Stepping on her slippers, she went downstairs to get milk and newspapers, and moved the "God's Gift Box" from the basement to upstairs. This week's gift is a chunky brown wool scarf, just right for the season. As for this week's task, it is "no task".
When Xia De got this information from "her", he thought he had heard it wrong, but then he learned why:
[The creators of Innocence believe that children sometimes need a break. 】
"That **** is really respectable."
Xia De muttered in a low voice, put away the scarf and prepared to wear it when it snowed. While "competing" with the cat lying on the scarf for the ownership of the scarf, there was a knock on the door downstairs:
"Could it be the client?"
But when Xia De opened the door, what he saw was Dorothy with her head down. The blond girl looked haggard, as if she came here after simply washing up.
"Come in, oh, Dorothy, don't you have the key? What are you knocking for?"
Shadd let Dorothy in:
"Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? If you haven't had breakfast before talking about it, I can give you the goat's milk from Little Mia. Last time I secretly tasted it, it still tasted very good."
"Meow?"
The cat at the top of the stairs looked at Shad's back.
"No, I have something to tell you, it was stolen from me."
Dorothy stood in the hall and said, Xia De was taken aback:
"Stolen? Oh, it can't be... Judging by the way you look, it must be the relic, [Jack the Thief], isn't it? My Dorothy, don't be sad, it's normal to lose things, I heard yesterday It is said that even the garrison of the ring warlock team of the Orthodox Church has lost something, after all, it is a sage-level relic."
He took Dorothy by the hand:
"Go upstairs before talking. What did you lose? Is it very valuable? Could it also be a relic?"
Xia De comforted:
"The church also lost a secret keeper-level relic. That relic is so arrogant, something will happen sooner or later. A lady's sunshine gun is ready to go, and God will curse this shameless thief."
"No valuables were lost, it was yours that was stolen."
Dorothy was held by Shade and said with her head down.
"My things?"
Xia De blinked, not remembering what it was for a moment.
"Letters, the letters you took from Professor Manning. I sorted out the contents for you yesterday and put them on the desk. When I woke up this morning, I found that the window of the study room was opened for some reason. Among the letters Two are missing."
She raised her head and looked at Xia De worriedly, but saw that Xia De was relieved:
"Dorothy, you really frightened me. I thought it was a big deal to come to me so early, and I probably understood why Dr. Schneider didn't want to see me in the early morning. It's just a few letters, it's all right, I'll If I apologize to Professor Manning, the professor will not mind too much."
The lively cat led the way, and Xia De continued to walk upstairs holding the hand of the blonde girl.
"Is it really okay?"
Dorothy asked in a worried whisper.
"It doesn't matter, but do you still remember the specific content of those two letters? The relic [Jack the Thief] will not steal worthless things, since it just took those two letters, it shows that the German about Huntington I am looking for Professor Lake's clues are in those two letters."
Goldilocks nodded:
"I helped you summarize the content of each letter, and recorded all the doubts. Although I can't restore all the details of the two letters, I remember the general content."
"That's good, thanks for your hard work, Dorothy."
Shad kissed the side of the blonde girl, who seemed to be in a better mood.
[You really don't care that those two letters were stolen? 】
When walking into the room on the second floor, "she" asked softly.
"How could it not care? How dare it steal Dorothy!"
With a smile on his face, Shad brought the prepared breakfast to the table, but Dorothy made Shad sit down, and she would do these things.
"I'm very angry right now~"
Especially speaking this sentence in my heart, the anger became more intense. Dorothy was still preparing breakfast in the kitchen and would not notice Shade's psychological changes, but the cat in Shade's hand tilted its head and looked at him, then whispered "meow~", the cat magically sensed Xia De's psychological changes. It seems that domestic pets have this strange ability.
"She" said softly,
"Understood, but this kind of anger is definitely not just because the divinity is affecting me. It dared to steal Dorothy..."
The blonde girl wore an apron, turned on the gas, and lit the rusty gas stove with a match, obviously thinking that Shade's breakfast was not enough for two people and one cat.
Xia De looked at the figure of the blonde girl:
"Sometimes the right amount of anger helps to stay sane and self-motivated. I will definitely retaliate!"
Though two important letters were lost, Dorothy had sorted out all of them, and summed them up with excellent prose.
Specifically, judging from the letters between Professor Manning of Tobesk and Professor Drake of Huntington, Professor Drake is quite "ambitious" and enterprising. The purpose of his research is quite strong, and while he is full of awe for the unknown and ancient history, he always wants to know more.
Professor Manning has repeatedly warned Professor Drake that some knowledge is not something they can explore at will, but Professor Drake's reply is quite perfunctory.
This description is completely different from the broken-legged Professor Drake that Xia De knew. The Professor Drake he knew was obviously a person who was ascetic and lived like a plant.
