men shaking hands, Stone Oxenfurt frowned slightly, and Shad stared at him. The fire gave the illusion that their faces in the shadows were shaking. The setting sun had already set below the city, and the clearer shadows were shaking with the firelight.
Five seconds later, both Shad and Mr. Oxenfurt let go of each other's hands. Xia De didn't use his full strength, so he was slightly disadvantaged. But considering his self-proclaimed career as a writer, this "slight underdog" is also normal.
"You have good strength, you don't look like a writer."
"Writers who travel in the Old World, if they don't have the strength, they don't know where they are buried. I never underestimate the risk of traveling alone."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Mr. Oxenfurt said, Shad nodded, and turned to the horse tied in the woods.
Shade was still thinking about Mr. Oxenfurt as he rode back to town. There is definitely something wrong with this man, this is the hint given by Xia De's sixth sense. What's more, none of the people who have been associated with the [Vientiane Impermanence Card] in the past is a normal person, so he won't take any chances.
And now the only question is what his problem is:
"Is he the chosen one? But Luvia said that the chosen one cannot be an ordinary person."
When riding back to the city, it was already completely dark. As Shad rode past the street lights, the dim lights were turned on one by one, providing the city with night light.
At the Wilde Opera House, Miss Bernanise is directing the young girls of the troupe to rehearse a new opera, and Shad notices that she uses the unicorn song he brought back from the Fifth Age.
"Is Miss Lathers there?"
Shad also walked into the small hall on the side of the second floor. Miss Benanis asked the girls who were singing loudly on the stage to rest for a while, and then asked Shad to sit down in the first row and talk:
"What, do you have something to do with her? What private matters can you and Sirius have?" He said that his tone was a bit wrong, but fortunately, Xia De didn't hear it at all:
"I want to track down a perfectly carved stone statue, which may be related to the Stonemasons Association." He took out a photo of the stone statue, and Miss Benanis took a look:
"It's too vague, I don't have much impression. She went to the banquet on my behalf. This time it was the local Earl Johnson, who invited William Anjou and Margaret to the banquet. She seemed to want to introduce her daughter to William Anjou. Ru. If you are in a hurry to find her, just go directly, I still have an invitation here."
"Don't worry, I will use a time key later, and it will be the same when I come back tomorrow morning." Xia De said slightly relaxed:
"After all, today is Sunday, there is no need
Push yourself too hard. "
"I always feel that you are busy, always running around, looking serious. If you have nothing to do tonight, how about staying with me and watching the rehearsal? If you want to hear me sing, I can do the same as last week Sing it to you." The blond witch smiled, and wanted to return the photo to Xia De, but after taking a closer look, she felt that the face of the stone statue was very familiar:
"It's a bit like Sirius' father Owen Lathers, you can ask her."
The last time Shade showed the picture of "Mr. Thomas Granger", Miss Benanis also asked Miss Lathers to see if it was his missing father.
"Is it similar?"
"I haven't seen that Mr. Owen Lathers, I just saw old photos. Besides, your photo of the stone statue is too blurry, I can't be sure. Besides, in my opinion, men of this age generally only have a few appearances. Without the distinction of height, weight and clothing, it is difficult to judge identity."
Sure enough, the witches are not interested in men at all:
"So, I can only say that it's very similar, but I'm not sure~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De nodded, wondering why the statue of Miss Lassus' missing father was in the church, so he asked casually:
"I've always heard that Miss Lassus is the leader of an old **** sect. May I ask which old **** she believes in?"
When the question was asked, Xia De blinked suddenly, wondering that he had never asked this question for so long. But if you think about it carefully, this question does not seem to be important.
"Um?"
When he realized what he had neglected subconsciously and realized the impact of "forgetting" and "neglecting", his whole body seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, and it seemed that he was hit in the face by Miya. The thoughts were quickly cleared up, and the thoughts that had been ignored again and again finally became completely clear at this moment.
