"Miss Louisa, are you sure there is no problem?"
Xia De used [Moon Shadow's Illusion] while asking. Silver mist surged from the surroundings, wrapping him and Miss Louisa in it. The silver moonlight on his fingertips disappeared. Facing the silver mist in front of him, the murloc screamed angrily, but it could only go on a rampage. Its IQ was probably not as good as that of Miya.
"Detective, you can do whatever. What's wrong with me? Treat me later, and you go save the little girl first."
The blond lady said, Xia De then nodded, taking advantage of Miss Louisa's initiative to step out of the illusion range to attract the murlocs, he slipped away from the murlocs with the box in his arms, and ran towards the girl in the alley.
For ordinary people, the out-of-control relic is almost a death situation. Xia De had planned for the worst, but after a little examination, he found that she was just comatose, with a large fish scale on her neck, which can be cured, and this kind of injury does not need [False Immortality] at present.
It seems they came just in time.
He took the girl to the far side of the alley, and when he went to see Miss Louisa again, he saw the life ring on her back spinning, this time it was still the rune of "Frozen to death".
But then, the miracle spirit rune [Ice] also lit up.
Xia De heard Miss Louisa's voice:
"Ichthyosis is not afraid of flames, but freezing!"
The blonde girl stretched her hands forward, and the cold air radiated to the surroundings. A rustling sound could be heard in the mist-filled alley, and the screaming murloc gradually slowed down until he fell to the ground.
"Detective, take her back!"
She said to Shad in the dark.
"Where are you going?"
"The farther the better, cover your ears and squat down."
"Um?"
Although he was puzzled, he still did it. When Xia De finished the action, he saw Miss Louisa take out a spherical object from the robe, first knocked it on the wall, then shook it vigorously, and finally pulled the spherical object The ring on the surface threw it to the frozen murloc on the ground, and finally ran to the depths of the alley in a panic, which was the direction where Xia De and the unconscious little girl were.
Xia De saw behind Miss Louisa, the palm-sized ball-shaped object, which started to spin around after landing, spraying hot white steam towards the surroundings as it turned.
Although he had never seen such an item before, the experience of a foreigner made him guess what it was. Amidst the soft laughter of the woman next to his ears, he covered the ears of the unconscious little girl with both hands, while he curled up with the box between his body and closed his eyes.
Boom~
The flames and loud noises were enough to wake up the two adjacent blocks, and Shad even felt the ground under his feet shake. After the explosion, the ears could not stop buzzing.
Opening his eyes, he saw Miss Louisa, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up. She didn't care to tidy her hair, and turned back to the smoke and dust of the explosion. In a few seconds, he carefully held a black scale and ran towards Xia De, shouting while running:
"Haha, it really is most afraid of the cold! He's dead, I got the [relic]! Detective, run! I'll hold this little girl."
"What did you use just now?"
Shade patted the dirt on his hair while turning around and followed Miss Louisa into the fog along the river bank. The police whistle could already be heard in the distance. They had to run faster, otherwise they would die. He threw himself into the river and escaped.
"Military Drake II integrated steam bomb! This is the most effective against the out-of-control ichthyosis!"
Miss Louisa dropped the dried frog legs in her hand, carried the unconscious little **** her back, held Shade's hand, and jumped to the roof of the nearby house. The two of them, together with the voice, disappeared into the thick fog of the night.
No matter how chaotic the downtown area was, it was not a trivial matter for a steam bomb to explode in the city, so they didn't stop panting in an unlit alley until they ran three blocks away.
The sound of commotion in the distance has already sounded, and teams of policemen can be seen rushing past the alley.
First of all, I checked the condition of the little girl carried by Miss Louisa again. This is probably a girl from a poor family living nearby. The shoes on her feet are showing her toes, her clothes are patched, and her face looks like it hasn't been washed for a long time. pass.
Xia De made some "satiating food" to suppress the spread of fish scales, and then used [Syndia's Silver Moon Gift] to remove the fish scales on Miss Louisa and the girl at the same time. Although this is not a mental problem, the light of the silver moon seems to be able to restrain this disease.
It's just that Xia De is a first-ring warlock, because he has used too many thaumaturgy this night, and he already feels a bit overwhelmed.
During this period, Miss Louisa also introduced the situation of the fish scales that she carefully twisted in her hands.
The fishy smell on that fish scale was very strong.
"A document-level relic [scales of drowned fish scales], I have read information on this thing in the college library. In 2983 of the Fifth Epoch, fishermen on the east coast of the Western Continent accidentally caught it in their fishing nets while they were out fishing. A strange corpse. The monster, with human legs and a complete fish body, is highly decomposed."
Xia De maintained the thaumaturgy in his hand and listened quietly. At close range, the fragrance of Miss Louisa's body is very obvious.
"According to the college's records, the terrified fishermen pushed the corpse back into the sea. But soon after, people in a whole small fishing village developed symptoms of ichthyosis, that is, fish scales appeared on the surface of the body, and the whole body began to rot. Then When the power of the time was not as good as it is now, when the large natural church intervened, the matter was irreversible, and the sea area and area could only be closed.
