Chapter 244
Miss Miss Beiyasi arrived just before eight o'clock. When she followed Xia De upstairs, Xia De noticed that her hair was still wet. After sitting down, she complained to Xia De and Miss Annette:
"Our team received a temporary mission this afternoon and was sent to the sewer in the north of the city to catch some bold guys selling contraband. Do you know the smell in the underground pipes of Tobesk?"
She made a very indescribable expression:
"You'd better never know. After the mission ended, I went home and washed for a full hour before I felt that the smell had faded."
"There is no strange smell now."
Miss Annette said, while Xia De went to the kitchen to get her some bread. Miss Miss Beiyasi came over on an empty stomach, and even her hair hadn't been dried.
"That's because I used perfume, very expensive perfume."
She tried to use her hand to gesture the shape of the perfume bottle:
"Imported goods from Kasenrik, a small bottle cost 3 pounds. That was a gift I gave myself on my birthday last year. Actually, when I used it, I didn't feel it was worth this price."
She took the bread handed by Xia De, thanked him softly, and shook the bread at Mia squatting on the back of the sofa. But the cat food of the orange cat was much more expensive than the cheap bread Xia De bought, so it would not be attracted by this kind of temptation at all.
"Did you catch anyone in the end?"
Xia De asked when he sat down.
"Caught them, everyone was very angry at the time, and when catching them, they deliberately didn't pay attention and used heavy hands... You just pretend you didn't hear it."
She waved her hand embarrassedly, and Xia De couldn't help but show a smile.
"What kind of contraband were they selling?"
Miss Annette asked again.
"I don't know either, the captain refused to say, and told us with a straight face that it was a secret. However, when catching people, we conducted a body search and found red salt packed in small bottles. That is probably what they were preparing to sell. If you encounter it recently, remember to report it to me, and I can share the reward with you."
While Miss Miss Beiyasi was eating bread, Xia De confirmed with Miss Annette the preparations they had made for tomorrow night's affairs.
Xia De learned the key Extraordinary Ability 【Laleg's Jump】, bought 【Bordeaux Candle】 from old John for 43 pounds, and borrowed a real Sage-level Relic 【Ancient Witch's Golden Necklace】.
Miss Annette recovered from the weakness after divination on Sunday night. She borrowed a compass that guides the direction from the society, borrowed a poet-level relic that can see through illusions from her friend, which looked like a monocle, and then got several steam bombs through the black market channel.
Steam bombs are completely useless for high-ring Ringed Shushi, but they might have some effect on the weak Silver-Eyed One.
"However, which friend of yours actually lent a Sage-level Relic directly?"
Looking at the jewelry box Xia De placed on the coffee table, Miss Miss Beiyasi and Miss Annette were both surprised. Although Sage-level (Level 2) and Keeper-level (Level 3) are only one level apart, the preciousness of the former is self-evident:
"Even for a high-ring Ringed Shushi, this relic has considerable attraction. The other party actually lent it to you directly? Why don't I have such a friend?"
"Of course there is a price."
Xia De explained about his need to attend a charity banquet first tomorrow night.
Miss Annette and Miss Miss Beiyasi didn't object, but hoped that Xia De could stay at that banquet all the time. Compared to breaking into the ruins with them, a banquet with the Orthodox Church ensuring safety is where he should be.
They were worried about Xia De's safety, but Xia De was determined to get the gift left to him by the god of the Fifth Era.
Miss Annette took out her notebook:
"I have investigated that ruin these days and have new discoveries. Since you have other arrangements, the plan needs to be adjusted. Now let me see, the originally scheduled action plan... At the same time, we have to calibrate the pocket watch, Xia De, you do this. Oh, there are really too many things, we will be busy tonight."
She shook her head in annoyance, while Xia De looked at the stormy night outside the window, hesitated and suggested:
"Why don't you stay at my place tonight, my house is very big. The weather outside is so bad, I think there is no need to go back late..."
After speaking, he emphasized:
"I didn't say this for any other reason."
"It doesn't matter, your Ringed Ringed Shushi level is lower than ours, even if you do bad things, it won't be your turn."
Miss Annette waved her hand and joked, and Miss Miss Beiyasi also nodded with a smile:
"That's right, this idea is indeed good. But we have to go home to get a change of clothes in a while, so that we can ensure that we are always together before the action tomorrow night."
It's just that although the house at St. Deran Square is big, there are only two beds. Xia De's bed in the secondary bedroom is the larger one, which can be changed with new bedding for the two girls to squeeze in, and he can only sleep on Detective Sparrow's small bed.
【I thought you would have some psychological shadow about that bed.】
"There are three Ringed Ringed Shushi here tonight, if there really is a ghost, the one who is unlucky must be Sparrow."
