At 1:30 in the afternoon, Shade, under the advice of Miss Aurora, the great witch of "light", was trying to use the witch's secret technique to cast "Thorns of the Moon" on the first floor. The witch had a new idea and tried to use those moonlight thorns.
It serves as the outermost defense of the hotel. Shade's current spellcasting ability alone is not enough, so she wants to rely on her own strength to assist Shade in casting spells.
The two of them were discussing which location to use as a point for casting the spell, when a faint sound of barking came from the sound of rain outside the hotel door.
The sound stopped outside the door. Miss Aurora looked at her niece in surprise, so Miss Hailey Aurora opened the door and quickly discovered the situation outside the door:
"There is a puppy outside. It seems to have been kicked by someone and it is about to die."
"Puppy? Since it's here, let's check it out and bring it in and feed it some magic potion."
Miss Aurora said, not paying much attention to this matter. So the young girl called other sorceresses to check the puppy at the door to prevent it from being a trick like transfiguration.
Shade didn't pay much attention at first. He was about to continue discussing the spell casting with Miss Aurora, but then he looked outside the door:
"Probably not."
He walked towards the door, looked out at the curious eyes of the girls, and then frowned.
The puppy outside the door is the dog of Little John, the boy in the garbage alley.
Since the heavy rain came, Little John has lived in the hotel as a helper. Seeing that although he was young, the Green siblings worked hard and had no bad habits, so they decided to let him live here in the future, and Shade also made arrangements
Well, "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" will fund and be responsible for his future tuition fees.
But we definitely can’t keep him in the hotel today. It will be very dangerous here after evening. If Shade remembers correctly, Mr. Soren Green arranged for a hotel servant who had an empty room at home to temporarily take him away. The puppy
It must have left together, and Shade couldn't think of why it appeared here.
He stretched out his hand to maintain the life of the weak puppy with "false immortality", and then dropped a few drops of magic potion into its mouth, and the serious injury was almost completely healed. This was what the parliament had prepared for tonight.
The top healing potion. After the puppy recovered its health, it barked at Shade twice, then jumped down from the table, trying to get Shade to follow it.
Shade then caught it and put the [Fish Training Ring] on its paw.
"The fish training ring can only be used by cats, seabirds and other species that like to eat fish. Fortunately, dogs are not among them."
The effect of the relic appeared almost immediately. The puppy, which was still struggling to jump off the table, was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shade, and said in a childish voice that could not tell whether he was a boy or a girl:
"Save him, save him."
The fact that it was able to find this place on its own shows that it is quite intelligent. With the [Fish Training Ring], it can even tell a complete story about what happened.
This matter was not very complicated. After the puppy described it, Shade decided to solve it himself.
"You don't need to go there yourself. It's still raining outside. I'll send someone there."
Miss Aurora, who had also listened to the puppy's story, said, Shade shook his head:
"Since this matter is related to me, I can handle it myself. I will be back in an hour at most, and then we can continue to discuss the Thorns of the Moon."
The witch also knew that she couldn't persuade Shade, so she found an umbrella for him, and then watched him hold the umbrella and take the puppy into the rain.
Shade did not take off the [Fish Training Ring], but let the puppy wear it to guide him. The place where the accident occurred was on the banks of the Duin River, not too far from the Green Lake Hotel. Therefore, even if there was no carriage,
Shade soon arrived at his destination.
The heavy rain washed away the blood stains, and there were no longer many people on the small pier in the city as the puppy said. Only the boy's shoes were left in the grass on the side of the pier.
The river surface was hit by the fierce heavy rain, causing ripples in circles. The puppy was unable to track the scent in this weather. The only weakness of Shade's [Echo of Blood] in tracking blood stains under normal conditions was the rain and the river.
"Tell me again, what happened here."
Shade straightened up while holding the umbrella, and said to the puppy at his feet who was still desperately trying to smell the owner's scent.
"Master, John, followed the fat woman to the house at noon, and ran out after eating. He heard that many people picked up treasures by the river, and some people picked up very rare playing cards, so he wanted to find you one
."
Shade knows all this information.
"There were many people looking for treasures by the river. The men found something, and then they got into a fight for some reason. The owner wanted to leave, but a man said he saw the owner found something good, so he asked the owner to hand it over. But
The master found nothing, he had nothing, so he was slapped several times by the man and passed out. I wanted to save the master, but was kicked, so I had to go to you."
Although this puppy does not have the "philosophical" temperament of the goat not long ago, it can describe things quite clearly.
Shade frowned slightly, and was about to jump into the river to try to find more clues, but at this time, the puppy barked "woof, woof, woof" at another patch of grass.
