Chapter 302 The Old God of Space and Time
According to the agreement, after successfully receiving the inheritance, LeMay Mrs. Erle was required to pay Shade £5 in cash as a gratuity. This is one-tenth of Madame Le Maire's inheritance, which is definitely not a small amount even for a middle-aged woman today.

Of course, she didn't regret it when she actually wanted to pay. On the one hand, this is indeed a kind woman, on the other hand, now in a cramped room, some malnourished middle-aged women would not want to annoy a young and strong detective.

But when she was about to hand the money to Shade, Shade waved her hand and refused:

"I don't think I have to pay the commission fee in cash, I want these books. "

He pointed to the pile of old books that were placed with the old clothes:

"These old books are very interesting. Why don't you give me the books to deduct part of the commission fee. Of course , Mrs. Le Maire, if you're worried that I won't be able to give you the correct price, you can also get someone to appraise these old books."

"No, Detective, I trust you, please. Just take it."

The lawyer just now said that those old books are worthless, so the middle-aged woman did not doubt Shade's behavior.

He reached out and pulled the box containing the old books in front of him, then found the old books and the diary together and piled them together. Madame Le Maire did not care about the notebooks, which, perhaps, seemed to this illiterate woman to be the same thing as a book.

"A total of 7 books, most of which are adventure novels, and a few logbooks and diaries, if the estimate. A shilling?"

Although Mrs. Le Maire I have never bought a book, but I also know that the price is not very high, but it is definitely not low. The middle-aged woman probably regarded it as Shade taking care of her, and said rather sorry:

"No problem, Detective."

So Shade got the diaries that recorded the crew's secrets, and got more than 4 pounds as a reward. In return, he told the middle-aged woman the address of Old John's pawn shop. There are many things in the estate that are difficult to find suitable uses, and Old John happened to like such messy things, and it was suitable to sell them to him.

It took seven shillings to buy the deceased Ring Warlock's diary, which was considered an advantage by Shade, so before leaving, he also reminded Mrs. Le Maire that the sudden acquisition of so much money, the family Better move to a safer place:
"Many of your neighbors saw me and Lawyer Laurel come to your door today. You'd better make up a plausible reason why we're here. What about the death of the missing husband?"

Shade suggested, the dumb woman didn't know how to answer.

"Anyway, take this money and move out of this place as soon as possible. Most importantly, don't let anyone know that you got this money, preferably not even children Say."

In fact, Mrs. Le Maire can survive with two children, these basic things should be known. Although Shade knew he was talking a lot, he always felt uncomfortable not saying it.

"In addition, you also know my address. If you need help in the future, you can come to me at any time. I have discounts for old customers. Recently, my detective agency has expanded. A lot of business. I wish you a happy life."

This time he took advantage of the other party, and if Mrs. Le Maire really needs help with other things, he will not be stingy with his time.

Leaving the attic and going downstairs, after saying goodbye to the suddenly rich middle-aged woman, standing under the building whose walls were covered in swear words, Shade raised his head and looked towards this building that was destroyed by the surrounding buildings. A house with no sunlight all year round.

With the sudden acquisition of this large sum of money, the life of Mrs. Le Maire's family will definitely change, and the future of the two children will probably also change. But what the story of this family will be after is beyond Shade's imagination.

Maybe in half a year, a year or two years later, he will think of this commission by accident while teasing the cat, or see the record of this commission while sorting out documents, and then find a way to find it. The Le Maire family, see how their lives are going.

But at least for now, Shade is more concerned with his own business. After finishing this commission, in the evening, we have to re-enter the year 3002.

The task corresponding to the time key in the year 3002 of the general calendar is "Help mortals complete the ceremony - contact the old god to change the door", although it sounds better than the 1068 key "witness the last wish of the old god" It's easy, but Shade thinks that the "Pure Creator" can actually fully satisfy the three wishes of the children. Only when he sees his "future child" appears, he will let himself come with the mentality of "seeking fun".

It sounds ridiculous, but based on Shade's brief time with the old god, he's probably right.

The mission this time is to help the three Demonesses who are in trouble with their ceremony, really in trouble. Therefore, even if the gods will be contacted at the end of this mission, the difficulty of the mission is not any less than the first time.

Up to now, Shade has obtained the information of the old god "Brave Gate" from various channels. The age of the appearance of this old god is unknown, and the earliest documents describing the name of the old god come from the Third Age. Similar to [Innocent Creator], the old god [Yuanbian Gate] is also a very low-key god, and the number of its believers is extremely rare, and there is even no definite evidence to prove that his believers have formed a cult.

According to the information of the Church of the Orthodox God, the old god [Glorious Gate] has time and Space Power. The most important event related to it is that at the end of the fourth era or the early fifth era, it appeared in the material world in the form of a saint, preventing the material world caused by the loss of control of the angel-level (Level 1) relic [broken old world map]. Land changes. That cataclysm led directly to the formation of the Five Continents of the Fifth Era, and had an impact on an entire era of civilization.

