Since there was a chance to chat, Xia De told what happened last night, which was a rainy night. Xia De kept his promise not to take away any irrelevant relics, and Miss Bei Yasi also reported the two names to the church this morning.
The ring wizard team that Miss Bei Yasi belonged to was not assigned to deal with this matter, but she also heard from her captain that the correspondence ring wizard broke into Mr. Ponton's house last night, killed the killer of Mercury Blood, and then left.
"Detective, I guessed it must be you. Your friends are really amazing. Judging from the traces of fighting at the scene, the other party hardly had a chance to fight back."
She sighed and looked out the window.
"Isn't it normal for three to beat one and win easily?"
Xia De asked while flipping through the book, and then gave a vivid example:
"The opponent is only a fourth-ring warlock. The gap in strength between us is not as big as that between Mouse and Mia. So when we found that he did not leave, he had already lost."
Miss Beatrice turned her head and glanced at the cat taking an afternoon nap on Shade's lap:
"In fact, the difference in strength between your cat and the mouse shouldn't be that big. It doesn't look like a cat that can catch mice..."
Miss Beatrice said, holding the teacup in her hand:
"Since we are on this topic, have you gotten any additional information from the killer? For example, the location of the Silver Eyed One."
"I wanted to tell you just now that there is a ring sorcerer in our team who is very good at interrogating intelligence. Unfortunately, the killer doesn't know where the Silver Eyed One is hiding. However, it can be confirmed that the Silver Eyed One who was injured by... the masked man under the Silver Moon has difficulty recovering from his injuries, so he doesn't even trust the people in his own organization."
He almost said he was here, but Miss Beatrice didn't hear it.
"Good news. This way, I will have a better chance of getting revenge myself."
The sorceress commented.
"Oh, and we also discovered the location of God's gift box."
Shade said again, waving at the fluttering snowflakes, and more snow fell. The snowfall had almost no effect on him. This was not magic, but just a minor function of the puzzle lock. It was a natural phenomenon caused by Shade's elements interfering with reality, which was more mysterious than magic.
Miss Beatrice waved her hand with her back to Shade:
“You don’t have to tell me the exact location. Once the church knows the location of the relic, they will definitely go looking for it, and they will definitely succeed. But if that happens, the Silver Eyed One might leave Tobesk, and I won’t know where to find him.”
She had great confidence in the Orthodox Church, and this confidence was justified. Even if the Silver Eyed One was not seriously injured, a person like him could not be considered a big threat in a large diocese with several warlocks above the tenth ring.
Xia De nodded and suggested:
"But once this is over, we can agree on a time to tell the church and the academy about this sage-level relic almost simultaneously. That way, everyone can get their reward."
Miss Beas unexpectedly turned around and looked at him, her beautiful eyes sizing up Shade:
"Detective, you are... really smart."
In addition to what Shade told about last night, Miss Beas also shared with Shade the big and small things in the Tobesk Parish. The church's ring wizards definitely know more information than the academic ring wizards, and Miss Beas focused on the Lake View Manor incident and what happened last Saturday night.
Under the promotion of the church, more investigations were conducted on the above events, including the loss of control of the relics and the origin of the evil god, which were basically figured out. Unfortunately, the church is currently tracking down the fish scale within the diocese, hoping to find clues about the "high-level warlock" who cast the puzzle lock.
As a result, it will be even more difficult for Miss Louisa to sell the fish scales.
"Detective, what were you doing just now? A commission?"
Miss Louisa was also curious about her chance encounter with Shade.
"No, I just came out of the Prophet's Association, and I met Mr. Stan, the president of the Tobesk branch there."
Shad said while holding the book. Mia lay on his legs in a long strip, with the cat's chin against Shad's legs. For some reason, it liked this position very much.
"Mr. Stan? Oh? He's back?"
Miss Bei Yasi was very surprised by this incident. She even temporarily relaxed her observation of the actions outside and turned around to chat with Xia De:
"Mr. Addis Stan can be regarded as the most powerful fortune teller in Tobesk Parish. Although he only has ten rings, his fortune telling skills are quite high. I heard that he was commissioned by the Church of Creation not long ago to go to the countryside of Tobesk to assist the 'Iron Right Hand' Sari Pirot to deal with the out-of-control incident of the angel-level relic. Now that he is back, I think Mr. Pirot will be back soon. In addition, tomorrow, the thirteenth ring warlock of our church will arrive in Tobesk, and then there will be two thirteenth ring warlocks in our parish."
This was the first time that Xia De heard about the cooperation between the Prophet Association and the Orthodox Church, but he was concerned about another point:
"Is Mr. Stan's divination skills very high? In fact, I asked him to help me with divination today, but he didn't seem to use any ringmaster's methods."