Dorothy's notebook also recorded the general contents of the two lost letters.
It was sent by Professor Drake to Professor Manning, asking about the visit of scholars from the two universities next year. This is not an official letter from the school, but an exchange of views and greetings between two respected professors. Among Professor Manning's letters, these two letters did not attract Dorothy's attention at first. She, like Shad, was more concerned about the academic discussions between the two professors.
According to the information Dorothy wrote down, in both letters, Professor Drake described his own health problems. But he was not sick. Instead, he praised his body for being very healthy, and even mentioned that he ran races and stayed up late with the young people at school.
From a normal point of view, there is no problem with this letter, but if it is assumed that there is a problem with this letter, then Professor Drake's "physical health" seems to be quite problematic.
The tone used by Professor Drake in those two letters was quite enthusiastic and positive, even overly enthusiastic. He seemed to have encountered something wonderful, and excitedly envisaged the follow-up of his research, and planned to personally lead a team to participate in the archaeological excavation work in the southern forest of Kasenlik. In his letter, he claimed that "I have mastered my physical potential, and I can work for another 20 years."
Considering Professor Drake's age at the time, this was not an easy task.
Two days before the last of the two letters arrived in the hands of Professor Manning, that is, the third day after the letter was sent from Professor Drake, Professor Drake set out to look for the "Goddess of the Lake" and There was an accident. Therefore, Shad has reason to believe that some unknown phenomenon has affected the professor and made him "very healthy". But then the professor realized that this kind of health was not right, and there was a deadly threat, so he set off for the lake of cherubim.
The three clues obtained from Professor Drake include diaries and books in addition to letters. Professor Drake in the diary claimed that "a double image appeared in front of his eyes", and there were strange words written in the book [knowledge, namely is power].
The former may be related to Professor Drake's "physical health", while the investigation of the latter allows Shad to discover that the strange text originated in the fourth era, and there is no other clue.
"From these cryptic information, it can be inferred that the 'Goddess of the Lake' not only erased the memory of the professor, but also erased other traces as well."
While eating breakfast, Xia De said to Dorothy. The blonde girl still felt sorry for losing the important letter, and nodded when she heard Shade's words:
"Yes, then did the old professor come into contact with some kind of relic, or was he targeted by something more terrifying?"
"It's all possible."
Xia De touched Miya who was on the side:
"I also entrusted Huntington's friends to go to the church to investigate what happened in the city that year. If we can find the incident involving Professor Drake and compare it with the clues we have now, we should be able to know what happened to the professor that year. the truth."
In this way, it means that the second of the four tests of the goddess of the lake has been completed. But Xia De knew that things would not be so simple. Maybe the troubles of the year had not been completely resolved. The real purpose of the "Goddess of the Lake" test was to let Xia De solve that matter.
After breakfast, Dorothy bid farewell to Xia De, and told Xia De that if there was a way to capture the relic that stole the letter, she must be called to help. The blonde girl was really very guilty of this.
Considering the possibility of his own home being stolen, Xia De reconfirmed that the valuables at home had been transferred to the basement before taking Mia out.
Tobesk, the capital of steam today, is still shrouded in thick fog, Shad turned directly to the direction of Silver Cross Avenue after going out. When I arrived at the gate of the Prophet Association, the Prophet Association had already opened the door.
Xia De noticed that the signboard of the association had been replaced with a new one, and the bulletin board had also been replaced with a new style. This should not only be because Princess Margaret is here to participate in the reading salon, but also because there is no place to spend the gold pounds of the Prophet Association... Rhodes is really a very profitable business~www.mtlnovel.com ~Using the pretext of divination for cats as usual, I met Luvia during her working hours.
The staff of the Prophet Association were already used to Shade's behavior. Seeing him coming with the cat in his arms, they went directly to inform Luvia who was on the second floor.
When Luvia opened the door of the divination room, Xia De was "fighting" with Mia with his right hand, that is, playing with the cat. The purple-eyed girl smiled and sat down:
"You can really find fun at any time. Oh, I met Vice President Mark just now. He heard that you are coming. Let me ask you, do you want to participate in the Rhodes Card Competition of the Prophet Association at the end of this year? If you do , I can help you sign up now."
At the end of the year, whether it is an official institution or a steam factory, whether it is a large institution such as the Noble Club or the Prophet Association, they will hold some activities to commemorate the coming year. It may be the year-end summary given by the parliament to His Majesty the King, it may be a little remuneration given by the factory owner to the workers, or it may be a gift from a high-end club to its members.
But for the Prophet Society, the best way to celebrate is to hold a Rhodes card game, which is also an annual practice.
"Sign up first, I will participate if I have time."
Shad skipped the topic of Rhodes cards:
"I need your help with something."
He put the remaining two coins - [Coin of Wisdom] and [Dandelion Coin] on the table:
"Help me divination one thing."
