Chapter 451 Furniture
The gas lamp at home is very bright, the Mia cat under the lamp is very cute, the living room Shade was also surprised.

Surprised that Shade didn't stop Mia from sniffing the metal plates.

Two indents and two letterpresses, the pattern of the one shilling banknote is extremely delicate and real, and the roughness of the metal cannot be felt at all by rubbing it with your fingers. It has a unique feeling of civilization and steam industry.

“Hmm”

Shade felt hot and itchy in the middle of the night, and the cold sweat on his forehead came out:
“It can’t be.”

Looking at the side of the metal plate, the letters "Delarion Kingdom Mint · Top Secret" are clearly engraved on the four plates in the same position. Below the letters is the coat of arms of the Cavendish Xu Family.

"Hmm"

Shade put down the four silver-gray metal plates in his hands, then covered his face and rubbed it vigorously:
"Delarion Kingdom Mint, This is the master for printing paper money."

【God's Gift Box】Giving a gift is a copy of an existing item, so even if Shade's guess is correct, it doesn't convey that the coinage is important item missing, news of the country's most wanted criminals.

Shade carefully checked the item in his hand under the light again, and then basically determined that this is the standard master of the current 1850 1 shilling banknote.

This gift is quite a nuisance.

"Although I really want more gold pounds, I just give me the printed version and let me print it myself"

Not to mention that Shade is not poor enough to risk such a big Risk to make counterfeit money, even if he wants to do it, he has no idea about the material of the paper money.

"So, this thing can't be used at all, can it be used for table legs at home?"

Shade thought hesitantly, and then jumped in at some point. Pull out the cat lying in the [God's Gift Box].

He looked towards the four metal plates on the sofa:

"It's a pity to destroy it, and it's a gift from God, it's not polite to destroy it hastily. Then, Why don't you give it to someone else, I can't keep this, even if I don't get found out, it's hard to think about it all day, Lecia will be back in Tobesque soon, give this to her as a trip back This should be considered a surprise. But is the printed master of the coin a suitable gift for a girl?"

Ignoring Miss Galina, who would definitely pay a lot for these things, yes Because Shade was really worried that Demoness would do something with the masters printed on these banknotes.

Shade believes that Miss Galina is just such a person.

Having figured out how to solve these tricky "gifts", Shade put the [God's Gift Box] and four printed plates back behind the basement wall, before walking through it with the cat in his arms. The dark stairs lead back to the second floor.

Outlanders like the sound of their shoes stepping on the stairs, because it reminds him that the big house under his feet belongs to him.

"Well, Laccia will probably like it."

But anyway, Shade isn't going to tell anyone, not even Dorothy, that he got this thing. going to tell. After all, these four printed plates are, in a sense, more dangerous than relics. Once it spreads out and is obtained by people who really know how to use it, it will cause big trouble for the country, and Shade's peaceful life will cease to exist.

"But the requirements for this gift are very simple."

Last week I was helping others do laundry, and this week I was feeding stray cats outdoors twice a week. This is not complicated for Shade, he has cat food at home, and a city like Tobesque has no shortage of stray cats.

“Stay away from Mia, though.”

If Shade, who has been getting smarter lately, found out that Shade was taking his rations to feed the cats outside, he would probably Pass yourself out.

"Anyway, it's been a pretty magical Monday again."

This is Shade at the desk turning on the gas lamp, pulling off the cap of the pen, and moving the cat from the paper in front of him The last thing you think about before you start writing your own investigator report.

(Dorothy is in the process of writing.)

When I woke up on Monday morning, the sky was foggy outside, and I couldn't tell if the weather was good or if it wanted to rain.

The pen on the table reflects even fainter rays of light in the dim morning light, and the owner of the pen stretches and prepares to start a new week.

The report submitted to the Academy last night has been answered, Professor Garcia seems to be frightened by the first key, so he stayed up all night waiting for Shade to deliver the report. He dealt with all the follow-up of this investigation mission overnight, and gave the approval of this investigation report.

Because the report was well-written, and Shade did not write about meeting a god, the professor gave Shade a reward of 5 practice credits according to the ordinary poet-level key. 3 credits are the basic reward for the investigation, and 2 credits are the reward for Shade for giving information on the "Fortress of Dread" and Mr. Riddle's life.

The matter of Mr. Riddle and Fort Dread, the Historical Academy will conduct a more in-depth investigation in the follow-up. The key-corresponding incident that Professor Garcia originally expected was not the one that Shade encountered, so even if he did not encounter danger, with the attitude of supplementing the lack of history, the investigation could not be abandoned.

