"No problem, here's what I've come to get."
Xia De nodded, and simply rewrapped the cosmetic box with newspaper:
"The lady didn't ask me to bring you the rewards."
"She's paid, she's threatened us, and she's bought this for a low price."
The ring warlock of [Blood of Mercury] said in a muffled voice, and glanced at the stranger:
"You were hired by that lady, right? She didn't want us to know her true identity. But I can probably guess that this kind of behavior must be a witch from the Witch Council, but I don't know who it is. Then Crazy women..."
"You don't have to tell me your guesses."
Xia De stopped the other party, he did not forget that [Blood of Mercury] is not a good person, even if the other party's words are true, it is better to listen less.
"Oh? Are you afraid that you will be silenced if you hear too much news? Those women who claim to have inherited the legacy of the ancient Witch Emperor really hate men. Hiring you is just using you. She probably doesn't want people to know her existence, so You must not know who the other party is. Or...you are not a man at all?"
The other party asked again in a provocative tone, Xia De deliberately sneered to express his disdain, this method of provoking conflicts is too low-level.
Simply ignoring the other party, he stared at the coachman, backed away slowly, and turned his head to leave after reaching a safe distance.
The fog is thick tonight, but it is only a few minutes for the short delivery, and standing in the middle of the bridge makes it difficult to see the bridge entrance clearly.
Seeing that Xia De didn't listen, the man dressed as a coachman wanted to board the carriage and leave from the other direction of Tower Bridge after he laughed. But at this moment, a figure in a black robe and hood suddenly rushed up from under the bridge.
The timing of her presence is clever, taking advantage of both the fog and the relaxation phase after the handover is complete. After boarding the bridge, he rushed to the coachman. The coachman punched forward casually, and the mercury-like liquid wrapped his arm, causing the fist to break through the air and make an astonishing scream.
The hooded figure quickly dodged sideways, and then called out the ring of life amidst the chiming of the bell. The ring of life rotated, the brass-colored enlightenment rune [Man Frozen to Death] flickered, and in the mist of the summer night, there was the rustling sound of water vapor condensing.
Xia De turned around to look at the sudden battle. The mercury on the coachman's fist seemed to have something wrong under the low temperature, but the hooded figure still didn't dare to confront him head-on.
Both of them in the fight summoned their own life rings, and the emergence of steam fog made the vision even more blurred.
"Stranger, this is my conflict with [Blood of Mercury]. This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of here."
A woman's voice came from under the hood, but Xia De, who was about to leave, stopped. He carefully placed the newspaper-wrapped cosmetic box on the bridge, and the life ring belonging to a magician gradually emerged behind him.
"One-ring warlock? Come and help me, you won't suffer."
cried the man of Quicksilver's blood.
"No problem at all."
As Xia De said, he quickly walked towards the two people who were fighting.
The current situation is evenly matched, but the hooded man seems to have the upper hand because of the sneak attack.
The brass-colored inspiration emerging from the surface of the hooded man was fighting against the power of the quicksilver on the coachman's fist. The life rings of both sides rotated, the man in the hood and the coachman were both four-ring warlocks, but obviously the latter was better at fighting head-on.
Xia De had passed through the dense fog on the bridge and approached the two of them, the silver light on his right hand flickered, drawing a bright light in the air. The brilliance was extremely dazzling, appearing on this summer night shrouded in thick fog, it actually made the coachman lose his mind for a moment:
"It's so beautiful... no, why is this light facing me..."
Yinyue's slash hit the face in an instant. Although he saw that the opponent was a one-ring warlock and knew that the power of thaumaturgy would not be very strong, but subconsciously alert in his heart, he still raised his other arm to block it.
Unexpectedly, the silver light actually split a slender wound on the arm, and the blood flowing out from the wound was mixed with silver luster, and soon soaked through the clothes on the shoulder.
"No! How could you split my skin?"
Xia De knew that the huge gap in the number of rings could not be made up by the afterglow state of divinity, so the second light trail of the silver moon came out immediately after. At the same time, silver mist gradually gathered from the surroundings, and Yueying's illusion made him hide his figure from the enemy.
Facing the second moon mark, the coachman chose to dodge immediately this time, but he dodged the light of the silver moon in the distance, but he did not dodge the figure under the hood nearby.
The hooded man grabbed his shoulders, and as his white palms tightened and his knuckles bulged, Xia De understood the meaning of the spell:
Dazzling flames soared into the sky in the night fog, and the coachman caught by the hooded man burned like a torch. With a scream, he broke free from the hooded man's palm, and was chopped off on the left arm by the third silver moon's brilliance.
