Whispering Poems

Chapter 1168 Holiday Life
Time passed in a hurry, and in the first half of the first month of birth, due to another punishment from the tree father, Xia De did not use any time key.He spent his time on his own life, entrusting Old John to help him acquire new relics that can temporarily increase his luck, studying "Secret of Immortality" and the demigod ice crystal of the witch Chloe, and even used "Secret of Agelessness" The secrets of skin care and youthfulness are shared with the girls around me.

Of course, during this period, he received a letter from Mia's real owner, Ms. Mia Sangold.The lady in the letter was very grateful to Xia De for the photo of Mia sent by Xia De before the end of the year, and this time, Xia De finally jokingly mentioned in his reply that if Miss Gao De is inconvenient, she can send this The cat will stay forever in the Saint Teresa Square and let myself take care of it.

He tried to sound joking in his letter, and even had Dorothy help polish it up a bit.After sending that letter, I was anxiously thinking about Miss Gothe's possible reaction, but the reply letter would not be sent until next month.

Throughout the first half of January, in addition to two commissions to find the lost pet cat, Shade also handled three slightly complicated but very interesting detective commissions, "The Murder of the Heirs" and "Tobesk Country House". The Haunting" and "The Stolen Pendulum".

The first incident was a fraternal fratricide caused by a boring noble family because of inheritance rights. Although Xia De was threatened with a gun pointed at his head not to investigate further, Xia De also successfully killed the bad guys who wanted to threaten himself and Mia;

The second incident was that someone was deliberately pretending to be a ghost, and wanted to use Xia De's reputation to create rumors of a haunted house.As a result, Xia De's investigation was too thorough, uncovering a major case that lasted for two centuries, involved three noble families, and involved dozens of victims and emotional disputes between three generations.

With the help of innocent souls, he finally found the cellar where five victims and dozens of unformed fetuses were buried, and finally sent more than ten people, including the client and the entire family of the client, to prison together. However, at least Xia De used reasonable means to obtain his commission fee, and because of this, he became famous in the city.

The entire incident took only three days from the beginning of the investigation to the end of the investigation.

In the third incident, the original task was to help a local earl find the whereabouts of the gem-encrusted pendulum on the antique wall clock.But when Xia De followed the servant who confessed to the crime and found a group of local gem dealers, he accidentally involved another group of thieves who tried to enter the yordle palace to steal, and even dug a hole.

In the end, the news headlined "The Thief of the Century" spread across the entire Old Continent in a short time. Even Miss Galina in Saladir County and Margaret in a foreign country wrote to inquire. The cause and course of the event.Unfortunately, due to the royal secrets involved, Xia De was unable to elaborate in the letter, but at least he got another chance to be summoned by the king and queen, and Rezia was quite satisfied with it.

Also within these two weeks, the 1853 honor list of the Kingdom of De La Rion was finally officially released.

At that time, the "missing pendulum" case had not yet been solved by Shad, so he did not change from a knight to a baron because of his achievements, but he received the "Kingdom Special Contribution Award" medal and a generous bonus, and his military rank also The promotion from major to lieutenant colonel meant an increase in the basic allowance.

And Captain Lades, who was also looking forward to the list of honors, failed to be promoted from a lieutenant to a school officer.But he also received a "Royal Army Gold Star Service Medal" and was transferred to the newly formed "Third Division of the Frontier Army in the Pantanal Region" as the battalion commander.

Captain Ladds was originally in the West Cal Mountain defense area, and was only in charge of specific affairs in the Red Water Camp. Although he failed to stay in Tobesk this time, being the battalion commander was a real promotion.

Shad was very happy for the captain and saw him off before he left Tobesk.However, the formation of the border army in the Pantanal area also shows that De La Rion and Carson Rico have once again set their sights on the great swamp area.

Outsiders very much hope that this will not turn into a flashpoint of conflict.

As for the "Kingdom De La Rion Literary Award" that Dorothy was thinking about, the list of winners was officially announced in the first half of the first month of birth.

It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom Literature Award does not refer to one kind of award, but a series of awards, the most important of which is the "Kingdom Achievement Literature Award".

It is a pity that no matter how good the sales of "Hamilton's Detective Stories" are, in this conservative and open era, popular literature cannot win such supreme awards.

But Dorothy's father, the highly respected Professor Louisa, is still quite effective. As an unknown female writer, Dorothy actually won the "Best Popular Literature Award".

