Because the matter in hand has been dealt with for the time being, Xia Deben planned to officially start solving the last two commissions left by Detective Sparrow starting this afternoon.
But he had just returned to Saint Teresa Square from the Church of Dawn, and when he wanted to take out the entrustment agreement before going out, the badge on his chest started to feel hot.
It was Miss Galina who came to visit.
Of course, the Duchess didn't go to the city to do business, and then stopped by to see Shad. Nearly two weeks after Darkness escaped from Coldwater Harbor, the Council of Witches finally found him by relying on that boot.
"Ivan Darkness is here now, in Wilwood City, Charing County. Last night, the nearby staff of the council found him. Although he escaped again, at least it means that we have found his trace."
Miss Galina pointed out the location on the map of the old continent in Shad's house with her finger painted with red nail polish. The large exaggerated map was unfolded and spread out on the open space in the living room of Room No. 2 on the second floor. Tifa squatted down and carefully circled the city of Wildwood with a pencil.
Mia stood triumphantly above the map, not knowing what she wanted to express. Xia De stood beside the black-haired maid, bending over to look at the map.
The location of Wildwood City has crossed the midpoint between Coldwater Harbor City and Tobesk City, and is southwest of Tobesk City.
His eyes scanned the map, inadvertently looked at the squatting maid, and then saw a scene that made him blush. The brunette maid has a really, really good figure, which is even more apparent when she crouches down.
The flesh and blood of the **** is still affecting him, Xia De tried very hard to look away.
"However, why do you have such a high-precision map of the kingdom at home? It can almost be regarded as a military map. Look, there is no publication number printed on the map. Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a contraband."
Miss Galina sat on a chair beside her and asked. There was no furniture in Room 2. When Shade was fetching the map just now, the Duchess's servants brought some chairs from the dining room in Room 1.
Of course, the map was left by the former detective. As for what Sparrow Hamilton wanted to do, it was beyond the imagination of loyal MI6 agent Shad Hamilton.
He muddled through the question, then asked:
"Then apart from the council, didn't the Church discover Darkness?"
"The battle in Wildwood City will attract the church's attention, because the incident happened in a hurry and there was no time to cover up the traces. The church should be able to link this matter with Darkness soon."
Miss Galina also stood up and came to the other side of Tifa. Then, like Shade just now, she was attracted by the figure of the squatting maid:
"The scenery is good."
She raised her head and said to Xia De with a smile, the maid was unmoved, and Xia De was unwilling to discuss this topic.
"Judging from the trajectory of the action, Darkness is heading towards the area around Tobesk."
Xia De continued to bring the topic back to the matter of the chosen one, and the black-haired maid also used a pencil to gently connect Darkness's forward route.
If he does not plan to turn around next, but proceeds according to the current trajectory, then the probability of showing up around Tobesk is very high. Even if you don't enter the city, you may stay in a small country town.
"Yes, the council also thinks that his target may be Tobesk. That's why I'm here to tell you about it, so you can be prepared."
"What am I guarding against?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"Preventing him from coming to Tobesk is to avenge you."
"What? Take revenge on me?"
Xia De was even more surprised.
"Yes, according to the report from the Council's personnel in Wilwood City, the injury on Darkness's body was not healed at the time. From the description of the injury, it doesn't look like the injury was caused by Xi Wei, but the sunlight you shot with the alchemy item. The marks left by the gun."
Miss Galina said, looking at Xia De with emotion:
"Although you used alchemy items, you did something that Xi Wei couldn't do. Shade, you did a great job."
"But Darkness didn't see me at the time."
Shad was sure of that.
"Maybe? Otherwise, it can't explain why he didn't flee to the edge of the civilized world, but moved towards Tobesk."
The witch also bent down and stretched out her fingers, letting Tifa circle Tobesk:
"In short, the area around Tobesk may become the place where Darkness will show up next time. In addition to the parliament, other ring magician organizations that are tracking Darkness will find him sooner or later. After all, he is only one person , even if there are demons on his body, he cannot become a master of concealment."
"Tobesk is going to mess up again?"
Xia De asked, and Miss Galina shrugged:
"It's hard to say, maybe the opponent of the council this time is deliberately leading us in the wrong direction, after he left Wildwood City
Immediately after that, he went south immediately, maybe smuggling to Kasenlik. "
Xia De did not comment on this, but discussed with Miss Galina about the situation caused by the second candidate.
