Chapter 65 Lake View Manor
"The only feature of this [relic] is that it uses right Hand When touching with any finger, let the touch person see the silver moon. According to the different phases of the moon, the shape of the silver moon seen is also different. This feature actually has some effects. If you touch it when you are in a hallucination, you may get a Go out, after all, the symbolic meaning of the silver moon itself. 14 pounds, you can take it with 14 pounds."

Probably know that this [relic] is not very useful, so the price proposed by Old John is not very high.

"But what about its negative effects? And containment methods."

Shade asked, already planning to buy it.

"Don't touch it for long periods of time, or you'll have dreams at night, bizarre dreams of the silver moon, and then plunge into eternal madness. Containment is as simple as immersing it in a colorless water before midnight every day. More than three seconds in the liquid is enough. If you can't do it, it may directly interfere with the owner's dream."

The negative effect is not too big, but Shade did not immediately say that he wanted to buy it, and As if thinking, it took a long time to ask:
"Can it be cheaper?"

"This is already a discounted price, for that cane."

The old man shrugged:

"I usually don't give a discount."

"£5."

"It's impossible, you usually Are they all bargained like this?"

"£1p for 5 pounds? Last time I sold a cane, I learned a lesson."

".Remember not to bargain like this with others in the future, Not everyone is as good-natured as I am. 13 pounds 10 shillings."

Old John said, shaking his head.

“Six pounds.”

Shade signs the number six with both hands.

"12 pounds 17 shillings, that's the lowest price. Detective, there's no lower price. I can give you a message as a bonus, right?"

The elderly store owner said that it seems that he does not want to continue to reduce prices.

So Shade thought for a while, then made a reluctant expression:

"Okay then, deal. But you have to explain what the news is first, I don't want to hear about the latest dish. News that prices are going to go up.”

“Youngster always does.”

The store owner behind the counter shook his head:

“I heard the news, [ Quicksilver Blood] Do you know?"

"Of course I do, news about them is almost everywhere now."

Academies have issued bounties to the correspondence ring warlock, on behalf of [Blood of Mercury] There is absolutely no need to cover up what happened in Tobesque.

"[Mercury Blood] and a bunch of cultists seem to be busy lately. That's not the point, my news is that [Mercury Blood] has a very nice relic in their hands. You know Yes, since I am in the business of recycling relics and dangerous items, I am very sensitive to this kind of information."

But in order to raise materials for the synthesis of Angel-level (Level 1) relics [Mercury Blood], the illegal organization, There are many good [relics] in hand.

"What exactly?"

Shade asked, and the old man said in a perfunctory way:

"If I was so well-informed, do you think I would The owner of a pawn shop? He has already gone to the black market to buy and sell information. It is a Level 3 relic, but it is actually a part of an Angel-level relic (Level 1). The drop is believed to be related to fate, and it is very convenient to find the lost item."

"Fate?"

Shade raised his eyebrows, and for some reason, thought of short Rat Peter's letter mentioned that the [Blood Spirit School] sent a Level 3 relic to the old continent and handed it over to [Mercury Blood]. Although the silver-eyed person was very dissatisfied that the other party did not send someone in time, no matter how he thought about it, he knew that the secret-keeper-level relic was definitely extraordinary.

"But what would it be? It's convenient to find items, and it's also related to fate."

He didn't expect that, seeing that there was no more news from Old John, he paid for the purchase of the relics. money.

[Moonlight's Orb] is already the fourth relic Shade has, but like the [Twenty-sided Dice of Fate] and [Poet Cohen's Manuscript] page, this does not enhance Shade The battle strength and survivability can only be regarded as auxiliary supplies.

He doesn't know if there are many relics in the hands of other ring warlocks, but he made up his mind to buy a powerful [relic] self-protection when he is rich.

In this beautiful vision, Shade boarded the carriage to Lake View Manor. The manor is located outside the city of Tobesque, in the south of the city, and is named after the manor's proximity to Lake Schluch.

This is one of the properties of Klauen's count, who occupies a high position in the kingdom's army and belongs to the rich and powerful nobles. This dinner was hosted by Count's second son, Little Klauen, which was a summer evening pastime.

A smooth dirt road leads from the city of Tobesque to the manor, and the carrier takes Shade to his destination as the evening sun sets in the sky. After leaving the city, the burning smell in the air disappeared. The air outside the city was pretty good, and the young detectives, tired from sitting too long in the carriage, were cheered up by the fresh air.

He wore his best black formal suit, hat and walking stick and stepped onto the stone pavement at the entrance of the manor, and entered the courtyard of the manor with the guests who came one after another.

The night was just beginning and there were not many guests. People are scattered in courtyards, labyrinth gardens, buildings and manor corners, chatting with familiar people.

The arrival of summer has also changed the way of dressing, but in this relatively conservative era, it is still impossible to see a certain scenery. Of course, if Shade has the means to attend some Sand Dragons and parties, he must be surprised by the activities of the nobles.

The young detective didn't know anyone here, but he had booked a meeting place with Lavender Baron, which was the stone table under the grape trellis on the east side of the fountain at the back of the manor, where Baron and his friends Luo The venue for German sports.

But now is not the time, he can only hang out in the manor alone. Knowing in advance that dinner will be served, Shade didn't eat much at noon, mainly feeding the cat.

Now I see a long table set up in the courtyard from the manor house to the gate of the manor, covered with white tablecloths, shining metal cutlery and candlesticks illuminating all around, also illuminated. The food on the table made Shade, who was not very hungry, feel that his stomach was craving.

He is also a very decent person, so he did not disregard his appearance to get food. Take a few at a time, but multiple times at different positions on the long table, which is Shade's strategy.

Of course, don't forget to distribute your business cards while eating to attract business for yourself. It takes skill, and Shade usually leans in silently while people chat and waits for an opportunity to say a few words.

Introduce yourself and hand out the business card when the time is right, because the address of the business card is St. Teresa Square in the city center, so people who get the business card mistakenly think that Shade is a very powerful detective. People would reject such a business card.

Shade is more determined to never move out of the current apartment until it is a last resort.

Although I don't know many acquaintances in this world, Shade saw a familiar silhouette when the last ray of sunset light disappeared and night fell completely. It was a black-haired maid, but it was clearly different from the maids in the manor who were in charge of meals and reception.
