Chapter 2115 Witch and Elf
The old man behind the counter looked at the anchor for a moment and then returned it to Shade:
“Obvious magical items, and they belong to a certain good god. But we can’t tell from more information. The power attributes of the old gods who left in the fifth era are not those of us living in the sixth era. It can be known. But since the **** has left, this item can still have such power, which means that the great man must still have very devout believers in this era.”
So Shade had new speculations about “Miss Elisa”. At first, because of the anchor, he thought she was involved in an old **** related to the ocean. But from Miss Lisa and her daughter, they learned that the mission was only to fulfill the little girl’s wish, so Shade understood that she should be related to a certain **** related to “wishes” and “children”.
Coupled with the fact that the old **** who appeared in this Time Key mission is the “Giver of Dreams”, Shade is almost certain that Miss Eleser is a believer of that old god.
Of course, the time key matter is not what we need to deal with now. It is important to help Emilia get rid of the curse first. After Shade’s interpretation, those tadpole articles pointed to No. 19 Dinier Street in the south of Tobesk. The south of the city is the area where the nobles in the city live. Shade has never been to this address before. It wasn’t until he got off the carriage with Emilia that he saw that it was a large manor. The white wall blocks passers-by’s view of this deep house compound. It is not a place that can be entered casually.
Emilia also saw that this place was difficult to enter and looked at Shade hesitantly. Shade hesitated:
“I’m going to find out whose house this is. If there’s no problem, we’ll try to sneak into it.”
The word “infiltrate” made the elf girl’s eyes light up, but before Shade could take action, another carriage coming from a distance stopped behind them:
“Good morning, Shade, what are you doing here?”
A familiar voice came, and Shade and Amelia turned around at the same time and saw the red-haired duchess looking at them from the car window.
Shad breathed a sigh of relief, while the young elf was surprised by the appearance and temperament of this beautiful lady. She turned sideways and hid behind Sha De, but she still thought she was hidden and looked at him quietly.
“I am here. I want to go in here.”
Shad pointed to the manor behind him, and Miss Carina raised her eyebrows:
“Then get in the car and go in with me. Do you remember the funeral you attended with me last month? My brother, Duke Rhodes, left this house that belonged to him to Aunt Nymph. But she didn’t live in Tobesk, so she rented this house to me so that I could have a place to hold banquets in Tobesk city. You know, I don’t really like to hold banquets in manors outside the city. .”
The manor guards opened the door for the duchess, and Shade also called Amelia to board the carriage. The elf girl timidly followed Shade. Sitting next to Shade, she was so cautious that she didn’t dare to look at Miss Carina. Then she caught sight of the black-haired maid beside her from the corner of her eye. She was immediately shocked by her beauty and figure and could not say anything. Words:
“Is this human? It turns out that elves really have limits.”
“Emilia, this is Duke Carina Cavendish.”
Shade did not forget to introduce him, and Emilia came back to her senses. She was a little frightened in front of this powerful duchess, of course because the other party was looking at her.
“Hello, Duke. I know you are mentioned in The Hamilton Detective Stories.”
Everyone in the carriage laughed. In Dorothy’s detective novel, in addition to matching “Detective Hamilton” with a “blond reporter lady” as a partner and romantic partner , and also created an aristocratic woman whose name was not mentioned but who was very powerful in the city as a helper.
After a certain incident, the “Detective Hamilton” in the story was about to be imprisoned because of a frame-up that seemed to kill the criminals. The nameless aristocratic woman was mentioned for the first time and came to help. Information about the nobles can always be provided in their investigations.
There is never a positive description of her in the book. She appears very rarely. Most of them are contacted through a black-haired maid. Even the title is probably named “that lady” out of Lesia’s “malice”. . People in Tobesk City who have read “Hamilton’s Detective Stories” all know that the “lady” in the book is based on Grand Duchess Carina Cavendish, so Emilia’s statement does not actually make sense. Question. It is said that because of this half-hidden mystery, “Steambird Daily” received more letters from readers expressing support for “that lady” than for the “blonde reporter lady” portrayed by Dorothy. .
Anyway, the group of people entered the manor. Miss Carina came here to confirm the situation of the manor, and it was just a coincidence that she met Shade.
Although the original owner of the manor has passed away, there are still enough servants working here.
Shad asked Emilia to wait in the study, while Tifa talked to her there. Shade went to the reception room alone with Miss Carina, and the witch teased:
“Shad, have you changed your taste recently? That girl is a pure-blood elf, right? She looks younger than Agelina.”
