"Good evening, why didn't you see that cute cat last time?"
The elf girl seemed to be in a good mood. After she sat down, she ordered a glass of butter beer from the approaching waiter quite familiarly. Strictly speaking, this drink is not a drink, because it contains no alcohol at all:
"Do you know that the tavern in St. Byrence has been refusing to sell me this drink."
"Why?"
Luvia asked, and the elf girl said half annoyed:
"The dwarf bartender uncle said the college wouldn't let him sell alcohol to underage elves, not even when I was... years old. I tried to buy alcohol at the greedy goblin's shop across the street from the wand, but that **** goblin Would rather sell me an ether decay alchemy bomb than sell me alcohol."
She was deliberately vague about her exact age.
Both Xia De and Luvia smiled, and the latter even said:
"Actually, it's really not suitable for minors to drink alcohol. Yes, I know that butter beer has no alcohol."
"Based on past standards, Miss Emilia is actually an adult. After the establishment of St. Byrence, the standard of adulthood was redefined for the elf race."
Shad pointed out.
"Yes! That's right! According to the customs of the ancient era, I am actually an adult!"
The elf girl agreed with Xia De's opinion, of course, she didn't forget the business of coming here:
"Mr. Hamilton, here is the information you want. The college actually doesn't have much investigation report on the Randall Valley..."
Having said that, I am still a little worried that Xia De is not satisfied with the results of his investigation:
"However, when I checked the information in the library last week, I found that Miss Daniste had ordered all the information about the Randall Valley to be gathered together. The college seems to have a special operation for this place. I heard that the dense forest in the next dormitory Elf-senpai said that the Academy of Astronomy is already preparing to send a professor to this city.”
"No no, your information is very valuable. And the time key you gave me last time was of great help."
Xia De said immediately, and exchanged glances with Luvia, both of them understood that the affairs of the "Earth's Chosen One" in Randall Valley City had been completely exposed. The church chose to arrest those cult members who may have clues last weekend, and it is probably for this reason.
"Here's the poem of the week."
Xia De handed her the notebook that had been copied in advance, and it is not suitable to use thaumaturgy in public:
"Also, if it's not necessary recently, please try not to appear in the city."
Xia De kindly warned
"The last time we met, your little beast felt evil. Then I investigated, and it was most likely a demon."
"demon?"
Luvia raised her eyebrows, Xia De hadn't had time to tell her about this. Miss Elf was startled, and then her face flushed, as if she was very excited:
"Is it the dangerous demon in the legend? Oh, I only read it in books, and it is said that as long as you see them, you will be unlucky!"
"The evil spirits of the third era are quite old and powerful. That evil spirit has been here for at least a hundred years. It's hard to imagine what kind of power it has. You must be careful."
Xia De warned, worried that Miss Elf, who had never experienced danger, would accidentally encounter a demon. Fortunately, St. Byrence's education is still very comprehensive. Although Emilia looks excited, she also knows what it means:
"Then, apart from coming to see you every week, I haven't been wandering around here lately... This is for you. It was originally intended to be sold on the black market, but I think you need it more."
She handed each of Xia De and Luvia an amulet woven with white hair, and the amulet also had an elf rune representing "protection":
"This is the "Amulet of Protection Against Evil" made of unicorn hair, unicorn broken horn fragments and unicorn blood. Don't worry, my job is to raise them. These materials are collected daily. The academy won't care about the loss."
The elf girl said it quite proudly, so Xia De and Luvia did not refuse.
Although Xia De has [Demon Hunting Seal], which is specially designed to deal with demons, the doctor said that he should not expose the equipment of the demon hunter until he finds the demon itself, so it is appropriate to carry this amulet.
The two unicorn amulets are very valuable, but the elf girl didn't ask for the money from Shad and Luvia. The three chatted about the recent news in the city, and then the elf girl got up and prepared to return to the academy.
Xia De and Luvia sent her to the carriage at the door of the hotel, and then watched the carriage go away.
"I'll have dinner with the witch in a while, don't rush home, tell me about the devil first."
Luvia turned and looked at Xia De
"Did you already know about this? Something to do with that weird Stone Oxenfurt?"
"I haven't investigated this matter clearly yet, and I will talk to you in detail when I have some clues. It's dangerous... However, it's okay not to rush home."
The purple-eyed girl nodded reservedly:
"You can talk to me about what you and they read last night."