After Shade pushed aside the grass, he actually saw a gold bracelet. After picking it up, he determined that it was definitely pure gold jewelry, and it looked like an antique. The bracelet was stained with blood that had not been washed away.
"The Whispering Element."
The traces of the elements are quite weak, but this item is just an ordinary item. Some kind of relic adds the power to cause greed to this piece of jewelry. However, for Shade who has the [Greed] spirit rune, this weak mental impact
It can be completely ignored:
"The rumors of treasures in the river are indeed related to the relics."
Thinking in his mind, he took out an empty wine bottle, sucked the blood into the bottle as the raw material of [Blood Brew], and then dropped the fermented wine into his eyes. After blinking, he saw the bloody shadow of a strong man.
, extending all the way from the pier to the roadside pub.
Dropping blood into the eyes to observe the blood color trajectory uses the reverberation power of blood and time and space, so it is not afraid of rain.
Without taking off the puppy's [Fish Training Ring], Shade took it directly across the street and walked into the tavern. After pushing the door and entering, the tavern was divided into two sides, with more than 30 wet people sitting on the left and right sides, all looking at him together.
It's Shard.
The inside of the tavern is warm and dry, but most of these people are dripping with water, and some of them have towels on their heads. As for the tavern itself, it is a common downtown tavern in Green Lake City. The only thing worthy of praise is that the back wall of the tavern
, hangs a huge knitted blanket, and the pattern of the blanket is roughly a map of the Old World.
These men, who seemed to be confronting each other on the left and right, were located on the north and south sides of this huge map of the Old World.
"Sir, we are closed today, please leave."
Shade didn't pay attention to the looks of more than thirty people, so the tavern owner sitting on the right side of the crowd stood up and said, Shade turned around and closed the door. Of course, he closed the door in the tavern.
Look at the two groups of people:
"Are you all people picking up treasures by the river? There are so many of you?"
It was obvious that someone in the crowd wanted to stand up and throw Shade out. Fortunately, the tavern owner wearing an apron and holding a gun did not want to have a conflict on his territory:
"We are the Delarians, and these people across from us are the Kasonrics."
He first pointed at his own side, and then at the thirteen people confronting them:
"These southerners suddenly appeared here today. They said they were walking in the City of Glass and got here. Huh, illegal immigration sounds so good."
The tavern owner snorted. As for the men around him who didn't look like serious people at first glance, they were probably gangsters nearby or gangsters who had been drinking in the tavern all year round. He must have known many of them if he could open a tavern in a neighborhood like this.
people.
"So, you just started fighting?"
Shade asked again, and now someone finally couldn't help it. Sitting behind the tavern owner, a man taller than Shade, with a hound tattooed on his right arm, patted the table and stood up:
"If you don't want to be thrown out by us, get out now!"
Shade skillfully touched his waist, and when he took out the revolver, both groups also took out their own weapons. With the clicking of the pistols, they were raised one after another. Under the dim light of the gas lamp in the tavern, not only
It was Shade who was targeted, and the two groups also targeted each other.
There were more than thirty people with fifteen or six guns, and the muzzles of the three guns were pointed at different people like triangles.
Shade held the pistol and looked at the others, and the others looked at him, while the dog looked at everyone at his feet.
After a second of silence in the tavern, Shade took the initiative to speak:
"I'm not looking for trouble. Just answer my two questions and I'll leave right away."
No one put down their pistols. The tavern owner frowned and asked:
"What do you want to know? If you also want the treasure, go up the river and look for it. But I warn you, no one who tried to find the treasure came back."
Shade ignored him:
"The first question is, for some property, you openly used guns and even killed people in the city. Are those things enough for so many of you?"
As mentioned in the description of the puppy, when the boy tried to leave the crowd, those people had already opened fire.
The fat owner of the tavern controlled his urge to curse and said in Delarian with an accent:
"Of course not just for the treasure, but also because they are Kasenlik people."
More than a dozen people behind him immediately echoed:
"Yeah, not just for the treasure. They're Dixies!"
"They want to steal our stuff!"
"Since these things appear in the upper reaches of the Duin River, they belong to the Delarians!"
"Yes, we must unite to defeat these Kasenrik people!"
"Are you still a Delarian? Do you think we're doing something wrong?"
"Damn it! Are you a traitor?"
"You are disloyal to Delrayon!"
Those chaotic echoing voices made accusations together in the chaos. They did not mention the treasure at all in their words, but only emphasized their respective identities. They spoke righteously, and some of them were obviously heard from newspapers and people who marched recently. Obviously
These vibrant illegal social organizations in Xiacheng District have nothing to do with the dispute between the North and the South, but they are still able to say this.
Of course, the guns in everyone's hands did not move at all due to this.