As expected, the camouflage spell is not effective against witches of the twelfth level.
“It’s a pure-blood elf, but don’t get me wrong, this is a student from the academy for a summer internship. We happened to meet you and we are in trouble.”
Shad briefly talked about the curse of the letter, and Miss Carina naturally knew about this relic:
“Is this kind of thing also appearing in Tobesk? It’s true in recent years. You and the elf lady will have a cup of tea with me, and I’ll ask Tifa to find out who sent the letter from here.”
As he spoke, he came closer to Sha De and sniffed, and looked at him suspiciously with his beautiful big golden eyes:
“I didn’t smell the scent of that elf girl. Are you really just friends?”
The corners of Xia De’s mouth trembled:
“Please don’t think of all the girls of marriageable age around me as my close friends. There is another thing, I need Sirius’ help.”
He also talked about the fragments of the poem and the matter of Hawthorne whose memory had been erased. Miss Carina was very concerned about the possibility of the “light” candidate appearing in Moon Bay. Miss Belindel obviously had not yet There was time to say it in Parliament. As for Shade’s request for help from Siris, she also promised to talk to Miss Benanis at the next meeting.
Then the two returned to the study. Emilia, who was smiling and talking to Tifa, saw Miss Carina coming back and immediately stood up nervously. She seemed to be a little afraid of Carina. Miss.
Since the sender’s address is this manor, and considering that the rules require that the address cannot be false, then the person Shade and Amelia are looking for must be a servant who lives here.
So Tifa took the duchess’s personal maids to inquire, while Miss Carina continued chatting with Shade and Emilia in the study. She hasn’t shown herself to be a Ringmancer, but Emilia is still afraid of her.
Not long after, the black-haired head maid sent back the news. Although the target was found, the manservant committed suicide in the Auxerre River in the city three days ago. Fortunately, all his belongings were still here, so Shade got up and went to check the things left by the male servant who committed suicide. The young elf girl tugged on the hem of Shade’s clothes and wanted to follow him, but was called by Miss Carina. Lived:
“Let the detective investigate on his own, we can just wait here. Men should concentrate on their work, Shade understands this very well, right?”
She gave Tifa a look, and the maids gathered around Shade and left without giving Shade a chance to call Emilia.
The nervous blond elf had no choice but to sit there holding the tea cup, lowering his head and not knowing what to say.
Miss Carina asked with a smile:
“You seem a little afraid of me?”
“Your temperament is very similar to that of the librarian of our college.”
Emilia said softly, it seemed that if Miss Carina teased her again, she might really shed tears with red eyes.
Xia De didn’t leave for a long time, and soon came back with another letter. It was a cursed letter received by the manservant. Although it was burned, he used the “Breath of Time” to pour out the ashes in the brazier under the bed and successfully restored the rest of the letter except for the stamps.
In this way, although Emilia cannot personally get rid of the person who wrote to her, they can continue to trace upwards.
Seeing Shade come back, Emilia grabbed his sleeve as if she had found a savior and refused to let go. The evil witch looked at this scene with a smile:
“I didn’t expect that the servants of this manor would do such a prank of mailing curse letters. Shade, can you give me the address of this beautiful blonde girl? I will visit her in person after a while and send her a letter. An apology gift.”
“No need, really no need.”
The young elf immediately shook his head, and the smile on the witch’s face became even wider:
“But I still have to make up for it. I will send the apology gift to Shade and let Shade give it to you. Detective, I have something else to do next, so I won’t participate in your ‘detective game’. I wish you all the best.” Have fun.”
She was not worried at all that Shade couldn’t deal with this relic.
It wasn’t until she was sent away from the manor by carriage that Emilia’s nervousness eased a little. Looking at the surrounding scenery from the car window and reaching the street, she patted her chest and admitted to Shade:
“Is this the aura of the Duchess? It feels almost as oppressive as Professor Daniste.”
“Carina is actually a very easy-going person.”
But Emilia doesn’t believe it:
“There are no nobles in the academy. Well, I can be considered a noble, but the concept of nobles among elves is different from that of humans. Shade, I didn’t expect you to know such a powerful person. I heard Mrs. Sangmei from the hotel say, That duchess is your lover.”
“Cough cough, cough cough.”
Shad coughed to cover up his embarrassment. Although almost everyone in the city didn’t know about this, Shad still couldn’t adapt to Emilia saying it like this.
