Chapter 2087 The Great Witch’s Commission
The witch nodded:
"Yes, I don't want my hometown to have the same reputation as Tobesk."
The reaction of foreigners settled in Tobesk to this sentence is very complicated:
"So Miss Belindel, you want to investigate the matter about dragons and destruction?"
"I have been working on this work for two years since the summer of 1852, but the progress is not very great. What I can confirm now is that this prophecy is inseparable from the glorious Seven Families of Yuewan. Although We are not a traditional magician family, but our ancestors must have been exposed to supernatural factors related to dragons at the same time."
She sighed:
"So while I am starting my own investigation, I want outsiders who have nothing to do with this city to try to find clues from another angle. Sometimes it's not that I fail to find the key point, but the angle. The reason prevents me from seeing the truth. Besides, my maids are not suitable for investigating in places like Xiacheng District or brothels and casinos."
Xia De nodded to express his understanding:
"That's why you found me?"
"I still have doubts about your existence, but I also admit that you are very capable, even more capable than most of the girls under my command. Your performance was very good yesterday afternoon, your wisdom and strength were both Meets my requirements."
She added "still charming" in her heart, then sat up straight and looked at Shade:
"I promised Vanessa that I will no longer pester you in recent months, and I will not threaten you. You must cooperate with me. I will pay you, and I hope you can complete my tasks seriously. Mission. Yuewan is our city, even if it’s not for me, it’s for the people who live here.”
"I'm glad you think so, Count Belindel, it's such a pleasure to work with you."
Xia De said, standing up and reaching out to her. The witch also stood up and held his hand together. A closer look at the rouge-like birthmark between the eyebrows. Make that smiling face even more beautiful:
"This is a good start for our cooperation. From this point of view, you, a man, are not much different from my girls. Let's have a drink to celebrate. I pay great attention to the sense of ceremony."
As he said that, he called the maid outside the door to get the wine glass and red wine, but Shade was one step ahead and took out the wine bottle from his pocket:
"Please allow me to give you a gift. Do you want to try my wine? Miss Sylvia once gave this wine to Princess Margaret, and His Highness also praised it as a delicious wine."
The blonde witch showed an interested expression:
"But I noticed that what you took out was an empty wine bottle."
“Yes, I prefer fresh wine after all.”
Holding the bottom of the wine bottle, he pointed the mouth of the bottle at the decorative bunch of grapes in the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and the grapes turned into blood-colored liquid and was absorbed into the wine bottle. Then Shade put the cork on the wine bottle and shook the bottle a few times. Finally, he blew on the bottle, letting the ice mist spread to the bottle.
"That's it."
He handed the bottle to the maid who came to deliver the cup. She was also the one whose name was asked by Shade yesterday but could not give an answer. Only at this close contact did he fully confirm the other party's identity as a witch's apprentice. The blonde maid looked at Miss Belinder, and after receiving the latter's permission, she took the wine bottle and poured the coquettish blood-colored liquid inside into the goblet.
"She is Matilda, my head maid and apprentice, a very talented girl."
The witch took the goblet and resisted the idea of divination:
"A pleasure to work with."
After gently clinking the glasses, she slightly opened her pink lips and took a sip of the drink, then showed a rather surprised expression:
“This ordinary-tasting grape can actually ferment such a taste. If it is a grape specially used for making wine in the winery, wouldn’t it be more... I don’t remember Vanessa and Golden Dawn having wine-making skills. This is Magic from the vampire god?"
She asked suddenly, and Shade was very surprised. This was the first time someone had seen through the origin of this wine-making magic:
"Yes, this is a very complicated and tortuous story, and it is not convenient to disclose because it involves other people's privacy. But it is also because of that incident that I have a very good vampire friend. I and I have nothing to do with the vampire church, I just had some conflicts with one of them by the lake."
"Princess Margaret is right to praise this red wine. Mr. Watson, your gift is very good. In this case, I can't be stingy. Matilda, go to my collection room, Get the gift I prepared."
The maid left in a hurry and came back soon holding a square wooden box. Opening the box, there was a beautiful silver button inside the soft lining. This is an alchemical item, and it looks quite high-end:
"I am the great witch of fate. It is my unique ability to create amulets and ornaments that make people lucky. This button can bring you luck, Mr. Watson. Although this luck is not enough for you to gamble Win every game of Rhodes, but luckily, it costs nothing."