Because Miss Feliciana tried to call the god ceremony in the fifth era, Shade originally thought that there would be more information about this god in the Academy library, and even Miss Feliciana would stay. , but Miss Denister gave Shade no more information than the church.

Even if the matter of Miss Feliana is regarded as a secret by the Academy and cannot be leaked at will, it is not right that the information of the old god [The Gate of Radiance] is so scarce, there is no need for the Academy to hide things about this god . In the current situation, it seems that Miss Feliana's call to God has never happened, so St. Byrons has no information.

Shade couldn't help but feel a little worried. There were probably other surprises in 3002.

However, the information Luvia found from the Prophet Association was unexpected. It was different from the Five Orthodox Churches and the three Mystic Art Academy which only appeared in the Fifth Era. The Prophet Association and the [Blood Spirit School] ], both are ancient organizations that have gone through several epochs.

The association found some of the books listed by Miss Feliana, and Luvia even found a book about the god "Space" in the database of the Tobesque branch. old book.

But that book is confidential to the Society and cannot be taken out of the library. So Luvia can only transcribe what Shade needs. The information is not long, only half a page, it roughly explains the role of the holy emblem of the old god [The Gate of Glory] in the mysticism ceremony, and explains that this god not only has power in time and space, but he even There is also power in nature.

Although the scope of the god's vocation does not indicate whether it is powerful or not, from the information in hand, it is definitely not easy to contact the ceremony of the old god [Yuanbian Gate].

After leaving Mrs. Le Maire's house, Shade spent the rest of the day compiling this information. But after dinner in the evening, unexpected guests came to visit.

That was Captain Radees, and Shade saw him again for the first time since his ceremony two weeks ago. He has now received a notification from the Delarion Imperial Family Army that he will return to the front-line Windchill Trail in late August or September.

This time the captain came, in addition to inviting Shade to find time to go out for a drink before he left, he also informed Shade that he was now living somewhere else.

The honor has washed away the shame, and with the help of friends, Captain Radees, with the rank of lieutenant, rents a nice apartment in the Western Region of Tobeysk, and plans to spend his time there. the rest of summer.

"Man's destiny is so fickle, and my ups and downs this year have been more complicated than the first half of my life. Detective Hamilton, I sometimes wonder how destiny sees us like this. Mortal."

"Captain, are you thinking about philosophy?"

Shade asked with a smile, different from the first time he ran into the captain at the club, the spirit of Captain Radees now The appearance has changed greatly. He has completely come out of the title of "Captain Eight Guns" and is about to face a new life.

"No, it's supposed to be theology."

Captain Radeesshook the head:
"Detective, do you want to play Rhodes? No money, just two Well, I know you're a good Rhodes player."

"Not tonight."

Shade shook his head regretfully:

"I'll be back in a while. I have to go out, and I have an important commission to do tonight. The commissioner is a great character who deserves respect. Captain, let’s play cards together next time we have a chance."

"Well, since So I say goodbye. Oh, what happened last week, you know? Then even the chief of police at Ridwich Field was broken into and killed, and the curfew is over, but it's better not to be in town at night If your client's identity is really unusual, you can pretend that I didn't say it, I heard Miss Jialina."

He closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more, he wanted to come Also heard the rumors.

Shade went downstairs to say goodbye to the captain and watched the captain walk away from St. Teresa Square. As he held the door, he thought to himself that among the ordinary persons he had encountered so far who had come into contact with the relics, either Professor Manning and Captain Radees had their lives greatly affected, or those like the Little Girl Family and the mermaid statue. The crowd faces mortal danger like everyone else.

This world is really very unfriendly to the ordinary person, especially to the unlucky ordinary person.

"After I came to this world, I was able to meet Dr. Schneider immediately. This should not be the doctor's luck, but my luck."

sighed adjusted his mood and closed the door. The door returned to the study, and once again sorted out the information about the old gods that he had found. After eleven o'clock in the evening, I played with Mia for a while, and planned to have time to give the cat a bath.

The old days were very dangerous, and Mia will not be with me this time. After the clock struck midnight, Shade stood in front of the bedroom door with a suitcase containing documents and inserted the broken key into the keyhole:
"May the World Tree bless infinite time. I'm in."

With a click, the keyhole turned, and Shade opened the door. The familiar white mist wafted out from behind the door like silk. Shade reached out and tried to catch it, but the white mist was not something that could be caught:

"Mia, wait for me for three seconds."

The cat who is familiar with Shade walking into this kind of door every now and then is no longer curious about the current situation. Lying on the sofa lazily meow~ In response, his head rested on his two small paws, squinting his eyes as if he was dozing off.

But in fact the cat could still see Shade, it watched Shade walk into the door, and then waited obediently for his return.
