But no matter what, now that the first floor of Saint-Andrés Square has been opened, the house suddenly has such a large space, and Shade still needs to consider how to use it.
Returning from the basement to the first floor, looking at the open space, Xia De, who knew the new secret, was in a very good mood:
"The statue of the ancient **** is underground. According to the experience of a hundred years, this will affect the ordinary people upstairs, so if you want to rent it out, you can't rent it to ordinary people rashly."
There is no need to have similar concerns when renting to a ring warlock, but Xia De doesn't know a ring warlock with a good relationship who can live together. Among the other four people in the group, except for Miss Louisa, everyone else has a good residence. And Xia De is not yet reckless enough to invite a single, unmarried blonde girl to live with him.
But thinking about it carefully, he is not very short of money now. If you want to buy expensive relics and knowledge, rent is not enough, so renting out the house is not a must.
Thinking of this, Xia De temporarily abandoned the plan to rent out the first floor.
He walked down the stairs to the second floor, planning his future:
"When you have money, you can consider asking a maid to help clean the house like Professor Manning did. Cleaning up the house by yourself is a waste of time now...Take the first floor and the basement as a space for storing sundries for the time being, Xiaomi Ya would probably like a place to walk...but even then it would cost a fortune to reconnect the steam and gas pipes..."
While thinking about the trivial matters in his life, he walked up the curved stairs, feeling that the first floor was reopened, and the expenses he needed to pay seemed to be even greater.
When I pushed open the door on the second floor, I looked up and thought about the time, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening. There are still two hours before the time we agreed with Miss Louisa to visit the girl Sophie.
So, taking advantage of the time, I first wrote the report on the application for consulting the "Code of Sublimation", and sent it to the college through the pages of the manuscript in my hand, and then opened and flipped the pages of the story borrowed from Miss Louisa's friend. look.
Mia, who was locked in the room by Xia De, wanted to play with Xia De for a while, but Xia De, who was looking forward to the translation of the translation of the first draft of the story, could only refuse the orange cat's request, but still I found a ball of wool and let it play by itself.
After washing his hands, he solemnly sat down at the desk, and only then opened the cloth that wrapped the pages.
It seems that books describing mysterious powers don't like to use ordinary paper as a carrier. The book that Miss Louisa lent to Xia De used an unknown leather material as the pages, and it was very smooth to the touch.
At the top of the page numbered 1, the name of this story is clearly written in ancient language—
"The Little Match Girl".
"This is it!"
He looked at the first page with anticipation, and carefully read the strange words that were densely packed like dancing matchsticks. Then it took about ten minutes to read the story of the poor match girl in the snowy night carefully and carefully from beginning to end.
Nothing happened.
Even though this is a page with special power, the feeling after reading it through is not even as good as telling the story to three children in the past.
"This is a bit troublesome... Do I really need to find the original manuscript before I can gain great power?"
Looking at the moonlit night outside, he thought in annoyance, and then looked down at the letters on the page. He admits it's a good story, but Shad doesn't like stories with sad endings.
Miss Louisa knocked on the door downstairs at ten o'clock, and Xia De, who was already prepared, set off directly with her. By the way, he returned those pages of story paper to her:
"Is this all used up? Can you really understand the text on it? The [Time and Space] rune is so powerful?"
While speaking, Miss Louisa rolled up the paper and stuffed it into her pocket. Ring Warlocks need spell-casting materials to cast spells, so even in summer, most people avoid wearing clothes without pockets, which is why Shad also wears a coat in summer.
In this world, there is no such thing as a convenient "space ring".
The steam bomb explosion happened last night, and the alley is still blocked. Although the murloc was blown to pieces by Miss Louisa, the traces left behind still attracted the attention of the church.
Therefore, when they went to the little girl Sophie's house, they deliberately chose a detour to avoid the location of the alley.
The girl Sophie Days was born in a poor family, otherwise there would be no need for such a young child to sell flowers. The Dyces lived in a slum on the banks of the Terra Real River, a family of five crammed into a house about the size of the Shade's basement.
Last night, the two of them sent the girl to the door of their house and watched her enter the house before leaving. But today I have to see the girl with my own eyes to confirm whether she is healthy, so I have to think of another way.
When I set off with the blond female writer, I could still see the starry sky when I looked up, but when I walked halfway, the thick fog surged up, causing Miss Louisa to complain about the factories in the city.
