Chapter 3866

Besides learning from Danister, Xia De also didn't forget to visit Sister Daifulin from time to time during this rare "holiday."

The thirteen-ring nun could now teach Xia De more knowledge and abilities, and she could already ignore any conditions and open the door to "True Death" anytime, anywhere.

However, the nun had not been busy continuing to refine her power recently. Now that there were only the last two flames left to be recovered, she hoped to make the Primordial Fire truly complete as soon as possible. It was just that even with the secret method of perceiving the initial fire taught by Sister Beilun, it was not simple to find the traces of the remaining two flames.

But at least Sister Daifulin believed that the secret method was useful; she needed time to perform precise positioning.

As for the relationship between Xia De and Sister Daifulin, after experiencing the "kiss" incident when Xia De gave the flame, the two did not show anything different from the past when they met again. But the other nuns in the mountain peak sacrificial ground clearly felt that the distance between the two was much closer than before when they "saw" the two walking together.

Once Xia De came to ask Sister Daifulin for advice again, the nun led him away from the sacrificial ground intending to go to the nun cemetery, when the two's hands accidentally touched, and Xia De hooked Sister Daifulin's hand. Sister Daifulin didn't break free, so they walked down along the steps like this.

Looking at it this way, Xia De was truly unable to turn back.

Focusing on academics, Xia De also made considerable progress in his "career." However, this time it was not that someone entrusted Xia De to investigate any case, but in the week the war broke out, Director Anluosi rarely visited No. 6 St. Deran Square.

Since parting at Fatumunster Island, Director Anluosi looked much more haggard, but Xia De also understood him very well. At this time, the King's punishment decision for MI6 had not yet been officially issued, but Director Anluosi had clearly foreseen what would happen later.

Xia De invited him into the house, originally thinking that his superior had come to ask for his help. With Xia De's current status, he could indeed help Director Anluosi say a few words, but Director Anluosi requested another matter:

"Not long from now, I might be transferred to another place for fieldwork, and someone else will take over my position as director. If possible..."

He looked at Xia De, took a deep breath:

"I have a case in my hand, I hope you can help handle it."

"Does this case have an impact on the appointment of the next director?"

Xia De asked, and Director Anluosi didn't hide it from Xia De:

"It has an impact. If this case can be investigated clearly within two weeks, perhaps I can temporarily stay in my current position."

He put the file bag he brought on the coffee table. Xia De touched the cat lying on his lap, not reaching out to take it. Director Anluosi wanted to use this method to reverse the situation that was unfavorable to him now; he had indeed come to ask for help. Although Xia De had a good impression of this superior, he didn't agree immediately:

"I will ask for Galina's opinion. If she doesn't object, Director, I would still prefer you to stay in office."

"That's good. Being able to get such a promise, Xia De, no matter what happens in the future, I will be the most loyal blade of you and the Duke."

This middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance stood up and bowed to Xia De across the coffee table, then grabbed his hat and left No. 6 St. Deran Square.

Xia De then went to consult Galina's opinion. The Duchess didn't give a very clear answer—

"I don't care, if you are willing to help Anluosi, it's no problem; if you don't want to help him, the new intelligence..."

Xia De then checked the case file out of curiosity, and then starting from the case of an elderly person living alone in an old apartment on the edge of the city committing suicide, discovered that the reason for the suicide was receiving fake money, and thus Xia De took the initiative to get involved in the major case that was later called the "1855 Counterfeit Case."

It was rainy in Tobesk this spring. In the rain, Xia De spent a week and a half looking for the source of the 1-pound counterfeit banknotes that had been appearing in the central region of Delarion since two years ago.

He marked the locations where the large number of counterfeit banknotes appeared on the map, and then used the inverse distance weighting method, assuming that "the closer the points, the more similar the characteristics," and through the coordinates and point density of the counterfeit money discovered by the existing MI6 intelligence, interpolated and calculated the probability value of the entire city grid.

The location of the next point tended to be in the grid with higher interpolation results, so Xia De estimated the area where the criminal might appear.

This method had great constraints, and the accuracy was not high, but the advantage was that it did not involve too much data calculation. But even so, Xia De just relied on himself to process those dense data coordinate points all over the map, which almost made him think he had returned to the days of preparing for exams in the past.

But fortunately, he finally succeeded in getting the result, and then relying on rigorous analysis, precise squatting, and patient waiting, he finally found the object holding the counterfeit money.

After finding the suspect, things were easy to solve. By tracking the object using the counterfeit money, Xia De found the factory printing counterfeit money located in the northeast of Tobesk step by step, and finally joined forces with the Ridgewick Field and MI6 to crack this shocking major case in one fell swoop.

