"Yes, speaking of it, the last time I went to the college library to meet Miss Danist, the Red Moon Witch, I didn't feel it was particularly cold in the college."
Shade agreed.
But thinking of this, he reminded himself that when he saw Lesia next week, he could ask her about the location of Zarath Literature Academy. Her Royal Highness the Princess was a formal student studying directly at the academy when she was in the lower grade. And Zarath Literature
The location of the academy, presumably like the other two thaumaturgy academies, was beyond Shade's expectations.
"Oh, speaking of which, Shade, there is one more thing."
The doctor patted his head and said calmly:
"You sold those books today..."
"Doctor, please don't mention this again."
Shade shook his head quickly:
"If we had to explain this from the beginning, such as their origins, why I took them around, and why I wanted to sell them, it would be very complicated. Please don't get me wrong, I don't have any special hobbies."
"Oh well."
The doctor nodded, but Shade wasn't sure if the doctor was convinced by what he said.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and all three of Iluna's requests had nothing to do with relics. Although this Friday was not over yet, Shade didn't want to look for new events.
After all, he is really not the chosen one, and he is not lucky enough to encounter the relic without going out.
I finished today’s investigation report at home, and then wrote a letter to Professor Manning. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take my very well-behaved cat out for dinner, I sent the report to Iluna, and the letter to Professor Manning.
.
According to Luvia's divination, the professor should be able to find the people from the Guiding Light Monastery soon.
Although today is very busy, it is indeed a very peaceful day.
Just like that, Saturday came. When he went out to get newspapers and goat milk in the morning, Shade actually saw several letters addressed to him.
This is new news, after all, he doesn't know many people.
The first two letters were bills, from the steam company and the gas company, and then they were tax payment receipts from the Tobesk City Hall. Looking further, the letters actually came from a rural town on the shores of Lake Tees in the southeast of the kingdom.
At first, Shade thought it was a letter sent to Detective Sparrow from his previous client, but later he remembered that it was the address of the orange cat Mia's real owner, Miss Mia San Gold.
"Mia, look, your master has sent a letter."
Shade opened the envelope and walked up the stairs. The small cat followed behind his slippers. He looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Shade shaking something, so he supported his body with his hind paws and jumped up. But he saw Shade.
He had no intention of giving it to him, so he ignored Shade with great disgust, and instead quickly ran up the stairs, presumably waiting for him at the dining table.
Although Mia has always been with Shade, Miss Gothe is the real owner of the orange cat Mia. She was only unable to pick up the cat because she was dealing with matters in her hometown in the countryside. In the letter sent by this lady last month
, explaining that he would send a letter once a month to inquire about the situation. This time, the letter contained the same 10-pound note as last time, as Mia's alimony.
Miss Gold once again expressed her gratitude to Detective Hamilton in the letter, and told Shade with great regret that not only did she have to deal with family affairs, but she also had some minor health problems, and I was afraid that she would not be able to leave for the nursery within this year.
Besk, pick up Mia.
In addition, in her letter, she asked Xia De to take a photo of the cat. The background should use this month's newspaper and the date should be visible. Presumably, the lady who paid the fee generously was also very worried about Xia De.
De scolded the cat harshly and even threw the cat away long ago.
"It seems that I must give you a bath in the next few days, and then take pictures, so that Miss God can take a good look at you."
Shade patted the well-behaved cat, who squinted and didn't realize what Shade wanted to do.
In fact, the outsider has already made up his mind to obtain the ownership of the cat. Taking the client's things as his own, even if he pays for it, is immoral, so Shade wanted to test Miss Gaude a little bit in the letter.
Attitude.
He has to take it step by step and cannot explain his thoughts directly at the beginning. On the one hand, he is worried about being directly rejected by Miss Gao De, who is not mentally prepared. On the other hand, it is also because Miss Gao De is also facing a lot of trouble in her hometown.
, Xia De wanted to make a formal request when the client was in a good mood.
So at least, the reply with photos sent out in a few days can only be a preliminary test.
"Our family is in decline." This is a sentence that Miss Gauthe mentioned several times in her letter. She belongs to a very famous ancient family in a small town on the shores of Lake Tees, but she moved away with her parents when she was very young.
town, until the family needed an heir, he received a letter and returned to the town, living with his parents who had returned a few years ago.
Outsiders don't quite understand what the situation is like for big families in rural towns in this era. But he sincerely hopes that Miss Gothe can solve the trouble as soon as possible. This generous lady should have a good life.
