In order to prevent other accidents, after learning the location of Mr. Victor Fannie, the three of them said goodbye to the spice merchant. In order to thank the two ladies for accompanying them today, since it was noon time, Shade invited them to come with him.
Had lunch.
There were no good restaurants in the northwest area of the city, so the three of them took a carriage and returned to Saint Teresa Square. After picking up Xiao Mia, they ate at a nearby restaurant.
While dining, Shade looked through the investigation report that Princess Margaret helped record, and talked about his story with the Three Cats Hotel.
"Last time, Miss Mary and I worked together to collect relics at the Three Cats Hotel. Earlier, I went there to investigate a very dangerous ring warlock."
"I also received a mission from the academy to help receive a sorceress who stayed in Tobesk for a few days before heading north to the academy."
Dorothy also said:
"The ring magicians in Tobesk have all been exposed to the Three Cats Hotel to a greater or lesser extent. The north of the city is the slum area of the city. The probability of things happening is higher than anywhere else, but it is also suitable for hiding oneself or conducting transactions. Saint
Song Square is the center of the North District, and the Three Cats Hotel is the largest hotel around Song Square, so there are many, many stories that happen there."
"There's a similar place in Willendale."
Princess Margaret said, turning to look at the fine snow falling outside the window of the restaurant. This snowflake had been floating all morning. She was about to introduce Willendale, but she saw the writer lady sitting next to her and stood up slightly.
He tugged on the collar of Shade, who was sitting opposite:
"You never pay attention to this."
Dorothy complained softly, her movements very consistent, and you could tell she had done it more than once.
"Um"
Since this morning, the princess of the southern country has been doubting the relationship between the writer and the detective. Now it seems that this suspicion is definitely not something she thinks too much.
In fact, if two people are in the same team, and their real-life careers can complement each other, if there is really any emotional involvement, there is no problem. But the problem is that even she, the princess of Carsonrik, is in Willendale City.
Everyone has heard rumors about "Hamilton of Reged" and Duchess Carina Cavendish. There is no reason why the female writer in Tobesk has not heard about it.
"Relationships are really complicated."
Margaret Anjou picked up her teacup and concealed her expression:
"Since we have to investigate in the afternoon, we won't drink. I'm still looking forward to the results. Speaking of which, I once got a batch of pretty good red wine in Huntington City, but unfortunately it has been given away as a gift. Wait until I return
Huntington, you can go back to the gentleman who has a vineyard in the New World and ask him if he still has some in stock. If so, I can send it to you."
She concealed her emotions by changing the subject.
"I know the kind of wine you are talking about. Miss Carina once drank it with me at the banquet at Lakeview Manor."
Shade added:
"Your math teacher, Miss Sylvia, was also there at the time. Miss Carina admired this lady very much."
Dorothy glanced at Shade and said nothing. Princess Margaret also looked at the blonde girl and saw that Shade mentioned his "lover" in front of her, but the writer's expression did not change at all, she only felt this
The life of a young and powerful ringmancer in Tobesk is truly colorful.
After lunch, the three of them returned home and rested for a while. They set off again at two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the snow in the sky became denser. People in Tobesk did not use umbrellas when it snowed, so they walked on the streets.
People's hats were dyed white.
Although Anthem Square in the North District is not as important as St. Teresa Square, there are many merchants selling goods in the square, so the merchants spontaneously cleared the snow and did not create an too muddy environment.
Because of the snow that lasted all day, the afternoon temperature in the city shrouded in gray fog was very low. In the entire Psalm Square, only the "Honorable Man's Blacksmith Shop" on the southwest side had more pedestrians because of the light and heat emitted from the blacksmith's furnace.
, in this snowy weather, people subconsciously get closer.
With the arrival of winter, there are fewer pedestrians in Anthem Square, but the sound of sales is still heard. Although it is not the first time for Princess Margaret to come here, she is still novel about the environment here.
As the three of them walked across the square to the Three Cats Inn, the princess from the Southern Kingdom was very interested in asking Dorothy about the situation of the vendors in the square, and even asked Dorothy about the illegal two countries in the "Honest Man's Gold Shop" on the southwest side of the square.
Currency exchange rate.
When the three of them braved the snow and entered the inn, the princess already had a small wooden hair ornament bought for 10 pence, which was paid by Dorothy. Margaret Anjou and Shade were familiar with the hair ornament.
Lesia and the little princess Agelina are different. Lecia is serious and has the same appropriate sensibility as Dorothy. Agelina loves fantasy and is full of determination. The princess of the Anjou royal family is probably because of her brothers.