It was around ten twenty in the evening when we arrived near the slums on the banks of the Terraria River. At night like this, even idlers would not go out to wander around.
Miss Louisa had already made a very well-planned plan, so after entering the dark alley where Daisy's house was located, the two went directly to knock on the door.
There are no lights in the alley, and poor families usually go to bed early at night, so there are no lights. The sound of knocking on the door seemed to be able to wake up the nearby houses, at least the Daisy's house was woken up.
The flames of candles were lit in the room, and it took at least two minutes before a nervous man's voice came from the door:
Even where Captain Ladds lives, there are gunshots from gangsters from time to time, and the slums where the girl Sophie Deiss and her family live are even worse. Xia De could fully imagine that the man who was asking questions behind the door was holding a weapon like a kitchen knife nervously at this moment.
Miss Louisa glanced at Shad, then took out a 1 shilling coin from her pocket, and stuffed it through the crack of the door.
"It doesn't matter who it is, you don't need to open the door, now let all the women in the family stand in front of the door one by one, ten seconds each. If you can do it, you still have money. If you can't, it's a gun."
This is what Xia De said under his throat. On this occasion, men's speeches are more intimidating than women's.
Immediately there was commotion inside the door, and the whispers of the family were mixed together, it was difficult to distinguish who said what.
"OK."
It took a long time before the middle-aged man's voice came. So Miss Louisa signaled Xia De to step aside, and she leaned against the crack of the door and looked in. For this kind of dangerous action, it is better for a high-level ring warlock to do it.
"Now the first one."
Xia De said outside the door, looking at both ends of the alley to prevent anyone from appearing. After waiting for a while, she looked at Miss Louisa again, and the blond girl waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem.
"Lightless slum alleys on a foggy night, looking through doorways for strange things . . . good stuff for a horror story."
He entertained himself thinking about it, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the reminder from the whispering voice in his ear made him stunned. Looking at the back of the sorceress in disbelief, he said again:
"And then the second."
The light and shadow in the crack of the door changed, presumably there was a new person in front of the crack of the door.
After a while, Miss Louisa waved her hand again, Xia De squinted her eyes and looked at her back, and said to the door:
"the last one."
They had asked little Sophie yesterday about the composition of her family.
There was no problem with the third person either. The blonde girl left the door, lowered her head and nodded slightly to Xia De, hiding her face in the shadows. She stuffed two coins into the crack of the door again, Xia De watched this scene without speaking.
After finishing all this, the two people outside the door left the alley in the dark. The exit of the alley is facing the Tylarell River, and the river bank can hardly be seen under the thick fog, only the sailing boats moored in the river can be vaguely seen.
The two slowed down at the entrance of the alley, and Miss Louisa stopped first, her head still bowed. This block can only be illuminated by moonlight, and on a foggy night, Xia De couldn't see her face clearly at all.
The clothes on her body became wet at some point, and her body was hidden in the deepest shadow at the entrance of the alley. Xia De, who was standing downwind, could smell an abnormal smell of seafood.
"Detective, you go first, I still have something to do."
Her voice was hoarse.
Xia De pursed his lips and looked up and down at his friend:
"I see."
He looked down at his hand, then extended it to the girl in front of him:
"Miss Louisa, what do you think this is?"
The blonde girl with her head down stretched her head to look at Xia De's hand, Xia De said in a low voice:
"Silver Moon."
The holy silver moonlight suddenly erupted from the fingertips~www.mtlnovel.com~Even though Xia De deliberately controlled the output power, but such a close observation touched the light of the silver moon, which still made Miss Louisa scream.
She covered her eyes and backed away, and when she raised her head, Xia De finally saw that half of Miss Louisa's face was covered by fish scales.
He did not run away, but followed two steps closely, and pressed his entire right palm on Miss Louisa's face. The latter wanted to yell, but Shad reached out with his other hand and covered her mouth.
She struggled hard, but was still firmly pressed to the ground by Xia De. The covered mouth made a "woo woo~" sound, and a head of blond hair fell to the ground in a mess.
Xia De's two hands radiated a soft silver moon light, and he squatted beside the blonde girl, even though Miss Louisa struggled hard, and her fingers kept scratching his wrist, she would never let go.
Gradually, Miss Louisa's resistance became weaker until it stopped completely.
The surrounding area was filled with thick fog, completely obscuring the starry sky and the three moons. The wind also stopped, as if everything was still at this moment.
