Whispering Poems

Chapter 196 Five Letters
In short, after three weeks, Shade finally ended all the exploration of the first time key and witnessed the last story of God.While the harvest is huge, it also means that Xia De can try to open the second key.

He got a Fifth Epoch 3002 key from Old John on Monday, and after summing up his gains, he tried to push the door with a new key.

Then, as he had predicted, the key would fit into the completely mismatched lock, but it would not turn the lock.The rule of using the time key at intervals of one week is common to all keys.

Therefore, if Shad wants to explore the second past time, he will have to wait until the early hours of next Thursday.

As for the relic [another face] obtained from the maid, it was placed behind the hidden wall in the basement by Shade. The side effects of this thing are huge, but the containment conditions are very simple. linen will do.

While placing the relics, looking at the statue of the ancient god in the center of the circular space, Xia De clutched the wooden box containing the "White Stone Crystal". After thinking for a long time, he didn't immediately try to open another space signpost.

He is already very tired tonight, and he is not sure whether to teleport, whether there is a cooldown like [Time Key], or whether there is no need to wait like the last time "Place of Saint Teresa to Plaza of Saint Teresa".

But if you travel a long distance and can't come back immediately, the cost of taking the steam train is still second, and the cat at home is a big problem if there is no one to take care of it.

Therefore, Xia De intends to try the function of this statue of the ancient god until he has settled all the matters in his hands and has time for a long-distance travel.Anyway, the statue is here, and Shade won't run away because he doesn't use it.

As for tonight's most important harvest, the leaves representing spirit runes and thaumaturgy, Xia De didn't know how to use them.It is possible to soak it in water, eat it directly, or stick it on the head.

And in order not to damage the two leaves because of the reckless attempt, he decided to ask some reliable people tomorrow.

After dealing with a series of troublesome things in his hands, he finally ended this magical day.

Closing my eyes and ushering in the dream, I recalled the events of the whole day again, and I was very sure that even compared with the night at the Lake View Manor, today is a very magical day.

(Mia is running.)

Early on Thursday morning, when Xia De went downstairs to get the newspaper and goat milk, he found a total of 5 letters addressed to him, which is a rare thing.

The first two letters were from Dr. Schneider and Miss Bayas, both asking about Shard's health.Both of them were at the gate of Tobesk Station yesterday, and they saw the scene of Xia De suddenly jumping out to block the bullet.Although I saw that he was fine later, I was still a little worried, so I wrote to ask about the specific situation.

The third letter was sent by Priest Augustus, on high-grade letter paper specially used for churches sprinkled with spices.He invited Shad to be a guest at Dawn Church this afternoon, and claimed that Bishop Owen had something to discuss with Shad.

"Hmm, about the commemorative coins?"

Sitting on the sofa and looking up at the coffee table, the commemorative coin still embedded with the warhead was lying there quietly.After yesterday's scene in the street, it would be strange if the Church of the Dawn didn't want to do something.

It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, and it is no problem to go to church in the afternoon.But he must pay attention to pretending to be injured, otherwise it may cause doubts about his identity.

The fourth was, as expected, a letter from Captain Rudds.Because of Xia De's accidental shooting, after the fat woman related to the child's disappearance was captured, all the records were completed by Captain Lades.He only came out of Ridwich Field at eight o'clock yesterday, but he didn't think it was a waste of time.

The captain told Shad very excitedly in the letter that because he was also considered to be the key person who cracked this major case, he received news from his friend after leaving Ridwich Field.After the police department commends the case, once he can also get the reward, the Royal Army will consider letting him return to the original unit and return to the front line as a captain.

Captain Rudds was so agitated that his handwriting, already bad, became even more distorted and illegible.

Xia De looked at the letter in his hand and smiled easily. He was very happy for Captain Lades. The current embarrassing life of the captain is caused by the [relic].If he could be allowed to return to the place he was familiar with and return to his own life, then this was the best compensation the captain could get so far.

In his letter the captain said he intended to visit Shad this evening to express his gratitude.He knew that yesterday's noon detective had really done a great job compared to the little things he had done.Therefore, it is guessed that Xia De will be very busy recently, so he chooses to visit at night.

And the last letter was more like a note than a letter.It was signed by Xia De's nominal boss, Mr. An Luosi from MI[-].In the note, he informed that he would visit the Place Saint Teresa at eight o'clock this morning, and told Chad not to go out.

"What will Mr. An Luosi do when he finds me?"