The girls got up to prepare to go home to get a change of clothes and things for dressing up. Xia De also stood up and thought of one more thing:
"Oh, speaking of which, can I ask your weight."
When proposing to stay here overnight, they were not very vigilant, but this question made the two girls with brown hair vigilant:
"This is not polite, Xia De."
Miss Miss Beiyasi said reproachfully.
"No, no, it's about the candle, I got a very good candle."
That night, they talked until dawn before going to rest separately. Xia De's candle can help the three of them hide together, and others also got good relics, which can help them make targeted adjustments to the plan.
And besides discussing the plan and arrangements for tomorrow night, Miss Miss Beiyasi also returned the 【Witch's Copy Paper】 that had branded the Extraordinary Ability 【Sun Great Sword】 of the thirteen-ring Ringed Mage to Xia De.
According to the characteristics of this relic, Xia De burned the copy paper, mixed the remaining ash into the water, and stirred it constantly, and finally drank it all without a drop left while holding his nose.
After drinking it, he got a little hint from the voice in his head. He tilted his head and thought for a while, stretched out his right index finger, and the slender silver moon light jumped out from the fingertip like a short knife. After experimenting a little, the blade that came out of the fingertip had quite good cutting performance, and without the blessing of 【Ancient Witch's Golden Necklace】, the ability to break defense also exceeded 【Silver Moon Slash】.
This Extraordinary Ability should be a melee ability, which can be matched with 【Blade of Chaotic Time】. Moreover, Xia De could feel that the Witch's Copy Paper was still digesting, and the current harvest was only the prototype of the Extraordinary Ability.
It needs a "digestion" process to fully master the Extraordinary Ability. It is not the digestion of the stomach, but the soul digesting that power. Miss Miss Beiyasi investigated the information of 【Witch's Copy Paper】. According to the records, since it could have such power at the beginning, his harvest should not be so simple, and it is very likely to be a powerful Extraordinary Ability extremely close to 【Sun Great Sword】.
What he finally gets depends on the type of Xia De's own spirit runes and his strongest thoughts. He is full of expectations for this.
"The action tomorrow night will definitely not have any problems."
This was Xia De's thought when he lay in the master bedroom of Room 1 on the second floor, preparing to sleep.
The cat lying on the pillow was the one that just ran over. Mia knew that Xia De went to the washroom to wash up and knew he was preparing to rest, so it rushed into his room. But after a while, seeing that the person entering the door was not Xia De but a woman, it rushed out of the bedroom door and found Xia De in the next room.
It seems that this cat probably misunderstood that Miss Miss Beiyasi and Miss Annette killed Xia De and occupied this house.
But fortunately, little Mia doesn't recognize the bed, and its speed of falling asleep is faster than Xia De. And Xia De, who was thinking about things, lay with his eyes closed for a long time before falling asleep.
And at this time, the rain outside was still falling.
(Little Mia is running...)
It seemed that opening and closing eyes were within two or three seconds. There was still the sound of rain hitting the window in his ears. Listening carefully, the weak and even breathing sound of the cat could also be detected.
Xia De opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The Extraordinary Ability told him that the time was five o'clock on Thursday morning. He only slept for less than four hours, but waking up at this time, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Is it still raining? I hope it won't affect the things tonight."
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar ceiling, after a long time, he tiptoed away from the bed. The cat, which was very alert when sleeping, was of course awakened, but stood up and looked around and found no danger, then tilted and fell beside the pillow.
This is Detective Sparrow Hamilton's bedroom. After the detective passed away, Xia De only occasionally came here to clean the room or came here to find the information left by the previous detective.
This was the first time Xia De saw the morning of this room. When sitting on the edge of the bed, he was still curiously thinking about whether Detective Sparrow's mood when he woke up every morning and saw the room in front of him was the same as his now.
Because there were other people at home, Xia De also tried his best not to make a sound when walking out of the room. It was still early, and it was still raining outside, so the living room without lights seemed a bit dim.
Scanning the surroundings at the bedroom door, the door of the room where the girls rested was still closed, so they should still be sleeping.
Waking up too early, Xia De didn't know what he should do now. Standing in the living room and looking around again, then saw the door actually opened a crack:
"Did someone go out?"
Stepping on slippers and coming to the corridor on the second floor, there were no lights downstairs, but the door of Room 2 on the second floor next door was also open.
Xia De pushed the door and entered. The room without gas lights and furniture was empty and a bit cold. The sound of rain here seemed to be louder than the sound of rain next door.
He saw Miss Miss Beiyasi standing in front of the window at a glance.
The girl with long brown hair stood in front of the window, holding a teacup in one hand and supporting the elbow of the other hand. Her somewhat hoarse voice blended perfectly with the background rain sound:
"I couldn't sleep a bit at night, so I wanted to watch the rain."
