Chapter 376 Transaction of Hermit Order
After finishing the contact with the school, the five people also talked about own life.

Dorothy is excited to get everyone else to start subscribing to Steam Bird Daily next week, her detective novel will begin serialization. In the past, Dorothy's works were all published directly through the publishing house, but this is the first time to try newspaper serialization.

If Shade remembers correctly, the editors of Steam Bird Daily were mostly students of Dorothy's father, Professor Luisa, so no matter what the quality of the detective novel was, she could The pages you get should all be pretty good, and Shade wouldn't be surprised if the serialized novel is behind the news of the first edition.

"Dorothy, even a novel that is serialized in a newspaper should have a name. What name do you want to name your detective novel? Is it the original "Mystery in Scarlet"?"

Luvia curiously asked.

"No, I'm going to make it a long-running serial, now called "Hamilton Detective Tales."

"en?"

Shade, who was about to drink tea, choked.

"What's wrong?"

Goldilocks smiled and looked towards Shade:

"Using the real detective's name can make the story look more like Really. If my novel is famous, Shade, it's also a business for you. Plus, Hamilton isn't such an uncommon last name that it won't get people to you."

" So do you have any plans for next week? Although the summer exam week is over, I still want to remind you that you can't relax your studies."

The doctor asked again.

"I plan to be promoted to Central before the end of the year, and now the language of sublimation is completely fine."

She glanced at Shade.

"With [Forged Sage's Stone] as the core replacement material for ceremony, I now only need to get those ceremony materials that don't need to be replaced by relics."

This is Dorothy's plan.

"Holy Prayer is over, and I don't have anything else important to do in the second half of the year. I'm busy at church, I've signed up for a new elective, and I'm studying potion making."

Augustus priest said that, under normal circumstances, the life of the priest is the most leisurely.

"I've been very busy recently, and there is still a big half a month, the big city player Rhodes Tournament is about to start. Now the association is sending out invitations, and the players of the old and new continents are also Gathering here. The association has a lot of work, and I don’t have much free time until September.”

Luvia said regretfully.

Finally it was Shade's turn, he thought for a while:
"Recently, I was helping a nobleman with a fish commission. I'm done with this next week, and I'll probably deal with the former detective. Two commissions. Oh, a new grade has begun, so many books, it will take a long time to read all of them."

Here, he asked Augustus priest again:

“Does the ring warlock cultivated by the church also have so much learning content?”

Shade seems to have never heard Iluna complain that she still has to study at ordinary times, only she said Live the days of training in the Holy See.

"The church ring warlock will have a special few years to learn knowledge in a safe place, just like a school. After reaching the specified age and being promoted to the second ring, they will be sent to various parishes. Although there are also learning tasks, but it is very low compared to us."

priest replied, although he is not a church ring warlock, but he is still very clear about these things, and Shade thinks it is even more than now A young 15- or 16-year-old Iluna walks in a church school in uniform.

"Isn't the church's ring warlock not as knowledgeable as us?"

Shade could only think of this description.

“The church is more inclined to cultivate practical and professional warlock, while the three Mystic Art Academy want to inherit knowledge and cultivate academic warlock. Of course, it is different.”

Dr. Schneider on the side said, and then concluded:
"It's hard to say which is better, but it's not a bad thing to read more books while you're young."

This week everyone There wasn't much to do. The doctor brought a bottle of red wine. After everyone celebrated Shade's promotion to the second grade, they each left at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Dorothy has lessons for Shade at night, so she leaves with him. Although there are a lot of books this time, because of Mystic Art [Toy Manufacturing], there is no need to rent a carriage. Shade borrowed a large sheet from the doctor, turned the books into lighter toy dolls, and stuffed them into paper bags that were lighter than Mia.

And when I got home, the new book was temporarily placed in Shade's basement along with more than 100 other books.

We chatted a bit about Coldwater Harbor at home again, and at five o'clock, Shade invited Goldilocks to go out to dinner. Of course, Mia also followed the two of them, and it didn't mind going out of the house when they were eating.

After dinner, Shade and Dorothy went for a cat walk in the boulevard of the university district, that is, Shade walked with the cat and Dorothy along the street under the sunset. When they were in the splendid sunset afterglow, they were talking about what Laccia was doing far away in Cold Water Harbor. When Shade reached for the key to open the door of his house, the expedited letter from Professor Madison in the city was also delivered by the postman on time. . Shade and Dorothy had mentioned that they were busy with the second time key, so no further explanation was needed this time.