"The above content is purely newspaper reporting; the actual situation is that Xia De asked me to help divine the location where the counterfeit money user might appear next, and then using this as a result, far-fetchedly gave the coordinate point calculation process."

This was what Luweiya said to Emilia, so the real credit should belong to the diviner.

But no matter what, this major counterfeit case that had plagued MI6 for a full three years finally came to an end. And those who made the counterfeit money were found to be supported by domestic rebels hiding in the New Continent.

Now the North-South War had broken out, and the rebels who had attempted a coup thirty years ago but were suppressed by the previous King raised their heads again, and Larus III also had a headache.

And the main person responsible for secretly investigating the rebels on the New Continent had always been Director Anluosi, so after a secret talk that no one knew about, Director Anluosi was suspended for investigation, and temporarily acted as the director of MI6 with suspended pay. If he could make a contribution, there would be a possibility of reinstatement in the future; but if there were any more mistakes later, he wouldn't even have the chance to be transferred to another place, and would probably be directly assigned to manage the Royal Mausoleum.

"Wait a minute, according to this, that Director Dac Anluosi knew from the beginning who the supporter behind the counterfeit case was?"

This was the night after the case ended, when Xia De and Margaret were eating in the tower in the snowy mountain. Sylvia didn't come because she was called away by Adele for a meeting, so there were only Xia De, Margaret, and Winnie in the tower. Recently, the relationship between the blonde princess and the ice maid had become better and better.

"If Director Anluosi didn't know who the supporter behind the counterfeit case was in advance, he couldn't have known to ask you to investigate this case, which could help him."

Margaret said, and Xia De nodded:

"I asked Director Anluosi afterwards, and he said that although he knew who the person behind it was, MI6 just couldn't catch them."

He shook his head:

"I also went to that counterfeit factory, and the equipment inside was very professional. However, the counterfeit money they produced still had flaws. When the MI6 expert explained the difference between the counterfeit money and the real money to me, he pointed out five or six places at once."

Margaret showed a smile:

"To produce real money, besides materials like paper and ink, the most important thing is the banknote printing master plate. Even if that group of people is capable, it is impossible for them to get the real goods from the mint."

She didn't realize that Xia De thought of some long-ago gift again, but asked with a smile:

"You cracked such a major case, didn't Larus III have any expression?"

"He gave me a large bonus, a pure gold honorary badge. Also, I originally had colonel-level treatment at MI6 (Chapter 1569), and now it has been adjusted to brigadier-level treatment. Besides that, there was nothing else. After all, with the relationship between Galina and me, he couldn't give too many things I needed."

"That's really stingy."

Margaret said softly, and the black silk stockings under the dinner table continued to rub against Xia De's leg. Seeing Xia De looking at her, the blonde girl smiled and asked:

"The touch is different from before, right? Teacher Sylvia's research has made new progress again, and the teacher said, let me help her try it first. Is Annalise coming over in a while? I also brought a pair of white ones."

Besides learning and investigating cases, maintaining interpersonal relationships was also something Xia De did daily.

Now the number of girls who had an intimate relationship with him in this era was already quite large, among whom Annalise, Galina, Luweiya, and Dorothea were all in Tobesk, and could be seen daily.

And Vanessa, Sylvia, Megan, and Sylvia were in different cities, but fortunately, they had successively mastered the space spirit runes, and would come to visit No. 6 St. Deran Square every few days. Sylvia would sometimes appear in the snowy mountain tower with Margaret, and once Vanessa even appeared with them.

Vanessa was very gratified:

"Margaret is the first among the witch apprentices, my apprentice should be bolder than me."

"Teacher~"

The blonde princess said shyly, but after she frolicked with Xia De together with the two teachers, she truly understood how amazing the "perfection" of a witch was, which also made Margaret firm in her idea of becoming a great witch in the future.

However, she had originally prepared to yield to the teacher when the apprentice had to be active at night, and do some shy things according to instructions when necessary. But when she was truly held by Xia De together, she realized that she had thought too much—

Who does the shy things does not depend on status, but only on Xia De's own thoughts.

At first, Margaret was a bit reserved, but later, after seeing Sylvia's exquisite space manipulation technique, she also learned to invest in multiplayer games.

It was just that Margaret was ultimately becoming busier because of the arrival of the war era, so besides Sylvia and Vanessa, she had only combined with Annalise and Dorothea, who ran to the snowy mountain to prepare to spend the "Day of the Red Butterfly" with Xia De.

The scene where the two princesses, one gold and one red, looked up at Xia De with a smile together, made Xia De, who was held by Dorothea from behind, unable to forget for a long time.
