Whispering Poems

Chapter 451 Furniture
The gas lamp at home is very bright, Mia cat under the lamp is very cute, and Xia De in the living room is also very surprised.

Surprised that even if Mia stretched out her head to sniff the metal plates, Shad didn't stop her.

Two concave plates and two convex plates, the pattern of one shilling banknote is extremely delicate and real, and the roughness of the metal cannot be felt at all when rubbed with fingers, which has a unique feeling of civilization and steam industry.

"Um"

Xia De felt hot and itchy all over his back in the middle of the night, and cold sweat came out of his forehead:
"It won't be."

Going to check the side of the metal plate, the letters of "Ministry of the Kingdom of Delarion Top Secret" are clearly engraved on the same position of the four plates. Below the letters is the coat of arms of the Cavendish family.

"Um"

Xia De put down the four silver-gray metal plates in his hand, then covered his face and rubbed it vigorously twice:
"The Mint of the Kingdom of Delarion, this is the master plate for printing banknotes."

[God's Gift Box] Giving a gift is a copy of an existing item, so even if Xia De's guess is correct, there will be no news about the missing of important items in the mint and the wanted criminals across the country.

Xia De carefully inspected the item in his hand under the light again, and he was basically sure that this is the standard master of the current 1850 edition of 1 shilling banknotes.

This gift is quite a hassle.

"I want more gold pounds, but just give me the printed copy and print it myself"

Not to mention that Xia De is not poor enough to take such a big risk to make counterfeit money, even if he wants to do so, he doesn't know the material of the banknote paper at all.

"So, this thing can't be sold at all. Could it be used as a table foot at home?"

Xia De thought hesitantly, and then pulled out the lying cat that jumped into the [God's Gift Box] at some point.

He looked at the four metal panels on the sofa:

"Destroy. It's a pity, and this is a gift from God. It's not polite to destroy it rashly. Then, why don't you give it to someone else? I can't keep this. Even if I don't find out, I can't think about it all day long." It should be a pleasant surprise that Rezia will be back in Tobesk soon, as a gift from her trip. But is the printing master of a coin an appropriate gift for a girl?"

Miss Galina, who will definitely pay a lot of money to buy these things, is not considered because Xia De is really worried that the witch will use the masters printed by these banknotes to cause trouble.

Xia De believes that Miss Galina is such a person.

After thinking about the solution to these difficult "gifts", Xia De put the [God's Gift Box] and four printed plates back to the wall of the basement, and then carried the cat through the dark stairs to the second floor. building.

A stranger likes the sound of his shoes on the stairs, because it reminds him that the big house under his feet belongs to him completely.

"Well, Rezia will probably like it."

But anyway, Shad wasn't going to tell anyone, not even Dorothy, that he had got it.After all, these four printed plates are, in a sense, more dangerous than relics.Once it gets out and is obtained by someone who really knows how to use it, it will cause big troubles for this country, and Xia De's peaceful life will no longer exist.

"But the request for this gift is very simple."

Last week I helped others wash clothes, and this week I went outdoors to feed stray cats twice a week.This is not complicated for Shad, he has cat food at home, and a city like Tobesk has no shortage of stray cats.

"Stay away from Mia, though."

If the cat, which has been getting smarter recently, finds out that Shade took away its rations to feed the cats outside, it will probably pass out from anger.

"All in all, it was another pretty magical Monday."

This was the last thing Shade thought of before turning on the gas lamp at the desk, uncapping the pen, removing the cat from the paper in front of him, and starting to write his own investigator's report.

(Dorothy is rushing to draft.)

When I woke up on Monday morning, the sky outside was foggy, and I couldn't tell whether it was good weather or wanting to rain.

The fountain pen on the table reflected even fainter light in the faint morning light, and the owner of the pen was stretched and ready to start a new week.

The report submitted to the college last night had already been answered. Professor Garcia seemed to be frightened by the first key, so he stayed up all night waiting for Shade to deliver the report.He processed all the follow-ups of this investigation mission overnight, and gave a reply to the investigation report.

Because the report was well-written, and Xia De did not write about encountering God, according to the ordinary poet-level key, the professor rewarded Xia De with 5 practical credits. 3 credits are the basic rewards for the investigation, and 2 credits are the rewards for Shade's information on "Fort Dread" and Mr. Riddle's life.

The School of History will conduct a more in-depth investigation on Mr. Riddle and the Dreadfort in the future.Professor Garcia originally predicted that the key corresponding event was not the one that Shade encountered, so even if he was not in danger, with the attitude of supplementing the lack of history, the investigation of this matter cannot be given up.

