Chapter 129 Shade's Words

"Is that so?"

Brown The long-haired young girl also seemed to be watching herself through Shade's eyes, rubbing the golden rings on her fingers.

Shade has mastered the art of talking to Miss Beas:
"Yes, and we all need each other. You seem to be a newcomer in the so-called warlock of the Orthodox Church, and you want to show yourself, so you need additional sources of intelligence outside of the church, and you need reliable helpers and connections in this kind of city.”

Shade pointed to himself, realizing for the first time how good he was. Eloquence:
"And I am active as a detective in the city of Tobesque, and sooner or later I will encounter the dangers of today again, and I also need someone who can help me in those moments."

He instead Taking a step towards Miss Beas, the other party subconsciously stepped back, and then he was slightly annoyed that he was frightened by the ordinary person.

Shade held out his hand:

"Although it's only the first time we met today, I'm the crappy detective at St. Teresa Square, and you're the low-ring warlock of the Supreme Sun Cult. , we all need each other's strength, this is a very good cooperation. And the beginning of cooperation is to keep the secret of today's matter with each other."

Iluna Beas stared at Shade, When Shade almost thought she was going to refuse, she extended the hand and held the hand of the stranger:

"You must be a detective who is very difficult to deal with, not because of your social circle, but It's because of your wit."

"Thanks, but I'm not really interested in the detective profession. Miss Bayas, if possible, must find the man who killed Mrs. Lawrence."

As he spoke, he looked towards the carriage and the corpse lying in the alley:
"Then what do we do now?"

"The corpse is left here, don't care, we leave immediately, Don't let the club's investigation have anything to do with the homicide here. Then I'll use my channel to report the incident to the church. They want to take us away, so no one will notice that we boarded It's this carriage."

Miss Bayas arranged it so skillfully that Shade suspected she had done it before.

"As for you, detective, I think I will visit you in the near future, and I hope you will keep your promise. Of course, you should also pay attention to safety recently. There are many dangerous people in the city, not long ago there was one. A man is under the moon, and an easy move caused an earthquake in the southern part of the city."

Miss Bayas seemed to have infinite emotions about this:
"When will I be able to have that kind of power."

"I won't tell your secret about that."

Shade can only answer this way, and in this way, it will not spoil Miss Anat's plan.

"But when I take the initiative to tell her that I am a ring warlock, do I need to apologize for today's concealment?"

He asked himself inwardly.

While the detective and the female warlock are just, it doesn't matter if you get spills of war after a murder.

Miss Bayas took the "sword" and Shade was allowed to take the coins from the two bodies. But it is a pity that neither the man killed by the gun of kindness nor the guy killed by the "sunshine gun" has the habit of going out with all his belongings.

The change Shade found on the two of them added up to 3 pounds 5 shillings and 10 pence.

"I thought you wizards would be rich."

He also complained to Miss Beas, who exclaimed:
"We're a ring warlock, not a wizard, and there's never enough gold pounds, it's the same for anyone."

When Shade and Miss Bayas parted and walked home, It's time for dinner.

But it was rare that he didn't play with Mia for a while after returning home. Instead, he first drew the curtains in the living room, and in the dim environment, cautiously took out the envelope hidden in his chest.

Mia rushed over immediately, thinking it was something to eat, but was immediately grabbed by Shade with one hand on the back of her neck. Shade came to his bedroom with the cat in one hand and the envelope in the other, still drawing the curtains and sitting at the desk without turning on the gas light in the room.

Carefully unscrew the gas lamp on the table, and there is some light in the dark room. Putting Mia on her lap, she took out the banknotes in the envelope with both hands, carefully counted them while licking her lips, and placed the banknotes in stacks of ten under the table light.

The elegant brass gas table lamp wasn't turned on at full capacity, so it only illuminated the tabletop area, not Shade's face. The foreigner looked at his hand under the lamp and quickly and skillfully counted the number of gold pounds.

The dwarf orange cat couldn't reach the table on Shade's legs, so he could only step on Shade's legs with his hind paws, and his front paws clawed at the table to barely stick out half of his small head from under the table.

It watched the man's hand skillfully twisting the banknotes. The cat couldn't understand the specific meaning of those pieces of paper, but thought this scene was very interesting.

After counting the money and reloading it, Shade sat in the dimly lit room for ten minutes, holding the cat with his head up. He carefully sealed the letter in the drawer and pressed several books on the envelope. He solemnly put the drawer key into his pocket before leaving the room.

When entering the living room, a smile finally bloomed on the calm face. He picked up Mia with both hands, raised it high, and put it down when the cat didn't know why:

"Let's go out to eat."

He stroked the well-behaved orange cat , life is really getting better.

Regarding the contact with Miss Beas, she should have informed the female fortune teller as soon as possible to confirm whether it would affect her "smart plan". But Shade didn't know the fortune-teller's address. Fortunately, on Friday, he went to the Prophet's Association to make the final appraisal of [Founder Silver Moon]. Maybe there was a chance to meet Miss Anat in the association.

(Xia is running.)

When I woke up early on Friday morning, it was gloomy outside, and it seemed like it was going to rain. So Shade took an umbrella and went out, but just as he reached the entrance of Silver Cross Avenue, a light rain fell from the sky.

Under the rainy sky, the city is still shrouded in a thin gray fog, which is one of the reasons why Tobesque has the title of "Northern Fog City" besides the "Northern Pearl".

Stepping on the Silver Cross Avenue and stepping on the pavement paved with rectangular stone bricks under your feet, the mood is much better than the bad weather.

The entrance of the Prophet's Association is still crowded with people. Even if there is no weather forecast, it is difficult for people not to think of taking an umbrella when they see the gloomy sky. Restricted by dye technology, most practical umbrellas in this era are black, but the prototype of folding umbrellas has appeared.

The four-wheeled carriage passed by Shade and stopped at the gate of the association. The police officers also stopped to take a look when they passed by.

Before the rain got worse, Shade joined the crowd at the entrance of the Prophet's Association, carrying a cane and an umbrella. to the door.

After entering the room, I want to see the bulletin board on the side of the gate. Although it is not necessary to sell the Rhodes cards obtained from Professor Manning because of the large income, it is good to know the current market conditions.
