Whispering Poems

Shad ignored the accusations of these Delarion people, and looked at the thirteen Carson Rikers again:

"What about you? They actually have a point. This is the city of Delarion."

The leading burly man among the southerners did not raise his gun. He sat on a long bench facing out of the table, holding his legs with both hands, and covered his head with a towel.Although he is a southerner, he is also fluent in Delarion:

"No one has said that the treasure is the treasure of the people of Delarion. Green Lake City has belonged to many countries in history. Who does this treasure that is said to have flowed from the ancient tomb belong to? things that we can investigate."

He spoke in a very orderly manner, and it really made sense for these Carson Riks to be led by him.

Xia De nodded again. He was right. The treasure that appeared in the Duyin River, the wealth that entered the river from an unknown source, is really hard to say who should belong to it.Therefore, we can only use the simplest values ​​to infer that whoever picks it up belongs to him.

Here's why these guys clash:

He asked his second question:

"I'm looking for a boy, you definitely saw him just now."

Both sides with guns looked at Shad, so the Carson Riker said:
"The Delarion knocked him unconscious, and threw him into the river with the other corpses."

He looked at Shad, beside him was the huge knitted map of the Old World:

"This matter has nothing to do with us. You northerners are really interesting, and you are not merciless when dealing with your own people."

"Got it, thank you for your answers."

Xia De said, put away his pistol neatly, then turned around and opened the door to leave.Those who aimed at him did not shoot, but immediately pointed their guns at another group of people after the door closed:

"You northerners are really hypocritical."

"Southern people, get out of our country!"

As for Shade, he and the puppy came outside the house together, standing under the eaves of the tavern and looking at the cracked rainy sky:

"Delarion and Carsonrick."

Reaching out to touch the rain, although he is calm at the moment, his heart is definitely not indifferent.The burning anger and worry about the boy were enough to support the thaumaturgy——

"Enthusiasm is cold."

The water condensed into ice, and soon there was an irregular ice crystal half the size of a palm in Xia De's hand.

"Let's go and find your master."

He bowed his head and said to the puppy, and opened the umbrella bang~, Xia De held the umbrella with one hand, threw the ice crystal with the other hand and entered the rain again, and the puppy followed at his feet.When Xia De left the tavern for more than ten steps, he threw the ice crystal that fell into his hand again, and threw it back casually.

He obviously didn't turn around, but the ice crystal accurately broke the glass of the tavern, and then, together with the broken glass, entered the room amidst the clamor in the tavern.

"Three, two, one."

Boom!

The sound of explosions in the rain could not be heard very far. The puppy was frightened and turned around to look with its tail between its legs. It only saw shattered glass, half-collapsed buildings and black smoke from the ruins, which constituted the same A completely different scene just a few seconds ago.

"Oh, it scares the hell out of me,"

It said nervously, and immediately followed Xia De closely.As for the foreigner holding the umbrella, he didn't turn his head to look behind him. There has always been a gap between people, and he doesn't need to understand everyone.

Searching down the river, half an hour had passed since the puppy set off to find Xia De, but Xia De still did not give up hope.

Fortunately, it seems that fate is not willing to embarrass the child who was born unlucky.Shade and his puppy walked less than half a mile (about 0.8km) downstream along the river, when they saw three or four people holding umbrellas on the grass by the river.Judging from the way he stood, one of them was obviously a soldier in the army, and another was kneeling on the ground holding a boy.

Xia De took off the ring on the puppy's paw, and it rushed over first.Professor Boulanger, who was holding the boy, heard the barking of the dog, and when he turned around, he saw Shade walking towards this side.

This professor of folklore/mineralology in Willendale, Carson Rico, saw that he was a familiar person, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and shouted loudly in Carson Rico:
"Oh, it's Mr. Watson. Look at this boy. We found him in the river. Do you know first aid? He is still unconscious."

Hearing that Little John was still alive, Xia De also breathed a sigh of relief.He walked quickly, knelt down and put his hands on the boy's neck.

[Choking water and coma. 】

Then he put his hands on his chest and lungs, and used the spell to control the water flow to sense the stagnant water that did not belong to the human body. Finally, he controlled the stagnant water to slowly rise, and then slapped the boy on the chest pretendingly.

The stagnant water continuously overflowed from the boy's mouth, along with bloodshot and white foam.The boy coughed a few times and finally opened his eyes.The puppy immediately rushed up to lick his face, and the boy also hugged his own puppy, trembling a few times, and then looked up to see Shad and Professor Boulanger.

