The Whispering Verses Chapter 250: Strong uneasiness


"Shad, oh, I also want to ask why you are here. I read the newspaper and congratulated you. The knighthood is really powerful. I thought it was just a medal."

The doctor and Shade stood at the corridor window looking outside, somewhat curious about Shade's attitude at this time. He straightened the cuffs of his black formal suit that were wrinkled by Shade's hand, and said loudly:

"As for why I'm here, remember Count Abrash's family? One of my most important patients recently."

Xia De frowned suspiciously:

"The one with bulimia?"

The doctor nodded proudly:

"Yes, the illness of the count's wife and daughter has improved a lot after my psychological counseling and the medication of their personal doctor. The count's family is attending the banquet tonight, so they also specially invited me Participate as a thank you."

"This is the first time I have heard that someone used an invitation to a banquet as a thank you. This is a charity banquet for donating money. The count used this to thank you?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and the doctor smiled awkwardly. He still wanted to explain, but seeing Shade's suspicious look on his face, he gave up lying after thinking about it. He scratched his nose and lowered his voice:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but I still hope not to involve you. After all, this matter is too dangerous. Why else would I be here? I wasn't invited, I took the initiative to take advantage of the cure. The countess gave me an invitation, the purpose of which was a plaster statue."

"What plaster statue? Huh? Plaster statue?"

Xia De suddenly heard more things. He turned around and looked behind him, getting closer to the doctor:

"You mean, those five..."

"Yes, it's one of them."

Last week, the doctor finally identified the final hiding place of the [Counterfeit Philosopher's Stone] through repeated dreams. The precious liquid [relic] was poured into the red glass in a special way, faked into the eyes of the plaster statue, and hidden on one of the five statues.

"Is one of them here?"

"Yes, Count Maupassant is not the only one who raises money for the university. Of today's auction items, only one-third was provided by the Maupassant family, and the remaining two-thirds were donated by others. One of the statues was donated. The statue itself is a handicraft, well-made and decorated with gems and precious metals. The starting price is 60 pounds."

The doctor explained and lowered his voice:

"This has nothing to do with you, so I didn't want to tell you just now."

"But this party..."

Shad was wary and did not directly say that the banquet was a ceremony for the coming of the evil god. Miss Carina had repeatedly warned that any kind of magician and relic might appear at the banquet tonight. Therefore, after entering the house, any situation You must never mention the coming of the evil god.

"That's great, but I have something urgent that I need your help with."

Xia De clarified his thoughts, tried to keep his voice as low as possible, and spoke quickly:

"Do you remember the client you introduced to me last time? There was something wrong with the client. I need his psychological diagnosis materials. The guy was mentally abnormal and actually said he saw a mermaid in the sewer. I originally thought I'm going to look for you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you here. If it's convenient, doctor, can you go back and bring me his information now? Don't worry."

He reread "Don't worry":

"Just take your time and get it."

As he spoke, he blinked quickly at the doctor and shook his head. Dr. Schneider's luck may be really bad, and he can actually run into this kind of thing, but Shade can't let him stay here.

The doctor was stunned by Sha De's words:

"Huh? Oh, that information."

His eyes widened, and then he made an expression of realization:

"I knew that commission was not easy, and you did encounter a problem. It doesn't matter, I'll get it right now... Why don't we go to the clinic to get it together, and I can introduce you to that gentleman? things."

The doctor and Shade looked at each other and said, the eyes in their blue eyes shaking constantly. He understood that there was danger here and wanted to leave with Shade

Dan Shade shook his head:

"I still have some things to do here. I'll go to the clinic to see you later. The things have been done and I'm still waiting for the carriage."

"Waiting for the carriage...are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

The doctor asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving soon."

Xia De said, the doctor opened his mouth:

"Then...Okay, I'll go back and sort out the information you want. Shade..."

"What?"

"If you need my help, just ask."

"Don't worry, it's done. I'm just here to help people attend the auction."

The doctor pursed his lips, said nothing more, waved to Shade, and then walked alone along the corridor toward the foyer on the first floor.

Although this doctor may have been really unlucky, at least this time, he escaped the bad luck that was about to happen here.

The church will not let Priest August appear here. Miss Anat is waiting for Shade in the distance. When the doctor leaves, Shade will leave immediately. In the morning, he went to see Miss Louisa to get back the piece of [Youth and Immortality] Ye] (Note) also made sure that she would not go out at home tonight.

