Chapter 363: Miss Gould's letter

"Yes, speaking of it, the last time I went to the academy library to meet the Red Moon Witch Miss Daniste, I didn't feel that it was particularly cold in the academy."

Shad agreed.

But thinking of this, he reminded himself that when he saw Rezia next week, he could ask her about the location of the Zarath School of Literature. When Her Royal Highness was in the lower grades, she was an official student directly enrolled in the academy. As for the location of the Zarath School of Literature, it would be the same as the other two thaumaturgy schools, beyond Shad's expectations.

"Oh, by the way, Shad, there's one more thing."

The doctor patted his head, and then said calmly:

"Today you sold those books..."

"Doctor, please don't mention this again."

Xia De shook his head quickly:

"If you want to explain this matter from the beginning, such as their origin, why I wandered around with them, and why I sold them, it will be very complicated. Please don't get me wrong, I don't have any special hobbies."

"Oh well."

The doctor nodded, but Shad wasn't sure if the doctor was convinced by what he was saying.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and all three of Iluna's commissions had nothing to do with the relics. Although this Friday is not over yet, Shade doesn't want to look for new events anymore.

After all, he really wasn't some chosen one, and he didn't have the luck of encountering the relic when he went out.

I finished writing today's investigation report at home, and then wrote a letter to Professor Manning. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out for dinner with a very well-behaved cat, he sent the report to Iluna and the letter to the professor.

According to Luvia's divination, the professor should be able to find the members of the Priory of Guiding Light soon.

Although today is very busy, it is indeed a very peaceful day.

In this way, it came to Saturday, and when he went out to get newspapers and milk and goat milk in the morning, Xia De unexpectedly saw several letters addressed to him.

This is a new thing, after all, he doesn't know many people.

The first two were bills, from the steam and gas companies, and then a tax receipt from Tobesk City Hall. Turning back, the letter actually came from a rural town on the shore of Lake Tees in the southeastern part of the kingdom.

At first, Xia De thought it was a letter from the previous client to Detective Sparrow, but later he remembered that it was the address of the real owner of the orange cat Mia, Ms. Mia San Gold.

"Mia, look, your master has sent a letter."

Shad opened the envelope and walked up the stairs, the small cat following behind his slippers. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw Xia De shaking something, so he supported his body with his hind paws and jumped up. But seeing that Xia De didn't give it any meaning, he ignored Xia De very much in disgust, and instead ran up the stairs quickly, presumably waiting for him at the dining table.

Although Mia has been by Xia De's side all the time, Miss Gao De is the real owner of the orange cat Mia, but she can't pick up the cat because she is dealing with things in her hometown in the country. In the letter sent by this lady last month, she stated that she would send a letter a month to inquire about the situation. This time, the letter contained another 10 pound note as Mia's alimony. .

Miss Gold once again expressed her gratitude to Detective Hamilton in the letter, and told Xia De with great regret that she not only has to deal with family affairs, but also has some minor problems with her own body. Basker, take Mia away.

In addition, in the letter, she asked Xia De to take a photo of the cat, with this month's newspaper as the background, and the date must be able to be seen. Come to think of it, the lady who paid the fee generously was also very worried that Xia De would criticize the cat, and even threw the cat away long ago.

"It seems that I must give you a bath in the past few days, and then take pictures, so that Miss Gao De can take a good look at you."

Xia De patted the well-behaved cat, who squinted, not realizing what Xia De wanted to do.

In fact, the outsider has already made up his mind to take ownership of the cat. It is immoral to take the client's things as his own, even if he pays money, so Xia De wanted to test Miss Gao De's attitude a little bit in the letter.

He has to take it step by step, and cannot directly explain his thoughts as soon as he comes up. On the one hand, he was worried about being directly rejected by Miss Gao De who was not mentally prepared. On the other hand, because Miss Gao De was also facing a lot of trouble in his hometown, Xia De wanted to make a formal request when the client was in a good mood.

So at least, the reply letter with photos sent in a few days can only be a preliminary test.

"Our family has fallen", this is a sentence that Miss Gould mentioned several times in her letter. She belongs to a small town by Lake Tees, a very famous old family line, but she moved out of the town with her parents when she was very young, and did not return to the town until the family needed an heir, and returned to the town with her parents who went back a few years ago live together.

Outsiders don't quite understand what's going on in a big family in a rural town in this era. But he sincerely hoped that Miss Gold could solve the trouble as soon as possible. This generous lady should have a good life.

