The strange man's voice is not loud, but it is very clear, and it is obviously not a local accent:
"Ma'am, is this person staying here?"
He first took out a banknote, and then took out a photo to show Mrs. Sang-mi. Because of the angle, Xia De couldn't see what the photo looked like.
Xia De put his arms on the counter, sat on the round stool in front of the counter and looked at Luvia. While the latter raised his eyebrows, he motioned her not to speak, and then continued the topic just now, complaining to Luvia about the technical workers Miss Mary was not telling the truth.
"Where did this high-ring warlock come from? Has the church already found this place? Then should I leave?"
This is the voice in my heart.
[The opponent has at least twelve rings, and there is a high probability of a warlock with thirteen rings. 】
"Thirteen rings?"
Xia De was even more surprised, but the expression on his face remained unchanged:
"The Orthodox Church's thirteen rings in Tobesk are the 'Sunshine Great Sword' of the Church of the Sun and the 'Steel Right Hand' of the Church of Creation, but this one is obviously not. The church will not randomly dispatch the Warlocks of the Thirteen Rings across dioceses, And even if there are clues from Darkness, according to the behavior rules of the church ring warlocks I learned from Iluna, the thirteen ring warlocks will not be allowed to go directly... So, this stranger is not the Orthodox Church the thirteen rings."
Thinking about it in her heart, the female shopkeeper over there frowned and looked at the photo, then shook her head decisively:
"I know our guests very well. For at least three months, no one who looks like this has stayed here."
Xia De continued to chat with Luvia, and Luvia probably realized that the man who was talking to the shopkeeper was a bit unusual, so she responded enthusiastically to Xia De's words.
"So, who are the guests who stayed in the hotel in the last three days?"
The man in the dark red coat asked kindly. Shad realized that his accent was a bit like the accent in the southern mountainous area of De La Rion. He and Captain Ladds had heard a similar accent when they visited the Veteran's Club.
"Guest, I can't tell you this casually."
Mrs. Sangmei shook her head:
"It doesn't matter how much money it is. If I say this kind of thing, no one will dare to stay with me in the future."
"Yes, it makes sense."
The man nodded, then coughed violently.
He hurriedly took out a white handkerchief from the breast pocket of his coat and covered his mouth, coughed a few times and put the handkerchief away again. From the corner of Xia De's eyes, he seemed to see blood on the white handkerchief:
"Thirteen-ring warlocks still get sick? I remember that middle-ring warlocks are immune to most common diseases, and high-ring warlocks will never get sick."
"Then how about this, you look at this."
The stranger in the dark red coat took out a document from his pocket. Mrs. Sangmei glanced at it, and her eyes widened suddenly:
"OK, I see."
She bent down and took out the ledger from the counter, turned a few pages and pushed them to the people outside the counter:
"The people who stayed in the store for the past three days are all here."
"Okay, thanks for your help."
The man said with a smile, because he seemed to be coughing up blood just now, so he looked even weaker.
He lowered his head and looked carefully at the account book. The business of the Three Cats Hotel was quite good, so it took him a while to finish reading:
"Okay, thanks again for your help."
He closed the account book and pushed it to Mrs. Sangmei, picked up the hat and put it on his head, then nodded politely to Xia De who was beside him, and the man turned and walked towards the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor.
When the other party disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Xia De stopped talking with Luvia about the entrusted task, moved his seat, and sat back in front of Mrs. Sangmei:
"Who was that person just now? You actually handed him the account book?"
He asked in a frivolous tone, trying to make himself seem just curious.
"I can't say that."
The female shopkeeper shook her head, but her expression was a little confused.
"Wait, Xia De, she's not in the right state."
Seeing this, Luvia suddenly reached out and tapped the other person's forehead. Mrs. Sangmei's movements slowly stopped, and then she slowly lay down on the counter, as if falling asleep.
"She was affected by others just now. The documents she thought she saw were not necessarily real documents."
Luvia said with a serious face:
"We are right next to you, but we don't feel any trace of the elements. The man just now is definitely very strong."
"Thirteen rings."
"What? Ten..."
"keep your voice down."
Xia De immediately reminded, took out the notebook he carried with him, and copied the contents of the ledger:
"Did you see the man coughing up blood just now? This is really strange. Could it be that the other party was seriously injured? He came out to work after being so injured. It seems that it is not easy for a thirteen-ring warlock."
"Thirteen rings, thirsty for blood?"
Luvia lowered her voice, and turned her head to look at the stairway in disbelief:
"Oh? Could it be him... But how dare he go back to the Old Continent, since thirty years ago..."
