Whispering Poems

Chapter 178 With Beas

Now that he had the opportunity to chat, Xia De described what happened last night, that is, the rainy night.Xia De kept his promise not to take any irrelevant relics, and Miss Bayas also reported the names of those two people to the church this morning.

Miss Bayas's ring warlock team was not assigned to deal with this matter, but she also heard from her captain that the correspondence ring warlock broke into Mr. Ponton's house last night and killed the [Blood of Mercury] The thing about the killer walking away.

"Detective, I guessed it must be you. Your friends are really powerful. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, the other party has almost no chance to fight back."

She sighed and looked out the window.

"Three against one, isn't it normal to win easily?"

Xia De asked while flipping through the book, and then gave a vivid example:

"The opponent is only a four-ring warlock, and his strength gap is not as big as that of the mouse and Mia. So when we found out that he didn't leave, he had already lost."

Miss Bayas turned her head and glanced at the cat who was sleeping on Shade's lap in the afternoon:

"Actually, the strength gap between your cat and mice should not be too big. It doesn't look like the kind of cat that can catch mice."

said Miss Bayarth, with a teacup in her hand:

"Now that we've touched on this topic, did you get any additional information from that killer? For example, the location of the silver-eyed man."

"Just now I wanted to tell you that there is a ring warlock in our team who is very good at interrogating information. Unfortunately, that killer doesn't know where the silver-eyed man is hiding. But I can confirm that he was injured by the masked man under the silver moon. The silver-eyed people are hard to heal from their injuries, so they don't even trust the people in their own organization."

He almost said himself, but Miss Bayarth did not catch it.

"Good news, it's more likely that I will take revenge with my own hands."

The sorceress commented.

"Oh, we also discovered the location of [God's Gift Box]."

Xia De said again, waving at the fluttering snowflakes, and more dense snow fell.Snowfall hardly consumes him. This is not thaumaturgy, but a slight function attached to the mysia. It is a natural phenomenon caused by Shade's elements interfering with reality, and it is more mysterious than thaumaturgy.

Miss Bayas waved her hand with her back to Shad:
"You don't need to tell me the exact location. Once the church knows the location of the relic, it will definitely look for it, and then it will be successful. But in this way, the silver pupil may leave Tobesk, and I don't know where to go I found him."

She has full confidence in the Orthodox Church, and this confidence is justified.Even if the silver-eyed man wasn't seriously injured, a person like him wouldn't be considered a big threat in the archdiocese where several warlocks with ten rings or above were in charge.

Xia De nodded and suggested:

"But after the matter is over, we can make an appointment to tell the church and the academy about this sage-level relic at almost the same time. In this way, everyone can get the reward."

Miss Bayas looked back at him unexpectedly, and looked at Shad with her beautiful eyes:

"Detective, you really have an idea."

In addition to Shad's recounting of what happened last night, Miss Bayas also shared with Shad the big and small things in Tobesk Parish.The ring warlocks of the church must know more information than the ring magicians of the academic school, and Miss Bayas focused on the Lakeview Manor incident and what happened last Saturday night.

With the advancement of the church, more investigations have been carried out on the above incidents, including the loss of control of the relics and the origin of the evil gods, and they have basically been clarified.It's a pity that the church is currently chasing down the fish scale within the diocese, hoping to find clues about the "high ring warlock" who cast the magic lock.

And in this way, the fish scales in Miss Louisa's hands will be more difficult to sell.

"Detective, what did you do just now? A commission?"

Miss Bayas was also curious about the encounter with Shad.

"No, I just came out of the Prophet Association, and I met Mr. Stein, the president of the Tobesk branch."

Shade held the book and said, Mia was lying on his lap in a long strip, and the cat's chin was against Shade's leg. For some reason, it liked this position very much.

"Mr. Stein? Oh? He's back?"

Miss Bayas was quite surprised by this incident, and even temporarily relaxed to observe the movements outside, and turned around to chat with Shad:
"Mr. Addis Stan, can be regarded as the most powerful fortune teller resident in Tobeske Diocese. Although he has only ten rings, his divination level is quite high. I heard that he was entrusted by the Church of Creation not long ago to go to Tobes In the countryside of Ke, assist that 'steel right hand' Sarri Pirot to deal with the out-of-control incident of the angel-level relic. When the three-ring warlock arrives in Tobesk, there will be two thirteen-ring warlocks in the diocese."

It was the first time Xia De heard of the cooperation between the Prophet Association and the Orthodox Church, but he was concerned about another point:
"Is that Mr. Stan's divination level very high? Actually, I also asked him to help with divination today, but he doesn't seem to use any ring magician methods."

He put down the book and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Stein's level of divination is of course very high, if you give me an example."