So, the five people in the group who were unlucky in the first blood feast really have nothing to do with the evil god's second blood feast.

The maid's handling of Evante's matter was slower than Shade expected. The meeting time he agreed with Miss Anat and Miss Bayas was half past eight, but when Shade received the signal to leave the mansion, it was already ten past eight.

I left here in a carriage with the maid, and I was relieved when I could no longer see the mansion in the night from the car window. The rain had completely stopped by this time, but the damp smell in the air mixed with the renewed fog, making the city smell a little worse.

Shad's pen, the old storybook, and the remaining gold pounds were given to the maid Tifa for safekeeping. The maid returned Shad's [relics], coat and ruby ​​ring to him, and smiled at him Showing off the white pebble ring:

"The plan went smoothly. Although it took some time, all the traces have been cleaned up."

[Metamorphosis Ring] lay quietly in the palm of the maid. This was the first relic that Shade had seen in this world, and it appeared in front of him again.

"Miss Carina's matter is over, now it's my own matter."

He waved his hand with a serious look on his face, but he made no intention of twisting the ring to check.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves?N?N, the black-haired maid asked curiously:

"Mr. Hamilton, don't you want to borrow this ring? You should know its function, which is equivalent to an extra life."

"Just give it to Miss Carina directly, I won't touch it."

Xia De shook his head, [Transformation Ring] is powerful but also has the effect of distorting the mind. He has divinity with him and has the time to use the ring, so it is better to use divinity directly. After all, he won't run away no matter what he says tonight. He must get the gift for himself in the [God's Gift Box].

"Then I wish you in advance that your actions will go smoothly."

The maid showed regret, then carefully put the ring into a metal box, and solemnly put the metal box into the pocket of her cumbersome dress. She put her legs together, folded her hands on her knees, and then whispered:

"Although the lady cannot directly help you deal with the silver-eyed person, if you need to deal with the aftermath, you can always mention it to the lady."

Xia De looked at her unexpectedly, not expecting the maid to take the initiative to tell him this. The black-haired maid showed a peaceful expression:

"You deserve my help."

Xia De smiled:

"I've been fully prepared. I don't think there will be any problems. But if I really need help, I will ask for it. I just hope that Miss Carina will not let me appear in such a dangerous situation next time. ”

His hand was playing with the unused time key in his pocket:

"I've even made more than one contingency plan for the worst-case scenario. Tonight, that's not what I'm worried about."

Xia De looked out the window:

"What I'm worried about is the divine descending ceremony."

"We must believe in the Orthodox Church."

When someone from the Witch Council said this, it sounded really funny.

"I just met Mr. Hogg Rendell, the thirteen-ring warlock, on the first floor. The church is probably worried about an accident, but I always have a strange uneasy feeling. No, it's not about what I'm going to do. Doing things uneasy."

He has no reason to be uneasy about the ruins. With a drop of divinity in hand, the silver-eyed person is actually considered dead.

"I'm worried that something else will happen tonight."

"Intuition? I understand."

The maid lady nodded to Shade and looked at him with her brown eyes:

"I will inform the lady of your intuition in a moment. If possible, I will persuade her to pay attention to what happens in the mansion tonight."

"That's really troublesome for you."

Xia De said embarrassedly, after all, it was just a feeling and there was no evidence.

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."

She smiled slightly shyly.

If he didn't know the other party's power, it would be difficult for Shade to connect this elegant and chic young maid with the ring warlock.

It would have been a bit stupid not to take Shad directly to the entrance of Knock Printing House where the entrance to the ruins is. The place where Shade and the two ladies met was at the White Swan Hotel, which was a street away from the printing factory.

Miss Anat rented a room here in advance and conducted surveys and divination on Knock Printing Factory nearby a few days ago.

When exchanging information at Shade's house yesterday, she had already explained the general method of entering the printing house and the ruins. And when Shade saw them in the way of three strong and two weak knocking on the door, Miss Anat gained something new:

"Come here, Shade."

Out the window was the thick night after the rain. Almost all the gas lights in the room were turned on, and there were even a few candles stuck on the ground.

The three of them stood in front of the bed together. The sheets and quilts were put aside. The bed board was covered with dense notes, documents and notebook pages. Miss Anat picked up one of them and handed it to Shade. On it was a circular emblem drawn with a pencil.
