The Whispering Verses Chapter 636: Thanks


Chapter 636 Thanks

Twenty minutes later, Shade and Dorothy had returned to No. 6 St. Teresa Square again. The sky at this time was gloomier than when Shade got up in the morning. Even in the morning, the gas light was still on at home, and the room still seemed groggy.

Shadow sat alone on the sofa holding Mia, while Dorothy, who had been soaked by the rain just now, went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Playing with the half of the red butterfly pendant in his hand, Xia De never expected that it was just a sudden attempt, but it actually succeeded.

Of course, it cannot be considered a complete success. Because now Dorothy and Lesia can only look at each other from a distance for a short time, but they still cannot look at each other for a long time, let alone get close.

But the point of "being able to look at each other from a distance" has been greatly improved compared to the previous situation where no contact was possible, which means that Shade's method is effective.

"Am I so lucky? I just casually asked Professor Dunn at Fort Midhill, and then found Professor Manning, and Father John happened to find the right idea. In this way, everything All thanks to Grandma Cassandra.”

The sound of the carriage rolling over the waterlogged road was particularly noticeable on a rainy day here. Although Saint Teresa Square is not as lively as before, there is still no shortage of pedestrians.

Dorothy's emotional ups and downs just now were very big. It should be the first time that she and Lesia, two girls who can exchange souls and know each other's secrets, looked directly at each other. At this time, she went to the bathroom to take a shower, not only because she got wet from the rain, but also because she didn't want Shade to see her gaffe.

Shad actually understood her emotions at that time, so he also understood her unwillingness to go home immediately with him. Instead, she stared at the opposite side of Yodel Palace for a long time, until the pain in her soul forced her to close her eyes.

【Do you think you know what girls are thinking very well? 】

While I was thinking, a voice suddenly came from my ears.

"Well, maybe. However, if you go to Old John to make better alchemy items, they might be more effective. Didn't he say that the one I'm holding in my hand is just made with scraps? No material fee will be charged.”

While Dorothy was taking a bath in the bathroom, Shade carried the cat to the study, and under the gas lamp, wrote down all the information he had obtained at Fort Midhill about the Twin Gods and Twin Faith. Come down. Although I have already recited it to Dorothy, it is better to write it down and give it to Lesia so that she can use her influence to investigate.

After all, compared to the power of Her Royal Highness, the detective at Saint Teresa Square is really weak and pitiful.

When Shade returned to the living room, looking at the document in his hand and wondering if he had missed any details, the bathroom door was finally opened.

The blonde girl wiped her fluffy blond hair with the new towel that Shade took out. She was wearing the white shirt that Shade washed for her last time but did not take back (Chapter 443):

"Shad, do you really not have other women's clothes at home?"

She seems to have returned to normal.

"Except for a garter belt and a pair of red high heels (Chapter 486), you can only wear your clothes for the time being."

Fortunately, it rained today, so Dorothy wore an extra coat and went out. Now only the coat was wet, so she actually still had something to wear.

"Meow~"

Dorothy sat on the small sofa on the side. The cat lying on Shade's lap glanced at her and then barked lazily.

"Wait!"

Xia De immediately put down the document in his hand and sat up straight, becoming alert:

"Are you Lesia?"

The blonde girl raised a smile and glanced at Shade's cat:

"It's me, your cat is amazing. So far, he is the only one who can accurately tell us apart."

As he spoke, he touched his right earlobe.

"Good morning, why are you here?"

Xia De asked, handing her the handwritten document in his hand. Lesia took it, glanced at it, and put it on the coffee table:

"Of course it's to thank you."

"Oh, stop joking! Such a trivial thing"

"This is no small matter."

The blonde girl with still wet hair looked at Shade. From the eyes of Dorothy's body, Shade felt that he really saw Lesia's soul.

"Really, thank you very much. I had imagined that one day Dorothy and I would be able to get closer, but I really didn't expect this day to happen so quickly."

Her Royal Highness the Princess said softly. Although she looked calmer than Dorothy just now, it was obvious that this calmness was just a disguise used to cover up her own mood.

"When you can touch each other, it will not be too late to thank me."

Xia De said, looking away and reaching out to pour tea for Lesia. A smile appeared on Lecia's lips, and she shook her head slightly:

"We are really lucky to meet you."

"Then go and thank the doctor. It was the doctor who met me."

Xia De hummed and put the cat on the sofa that seemed to be asleep again. The cat squirmed and curled up as if it was afraid of catching a cold:

"As for the red butterfly pendant, you can go find Old John yourself. I only know so much about it. Maybe Father John can make a better red butterfly. Remember to tell me when he succeeds."

