The Whispering Verses Chapter 509: Hermons the Bloodweeper


The strange man spoke not loudly, but very clearly, and it was obviously not a local accent:

"Madam, is this person staying at your hotel?"

He first took out a banknote, and then took out a photo and showed it to Mrs. Sangmei. Because of the angle, Shade couldn't see what the photo looked like.

Shad put his arms on the counter, sat on the round stool in front of the counter and looked at Luvia. While the latter raised her eyebrows, he signaled her not to speak, and then continued the topic just now, complaining to Luvia. Miss Mary, the technical worker, was not telling the truth.

"Where did this high-level warlock come from? Has the church already found this place? Then should I leave."

This is the voice in my heart.

The opponent is at least a twelve-level warlock, and most likely a thirteen-level warlock.

"Thirteen rings?"

Xia De was even more surprised, but the expression on his face did not change:

"The current Thirteen Rings of the Righteous God Church in Tobesk are the Sun Church's 'Sunshine Great Sword' and the Creation Church's 'Iron Right Hand', but this one is obviously not the case. The Church will not arbitrarily transfer Thirteen Ring Warlocks across Parish dispatch, and even if there are clues about Darkness, according to the church's rules of action for ring warlocks that I learned from Iluna, the thirteen-ring warlock will not be allowed to set off directly. Therefore, this stranger is not the thirteenth ring warlock from the Orthodox Church. Ring."

Thinking about it, the female shopkeeper over there frowned and looked at the photo, then shook her head decisively:

"I know our guests very well. No one who looks like this has stayed at my hotel for at least three months."

Shad continued to chat with Luvia. Luvia probably realized that the man talking to the shop owner was a little unusual, so she responded to Shad's words enthusiastically.

"So, who are the guests who have stayed at the hotel in the past three days?"

The man in the dark red coat asked kindly. Shade realized that his accent was somewhat like the accent of the southern mountains of Delrayon. He and Captain Rades had heard something similar when they visited the Veterans Club. accent.

"Guest, I can't tell you this casually."

Mrs. Sangmei shook her head:

"It doesn't matter how much money you have. If I say this, no one will dare to stay here in the future."

"Yes, that makes sense."

The man nodded, then coughed violently.

He hurriedly took out a white handkerchief from the breast pocket of his coat and put it in front of his mouth. He coughed a few times and put the handkerchief away again. From the corner of his eye, Xia De seemed to see blood on the white handkerchief:

"Thirteenth-level warlocks can still get sick? I remember that middle-level warlocks are immune to most common diseases, and high-level warlocks will never get sick."

"Well, why not, take a look at this."

The stranger in the dark red coat took out an ID card from his pocket. After Mrs. Sangmei took a look at it, her eyes suddenly widened:

"Okay, I understand."

She bent down and took out the account book from the counter, turned a few pages and pushed it to the person outside the counter:

"Everyone who has stayed in the hotel for the past three days has been here."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

The man said with a smile, looking even weaker because he seemed to have coughed up blood just now.

He lowered his head and looked at the account book carefully. The business of the Three Cats Hotel was quite good, so it took him a while to finish reading:

"Okay, thank you again for your help."

Close the account book and push it to Mrs. Sang Mei, pick up the hat and put it on his head, then nodded politely to Shade beside him, and then the man turned and walked towards the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.

When the other party disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Shade stopped talking to Luvia about the entrusted task, moved his seat, and sat back in front of Mrs. Sangmei:

"Who was that person just now? You actually handed him all the ledgers?"

He asked in a frivolous tone, trying to sound like he was just curious.

"I can't say this."

The female shopkeeper shook her head, but her expression was a little confused.

"Wait, Shade, she's not in the right state."

Seeing this, Luvia suddenly reached out and touched the other person's forehead. Mrs. Sangmei's movements slowly stopped, and then she slowly lay on the counter, as if she was asleep.

"Her consciousness was influenced by others just now. The documents she thought she saw may not be the real documents."

Luvia said with a serious face:

"We were right next to us, but we didn't feel any trace of the elements. The man just now was definitely very strong."

"Thirteen rings."

Xia De said, pulling the account book held by Mrs. Sangmei, quickly turning to the last page, and then moving forward to check the contents.

"What? Ten"

"Keep your voice down."

Xia De immediately reminded him, took out the notebook he carried with him, and copied the contents of the account book:

"Did you see the man coughing up blood just now? This is really strange. Could it be that he was seriously injured? It seems that it is not easy for a thirteen-ring warlock to come out to work after being injured like this."

"Thirteen rings, thirsty for blood?"

Luvia lowered her voice and turned to look at the stairs in disbelief:

"Oh? Could it be him? But how dare he return to the Old World since thirty years ago"

"Thirty years ago, he was thirsty for blood and was suspected of looking for Darkness to weep for blood?"

