Whispering Poems.

Chapter 36 The Returning Doctor

"Detective, you are very lucky, if it wasn't for this relic in my hand, probably this transaction would not have gone so smoothly. After all, for a weak ring warlock, too mysterious knowledge and too powerful weapons are the same Dangerous detective, I don't care about the Dark Box. It's a pleasure to work with."

The words of the lady in the door seemed to mean to see off guests.

Shade closed the ring box and took it from the hand of the maid.When the maid walked towards the door again, he didn't say goodbye and left, instead he sorted out his mood and said aloud:
"Ma'am, I don't know if I have the honor to know your identity."

"You don't have this honor for the time being."

The woman spoke very directly, and Shade seemed to hear the black-haired maid who was pushing the door and accidentally laughed.

"I know what you're worrying about, now that I know your identity and your appearance, I naturally have a way to find out your address and the identity of the Correspondence Sorcerer in the same group as you. But so what, the Correspondence Sorcerer is the most important The problem is that the church cannot be identified, so do you think I am a member of the church?"

Just as the woman thinks that Xia De is not a devout believer of the righteous gods, Xia De also does not think that the other party is a devout believer:

"You can tell the correspondence ring warlocks in the same group as you about what happened tonight. They naturally know the rules of this city. Of course, you can also tell us about our transactions. Do you have any questions?"

Probably because she got the information from Shade, even if it was a little unpleasant at first, she is in a good mood now.

"You are here tonight."

"Of course it wasn't for you, it was just an accident. I appeared in this disgraceful place tonight, just heard that the club has a very rare Rhodes card in its collection."

"I don't know which series it is?"

"It doesn't matter, it's a fake Rhodes card."

"That's really bad luck. Goodbye then, ma'am, and may you be able to touch the statue of the old god as soon as possible."

This is to remind the other party to look for it as soon as possible, not to let [Blood of Mercury] have time to transfer, so that he can't find the statue and blame Xia De.

"Goodbye then, Detective. Speaking of which, I really appreciate a young man like you. When the relic got out of control just now, your response was very good. Most of the first-ring warlocks did not behave like you.

If you need anything, you can contact me through this club.But you know, all gifts have a reward. "

"Yes ma'am, have a great night."

Shade clutched the ring box and turned to leave, but when he was at the door, he suddenly turned back to look at the hidden door:

"Ma'am, about the [Dark Box]."

"A rare relic of the third era, the relics are all accumulated from the resentment and hatred at the end of the era, so there is no need to doubt what you hear.

The fifth era is the era of witches, and the war of the last thirteen witch emperors almost attracted terrible existences outside the material world;
The fourth era is an era of darkness and chaos, darkness covers the earth, and strange things run rampant in the material world;
Tertiary alien races coexist with humans, but at the same time terrifying and bizarre humanoids occupy most of the material world, evil spirits born in whispers.Humans live in a corner with other normal life and protect each other. "

She didn't speak again, and Xia De also bowed slightly to express his gratitude for the free knowledge, and then walked out the door.

The maid outside the door was waiting for Xia De and led Xia De from the third floor to the stairs on the first floor.There, Shard met a downcast little Franklin, and the two left the club together.

Returning from the noisy interior to the streets of the summer night shrouded in mist, the depressed mood has also improved a lot.

Shade was still immersed in the series of events just now, recalling the moment when his fingers shone, and thinking about the details of this transaction.

Therefore, the two did not talk too much along the way. They walked along the street with gas lamps and walked to the apartment rented by the Franklin family in the quiet night.

Just when he was about to arrive at his destination, little Franklin stepped into the shadow of the signboard of the antique store on the street that was not illuminated by the gas street lights, and suddenly turned around and ran.Xia De, who was already prepared, immediately chased after them. The two didn't even run out half a block, and little Franklin was kicked down by the detective's boots behind him:

"Who the hell did father find this time? Have you ever practiced long-distance running? Are you going to the Tobesque Youth Games? What about the detective last time?"

He was panting and was clasped his hands behind his back by Xia De. While asking questions in a hoarse voice, he didn't want to break free. Young people are not good at running.

"You still want to run. Didn't you get caught by the detective last time? Uncle Sparrow died, and I took over his job, but I haven't practiced long-distance running."

Xia De felt the power in this body, not only the ring warlock, but the quality of this body itself was quite good.I don't know how Detective Sparrow took a few months to make the homeless become like this.

As for pretending to be someone else's nephew, it doesn't really matter, after all, Xia De really inherited all the detective's legacy.

"Dead? The guy who put a gun in my head and let me off the table is dead?"

