The Whispering Verses Chapter 2058: Spider Hotel
Chapter 2058 Spider Hotel
“I really didn’t expect to meet you again. It was as surprising as when you suddenly appeared at the White River Valley Vineyard at the beginning of last winter.”
The Spider Hotel is small and the interior is quite simple. Because the lighting was poor, oil lamps were lit even during the day. The wooden walls have a sense of age and antiquity. There are four tables in the narrow interior after entering. Walk forward and you can go to the second floor. Through the door on the right front, you can enter the "lobby" on the first floor with seven or eight tables and a counter. Also here.
As Mr. Bernhardt spoke, he and Shade sat down at the table against the wall inside. Shade noticed two men sitting at a table not far away who were playing Rhodes. They were both wearing police uniforms, and he knew why no one was guarding the autopsy room.
"I was also very surprised. Last winter you went to Willendale to recuperate. I thought I would have to wait until the autumn grape harvest season before I could meet you in Huntingdon again. Oh, I received your New Year's Eve greetings Cards and gifts, thank you very much.”
"The manor housekeeper also sent me your end-of-year gift, which is also very nice."
The waiter brought ale for the two of them. The friends reunited after a long separation had a lot to talk about.
“Speaking of a good grape harvest, this year is going to be difficult.”
When talking about this topic, the viscount who owns a winery shook his head in distress. Shade knew that he was talking about the weather:
"There is nothing we can do about it. I think the same is true for the White River Valley Vineyard. His Highness wrote to me a few days ago, telling me that I probably won’t be able to drink the products from the White River Valley Vineyard this fall. Excellent red wine.”
After the Pantanal incident, the White Valley vineyard with a hidden passage in the wine cellar actually fell into the hands of Schade, but because he was a foreigner, nominal control was in the hands of Margaret. .
Mr. Bernhardt said with a smile:
"You don't have to worry about this. If His Highness wants to give you red wine, there are many ways to get it. Besides, the wine you make yourself is better than other products."
The two of them picked up the wooden wine glasses and clinked them, and Shade also talked about his purpose:
"I came here this time to find a relic."
He gestured with the number "0", and Viscount Bernhard showed an expression of awe:
"You really do always do such dangerous things. Speaking of which, you weren't always active in the Green Lake area in the past few months, right?"
Xia De nodded, and the expression on the latter's face became more and more awed:
"I have never had such an exciting and dangerous adventure. I will stay in Yuewan for about a month or two this time. I cooperated with my friends from Willondale to do some business with the New World and some miscellaneous things. If you need help with anything in Yuewan, just tell me. Our friendship has continued since the beginning of Mibao."
After finishing speaking, he looked around twice, then lowered his voice and asked the young man across the table:
"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be any sealed ancient evils, great men from the past trying to come, or traitors from the Church's Prophet Association here in Moon Bay, right?"
After asking, he looked at Xia De worriedly and anxiously. Xia De recalled it. In fact, he had just arrived:
"No, at least I haven't found it yet. But I have probably been active in the local area recently, and maybe I will investigate something."
Shad answered honestly. He remembered that Laplace Howard's book seemed to mention that there was a history of divine descent in the Moon Bay area. Although he does not expect that he can obtain divinity through this, since he is local, it is necessary to investigate:
"However, I found that there were traces of dragon activity in the Moon Bay area during the Fifth Era."
"Dragon? Compared to other things, this is a small matter."
Mr. Bernhardt nodded cautiously.
The two then chatted about their respective interesting stories during the half-year separation. Mr. Bernhardt already knew that "John Watson" was "Shad Hamilton" while he was at Middlesbrough, so he did not forget it. Congratulations to Schade for winning the 1854 Torbesk Equestrian Competition.
He talked about what he saw when he spent the winter and spring in Willendale City, described the city in as much detail as possible with Shade, and thanked Princess Margaret for the convenience she provided for his family business.
Xia De showed the Viscount his newly acquired "Origin Knowledge", "Origin Earth" and "Origin Space", plus "Origin Silver Moon", "Origin Balance" and "Origin Dark" "Creation·Death", when a total of seven Genesis series cards were taken out by Shade, the Viscount put on his gloves respectfully, and then took them from Shade:
"It's really a sin to appreciate these cards in such a shabby place. It's really a beautiful city. Players are held every three years, and now one year has passed since the one in 1853. If two years later, in 1856, If you can collect a complete set of 'originals' to participate in the competition, then the competition will be more exciting."
