Twenty minutes later, Shade and Dorothy had returned to No. 6, Place Saint Teresa. The sky at this time was even more gloomy than when Xia De got up in the morning. Even though the gas lamp was still turned on in the morning, the room still seemed groggy.
Xia De sat alone on the sofa and hugged Mia, while Dorothy, who had been drenched by the rain just now, went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Playing with the half red butterfly pendant in his hand, Xia De never expected that it was just a whimsical attempt, but it actually succeeded.
Of course, it cannot be regarded as a complete success. Because now Dorothy and Rezia can only look at each other for a short time from a long distance, but they still can't look at each other for a long time, let alone get close.
But the point of "being able to look at each other from a distance" has greatly improved compared to the previous situation where no contact was possible, which means that Shade's method is effective.
"Am I so lucky? It was just a random question from Professor Dunn at Fort Middlehill, and then I found Professor Manning, and Papa John just happened to find the right train of thought... everything Thanks to Granny Cassandra..."
The sound of the carriage rolling over the waterlogged road is particularly obvious in the rainy weather here. Although the Saint Teresa Square is not as lively as it used to be, there is still no shortage of pedestrians.
Dorothy's emotional ups and downs just now were very ups and downs. It should be the first time that she and Rezia, the two girls who can exchange souls and know each other's secrets, looked directly at each other. At this time, she went to the bathroom to take a shower, not only because she was drenched by the rain, but also because she didn't want Xia De to see her gaffe.
Xia De actually understood her emotions at that time very well, so he also understood that she did not want to go home immediately with him, but stared at the opposite side of the Yodel Palace for a long time until the pain in her soul forced her to close her eyes.
[Do you think you understand girls' minds very well? 】
Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from his ear.
"Hmm...maybe. However, if you go to Old John to make better alchemy items, maybe it will be more effective. Didn't he say that the one I have in my hand is just made from scraps Yes, not even the material fee."
While Dorothy was taking a bath in the bathroom, Xia De carried the cat to the study room, and under the gas lamp, he wrote down all the information he had received about the twin gods and their beliefs in Castle Midhill. Although I have already repeated it to Dorothy, it is better to write it down and give it to Rezia, so that she can use her influence to investigate.
After all, compared to the power of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the detectives in the Saint Teresa Square are really weak and pitiful.
When Xia De returned to the living room, looking at the documents in his hand and thinking about whether he had missed details, the door of the bathroom was finally opened.
Goldilocks wiped her fluffy blonde hair with a new towel that Shad brought out, and was wearing the white shirt that Shad washed for her last time but did not take it back (Chapter 443):
"Xia De, do you really not have other women's clothes at home?"
She appeared to be emotionally back to normal.
"Except for a garter and a pair of red high-heeled shoes (Chapter 486), you can only wear your clothes for the time being."
Fortunately, it was raining today, so Dorothy put on an extra coat and went out. Now it's just the coat that's wet, so she still has something to wear.
"Meow~"
Dorothy sat on the side sofa, and the cat lying on Shade's lap glanced at her, and then let out a lazy cry.
"etc!"
Xia De immediately put down the document in his hand and sat up straight, becoming alert:
"Are you Rezia?"
The blonde girl smiled and glanced at Shade's cat:
"It's me, your cat is amazing. So far, he is the only one who can accurately tell us apart."
As he spoke, he touched his right earlobe.
"Good morning, why are you here?"
Xia De asked, and handed her the handwritten document in his hand. Rezia took a look at it and put it on the coffee table:
"Of course it's to thank you."
"Oh, don't be kidding! Such little things..."
"It's no small matter."
The blond girl with wet hair looked at Xia De, and from the eyes of Dorothy's body, Xia De felt that he really saw Rezia's soul.
"Really, thank you very much. I imagined before that Dorothy and I would be able to get closer one day, but I really didn't expect that day to come so soon."
Her Royal Highness said softly, although she looked calmer than Dorothy just now, it was obvious that this calmness was just a usual disguise to cover up her mood.
"When you can touch each other, it's not too late to thank me."
Xia De said, looked away, and poured tea for Rezia. There was a smile on the corner of Leiziya's mouth, she shook her head slightly:
"It's really our luck to meet you."
"Then go thank the doctor, it was the doctor who met me."
Xia De snorted, and put the cat on his lap that seemed to be asleep again on the sofa. The cat wriggled a bit, and curled up as if afraid of catching a cold:
"Then about the Red Butterfly pendant, go find Old John yourself. I only know so much. Maybe Old John can make a better Red Butterfly. Please let me know when you succeed."
