Whispering Verse

The tone expressed at this time is undoubtedly the most frantic and fearful emotions.

Even though Shade had not seen the performance of the blind musician Mr. Bundy in the last period of his life, hearing the increasingly manic sound of the piano almost completely understood how he reached the end of his life step by step.

This song has a strange magic. When Shade tried to seriously understand the emotions contained in it, he got the emotional resonance almost instantly. The manic music led him to imagine Mr. Bundy huddled in the corner of the house in the dark, shrinking and closing his eyes and whispering his fear, and then led Shade to imagine that on that fateful night when Bundy came to an end, Bundy Mr. Di wrote a suicide note and completely lost the courage to fight against life and destiny.

Although the sound affected his mood, Shade basically remained calm. He sighed, feeling a little pity for the man he had never met before. The music alone could almost drive a poor man mad, and the terror to which Mr. Riddle suffered was incalculable.

"That's enough, Miss Servit."

He warned softly, because there was no need to listen any further. But the black-haired maid seemed not to hear it and continued playing music at the piano. Looking at her profile, the maid's pretty face actually had a ferocious expression.

Shade immediately stood up, came behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders:

"It's over now, Miss Servit."

As Shade's voice fell, the piano sound also stopped abruptly. Miss Servit turned her head to look at Shade in confusion, then lowered her head and said softly:

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

It's not that the music written by an ordinary person on the verge of madness can affect a six-ring warlock with the power of a witch, but that she puts too much emotion into her performance and it affects herself.

Brilliant musicians are often dangerous.

Her fingers left the keys and she looked at the sheet of music in front of her in a daze. Shade glanced out the window. The sun was setting, and it was probably night now. So I tried to use Thaumaturgy Scindia's moonlight gift. Although the effect of Thaumaturgy was not very good because the night had not yet completely fallen, this ability, which is specially used to treat mental damage and soothe the spirit, is still very useful for the current situation. OK

Shade's palm exuded a faint silver light. He hesitated for a moment, then stood behind the black-haired maid and gently pressed her temple with his right index finger.

Miss Servitt obviously wanted to stand up and stop Shade, but Shade's left hand suppressed her shoulder.

"It's very crazy music. Although the score itself has no supernatural power, an ordinary madman cannot write such magical music. From this point of view, my commission still involves a mysterious incident, and my luck is really bad. Detective Luo's luck is really bad. Even if he doesn't die, ahem, he might die because of this. Miss Servit, what do you think of this score?"

Shade continued to ask, and the silver moon light on his fingers penetrated into the maid lady's head through touch. Her forehead was a little wet, and Shade could feel traces of warmth on her fingers.

"If this man is still alive, I would like to meet him. This last piece of music is enough for him to be called a genius. He has witnessed mysterious and terrifying things. In frenzy and fear, he unconsciously passes through these pieces of music. He describes what he sees. Although he is just an ordinary person, his inspiration is really good."

The black-haired maid said softly. Because her back was to Shade, Shade couldn't see her expression.

"See the mystery?"

Shade sighed, this is another misfortune that ordinary people encounter when they encounter a mystery:

"It seems that the natural eye disease that was suddenly cured is indeed abnormal. I got some ointments he used, but there are only a few left and cannot be analyzed. I plan to go to the 'Three Eyes' next to the Anthem Square tomorrow. I asked about the situation at the Cat Hotel, and the landlord and people from the opera troupe said that Mr. Bundy often spent time there after his eyes recovered. After asking about the situation there, I went to visit the ophthalmologist."

"This is a good idea, but I think the possibility that the doctor you are talking about is a ring sorcerer is very low. A ring sorcerer would not do such an imprudent thing. If he were a ring sorcerer, you would not be able to get this score at all. And the remnants of those potions.”

She put her hands on her knees, looking a little reserved at this time:

"I often give young ladies massages like this."

"Miss Carina also has headaches?"

Shade asked curiously.

"Of course, it's not just a matter of the Witch Council, Miss is the de facto person in charge of Saladir County. If she wasn't uninterested in power, she might even have the opportunity to become independent of Saladir County and become the queen of the Principality of Saladir. Territory Even if there are corresponding officials to deal with taxation, finance, and public affairs, the lady is still responsible for making important decisions, which is very troublesome."

Miss Servit explained quietly.

"So"

Shade still wanted to ask, but the door was suddenly pushed open. In this manor, there is only one person who is qualified to push the door open without knocking.

