Shad held the relic in one hand, and stretched out his right hand to Miss Bayas. The latter stared at him, then at the phalanx.
In the shadow of the alley, the expression on her face was changing subtly, and it took a long time before she grabbed Xia De's hand and held it firmly:
"Detective, you must speak clearly."
That voice was no longer as relaxed as it was a few minutes ago when I was discussing the reward with Shad.
"Of course, I'm sorry...can you relax a little bit."
The opponent's hand is very strong.
"Hold on for a few seconds."
As he said that, the life ring behind Miss Bayas actually emerged. Xia De thought there was still a battle, but none of the spirit runes were activated, but the life ring itself shone with light.
The light shone on Xia De, and a phantom of a golden balance appeared beside Xia De and Miss Bayas.
"Detective, you need to regain my trust."
"Um?"
Looking at the phantom of the balance, Xia De immediately thought of Miss Anat's saying that the ultimate performance of the chosen one is that the ring of life turns into a weapon. It now appears that although Miss Bayas has not yet succeeded, she has gained more and more power.
"Detective, if you want me to continue to trust you, then relax your mind and don't resist."
"What?"
Shad didn't understand.
"Good, evil?"
The female sorceress holding Shad's hand tightly asked, the light of the scale flashed in front of Shad's eyes, and the bright light illuminated a part of the alley. Then, almost immediately, the balance tilted overwhelmingly to the left.
The vigilance on Miss Bayas's face changed:
"Oh? Detective, I didn't realize that you are so kind... No, where did you come from?"
She looked at Xia De suspiciously, Xia De had some guesses about this, probably because he had been here for too short a time, this scale can only judge his experience in this world.
Miss Bayas's attitude has obviously improved a lot, and her expression is no longer so serious. She asked again:
"Order, chaos?"
The balance regained its balance, and then fell to the left at a faster speed, as if someone pressed it with a finger:
"Huh? Such a strong sense of order? It seems that you have received a very strict education and agree with rules and order."
She glanced at Xia De with the eyes of magical animals, and relaxed her palms as if she wanted to let go.
"No, what I identify with is civilization."
Xia De explained that at this moment, Miss Bayas's hand was tightened again:
"Miracle, blasphemy?"
The balance wobbled a little, but quickly regained its balance, with an imperceptible deviation to the left. Shade has had many contacts with the good **** [Innocent Creator], and has devoured the divinity of the evil god. As far as he is concerned, he is more identifiable with miracles, but the blasphemous divinity is still in his soul.
Therefore, the balance will maintain an almost balanced situation.
Miss Bayas frowned, but did not comment too much:
"Enlightenment, whisper?"
Both of them stared at the scale, and then saw the scale move slowly to the left, down to the left, down...it flipped over and turned into golden light spots scattered in the air.
"..."
Miss Bayas let go of Xia De's hand, and the overturned balance disappeared in front of her eyes along with the fate ring. Xia De was surprised by what happened just now, he didn't expect the "chosen one" to have such an interesting ability. The sorceress looked at Xia De and asked seriously:
"Detective Hamilton, are you the son of the fallen old god?"
"Holy Son? What? No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person."
Xia De shook his head quickly. He felt a little tired and missed his cat at home.
"Take me to your house."
said Miss Bayas, looking at the light of the gas lamp at the entrance of the alley.
"Um?"
Xia De looked at the girl with long brown hair in surprise.
"I want to talk to you about some things. I fully trust my ability, so I think our cooperation can continue."
The body remained where it was, and Miss Bayas said she had a way to conceal it, and then the two walked out of the alley one after the other.
It was far away from Shad's house, so I finally boarded a cab. Because of Miss Bayas's attire, the driver looked at Shad in surprise, as if he had misunderstood something.
It was 9:50 p.m. when I opened the downstairs door of No. 6 Place Saint-Andrés. Shard turned on the gas lamp in the hall and invited Miss Bayarth in.
On the way, the two did not speak a word.
Miss Bayas sat down directly on the sofa. She has been here before, so she is no stranger to it. Xia De went back to the room and changed out of the expensive suit before returning to the living room to talk.
"I'm a correspondence ring magician, that's it. I didn't say it last time because I didn't want to be exposed in front of the church ring magicians. If you want me to apologize for lying, that's of course no problem."
This is Shad's opening statement.
"Understood, I also know about the situation of the Correspondence Ring Warlock. Don't worry, I won't report you."
Probably because of the four questions just now, Miss Bayas's attitude is not bad.
Xia De stroked the cat on his lap, looked at her face, and asked again:
"Miss Bayas, now you know my status as a ring magician. But I still want to cooperate with you. As a ring magician of the church, do you still want to cooperate with me?"