He pointed to the information on the coffee table:
"In addition, the matter of Lieutenant Southon that you asked me to investigate is already clear. He did have a lot of expenses recently, and even smoked cigars, but the public said that he played cards with people in the city and won A lot of money."
The gentle expression on Leiziya's face was swept away, her face turned cold, and she snorted:
"Sure enough, it seems that I have suffered a shameless betrayal."
Xia De made a gesture of wiping his neck, Leiziya was amused by him, and shook her head slightly:
"It's not that serious. It's just that someone is reselling my goods. The harm caused by those little mice is not great, but I have to let them know what the price is. In fact, I have some small businesses myself, in Midsea In the warehouse in Fort Fort, there is a batch of goods that are going to be shipped to Carson Rik next month."
Xia De nodded to express his understanding. It is impossible for the princesses and princes of Carson Rik not to use their power to earn gold pounds for themselves.
"Do me another favor. Help me go to Fort Midhill to take inventory of the warehouse. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just count the number of boxes. You can do it to ensure that there are no other tricks. I want to warn them. "
This kind of thing can also be done by Leiziya's local forces, but Xia Delai can do it faster.
"No problem, I planned to go to Fort Midhill in the afternoon. Where is the address? Should I sneak in quietly, or use some identity to contact your people?"
Xia De asked, it was just a few extra steps for him.
"Sneak in quietly. This time, I must let them know the price of betraying me."
The corners of her mouth were raised, and a cold expression that Dorothy would never make appeared on her face. Seeing Xia De looking at her in surprise, she smiled again:
"What's wrong?"
She's really good at controlling expressions.
"Oh, nothing, where's the address?"
"No. 19, Punjab Street, right in the city center. I'll go there next Tuesday, the first day of the month of dead leaves. It's a holiday that day, and the warehouse is almost empty when the goods are finished in the morning."
"Ok, no problem."
Shad nodded, then hesitated. He had heard of the warehouse on Punjab Street from another place.
The information from Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Seth transmitted by the Grey-headed Eagle is, [On the last day of this month, your goods are in the warehouse with the red door plate in Fort Midhill - Punjab Street]. As for the warehouse with the red doorplate, Xia De also specifically confirmed that it is No. 18 Punjab Street, which is only separated from Leiziya's cargo warehouse by a wall.
"What a coincidence."
"Xia De, how can I thank you? I remember Dorothy said that you seem to have a lot of expenses recently, so you are short of gold pounds?"
Rezia asked tentatively.
"No no no, don't give me gold pounds."
Xia De did this to prevent himself from becoming a softie. He didn't think it was worthwhile to help Leiziya:
"If you like, I'd rather see the diary of your original exchange with Dorothy. I've always been interested in that."
"Oh, that's not okay."
Rezia shook her head slightly, her attitude was very firm:
"This is not suitable for you to read. In my opinion, why not... I'll help you prepare some autumn clothes. I noticed that your closet is full of old clothes. You can't wear them when you go out."
Probably Rezia's definition of "old clothes" is different from Shad's. The autumn clothes in Shad's wardrobe are all prepared for Detective Sparrow before his death, and they are new clothes bought at a reduced price this spring.
"Okay~www.mtlnovel.com~ If it's just some clothes, Xia De doesn't mind.
"Also, have you ever kissed a freshly showered Goldilocks?"
Rezia asked again.
"of course not."
So Leizia, whose hair was still wet, sat next to Xia De, wearing only the thin blouse, and hugged Xia De.
Maybe Adelina was right, Rezia really liked kissing.
"Meow~"
Mia, who was coiled into a ball, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two suspiciously. After screaming, she patted Xia De with her small paw.
"Um?"
Xia De pushed away the girl in front of him, and shouted with surprise on his face:
"Dorothy!?"
The pair of emerald green eyes looked at him at a close distance, quite resentful:
"Really, next time you must get rid of your cat first, and then try to see if you can tell us apart."
"That's not mine..."
"Shut up, Shad."
The female writer said, wiped her lips with her fingers, and looked at the man in front of her tenderly:
"Rezia said that she wanted to thank you personally, so I agreed to exchange with her. I didn't expect her to thank you like this."
Her eyes were a little shy, but she still boldly gave Xia De a brief kiss:
"It was hers just now, and this is my thank you."
His face was slightly red, and he bit his lower lip carefully. She is still not as bold as Rezia, and this may be the only difference between the two.
