Xia De was also planning to say goodbye to Mr. An Luosi, but he remembered another thing, which he had been thinking about all afternoon:
"Have Mrs. Cook's children been found?"
Miss Tifa Servet, the maid beside her, shook her head with a smile when she heard this question. The detective is indeed such a person, while Mr. Anros was taken aback:
"Who is... oh, that middle-aged woman? Found it, the police raided the alley and found three missing children, the woman you mentioned was crying. More children's The whereabouts are still being traced, this is Tobesk's biggest case this summer, with the few people arrested this time, there will definitely be an answer."
"It's really nice."
Xia De heaved a sigh of relief. He even got shot trying to find that child, but he couldn't find it in the end. That would be really too bad.
Although it was impossible for Mrs. Cook to give him any generous rewards, the great satisfaction Shade got from this matter was enough to make up for the time spent.
"Hamilton, you..."
Mr. An Luosi was about to leave, but before opening the door, he turned and looked at Shad. The middle-aged man smiled at him, this time the smile was the most genuine of the two meetings:
"I'm not a life mentor for young people, but people like you are really rare. I found out that you just met that woman today and decided to help her... Agents don't need mercy. Fortunately, you are not an agent."
He nodded to Shad:
"The young man is really good, with a bright future. I will contact you if something happens, pay attention to recuperate at home these days, if necessary, write directly to that place.
After speaking, he left without looking back. Compared with the heavy step when he walked in the door, his footsteps were much lighter.
Until seven o'clock in the evening, Xia De was still waiting. Fortunately, the people here prepared dinner for him, and specially arranged the dining place. During this period, Miss Tifa Servitt stayed with Shad the whole time, but she didn't eat with Shad.
Xia De also tried to invite her to sit down with her, but the maid just shook her head with a smile.
On the way back to the waiting room from the temporary restaurant, they passed a group of middle-aged gentlemen with strange accents. They were complaining that they had not been summoned after waiting for a day, and it seemed that King Larousse III was really very busy.
Not long after returning to the waiting room, someone came to visit Shad again. This time it was Queen Diana and Miss Galina, the Queen was the same age as the King and both were much older than Miss Galina. Although Queen Diana herself was also a beautiful beauty, when standing with Miss Galina, she seemed a little mediocre.
This made Xia De feel the abnormal charm of the great witch again.
The queen made a special trip to thank Xia De, she was very kind and spoke softly. First asked about Shad's physical condition, then chatted about his work, and even apologized for keeping him waiting here for a long time.
This is a very nice woman, both as a wife and as a queen. In addition to verbal thanks, before she left, she also took off the ruby ring on her finger and gave it to Xia De, and even said with a smile that she heard that Xia De liked the Rhodes card, so she planned to find a precious Rhodes card cards to thank him.
Miss Galina did not leave with Queen Diana, but continued to sit on the couch opposite Shad. Xia De looked at her hesitantly:
"Isn't it you who told Queen Diana that I like Rhodes?"
"Yes, that's me, what's wrong with that?"
asked the Duchess, her slender neck was even whiter against the backdrop of the court dress.
Xia De wanted to refute that he didn't like the Rhodes card, but stopped when he reached the point of his mouth. The precious Rhodes card is also valuable, and it is pointless to refute this matter now:
"Well, I do like Rhodes."
He was playing with the ruby ring in his hand. Although it was a gift from the queen and could not be easily sold in the near future, keeping this kind of thing in his hand would give him a feeling of being rich.
The red-haired beauty said, then tilted her head and looked towards the window. Because the gas lamps and crystal chandeliers in the room are too bright, the refraction of the glass makes it almost become a mirror, reflecting the three people in the room.
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the white skin is in stark contrast to the red lips with distinct lip lines:
"Speaking of business, did you really just hit the bullet? You probably don't know it. At that time, about 200 steps behind you, stood the thirteen-ring magician of the Church of the Sun. I didn't feel any problem, and neither did he. There is a problem...how on earth did you do it?"
He looked at Xia De inquisitively, with a slight smile. And Xia De himself thought about the experience this morning, and he was afraid but also amused:
"Twenty-sided dice of fate."
Miss Tifa Servet, the maid, nodded and agreed:
"Yes, there is indeed this among the relics I have temporarily kept for the detective."
A body search is required when entering the Yodel Palace, even if Xia De saved the queen, she will also be searched, so the messy things on Xia De's body are temporarily kept by her. In order to prevent trouble in the future, Xia De deliberately explained the ambiguity of those relics.
"You've got a lot of guts, and it does make sense."
Galina tapped her chin with her finger, and Shad realized that this seemed to be the first formal face-to-face conversation between the two parties.
Talking to Miss Galina through the door, because he can't see anyone, so he always feels the pressure. But when they talked face to face, they became less nervous. Galina Cavendish's attitude was very approachable, which was different from Xia De's imagination.
"Detective, you did a very good job today, so I won't say much about praise. I can guarantee that you will be able to win at least one Medal of Honor Knight de la Rion this time."
Xia De couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he thought of the divination in the Prophet's Association.
"Don't you think it's enough? The Medal of Honor is only awarded up to 20 times a year. The last time it was awarded to ordinary people without titles was fifteen years ago. This is an extremely high honor."
Miss Galina said, Xia De shook his head, and leaned back on the back of the sofa to make his sitting position more comfortable:
"I don't really care about that."
He is destined to leave the civilized world and go to the St. Byrence Comprehensive College in the extreme north. These honors cannot be said to be useless in the college, but they can only be said to be of little use.
"You will gradually find that some honors that can be obtained will make life easier. In the past era, the Knight of Honor Medal was almost equivalent to the knight class, but unfortunately there are no knights now."
The Duchess said regretfully ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but seemed to think of something interesting:
"But if you can make some more contributions, I have a way to get you a title."
"is it possible?"
"For me, it couldn't be easier."
As she spoke, she lightly tapped the armrest of the single sofa with her fingers, and her tone was a little more serious:
"But detective, I hope you will be more cautious next time. The dice you mentioned is not a toy. I rarely take a good look at a person. Don't use your own life to prove that I am wrong."
Xia De knew that this was a warning to himself. After this incident, he also understood this truth, just like letting the [Dark Box] get out of control:
"Miss Galina, I don't dare to manipulate fate anymore."
The last few words were reread, and that expression surprised the big witch in front of her:
"Well... just understand. I always feel that you have other stories."
