Whispering Poems

Chapter 251 Intense unease

"Xia De, oh, I still want to ask why you are here. I read the newspaper, congratulations, the title of knight is really powerful, I thought it was just a medal."

The doctor and Xia De stood at the window in the corridor looking out, a little curious about Xia De's attitude at this time.He straightened the cuffs of the black formal suit that had been wrinkled by Xia De's hand, and said loudly:

"As for the reason why I am here, do you still remember Earl Abrash's family? One of my most important patients recently."

Xia De frowned suspiciously:

"The one with bulimia?"

The doctor nodded proudly:

"Yes, the count's wife and daughter's illnesses have improved a lot after my psychological counseling and their personal doctor's medical treatment. The count's family is attending this banquet tonight, so they also specially invite me to attend, as Thank you for one."

"This is the first time I've heard that someone used invitation to a banquet as a thank you. This is a charity banquet for donating money. The earl thanked you with this?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and the doctor smiled awkwardly.He still wanted to explain, but seeing Xia De's suspicious expression, he gave up lying after thinking about it.He scratched his nose and lowered his voice:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but I still hope that you won't be involved. After all, this matter is too dangerous. What else can I come here for? I was not invited, but I took the initiative to cure the countess. By chance, the Earl gave me an invitation. The purpose is a plaster statue."

"What plaster cast? Eh? Plaster cast?"

Xia De suddenly thought of more things, he turned and looked behind him, getting closer to the doctor:
"You mean, those five"

"Yes, it's one of them."

Last week, the doctor finally locked the final hiding place of the [Forged Philosopher's Stone] through repeated dreams.That precious liquid [relic] was poured into red glass in a special way, faked into plaster eyes, and hidden on one of the five statues.

"One of them is here?"

"Yes, Earl Maupassant is not alone in raising funds for the university. Among today's auction items, the Maupassant family only provided one-third, and the remaining two-thirds were donated by others for auction One of the statues was donated. The statue itself is just a handicraft, with excellent workmanship and embellished with precious stones and precious metals. The starting price is 60 pounds."

The doctor explained, lowering his voice and exhorting:

"It has nothing to do with you, so I didn't want to tell you just now."

"But this banquet"

Xia De was vigilant and didn't directly say that the banquet was a ceremony of the evil gods coming. Miss Galina repeatedly warned that any kind of ring magician and relics may appear at the banquet tonight. Therefore, after entering the house, under any circumstances, absolutely Can't mention the coming of the evil god.

"It's fine, but I need your help with something urgent."

Xia De sorted out his thoughts, tried to keep his voice down, and spoke quickly:
"Do you still remember the client you introduced to me last time? Something went wrong with the commission, and I needed his psychological diagnosis materials. The guy was mentally abnormal, and he actually said that he saw some mermaid in the sewer. I originally thought about going to find him tomorrow. You, I didn't expect to meet you here. If it's convenient, doctor, can you go back and bring me his information now, don't worry. "

He rereads "There's no need to hurry":
"Just take it slowly."

While talking, he blinked at the doctor quickly, then shook his head.Dr. Schneider's luck may be really bad, he can even bump into this kind of thing, but Xia De can't let him stay here.

The doctor was taken aback by Xia De's words:
"Huh? Oh, that file."

He widened his eyes, and then made an expression of sudden realization:

"I knew that entrustment was not easy. You really have encountered a problem. It doesn't matter. I'll go get it now. Why don't we go to the clinic to get it together. I just want to introduce you to that gentleman."

The doctor and Xia De looked at each other and said, the eyeballs in the blue eyes kept shaking.He understood the danger here and wanted to leave with Xia De
But Xia De shook his head:

"I still have some things to do here, I will go to the clinic to see you later. The matter has been done, and I am still waiting for the carriage."

"Waiting for the carriage, are you sure you don't want to go with me?"

the doctor asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving soon."

Xia De said, the doctor opened his mouth:
"Okay then, I'll go back and sort out the information you want first, Xia De."

"what?"

"If you need my help, just ask."

"Don't worry, the matter is over. I'm just here to help people participate in the auction."

The doctor pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, waved to Xia De, and walked along the corridor to the lobby on the first floor.

While the doctor may have had really bad luck, at least this time, he escaped the bad luck that was about to happen here.

The church will not allow Priest Augustus to appear here. Miss Anat is waiting for Xia De in the distance. When the doctor leaves, Xia De will leave immediately. In the morning, he will go to Miss Louisa to get back the piece of [Youth Leaf]. Shi (Note) also confirmed that she has been staying at home tonight.

