A strange sense of dizziness made Xia De have the urge to blurt out his own background, but it was just an urge. He is very familiar with this feeling. The captain of Iluna's team used similar means to him at the dinner party at the Lake View Manor.
"I......"
He took a step back and frowned:
"Ma'am, your behavior is not at all polite to friendly strangers."
The young girl also frowned tightly, as if complaining:
"It's really bad luck. I didn't expect to meet a person on the street who is also a ring warlock. Sir, I am sorry for my behavior, but I bet you must have peeked at my things."
"Yes."
Xia De didn't deny it, and looked at her expression:
"Are you a Ring Warlock from Zarath's School of Magic?"
"Are you going to report me?"
asked Goldilocks, also eyeing Shad. Her eyes are beautiful and expressive.
"Of course not, what good will it do me to report you?"
Shad said, and then added, pointing to himself, deciding to take a risk:
"Ma'am, I didn't expect to run into you. I'm a ring magician from out of town, and I don't know anything about the local situation. To be precise, I'm a student of St. Byrence."
"St. Byrence?"
The young girl frowned and nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor doubting.
"My name is John Watson. By the way, last week was the exam week of the three colleges. I came here after the exam week."
He introduced himself that the time of the exam week was to prove his identity.
He stretched out his right hand to the strange girl, who hesitated for a moment:
"Nobela Princes."
The girl wearing the ruby earrings also stretched out her hand to Xia De, and the palms of the two touched, and a voice sounded in the ear:
[Five rings. 】
"Then Mr. Watson, what do you want to do here?"
"I just came to find a friend, but unfortunately he left one step ahead of time, I will stay here for a while and wait for him to come back."
Xia De knew that Miss Princes probably didn't let go of her guard at all, so she just briefly introduced herself, then took out the note with the address from her pocket and shook it:
"I really have something urgent to do. Since you are a local, you should know about the mermaid statue. Unfortunately, I ran into one of them and I was about to report it to the church, so that the church can hurry up and put this dangerous I don’t know Miss Prince, is there any safe way to tell the church?”
He can use this matter to observe whether the other party can be trusted.
"You mean the sage-level relic?"
Miss Princes frowned slightly.
"Yes, I saw the academy reward order in your bag. If you want to give the statue to the Zarath Academy of Literature, I can also sell the news to you at a lower price."
If it weren't for the inability to explain the origin of the statue, it would be the best choice for Shard to sell it to St. Byrence.
And Miss Prince obviously didn't expect Xia De to say this, she was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head:
"The sage-level relic is too dangerous. Even if you sell it to me, I can't store it. But if you just want to pass the information to the church, I have some ways. Come with me. Since you helped me just now, I It's okay to help you."
Then he called Xia De to leave together.
After a simple conversation, the two of them established the simplest trust. And when they were walking on the street to look for a four-wheeled carriage, Xia De looked at her, and always felt as if he had seen her from somewhere.
But if Xia De really saw such a beautiful girl with outstanding temperament like Miss Princes, she would never forget it. Asking the "other me" in his heart, the woman's voice also thought that Xia De had never seen her.
"This is really strange."
But the sense of familiarity does not seem to be an illusion.
Finally, I found the carriage at the corner of the next street. The girl with the earrings talked to the driver, and the driver drove them to the nearest Creation Church.
The church is located on the most prosperous St. John's Avenue in the dock area. Two streets away, you can see the spire of the church stretching over the surrounding buildings to the sky. Getting off at the entrance of the lively church, Miss Prince did not take Shad into the church, but walked east along St. John's Avenue and stopped at the entrance of an antique shop not far from the church.
"Wait me a moment."
After speaking, she walked into the antique shop, and after a while, the middle-aged man dressed as the owner came out with her. This is also a Ring Warlock, but with only one ring. He shook hands with Xia De enthusiastically, and after confirming the information with Xia De, he locked the store door and walked to the alley not far away.
"This is a broker in the local black market, specializing in intelligence business. He will pass on the news, and the church will know about it in about half an hour."
Miss Princes said, as if she was very familiar with the local situation. Seeing that Xia De was still standing on the stone road and looking at the church not far away, he asked:
"What I promised to do for you has been done, if there is nothing else, I think it's time for me to leave."
"Oh, please wait, Miss Princes."
Xia De immediately said that the other party is really familiar with Lengshuigang, so no matter whether it is Zarath's correspondence ring warlock or not, the other party should be able to help him.
"I'm a foreigner. Since I just arrived here, I naturally want to get acquainted with the local situation. Miss Prince, I wonder if you have time today."
