In addition to the above doubts, if we follow this line of thought, the purchase of 6 Saint Teresa Square might be the result of the operation of a spy organization; and "being good at investigating mistresses and extramarital affairs" might also be a preference deliberately chosen by the detective to get close to the nobles and eavesdrop on their secrets. The reason for his death in the end was that he tried his best to complete the nobles' commission, which can also confirm Shad's conjecture.
But if this idea is correct, then the mission of Detective Sparrow is to lie in ambush and wait for awakening, or simply to let him infiltrate the upper echelons of Tobesk, or to wait for the opportunity to join a certain event. All these disappeared with the accidental death of the detective.
As for Founder Silver Moon, it is not clear whether it is the detective's own hobby, or a stepping stone for him to open the door to the upper class after infiltrating Tobesk for three years.
"But these are just conjectures."
Xia De walked into the room, ready to take a broom to clean the first floor:
"No matter what, Sparrow Hamilton is dead. The only secret left to him is the letter that will be sent in September. The current speculation is just speculation. If he can find the original owner a few months in advance, he can definitely destroy the items related to his identity a few months in advance..."
Thinking of this, Detective Sparrow specifically went to find the original owner, Shade, who had a problem with his brain, and it seemed to explain it clearly:
"Could it be that he was in direct contact with Carsonrick and was a long-term undercover agent who would not be assigned any missions until the critical moment. Therefore, he could not immediately notify his superiors that he was going to die after the incident. So he could only find the homeless man with a mental problem and use the reply to the seemingly ordinary letter in September as a confirmation of his safety."
Xia De was almost certain that there was more than a 50% chance that his idea was correct.
But there is no evidence to prove these views, unless he is crazy enough to report Detective Sparrow and let his life be affected:
"But maybe Miss Anat's divination can help."
He thought to himself:
"There is no need to ask her to do that kind of divination that would cost her money. Just ordinary divination might provide clues related to Detective Sparrow."
Thinking that I don’t have to wait until September to reveal the secret, I feel even better at this moment than when I found my wallet just now.
Of the four free magic skills that the academy provided to Shade, the perception of time could not be learned due to lack of materials, while Scindia's Silver Moon Gift required a very harsh lunar phase environment to learn.
While preparing a midnight snack for 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 healing ability, and tonight was just the right night.
He took out the bottle of silver liquid from the drawer in the study. The liquid was called "Silver Moonlight" by the college. If purchased normally, this small bottle of 0.5 fluid ounces (about 14.2 ml) of liquid would cost the college 14 pounds and 3 shillings.
Open the curtains in the living room and bathe yourself in the three-color moonlight. Stretch out your right arm, then take off the cat that suddenly jumped onto your arm, and place the back of your right hand in the moonlight.
The learning requirement for this ability is that one must have wounds, but in the current situation he does not need to deliberately hurt himself.
Carefully pouring the moonlight liquid onto the wound, the liquid did not flow down the back of his hand, but gathered at the wound. Xia De took a deep breath, picked up the prepared match from the windowsill, lightly struck the wall to light it, and then very carefully, turned the back of his right hand downward, and let the burning match head poke the wound where the silver liquid gathered.
"Tsk~"
The match went out due to the pressure, and all the moonlight liquid under the moonlight flowed into the wound, and the ability was successfully learned.
Feeling the new power, Shade saw that the wound on the back of his hand was still there, so he whispered a difficult spell that he understood as "Praise the Moon". 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 and shook his right hand. Only a shallow mark remained on the wound. It would probably heal soon. Thaumaturgy Scindia's Silver Moon Gift actually tended to use the properties of the Silver Moon to heal the mind and soul. Physical healing was a side effect, so the effect was not very good.
After all, among the three moons, the red moon represents the meaning of "flesh and blood", and the red moon's magic is actually better at physical healing.
"Meow~"
Mia quickly scratched Shad's trouser legs under his feet. Shad, who had learned a new magic, picked it up and prepared to wash up and go to rest.
The Mercury Blood incident came to a temporary end. He found Mr. Sparrow's legacy, and his Ringwitch studies were on track. He even had a goal for a long time in the future. Shad was not dissatisfied with this kind of life. Just like what he thought when he first left St. Teresa's Square and saw this era and this world, everything would be fine.
The next day was Tuesday. The events at Lakeview Manor came to a temporary end, and Shad's life returned to normal again.
The most important thing today is to visit the seriously injured Dr. Schneider. Although I have some free time, the other two commissions left by Detective Sparrow cannot be completed for the time being.
What the detective meant was that Xia De had to gradually complete four commissions in the two months before September to maintain the superficial operation of the firm, so the remaining two commissions could not be easily completed now.
He plans to wait until the end of this month or early next month to take action.
Shad fed the cat early and went to the post office to send a letter to the Lucky Southern Cross Club to inform them that he had woken up. Then he met up with Father Augustus in front of the Dawn Church, a 20-minute walk from St. Teresa's Square.
The Dawn Church is located in the center of Dawn Square and is a landmark building in Tobysk. Even if you are not a believer, you will be impressed by the magnificent architecture of the church when you pass by here. Of course, according to priest Augustus, this building itself has power, and evil spirits and evil things cannot escape from the church. So people are impressed by the magnificent building, probably because they are influenced by extraordinary power.
Although it was still early in the morning, there was already a large crowd of people in front of the Dawn Church. Well-dressed upper-class gentlemen mingled with ordinary citizens, entering and exiting the church door engraved with a huge holy emblem.
I heard from the priest yesterday that the most important religious festival of the Dawn Church, the Holy Prayer Day, will be held in late July. Believers who want to participate in church activities will go here frequently recently.
Shade didn't know if he needed to bring gifts when visiting patients in this world. Since he had found the money left by Detective Sparrow, he thought about buying some fruits or eggs on the way to the church, but he still had nothing when he arrived at his destination.
Then he thought about asking Father Augustus to pick some beautiful flowers from the church garden when he met him, but when he saw the old priest, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Father Augustus had no intention of buying any gifts. After meeting up with Shad, he took a carriage directly to Dr. Schneider's clinic.
