Instead of looking for a taxi at the intersection, Miss Louisa led Xia De for two streets, and then suddenly turned into an imperceptible alley beside the road. After walking a certain distance in the alley, she actually took out the key and opened the door of one of the houses in the alley.
"Xia De, we can't just have one hiding place, can we?"
When she pushed the door, she smiled and said to Xia De:
"I'll bet that Anat, Priest Augustus, and Doctor have similar second hiding places, which can also be used to hide sensitive items that are not commonly used."
This "safe house" house was not rented, but Miss Louisa bought it at a low price through her family relationship. Although the price is not bad, the living conditions here are very poor. Miss Louisa didn't use this place as her own house, but as a temporary warehouse.
According to her, besides herself, Xia De was the second person who knew about this location.
"Should I be honored?"
After entering the low-rise house, Xia De asked while looking at the furnishings disguised as ordinary poor families. Miss Louisa had already entered the small basement under the house through the trap door under the bed. In addition to the trapdoor, there is a small opening in the basement for creeping into the city's sewers, but she won't use it lightly.
It's not because I'm worried that the secret passage will be discovered, but because the smell is unbearable.
The voice from underground was a bit dull:
"Not only did you tell me your secret, but you even lent me the valuable [Youth Is Not Old Leaf]. What else can I not tell you? So far, except Leiziya, Xia De, you are my The most trusted person."
As she spoke, she crawled out from under the trap door and handed Shad a very thick black robe and a mask:
"The place may be dangerous for a while, we'd better be more cautious."
As he spoke, he also put on his robe. In order to tuck the long golden hair into the hood, he stretched out his hand to tie it.
When Miss Louisa adjusted her collar and was about to put on the hood, Xia De noticed that she had clipped the leaf with a silver piece and hung it around her neck. Xia De's leaves are sandwiched in the pocket watch cover. Although he doesn't need the pocket watch now, it is also a good decoration.
Leaving Miss Louisa's safe house, they walked another block east on foot before finding a vacant cab at the intersection. The two of them dressed strangely in robes and hoods, but the coachman just hesitated, explaining that he would not leave the city limits or go to remote places, and let them board the car.
It seems that those who dare to solicit business at night always have some extraordinary insight.
The carriage traveled for nearly an hour in the quiet night and arrived at the northern edge of Tobesk City. Then Miss Louisa took Xia De along the crooked road, passing through the densely packed low shacks and two-storey simple houses in the suburbs, stepping on the mud and smelling all kinds of strange smells, constantly moving towards the Moving in the direction of the city.
There are no gas lamps here, not even the light of many candles.
However, this situation only occurs in Beicheng. Not only because the North City is the lower city in the traditional sense, but also because the vast plains north of the city are the best farming areas and pastures in the Tobesk region.
Manpower is always needed here, and the suburban villages and towns in the gap between the open plains in the north of the city and the city seem to exist naturally for this bustling steam city.
Dodging the drunk who vomited against the mud wall, bypassing the boy who urinated in front of his door, and then threatening the black wolfhound who wanted to growl at the stranger with his eyes, Xia De followed Miss Louisa through the seemingly A small suburban village two centuries behind the city.
There are no exact edges to the villages either, it's just that the houses are gradually thinning out, meaning they're moving away from human settlements.
Farther away is a small forest, and it took less than five minutes to pass through the woodland along the forest path, and then a gravel path appeared in front of it to connect with it, and walked a few hundred steps forward along the path, and finally I saw the destination of this trip, the cemetery located in the northern suburbs of the city.
This place does not belong to the city public cemetery. The city public cemetery is under the unified jurisdiction of [Church of Nature and Evil Thought] and the city hall. Mr. An Luosi, Shade's boss, almost got this leisurely job.
This is for people who live in or outside the city, but who are not eligible to be buried in a public cemetery.
While graves at Tobesk Public Cemetery are cheap, there will always be people in this world who can't afford that price. As a result, some cemeteries have appeared on the outskirts of the city where the poor can also be buried. As for safety and the environment, it is not something that the poor can consider.
There is no fog like in the city in the outskirts of the city, and the cemetery located by the forest is very clear under the light of March, and it can even be said to be a little magical.
Miss Louisa slowed down a bit, walked side by side with Xia De, and whispered to him:
"The one we are going to visit, usually called Mr. Cops, is the largest supplier of corpse materials in the Tobesk area. But this man is the gravekeeper here, and he has a very weird temper. Whether it is or not Regular customers, any ring warlock who enters the cemetery he manages after the sun goes down will be treated unfriendly by him, but he only accepts guests when the sun goes down. So follow me for a while, don't use silver moon thaumaturgy , I will deal with any danger."
"Is he an illegal character?"
Xia De inquired in a low voice again, the sound of shoes stepping on dead branches on the gravel path seemed to spread far away~www.mtlnovel.com~Although this person has a weird personality, he always hides Doing his own research in the cemetery, any arrest warrant from the Orthodox Church would not match him. And the unfriendliness to visitors at night is mostly just a warning. "
Goldilocks replied.
"Then where did those corpse materials come from? It can't be..."
Xia De quietly pointed forward.
"At least it wasn't dug up in this cemetery. No gravekeeper would be foolish enough to steal a corpse from a place under his jurisdiction. As for where it came from... Detective, I can't answer this question."
"Detective" was used instead of "Shad" because the two were already close to the cemetery.
Xia De shut his mouth and followed Miss Louisa silently.
He understands that the source of corpse-like materials cannot be legal in the era when this order is established. As for stealing, buying, or other means, he couldn't guess, and he couldn't guess at all, so he simply didn't worry about it.