"what are you up to?"
asked the young girl with a smile.
"I want to hire you, hire you to be my tour guide for a day, and take me around Coldwater Harbor. If you can take me to the black market where you can trade special items or knowledge, that would be even better."
It is now close to twelve o'clock noon. If Xia De is really hired, strictly speaking, it should be half a day.
Miss Princes seemed to be suppressing a smile, but she still nodded:
"I really have nothing else to do today. It's no problem to hire me as a tour guide, but can you afford the price?"
The pretty girl twirled her fingers.
"How much?"
To facilitate expenses, Shad left Tobesk with a lot of cash in his suitcase.
"The salary can be negotiated slowly. It's already noon now, sir, won't you invite me to lunch?"
She spoke in a very standard Delarion language with a relaxed tone.
Xia De looked up at the sun above his head, calculated the thickness of the wallet, and weighed whether it was worth inviting someone to dinner:
"Yes, are there any recommended restaurants nearby?"
The two turned around and walked along the street, walking towards the church with the lively crowd at noon.
Miss Princes probably came from a noble family. Shad originally thought that she would choose a high-end restaurant in the center of Coldwater Harbor, but in the end she just chose a restaurant with a slightly higher price in the neighborhood where the Creation Church was located.
The girl with a good figure probably wanted to go on a diet, so she only chose some delicate vegetarian dishes when ordering. While waiting for the food to be served after the waiter left, Xia De tentatively wanted to ask the other party's real identity in this kind of city, but was blocked by Miss Princes.
She is very familiar with the local situation. Although she has always avoided talking about the local ring warlock situation with Xia De, she is very enthusiastic about talking to Xia De about the latest local news.
Aside from the fact that the sage-level relic [Mermaid Dream] caused the Police Department to collect mermaid-shaped statues across the city, causing the price of similar-shaped statues in the city to plummet, the most important news in recent weeks is that the "noble, beautiful, kind and elegant" Lei Princess Sia Cavendish's visit.
The adjective was added by Miss Princes.
"Has the princess not left yet? I remember the newspaper saying that Princess Rezia will return to Tobesk after only staying in the local area for a week after her visit to Kaserik. Is she still here?"
Xia De was quite surprised by this.
"Yes, it's still in the local area. It is said that he is suffering from a serious illness and cannot travel long distances, so he will stay in Lengshuigang City for a while longer."
Miss Princes said with a smile.
"But why didn't I see this news in the newspaper?"
"It's not a good thing. The royal family puts pressure on the newspaper. And..."
She lowered her voice:
"It's impossible for you not to know about the major event that happened in Tobesk a week and a half ago. That's the evil god... Ordinary people don't know the truth, but the royal family must know the truth from the church. There are rumors among the local ring magicians that the princess Your Highness, I was frightened by Tobesk's incident, so I pretended to be sick and didn't want to go back, and wanted to wait until it was confirmed safe before leaving."
This kind of statement is somewhat slanderous. Xia De has heard a few words from Miss Louisa about Princess Rezia, and knows that the five-ringed sorceress is not such a timid person, so rather than being frightened, The possibility of sudden serious illness is not small.
"Maybe I should carry the fruit and visit Miss Louisa on her behalf...but the princess doesn't seem to know me at all."
he thought.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Watson, I haven't asked you what your occupation is. If I remember correctly, the three major thaumaturgy academies require correspondence students, and try not to leave the permanent city for a long time. Since you came from another place Lengshuigang, I think it should be a relatively free occupation, so it is convenient to travel between the two places?"
Miss Prince seems to want to test Xia De's identity~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Xia De has long been prepared, pulling his thoughts back from the direction of the princess:
"I'm sort of a writer, I'm a detective's assistant, and I live with a very troublesome detective."
Xia De said while thinking about what lunch Mia would get from Miss Louisa at noon:
"My usual work, sorting out the detective records, and meeting the client with the person I live with. Of course, I also have to help the detective who can be regarded as a lifeless person prepare food, and it... ahem, Going for walks with him and occasionally fighting over supper, but admittedly, while he's troublesome, my live-in partner, the detective in the orange pajamas, fits my needs for a roommate perfectly. "
"It's nice to have a roommate like this. Is he a Ring Warlock?"
asked the young girl who dined with Shad.
"Of course not, but he knows I'm a Ring Warlock, and I've even tried thaumaturgy and relic powers on him. But..."
Xia De thought of the appearance of the cat that had become smarter recently, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily:
"If one day he can awaken his talent, I feel good."