As for Shad himself, the most important thing for him today is not to find out about Mr. Riddle's life, but to buy some new furniture for himself.

After all, starting this week, the house is going to be renovated.

Xia De has already contacted the Church of Dawn, and they will help connect the stairs from the second floor to the third floor during this period, which was originally agreed by the church.The workers who inspected the specific damage on the third floor and carried out the construction will probably come to No. [-], Plaza de Saint Teresa together with the people from the church after ten o'clock in the morning.

Before they came, Xia De was going to go out to buy some furniture for himself.He doesn't pursue high-quality high-end handmade furniture, and even if he doesn't have some savings, he plans to go to Old John to find some cheap ones.

It's just that Xia De just changed his clothes, and when he thought about whether to take the lazy cat out together, he felt the badge on his chest slightly warm:

"Oh? My badge is heating up, there must be a witch nearby."

Before he could look for it, there was a knock on the downstairs door, and outside was Miss Tifa Servitt who came in a carriage.

Seeing Xia De who opened the door dressed as if he was about to go out, the black-haired maid who got off the carriage asked hesitantly:
"Mr. Hamilton, have I interrupted your arrangements?"

"of course not."

Xia De hurriedly shook his head and invited her in:

"I was just going out to buy some furniture."

When going upstairs with the maid, Xia De briefly introduced the upcoming construction of this house.Miss Servet nodded to show that she understood that as for the purpose of her coming here, Miss Galina wanted to know from Shade what happened to the Prophet Association last Thursday afternoon.

"What happened to the Prophet Association? It's because the princess was injured."

If it wasn't for the impressive reward Princess Adelina gave afterwards, Shad would have even forgotten about it:

"Is there anything wrong with this? I don't think my findings will be wrong."

Although he was puzzled, he still explained in detail what happened that day.The black-haired maid didn't say a word during the period, and after he finished speaking, she whispered:
"Do you know the identity of the 'murderer' who was 'discovered by a cat'?"

"do not know."

"Prince Sax's lover."

Xia De recalled the age of the girl in the blue dress at that time, and couldn't help frowning.Princess Adelina is 16 and most of her friends are of a similar age.Even though he knew that this world and this era were different from his hometown, Shad still couldn't help feeling malicious towards the prince who broke into the Yodel Palace with weapons:
"So, what the hell is going on."

"The naive girl was coaxed by someone with a heart, and she committed a ridiculous crime in order to save her lover."

said Tifa, wanting further explanation, but Shad had it all figured out:
"In this kind of political turmoil, people who don't understand anything but are still involved are the most likely to be used as guns."

"You seem to understand."

The maid asked with a smile, Xia De immediately shook his head:
"No, no, I don't understand anything, don't tell me anything else, I don't want to know anything."

The smile on her face grew brighter:
"You really understand. Well, please don't explain, I will tell the lady your description."

Speaking of standing up, Xia De also got up and prepared to send her downstairs, but the maid looked around and asked again:
"Mr. Hamilton, how much furniture do you lack? Please make a list and it will be sent to you this afternoon."

"No no, how can I."

"There are a lot of spare furniture in the manor, and putting them in the basement will take up space. Besides, you don't need much furniture for a small house like yours. Even if I don't mention it, the lady will prepare furniture for you after hearing about it. Although I shouldn't Judge the relationship between you and the lady on your own, but even in the face of a beautiful lady, the lady will rarely take the initiative to kiss the forehead."

Xia De was actually more curious about whether Miss Galina had kissed the forehead of the beautiful maid in front of him, but he controlled his doubts very well.As for the furniture, after thinking about it, I did not refuse:
"Thank Miss Galina for me, and, of course, you too. As for the furniture I'm missing."

He thought about the specific amount, and the black-haired maid suggested:

"Why don't you take me around the house, I'll confirm the size of the room and the decoration style you like, and I'll prepare the furniture for you."

Sometimes, Xia De really envied Miss Galina for having such a professional maid.

The maid's unexpected visit saved Xia De the time to go to the wood market in the lower part of the city to look at the furniture.After sending her off, seeing that there was still some time before ten o'clock, Xia De took the cat to the Dawn Church to visit Priest Augustus.

The "angel potion" on the priest's side has not been finished yet, but he knew that Xia De wanted the church's construction team to help pick up the stairs today, so he asked:
"Speaking of which, do you need a supervisor?"

"Supervisor?"

Xia De did not understand the meaning of this word for a moment.
