Chapter 2432 Night Interlude
The young black-haired witch looked at her student:
"The princess of the Northern Kingdom can even give up her own sister, but you are still being reserved. You are not really going to wait until Shade goes to Willendel City, are you? After so long, you still think he won't make a promise to you?"
"Teacher, I am a witch apprentice and must remain pure."
Her messy blonde hair hung casually behind Margaret, but Miss Sylvia joked:
"So what is the truth?"
Margaret tilted her neck slightly:
"I'm waiting for him to speak first. If he takes the initiative, I will... I'm the princess of the United Kingdom of Carsenrick. Since I said I would wait until Willendel, I can't break my promise. Otherwise, wouldn't I become that impatient girl?"
Miss Sylvia shook her head and looked at her students:
"Love and war are irrational, Karina always says that."
So Her Royal Highness summoned up her courage and asked:
"So, teacher, what about you?"
"My dear Margaret, there is still a difference between a witch and a witch's apprentice."
Emma Sylvia, who thought she was walking very fast, said this. Although she guessed that something had happened between Carina and Shad, she still didn't think she had lost much.
On the other side, after leaving Margaret Manor, Shad did not return to the ship directly, but went to Spider Alley again.
This time, by coincidence, although Mr. Albert was not in the autopsy room, with the help of his colleagues, Shad found him talking to Bernhardt in the Spider Hotel.
When they saw Shade, they both extended their hands to greet him. Shade then sat down at the table, and when the innkeeper in his apron left, Shade glanced at Mr. Albert in his smock, and then said to Mr. Bernhardt:
"Something big is going to happen."
"Well aren't big things happening all the time?"
The vampire seed lord was puzzled, and Shade raised his eyebrows:
"The real big event will probably be something like the one in Middlesbrough last fall."
Mr. Bernhardt was startled, and then almost jumped up from the table:
"Are you sure? No, you're not one to joke. So when was it?"
Mr. Albert was also listening carefully. Chad did not hide anything:
"The church will probably find traces of the ritual soon. I'm not sure of the exact time, but it should be between the weekend and next Tuesday."
"This week? But today is already Thursday!"
Mr. Bernhardt immediately became agitated, and Shade did not try to comfort him. Instead, he asked again:
"How is the investigation going into the case of businessman Thomas Pidgeon?"
"I asked Captain Rudolph to investigate Pidgeon's fleet. On the surface, he was doing business with the archipelago, but in fact he was doing smuggling with the New World. I arranged for people to investigate his warehouses and cabins, and we really found some magic potions and alchemical materials that were special products of the Old World. And judging by the types, the one trading with him must be the Dragon Feast Cult."
"Caught a mouse."
Mr. Albert said, holding his glass, and Bernhard sighed:
"Mr. Watson, after you have found out whether there is any problem with Carmen Eddington, we will arrest Pidgeon. Don't worry that he will escape. I have enough manpower now. There are people around him 24 hours a day. And it's better if he escapes. We may be able to follow him and discover more secrets."
"Tomorrow is Friday, and I will be able to meet Carmen Eddington at the Margaret Manor banquet tonight. If he is really just an ordinary person, I can ask him through hypnosis. If he is not, then the question will be interesting."
The innkeeper came over again and brought the beer that Shade had ordered. There wouldn't be any delicious drinks in this kind of small shop, and Shade ordered the drinks just to make sure there wasn't nothing in front of him.
"Once this matter is resolved, I will have nothing to worry about. We will be ready for battle this weekend and next Tuesday."
Mr. Bernhardt did not intend to back down. Since he had come to this point, he had obviously made up his mind. As for the symbolic relics that Shade needed to summon the gods, he had also prepared them. It was just that because Mr. Albert was here, he did not mention it directly.
"Mr. Watson, I actually have something I want to ask you for help with."
The coroner spoke again, and Shade looked at him again:
"whats the matter?"
"It's not a very troublesome thing. If things go well, you can get a special rule Rhodes card as a reward in the end."
He spoke in a very calm tone:
"You should also know about the three precious playing cards that caused a stir in Yuewan City some time ago. Yes, you must know about it, after all, you have won one at the Parsifal Club. I know the whereabouts of the most precious card, but I need to solve some problems first. I wonder if you have time on Saturday?"
Xia De nodded hesitantly:
"I think so."
