Whispering Verse

Chapter 2432 Night Interlude

The young black-haired witch looked at her student:

"The princess of the North Kingdom can even bring out her own sister, but you are still reserved. You don't really want to wait until Shade goes to Willondale City? After all this time, you still don't think he will make a promise to you?"

"Teacher, I am a witch's apprentice and I must remain pure."

Scattered blond hair hung casually behind Margaret, but Miss Sylvia joked:

"So what's the truth?"

Margaret raised her neck slightly:

"I'm waiting for him to speak first. If he takes the initiative, I will... girl?"

Miss Sylvia shook her head and looked at her students:

"Love and war don't make sense, Carina always says that."

So Her Royal Highness the Princess plucked up the courage and asked:

"So teacher, where are you?"

"My dear Margaret~ There is still a difference between a witch and a witch's apprentice."

Emma Sylvia, who thought she had left very quickly, said that although she speculated about what Carina and Shad had had, she still didn't think she had lost much.

On the other side, Shade, who left Margaret Manor, did not return directly to the ship, but went to Spider Alley again.

This time it was a coincidence that although Mr. Albert was not in the autopsy room, after the guidance of his colleagues, Shade found him in the Spider Hotel talking to Bernhardt.

When the two of them saw Shade, they both stretched out their hands to say hello. Shade then also sat down at the table. After the innkeeper wearing an apron left, Shade glanced at Mr. Albert in a burqa, and then said to Mr. Bernhardt:

"Something big is going to happen."

"Well don't big things happen all the time?"

Lord Vampire Seed was puzzled, and Shade raised his eyebrows:

"The real big stuff, probably similar to what Middlesbrough did last autumn."

Mr. Bernhardt was startled, and then almost jumped up from the table:

"Are you sure? No, you're not one to joke. So when is it?"

Mr. Albert on the side was also listening carefully, and Shade did not hide anything:

"The church will probably find traces of the ritual soon. I can't determine the specific time, but it should be between the weekend and next Tuesday."

"This week? But today is already Thursday!"

Mr. Bernhardt immediately became restless. Shade did not comfort him, but asked again:

"How is the investigation into the businessman Thomas Pidgeon going?"

"I asked Captain Rudolf's connections to investigate Pigeon's fleet. On the surface, he was doing business with the Islands, but in fact, he had been doing smuggling business with the New World. I arranged for people to investigate his warehouse and cabin, and the result was really He discovered some magic potions and alchemy materials that are special to the Old World, and judging from the types, the person he was trading with must be the [Dragon Feast Cult].”

"Caught a mouse."

Mr. Albert said while holding the wine glass, and Bernhardt sighed:

"Mr. Watson, after you find out if there is something wrong with Carmen Eddington, we will arrest Pigeon. Don't worry about him escaping. I have enough manpower now. There are people around him 24 hours a day." Yes. And it would be better if he escaped. We might be able to discover more secrets with him."

"Tomorrow is Friday, and I will see Carmen Eddington at the Margaret Manor banquet in the evening. If he is really just an ordinary person, I can ask under hypnosis. If he is not, it will be an interesting question. "

The innkeeper came again and brought the beer that Shade ordered. There are no delicious drinks in this kind of small shop. Shade ordered drinks just to prevent himself from having nothing in front of him.

"With this matter settled, I'll have nothing in my hands. We'll be ready for battle over the weekend and next Tuesday."

Mr. Bernhardt had no intention of backing down. Now that he had come to this point, he had obviously made up his mind. As for the symbolic relics that Shade needed to summon the gods, he had already prepared them, but because Mr. Albert was here, he did not mention it directly.

"Mr. Watson, actually I also want to ask you for help with something."

The coroner said from the side again, and Shade looked at him again:

"whats the matter?"

"It's not a very troublesome matter. If the matter is resolved smoothly, you can finally get a Rhodes card with special rules as reward."

He spoke in a very calm tone:

"You should also know about the three precious cards that made a fuss in Yuewan City some time ago. Yes, you must know, after all, you have won one at the Parsifal Club. I know the most precious card. But I need to solve some problems first. I wonder if you have time on Saturday?"

Shade nodded hesitantly:

"I think there is."

Although Saturday afternoon was the time for the group meeting, even Dorothy had already come to Moon Bay by then, and Tobesk was left with only him and the doctor. It would not be a big problem if the group study meeting was canceled this time. And since Ptolemy Albert made an appointment with him before God descended, he definitely didn't just want him to help.