The witch introduced, and the maid also delivered the box to Shade.
"Thank you for your generosity, ma'am."
Shade sincerely expressed his gratitude. He knew how difficult it was to make such alchemical items, at least Luvia, who was at the seventh level, couldn't do it. This meeting gift is indeed generous.
The blonde Miss Belindel continued with a smile:
"This can only be regarded as a meeting gift, and it can also be regarded as a thank you for your cooperation and saving me yesterday afternoon.
Don’t worry about Hawthorne. No one will bother you about this matter again. Even if the church wants to investigate, I guarantee they won’t find any clues. Apart from me, the people who participated in the Dice Story Collection will not be able to find any clues. No memory of details. As for your subsequent actions in the Moon Bay area, if you encounter a similar situation again, you don't need to pay special attention to the Hawthorne family and the Eddington family. I am very sure that they do not have a ring warlock of their own family. ”
"But I heard that they have only started to come into contact with ring warlocks recently. If there is no ring warlock of their own within the family, how do they determine the authenticity of the prophecy?"
Xia De raised the question in his heart, and the witch gave the answer while holding the wine glass:
"This is a good question, but I can't give a definite answer. I can only say this: the origin of the seven glorious families of Yuewan is not just because of the victory of the power struggle. You may have heard some legends, our respective families There are also many strange rumors in it. Although all the seven families except me are ordinary people now, the power brought by the ancestors’ adventures still seems to be passed on from generation to generation.”
"The rumor I heard is that the ancestors of the seven families met a dragon in the Yuewan area in ancient times that gave them strength and wealth"
Xia De was surprised:
"Miss Belindel, are you Dragonborn?"
The witch was amused:
"Of course not. How can I still not be able to tell my own bloodline? Besides, there is a witch in the parliament who has a relic that can tell the bloodline. I have tested the blood of seven families including mine. We are not Dragonborn. But everyone has a strange feeling that something big is going to happen in Yuewan City."
This reminded Shade of the prophecy of family reunion that was made by Laplace Howard through the human body and rooted in the blood of future generations. But the content of that prophecy was extremely clear, and it was still very different from the situation provided by the great witch of fate.
"Belindel, Hawthorne, Eddington, Wood, Wright, Blake, Blue, the seven families should all have some stories and legends passed down by their ancestors. I will be responsible for requesting, borrowing and organizing these documents , and you, Mr. Watson, have your first mission."
Xia De put down his glass:
"Please speak."
"I want you to go to Xiacheng District to investigate a case. Early last week, an unknown female body was found in Xiacheng District with most of the blood missing. After the coroner's examination, the case was handed over to the church. Although there was no appearance after that Similar corpses, but according to my divination results, the matter itself is still somewhat strange."
Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"If you still remember the coroner who met me at the door of the police station in [Dice Stories], he was actually the one who examined the corpse."
"I have not investigated your background, let alone your friends. This is my respect for Vanessa. But this is better. Go and investigate this matter. Whether it is a vampire or something else, investigate Come out with the truth and bring the results back to me."
She seemed to be worried that Shade wouldn’t understand, so she even explained a few words:
"Since there are no clues about the prophecy of the city and the dragon, it is better to start with the small things that happened in the city. After all, disasters often originate from places that are not easy to detect. Not long ago, during the Battle of Green Lake, the Speaker and I teamed up to predict the future. Small things that didn't matter were made into a task list for the witches involved in the operation, which later proved to be very effective."
Xia De very much agreed with her approach. From the beginning, he also wanted to start with small things and find out the situation in the Yuewan area:
"So do you have any other clues here? Or should I start the investigation from scratch?"
"Since you know the coroner, you can probably get a lot of clues from him. In addition, I have the contact information of the local vampires. You can visit me. Matilda, bring the document bag."
The blonde maid went to the bookshelf to get something again, but Shade didn’t really need the local vampire’s contact information:
"What is your divination result for this case?"
"Swarms of flies symbolize troublesome things. If it predicts the future, it may also mean that it is futile, so I did not investigate it personally. But I am very sure that the scope of influence of this matter is limited to the Yuewan area. You During the investigation, if you encounter trouble that you cannot solve yourself, such as a high-level warlock, you can come to me for help at any time. The 'Queen' divination card I gave you is your identity certificate for contacting me in the future. Followers will also help you when they see that card."
