Chapter 1209

Mr. Osenfurt shook his head and put the ring back on his rough finger:

"Thank you for your kindness. Hela and I... once had something happen. Did she not let you say this? She is always like this, but I still regret that you didn't tell the truth. I thought you could become friends."

Listening to his words, Xia De looked at Mr. Osenfurt's friends who were setting fire, trying not to let himself show too contemptuous expression:

"For me, you and your wife are just strangers. I met her first, so I agreed to her request."

"You sympathize with my wife? Guessing that our relationship has problems?"

Mr. Osenfurt frowned and asked, his gray-blue eyes a bit reddish because of the reflection of the firelight. Xia De smiled:

"I am not someone who likes to meddle in other people's business, and compared to me, your wife is clearly more understanding of you. Of course, I will pity a woman whose feelings have been frustrated, but I don't understand you at all, and I don't know any other information about you except your names. In this case, speculating about other people's situations with one's own ideas, and even taking the initiative to reach out to help others, is a behavior that only knights have."

For Xia De, at least someone must explicitly ask him for help and offer a clear price - even if it's just 1 penny, he will consider whether to help.

【Last summer, when you helped that woman find her child, you didn't consider the price.】 "She" suddenly said with a smile.

"That time was for psychological satisfaction, and that woman was not strange at all." Xia De responded in his heart, and Mr. Osenfurt nodded:

"I probably understand what kind of person you are. Compared to a writer, you are actually more suitable to be a detective."

"Coincidentally, I am conceiving a detective. Just like that 'Hamilton Detective Story Collection' in Delarion, the thing of eating for a lifetime with one book is really enviable."

After speaking, Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Mr. Osenfurt, did you invite me here today really to talk to me about 【Origin · Earth】?"

He looked at the increasingly prosperous fire scene again:

"If there is nothing else, I think it's time to leave." "It is indeed related to 【Origin · Earth】."

Mr. Osenfurt stopped him, took back the ring, and hugged his strong arms on his chest again:

"【Origin · Earth】 is not in my hands, but I know who has it. Help me do some things, and I can tell you how to find him."

"I won't set fire." "No, not arson." "Why find me?" Xia De pointed to himself:

"I said, I am just an ordinary writer." "But you won me, twice."

Osenfurt took out a die from his pocket, his face unusually serious, which greatly increased his fierce appearance: "You won me, proving that you are better than me. If you don't believe it..."

He looked at the guns and swords tied to his and his companions' horses.

"I won't fight guns or compare swordsmanship with you here. I don't know these." Xia De said immediately, so Stone Osenfurt took out a die from his pocket: "Let's guess the size of the points. Let's see who guesses closer. I guess 1."

Xia De frowned: "6."

That die, which seemed to be ivory, was thrown out and fell directly to the ground. After jumping a few times, it touched the ground crack and stopped. The side facing up was 5.

Xia De remained silent, and Osenfurt snorted:

"Sure enough... help me find some things. Two years ago, when I married Hela, in addition to this family heirloom ring, I also gave her the ancestral 'Carsenrick Third-Class War Hero Medal' - probably obtained by an ancestor 300 years ago in a battle with Delarion, and a sapphire earring inlaid with glass. The main body is a sapphire, and a drop of my blood is sealed in the glass pendant..."

This sounds quite romantic.

"These three items are all lost. Don't ask the reason; that is my family affair. Now that the ring has been found by you, if you can bring the other two to me, you will know who has 【Origin · Earth】. And, I have confidence in convincing the other party to give it to you."

"They were also thrown into the river

?"

"It may be in the river, but it may also be in any corner of this city. I can only guarantee that the medal and the earring

are still in Randell Valley. Originally I didn't think about letting them come back, but since you found the ring, I think you might also find the other two items."

Xia De pursed his lips and was silent for a while:

"I accept this deal, but I don't guarantee that I will definitely find them. After all, I am the writer John Watson, not the famous detective Rejeder Hamilton in the storybook."

"It doesn't matter, whether it can be found is not particularly important to me. Later, I will send photos of the two pieces of jewelry to the Abundant Earth Hotel."

"Okay, then it's a deal. Happy cooperation."

Xia De reached out to him, and Mr. Osenfurt was a bit surprised, but he also reached out and held him.

Just as Xia De thought, Mr. Osenfurt's hands were unusually rough. Xia De certainly didn't have Director Anluosi's means of judging other people's occupations by shaking hands, but he could also judge that the other party was more suitable for holding a knife or a gun.