Professor Madison gave good news, led the Hermit Order in the local ring warlock, agreed to meet with Shade and make a deal. The other party set the location at the White Swan Restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue, which is only one street away from Saint Derain Square.

It was an upscale restaurant, and Shade knew it, because the White Swan Restaurant was just across the street from the Prophet's Guild and half a block from Yodel Palace.

"Is the other party being too cautious?"

Dorothy was also surprised when she heard the location:
"It's as if the other party is afraid of you doing something bad. Shade, do you really know about this organization?"

"Actually don't know at all."

Shade went into the study and took the map left by Detective Sparrow. Come out and study the surrounding terrain:

"Dorothy, you and I will walk with you in a moment. But you don't go into the restaurant, but outside. I'll choose a window seat, if you look When I suddenly scratched my hair, I came to help."

Actually, Shade didn't think the other party would do anything. Silver Cross, where Del Palace is located, is definitely the safest location.

As for why not choose to meet at the church door, the normal ring warlock will not have this idea.

After discussing the plan, Shade went out first, and Dorothy went to Silver Cross avenue ten minutes later than Shade.

In the evening of early August, the air was very warm, and the afterglow of the dusky setting sun pierced through the hazy fog and shone on the ground. After Shade leaves St. Teresa Square, cross the straight Queen Catherine Walk outside the square and enter Silver Cross.

On Silver Cross Avenue in the evening, pedestrians and carriages flowed endlessly, Imperial Family bodyguards in uniform patrolled the streets, and the gate of the Prophet Society was crowded with people. While most people in this world will not end their work at six o'clock in the evening, for those who have relatively decent jobs in the heart of the Pearl of the North, six o'clock marks the end of the perfection of the day's work.

Shade was wearing a white shirt, a black formal suit and a black hat, walking hurriedly along the street. After calculating the time, I came to the door of the White Swan Restaurant at 6:19.

Two young waiters in uniform at the door of the restaurant opened the door for Shade one by one. Then, a fat middle age person wearing a white shirt and black uniform with a bow tie came:

"Mr. Hamilton, may I help you?"

"You know me?"

Shade asked in surprise.

“I know all the nobles in this area.”

middle age person said with a faint smile.

“I have a friend for dinner here, find me a table by the window. Also, give me the menu when my friend arrives.”

“Ok. , Mr. Hamilton, please come this way."

That's probably the benefit of having a great title.

He led Shade and sat down at the table by the window, a rather large round table with a white tablecloth and golden candlesticks. Shade put the hat on his right hand by the window, then took out a box of Candle Brand matches from his pocket and put it on the hat as a token of the meeting.

Sure enough, within five minutes, a middle-aged gentleman with beautiful black hair walked in.

Said to be middle-aged, but in fact, he should be over forty years old, but he looks very energetic. Holding his cane, he spoke to the waiter at the door of the restaurant, and then looked towards Shade under the guidance of the waiter.

【Ring warlock. ]

The whispering voice in the ear reminded.

Shade stood up and greeted the other party with a smile, and the middle age person who looked very scholarly flavor also walked over with a smile.

Shade reaches out:

"Good evening, sir. I'm Shade Hamilton, detective at St. Teresa Place."

Neither middle age person After hesitating, he shook Shade enthusiastically:
"Good evening, Mr. Hamilton, I'm Seaver Randall, working in the university district."

【Sihuan. ]

The voice in his ear continued to whisper, and the smile on Shade's face was even stronger:
"You are also a professor?"

"No, no, I'm in college. The federation does secretarial work, which is an administrative position."

Mr. Randall said, and sat down with Shade, who so far have been like friends in a normal meeting, with nothing in sight. Secret deal.

The waiter quickly brought two menus. Shade opened it and looked at the price first, and was glad that he had eaten in advance.

On the grounds that he had a habit of eating less at night, he endured heartache and only had a small fruit salad. And Mr. Randall also knew that this time was not for dinner, so like Shade, he didn't order too many things.

"We don't have to be too polite, Mr. Hamilton, what exactly are you looking for us for? Or, it's not you looking for us, but someone behind you looking for us?"

PS: A good detective not only needs to have outstanding business ability, but also someone to help make his name. The Steam Bird Daily has an advertisement for Shade, and then there is a detective novel named after him, although Shade has not realized what this will lead to , but you get the idea. This isn't a spoiler.