"Well, Mr. Watson, we'll meet here at half past nine on Saturday morning."

"What's the trouble? Do you need my help?"

Mr. Bernhardt on the side also asked. Mr. Albert glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"Armand, this time it's just me and Mr. Watson."

They were drinking here just now, and they were also talking about ethnic traitors. Therefore, not long after Shade arrived, Mr. Albert left first on the grounds that the topic was over.

Mr. Bernhardt turned his head and watched his figure disappear, and then asked Xiang Shade:

"I can tell that something's not right with you today."

Pause for a moment:

"Because of Ptolemy?"

"Yes."

Mr. Bernhardt was not surprised at all:

"Did you know that there is a very subtle mutual induction between vampires and vampires? This mutual induction is stronger among higher vampires. There is currently no research to prove the origin of this perception, but it should be related to our Blood related.

I am telling you all this nonsense. When I first came to Yuewan three months ago and saw Ptolemy, whom I had not seen for a long time, I already felt that he was like an unstable steam bomb. Although he is only a six-ring player on the surface, I probably can't beat him.

I originally thought he had some adventure, but so many things have happened since you arrived, and I have almost figured it out. [Blood Sorrow] should be in his hands, right? "

Shade nodded:

"I asked someone to investigate his identity and background. There are many stories in it. Let's go to another restaurant for dinner. I'll talk to you about this. I want you to evaluate this person from your perspective."

Dinner is also served at the Spider Hotel, but apparently it's not very good. So the two of them left the lower city and went to the core of the city on the upper reaches of the Taton River to have dinner.

During this period, Shade explained the coroner's suspected origin, the reason for going to the New World after graduation, his experiences in the New World, and the general story of his middle age. Finally, he mentioned what happened yesterday when he was investigating [Eternal Light] and met the opponent's leader "Pious Cultivator" and was scratched by [Blood Sorrow].

Some of these things were already understood by Mr. Bernhardt. He listened and nodded. He didn't give the answer until Shade finished speaking and the two of them walked together in the Parliament Square under Belindel's Big Ben. :

"I know you may think that I am favoring my friends, but to this day, I still think that Ptolemy is a good and honest man. Otherwise, I would not keep asking him for help."

"I don't deny his justice."

Shade also said:

"But is it necessarily right for a just person to do a just thing? We don't discuss philosophical issues. I also think Mr. Albert is a good person, but should we trust him completely?"

The middle-aged Vampire Seed Lord is not a stupid young man who has not experienced anything. Regarding this issue, he just remained silent.

At this time, night has fallen. Standing in the glowing fog, you look up at the towering Belindel Big Ben——

When~

The clock struck six-thirty, and Shade had already made his decision.

Although he had dinner with Mr. Bernhardt that day, Shade returned to Belindel Manor before going home.

However, something unexpected happened that night. It was almost midnight, and the bedroom of the Hamilton Detective Agency was as hot as ever.

The blond hair was entangled with Shade, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was using the writer's body for the "second half." Their period of physical discomfort lasted for six days and finally ended.

She was kissing Shade passionately, when suddenly there was a knock on the door——

Dong dong dong~

"Someone's knocking on the bedroom door!"

Shade immediately broke free from Lesia's arm, which made Her Royal Highness very dissatisfied:

"Why did you stop? It's little Mia knocking on the door. She's probably hungry. Don't you want to help it lose weight? Just ignore it."

"It's not little Mia, it's me. Doesn't that cat like to scratch the door?"

The clear voice of the red-haired witch came from outside the door, with helplessness in her voice:

"Lecia, open the door."

She knew from the conversation inside the door that the person on the "battlefield" at this time was Lesia, who was supposed to be in Yodel Palace.

"What are you going to do? It's ours as promised tonight!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke in the direction of the door without forgetting to put her arms around Sha De's neck, as if she was worried that Sha De would suddenly run away.

"Of course there is something important. Just now my jewelry sent a message asking me to go to the parliament for a meeting. Didn't you hear me singing in the corridor? Something happened again over at Moon Bay. Shade, open the door. I can I don’t want to listen to Lesia’s deliberate voice talking to you through the door.”

Although she was quite reluctant, Lesia also knew the priority of the matter, so although she was still complaining, she kissed Shade a few times and "let" Shade go.
