Whispering Verse

"civilization?"

Shade thought about the meaning of this word, and Old John said with a smile:

"Yes, it is very close to your answer. Every object here has the imprint of society and civilization, and there are traces of people from different classes. Every old object has experienced different experiences around different people. stories, which, to me, are the best commodity."

"So, you are proficient in the brass-colored [Enlightenment] element?"

Xia De asked slightly surprised.

According to the common sense of ring warlocks he learned, although the [enlightenment] element comes from civilization, people are more inclined to obtain [enlightenment] through books. For example, Miss Louisa's ring warlock system is biased towards fairy tales, connecting the first four rings with a certain classic ancient fairy tale to build a sublimated language, with a clear and simple context.

However, from the perspective of civilization itself, ring warlocks who come into contact with the elements of [enlightenment] are very rare.

Because this requires strong talent, wisdom and perseverance, as well as a little unpredictable luck, which is not something ordinary people can do. But generally speaking, ring warlocks who enlighten themselves with civilization itself are also quite powerful, possessing many unimaginable unique thaumaturgy.

"Yes, detective. For an old man like me, this kind of life is the best. I can satisfy my hobbies and continue to improve on the path of a ring warlock. What could be better than this of?"

The old man said contentedly, and then sized him up before Xia De wanted to ask more:

"Speaking of it, detective, have you heard about Lakeview Manor?"

It seems that the ring magicians in town like to talk about it.

"Of course I heard. I was even playing Rhodes cards with others in Lakeview Manor that day."

There is no need to hide this matter.

"Are you there?"

Old John said suspiciously, probably thinking of the [Silver Moon Orb], but Xia De is too weak, so he didn't think of it:

"What a coincidence, the thirteen-ring magician who appeared in the rumors is also proficient in [Silver Moon] like you. I heard that the other party showed the posture of the Hanged Man under the moon, and then he was seriously injured with a casual kick. The one with the silver pupils. I bet that the posture of the Hanged Man is a specific posture required for casting the spell."

"Um......"

It seems that the people in Tobesk have misunderstood Shade's performance that day.

"Probably, but the opponent is really too strong."

He praised himself.

"Yes, the thirteenth ring, the complete three sentences of sublimation, this is a height that many people will never reach."

Old John sighed, put the reading glasses into the glasses case, and did not forget to tell Xia De:

"Detective, since the other party has made such a high-profile attack, maybe he is still in Tobesk. Maybe, we will have a chance to see him again in the future. This kind of high-level magician must be very rich. If you know him, remember to introduce him to me. If you buy things here, I can give you a commission. Old John’s **** shop has everything.”

After talking about these things, we talked about the reason why Xia De came here. Of course he came to buy something:

"I want to find a relic that has the function of extracting energy from the living body itself or similar entities or non-entities, and then injecting it into the user's body. As long as it has this function, whether it is the main function or whether there is Serious consequences of use, these are not considered for the time being."

He described his request in as much detail as possible.

Although this request sounds a little weird, Old John didn't ask too much:

"Harvest others to benefit yourself... Well, what's the price this time?"

After touching his pocket and confirming that "no money in his pocket" was not his illusion, Xia De said:

"You quote first, give me some time to raise money."

The price of the relic would not be cheap, even if there was the wallet of the former detective, it would definitely not be enough, besides, he had already spent a lot of money just now.

"Your new bargaining strategy? That's pretty cool, but wait, I'm going to look it up."

He turned and left the counter, and entered the backyard of the pawnshop through the back door. This time I didn't leave for too long, but I came back empty-handed in ten minutes:

"It does exist, but it's not mine. It's sold by an acquaintance. The price is 300 pounds. If you accept it, I can arrange for you to meet and negotiate the price."

"300 pounds?"

Xia De calculated that this was equivalent to a few Mia, but if the Founder Silver Moon was sold, it should be enough. However, after the incident at Lakeview Manor, he wanted to keep that card, so he hadn't made a decision yet.

"Looking at your expression, I know you can't afford it."

Old John shook his head, and said:

"In this case, I will help you keep an eye out for similar relics during this time. If there is any news, please write to your address. Remember to raise money early, otherwise I will sell it to others."

"Of course... In fact, I can accept it before fifty pounds."

This is because the furniture in Saint Teresa Square and the detective's relics can be sold without affecting the limit of life, which is about fifty pounds.

"It's much easier this way~www.readwn.com~ Then wait for my news. This time it's not because I don't have what you want here, but because you can't afford it, so don't say that my store is not complete."

These words made Xia De doubt whether the "relic of 300 pounds" really existed.

Because the time calculation was just right, it was only six o'clock when we returned to Saint Teresa Square. Although he was in a good mood today, Xia De did not go to the restaurant to eat out of consideration of saving money. I'm already full at noon, so it doesn't matter if I don't eat at night.

But Mia's dinner can't be spared. Not long ago, after Miss Gao De remitted the money, Xia De had already prepared cat food for the cat. The high-end cat food in this era has exceeded the price of ordinary people's meals.

But Xia De wanted to be more honest, so the cat food he chose for Minia was not bad, at least the young orange cat liked it very much.

He was not at home all day, and of course the guests who came to visit couldn't find him, so they could only leave a message. There are two letters that Xia De saw pushed in from the door, one is Sir Lavender, he wants to discuss with Xia De about the [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl]; Captain Ladds, who regrets his behavior at the banquet, wants to apologize to the detective, but makes no mention of the antique revolver.

"How did the captain know I lived here?"

Suspicious Xia De thought, and then realized that the business cards he handed out in Lakeview Manor had played a role.

That night, I didn't make any travel plans for myself, but learned the thaumaturgy [Satiating Food]. This thaumaturgy is very simple to learn, but the material is complex. Among them, "the stomachs of three kinds of female viviparous animals that were strangled to death" and "the lanugo hair of a baby boy born under the last quarter of the red moon" were the most difficult to find, and this was also the main destination of Xia De's money for materials.
