Chapter 91: Treatment and Wounded

Besides the above doubts, if you think along this line of thought, it's possible that buying 6 Saint Deland Square was the result of the spy organization's operation; and "being good at investigating mistresses and extramarital affairs" might also be a preference deliberately chosen by the detective to approach nobles and eavesdrop on secrets. And the reason he finally died was that he tried his best to complete a noble's commission, which could also confirm Xia De's conjecture.

It's just that if this idea is correct, then Detective Sparrow's mission, whether it was to lie in ambush waiting to be awakened, or simply to let him infiltrate the upper layers of Tobesk, or waiting for an opportunity to join a certain event—all these vanished with the detective's accidental death.

As for 【Creation · Silver Moon】, it's temporarily unclear whether it was the detective's own hobby, or a stepping stone he used to knock open the door to the upper society after sneaking into Tobesk for three years.

"But these are just conjectures."

Xia De walked into the room, preparing to take a broom to clean up the first floor:

"No matter what, Sparrow Hamilton is already dead. The secrets belonging to him only remain in that letter that will be mailed in September. The current guesses are just guesses. He was able to find the original owner months in advance, and certainly could also destroy items related to his identity months in advance..."

Thinking of this, the fact that Sparrow specifically found the original owner Xia De, whose head had problems, also seemed to be explained clearly:

"Could it be that he was in single-line contact with the Kassenrik side, and was a long-term hidden undercover agent, not arranged for a mission until the critical moment, so after the accident, he couldn't immediately notify his superior that he was about to die, so he could only find a vagrant whose head had problems, using whether the seemingly ordinary letter in September was replied to as a confirmation of his safety."

Xia De was almost certain that his idea had more than a fifty percent probability of being correct.

But now there was no evidence to prove these points, unless he was crazy enough to report Detective Sparrow, and then let his own life be affected:

"However, perhaps Miss Anate's divination could play a role."

He thought in his heart:

"No need to let her make that kind of divination that requires paying a price; just ordinary divination might be able to provide clues related to Detective Sparrow."

Thinking that he didn't have to wait until September to reveal this secret, the mood at this moment was even better than when he found the wallet just now.

Among the four free spells provided by the Academy to Xia De, 【Perception of Time】 lacked materials and couldn't be learned, while 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift】 required a very harsh moon phase environment to learn.

When preparing a midnight snack for little Mia, Xia De noticed that the cat was licking the bleeding wound on the back of his hand. While worrying about his own health, he wanted to try to learn this treatment-type ability. Tonight was just right.

He took out the silver liquid from the drawer in the study. This liquid was called "Silver Moon Moon Essence" by the Academy. If purchased normally, this small bottle of 0.5 fluid ounces (about 14.2ml) of liquid would cost 14 pounds and 3 shillings at the Academy.

Opening the living room curtains, he bathed himself in the moonlight of the three colors. He extended his right arm, then removed the cat that had suddenly jumped onto his arm, letting the back of his right hand be in the moonlight.

The learning requirement for this ability was to have a wound on one's own body. In the current situation, he didn't have to deliberately hurt himself.

Carefully pouring those Moon Essence liquids onto the wound, the liquid didn't flow down along the back of his hand but gathered entirely at the wound. Xia De took a deep breath, picked up the prepared match from the windowsill, struck it lightly against the wall to light it, and then very carefully poked the burning match head toward the wound gathered by the silver liquid with the back of his right hand downward.

"Tsk~"

The match went out due to the pressure, and the Moon Essence liquid all surged into the wound. The ability was successfully learned.

Xia De felt the new power and saw that the wound on the back of his hand was still there, so he recited the awkward incantation he understood as "Praise the Moon" in a low voice. A faint silver light appeared on his left hand, and he immediately covered the back of his right hand with his left hand.

After a few minutes, he separated his hands, shaking his right hand, looking at the wound which only had shallow traces left, which would probably heal itself soon. The spell 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift】 actually leaned more toward using the nature of the silver moon to perform mental and soul healing, and physical treatment was considered an incidental effect, so the effect wasn't considered very good.

After all, among the three moons, the red moon represented the meaning of "flesh and blood," and the spells of the red moon were better at physical treatment.

"Meow~"

Little Mia scratched his trouser leg quickly at Xia De's feet. Xia De, who had learned the brand-new spell, picked it up, preparing to wash up and

The 【Blood of Mercury】 incident had temporarily come to an end; he had found Mr. Sparrow's legacy, his learning as a Ring Mage was on the right track, and he even had a goal for a long time to come. Xia De had no complaints about such a life; just as he had thought when he first left St. Deran Square and saw this era and this world, everything would be alright.

The next day was Tuesday. The matter of the Lake View Manor had temporarily come to an end, and Xia De's life had returned to calm once more.

The most important thing today was to visit the severely injured Doctor Schneider, but although he had become free, the other two commissions left behind by Detective Sparrow could not yet be completed.

The detective's intention was for Xia De to gradually complete four commissions in the two months before September to maintain the surface operations of the firm, so the remaining two commissions were not things that could be easily completed right now.

He planned to wait until the end of this month or the beginning of next month before taking action.

Xia De fed the cat early, went first to the post office to send a letter to the Lucky Southern Cross Club to explain that he had awakened, and only then did he meet up with Priest Ao Gu Si in front of the Dawn Cathedral, which was a twenty-minute walk from St. Deran Square.

The Dawn Cathedral was located in the center of Dawn Square and could be considered a landmark building of Tobesk. Even if they were not believers, people would be awed by the cathedral's magnificent architecture when passing by. Of course, according to Priest Ao Gu Si, this building itself possessed power, and evil spirits and wicked things had nowhere to hide within the cathedral. Therefore, the reason people were awed by the magnificent architecture was likely also due to the influence of supernatural power.

Although it was still early morning, the flow of people in front of the Dawn Cathedral was already like weaving fabric, with gentlemen of the upper class dressed decently mingling with ordinary citizens, entering and exiting the cathedral gate engraved with a huge holy emblem.

Having heard the priest mention it yesterday, the Dawn Church's most important religious festival—the Holy Prayer Day—would be held in late July, and believers who wanted to participate in cathedral activities would frequently come here recently.

Xia De did not know whether it was necessary to carry some gifts when visiting a patient in this world. Since he had found the money left behind by Detective Sparrow, he had once thought about whether to buy some fruit or eggs or something similar on the way to the cathedral, but he still arrived empty-handed when he reached his destination.

He then thought about asking him to pick a few beautiful flowers from the cathedral's garden after meeting Priest Ao Gu Si. But after seeing the old priest, he felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Priest Ao Gu Si also had no intention of buying gifts; after meeting up with Xia De, he took a carriage directly to Doctor Schneider's clinic.