As for Shade himself, his most important thing today is not to find out about Mr. Riddle's life, but to buy himself some new furniture.

After all, this week, the house will be renovated.

Shade has contacted Dawn Church and they will help with the stairs from the second floor to the third floor during this period, which the church originally promised. The workers who inspected the specific damage on the third floor and carried out the construction will probably come to No. 6 St. Teresa Square after ten o'clock in the morning with the church members.

Shade is going out to buy some furniture for himself before they arrive. He doesn't pursue high-quality, high-end handmade furniture, and even if he didn't have some savings, he would go to Old John's to find some bargains.

It was just that Shade just changed his clothes, and when he was thinking about whether to take the lazy cat to go out with him, he felt the badge on his chest was slightly warm:

"Oh? My badge is heating up.

, there must be a Demoness nearby."

Before he could look for it, there was a knock on the door downstairs, and outside was Miss Tifa Serveit, who came in the carriage.

Seeing Shade who opened the door, dressed as he was about to go out, the black-haired maid who stepped out of the carriage asked hesitantly:
"Mr. Hamilton, did I disturb your arrangement?"

"Of course not."

Shade shook her head hastily and invited her in:

"I just went out to buy some furniture."

When going upstairs with the maid, Shade briefly introduced the upcoming construction of the house. Miss Serveit nodded to indicate that she understood that as for her purpose of coming here, Miss Galina wanted to know from Shade what happened to the Prophet Society last Friday afternoon.

"What happened to the Prophet's Association, it's the Princess' injury."

If it weren't for the generous reward given by Agelina Princess after the event, it would be really impressive , Shade even forgot about it:

"Is there anything wrong with this? I don't think my findings will be wrong."

Although doubtful, he He told me in detail what happened that day. During the period, the black-haired maid said nothing. After he finished speaking, he whispered:
"Do you know the identity of the 'murderer' who was 'found by the cat'?"

"No I know."

"Saxophone Prince's lover."

Shade frowned as he recalled the age of the girl in the blue dress at the time. Agelina Princess is sixteen, and most of her friends are a similar age. Even though he knew that this world and this era were different from his hometown, Shade couldn't help in the heart to have malice towards the Prince who broke into the Yodell Palace with a weapon:
"So, what's going on."

“A childish girl was tricked by someone with a heart and committed a ridiculous crime in order to save her lover.”

Tifa said, wanting to explain further, but Shade has completely Got it:
"In this political turmoil, people who don't understand anything but are still involved are most likely to be used as guns."

"You seem to understand."

The maid asked with a smile, Shade immediately shook her head:
"No, I don't understand anything, don't tell me anything else, I don't want to know anything."

The smile on her face became brighter:
"You really understand. Well, please don't need to explain, I will tell the lady your description."

said standing When he got up, Shade also got up to take her downstairs, but the lady maid glanced around and asked:
"Mr Hamilton, how much furniture are you missing? Please make a list and I'll deliver it to you in the afternoon. Come."

"No, no, how can I."

"There is a lot of spare furniture in the manor, and it will take up space in the basement. Besides, a small house like yours will also take up space. I don’t need much furniture. Even if I don’t mention it, the lady will prepare furniture for you after hearing about it. Although I shouldn’t judge your relationship with the lady, even in the face of a beautiful lady, the lady rarely takes the initiative. Kiss the forehead."

Shade was actually more curious, whether Miss Galina had kissed the forehead of the beautiful maid in front of him, but he controlled his doubts well. As for the furniture, I thought about it and didn't refuse again:
"Please thank Miss Galina for me, and of course, thank you. As for the furniture I am missing."

He thought about the specific Quantity, the black hair maid suggested:

"Why don't you take me around the house, I'll check the size of the room and the style of decoration you like, and I'll prepare the furniture for you. "

Sometimes, Shade really envies Miss Galina having such a professional maid.

An unexpected visit from a maid saves Shade from going to the Northern Part of City's lower-city lumber market to look at furniture. After seeing her off, Shade took the cat to visit Augustus Priest again at the Church of Dawn, seeing that it was still some time before ten o'clock.

The "Angel Potion" on the priest's side has not been completed yet, but he knew that Shade wanted the church's construction team to help with the stairs today, so he asked:
"Speaking of which, do you need to? Don't need an overseer?"

"Overwatch?"

Shade didn't understand the meaning of the word for a while.
