Chapter 435 The cat sunset and the banknotes

Although I am surprised by Her Highness the Princess's active cooperation, I still He came to Agelina Cavendish with the cat, bent down and put the cat that was grabbed by the back of his neck in front of her hand.

Xiaomi doesn't have the habit of biting, so she doesn't open her mouth to bite the beautiful hand stretched out in front of her. It adheres to the principle of sniffing anything it encounters to determine whether it is food, and it really makes a light sniffing action. The cat is now slightly curled up, plus its good appearance, this look is really good Very attractive.

The sixteen-year-old young Princess actually touched it with her uninjured hand, but was directly rejected by the cat's claws. Instead of making Agelina angry, it made her and the girls around her laugh.

"Very well, it seems that Her Highness the Princess is ok, then the next one."

Shade is very satisfied with Xiaomia's obedience.

After Princess was the first to try to be sniffed by a cat, the other noble girls laughed and let Shade carry the cat to sniff their hands. Shade always emphasizes that his cat will never miss anyone with a special smell on his hands, but in fact Shade simply doesn't care what Mia smells, but carefully observes everyone's expressions.

When the cat sniffed hands two-thirds of the way, Shade finally found that the girl in the blue dress with lace trims, who had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word, was Quietly rubbing his hand on the skirt.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, but."

When it was the other person's turn, Shade came to her with the cat, bent down and put it down:

"Ma'am, please stretch out your hand."

The tan-haired girl who said nothing obviously didn't want to stretch out her hand, but now that everyone was looking at her, she could only hesitantly stretch out her own Both hands, but half of the palms are hidden in beautifully patterned sleeves.

Mia's height was lowered by Shade, but she got tired of sniffing hands.

"Meow~"

The cat actually meows. Because Shade's left hand patted its tail quietly.

"oh?"

The detective frowned, as if in some intractable trouble. And his interjection was also captured by the noble ladies onlookers.

Shade looked cautiously towards the girl in front of him, scrutinizing her outfit with probing eyes. The girl in the gauze skirt looked towards him timidly, and then asked cautiously:
"Excuse me, detective, why did you stop suddenly."

"This"

Shade looked embarrassed because he had no idea if he had the right person.

But he knew that someone knew the answer, so he aimed his eyes at President Stan, who had come back. The middle age person with a slightly thin body, a high nose bridge, and deeply sunken eyes, stood by the side, looked towards Shade unexpectedly, with a faint smile on his face.

Shade knows he has the right person.

"Ma'am, may I ask, what did you ever get on your hand?"

He asked softly, lifting the cat back on his shoulder and stroking it gently 's little brain. On the face of the girl in front of her, a frightened expression flashed for a moment. She had not undergone any special training, and all her emotions were expressed on her face.

So Shade cautiously didn't say anything, but looked towards Agelina Cavendish Princess. The sixteen-year-old Princess looked sternly towards the girl in front of Shade, who moved her lips a little:
“Ajieli”

She lowered her head.

Now the girls who were laughing and watching Shade sniffing all the hands with cats stopped talking, and the lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Shade glanced at President Stan again, and when he didn't speak, he knew he had really found the right person. So I held the cat in my arms and stroked it again, thanking it for its little help, and then bowed slightly to Agelina Cavendish:
"Then, Your Highness, I think this investigation commission is over. "

"Hamilton of Rejed, you did a great job."

The red-haired girl said softly, the expression at this time made her look more like Lecia .

Princess stood up and was about to leave. The two maids followed the girl "found by the cat" one by one. Princess' other friends closed their mouths and followed behind.

"The reward for the investigation will be given to you later."

After saying this, he walked out the door. Shade looked towards President Stan, who was also standing aside, the middle age person made a silent gesture, and followed behind the crowd with Shade.

The entire group returned from the second floor to the first floor, and then went outside from the foyer on the first floor. The time was approaching dusk, and the sky gradually dimmed. The three carriages approaching in the distance stopped in front of the Prophet's Association one by one, and the girls got into the car one by one, and then drove in the direction of Yodel Palace.

Whether they're going to Yodel Palace, what will happen to the girl who gets caught, it's not about Shade.

He stood in front of the Prophet Society with President Stan and watched the convoy leave.

The Prophet asked Shade softly:
"Does it feel like an unfathomable mystery?"

"Indeed, even if you want to hurt someone, you shouldn't use such a minor means. If it was an accident, then why not apologize right away."