There are too few sisters, and they have not experienced the fierce competition between the princes and princesses of the Cavendish family. Therefore, although they are only a few months younger than Lesia, they still have the charm of a girl.
"Speaking of which, the only girls I know so far are sixteen-year-old Agelina and seventeen-year-old Yin Luna, who are younger than my body. Miss Sylvia seems to be about the same age as this body."
Shade thought to himself as he followed the girls into the hotel.
After entering the Three Cats Hotel in the snow, Dorothy and Princess Margaret found seats on the first floor, while Shade walked to the counter alone. In the afternoon, there were the fewest guests in the hotel, and the female shopkeeper, Mrs. Sammy, was bored behind the counter.
Stand.
When the three of them entered the door, she noticed that Xia De was here again. When Xia De came closer, he smiled teasingly:
"Detective, it's really amazing that you brought two beautiful girls with you this time. I think one day, you will bring all the beautiful girls from Tobesk City here."
"Then you should thank me for frequenting your business."
Shade smiled and said:
"Three cups of hot drinks, no alcohol. The weather is really cold. I don't know when the snow will fall."
"It's like this every winter. But when you bring the girls to my place, you won't just drink hot juice, right?"
Mrs. Sangmei asked, and Xia De thought for a while:
"Then switch to butterbeer"
Then he asked quite worriedly:
"You don't distinguish small cups, medium cups, large cups and extra large cups here, right?"
"Detective, this isn't the first time you've come to my place. What kind of weird question is this? If you really feel it's not enough, I can give you a bigger cup for free."
Mrs. Sangmei asked strangely, and then called the waiter on the side to help Shade prepare drinks:
"That girl from the south looks really nice."
After ordering the waiter, he whispered to Shade. She was referring to Princess Margaret. Although the princess had disguised her face, she still looked like a Kasenlik person.
"Oh, Mrs. Sangmei, although I sometimes bring different girls to your place, I don't mean to do anything bad."
"Yes Yes."
The middle-aged woman wearing an apron smiled and said:
"You only do bad things to the Duchess, and everyone in town knows that."
She smiled happily. On this snowy winter afternoon, teasing young people she knew was a good way to have fun:
"Tell me, detective, who are you here to investigate this time? Because you have a discount from our store, I can slightly lower the intelligence fee for you."
"I'm just here to visit friends this time."
Shade shook his head. Mr. Victor Fannie, who was selling the box, lived in the hotel, and he also knew how to contact him. Considering that he didn’t know what would happen in a while, there was no need to ask Mrs. Sammy this time.
Information. If something really happens, asking Mrs. Sangmei for information means directly telling others why he came.
The waiter quickly delivered butterbeer to the table for three people. The wooden tables with obvious wood grain used in the Three Cats Inn were quite atmospheric for people who like taverns, but Shade had no feeling about it.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of this drink, which was said to have no alcohol at all. He felt that the taste was very strange. Princess Margaret held the glass to feel the temperature. Dorothy took off her gloves and took out her notebook:
"Are you going up alone, or should we follow you?"
Shade thought for a moment:
"I don't know what the situation is yet. I'll go upstairs and investigate by myself later."
In fact, she wanted to rely on "her" perception to confirm what her opponent was.
"We will decide on the course of action later. If the opponent is too strong, I will report the matter to the church. I have acquaintances in the church."
Both ladies smiled. Miss Yin Luna Bayas on Wednesday night obviously had a very unusual relationship with Shade. Although Margaret Anjou still doesn't understand why the angel-level relic is
They would think that Shade was an ordinary person, but the parchment in Yin Luna Bayas' hands at that time clearly contained information about more than just ordinary people.
"If we can solve it ourselves, then we will visit that gentleman together. I think he will learn a lesson."
Dorothy and Princess Margaret also agreed with Shade's plan, but Shade did not stand up immediately and chatted with them for another ten minutes. Taking advantage of Mrs. Thorne's opportunity to go to the kitchen, he stood up
Walk towards the stairs and then towards the fourth floor of the hotel.
He was thinking about what he would encounter on the fourth floor, but as soon as he reached the second floor, Shade stopped.
He frowned and looked at the second floor. There were quite a few customers here on Monday afternoon. Ordering a glass of wine and sitting with friends all afternoon, or betting on Rhodes with familiar poker players, were all good ways to kill time.
The air was filled with the strange smell of food and alcohol. Shade stopped because he saw an acquaintance. After hesitating, he retreated to the stairs. Seeing that there was no one up and down, he changed into a coat and put on the witch.
