The Whispering Verses Chapter 627: Meet Captain Rades again

Chapter 627 Meeting Captain Rades Again

It happened to be time for lunch, and Granny Cassandra invited Shade to have dinner with her, wanting to talk to him about Miss Carina. Shade happened to be looking for a place to eat, so he agreed.

The two did not eat inside the auction house, but at Wood's Restaurant on Oak Street. This is a high-end restaurant located in the city center. As a wealthy businessman, Granny Cassandra naturally received warm hospitality.

The specialty of Wood Restaurant is that all the tableware here, except for cutlery and forks, are all made of wood. Of course, if the customer requests, it can also be replaced with metal tableware or porcelain tableware.

As the oldest existing witch in the Witch Council, Granny Cassandra knows many things. It was also from her that Shade learned that Miss Carina's teacher was actually a member of the royal family, but he was not directly related to the Cavendish family. Based on the blood relationship at that time, the succession ranking might be After fifteen. . .

Of course, this does not mean that the Cavendish family has become a ring magician family like the Aurora family. Before Miss Carina and her cousin, there were no royal members in the witch's seat.

Grandma Cassandra was very talkative, and even mentioned to Shad an interesting story about Miss Carina when she was a child, the kind of interesting story that Shad would probably be thrown out of the Witch Manor if he dared to bring it up.

And not only that, she even talked to Shade about Sister Devlin of the [Spiritual Order]. Xina Cassandra, who is over a hundred years old, has known the Spiritual Order since she was young and has witnessed the change of the three chief nuns of the Order. Even the current leader, Sister Devlin, was discovered to be a gifted person by Granny Cassandra.

"Devlin is really talented, especially her eyes that can see through death. This is a very rare talent."

The old witch made this comment, with a platter of vegetable salad in front of her.

"Then why didn't you choose her as your successor?"

Xia De asked curiously. The old man across the table shook his head:

"I have consulted my teacher's opinion, and she believes that Devlin is more suitable for the spiritual order than the power of the witch. The order she leads can exert more power for the world. From the current Judging from the situation, the teacher is worthy of being a teacher.”

When Mother-in-law Cassandra inherited the seat, the previous generation of great witches unfortunately died young, so her teacher was another ring sorcerer. Shade heard this from both Sister Devlin and Miss Carina.

"Then your teacher is."

Now that the other party mentioned this news, Xia De took the opportunity to ask curiously.

"Oh, I can't say the teacher's name casually. However, the teacher happens to be at Fort Midhill and is preparing for a ceremony that takes place every twenty-two years. I can introduce you to him during the ceremony."

Grandma Cassandra said with a smile, Shade nodded and did not ask any further questions. However, based on the information currently known, Shade strongly doubted that the teacher of the old man in front of him was a 12th or even 13th ring warlock.

After all, she is older than Granny Cassandra.

"Oh, speaking of which, in Fort Midhill, are there any ring warlocks who are extremely good at the power of death? They don't have to be very strong, but they must be good at it. I need help from this ring warlock for some things."

While eating, Shade casually asked, and the witch who had already heard about the third chosen person naturally gave the answer:

"Carina asked you to help me? No, young man, no need, I will investigate this matter myself. I know you are very capable, but don't meddle in matters related to "The Whispering Psalms" easily. ”

"I understand."

Xia De didn’t ask any more questions to avoid arousing the witch’s suspicion. In his mind, he was thinking that Sister Devlin also knew about the "Mumbling Psalms", so he couldn't ask the spiritual cult for help.

After lunch, Shade said goodbye to Granny Cassandra and went to Fort Midhill Mechanical College.

It's interesting to say that after the real "Midhill Fort" in the old days, which was the castle camp used for defense, was abandoned, it was not demolished, but became the later established Midhill Fort. Residency of the School of Mechanical Engineering.

The castle is located at the foot of the Sikal Mountain, and its main body is in the shape of the Chinese character "Hui", which means the hometown of foreigners.

The entire college, in addition to the castle itself and the large open space in the center of the castle, also includes the parts separated by independent outer walls, as well as other teaching buildings later built next to the castle.

Compared with the St. Byrons Comprehensive College (Note), which Shade already knew was larger than a city, the old-era brick and stone castle that he saw after getting off the carriage even had a spire was in line with his understanding of "magic spells". School” imagination.

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary local institution of higher learning, and no one will fly on a broomstick here.

Unlike the university district of Tobesk, which is composed of several well-known schools in the kingdom, Fort Midhill has only two well-known schools. Among them, the older Fort Midhill Mechanical College is directly connected to the steam factory area at the foot of the mountain, which can be regarded as the integration of industry, education and research.

Near the castle, you can see countless towering chimneys spraying black smoke. At the same time, you can also see horse-drawn carriages passing by in a hurry on the streets, and merchants walking around frequently. Compared to the city center, this neighborhood looks more lively.

The weather was still gloomy. It was even drizzling when Shade got on the carriage, but it stopped when he got off the carriage. Shade has never been here, so if he wants to find Professor John Dunn, he must ask someone.

While he was looking around, a figure hurriedly walking towards him from his left immediately caught his eye.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The man wearing the uniform of the Royal Army was clearly Captain Rades, the "Eight-Gun Captain" whom he had not seen for more than half a month. And although Shad was now wearing eyeshadow given by the witch and was wearing clothes he had never worn in Tobesk City, Captain Rades still recognized him:

"Mr. Hamilton?"

Of course, this sturdy officer was not sure that what he saw was Shad Hamilton. Tobesk is too far away from Fort Midhill, and because of the influence of eye shadow, Shade does look different from before.

Xia De thought about many things for a moment, but finally nodded:

"It's me."

Since he has been recognized, there is nothing wrong with pretending to be here on a business trip. As long as he does not appear in the newspapers for anything in Tobesk in the past two weeks, he will not be exposed.

So he motioned to Captain Rades to talk to him in a remote location under the willow tree by the wall. Captain Rades saw Shad at Fort Midhill and seemed very excited:

"Oh, detective, why are you at Fort Midhill? I almost didn't recognize you just now."

He shook hands with Sha De enthusiastically and really regarded Sha De as a friend.

"Because of a troublesome commission."

The detective Mr. Tobesk pretended to be very troubled:

"I just arrived here a few days ago. Tobesk's client asked me to come here to investigate a matter related to an illegitimate child. The client's identity is very sensitive, so I cannot reveal my purpose. , I will leave after the investigation is completed. Captain, my pseudonym is John Watson, so please call me by this name."

"John Watson? Oh, I remember."

The captain nodded, quite understanding of the reason given by Shade:

"Illegitimate children are really troublesome. Is it a big noble? Oh, I shouldn't ask. But Mr. Watson, you can refuse this commission. After all, it takes a week to get here from Tobesk by train. At that time, the other party was very powerful?"

Captain Rades thought he had found the answer and couldn't help but frowned:

"Did they threaten you?"

"No, no, I know Duchess Carina, who dares to threaten me? It's because the other party gave me too much."

Shade twirled his fingers. Now, Captain Rades understood Shade better. The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile:

"So what are you doing now? Do you need my help? I'm familiar with this city."

"In order to investigate the illegitimate child, I established a relationship with a local wealthy businessman through the network. But the wealthy businessman asked me to help find a lost antique before he would help me. Captain, you know the folklore of the college Professors, where are they usually?"

PS: What the doctor mentioned in Chapter 573, in order to prevent forgetting, here is a reminder, it is not a setting that appeared out of thin air.