He guessed various possibilities, and an hour later, the first thing the middle-aged gentleman did after entering the door was to take out a thick envelope and hand it to Xia De.

Shad squeezed it to make sure that if it wasn't full of papers, it must be full of banknotes.

"One pound."

When going up the stairs, he said to Mr. An Luosi who was behind Shad.Xia De's hand holding the envelope was violent, leaving marks on the surface of the envelope.

Foreigners have never had access to so much cash in this world, and even the share of the money that the doctor intends to cash out from the college is not as much as this amount.

"The 100 pounds is a reward set up by MI200 and the city hall for solving the missing child case. It took a few days to give it to you, but I got it for you in advance. The other [-] pounds are my personal thanks to you."

Xia De stopped, and turned his head in surprise to look at the middle-aged man standing on the stairs one step lower than him. The latter grabbed his hat and nodded slightly to Xia De:
"Thank you for everything you did yesterday, Mr Hamilton."

The tone is very serious, and the expression is very serious.

"It's my pleasure."

Xia De also nodded slightly, and then continued to lead his boss up.Until now, the respect that this veteran intelligence officer of the Kingdom has for Xia De is finally not all because of Miss Galina.

Xia De's MI[-] identity, unless he betrayed the Kingdom of Delarion, was already solid and almost impossible to change.

Mr. Anros visited Shard himself, not all to send him gold pounds.He brought a total of two pieces of news. The first piece of news was that the investigation into the serial disappearance of Tobesk children went very smoothly.

This appears to be a huge human trafficking organization, and the one caught yesterday was the main ringleader.At present, Reedwich Field and MI[-] are conducting a nationwide investigation based on the information in hand.

Even though everyone knew that it was impossible to find all the missing children, at least this panic-stricken incident was finally over.

The second news is also good news. Shade's "Knight of Honor of De La Rion" has been approved.On Sunday night this week, the king will present awards to those who have contributed to the "missing children", including Shad, at the royal estate on the outskirts of the city.

In addition to Shad, two other lucky gentlemen were rewarded, but those were the low-level De La Rion Contribution Medal.One of them was the old detective from Ridwich Yard who had been in charge of the investigation.The other is the current Chief of Police of Ridwich Field. The medal is actually not important to this gentleman with the title of Viscount.

"Why did you decide to present the award so quickly? Didn't this happen just yesterday? In one night, the royal family and the city hall made a decision?"

Xia De asked the question suspiciously, but he had no doubts about the speed of the official's procrastination.

"In order to calm people's hearts, of course, it is also to give Queen Diana a suitable reason to appear in public and smooth some rumors."

"gossip?"

Mr. Anros's answer is very cautious:

"After yesterday's assassination incident, the rumors that Queen Diana was shot and died immediately emerged. The royal family needs to pay special attention to handling this matter, so there needs to be a suitable occasion for Queen Diana to appear."

"Mr. An Luosi, actually, I feel that yesterday's assassination itself had a problem, and the rumor spread a little too fast?"

Xia De asked, and then thought of the passage that the black-haired maid stopped Mr. An Luosi from saying yesterday.

"Is it true?"

He pointed his finger in the direction of the kitchen, and the kitchen window looked out over the yordle.

Mr. An Luosi showed a secretive expression:

"This kind of topic can't be talked nonsense, Mr. Hamilton, don't guess any more, it has nothing to do with you. Also, your identity is an enthusiastic ordinary citizen, and the background of MI[-] will not be exposed."

In this way, the background of the entire assassination incident seems to be more complicated than outsiders expected.

"But why Sunday night again?"

he asked again.

"Again? Do you have anything else to do on Sunday?"

Mr. An Luosi asked back, Xia De shook his head.I just sigh, since I came to this world, Sunday nights never seem to be idle.But fortunately, this time I finally don't have to play the Rhodes card.

"Oh, remember to bring the Rhodes card. This kind of high-level dinner will become very easy after His Majesty the King leaves. If the purpose is to make friends, the Rhodes card is a good tool. Since Miss Galina I really value you, so it is very helpful to meet some friends, this black tea is really good."

Mr. An Luosi sighed, Xia De glanced at the teacup, somehow thought of Detective Sparrow.When the former detective was alive, he probably would never have imagined that his own house and his own black tea would entertain the director of MI[-].

Mr. An Luosi is also a very busy person. He stayed here for 10 minutes before leaving.

Then Xia De also went out, and took Mia with him.First, I delivered the reply letters to the doctor and Miss Bayas at the mailbox on the corner of the street, and then went straight to the Prophet Association with the cat in my arms.