He pointed to the information on the coffee table:

"In addition, the matter about Lieutenant Shorten that you asked me to investigate is already clear. He has indeed had a lot of expenses recently, and even smoked cigars, but the public opinion is that he was in the city with people. Won a lot of money playing cards."

The gentle expression on Lesia's face disappeared, her face turned cold, and she snorted:

"That's true. It seems that I suffered a shameless betrayal."

"Do you need me to go?"

Shad made a gesture of wiping his neck. Lesia was amused by him and shook her head slightly:

"It's not that serious, it's just someone reselling my goods. Those little mice don't cause much harm, but I have to let them know what the price is. In fact, I have some small businesses of my own. In the warehouse at Fort Midhill, there is a shipment ready to be shipped to Carson Creek next month."

Shad nodded to express his understanding. It is impossible for the princesses and princes of Delarion not to use their power to earn gold pounds for themselves.

"Do me one more favor. Go to Fort Midhill to take inventory of the warehouse. You don't need to be too detailed, just count the number of boxes. You can ensure that there are no other tricks. I want to give you a warning. Check them out. ”

Lesia's local power can do this kind of thing, but Shade can do it faster.

"No problem, I was planning to go to Fort Midhill in the afternoon. Where is the address? Should I sneak in quietly, or what identity should I use to contact your people?"

Shad asked, to him it was just a matter of walking a few more steps.

"Sneak in quietly. This time, I must let them know the price of betraying me."

The corners of her mouth twitched up, and a cold expression appeared on her face that Dorothy had never shown. Seeing Shade looking at her in surprise, she smiled again:

"What's wrong?"

She really knows how to control her expressions.

"Oh, nothing, where is the address?"

"No. 19, Punjab Street, right in the city center. Go there next Tuesday, the first day of the Moon of Dead Leaves. It's a holiday. After the goods are put into stock in the morning, there will be almost no one in the warehouse."

"Okay, no problem."

Shad nodded, then hesitated for a moment. He had also heard of the warehouse on Punjab Street from another place.

The information conveyed by the gray eagle to Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Set was, [On the last day of this month, your goods are in the warehouse with a red door plate on Punjab Street in Fort Midhill City]. As for the warehouse with the red door number, Shade specifically confirmed that it was No. 18 Punjab Street, which was only separated by a wall from Lesia's warehouse.

"What a coincidence."

"Shad, how can I thank you? I remember Dorothy said that you seem to have had a lot of expenses recently, so you are short of gold pounds?"

Lecia asked tentatively.

"No, no, no, don't give me gold pounds."

Shad did this to prevent himself from becoming a freeloader. He did not think that helping Lecia was a valuable thing:

"If you are willing, I would also like to see the original communication diary between you and Dorothy. I have always been interested in that."

"Oh, this won't work."

Lecia shook her head slightly, with a firm attitude:

"This is not suitable for you to see. I don't think so. How about I help you prepare some autumn clothes. I noticed that your wardrobe is full of old clothes. You can't wear these when you go out."

Lecia's definition of "old clothes" is probably different from Shad's. The autumn clothes in Shad's wardrobe were all prepared for Detective Sparrow before he died, and they were bought at a reduced price this spring. new clothes.

"Okay."

If it was just some clothes, Shade wouldn't mind.

"Also, have you ever kissed a blonde girl who just took a shower?"

Lecia asked again.

"Of course not."

So Lesia, whose hair was still wet, sat next to Shade, wearing only the thin women's shirt, and hugged Shade.

Maybe Agelina is right, Lesia does like kissing.

"Meow~"

Mia, who was coiled up in a ball, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two of them suspiciously. After calling out, she patted Shade with her little paw.

"Huh?"

Xia De pushed the girl in front of him away and shouted with surprise:

"Dorothy!?"

The pair of green eyes looked at him from a close distance, quite reproachfully:

"Really, next time you must get rid of your cat first, and then try to see if you can tell us apart."

"That's not mine"

"Shut up, Shade."

The female writer said, wiping her lips with her fingers, she looked at the man in front of her tenderly:

"Lecia said that she wanted to thank you personally, so I agreed to exchange with her. I didn't expect that she would actually thank you like this."

Her eyes were a little shy, but she still boldly gave Shade a brief kiss:

"That was hers just now, and this is my thank you gift."

Her face was slightly red, and she bit her lower lip carefully. She is still not as bold as Lesia, and this may be the only difference between the two.

PS: This is the last chapter before the Chinese New Year. Thank you all for your continued support of Xianyu. I hope you can continue to support "Mutter Poems" in the new year.