He returned the deck to Shade, put one arm on the table, and smiled as he provided new information to Shade:
"Did you know that the champion of the Great City Players in 1850 settled in Yuewan City. Viscount Bell Guerra, he is also considered a celebrity among the local Rhodes players. I have been in Yuewan City for the past two weeks, with my friends When we play cards in the club, we often hear his name mentioned. He has many special rules cards in his hand, and he is welcome to bring out other special rules cards to gamble with him, but everyone can only play with him. He made a bet."
The Lord Vampire Seed asked Shade with his eyes whether he was interested in this. He was really looking forward to the confrontation between the two big city player champions.
Xia De thought for a while and asked with a smile:
"Does he have any Founding Series cards in his hand?"
"Probably not."
"Then I'd better get down to business first. As you know, the thing I'm looking for won't show up easily."
"That's really a pity. If you want to play cards with that Viscount, I can help you introduce him. He really has a lot of good cards in his hand."
When the coroner, Mr. Ptolemy Albert, came to the tavern to find the two of them, Shade was playing cards with Mr. Bernhardt using an ordinary deck of cards, and the topic had shifted to Miss Sylvia's business. .
Nominally, the business is Margaret's property, and Miss Sylvia is only acting as the princess's math teacher and personal doctor.
The brand-new fabric had already appeared in the hands of the noble lady of Willendale before Mr. Bernhardt left Willendale without being sold, and it triggered a craze. Calculating the time, the official launch of fabrics in stores should be a recent thing. Such products should soon appear in Yuewan City, which is thousands of miles away, and it will probably be later in Tobesk City in the north.
But in any case, Mr. Bernhardt, who had seen the fabric in Willendale clubs, believed that the business would be a huge success. Although the fabric on ladies’ legs is not a topic that can be discussed loudly in public, Princess Margaret really struck a gold mine this time:
"Mr. Watson, if you have a chance, you must see that kind of fabric. Neither men nor women will refuse that kind of beautiful and personal products. Even if you are well-informed, you will definitely not be able to imagine that kind of thing. How it looks when worn on the girls' legs. I have some magazines here. You can take a look at them first. Don't get me wrong. I give up on this. Princess Margaret's gold. The mine can probably be called the most memorable thing in 1854."
"What gold mine? Are you talking about the gold mine in the forest in the southeastern part of Moon Bay? Because of the discovery of the Randall Valley gold mine, it has changed from the sixth largest reserve in Carsonlik to the sixth largest in terms of reserves. Seven."
The coroner sat next to Mr. Bernhardt and called to the waiter to bring him a glass of wine as well. He seemed to be a regular visitor and was familiar with the hotel owner and waiters.
At this time, with the guarantee of Mr. Bernhardt, and after confirming that Shad was not a bad person, Mr. Albert was also willing to provide some information to Shad.
Needless to say the location and entry method of the local black market, the most important thing is the reclusive fortune teller Sha De is looking for. Although Mr. Albert has lived locally for many years, it was only in the past six months that he moved to an apartment near Herring Street. He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of anyone who met Sha De's requirements.
But when it came to "divineer", this gentleman provided Shade with other clues while watching the two friends play cards:
"There is a very powerful diviner in the Moon Bay area, and he should not be a member of the Prophet Association."
He described Mr. Schade and Mr. Bernhardt:
"That's a lady with a very high level. She only occasionally sends people to the black market to let some people with special destiny follow her servants to other places, and she will divination for those people. Although it sounds weird , but her divination skills are very powerful and she is a very professional fortune teller."
"Then how do you know that the other party is not a fortune teller from the Prophet Association?"
Bernhardt shuffled the cards and asked curiously, and the coroner explained:
"The lady calls herself the 'Amethyst Lady'. Every time she divines for others, she will sneer at the Oracle Association, thinking that the fortune tellers in the association are not very useful people."
"My peers are my biggest enemies. This is easy to understand. Maybe that lady had conflicts with the Prophet Association before."
Shad guessed, and the coroner Mr. Albert nodded. Although "Coroner" is not a very prestigious job, this gentleman has a unique scholarly temperament, which is very amazing:
"Most people think so, so Mr. Watson, if you can't find the fortune teller in Xiacheng District, you might as well try your luck with the 'Amethyst Lady' and see if the female fortune teller She is willing to divine for you. Even if she can't divine the person you are looking for, at least she has many connections in this city, and she might be able to help you."
