Chapter 104 Professor Manning
Now is the third day after the Lakeview Manor incident, Luisa The young lady recovered quickly, and when she and Shade walked along the boulevard, she couldn't see that she was still alive by [False Immortality] three days ago.

Presumably all pretty girls like cute cats. Miss Luisa was very interested in Mia and thought it was Shade's adopted pet. But even though it was explained that it was fostered at home, the blonde girl still wanted to hug the small orange cat, but Mia refused to leave Shade.

"Detective, you are really good at keeping cats."

"Speaking of which, can I take the cat with me? Do you want to send Mia back first?"

Shade asks again, he actually enjoys "seeing the world" with the High Rank ring warlock.

"No need, this trip is very safe, you can take this as a great insight. Detective, sooner or later you will also recover the [relic] alone."

Lu Miss Yi Sha said lightly, and then directed Shade to join her at the next intersection, turning into Tyon Academy Street on the right.

As Shade guessed, Miss Luysha was here to recover a relic. The cause of the incident was the death of an old writer who lived alone who was acquainted with Miss Luyisa two months ago. When people who knew the old man helped him sort out his belongings, Miss Luisa found out from his diary that the writer had a magical pen.

"Can you write a paper automatically, or write a report automatically?"

Shade guessed that half of the houses on this street were actually gray stone houses, very styled. Similar, they are all three layers. Stepping into this place is like returning to the Middle Ages from the age of steam. But the steam pipes clinging to the stone walls, the clothes of the pedestrians roaming the streets and the cries of hawking everywhere reminded all the time that this is the age of steam.

Tion Academy Street should be the old neighborhood of Tobesque.

"Detective, how could such a good thing happen, and [Relic] is not something that can be used casually."

Miss Luyesha said, walking forward side by side with Shade . Shade noticed that today Miss Luysha no longer showed the small gesture of touching her earlobe frequently.

"I took the diary privately and found that if the pen used the writer's blood as ink to draw any human figure in letters on paper, then that figure could enter. In the writer's dream, and then."

She glanced at Shade, Shade blinked:
"Why didn't you say it?"

I heard the woman in my head He suddenly realized that he didn't think in this direction at all:
"No no, no need to explain, I understand. But how can there still be such a relic?"

Passed by After Tyon Academy Street, the two continued to walk eastwards, and after passing the private Tyon Mechanical College, they turned into Cat Tail Alley where their destination was.

"This is not the strangest relic, I've seen even stranger. But this relic is not weak. I found the information from the Academy's library, [Happy Dream Pen], According to the classification, it should be Level 4. This pen will take the initiative in the dream, tempting the user to use it in the correct way, ordinary person will try to use his own blood under the influence of his normal curiosity. Writing words that led to tragedy. I suspect the death of its original owner had something to do with it."

Shade nodded, thinking about the pen's possible use for the ring warlock. Then I found that at least this pen was of no use to me. The dream pen absorbs the blood of the user, not the blood of the enemy, so it cannot constitute a condition for absorbing the power of the gods.

Miss Luyesha continued to speak:
"After the old writer died, the pen disappeared for no apparent reason. I searched for it for two months, only to find out that the pen was sold before the writer died. It was given to an old professor named Tiris Manning who lived nearby. Professor Manning is a collector and I just wanted to visit him today."

Professor Manning lives in Cat Tail Lane In the apartment on the 17th, when they searched along the house number, the little girl who sold flowers in the alley came towards him.

I probably misunderstood the relationship between Shade and Miss Luysha. The little girl who sold flowers took the initiative to come up to sell the goods. After being politely rejected by Shade, the flowers in the flower basket were almost stretched out by the cat that Shade was holding. bite.

See the little girl with patches on her clothes and obviously inappropriate shoes on her feet. Although she didn't buy the flowers, Shade gave her threepence as compensation for being frightened by Mia.

"didn't expect you to have such kindness."

After the little girl who sold flowers left, Miss Luysha jokingly said, she knew Shade's financial situation Not great either.

"They're all pitiful people. Although I can't help everyone, I'm happy to help the people in front of me without affecting me. Mia, threepence will be deducted from your dinner, You can't eat indiscriminately."

Shade touched the cat's head while talking, and the orange cat squirmed in dissatisfaction.

Miss Luyissa smiled softly:
"You are really a good person. If the poor girl in the fairy tale could meet you, there would not be so many tragedies."

17 Cat Tail Lane is a three-storey apartment building with a loft with a dark yellow façade that runs along the bottom end of the street and is covered in moss. Judging from Miss Luysha's preliminary investigation, the entire building is owned by Professor Manning.

Because the appointment had been made in advance, after knocking on the door, the fat maid who opened the door confirmed the identity of the visitor and invited the two of them in. Miss Luyesha is the buyer this time, and Shade is a entourage hired by Miss Luyesha, who is responsible for protecting the weak lady carrying a large amount of cash on body protection.

No. 17, Cattail Lane, is divided into left and right sides, one side is rented out, and Professor Manning lives in the right building. Under the guidance of the fat maid, they walked along the slightly narrow stairs to the second floor. The professor entertained the two of them in the crowded study room on the second floor full of books.

The walls of the study are covered with photographs of Professor Manning, who appears to be a professor of archaeology, who traveled around the old continent when he was young. Even the books stacked in the study are mostly history books. The price of professional books in this era is still very expensive, and professors should be quite wealthy.

Professor Manning is a tall, thin, bald old man wearing round-rimmed glasses. Probably because he had been teaching for too long, when he greeted Miss Luisa and Shade, his tone of voice was like he was lecturing. But the old professor was kind and treated them with very good black tea.

He also has a pet cat at home, so he doesn't blame the detective for bringing the cat to the house. It's just that the dark cat seemed to be an adult and was very interested in Mia. He hid his body behind the desk and stuck his head out to look at the orange cat that Shade was holding.

But Mia didn't seem to want to play with it like she didn't see it.

PS: Since it was asked before. Explain Shade's "literal knowledge" ability. Can read and understand, can't speak, can't write.

When you see words, you can know the meaning and pronunciation. I just know the pronunciation of the sentences I saw, but I still can't speak the language.
