Whispering Verse

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Xia De brought Miya back to No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa. He changed his shoes in the lobby on the first floor, and when he walked up the stairs, he felt as if a century had passed since the last time he went down the stairs.

Priest Augustus put all Shade's items in his study, [Silver Moon's Orb] was damaged due to yesterday's dream, and the clerical relic [Vampire Ring] also turned into dust.

The only relics Xia De holds now are the pages of the poem manuscript, the [Gun of Kindness] and the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny]. Even [Happy the Puppeteer's Script] has completely lost its extraordinary properties, because the pages have all been used up.

Looking at the calendar on the wall, June, known as the "Sunshine Moon", has passed. It is now July, and people call this month the "Thunder Moon".

He sat on the chair behind the desk, looked at the items on the magnificent desk, and summed up the gains and losses of his own lake view manor. Because of the invitation of Baron Lavender, I went to the open-air banquet in Lakeview Manor, and got a special Rhodes card [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl], got the gun, and got divinity...

Hot steam gushed out from behind him, and he turned around to see that on the rotating brass roulette, the silver blasphemy rune [Gluttony] was circulating around the body. This was Shade's first spirit rune.

"I got the afterglow state of divinity, and I got [Gluttony]. The ring warlock needs one of each of the four runes to upgrade, and now easily satisfies a quarter. Thinking about it this way, the gains last night far outweighed the sacrifices."

he muttered to himself.

Not only that, "Crazy Light Chaser" has a high probability of bringing him an enlightenment element spirit rune related to the concept of "light" within three months; and the task of the ancient **** [Father of the Infinite Tree], also There is a miracle [Echo] waiting to be harvested. From this point of view, if he doesn't consider the combination of the language of sublimation, then he doesn't seem to be far away from the second ring, and he may even be promoted within a few months.

It's a pity that although the afterglow of divinity has appeared on Xia De, it will take a week to open the key. It's only Monday now, and he has to wait until the early morning of Thursday.

It's just that no matter how much he harvested in Lake View Manor, it was something that happened under extremely special luck, and he didn't think that kind of good luck would visit him again.

Besides the silver blasphemous rune [Gluttony], the biggest gain last night should be the understanding of Silver Moon. Although it is impossible for him to reproduce the foot hanging upside down in front of the silver moon, Xia De did not forget the picture of standing on the ridge of the field and looking up at the huge silver moon in his dream.

"From this point of view, [Silver Moon's Orb] is worth the money."

He was thinking about the [relic] he had destroyed, and flicked his finger in the air to try [Silver Moon Slash] again, but he stopped suddenly. Now he is in the study room. If any item here is destroyed, Xia De will very sad.

He got up from the chair in the study, walked into the living room and opened the door to the corridor, followed the stairs to the hall on the first floor. Standing in the foyer, facing the layers of wooden boards that seal the first floor.

With the sound of bells and sirens, a huge brass ring of life behind him appeared in the steam.

An ancient mantra was chanted in his mouth, and his fingers flicked lightly in the air.

With the dazzling silver light blooming, an arc-shaped light trace appeared in the air. Then there was the sound of planks being smashed, which startled Miya, who was poking her head around the corner of the stairs on the first floor, wanting to see what Shade was doing. But this time the orange cat wasn't scared away, instead, it twitched its tail and didn't know whether to "rescue" Xia De.

The hall itself was not that big, and Shad was also hit by the sputtered wooden fragments. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but there was a wound on the back of his hand.

"Um?"

As the plank shattered, a brown object fell out of the gap behind the plank with a snap. Xia De looked in surprise under the gas light in the hall, looking at the heavy wallet.

"this......"

This is indeed a wallet, and it looks bulging, and it can be seen that it contains a lot of banknotes. Xia De tensed his face, thinking about his initial "big search":

"Speaking of which, I only thought that Room 1 on the second floor was the inheritance of the detective, and I didn't check the first floor at all... um..."

In fact, even if the first floor was searched at the beginning, there was a high probability that they would not find it. This wallet is really well hidden.

Looking up at the solid brick wall behind the three-layer plank, he picked up the wallet with **** hands:

"That piece of wood should be detachable, so no one would think of hiding the wallet here, and it's very convenient to get money every time you go out. Detective Sparrow and the original owner should know this location, but I don't inherit the memory .”

Xia De didn't know what kind of mood he should be in for a while, he was happy to finally find the wallet, but he was surprised that the answer was so simple.

So he opened the wallet to check, and it was indeed full of banknotes. After counting, the total was 28 pounds and 12 shillings, which was enough to maintain the operation of the office for three months, and let the single man with small expenses live a good life.

"But the cane must be worth more than 15 pounds, and the price of high-end black tea will not be lower. Detective Sparrow's legacy is only these. He didn't calculate it deliberately, did he? Calculated the money Just enough for three months of normal expenses."

Holding the wallet and going up the stairs, wanting to clean up the hallway, he summed up his impression of Detective Sparrow in his mind:

"Extremely rigorous in work, writes a diary every day, and has clear accounts. He has strong detective skills, but some detective records are not true, and some clients have a bad impression of him. The taste of black tea is very high, the walking stick is expensive, and he likes to watch knights, wars, etc. And palace-type novels... Although this image is much more three-dimensional, it is still impossible to see what secrets he has."

His footsteps stopped suddenly, making the cat climbing the stairs in front of him look back curiously. Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly, but actually didn't see anything:

"Wait, if everything I experienced that night at Lakeview Manor was the result of luck, then do the things I don't understand correspond to the things I don't know?"

Among the many things about Lakeview Manor, the most incomprehensible is the information about the "Witch Council" heard by the stables~www.readwn.com~ and the information about the Carson Rik United Kingdom spies heard after breaking into the garden maze.

The "Witch Council" definitely has nothing to do with Detective Sparrow. After all, the detectives are all men, and many parties have confirmed that he is indeed an ordinary person. On the contrary, Xia De had some suspicions that the information from the "Witch Council" pointed to "that lady" who was there at the time.

As for spies—

"If you think about it this way, the identity of a foreign spy does fit the setting of 'he is just an ordinary person with a huge secret'."

He continued to climb the stairs while thinking, the cat couldn't wait to scratch the door on the second floor:

"Extremely rigorous in doing things is the cautiousness of spies;

Writing a diary every day is to pretend to be an ordinary citizen and whereabouts;

The accounting is clear, so that no clues are left for others, so that it is convenient to forge the source of funds;

The detective ability is very strong, in line with the characteristics of a spy;

Detective records are inauthentic, clearly obscuring information while enhancing the persona of the average detective;

Some clients have a bad impression. He must have done extra work or used a gun while commissioning;

The taste of black tea is high, which is his true hobby;

The expensive cane, which may be the only personal item he brought from his hometown, has commemorative value;

I like novels, maybe those novels are code books, but I can't read them..."

Shade opened the door for Mia, and the nocturnal cat rushed into the living room immediately. He stood at the door and looked at the place where Mr. Sparrow lived. The moonlight passed through Saint Teresa Square and shone into the living room from the window, but the light stopped right under his feet, leaving half of Shad's face at the door hidden in the shadows:

"So, Sparrow Hamilton, he can't really be a spy for Carsonrick?"