【Ordinary person, at least judging from the current contact, is an ordinary person.】

The two didn't let go after shaking hands, Mr. Osenfurt suddenly exerted force:

"After finding the other two pieces of jewelry, just give them to me, don't give them to my wife. In addition to 【Origin · Earth】, I can give you an extra reward."

"Thank you for your generosity. In addition, please don't invite me to this kind of place next time. I will think you are trying to threaten me."

Feeling the force on his palm, Xia De also exerted force slightly.

The firelight illuminated the side faces of the two men shaking hands, Stone Osenfurt frowned slightly, and Xia De stared at him. The fire made the faces of the two in the shadows have the illusion of shaking, and the sunset had fallen below the city at this time, and the increasingly clear shadows also swayed with the firelight.

Five seconds later, Xia De and Mr. Osenfurt let go of each other's hands. Xia De didn't use his full strength, so he was slightly at a disadvantage. But considering his self-proclaimed writer profession, this "slightly at a disadvantage" was also normal.

"The strength is not bad, you don't look like a writer."

"A writer traveling in the Old Continent, if he doesn't have strength, he doesn't know where he has been buried long ago. I never underestimate the risks of traveling alone."

"Then I will wait for your good news."

Mr. Osenfurt said, Xia De nodded, and turned to walk towards the horse tied in the forest.

When riding back to the city, Xia De was still thinking about Mr. Osenfurt. This man definitely has a problem. This is the hint given by Xia De's sixth sense. Moreover, every person who has been associated with 【Cards of All Things】 in the past is not a normal person, and he will not be lucky.

And the only problem now is, what is his problem:

"Is he a chosen one? But Luvia said that the chosen one cannot be an ordinary person."

When riding back to the city, the sky was completely dark. As Xia De rode past the street lamps one by one, the dim yellow lights lit up one after another, providing light for the city at night.

In the Wilde Opera House, Miss Bernice was guiding the young girls of the troupe to rehearse a new opera. Xia De noticed that she used the unicorn song he brought back from the Fifth Era.

"Is Miss Lasers here?"

Xia De also walked into the small hall on the side of the second floor. Miss Bernice let the girls singing loudly on the stage take a break, and then greeted Xia De to sit in the front row to talk:

"Why, do you have something to find her? What private matters can you and Siris have?" The tone was a bit wrong when she said it, but fortunately Xia De didn't hear it at all:

"I want to trace a perfectly carved stone sculpture, which may be related to the Stonemason Association." He took out the photo of the statue, and Miss Bernice glanced at it:

"Too blurry, I have no impression. She represents me to attend the banquet, this time it is Earl Johnson of the local area, inviting Prince William Anjou and Margaret to the banquet, and it seems he also wants to introduce his daughter to William Anjou. If you are in a hurry to find her, just go directly. I have an invitation here."

"Not in a hurry, I still have to use a time key in a while, it's the same tomorrow morning." Xia De said slightly easily:

"After all, today is Sunday, and there is no need to

force yourself too hard."

"I always feel that you are very busy, always running around, with a serious face. If you have nothing to do tonight, how about staying here to watch the rehearsal? If you want to hear me sing, I can sing to you like last week." The blonde great witch smiled, wanting to return the photo to Xia De, but after looking at it carefully, she felt the face of the statue was very familiar:

"This looks a bit like Siris's father, Owen Lasers, you can ask her."

When Xia De took out the photo of "Mr. Thomas Granger" last time, Miss Bernice also let Miss Lasers take a look to see if it was her missing father.

"Does it look like it?"

"I haven't seen that Mr. Owen Lasers, just seen old photos. And, your statue photo is too blurry, I can't be sure. Besides, in my opinion, men of this age generally only have a few types of looks, without height, weight, and clothing, it is difficult to judge identity."

Witches really have no interest in men:

"So, I can only say it looks like it, but I can't be sure."

Xia De nodded, very strange why the statue of Miss Lasers' missing father would be in the church, so he asked casually again:

"I have always heard that Miss Lasers is the leader of a certain old god cult. May I ask which old god she believes in?"

After the question was asked, Xia De blinked, very strange why he had never asked this question for so long. But thinking about it carefully, this question doesn't seem to be important either.

"Hmm?"

When he realized the things he had subconsciously ignored, and realized the influence of "forgetting" and "ignoring", his whole person seemed to be struck by thunder, and it seemed to be hit on the face by Little Mia. The train of thought was quickly opened, and the thoughts that had been ignored time and time again were finally completely clear at this moment.
