Chapter 121: Luxurious Commission

~8 min read 1,466 words

"It's not a coincidence. The Ringed Shushi of the Orthodox Church entrusted me to help her sneak in here."

The other party could feel Xia De using miracles across a floor, so Xia De didn't doubt that the other party knew about Miss Beias, so he didn't hide it.

"That Second-Ring female Shushi of the Sun Church? Young people are always like this."

Sure enough, Xia De's guess was correct.

"What you do has nothing to do with me, and what you and your friends did at Lakeview Manor has nothing to do with me. Detective, let's go back to business. Finding you this time is actually just for a private commission."

"Please speak, I will try my best to complete it. Thank you very much for helping me and my friends leave at Lakeview Manor."

Xia De said very cautiously.

"No need to thank me, that's just a small matter. As for today's matter, it is actually related to Mercury Blood. It's a coincidence that they have another thing I'm interested in."

Xia De pursed his lips, not knowing whether he should mourn for that group of unlucky guys.

"This time it's just a poet-level relic. No need to snatch it. I have already negotiated with the other party. Tomorrow, which is Friday midnight, is the handover. You go and take it for me."

Xia De hesitated for a while before asking:

"Sorry, why me... no, I don't want to shirk, it's just that, my meaning is, for a distinguished person like you, there shouldn't be a lack of people who can do things."

"I don't want the other party to know my true identity, and you are the Ringed Shushi I think I can trust who has the least connection with me. And you are very reliable, and your ability is also very strong... no, I know nothing about Lakeview Manor, and I have not been paying attention to the third floor, nor did I go to the third floor when you were thrown into the banquet hall. You don't have to doubt this point."

Saying this, she actually laughed lightly. She really knew what Xia De did that night.

"Hmm..."

Xia De should have thought of it long ago. The strongest Ringed Shushi present at that time was not Mrs. Lasoya or the Silver-Eyed One later. The five of them and the Mercury Blood group did so many things that night, and no one knew that all this was in the eyes of this woman.

"Detective, the reward this time is 10 Jin Bang. In addition, I can give you some free intelligence. Don't feel it's too little. After all, this matter has no difficulty."

Xia De didn't feel it was too little, just felt that the other party's cognition of money was very different from his own. The alimony for Xiao Miya sent by Miya, the cat lover, was only this number.

He heard the sound of pouring tea from behind the door, and guessed in his heart that the beautiful black-haired maid was also there this time.

"I accept the commission, just hope there will be no accidents. That is Mercury Blood after all."

"There will be no accidents. With the Silver-Eyed One seriously injured and the whole organization being pursued by the Orthodox Church, they dare not make any other things. Moreover, calling the Evil God within the city range, they have angered the public. The Ringed Shushi of Tobesk are not just the Orthodox Church and the correspondence students of the Academy."

The woman's voice came from behind the door, followed by the sound of drinking tea, and then continued the topic.

"As for the free intelligence, let me think about what you can know... Do you know the 【Blood Spirit School】?"

"Heard of it, it seems to be an organization with ancient heritage, pursuing the evolution of blood."

This was heard from the doctor and them on Tuesday morning.

"【Blood Spirit School】 is indeed related to 【Mercury Blood】, but don't worry, they are busy with another big thing in the New Continent. This time they only sent small fries. An Eight-Ring Shushi was sent to Tobesk after the Lakeview Manor accident to help Mercury Blood. The other party is probably still on the way, and seems to be carrying an extraordinary relic. Regarding 【Blood Spirit School】, you seem to know a lot... very ancient, they participated in some important things in the distant era, and are one of the few guys in this era who know the ancient secrets and are crazy about it."

"What ancient secrets? Oh, I know, you can't tell me."

Xia De said, knowing he had made a slip of the tongue.

"Why can't I tell you?"

The lady behind the door laughed:

"The high-level officials of the Academy and the Church all know these secrets, and I appreciate you, so I think you will know sooner or later. This is related to the fall of the Old God that has continued from the end of the Third Era to the Fifth Era. The history of the Blood Spirit School is longer than generally recognized. For more things, you cannot know. After all, knowledge has weight."

"Thank you for your knowledge."

Xia De said, his vigilance against 【Blood Spirit School】 increased again in his heart. He hadn't encountered the other party yet, but he already understood how troublesome the other party was.

Subsequently, it was indeed the maid with black long hair who walked out of the door and gave Xia De an envelope while he was sitting on the sofa. Inside was the specific information about the transaction tomorrow night and 10 Jin Bang in banknotes.

Xia De took a look. The transaction location was on the Diske Bridge in the city. Diske Bridge connects the Terraril River that runs through Tobesk city. It is a cable-stayed tower bridge, 30 minutes' walk from St. Deran Square.

"May I know the specific information of that relic? To facilitate confirmation that what the other party gives is not a forgery."

He asked again.

"Poet-level relic - 【Mary Jane's Makeup Box】, can prepare any cosmetics the user has come into contact with, but only for women. After you get the goods, go home directly, and I will let Tifa, my personal maid, go to get it. I am not often here, this is just a foothold."

"Okay, lady."

Xia De secretly complained about the extravagance and waste of wealthy noble women in his heart, but kept his respect on the surface.

"Lady, actually I want to ask about Mr. Lawrence who disappeared here... My companion came for this matter, hope it didn't offend you."

"It doesn't matter, this is not my industry, do whatever you want. As for the missing person you mentioned, let me see... there are residual blood stains in the third room on the left hand side of the stairs on the first floor, your eyes can see. It is your business to pursue Mercury Blood, but don't delay the transaction tomorrow night for this, and don't lead the Orthodox Church's Ringed Shushi team to ambush the transaction because of this."

"I am an Academy-style Ringed Shushi, and will not easily intervene in such matters."

Xia De said, standing up wanting to say goodbye, but "that lady" had more to say:

"Did you borrow the excuse to see me just now because you have three Luo De Pai cards with special rules in your hand?"

Her voice sounded lazy, unlike the rigidity when talking about business just now.

"Yes."

Xia De answered softly. He didn't want to lie. Although Founding: Silver Moon is expensive, according to the communication experience with the lady behind the door, he didn't think the other party would rob. Moreover, lying would be easily dismantled.

If it were before the commission just now, he would probably consider whether to take out 【Founding: Silver Moon】. But this meeting again made him confirm that "that lady" still has principles.

As for whether the bottom line of the other party's principles would be broken by high-value cards, Xia De was not sure, but he didn't think the other party would suddenly kill and rob.

The lady behind the door didn't speak again, and the black-haired maid walked out. Xia De handed 【Ancient Fairy Tale: Match Girl】, 【Northern City: Coldwater Port】, and 【Founding: Silver Moon】 to her. The black-haired maid was also stunned when she saw the card face of the latter, looked up at Xia De, but didn't say anything and turned back to the small room inside the study.

"I don't like Luo De Pai, collecting special cards is just for..."

The lady said casually while waiting, but her voice stopped abruptly:

"Founding? This... is it genuine?" ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