He put the book down and asked cautiously.
"Mr. Stan's divination skills are of course very high. For example..."
Miss Beatrice thought for a moment:
"If there is only one person in Tobesk who can predict the location of the Silver Eyed Person, it must be him. But detective, a skilled fortune teller, can predict even without using the Ringwitch ability. This is a talent. Of course, it could also be his 'other self's' unique ability. But Mr. Stan has always been cautious. As long as he makes a prediction, it will most likely come true... ... What did he predict for you?"
The young girl with long brown hair curiously inquired:
“Good news or bad news?”
"He said he saw a knight."
Xia De was still confused about this.
"Knight? Is this some kind of metaphor?"
Miss Bei Yasi asked in confusion. Seeing that Xia De couldn't give an answer, she looked at Xia De's face again and changed the subject:
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you. I just remembered a while ago that the first time we met was at that pet store, right?"
"Yes, why bring it up?"
Shade asked in confusion.
"I didn't remember our first encounter before, not because I forgot, but because your face was a little different from when we first met."
The girl with brown hair frowned slightly.
"Do I look different?"
He touched his face in confusion, then remembered that Old John had said something similar last night.
"No, not a huge change, just a few subtle differences."
Miss Beatrice squinted her eyes and thought for a moment:
"People who meet you often, or who observe you every day, probably wouldn't be able to sense it at all. But we didn't meet again for a week, at Lakeview Manor. Didn't you pretend to be hypnotized by the captain? I didn't recognize you at the time because we just passed by each other the first time, and your face was a little different the second time."
"Is there such a thing?"
He put the lazy cat on the sofa, ignored its dissatisfaction, and walked quickly to the bathroom. He could see his face in the mirror every day when he washed his face, and he didn't notice anything different.
"To put it simply, I'm probably more handsome than before. I don't mean anything else, this is the truth."
Miss Beas's voice continued to come from the kitchen.
"hansome?"
Xia De stretched his head in front of the sink and looked at the face in the mirror. The former homeless man's face could only barely meet Xia De's aesthetic standards. As for handsomeness, he didn't see much.
But this time, the face shape was still the same, and the appearance... ... was indeed much more handsome than before. And more importantly, from a certain angle, he could vaguely see traces of his original face on this typical Caucasian face.
It wasn't very obvious, just like what Miss Bei Yasi said, it was just that the originally decent face had some subtle changes. These subtle changes made the face of the stranger become... ... somewhat handsome.
Since Miss Beatrice said that Shad's face was a little different when she met him in the garden maze of Lake View Manor, then this definitely could not be because of that drop of divinity. The divinity only appeared after the second encounter with Miss Beatrice.
"Is it because the soul affects the body?"
He thought suspiciously in his mind, and then asked the voice in his heart.
Maybe so.
She whispered in his ear.
"This shouldn't be a bad thing, right?"
He looked at the face in the mirror. After more than half a month in this strange world, he had basically accepted this appearance:
"As long as the changes aren't too obvious, it's not a bad thing."
Finally came to this conclusion.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon together quite happily, and Shad vaguely felt that for some reason, he was probably faster than the purple-eyed fortune teller on the road to becoming friends, allies, and even close collaborators with Miss Beiasi.
Miss Beas even took the initiative to mention Miss Anat in front of Shade:
"Detective, if you still want to do divination, I recently met a very good fortune teller. Although I'm not sure if she is a ring magician, she may be able to help you. I will introduce you to each other when there is a chance, but..."
Miss Beatrice hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Xia De picked up the glass and prepared to drink water.
"However, I always feel that the beautiful female fortune teller has other purposes when she approaches me. It's not malicious, but it's strange. I just feel that she has other purposes... ... Does she like me?"
Shade, who was drinking water, almost spit out the water in his mouth. But even so, he was still choked and coughed. As his body trembled, he woke up the cat from its nap. It stood up from Shade's legs and meowed at Miss Bei Yasi. It didn't lose its temper because it was almost time for the cat to take a walk around the house.
"So, do you think I have other purposes in approaching you?"
After coughing a few times, in order not to ruin the good impression that Miss Annat had worked so hard to create in front of Miss Beas, Shad had to change the subject.
"You approach me? Isn't it always me who approaches you?"
Miss Beatrice said strangely, and then counted again and again:
"That time at the pet store was a chance encounter. You wanted to stay away from us at Lakeview Manor. I came to you on my own initiative that day at the Lucky Southern Cross Club. I also asked you for help the night you played Rhodes. Today was a true coincidence. Detective, when have you ever approached me?"
She turned her back to Xia De and chuckled:
"Come to think of it, sometimes I even feel like you're avoiding me every time you talk to me."