Shade just couldn't figure it out.

"This matter is very complicated. Although the association is very close to the Yodell Palace, we shouldn't discuss too much about what happened there."

President Stein sighed slightly :

"Politics is always the most troublesome thing."

The sunset glowed through the mist, turning the sky in Tobesque red. The two men stood together on the flowing Silver Cross Avenue, and stood together at the gate of the Prophet Association, which was crowded with people.

The carriage passed in front of them, the wheels rolling on the road made a rhythmic sound, and the metal pipes attached to the walls reflected the rays of light in the afterglow of the setting sun, making the street extraordinarily bright. Together they looked towards the Yordle Palace under the fiery red sunset, and in the misty distance, it was the steam-age street scene of the northern pearl city of Tobesque.

The setting sun made Mia's cat fur on her shoulders glow like sheer light. The cat opened her mouth and yawned. She didn't know if she was hungry or sleepy, but she suddenly reacted to the bird flying overhead. interested.

The bird swept across the Silver Cross, over the skyline of the grid-like city, over the chimneys spewing black smoke, over the heads of the barefoot workers with sacks on their backs. Fly over, over the heads of well-dressed gentlemen, over the homes of Tobesque.

August is approaching mid-August, the hottest day of the year is coming to an end, and autumn is almost here.

(Iluna is praying.)

When Luvia, who returned to the association, saw Shade in the divination room on the second floor, Shade faced the window and was using The setting sun outside the window was counting the stacks of 1 shilling banknotes in her hand, while Mia squatted beside him, staring at his hand, skillfully counting the banknotes.

Luvia even saw an afterimage of Shade's hand, and he's really good at counting banknotes.

"What are you doing? Even if you want to show that you are rich, you should at least count the 1-pound notes, right?"

The purple-eyed fortune-teller was curious said, turn on the gas light on the wall, put the handbag on the table, then pull out the chair and sit across from Shade. But neither Shade nor the cat looked up at her, a man and a cat focused on the bills.

"Wait a minute. Well, good afternoon, Luvia, you're still so pretty. This was given to me by your president, Mr. Stan, for the commission fee. These are 10 pounds, There are a total of 200 cards, and the association is really generous. But it's all loose change, I've been counting it for a while."

Shade smiled, put the money in an envelope on the side, and covered it with a handkerchief into the chest pocket. Mia was also very happy with her neck raised, the cat understood the meaning of "coin".

"The association's Rhodes card appraisal business will get a lot of change. So if there is an opportunity, tellers are more inclined to spend the change that is not easy to keep."

Luvia understands this quite a bit. Seeing that Shade has collected the money, she does not ask what happened just now, but asks nervously:
"I have heard about the incident in Coldwater Harbor yesterday morning. It's over, but you said Darkness"

"He ran away."

Shade replied lightly, and the purple-eyed girl showed such an expression as she expected:

"Look, Shade, the first candidate of the chosen one, still has some skills."

"I used words to ask a twelve-ringed female warlock to catch him, But Darkness was still able to run away. The only thing that caused effective damage to him was the [Sunshine Spear] I threw with Iluna's alchemy item, I think he will probably recover on the way to Tobesque."

Avoiding the details of Shivi Avrolla's identity and Dorothy's relationship with Lacia, Shade briefly described her experience in Cold Harbor. He even mentioned the level 0 relic [Desire] he encountered, and showed Luvia the [Sin Chain] extracted from that piece of flesh and blood.

Unsurprisingly, Luvia was quite worried about Shade. She had never heard of anyone daring to eat part of a level 0 relic. I took Shade's hand to check on him, but just like Shade's own feelings, except for his increased desire, what he got was all benefits.

"The gift from fate"

".The price has already been marked in secret."

Shade caught Luvia's words, she used the The language of the fifth era, Shade happened to have learned some of it in the textbook:
"It was the [Blood Spirit School] who gave the price, and it was the [Puppeteer's Note] that led me to the dark room behind the damp chapel. , and helped me gain power."

"But how do I feel, even without that relic, you can still gain power?"

Luvia was a little distressed:
"What happened to you is absolutely abnormal, think about it carefully, Shade, how much has you been through in the two months since we met you?"

"But the accident I experienced, Isn't it all about the elect? It's because of Iluna in Tobesque, because of Ivan Darkness in Cold Harbor, and it's not my bad luck."

Shade It looks very open.