It still only broke the mercury protection of the inner layer of the skin, but it was not fatal. In the flames, the coachman broke free from the hooded man's grasp, and then jumped into the Tylarell River beside him in the thick fog.
The hooded man hesitated for a moment, then jumped off the bridge following the trail of flames in the air. When Xia De dispelled the illusion and lay on the side of the bridge looking down, he couldn't see the two of them on the water through the thick fog.
So I had to turn on [Blood Echo] to observe the bloodstains. Of course, there were a long series of red halo traces in the air, but after entering the water, the blood was quickly washed away by the water, making it impossible to continue tracking.
"It turns out that the nemesis of the tracking ability [Echo of Blood] is the water surface or the river."
Thinking of this, he shrugged and looked at the frightened horse for a moment before turning around to get the cosmetic box that was placed on the ground.
Five minutes later, Xia De joined the wet Miss Louisa under the bridge. She had already taken off her hood, and her long, drenched blond hair stuck to the side of her face, which further highlighted that the blonde girl was in a bad mood. :
"Good evening, detective. I met you again by coincidence. It's unlucky that he escaped in this situation!"
She said in frustration, and recognized Xia De from the silver moonlight just now. Xia De recognized Miss Louisa based on her voice. This is very simple, her voice is very recognizable.
"It's a coincidence. Someone hired me to pick up an item, and it happened to be here."
He shook the things in his hand.
"I was by the bridge just now, and I saw it. That's the mission of that lady? It's quite simple."
Miss Louisa said while arranging her hair, she didn't really care that the lady's transaction partner was [Blood of Mercury]. As long as it is not in-depth cooperation with [Blood of Mercury], just buying and selling items, this is a very common thing. And according to Xia De's information, "that lady" is of high status and powerful, absolutely impossible to be the partner of [Blood of Mercury].
"Detective, is there still that healing water?"
After tidying up her wet hair and ignoring the dripping clothes, Miss Louisa asked Shad.
"You are hurt?"
As he asked, he took out some water from the small bottle he carried with him, tapped it lightly, and let the water surface radiate a silvery luster.
"It's just a minor injury. He was punched in the river. He seems to have the ability to transform into a fish, or a relic. I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my lungs."
Miss Louisa said, but having learned the lesson of hiccups last time, she only drank a little this time, then avoided Xia De's sight, poured the rest of the water in her abdomen, and then handed the bottle back to Xia De.
During this process, Shad looked aside very gentlemanly, pretending to be interested in the night view of Tower Bridge and Tobesk.
"Do you need [Sindia's Silver Moon Gift]?"
Xia De asked again, handing the robe he used to hide his identity to Miss Louisa who was soaked all over. It was summer now, and the meaning of the robe to Shad was only to hide his identity, not to keep warm.
Miss Louisa didn't expect him to do this. After thanking him in a low voice, she wrapped herself tightly in her robe.
Although she can set others on fire, she cannot use fire to warm and dry herself. After all, no matter which version of the story of Match Girl, Match Girl failed to use flames to redeem herself.
"There is no need for treatment for the time being, that punch does not contain the element of mental attack. Also, your [Silver Moon Slash] is really good. It can break through the defense of a four-ring warlock, but it is still not powerful enough, after all, the number of rings is too low ..."
She sniffed.
The reason Xia De showed up was to help people pick up the goods, and Miss Louisa dressed up like this late at night was still for Dr. Schneider's college reward order.
Although the doctor is now in bed~www.mtlnovel.com~, as a partner, Miss Louisa can still do something.
At present, under the pursuit of the Orthodox Church, the [Blood of Mercury] organization is scattered all over the city. Miss Louisa learned of the transaction that existed tonight while tracking one of the important members. Therefore, he wondered if he could catch someone alive and asked about the [Forged Philosopher's Stone], but he didn't expect that even with Xia De's unexpected help, he still failed.
"Now all the ring warlocks in Tobesk City know that the Church of the Five Gods has reached an agreement. Next week, the Church of the Sun will send a thirteen-ring warlock to fill the temporary vacancy of the thirteen-ring warlock in the Tobesk Diocese. The cultists and [Blood of Mercury] was eager to hide, and scattered those important items and materials in various parts of the city, and ordinary people kept them on their behalf, so now is a good opportunity to find the [Forged Philosopher's Stone]."
"So do we still need to continue to look for the guy who entered the water? If I can find the location where he landed, I think my eyes can find him."
Xia De suggested that as long as the guy is still bleeding, he will leave traces after he comes out of the water.
But shook the item in his hand again:
"I can only stay for half an hour. This thing must be sent to the employer as soon as possible."
