Whispering Poems

Chapter 377 A High Price

After the waiter left, Mr. Randall lowered his voice and asked Shad, his brown eyes looked at the young detective across the table.

"I am looking for you, I am the same as you."

Xia De hinted at his identity as a Ring Warlock, put his hands together on the table, and on the table between the two, candles were burning on the golden candlestick.Of course, this is not for lighting. The gas lamp disguised as a crystal chandelier above the head is the light source, and the candles are just decoration.

The yellowish light illuminated the faces of the two and allowed them to see each other's eyes.

"I'm looking for a ritual recently."

Shad also lowered his voice to prevent being heard by others:

"It's a very ancient ceremony, so I need the help of an ancient organization like you. I have no malice towards you, otherwise I wouldn't reveal my identity."

Mr. Randall nodded hesitantly:
"In this day and age, there are not many people who know us. You seem very friendly, and you don't mean to hide your identity. So what exactly do you need?"

"this."

Xia De took out the notebook from his coat pocket, tore off the folded page and handed it to the other party.The latter took a look and frowned slightly:

"You think we'll have something like this? It's a call. You know what it is."

He glanced around nervously, which gave Xia De the illusion that the two were secret agents:

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who would have it. Is it possible to find this? If so, please make an offer."

He pressed his left arm on the table and made a please gesture with his right hand.

"I can't answer you directly. I want to seek help from my companions. After all, I don't have a library in my head. As for the price. Mr. Hamilton, if you can tell us how you know our existence, then I can promise you , the knowledge you want can be sold to you at the lowest price.”

Mr. Randall speaks very seriously. Although he is not a professor, he has been in contact with the school all year round, making him look like a qualified upper-class gentleman mentioned in the book.

"The time key."

Xia De said the answer he had already thought about without changing his face:
"During the time travel of the fifth era, I have seen your organization at the front end of the long river of time, and heard about your affairs, and even heard one of you say with your own ears that you will come before the final doomsday." It has always existed, and I have always insisted on my own ideas. That's why I thought of looking for you in this era. I was lucky enough to find out about the Light Guide Club and then contact you. us."

Although there are elements of lies, most of them are true.As for this weird way of speaking with a lot of modifying adjectives, Xia De learned it from Luvia, which can make others think that he looks very powerful.

Shad made his excuse, and Mr. Randall did not speak at once.For a long time, he nodded slightly, but his eyes were always on Xia De:

"Okay, I can accept this reason, and I think other people in the Priory can also accept it. I didn't expect that we would be exposed because of this reason. However, please don't tell the second person about the Priory of Guiding Light."

"No problem, please keep my identity a secret."

So Mr. Randall passed Shade's paper to his companion waiting outside on the pretext of going to the bathroom.The two sat at the table chatting and eating their own food. After half an hour, Mr. Randall suddenly got up.When I came back again, I didn't take anything in my hand.

"What, no news?"

Shad asked.

"There is news you want, but it cannot be recorded on paper, here."

The middle-aged man pointed to his head, his body was sitting very straight, and he knew that he often attended such occasions:
"Although we have always disliked exposing ourselves since the Sixth Epoch, the principle of fair trade has never changed. I believe you know the value of this ceremony. Our asking price is"

"Wait, I want to know the completeness of the ceremony."

Shad interrupted him, and Mr. Randall considered for a moment:
"If you only rely on the part we know, you will definitely not be able to complete the ceremony. But if you have some information in your hand, you may be able to confirm each other and complete the missing part."

"What I care about is the last part, what will be accomplished at the end of the ceremony."

This is the key, what Miss Fei Lianna lost was the last part of the ceremony.

"We have this part of the information, and the information is hidden in a fairy tale. If you want all the information, it costs 1300 pounds. If you only need the name and interpretation of the fairy tale about the last ceremony, it costs 430 pounds."

Strictly speaking, this is indeed the lowest price.Even if the ceremony is incomplete, it is a god-calling ceremony after all, and any knowledge related to "god" is very expensive, which is a premium phenomenon accepted by ring warlocks.

"Just be safe, I want them all, um, can I pay on credit?"

Xia De asked again embarrassedly, Mr. Randall obviously did not expect him to say this, he shook his head regretfully:
"I'm sorry, detectives at Saint Teresa Square, we only accept cash. Of course, relics are also accepted, but the specific valuation needs to be negotiated."

It's a pity that Shade has no relics that can be sold, but Dorothy still has a scale of a drowned murloc, but that thing Shade is still useful.

"Is it possible to trade tomorrow? I'm going to raise funds. You also know that 1300 pounds is not a small amount. Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, go to No. [-], Plaza Saint Teresa."

He wanted to sell the bottle of murloc's elixir to Miss Galina.But the Duchess is not so easy to meet, he needs to write a letter to inform some situations.

"No, no, I won't enter the Stranger Ring. Stranger's home."

Mr. Randall waved his hand hurriedly, he thought for a while:
"Tomorrow evening at sunset, next to the fountain in Plaza de Saint Teresa, I'm holding a document bag with information, and you are holding a box with money. We pay the money and deliver the goods."

"can."

After finishing their respective food, Shad and Mr. Randall also checked out separately, but the tip was paid by Mr. Randall on his own initiative.

Dorothy did not appear immediately after Chad left the dining room, but waited until he had turned into the Place Saint-Terraine, catching up behind him through the night mist.

"Thank you for your hard work, but fortunately nothing happened this time."

Xia De did not forget to thank her, Dorothy shook her head and said it was nothing, and asked him if the transaction was successful.

In the following night, Xia De continued to follow the female writer to learn the story "Kiss of the Tree". There are too many versions of this ancient fairy tale, and there is even a version in which the princess and the ancient tree come to an end in the firelight.

Dorothy liked this ending very much.

At the same time, Dorothy is trying her best to better grasp the power of "The Little Match Girl" before the promotion ceremony at the end of this year through Shade's spirit rune.

Because of Dorothy's unreserved help, the learning progress of "Kiss of the Tree" is much faster than that of "The Crazy Light Chaser" that Shade watched alone.He had a hunch that maybe the spirit rune of "Kiss of the Tree" would be obtained faster than [Light].
