"You said Miss Galina is a member of the Witch Council?"
He only learned about this organization in detail from Miss Anat during the day. Not long ago, the maid Tifa even admitted it directly, but he didn't expect Miss Louisa to know about this organization.
"Not only Galina Cavendish, but also her personal maid, Tifa Servet. The witches claim to have inherited the legacy of the last thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era, and formed a council with 13 great witches as the core. , and the rest of the members are also women."
Miss Louisa smiled:
"For those in the know, the Witch Council has another 'elegant name'."
"What?"
Xia De was curious.
"The Association of Handkerchief Lovers."
"Um?"
Xia De was taken aback, and quickly "flicked through" the "Compendium of De La Rion's Common Language" in his head, only then realized that "handkerchief intercourse" also refers to impure **** between women.
"Oh~"
He made such an exclamation sound.
Miss Louisa's information once again verified the statement that "the witches of the Witch Council don't like men".
After finishing talking about Xia De's employer, the two officially started talking about tonight's affairs.
First of all, of course, was Xia De's curiosity. He asked with an expression of awe:
"Miss Louisa, are you still carrying a steam bomb when you go out?"
Of course, he approves of this approach. If he has money, he also wants to bring it.
"Safety first. I bought it from the black market, 10 pounds each. I don't guarantee it will work. Are you interested?"
The female writer asked, Xia De immediately shook his head. This amount of money is enough for Miss Gold to ask Detective Hamilton to find the cat again. Even if he earned money from Miss Galina, found Detective Sparrow's wallet, and even had an income from the Prophet Association in autumn, there was no need to waste it like this.
"But I only have one, and the effect of the steam bomb on the mysterious event is not very significant. This time, if I didn't know that the weak point of the thing is cold, and frozen it, I bet that even if the bomb is inserted into the In the mouth of that disgusting thing, it may not be able to kill it."
Saying that, Miss Louisa put the small bottle filled with fish scales on Shade's coffee table.
The orange cat's eyes lit up, and then Xia De grabbed the back of the neck, put it on his lap and stroked it. The cat let out a lazily cry, resting its chin on Shade's lap. While accepting the petting, the cat turned its head and looked curiously at the small bottle on the table with its big amber eyes.
Xiaoqiao's ears trembled with Xia De's touch, so Mia did not rush out in the end.
"Are you interested in using this relic? To study ichthyosis, or simply as a swimming tool."
asked the woman writer.
Xia De thought about how he turned into a murloc, then thought of the scene where he was being chased by Mia, and shook his head decisively:
"I'm not interested. We don't live in a coastal city like Lengshuigang. We may go to sea, and I don't want to become something weird."
"I'm not interested in holding it either, so ugly... Then after a while, I'll sell it to Papa John, or donate it directly to the Academy. Got the money, and we split it equally. I beat the monster, But it's up to you to find it, so split it evenly."
Fair enough, Goldilocks suggested.
The reason why she didn't sell it to Papa John now is because the incident happened just now, and Miss Louisa thought that the old John would lower the price on the grounds that "this thing is involved in the case and it is difficult to sell it". The reason why he didn't hand it over to the academy immediately was because he wanted to inquire about Old John's bid first.
After all, currently Miss Louisa and Xia De are not in a hurry to spend money.
Of course, Xia De would not rashly keep a young girl at home overnight. Although his house is indeed large and Detective Sparrow's spare room can be used, the relationship between the two is not good enough to stay at home overnight, and they Respect the ladies themselves too.
Therefore, Miss Louisa changed into a warm coat, drank a cup of hot tea with Xia De on the sofa, and left. Before leaving, Miss Louisa also mentioned that although her ring warlock friend, who is not convenient to reveal her identity, is not in Tobesk for the time being, she still has borrowed a copy of the original translation of the fairy tale book "The Little Match Girl". The manuscript of the translation will be brought to him tomorrow, that is, during the study session on Saturday afternoon.
"Do I need to be thanked? And about the ad in the Daily Steambird."
When the two were saying goodbye in the hall downstairs, the detective holding the cat asked.
"If you want to thank you, then tell me your detective story when you have time. After the exam season ends in July, "The Mystery of Scarlet Letters" will be officially serialized in "Steambird Daily."
She stood on the stone steps at the door and said, looked left and right to see that there was no one in the square, and asked again:
Xia De held the door and thought about his timetable:
"We can go together. Anyway, I'm still reading at home. Why don't you go out for a walk...Since we're talking about this topic, Miss Louisa, what are you going to do the night after tomorrow, that is, the weekend night?"
Miss Louisa took a look at Xia De:
"What, do you want to ask me out? I'm sorry, Luvia invited me to the opera."
Answer generously, if Xia De really wants to date Goldilocks, he will probably be very disappointed.