After preparing breakfast for himself and the cat, Xia De continued to read the last letter. The last letter actually came from Professor Manning, but Xia De sent his own letter last night. Even if the professor saw the letter at this time, he would not be able to reply in time. In other words, it was sent by the professor last night.

"The professor found the doomsday academic organization!"

Professor Manning spoke very directly. After the politeness at the beginning, he directly stated the results of the investigation. The professor told Xia De in the letter that after investigation, he confirmed that the largest doomsday academic organization in the Old Continent was called the Light Guide Club. This is not an organization rooted in a certain area or a certain school, but is composed of professors from colleges and universities all over the Old Continent. It is intended to preserve the achievements of human civilization, so that when the end comes, it is a loose academic type. organize.

That's why this academic organization composed of ordinary people is named "Guide Light Club", which means to pass on the flame of civilization.

"You can tell from the name that this club is definitely supported by Guiguang Monastery."

Xia De muttered in a low voice while reading the letter. Professor Manning's letter contained a question about tea leaves, and he didn't know how the letter paper was stored.

He didn't expect the other party to be so bold that he directly used his own organization name as the name of the ordinary people's organization he supported. Presumably the "Guide Light Religion" has really declined, so confident that even the Orthodox Church can't see their clues.

However, supporting ordinary people's organizations in this way can not only promote their own organization's ideas and recruit more talents, but also have a suitable way to obtain funds and cover up the traces of the activities of the ring warlocks. It is really a good idea.

An academic group composed of intellectuals, of course, also has members in a big city like Tobesk, the capital of De La Rion. Professor Manning has contacted one and asked Xia De to meet at his house at ten o'clock this morning.

He knew that Xia De was looking for it in a hurry, so he arranged it in such a hurry.

"Ten o'clock..."

Xia De thought about the time, and he was in a very good mood. The two main goals of this week, 15 credits and Guiding Light Religion, are actually possible to complete. He admires his efficiency, but he still hopes that his future life will not always be so stressful.

Because it was going to Professor Manning's house, Xia De couldn't take Mia with him. He counted the time and arrived at Maowei Lane at 9:50 in the morning.

After knocking on the door, the familiar fat maid opened the door for him, and the guest Xia De wanted to meet had already arrived.

Professor McCain Heynke, who works at the same university as Professor Manning. However, Professor Heinke is from the Department of Philosophy, so he and Professor Manning were just nodding acquaintances before.

When Xia De entered the study room led by his servant, the two professors were discussing the treatment of the school. Professor Manning has actually reached the retirement age, and now he is re-employing to continue working, while Professor Heinke, who is wearing a brown checkered suit and has a white beard, has two years to retire and is quite dissatisfied with his pension.

Seeing that Xia De had arrived, the two old professors stopped talking. Professor Manning made a brief introduction for both parties, and Xia De also exchanged business cards with Professor Heinke.

Professor Heynke had heard about "Hamilton of Regerde" and knew in advance that he was a detective on Place Saint-Andrés, so he was not surprised by the address on the business card. And Xia De confirmed that the other party was just an ordinary person by handing over his business card and shaking hands.

After Professor Manning made the introduction, he left, and it was time for private conversation.

"Good morning, Professor."

After the politeness, Xia De went straight to the point:

"I ran into some troubles while entrusting, so I need the help of academics who study doomsday theory like you."

"No problem, then, Mr. Hamilton, what would you like to know?"

Professor Heinke asked enthusiastically~lightnovelpub.net~Xia De actually wanted to ask the other party directly if he knew about ring warlocks, but he didn't know the details of the "Light Guiding Club" and "Light Guiding Priory" Relationship, don't speak rashly. So on the way here, he had already thought about how to speak.

"No, no, it's not about doomsday theory. My client is an antique dealer whose identity is not convenient to disclose. He recently acquired a batch of antiques. In order to determine the value and specific age of the antiques, he investigated But the source of that kind of symbol can hardly be found, and it was only by accident that I found out that it was related to the doomsday group, so I was entrusted to do further investigation.”

As Xia De said, he took out his portable notebook and drew on the page with a pen the logo of "the main body is an equilateral triangle, the three corners of the triangle are connected to a small circle, and inside the triangle is a person with wings". "

When handing it to Professor Heinke, Xia De stared at the other person's expression. Although the old professor controlled it very well, Xia De still saw that the other party's eyes widened unnaturally when he saw the symbol.