Miss Louisa held the black fish scale very carefully, any relics should not be underestimated. In the darkness of the alley, the fish scale itself had a deeper darkness.
Of course, the fishy smell is more obvious.
"So, the function of this relic is to cause ichthyosis and turn people into fish? But why did it get out of control?"
"Put the fish scales on the position of your heart, and after touching the water, you can transform your body into the form of a murloc monster. But in this form, you can't be too injured, otherwise the outbreak of ichthyosis is only a moment. It can be understood that using Every second of the scale, the ring warlock must use his body to fight against this fish scale."
She asked for a bottle from Shad, shook it to make water, and put the scales in it. The containment of this relic is very simple, just soak it in water.
It took some time, and before Xia De completely lost his strength, he expelled the fish scales on the little girl and Miss Louisa. There is no convenient way for ring warlocks to replenish their spirits. After all, spirits are not as simple as energy. But fortunately, the spirit rune has the ability to spontaneously transform elements into spirits, coupled with the afterglow of divinity, Xia De recovered quickly.
Later, Miss Louisa woke up the unconscious girl, learned her address from her, and sent her home.
It was a little flower girl named Sophie Days. During the day, she hid some money in an alley, not wanting to be blackmailed by the older kids nearby. Unexpectedly, when I came back to pick it up at night, I encountered a monster unexpectedly.
Miss Louisa used some methods similar to mental suggestion to ensure that little Sophie would not tell what she saw that night. This trick is very effective for the little girl who is confused. After confirming that she had arrived home safely, Xia De and Miss Louisa left.
It's getting closer now, Xia De wants to go back as soon as possible. And Miss Louisa plans to visit Xia De's house in the middle of the night. She is wrapped in Xia De's robe now, she is completely soaked, and there is a strong fishy smell on her body. She can't go home in this state. First borrow Xia De's house to change clothes.
The two walked quickly. On the way, Miss Louisa admitted that although she obtained a [relic], tonight's action can only be regarded as a failure:
"I think it's better to wait for the doctor to recover before acting. The doctor's ring magician ability is quite suitable for reconnaissance and spying activities, which we can't compare to."
[Blood of Mercury]'s ring warlock turned into a murloc. After being frozen, he was blown to pieces by a bomb. The information Miss Louisa wanted was of course impossible to obtain.
The two talked as they walked, and most of the time it was Miss Louisa complaining that she hadn't seized such a good opportunity tonight. Of course, she didn't forget to thank the detective for his help tonight, and the fish scale was regarded as the trophy of the two of them.
Of course, Xia De would not refuse. Although he would not use the [relic] with such a large side effect, he would still be happy to accept it for a penny.
Turning from the street with gas street lamps into the rue du Saint Teresa, Shade was talking to the blond writer while picking up the keys, but saw a four-wheeled carriage with a lighted carriage parked at the door of No. 6.
"oh?"
Miss Louisa wrapped herself in her robe and uttered an interjection with a questioning meaning.
"My employer is here."
Xia De introduced, looked at the carriage, and slowed down. The fishy smell on his body was not very strong, and he hadn't had close contact with murlocs just now.
"It seems that your employer status is very important."
The blonde girl said that Xia De couldn't tell the difference between this carriage and an ordinary carriage, but the female writer with wet hair could tell, and she pointed out:
"Look at the all-metal wrought iron patterns twisted by hand on the edge of the carriage. Although the carriage is painted, the wood can be distinguished. And the coachman..."
The coachman was standing by smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, a small red dot glowing in the dark shadows:
"I bet he is definitely a soldier. Although the carriage does not have a family coat of arms, it must be a noble. No, ordinary nobles are not qualified to use this kind of carriage. Let me think about it. In the current Tobesk City, there are The women who are qualified to use this kind of carriage are still young women, and there must be no more than three."
Miss Louisa talked about it carefully, but Xia De once again thought of the vice-president of St. Byrence, Professor Harmes Sanchez, who mentioned that Miss Louisa had an inexplicable connection with the royal family of the Kingdom of Delarion. , and thus suspect that she is a member of Zarath Academy of Arts, one of the three major thaumaturgy academies.
Priest Augustus, who has lived here for most of his life and has known many important people because of being respected by believers, can't narrow the scope down to such a small one. It seems that Miss Louisa's understanding of the royal family and nobles is really quite good.
"You know so much?"
Xia De took advantage of the opportunity to express his own question, but the female writer answered very naturally and casually:
"For literary creation, I know a lot of knowledge that is not very useful."
While the two were discussing, the car window was pushed open a gap, and the black-haired maid named "Tifa" glanced at Shad, then quickly closed the window.
The whole process takes about a second or two.
"Oh? Why is it still her?"
Miss Louisa sighed again, and Xia De looked at his friend in surprise. The female writer seemed to have recognized the maid.
She hesitated to speak, glanced at Xia De, but said nothing:
"Detective, go see your employer, I won't come near. The fishy smell on my body is too strong."
Miss Dorothy Louisa stopped, but judging by her expression, after Miss Galina's personal maid left, she must have a lot to say.