This award is not particularly important in the entire "Kingdom Literature Award", but it is quite commemorative and representative for Miss Writer.

On the night of the awards ceremony, she wore a pale gold dress and invited Xia De to attend the banquet as her male companion. After the banquet, she and Xia De spent a very memorable night.

Xia De, who never liked taking pictures, also took a group photo with Dorothy, who was wearing a ball gown and holding a trophy at the banquet.And that black-and-white photo was placed on the desk in the study by Xia De, and Dorothy was smiling brightly in the photo.

Of course, since he planned to take a good rest for a while, Xia De did not forget to fulfill his promise and invite Helen and Grace to play in Tobesk together.

It was the second Sunday after the exam week, which was the No. 12 day of the first month of birth.Girls in black long skirts and white long skirts, and red scarves, together with Xia De in the foggy winter city, shuttled through the streets and alleys, lingering between the crooked streets and the bustling market.

Xia De made a very detailed plan for this day's activities. Rezia, who was very grateful to Helen and Grace, paid for the entire day's activities, and insisted on paying for it herself.

The three of them went to the City Museum together, boarded the bell tower which was especially open, went to the Three Cats Hotel to see the "three cats" there, and visited the Regent's Park in winter.They even insisted on taking risks, and went around the Dawn Square with Shad, and bought tourist souvenirs from the small vendors on the square, that is, bookmarks made of Tobesk native plants.

Although the Red Butterfly Twins were older than any girl Xia De knew, but walking with them on the streets of Tobesk, Xia De felt inexplicably that they were really girls who were only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The years have not left traces on them, and the repeated painful reincarnation has also brought a mind that will never age.Compared with other immortals, the painful cycle of reincarnation at least ensures that their hearts are still young.

And that night, after the three of them had dinner together and returned to Saint-Andrés Square, they met Luvia who happened to come to Xia De's house to watch the stars.

At this time, Grace and Helen did not appear in a separate way, but the combination of the two became a girl who appeared to be in her 20s, which also made it easier for Xia De to appear in public with them.

"Xia De, are you back? The association informed me that my language of sublimation needs special preparation, so I'm going on a business trip"

Luvia, who was holding a pile of books on the stairs, saw Xia De and the girl behind him, and blinked in surprise, while Grace Helen looked at her even more surprised:
"you"

Luvia's figure was reflected into Hongdie's eyes, and the interlaced shadows showed another figure that normal people would never see.The special characteristics of the relic allow Hongdie to see the special other me of the mortal in front of him.They couldn't know why the shadow was so special, but before they spoke, Xia De said:
"Luvia, let me introduce you. This is what I have mentioned to you many times, Miss Grace White and Miss Helen Black. This is Miss Luvia Anante, my future"

"lover."

Luvia took the initiative to speak, while Xia De patted the shoulder of the girl in a long black and white dress. The latter smiled knowingly and didn't mention her discovery again.Then, among the flying red butterflies, they turned into Grace and Helen who were slightly shorter:

"Sister Luvia."

The two girls looked very cute.

Luvia looked at the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and then at Xia De:

"I heard Xia De mention you guys a long time ago. I am very glad to meet you. Although Xia De introduced you, you still look young."

Xia De felt that he had read a serious misunderstanding of himself from her eyes.

In short, even though he has not been able to get a way to Randall Valley City for the time being, nor has he opened a new time key, Shade's life is still a bit busy, but it is also very fulfilling.

Tobesk, the capital of steam, is so charming to outsiders.He lingers in this metropolis, enjoying his peaceful life.

1854 Nativity Month No. 15, Wednesday, [-]:[-] p.m., Queen Mary Opera House.

As the high-spirited singing reached its climax, the applause of the gentlemen and ladies sitting in the rows of seats in the brightly lit opera house almost sounded like an exploding steam bomb.

This is a famous opera called "Cedrian's Revenge", and the libretto was written in the early days of the Sixth Age, when there were no de la Rion and Carsenric.And now in 1854, this is already one of the most famous operas in the entire human world.

The busy beginning of 1854 has reached the middle of the month, and people who have dealt with many chores since the beginning of the year can take a break, so Her Royal Highness Leizia Cavendish invited her sister and Knight Hamilton of Reggie , on this noisy night, appeared together in the box of the Opera House.