The power displayed by Iluna on the night of the divine descent made people realize the power of the chosen ones, and the new slate of "Whispering Verses" discovered in the New World drew people's attention to Lengshuigang, and then the grand opening of Lengshuigang During the event, murlocs, evil gods, godcallers and chosen ones appear in turn. And when Darkness's next destination is confirmed, I'm afraid there will be more ring warlock organizations that try to get in touch with the "Whispering Verses" and believe that the chosen ones will affect the situation in the material world.
"Speaking of which, are you looking for currency relics?"
"Yes."
Both Shad and the two witches have mentioned this matter.
"this is for you."
Miss Galina flicked a coin, and Shade caught it in a hurry.
When the finger touched the coin, he immediately got the prompt of contact with the whisper. The cold coin is about the size of a shilling alloy silver coin, with thorns on the front, the number 1 written on it, and the number 309 on the lower end. These numbers are symbolic numbers, symbols that have been used since ancient times.
On the reverse side, there is the ancient rune "wish", and the border is also thorns.
On the side of the coin, a circle of letters is engraved in a very fine way:
【Unfulfilled wishes are the greatest enemy of intelligent beings. 】
"A clerical-level relic [wish coin], draw a pentagram on a flat ground, put five candles of different lengths at the apex of the pentagram, and place a coin in the center of the pentagram, and you can make a wish."
The witch introduced that the two returned to the sofa in Room 1 to continue their conversation, and the servants helped to clean up the chairs and maps just now.
"I think there must be a problem with the realization of the wish?"
Shad said while checking the coins.
"Yes, it will indeed fulfill some of your wishes, but it will always be realized in a strange way. This is very similar to the bridges in the story that warn us not to be greedy."
The witch said, shaking her fingers, not knowing what she meant:
"However, although there may be problems with the way, the purpose of wishing can be achieved. Therefore, some ring warlocks are willing to try to use this relic to make a wish, as a way of wishing with both positive and negative effects. The smaller the wish, The more likely it is to happen in the way the wisher wishes, the bigger the wish, the more unexpected the way it will be realized."
"Oh, that's really nice stuff."
Shad praised.
"It's true. Similar to most currency-style relics, [Wishing Coins] does not exist alone. But what is different is that all 666 [Wishing Coins], even if they disappear after a successful wish, can still be found in dozens of years. It reappears in a period ranging from a year to a few hundred years. For example, your coin is No. 309. No matter how you plan to use it, people in the future will still be able to see it. After all, these coins are greed, greed and Embodiments of hope, they cannot go away."
"Then what do I have to pay to get this from you?"
Xia De looked away from the coin, raised his head and asked:
"Is there anything I need to do?"
Miss Galina thought for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Anything to do tonight?"
"Of course it's fine."
He thought that Miss Galina would arrange some tasks again.
"Then have dinner with me tonight~www.mtlnovel.com~ Oh, after dinner, you can go to the opera together."
As she spoke, she glanced back at her maid, and Miss Servet nodded immediately:
"I will prepare the ticket for the box."
"Eating and an opera...is that all?"
Xia De hesitated.
"Of course, nothing happened to Tobesk recently, and I don't need you to do anything."
She looked at Xia De with a smile, expecting his answer.
"Can I take Mia with me?"
Xia De asked again, and the cat whose name was mentioned immediately looked up at him.
"sure."
"Okay then, I think it's all right."
While this behavior gave him the illusion that he was relying on female talents, he was in need of special coins right now. In the case of not wanting to consume the only blood money left for each person, the extra coins can be used for divination, which is really great.
"It's not like I paid, though. I took the coin,
I will also participate in the evening activities, but this is one time I owe you, and I will pay you back in the future. "
Shad emphasized.
"For a man's pride?"
The witch asked with a smile, and did not reject Xia De's statement:
"It's a pity that little Rezia won't return to Tobesk until tomorrow, otherwise I really want her to see you like this."
Xia De didn't respond to this sentence, otherwise the witch would definitely say a more exaggerated sentence... Maybe the time of the invitation will be changed to tomorrow night.