The young girl nodded slightly, she seemed to have thought about it on the way:
"Detective Hamilton, although I am dissatisfied with your initial concealment, I also know about the situation of the academic ring warlock... Our identities can indeed provide each other with a lot of convenience. If you want to continue to cooperate, I I think it's okay."
"Speaking of identity, I'm actually from MI6, but I won't be able to get my certificate until tomorrow."
Xia De added, and the girl with long brown hair sized him up strangely:
"That Miss Galina introduced it? No, there is no need to explain, this identity is also very useful... After the four questions just now, I plan to trust you again, and it is true that I have another friend like you." That's good. But, I want people to be more open and honest."
"No problem, what do you want to know?"
Xia De sat up straight, under the light of the gas lamp in the living room, Miss Bayas actually saw golden cracks appearing on his body for a moment, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Answer a question and we'll continue working together."
Thinking that it was just a hallucination caused by fatigue, she stretched out a finger and shook it. Of course Xia De would not disagree:
"Fair enough, please."
"Did you know... [Truth Council]?"
"What?"
Xia De frowned. He really didn't know. Miss Bayas, who was watching his expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's fine if you don't know."
"Is this your enemy too?"
Xia De asked back, the brown-haired sorceress nodded, and took the initiative to serve the tea prepared by Xia De, which meant that there was no quarrel between the two:
"Detective, I have a lot of secrets. [Truth Society] is an organization composed of a group of lunatics who claim to pursue the truth, but they are blind and stupid. Of course, this has nothing to do with you. The story between me and them will be told when I have time Let me tell you. This involves some ancient mysteries, ancient ambitions, the power of the righteous gods, my sun gun, some ancient stone slabs..."
It sounds like a legendary story, Xia De thought for a while, and suddenly asked:
"The Truth Society you mentioned, is the logo an equilateral triangle with a circle at each apex and a winged person in the center?"
"what is that?"
Miss Bayarth shook her head.
"It's fine if you don't. In fact, I also have many secrets. This is one of them. Oh, Miss Bayas, if you have a chance, can you help me to the church library and look up this sign. Of course, be careful not to be Discovery, because I'm not sure what it is."
"No problem, the church library has a rich collection. If there is an answer, I will tell you."
She leaned back on the sofa in Shade's house, and only then did she finally relax:
"Detective, do you want to know the information I got tonight? Yes, listen to me."
Her voice was very soft, and she couldn't see the firmness she had in the alley just now. For some reason, Xia De suddenly felt sorry for this young girl. She was still too young, but she had experienced too many things.
【Blood of Mercury】Hidden behind Tobesk in fragments, Baron Hull, one of the sponsors of the organization, of course knows something about it. Although Miss Bayas did not directly ask him about the hiding place of the seriously injured silver-eyed man, she did know who might know the location of the silver-eyed man.
Miss Bayarth's slow search still has a long way to go.
After the organization was dispersed, they searched for items to synthesize the angel-level relic [Blood of Mercury], and some of them were hidden in the hands of ordinary people related to the organization. Baron Hull has two of them, but the baron himself doesn't know what they are.
Xia De inquired carefully, and there was no red liquid substance in it, but a silver doll and an emerald.
"Detective, I know you want those two relics very much. But relics with unknown characteristics can only be dangerous in your hands. Regarding those two relics, I will report them to the church through my channel, and let the church take them back. If there is a bonus, I can share it with you."
Shad had no objection to her arrangement. The person who found Baron Hull was Miss Bayas, and Shad was responsible for drawing him out, so they all contributed to this matter.
Although the [Forged Philosopher's Stone] was not found, Miss Bayas learned from Baron Hale a list of people who might hold the relic like him.
There are only two names on that list~www.mtlnovel.com~ One is Mr. Ponton, the owner of the Chengdong steam engine special screw factory, and the other is Mr. Roosevelt, the accountant of Star Grass Public Tobesk Nursing Home.
Baron Hull met these two people and knew that they were inextricably linked to [Blood of Mercury].
"What I'm looking for is the [Forged Philosopher's Stone], I don't care about other things."
Xia De expressed his attitude, which is the premise of cooperation.
"These two names, I can report to the church one day later, that is, on Tuesday. Before that, you can ask your companions to find what you want. If you find it, it will be yours, and if you can't find it, it will be the church's." But you have to make sure that if you don’t find something, don’t take it away, so as not to disturb those two people and make the church miss the next clue.”
Miss Bayas is not a person who can abide by the rules. Even if she is a member of the Orthodox Church, she doesn't seem to care much about the Ring Warlock Regulations of the Church of Dawn. But she is indeed a kind and upright girl. If the camps are divided by good and evil and order and chaos, although she is in the camp of good and order, she is very close to neutral.
This is presumably also a trait of the Chosen Ones of "Balance".