The hurried red-haired witch held the door handle in surprise, stood at the door and looked inside. Miss Servit stood up immediately, and Shade saw her blushing:

"Miss"

She lowered her head and walked quickly towards Miss Carina, who looked back and forth between Shade and her personal maid, with a strange smile on her face:

"Good evening, Shade. I took the time to come and see you. After all, you don't come to visit me often. What were you doing just now?"

Shade had done nothing wrong, so he was not afraid of her asking. He briefly explained the commission he was undertaking. Miss Carina thought for a while, then looked at her maid, and suddenly had an idea:

"In this case, let Tifa follow you as your assistant tomorrow to continue the investigation. Oh, don't refuse in a hurry."

This is what I said to the maid lady.

"Tifa, I keep asking you to take vacations, but you always refuse. Since you have become involved in the affairs of this detective who can never take a break, why not help him complete this commission and stay with him? Walk around the city. I think with your power, it should be no problem to protect him."

With that said, the witch winked at Shade, obviously telling Shade not to refuse.

"but"

The black-haired maid still wanted to refuse.

"Don't worry, I'm not angry with you, nor am I tired of you."

The duchess smiled and put her arms around her maid:

"But you really should rest. And being a detective's assistant, wouldn't it be a very interesting experience? Oh, if I could be a few years younger, I mean if I don't have so many things, then it wouldn't be your turn. Help Shade. Remember to tell me this story when you come back, I am very curious about the result."

"Miss Carina, if Miss Servit is unwilling, you"

The duchess smiled and looked up at Shade who was speaking. Shade immediately closed his mouth in a wise manner. Miss Servit shook her head slightly at Shade in a somewhat reserved manner, telling him not to say anything more.

She grasped the lace pattern on the front of her maid's skirt with both hands, raised her head, and her expression returned to its usual state:

"Okay, miss, I will do my best to help Mr. Hamilton."

"Okay, Shade, I'll ask Tifa to find you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Are you okay?"

The witch looked at Shade again. Although there was a smile on her face, the meaning of this expression was obviously a threat that Shade must not refuse.

"Of course, it's an honor."

"Very good, I recently read a very interesting detective novel in the "Steam Bird Daily". Speaking of which, the detective's last name is also Hamilton. So, Tifa, please go and experience the real work of a detective assistant for me. Bring me more stories when you come back from vacation."

She looked her maid up and down again:

"Remember to change your clothes tomorrow and don't interfere with Shade's work."

"Yes, miss."

The witch nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Shade:

"Lecia returned to Tobesk today, did you know?"

"of course I know."

"I thought you would run near Yodel Palace and wait to see her."

The witch teased, and then asked:

"Do you need me to help you arrange it so that she has time to see you? Although Lecia cannot leave Yodel Palace for the time being, I can let you find a way to get in."

"No, no, that's not necessary. This is a sensitive period for the royal family."

In fact, Shade has not forgotten that Lesia is somewhat hostile to Miss Carina.

Miss Carina doesn’t care either:

"Well, I'm going to have dinner with Marquise Xiura tonight to discuss the issue of shares in the New World Pioneer Team. I won't keep you here today. If there's anything else, just talk to Tifa directly."

After saying that, she turned and left. Shade shook his head at the black-haired maid, meaning that he had no need and just asked her to leave with Miss Carina. The maid obviously wanted to say something to Shade, but in the end he hesitated and did not speak. After bowing slightly to Shade and saying goodbye, she quickly chased in the direction of Miss Carina.

It is actually a good thing for Shade to have an extra six-ring warlock to help handle the commission.

Wednesday, the 21st day of the Flower Moon, early in the morning when Shade went downstairs to get the newspaper, he accidentally found a letter from Dorothy.

Due to the unexpected success of "Hamilton Detective Stories", the writer is currently busy negotiating with publishers and newspapers to collect and publish the published stories after the series has been serialized for a period of time. Therefore, she has not had time to visit Shard recently. See the detective notes here.

But she told Shade that Lesia would probably have time to leave Yodel Palace this weekend, so Shade had better spend the weekend. Lesia might knock on the door of Saint Teresa Square at any time.

Although he had met Her Royal Highness the Princess many times in Coldwater Port, Shade was still full of expectations for this.

Miss Servit appeared downstairs at Shade's house at eight o'clock on time. When Shade felt the pendant on his chest begin to heat up on the second floor, he immediately realized that she had arrived.
