Chapter 177 The Cold Afternoon

"Mr Hamilton, the results of divination and prophecy are often vague, And it has a metaphorical character. So, it may not mean that you can be a Knight, but something else. Besides, divination is not always right."

Mr. Stein folded his hands and admitted regretfully Road, Shade did not express an opinion on this, but made a looked thoughtful appearance.

Think about what to have for dinner.

After the divination, he bid farewell to Mr. Stein and Mr. Mark and left the Society of Prophets. It was supposed to be paid after the divination, but both gentlemen insisted not to accept Shade's money, and two shillings was nothing compared to his contribution to the Tobesque branch in the Lord's card matter.

On the contrary, Mr. Mark invited Shade to visit the association frequently. In addition to the regular Rhodes game, the association often holds poker games together with many Rhodes hobbyist clubs in the city. There are even occasional regular gatherings between fortune-tellers hobby, and Mr. Mark quietly hints to Shade that a lot of nice girls will be there.

Back from the cool indoors to the outdoors, the muggy air woke the sleeping cat. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shade decided to go home and read to kill the rest of the day. It snowed in the study, but it was more comfortable than the divination room of the Prophet Society.

Not long after I left the Prophet Society, I was walking along the Silver Cross Avenue with a cat that was getting hot and anxious, when I saw a young girl with long brown hair coming. It was Iluna Bea. think.

There is no one else around her, and she walks around like an ordinary citizen. After meeting Shade, I gave him a wink, and Shade consciously didn't say hello.

So half an hour later, he welcomed Miss Bayas again at home.

After being invited into the room by Shade, Miss Beas did not take her seat immediately, but after being allowed, walked into the kitchen of Room 1 on the second floor and observed the Yodell Palace from the kitchen window.

Because of the layout of the room, this window is the best place to view Yodell Palace.

"No problem."

She wiped the sweat from her forehead before returning to the living room to sit. He tilted his head and glanced at the side of the coffee table. Snowflakes fell from the ceiling one after another, and then fell into the water basin beside the coffee table.

extend the hand to pick up some snowflakes, the cold feeling makes the young girl very comfortable:
"Detective, what are you doing?"

"Here Cool down the room."

Shade, who was preparing tea in the kitchen, said, of course, Miss Beas couldn't think of Mystic Art like this, but it was just some kind of small area that Shade mastered to attract Snowflake Mystic Art:
"You have to pay attention to your consumption. There is not much spirit in a ring of warlock. If you waste too much, what will you do if you encounter a dangerous situation?"

"That's right, but it's too hot, Miss Beas, what were you doing just now? Didn't you happen to be passing by?"

"Of course not, it's Blackrock The mission of the security company."

Shade thought she would keep the mission information secret, but didn't expect to say it directly, as if complaining to Shade:
"The royal family wants to find someone The one-week protection of the Yodell Palace by Warlock, I heard that it was related to spies. The church did not want to get involved in this kind of thing. Our cooperation with the royal family does not include being a bodyguard for the other party. But it seems that the king promised to make some religious regulations. Relax and promise that we only need to protect the yordle palace, pay attention to the bold ring warlock, the ordinary person does not need to pay attention, so we are transferred. The job content is to monitor the yordle palace perimeter, looking for suspicious people."

Although she said that, she was sitting on Shade's sofa and had no intention of leaving. He raised his head and looked towards Shade, the broken hair on his forehead fell to the side, and complained in his mouth:

"Detective, do you know how painful it is to keep walking outdoors in this weather? I'm on duty. The time is from one to four in the afternoon, which is the hottest time."

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed a handful of snow from the water basin. Frozen icy hands to catch the cat. But the Mia cat, who has become smarter recently, jumped directly onto Shade's lap very agilely.

Shade was very interested in the church ring warlock, so he continued to inquire:
"I don't know much about you, so this matter is whether it is the Blackstone Security Company appointed by the royal family or the church. The task for you? This involves the question of remuneration."

"It all counts, so in addition to the contribution of the church, there is also a large amount of remuneration, Captain, they are very happy. I am also very happy, and I don't even have to pay. Taxes."

Shade expressed envy but didn't say it.

Beas said, looked around Shade's living room, hesitated before asking:

"Detective, I can stay here until four o'clock in the afternoon. I won't bother you, don't worry about that."

"Oh? Is your work not going on?"

Shade pointed in the direction of Yodel Palace, Although Miss Bayas was immature, he always believed that she should be the kind of person who is very responsible.

“I moved a chair and sat at the window over there, and I saw more than when I was walking around the street.”

She pointed in the direction of the kitchen .

"But stay with me, once you find something suspicious near Yodell Palace, it seems like you can't get there right away unless you just jump out of the window."

Shade again Said, not to drive the other party away, but to worry about delaying things.

"It doesn't matter, the chance of an accident during the day itself is low, so the main task is to observe, not fight and arrest. Otherwise, a second-ring warlock like me will not participate in the task."

After finishing speaking, sorry asked again:
"Can I stay here? It's just one day today, and tomorrow is the rotation of other squads, so we don't care about things."

Shade thought about it, and it seemed that there was no need to drive her away:
"No problem, but don't force Mia to follow you."

He saw that Miss Bayas wanted to The attempt to catch Mia was laughed by the female warlock sorry, but she probably did not give up the idea of hugging the orange cat.

"I promise not to touch your cat today. It's better to sit here than on the street. The temperature here is really good."

She said happily, standing up and tidying up I checked my skirt, adjusted the folds at the neckline of my blouse, and went to move the chair.

I was worried that Miss Bayas's appearance would bring about another accident, but nothing happened until she left Sainte-de-Land Square that evening.

All afternoon, Miss Beas was at the window, drinking tea while dutifully observing the vicinity of Yodell Palace. And Shade sat on the sofa with a book, chatting with her one after another, it was a slightly cold afternoon.

PS: Transition chapter. But any plot is useful.