"Sir, I."

It was timid and ashamed.

"Don't talk, I will send you back to that maid's house now. Don't run out again, I know you want to repay me, but I help you, not for you to repay. If you really want If you want to repay, then grow up peacefully, and then do more things in this damn world."

Professor Boulanger didn't know about Shade's relationship with the boy, but after hearing what he said, he almost understood it.

It's just that the boy still needs a rest before he can move, so the professor asked his students to take care of him.After confirming that the boy was out of danger, he and Shad came to the river and looked at the Duin River with an umbrella. Shad told the Mr. Carsonrick what he had just encountered.

The professor listened silently, and after Xia De finished speaking, the word was still repeated in his mouth:

"Treasure."

He shook his head:
"Isn't this treasure the Pantanal region? Everyone thinks it's theirs, and they all think it should belong to them. They fought and fought for it, and in the end, I don't know how many innocent people like this child were killed. thrown into the river."

He took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and looked at the ripples on the river again:

"It's messed up, it's really messed up."

Xia De didn't expect the professor to think of this all at once, but after thinking about it carefully, the farce in the tavern seems to be no different from the reality.

"Professor, thank you for saving him. Is your investigation over? Will you continue to stay in Green Lake City in the near future?"

He asked again, and Professor Boulanger shook his head:
"You don't need to thank you. No matter if you are a southerner or a northerner, if you see a child who is about to drown, you can't do nothing. As for my itinerary, although I have a bodyguard lent to me by your friend."

They were the soldiers that Captain Ladds found from the barracks, and the professor and his team hired them with money. The person who looked like a soldier that Shad noticed just now should be.

"But looking at the current situation, Green Lake City no longer welcomes people with Kasenrick's appearance like us. The inspection is not over yet, but I can't stay any longer. I plan to take my students to leave today, the border The area is gathering troops, it is too dangerous now, we plan to take the train to the northeast, leave the Green Lake area, and then return south to Carson Rik."

He looked at Xia De:

"Mr. Watson, I happened to meet you today, so it's a formal farewell to you. Thank you for your help in our investigation. If you have the opportunity to go to Willendale City in the future, remember to find me."

Xia De nodded:
"Your decision is right. Although it is a pity that you failed to complete the investigation, it is indeed no longer suitable to stay here. Go back to Willendale. I think the border area will not be peaceful for a long time to come."

The professor nodded silently, then extended his hand to Xia De.Xia De was a little surprised, but he also reached out and held him together:
"Good-bye, Mr. Watson."

said Delarion.

"Good-bye, Professor Boulanger."

Carson Rico said.

Although Xia De did not have much contact with Professor Boulanger, this Professor Boulanger really fit Shade's temper.The two said goodbye solemnly by the river, and agreed to meet again in the future.After seeing off the professor, Xia De personally sent the boy John to the apartment of the kind fat maid who lived temporarily.

The Fat Maid has worked for the Green Lake Inn for many years and loves children.When Shade heard that the boy drowned while swimming in the rain, he was worried and angry and asked the boy to quickly come into the house. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he scolded him.

John then hugged his puppy to say goodbye to Xia De, but before Xia De left, he asked worriedly:
"Sir, are you going to do something dangerous tonight?"

He had been in the hotel, of course he could guess.However, after the Battle of Green Lake, the witches will deal with the memories of the insiders in the hotel.

"Yes. Don't worry, you can go back tomorrow."

Xia De, who was standing at the door, said.

"Good luck to you, sir."

The boy pursed his lips and waved, and Xia De waved goodbye to him with his blessing.

However, he did not return to the Green Lake Hotel immediately, but came to the Duin River again, put away his umbrella, jumped into the river, dived to the bottom, and swam all the way to the upper reaches of the river.

[The power of space. 】

The "she" next to her ear suddenly reminded her, and Xia De, who had been swimming in the river for 10 minutes, surfaced.Raindrops fell overhead, then hit the face.Xia De just showed his eyes from under the water, looked left and right, touched the jewels and gold and silver jewelry he picked up from the bottom just now, and then swam to the side.

This is already close to the northern boundary of the city, and the west side of the river is no longer a city street along the river, but a towering embankment.On the periphery of the bottom of the dam, there are three outlets that continuously deliver water to the Duin River.The underground pipes of the city are connected here, but the sewage pipes and sewer pipes are not connected-after all, this is the upper reaches of the river, so the huge amount of water produced at this time is the rainwater brought by the heavy rain.