Shad stopped writing and suddenly looked up at Luvia:

"I heard from the witch a few days ago that the Blood Spirit School seems to have sent high-level warlocks from the New World to hunt down the traitor Darkness."

"Yes, I think so."

The purple-eyed fortune teller looked solemn:

"The 78-year-old Thirteenth Ring Warlock 'Bloodweeper' Hermons of the Blood Spirit School is the actual controller of the school. Thirty years ago, for his Thirteenth Ring Promotion Ceremony, he conspired with criminals to obtain The baby's blood caused a major crime that affected half of the kingdom, but he was ambushed by the Zhengshen Church when he was promoted and was seriously injured. Therefore, he led the Blood Spirit School to move to the New World and never dared to set foot in the Old World again for thirty years. "

"How dare he come back for the sake of the second chosen one?"

As he spoke, Shade started writing again and transcribed the information. After transcribing, he stuffed the notebook back into his pocket and put the account book back into Mrs. Sangmei's hand.

He nodded to Luvia, and Luvia nodded Mrs. Sangmei's head again.

The latter murmured loudly in his sleep, and then slowly woke up:

"Why did I fall asleep? It seems that I haven't had a good rest these past few days."

The confused female shopkeeper still failed to regain her usual shrewdness immediately, and Shade didn’t say anything more to her. After ordering drinks and food again, he and Luvia returned to the place where the poetess played the lute. Sit down at the nearby table.

It was already noon, and Shade and Luvia had lunch here. A powerful thirteen-ring warlock appeared in the Three Cats Hotel, and neither of them dared to take any rash action.

So I just came here to relax and talk about the interesting places in Xiacheng District while eating.

Luvia even knew that there was a relic trading place similar to Old John's Pawn Shop in a nearby alley, but the security there was completely inferior to that of the **** shop.

The time came to 11:15 in the morning. Xia De was sharing with Luvia his experience of helping the client find a cat on Tuesday. The short and thin man in a dark red coat was accompanied by a tall, A man Shade had never seen before came down from upstairs.

The two went to the counter first. Judging from the action of handing over the keys, they should have checked out of the hotel room, and then left the Three Cats Hotel together.

Shad didn't get up immediately, and waited for five minutes before signaling to Luvia that it was okay.

He disturbed Mrs. Sangmei again, and then asked for an empty room on the fifth floor.

After climbing up the stairs with Luvia and entering the room with the number 7, Shade took out his notebook from his pocket:

"Darkness and the Bloodweeper must have left. Luvia, try to divine which of these rooms is where Darkness once lived."

Shad pointed out the room numbers he had recorded. These rooms were the most likely ones. After the effect of Echo of Blood ended, their search became a lot more troublesome.

The female fortune teller frowned and looked twice:

"Choose one of the four? Because it involves a 13th-level warlock, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the divination."

"It doesn't matter. There are two fifth floors and two fourth floors. You can divine as much as you can. I will confirm at the crack of the door whether the cleaning servant will pass by here immediately."

So Luvia borrowed Rhodes cards from Shade. She spread the entire deck of 54 cards evenly on the bed, and then tried to turn over three of them. After thinking for a while, he turned over three cards again until all the cards were turned over.

During this period, Shade indeed observed the fat maid of the hotel through the crack in the door, pushing a small trolley welded from discarded gas pipes, humming a tune played by the female poet downstairs, and walked out of the room door. go through. There are buckets, rags, brooms, and mops on the cart, and the metal wheels make a loud sound when they grind against the wooden floor.

Ten minutes later, the fat maid passed by the door again and walked towards the broom room at the head of the stairs. After the door of the broom room was opened and then closed, her footsteps disappeared at the head of the stairs:

"Now that I'm cleaning up the room, it seems that it is indeed a room on the fifth floor. Now I have to choose one of the two."

Shad at the door carefully judged that Luvia was standing by the bed collecting cards:

"If it is indeed the fifth floor, then I think it is the farthest room on the fifth floor, Room 1."

"Okay, let's go to Room 1 to check the situation."

Shad nodded, opened the door and looked around. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he took Luvia out of the room. After unlocking Room 1, the two quickly walked in and locked the door.

"Detective, I'm glad you didn't become a professional thief, otherwise no one would have been able to stop you. The thaumaturgy the old **** gave you is really useful."

While Luvia was teasing, she also did not forget to throw the Silence Spell at the door.

Xia De shook his head and did not make any further comments. Instead, he cautiously opened the curtains and looked behind him, then opened the closet and looked inside. Finally, he lay down and looked under the wooden bed covered with white sheets.
