Chapter 627 Meet Captain Radeth again

Just in time for lunch, Cassandra The mother-in-law invited Shade to have dinner with her and wanted to chat with him about Miss Carina. Shade happened to be looking for a place to eat, so he agreed.

The pair did not eat inside Auction House, but at Wood's on Oak Street. This is a high-end restaurant in the city center. As a wealthy businessman, Kassandra's mother-in-law was naturally warmly received.

The characteristic of Wood Restaurant is that all the tableware here, except for the knife and fork, 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 surviving Demoness on the Demoness Council, Granny Kassandra knows a lot. Shade also learned from her mouth that Miss Jialina's teacher is actually a member of the royal family, but it is not a direct line of the Cavendish Xu Family. In terms of the blood relationship back then, the succession ranking may have to be ranked After fifteen. . .

Of course, this does not mean that the Cavendish Xu Family has become a ring warlock family like the Avrolla family. Before Miss Galina and her cousin, there was no Demoness seat. There have been members of the royal family.

Mother-in-law Cassandra is very talkative, and even mentioned to Shade an interesting story about Miss Carina's childhood, which is the kind of story that if Shade dares to bring it up, he is likely to be thrown out of the Demonness Manor .

And not only that, she even talked to Shade about Sister Daveline of the [spirit cultivator]. Zina Cassandra, who is more than 100 years old, knew the spirit cultivator order at a young age and witnessed the change of the three chief nuns of the order. Even the current leader, Sister Daveline, was discovered by Granny Cassandra as an innate talent.

"Daveline is really innate talent, especially her eyes that can see through death, which is a rare innate talent."

Given by Old Demon After receiving such an evaluation, there was a platter of vegetable salads in front of him.

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

Shade curiously asked, the old man across the table shook his head:
"I asked mine According to the teacher's opinion, she believes that Daveline is more suitable for the spirit cultivator order than the power of Demoness. The order she leads can exert more power for this world. Judging from the current situation, the teacher is worthy of being a teacher. ”

When the mother-in-law Cassandra succeeded to the seat, the previous generation of Great Demons unfortunately died young, so her teacher is another ring warlock, which Shade heard from Sister Daveline and Miss Carina. mentioned.

"Then your teacher is."

Since the other party mentioned the news, Shade asked curiously.

"Oh, I can't say the name of the teacher casually. However, the teacher happens to be at Midhill Fort and is preparing for a ceremony that will be held once every 22 years. When the ceremony is over, I can introduce you to you. I know."

Mother-in-law said Cassandra with a smile, Shade nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any further questions. However, judging from the current known information, Shade is very suspicious that the teacher of the old man in front of him is a 12-ring or even 13-ring warlock.

After all, she was older than Granny Cassandra.

"Oh, speaking of which, native of Fort Midhill, is there any ring warlock that is extremely good at Death Power? Not must be very strong, but must be good at it. I have something to look for in this ring warlock Help."

During the meal, Shade inadvertently asked, and Demoness, who had heard about the third candidate, naturally gave the answer:
"Galina asked for your help. Me? No, youngster, no, I'll investigate this myself. I know you're very capable, but don't meddle in things related to Whispering Poems."

"I understand I'm done."

Shade didn't ask any further questions, in order not to arouse the Demoness's suspicion. In his heart, he thought that Sister Davelyn also knew about "The Whispering Poems", so he couldn't ask the spirit cultivator for help.

After lunch, Shade said goodbye to Mother-in-law Kassandra and headed to Meadhill Fort Mechanical Academy.

It's interesting to say that after the real "Midhill Castle" in the old days, that is, the castle camp used for defense was abandoned, it was not demolished, but became the later established Middle Hill. Home of the Fort De Hill Mechanical Academy.

The castle is located at the foot of the Xikar Mountain, and its main body is in the shape of the word "hui", the hometown of foreigners.

The entire Academy, in addition to the castle itself and the large open space in the center of the castle, also includes the part divided by the independent outer wall, and other teaching buildings built next to the castle later.

Compared to the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy (Note), which Shade already knew of an area larger than a city, the old-time masonry castle with minarets that he saw after the carriage was in line with his view of " School of Magic and Conjuring".

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary local college, and no one will fly on a broom here.

Unlike Tobesque, which consists of several well-known schools in the kingdom, there are only two well-known schools in Midhillburg. Among them, the older Meadhill Fort Machinery Academy is directly connected to the steam factory area at the foot of the mountain, which can be regarded as the integration of production, education and research.

In the vicinity of the castle, you can see countless towering chimneys spraying black smoke. At the same time, you can also see the carriage hurriedly passing by the street, and the merchants are frequently walking around. Compared to the city center, this neighborhood looks more lively.

The weather was still gloomy, and it even rained lightly when Shade got on the carriage, but it stopped when he got off the car. Shade had never been here, so to find that Professor John Dunn, he had to ask someone.

While looking around, the silhouette, who hurried across from his left, met his eyes.

“en?”

“en?”

The man in the Imperial Family Army uniform is the one who hasn’t seen each other for a month. Captain Gun" Laddes. And even though Shade is wearing eyeshadow from Demonness and wearing clothes he's never worn in Tobesque, Captain Laddes recognizes him:

"Mr. Han Hamilton?"

Of course, the burly officer wasn't quite sure what he saw was Shade Hamilton. Tobesque is too far away from Fort Midhill, and Shade does look different because of the eyeshadow.

Shade thought about a lot of things for a moment, but finally nodded:

"It's me."

Since it has been recognized, then pretend to be It's okay to come here on business, as long as he doesn't get in the papers in Tobesque for the last two weeks because of anything, he won't be exposed.

So he motioned Captain Ladds to talk to him at a remote location under the Willow Tree by the wall. Captain Laddes saw Shade at Fort Midhill and was very excited:
"Oh, Detective, why are you in Fort Midhill? Just now, I almost didn't recognize you."

He shook hands with Shade enthusiastically, and really regarded Shade as a friend.

"Because of a troublesome commission."

And Mr. Tobesque, the detective, pretended to be very troubled:
"I was there a few days ago. I just got here. Tobesque's client, asked me to come here to investigate a matter related to illegal child. The client's identity is very sensitive, so I can't reveal my purpose, and I will leave after the investigation is over. Captain, I'm a writer now under the pseudonym John Watson, so please go by that name."

"John Watson? Oh, I remember."

Captain nodded, quite understanding of the reason given by Shade:

“illegitimate child is really troublesome, is it a nobleman? Oh, I shouldn’t have asked. But Mr. Watson, you can absolutely Refuse this request, after all, it takes a week to get here by train from Tobesque, and the other party is very powerful?"

Captain Rades thought he had found the answer, and couldn't help wrinkling. Brow:

"They threatened you?"

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

Shade twitched his fingers, this time, Captain Radees understood Shade better, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile:

"Then now in What to do? Need my help? I'm familiar with the city."

"In order to investigate the illegal child, I made a connection with a wealthy local businessman. But the wealthy businessman asked I'm helping me find a lost antique. Captain, do you know where the Academy's folklore professors are usually?"

PS: As mentioned by the doctor in chapter 573, for the sake of To prevent forgetting, here is a reminder that it is not a setting that just popped up out of thin air.