Therefore, the group of five people who were unlucky in the first blood feast really had nothing to do with the evil god's second blood feast.

The maid's handling of Yvant's matter was slower than Xia De expected.The meeting time he had agreed with Miss Anat and Miss Bayas was 08:30, but it was already ten past eight when Shad received the signal to leave the mansion.

He left here in a carriage with the maid, and he was relieved when he couldn't see the mansion in the night from the window.The rain had completely stopped at this time, but the damp smell in the air was mixed with the resurging fog, making the city smell a bit bad.

Shad handed over the pen, the old storybook, and the remaining gold pounds to the maid Tifa for safekeeping, and the maid returned Shad's [relics], coat and ruby ​​ring to him, and showed him with a smile. That white pebble ring:

"The plan went smoothly. Although it took some time, all traces have been cleaned up."

[Metamorphosis Ring] Lying quietly in the maid's palm, the first relic Xia De saw in this world appeared in front of him again.

"Miss Galina's matter is over, and the following is my own matter."

He waved his hand with a serious expression on his face, but he didn't intend to twist up the ring to check.

Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, the black-haired maid asked curiously:
"Mr. Hamilton, don't you want to borrow this ring? You should know its function. This is equivalent to an extra life."

"Just take it to Miss Galina, I won't touch it."

Xia De shook his head, the [Metamorphosis Ring] is powerful but also has the effect of twisting the mind.He has divinity by his side, and when he has the time to use the ring, it is better to use divinity directly.After all, he will not escape tonight, he must get the gift for himself in the [God's Gift Box].

"Then I wish you in advance that the operation will go smoothly."

The maid showed a regretful expression, then carefully put the ring into a metal box, and solemnly put the metal box into the pocket of the cumbersome long skirt.She put her legs together, folded her hands on her knees, and reminded softly:

"Miss can't directly help you deal with the silver-eyed person, but if you need to deal with the aftermath, you can always mention it to miss."

Xia De looked at her unexpectedly, and did not expect the maid to take the initiative to tell him this.The black-haired maid showed a peaceful expression:

"You deserve Miss's help."

Xia De smiled:
"I have prepared well, and I don't think there will be any problems. But if there is something that needs Miss Galina's help, I will mention it. I just hope that next time, Miss Galina will not let me appear in such a dangerous place." It's the occasion."

He played with the unused time key in his pocket:
"Even worst-case contingency plans, I've done more than one. Tonight, that's not what I'm worried about."

Xia De looked out the window:

"I'm worried about the god drop ceremony."

"We have to believe in the Orthodox Church."

It really sounds a little funny that someone from the Council of Witches said this.

"I just ran into that thirteen-ring magician, Mr. Hogg Rendell, on the first floor. The church is also worried about accidents, but I always have a strange feeling of uneasiness. No, it's not about what I'm about to do disturbed."

He has no reason to be uneasy about the ruins. With a drop of divinity in hand, the silver-eyed person is actually dead.

"I fear tonight, something else will happen."

"Intuition? I see."

The maid nodded to Xia De, and her brown eyes met him:
"I'll tell the lady about your intuition in a while. If possible, I'll persuade her to pay attention to what happened in that mansion tonight."

"That's really bothering you."

Xia De said embarrassingly, after all, it was just a feeling, and there was no evidence.

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

She smiled a little shyly.

If he didn't know the strength of the other party, it would be difficult for Xia De to connect this elegant young maid with the ring warlock.

It would be too stupid for the carriage not to send Shad directly to the gate of Nok Printing Factory where the entrance of the ruins is located.The place where Xia De met the two ladies was at the White Swan Hotel, which is a street away from the printing factory.

Miss Anat rented a room here in advance, and a few days ago, she conducted investigation and divination on the Nock Printing Factory nearby.

When exchanging information with each other at Xia De's house yesterday, she had already explained the general way to enter the printing factory and the ruins.And when Xia De saw them in a three-strong and two-weak way of knocking on the door, Miss Anat had a new harvest:
"Come here, Shad."

Outside the window was the heavy night after the rain, almost all the gas lamps in the room were turned on, and even a few candles were stuck on the ground.

The three of them stood in front of the bed together, the sheets and quilts were put aside, and the bed was covered with dense notes, documents, and pages of notebooks.Miss Anat picked up one of them and handed it to Shad, on which was a circular emblem drawn with a pencil.

　PS: It's not an important thing, no detailed description.Here is a word, it is an explanation, Xia De now has two leaves in his hand.