Little Franklin was a little surprised, but his tone was full of joy:
"That kind of villain, it's not bad to die."

However, according to the commissioned records left by the detective found by Shard, he took Franklin Jr. twice from the underground casinos and clubs in the slums by the power of words. Detective Sparrow Hamilton described himself as one of those Charismatic and quite good at persuading others.

"It seems that his record can't be trusted. He really lost a gun? Or was it hidden and I didn't find it?"

"Speaking of which, what if you let me go? I'll give you more gold pounds if I win."

Little Franklin tried to break free.

"I feel so sorry for your father."

"Come on, you came to arrest me for money."

The young gambler laughed, he expected the detective's words to counterattack, but he didn't expect the detective to nod his head:

"Yes, of course, gold pounds are also important. Otherwise, in the foggy night, I am not at home with the gas light on and taking care of the cute cat. What would I do to catch you?"

Although there was an accident in the club, at least the process of submitting the commission and getting paid went smoothly.The Franklins didn't embarrass their son, and Shard just got half a pound at the door and the two pounds owed to the casino in advance, and left.

Before leaving, he saw little Franklin in the house and gestured to him with vicious gestures.Shard wasn't angry, but really felt pity for Mr. Franklin.

"Every family in every era has its own story. I'd better take care of myself first."

He walked into the long night with his hands in his pockets, saying goodbye to his first official employer.

It was late at night, and the detective with a tight wallet still did not take the carriage, but returned home on foot.He must collect 10 pounds in a month, and even if the relics at home can be pawned, he must develop a stingy habit.

Therefore, it was already late at night when I got home, and when I left the hazy foggy outdoor and climbed up the dimly lit stairs, I felt very lonely and lonely.After entering the door, I was worried that the orange cat "Miya" would be excreted everywhere, but fortunately, it was actually in the corner of the balcony, leaving "traces" on the pile of sand that Xia De prepared before going out.

As for the cat itself, when the tired detective just opened the door, he rushed over, grabbed the cuff of his trousers for him to hug, and was very excited about Shade's return.This made Xia De, who had been walking alone for several hours at night, felt particularly moved and warm in his heart.

"Even if your master doesn't come to pick you up, I'll adopt you."

"Meow~"

After he picked up the well-behaved cat, he said, the orange cat Mia rubbed her soft little head against Shade's chest to express her love for him.The detective used a blanket on the desk in his bedroom to make a temporary nest for Mia.

It was already dark, and the [Vampire Ring] did not continue to study, but even though he slept very late that night, he woke up on time at six o'clock the next day, and did not feel sleepy at all.

The goat milk ordered yesterday was delivered along with milk and newspapers. Shade had breakfast in this house for the first time with the well-behaved orange cat Mia, and planned for today's itinerary.

Today is Tuesday, and I need to see Dr. Schneider tomorrow, but for the note I left yesterday, I must go to the doctor.

Yesterday, I completed two commissions in one day, which gave Xia De a lot of confidence in taking over the business of the firm.

But today, he is not going to deal with the case left by the former detective. After returning from the doctor, he plans to carefully check the house, look for the pistol, and continue to read the doctor's notes and past commission records, and study his own spirit runes.

It was still Mia who stayed to watch the house, and Xia De carried the relic [Vampire Ring] with him and walked through the city in the thin mist.

The process of walking from downtown Tobesque to the doctor's clinic in the east side of the city took him several hours in the morning, but the unique scenery of the unfamiliar steam age and the European architectural style made Shard very novel.

Along the beautiful and wealthy Roentgen Avenue, when he saw the four-wheeled carriage parked outside the psychological clinic and the gentleman with the black top hat getting off the carriage, Shard was still worried about whether the doctor would come back.

Fortunately, the few hours of travel was not in vain. The blue-eyed doctor came back, but when he received Shade, he looked quite annoyed.

Shade remembers that Miss Luysha said that his luck is usually bad, and this time he also encountered troubles:
"So I have always hated dealing with nobles. If I can treat it, they will take psychological problems seriously; if I can't treat it, they will think that there is a problem with my level.

The bulimia this time is very problematic. The lady is probably hiding some secrets that they don't want to tell. People always don't trust doctors. Xia De, if you encounter a commission from a noble, you will definitely understand what I mean. Please hurry up Sit, I see your note, but what exactly is it? "

　PS: The editor of the new book issue recommends 2K per chapter, this one is 3K, please recommend a ticket.The current results are not very satisfactory, I don't know whether it is the poor writing or the slow popularity of the subject matter (cover your face).But don't worry, no matter how ugly the grades are, I will finish the book. The current plan is at least 200 million words.