Although Saturday afternoon was the group meeting time, Dorothy would have come to Moon Bay by then, and Tobesk would only have him and the doctor, so it was no big deal to cancel the group study meeting. And since Ptolemy Albert had made an appointment with him before the descent of God, he definitely wanted more than just his help.
"Well, Mr. Watson, I'll meet you here at half past nine on Saturday morning."
"What's the trouble? Do you need my help?"
Mr. Bernhardt at the side also asked, and Mr. Albert looked at him and shook his head slightly:
"Armand, it will just be me and Mr. Watson this time."
They were drinking here just now, and they were also talking about the traitors of the tribe. So not long after Shade arrived, Mr. Albert left first, saying that the topic was over.
Mr. Bernhard turned his head and watched his figure disappear, then asked Xia De:
"I can see that something is wrong with you today."
A brief pause:
"Because of Ptolemy?"
"Yes."
Mr. Bernhardt was not surprised at all:
"You know, there is a very subtle mutual induction between vampires, and this mutual induction is even stronger between higher-level vampires. There is no research to prove the origin of this perception, but it should be related to our blood.
I say all this nonsense to tell you that when I first came to Yuewan three months ago and saw Ptolemy, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, I already felt him. He was like an unstable steam bomb. Although he only has six rings on the surface, I probably can't beat him.
I originally thought he had some adventure of his own, but after you came here, so many things happened, and I almost figured it out. [Blood Sorrow] should be in his hands, right? "
Shade nodded:
"I asked someone to investigate his background, and there are many stories involved. Let's go to another restaurant for dinner and I'll talk to you about this. I want you to evaluate this person from your perspective."
The Spider Hotel also served dinner, but the food was obviously not very good. So the two left the lower city and went to the city center upstream of the Taton River for dinner.
During the period, Shade explained the suspected origin of the coroner, the reason for going to the New World after graduation, his experience in the New World, and the general story of his middle age. Finally, he mentioned that he encountered the leader of the "Pious Cultivator" when investigating [Eternal Light] yesterday, and was scratched by [Blood Sorrow].
Mr. Bernhardt already knew some of this, and he nodded as he listened, until Shad finished speaking and the two of them walked together in Parliament Square under Big Ben in Belindel, and then he gave his answer:
"I know you may think I am biased towards my friends, but to this day, I still think Ptolemy is an upright and good man. Otherwise, I would not have kept asking him for help."
"I don't deny his justice."
Shade also said:
"But is it right for a righteous person to do righteous things? We are not discussing philosophical issues. I also think Mr. Albert is a good person, but should we trust him completely?"
The middle-aged vampire seed duke was not a young man who had never experienced anything. He just remained silent about this question.
Night has fallen now. Standing in the glowing fog, I look up at the towering Big Ben of Belindel.
When~
The clock struck half past six and Shad had made his decision.
Although he had dinner with Mr. Bernhardt that day, Shad still returned to Bellindel Manor before going home.
However, something unexpected happened that night. It was almost midnight, and the bedroom in Hamilton Detective Agency was as hot as usual.
The blonde was entangled with Shade, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was using the writer's body to carry out the "second half". Their period of physical discomfort lasted for six days and finally ended.
She was kissing Xia De passionately when there was a knock on the door.
dong dong dong~
"Someone's knocking on the bedroom door!"
Xia De immediately broke free from Leicia's arms, which made Her Royal Highness the Princess very dissatisfied:
"Why did you stop? It was Mia knocking on the door. She must be hungry. Didn't you want to make her lose weight? Ignore her."
"It's not Mia, it's me. Doesn't that cat like to scratch the door?"
The red-haired witch's clear voice came from outside the door, with helplessness in her voice:
"Lecia, open the door."
From the conversation inside the door, she knew that the person on the "battlefield" at this moment was Leicia, who was supposed to be in the Yodel Palace.
"What are you going to do? Tonight is said to be ours!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke towards the door while hugging Xia De's neck, as if she was worried that Xia De would suddenly run away.
"Of course it's something important. My jewelry just sent me a message asking me to go to the parliament for a meeting. Didn't you hear me singing in the corridor? Something happened in Yuewan again. Xia De, open the door. I don't want to listen to the deliberate voice of Leicia talking to you through the door."
Although she was quite reluctant, Lecia also knew the priorities of the matter. So although she was still complaining, she kissed Shade fiercely a few times and then "let him go".