"Thirty years ago...Thirsty for blood...Suspected to find Darkness...Bloodweeper?"
Xia De stopped writing, and suddenly raised his head to look at Luvia:
"A few days ago, I heard from the witch that [Blood Spirit School] seems to have sent high-ring warlocks from the New World to hunt down the betrayer Darkness."
"Yes, I think so."
The purple-eyed fortune-teller looked solemn:
"[Blood Spirit School] The 78-year-old thirteen-ring magician 'Bloodweeper' Hermons is the actual master of the school. Thirty years ago, for his own thirteen-ring promotion ceremony, he colluded with criminals to obtain babies As a result, he committed a major crime involving half of the kingdom, but was seriously injured when he was ambushed by the Orthodox Church when he was promoted, so he led the Blood Spirit School to move to the New World, and has never dared to set foot on the Old World again in thirty years."
"For the sake of the second candidate, he dared to come back?"
While talking, Xia De started to copy the information again. After copying, he put the notebook back into his pocket and put the ledger back into Mrs. Sangmei's hands.
He nodded to Luvia, and Luvia tapped Mrs. Sangmei's head again.
The latter uttered a loud dream, and then slowly woke up:
"Why did I fall asleep? It seems that I haven't had a good rest these days."
The confused female shopkeeper still couldn't immediately recover her usual shrewdness, and Xia De didn't say anything more to her. After ordering drinks and food again, she and Luvia returned to the table next to the poetess playing the lute. sit down.
It was already noon, so Xia De and Luvia had lunch here. A powerful thirteen-ring warlock appeared at the Three Cats Inn, and neither of them dared to take any further actions.
So I simply came here to relax, and talked about interesting places in the downtown area while eating.
Luvia even knew that there was a relic trading place similar to [Old John's Pawn Shop] in a nearby alley, but the security there was not as safe as a **** shop.
At 11:15 in the morning, Xia De was sharing with Luvia his experience of helping his client find a cat on Tuesday. The short and thin man in a dark red coat was accompanied by a tall man whom Xia De did not have. The man I had seen came down from upstairs.
The two went to the counter first. Judging from the action of handing over the keys, they should have checked out of the hotel room, and then left the Three Cats Hotel together.
Xia De didn't get up immediately, and waited for five minutes before signaling that Luvia was fine.
He went to disturb Mrs. Sangmei again, and then asked for an empty room on the fifth floor.
After climbing up the stairs with Luvia and entering the room with door number 7, Shad took out the notebook from his pocket:
"Darkness and the Blood Weeper should have left, Luvia, try to divination among these rooms, which one is the room where Darkness used to live in."
Xia De pointed out the room numbers he recorded, these rooms are the most likely. [Blood Echo] effect ended, and their search became much more troublesome.
The female fortune teller frowned and took a look:
"Choose one of the four? Since a ring 13 warlock is involved, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the divination."
"It doesn't matter, two on the fifth floor and two on the fourth floor, UU reading www.uukanshu.com You try to divination as much as possible, I will check at the door, whether the cleaning maid will pass by here immediately."
So Luvia borrowed the Rhodes cards from Shade again, and she evenly distributed the entire deck of 54 cards on the bed, and then tried to open three of them. After thinking for a while, he turned over three cards again until all the cards were turned over.
During this period, Xia De really observed the fat maid of the hotel through the crack of the door, pushing a small cart welded with discarded gas pipes, humming the ditties played and sung by the poetess downstairs, passing by the door of the room. There were buckets, rags, brooms, mops on the cart, and the metal wheels made a loud noise as they rolled over the wooden floor.
Ten minutes later, the fat maid passed the door again and walked towards the broom closet at the top of the stairs. After the door of the broom closet was opened and closed, the sound of her footsteps disappeared at the top of the stairs:
"Clean up the room now. It seems that it is indeed a room on the fifth floor. Now it's a choice."
Xia De at the door judged cautiously, and Luvia was standing by the bed to recycle the cards:
"If it is indeed the fifth floor, then I think it is the farthest room on the fifth floor, Room 1."
"Okay, let's go to Room 1 to check the situation."
Xia De nodded, opened the door and looked around, seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he took Luvia out of the room. Unlocking the lock of Room 1, the two walked in quickly, and then locked the door behind them.
"Detective, I'm glad you didn't become a professional thief, otherwise no one would be able to stop you. The thaumaturgy that the old **** gave you is really useful."
While Luvia teased, she didn't forget to throw the silence charm at the door.
Xia De shook his head and didn't make any further comments, but carefully opened the curtains and looked behind, opened the closet and looked inside, and finally got down to check under the wooden bed covered with white sheets.