Since the appointment letter had been sent to Oxenfurt Manor the day before, Shad set off from the city of Randall Valley City early on Tuesday morning and rode to Oxenfurt, which is far outside the city. Special ancestral house.
The thaumaturgy provided by the doctor [Vision] has been learned. This time, apart from returning the medal and investigating the statue, Xia De made up his mind to find out who the ancient demon hidden in the city is.
Riding from the Wilde Opera House at 8:30 in the morning, it was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at the old manor outside the city.
After crossing the bridge and passing through the forest, I saw the manor that seemed to have weaker light than other places. The crow quacked and flew over Shade's head and flew towards the interior of the manor, but soon flew away in panic and disappeared into the distance of the gloomy sky.
When he got off his horse at the gate of the manor, the old housekeeper was already waiting for Xia De.
He opened the gate to help Shad hold the horse, and then told Shad:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Watson. The master received a letter from the city half an hour ago. He has gone to the city, but he said he will be back at noon."
"It's okay, I can wait."
Xia De didn't care about this, but followed the old butler into the slightly gloomy manor. The manor is on the delicate edge of "abandoned" and "in use". Weeds can be seen everywhere around the walls, but you can also see the flower beds that have been tidied up, and the gazebo that looks like it has just been repaired.
The doctor warned that although the thaumaturgy [Vision] is safe, there is a possibility of being discovered, so it is best not to use it frequently. Xia De planned to meet Oxenfurt himself before using it, so he did nothing along the way, but waited until the old housekeeper delivered the horse to the backyard stables before following him into the mansion.
Here is the same as last time, there is no trace of any living people's activities at all. The interior of the gloomy building was obviously free of dust, and it was cleaned quite cleanly. There were even many portraits hanging there, but because of the dim light, the wallpaper turned a cloudy yellow color, making it look extraordinarily gloomy.
After waiting in the lounge for a while, Xia De unexpectedly found that it was snowing outside the window, which reminded him that the last time it seemed that shortly after he came here, there were snowflakes in the sky.
But before Xia De had any other thoughts about the snow in late winter, Seaweed Oxenfurt, wearing a black veil, walked in with her weird maid.
Xia De stood up from the sofa, greeted with a smile:
"Long time no see, Mrs. Oxenfurt."
"Good day, Mr. Watson."
The woman's voice was still so indifferent, she ordered the maid who lowered her head to prepare tea, and then the host and the guest sat down on the sofa.
"Vision!"
The only abnormality brought about by the use of thaumaturgy is that the eyes feel a slight chill. Then the field of view becomes like a strange fish-eye lens, blurred at the edges and sharp in the center.
The original normal world has changed, and there are snowflakes around Haihong Oxenfurt. considering【
Sightseeing] is a detective thaumaturgy specifically for demons, which explains the first clue:
"Demons are associated with snow."
"Mr. Watson, here you go again."
The woman said softly that she wrote in the air with her fingers last time, warning Xia De not to come again.
"Coincidentally, I picked up another thing belonging to Mr. Oxenfurt."
Shard said, and before the woman asked:
"Your husband won't let me tell you about it, so I can't say what it is."
The woman was silent for a moment:
"I didn't tell him about the wedding ring last time, but you sent it back."
Shad just smiled
"I'm just doing something good. I just hope it doesn't ruin your relationship. Speaking of which, Mr. Oxenfurt is really busy."
"He and Prince William of Anjou discovered gold mines in the mountains."
The woman spoke in an indifferent voice about the rumors that have been raging in the city recently. Of course, Xia De already knew that the gold mine was fake, and it was to cover up the silver mine in the outer sea.
"That's quite a feat, ma'am. People in town say your husband is a marvelous man."
At this time the maid came back pushing the creaking dining car, Xia De did not stop his words:
"Restore family glory from scratch~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now the business is getting bigger and bigger. In the era when the steam industry was booming, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but I have been traveling in the Old Continent for so long, and someone as powerful as your husband Characters are indeed rare.”
The black veil was very thin, but Xia De didn't observe the woman's smile because of her praise, she just said:
"He always wins, wins at everything."
Stone Oxenfurt also decided to entrust Shad to find three items because Shad had won him three times in "Lord Card", "Horse Racing" and "Dice Gambling".
"Luck is also a part of strength, and I envy this kind of luck."
As he spoke, he took the teacup handed by the maid, and then blinked again:
"Vision."
Just as Shad expected, the maid also had an abnormality. Under the effect of the thaumaturgy, her skin was actually a blue stone color.
