Whispering Verse

Chapter 380: report

Shade still wanted to be on the safe side in the appraisal of this extremely precious special card, so he naturally went to the vice president he was familiar with, Mr. Cyndia Mark, for help.

In order to organize the next month's Great City Players Rhodes Tournament, Mr. Mark has been very busy recently, but when he heard that Xia De was looking for him, he still took the time to meet with Xia De:

"Wait... Mr. Hamilton, you won't get a new Rhodes card again?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the man who was leading Xia De upstairs was taken aback for a moment, and then skillfully reached out and grabbed the handrail of the stairs:

"Okay, you can talk."

His eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes, the new Rhodes card, you guessed it."

Shad nodded.

"The very old one?"

Mr. Mark tentatively said again.

"Yes, I want to identify it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia De saw Mr. Mark covering his heart, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.

"What do you... oh, no, no, it's not the founding series, not that one. It's this one, this one."

Xia De hurriedly explained, and then took out the cards of the Devil series.

The middle-aged man in a black formal suit took a deep breath and looked at the card. After realizing that it wasn't [Founding], his face gradually returned to normal:

"Devil series? This is really a rare card."

"Yes, although it is not the original one, it is also a sufficiently old Rhodes card. I hope to ask the appraisers of the association to take a look."

Shad made his request.

"No problem, but it will take a few hours."

Mr. Mark's breathing became steady and his expression was serious. Not a founding set, but enough of a card to be worth a fortune...if that's true:

"The Tobesk Branch has never identified the cards of the Demon series, but for the players in the big city, the old appraisers who came from the headquarters think they can identify them."

"Then keep the cards here, I'll come to get them tonight or tomorrow."

"No, this is not in compliance with the rules. When appraising, the holder must be on the sidelines."

Mr. Mark immediately emphasized that this is not only to protect the cardholder, but also to protect the association.

"It's okay, I trust the association, and aren't we friends?"

Xia De shook his head indifferently, because he didn't have much hope for this card.

After leaving Silver Cross Avenue, Shade returned home and greeted Dorothy and Mia with a ring on her tail. Under the curious eyes of one person and one cat, they entered the basement again and returned to Coldwater Harbor.

"He's really busy today."

The blonde girl smiled and hugged the cat.

When we landed from the beach, the rain that had lasted all morning finally stopped. Shade, who was drenched all over, found a cheap hotel in the dock area to take a shower, and then changed into a clean dress before returning to the street.

I don't know if it's because there are already a lot of people in the afternoon, or people are going out of the house after the weather clears. Compared with the morning, the dock area is much more lively.

Xia De has never personally reported others, writing a letter or even throwing a drift bottle into the sea is actually the easiest way. But because of the Chosen One, Shad didn't want to risk anything with that letter, so he decided to deliver it to the church himself.

Of course, in order to ensure that the church was convinced of the content of the letter, Xia De not only told all the things about Darkness in the original, but even wrote "God Caller" at the end of the letter as a signature.

The inexplicable snowflakes when the fishbone pirate ship left, and the moonlight over the ancient alley occupied by the murlocs last week, have made the Orthodox Church suspect that the thirteen-ring magician who was seriously injured because of calling the gods was also in Lengshui Harbor. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Xia De writing like this.

He didn't want to go into the church and throw the letter aside while no one was there. Instead, he wrote the letter and wandered around the natural church in the dock area, hoping to meet the priest who occasionally went out.

[Lord of all things], that is, [God of Nature and Evil Thoughts], has a priesthood related to the ocean, so there is a very strong belief in coastal areas. The church is located on the busiest street in the dock area. After the rain, it cleared up, and even a rainbow appeared in the sky. There were many more believers who went to the church to pray or confess. Shade was inconspicuous among the crowd.

He was standing on the side of the street with a newspaper, watching the people coming and going at the door of the church on Monday afternoon. After a long time, I finally saw a priest in a white robe with a holy emblem on his chest, walking hurriedly from the other side of the street. He was about the same age as Dr. Schneider, and he walked in a hurry not because he was in a hurry, but because he wanted to avoid the next wave of people entering the church.

Xia De's eyes lit up, and he immediately went up to meet him, and stopped the priest before he approached the church:

"Oh boy, what's the matter?"

The priest was not angry when Xia De stopped him. Instead, he kindly stopped and asked. These priests are good at communicating with people.

"Father, I want to repent."

Xia De lowered his head on the side of the street, and took out the speech he had prepared, while the clergyman in front of him showed an understanding expression:

"No problem, that's fine. Why don't you come into the church with me, and we'll go to the confessional, where your privacy is protected."