Miss Bayas thought for a while:

"If there is only one person in Tobesk City who can divination the location of the silver-eyed person, then it must be him. But a detective, a brilliant fortune-teller, can divination even without the ability of a ring warlock. This is a talent, of course, it is also possible It is the unique ability of his 'other me'. But Mr. Stein has always been cautious, as long as he makes a divination, there is a high probability that it will come true. What did he divination for you?"

The young girl with long brown hair asked curiously:
"Good news or bad news?"

"He said he saw a knight."

Shad was still puzzled by this.

"Knight? Is this some kind of metaphor?"

Miss Bayas asked puzzledly. Seeing that Xia De couldn't give an answer, she looked at Xia De's face again and changed the subject:

"There's something I've always wanted to ask you. I just remembered it not long ago. The first time we met, it should be the pet store, right?"

"Yes, why bring this up?"

Shade asked in confusion.

"I didn't remember the first time we met, not because I forgot, but because your face is a little different from when we first met."

The brown-haired girl frowned slightly.

"I look different?"

He touched his face suspiciously, and then remembered that Old John had said something similar last night.

"No, it's not a big change, just slightly different."

Miss Bayarth squinted her eyes and thought for a moment:
"People who often meet with you, or you observe every day, probably don't feel it at all. But we met again after a week. In Lakeview Manor, didn't you pretend to be hypnotized by the captain? I didn't realize it at the time. I missed you because the first time we met, I passed by, but the second time your face was different."

"Is there such a thing?"

He put the lazy cat on the sofa, ignored its dissatisfaction, and walked quickly to the bathroom.He could see his own face in the mirror every day after washing his face, and he didn't notice any difference.

"In short, he's probably a little more handsome than before. I don't mean anything else, it's the truth."

Miss Bayarth's voice continued from the kitchen.

"hansome?"

Xia De stretched his head in front of the sink to look at his face in the mirror.The original face of the former homeless man can only be regarded as barely conforming to Xia De's aesthetics.But handsome or something, he didn't see much.

But this time, the shape of the face is still the same as before, and the appearance is indeed much more handsome than before.And more importantly, from a certain angle, he could vaguely see traces of his original face on this typical Caucasian face.

It's not very obvious, just like what Miss Bayas said, it's just that there are some slight changes in the face that was not bad before.These subtle changes made the face of the outsider a bit more handsome.

Since Miss Bayas said that Shade's face was a little different when she saw Shade in the garden maze of the Lakeview Manor, then it must not be because of that drop of divinity, which is in contact with Bea. It appeared after Miss Si's second encounter.

"Is it because the soul affects the body?"

He thought suspiciously in his heart, and then asked the voice in his heart.

[Maybe so. 】

She whispered in her ear.

"Shouldn't that be a bad thing?"

He looked at the face in the mirror. After half a month in this strange world, he has basically accepted this appearance:
"As long as the change is not too obvious, it is not a bad thing."

Finally come to this conclusion.

The two of them got along quite happily all afternoon, and Xia De vaguely felt that on the road of becoming a friend, ally, and even a close collaborator with Miss Bayas, for some reason, he was probably better than the purple-eyed fortune-teller. Be quicker.

Even, Miss Bayas actually took the initiative to mention Miss Anat in front of Shade:

"Detective, if you still want to do divination, I recently met a very good fortune teller. Although I am not sure if she is a ring magician, she may be able to help you, and I have the opportunity to introduce you to each other, but"

Miss Bayas hesitated.

"what happened?"

Xia De picked up the water glass to drink water.

"However, I always feel that the beautiful female fortune teller has other purposes for approaching me. It's not malicious, but it's strange. I just feel that she has other purposes. Does she like me?"

Xia De, who was drinking water, almost spit out the water from his mouth.But even so, he was still coughing from choking, and while his body was shaking, he woke up the cat from its afternoon nap.It stood up from Shad's lap neatly, and "meowed ~" to Miss Bayas, but it didn't lose its temper, because it was almost the time for the cat's usual home walk.

"So, do you think I have other purposes for approaching you?"

After coughing a few times, in order not to spoil the good impression that Miss Anat worked so hard to build in front of Miss Bayas, Shad could only change the subject.

"You approach me? Isn't it always me approaching you?"

Miss Bayas said strangely, and then counted again and again:

"The encounter at the pet store was considered a chance encounter. You wished to stay away from us in Lakeview Manor. I was the one who came to you on the lucky day at the Lucky Southern Cross Club. I also took the initiative to ask you for help the night you played Rhodes. Today is a real coincidence. Detective, when did you approach me?"

She turned her back to Xia De and chuckled:
"Speaking of which, sometimes I even feel that every time you talk to me, you are hiding from me."

　PS: Subtly adjusted part of the content of chapters 33 and 34 (the part of the conversation after Shade let the box of darkness go out of control), there is no adjustment in the plot, but the dialogue between the two parties has been changed to become more natural.Those who are interested can go and have a look, and it will not affect the follow-up plot if you don't watch it.