But the young outlander obviously didn't mean it that way, he explained:
"No, no, no, I just want to confirm that you don't want to go to the poker game. It's good to go to the opera. I wish you a good time."
He said fortunately, the blond writer frowned and cast doubtful eyes, seeing that Xia De didn't intend to explain, he waved to him:
"Then see you tomorrow afternoon. Detective, I'll return this suit to you after I wash it. Good night."
After finishing speaking, he wrapped his coat, turned around and walked into the dark night, leaving the detective and the cat at his feet to watch the peaceful night.
The light in the foyer made their shadows stretch out very long on the street around the square. Shaking shadows seemed to foretell what was about to happen.
(Mia is running...)
The outsiders in the story come to different worlds, and they often have lofty goals to achieve. And Xia De's goal is naturally the road to the sublimation of the twelve gods, but because the upgrade speed of the ring warlock system is too slow, what he can do now is to deal with his daily life first.
A week after the Lakeview Manor time, he came into contact with the two relics of [Happy Dream Pen] and [Scale of Drowned Murloc], which can be regarded as gaining insight. But with the attitude of completing the things in hand as much as possible, on the following Saturday morning, Xia De did not go out to "explore" the city, but worked hard to translate "The Four Elements of Chasing: Wind" entrusted by Miss Louisa to translate. And Fire", all translations have been completed. And in strict accordance with her request, it is only a general translation and not detailed.
This is much more difficult than direct translation.
If it weren't for the "divine afterglow" state, which can shield the spiritual pollution from abnormal knowledge, Xia De might have to spend another half a week.
He woke up on Saturday morning, got food for himself and the cat, and went to work right away. In the past, Mr. Sparrow ordered milk from Silver Parrot Milk Distribution Company, but Xia De didn’t have time to go there for the time being, and milk was not a necessity, so he thought about waiting until the end of this month to renew Mia’s goat milk.
His hard-working spirit even made another temporary member of the family, the small orange cat, a little worried about Xia De's health. Xia De believed that if there were no mice in the house, Mia would probably get a dead mouse to nourish him.
"Speaking of which, why do you feel that you are getting smarter recently? Is it because I use too many elements by your side?"
He asked during the break while holding the cat, but the ignorant cat just rested lazily in Xia De's arms.
"Is Mia a normal cat?"
Now that I thought of this question, I asked in my heart, this kind of plot is very common in the stories that Xia De has read.
[A normal cat has no traces of elements and spirits. 】
Although "she" cannot be omnipotent, if the existence of a saint deliberately hides herself, "she" probably won't feel it. But the coquettish cat in front of him doesn't look like a strange thing in disguise, so Xia De thinks that Mia has become smarter recently, which is probably just his own illusion.
Because of the special ability of being proficient in words, it is not difficult to help Miss Louisa translate the book. On the contrary, after the complete translation, Xia De feels that he has learned something from the story of the book.
"The Four Elements of Pursuit: Wind and Fire" could have obtained the spiritual runes related to "wind" and "fire", and then superimposed the sudden improvement of the spell "ignite" after Shade told the story in the past not long ago—
He squinted his eyes to see the jumping flames at his fingertips, but nothing happened. It seemed that the enlightenment from translating the book was not enough to bring about transformation. This accumulation will settle down until it is completely sublimated.
"However, translating ancient mysticism books seems to deepen my feelings about elements more than reading books... Well, a very good idea."
After eating lunch at 11:30 in the morning and playing with Miya for a while, I sorted out my recent financial situation, and added the record of "nothing happened today, my deposit has been reduced" in the diary left by the detective. Set off.
In the doctor's bedroom on the third floor of the Schneider Psychological Clinic this afternoon, when Xia De handed "The Four Elements of Chasing: Wind and Fire" and the translation written by himself to the blond writer, Miss Louisa, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was quite shocked. surprise:
"Detective~www.mtlnovel.com~ I thought you would be very busy, you wouldn't spend your whole week translating this book, would you?"
"The end of this month is the exam week. Since I got paid, of course I won't delay your business."
Xia De said reservedly, without showing a complacent expression.
Miss Louisa looked down at Xia De's handwritten manuscript, and whispered that his handwriting was a bit ugly. But this is also something that can’t be helped, Xia De is not very used to writing in alphabetic characters.
Professors from St. Byrence will appear in today's study session, but before that, the five of them still have to follow the normal process.
Everyone arrived on time, but it was only three days before the meeting on Tuesday, and the others didn't have much to share, but most of them were worried about the exam week at the end of the month, which made Xia De feel like he was back in the past.
The window was open in the bedroom, and the warm summer sun shone into the room from the window, extending to the bed, making the metal pillars of the four-poster bed shine, and making the still weak Dr. Schneider look more refreshed.
Although it is still foggy in the city, at least it is a good day.