"Oh no, Father, my sin is too great, and I don't want my filthy soul to pass before God."

Xia De said again, trying to make his tone as sincere as possible.

A worried expression appeared on the priest's face:

"Then what you're going to say is..."

He was probably worried that Shad was a murderer or something.

"I fell in love with a lot of girls at the same time."

This was Shad finding crimes that were light enough, but not too light. Although this is self-slander and damages his own image, since it is for noble reasons and to let the Orthodox Church arrest Darkness, Xia De doesn't care about it.

The worried expression on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, and he nodded sympathetically:

"This is indeed a sin, but since you already know that it is wrong, it means that you are still a good person. Repent sincerely, and then choose the girl you want to be with for the rest of your life, and you will be happy."

"Oh, thank you, Father."

Xia De lowered his head, suppressed his throat and made a hoarse voice, then twitched his nose, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended to cry:

"You're a very nice man, and you're right, and I think I know what to do. I'm going to see her now, and I'll tell her what I think."

With that said, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the priest in front of him:

"Father, please donate this money to the church instead of me, and don't let me, a sinner, face the holy emblem and idol. If I can really marry her, priest, I will come back and thank you."

Xia De tried his best to be more sincere.

"Then I wish you happiness, young man. Maybe you have been trapped by dark thoughts, but the gods will guide you in the direction of light. You must really understand what you want before you make a decision."

The priest took the envelope and smiled kindly. Standing on a crowded street, surrounded by brass-colored gas pipes shining in the sun after the rain, combined with the rainbow after the rain, this scene is quite sacred.

But Xia De never looked up, and after saying goodbye to the priest, he turned and left.

The middle-aged priest walked to the church with the envelope. He could not open the donations of the believers in the street, and the donations of the church must be checked at the end. Therefore, the envelope must be opened in the church, and apart from Shard's 1 shilling banknote and dozens of pieces of paper with "1 shilling" written on it, the letter inside will also be found.

"Equivalent to spending 1 shilling for a letter to be delivered."

Thinking of this, Xia De was quite satisfied with his actions just now.

Of course, in order to prevent the church from opening the letter immediately and chasing it out, Xia De didn't stay here too long. But before he walked out of the street, he saw a carriage approaching from the corner of the street.

There is nothing wrong with horse-drawn carriages appearing on such a bustling street. The problem is that this is not a public four-wheeled carriage.

Xia De just took a look across the crowd, and he could tell that the handmade iron crafts on the frame were absolutely valuable, and the powerful appearance of the coachman wearing a hat was different from ordinary coachmen.

"A nobleman's private carriage?"

He stood there for a moment, just for a moment, the carriage got closer and closer, and Xia De also saw the family emblem on the side of the carriage.

"This is...the crest of the Aurora family? Oh, it's Xi Wei Aurora! It's that witch."

Thinking of this, Xia De turned around and walked quickly towards the alley beside the street. At this moment, the window of the carriage was pushed open a gap, and the woman looking out from the inside looked curiously at the back of Xia De who was going away, but soon lost interest.

Because she ran fast enough, the second great witch who appeared in front of Xia De in the Witch Council did not notice anything strange about this man for the time being.

The chance encounter with Xi Wei Aurora ~lightnovelpub.net~ gave Xia De a huge sense of crisis. Although Miss Galina seemed normal, he actually accepted the argument that most members of the Witch Council were mentally abnormal.

In order to make myself safer, the production of the alchemy props seen in Miss Fei Lianna's notebook must not be delayed.

So after leaving the surroundings of the Natural Church, Xia De returned directly to the Seven Broomsticks Tavern, paid a high price of 69 pounds, and got the alchemy materials he bought. After confirming that only the most important core material was missing, that is, the witch's hair, Xia De didn't stay in the city for a long time. He took a carriage and headed towards Sophia's mansion in the north of the city.

Princess Rezia also just came back from the city, and seeing Xia De holding the paper bag in shock, she asked him what he did today.

"I... first went to the tavern to buy something, and then went to a small inn to play Rhodes. Before I came back, I went to the church to donate."

He thought about it and briefly introduced his day.

"oh?"

The princess and Xia De walked side by side in the corridor, turned to look at him, her beautiful brows were slightly frowned:

"Xia De, it sounds like you entrusted the tavern to purchase things after entering the city, and then spent a day playing cards. When you were about to return, you passed by the church and donated a sum of money to appease your anxiety about wasting time. "