After preparing breakfast for himself and the cat, Shade continued to read the last letter. The last letter actually came from Professor Manning, but Shade just sent his letter last night. Even if the professor saw the letter at this time, he would not have time to reply.
, that is to say, this was sent by the professor last night.
“Professor found doomsday academic organization!”
Professor Manning spoke very directly. After the initial politeness, he directly stated the results of the investigation. The professor told Shade in the letter that after investigation, he confirmed that the largest doomsday academic organization in the Old World is called the Light Guide Club.
This is not an organization rooted in a certain area or a certain school, but a loose academic organization composed of professors from colleges and universities across the old continent. It is intended to preserve the achievements of human civilization and pass on the civilization when the end comes.
organize.
Therefore, this academic organization composed of ordinary people is named "Light Guide Club", which means passing on the light of civilization.
"You can tell from the name that this club is definitely supported by the Guiding Light Monastery."
Shade murmured in a low voice while reading the letter. Professor Manning's letter contained tea leaves, and he didn't know how the letter paper was stored.
He did not expect that the other party would be so bold and directly use the name of his own organization as the name of the ordinary people's organization he supported. Presumably the "Guiding Light Monastery" was really in decline, so confident that even the Zhengshen Church could not see it.
Give them clues.
However, supporting ordinary people's organizations in this way can not only promote the ideas of one's own organization, recruit more talents, but also provide appropriate ways to obtain funds, and cover up traces of the activities of ring magicians, which is really a good approach.
An academic group composed of intellectuals, of course there are members in big cities like Tobesk, the capital of Delrayon. Professor Manning has already contacted one of them and asked Shade to meet him at his home at ten o'clock this morning.
He knew that Shade was very anxious to search, so he made arrangements in such a hurry.
"Ten o'clock..."
Shade thought about the time and was in a very good mood. This week's two main goals, 15 credits and the Light Guide Monastery, were actually possible to complete. He admired his efficiency, but he still hoped that his future life would not always be like this.
of tension.
Because he was going to Professor Manning's house, of course Shade couldn't bring Mia with him. He calculated the time and arrived at Cat Tail Alley at 9:50 in the morning.
After knocking on the door, the familiar fat maid opened the door for him, and the guests Shade wanted to see had already arrived.
Professor McCain Heinke works at the same university as Professor Manning. However, Professor Heinke is from the philosophy department, so he and Professor Manning were just acquaintances.
When Shade was led into the study by the servant, the two professors were talking about the school's remuneration. Professor Manning has actually reached retirement age and is now accepting re-employment before continuing to work, while Professor Manning, who was wearing a brown checkered suit and a white beard,
Professor Heinke has two years left to retire and is quite dissatisfied with his pension.
Seeing that Shade had already arrived, the two old professors stopped talking. Professor Manning gave a brief introduction to both parties, and Shade also exchanged business cards with Professor Heinke.
Professor Heinke had heard about "Hamilton of Rejed" and knew in advance that he was a detective in Saint Teresa Square, so he was not surprised by the address on the business card. Shade took advantage of the opportunity of handing over the business card and shaking hands.
It confirms that the other person is just an ordinary person.
Professor Manning left after the introduction, and there was time for private conversation.
"Good morning, professor."
After the polite remarks, Shade got straight to the point:
"I ran into some trouble when making the commission, so I need the help of academics like you who study doomsday theory."
"No problem. So, Mr. Hamilton, what do you want to know?"
Professor Heinke asked enthusiastically.
Shade actually wanted to ask the other party directly if he knew about the Ring Warlock, but he didn't know the specific relationship between the "Light Guide Club" and the "Light Guide Monastery" yet, so he couldn't speak rashly. So on the way here, he had already thought about it
How to speak.
"No, no, it's not a question of doomsday. My client is an antique dealer whose identity cannot be disclosed. He recently obtained a batch of antiques. In order to determine the value and specific age of the antiques, he investigated the frequent occurrences on the surface of the antiques.
symbol. But the origin of that symbol can hardly be found. I only accidentally learned that it is related to the doomsday group, so I was entrusted with further investigation."
As Shade spoke, he took out his notebook and used a pen to draw a symbol on the page: "The main body is an equilateral triangle, the three corners of the triangle are connected to a small circle, and inside the triangle is a person with wings."
"
When handing it to Professor Heinke, Shade stared at the other person's expression. Although the old professor controlled it very well, Shade still saw that the other person's eyes widened unnaturally when he saw the symbol.
