  Chapter 218 217. Drizzt Detective AgencyThe   police carried the man away, Shia Put the book on the desktop.

Lu Yi felt that the cover was a bit familiar. It was a man in a suit working at his desk, but beside him, various ugly and abstract monsters surrounded him, and the whole picture revealed a strong sense of incongruity. Looks extremely crazy.

The title of the book can be seen through the translation of Silent Place. It is called "Shadow of Terror". When you look back at the picture on the cover, you will find that these monsters are all drilled out of the person's shadow. .

Lu Yi subconsciously glanced at his shadow, it was empty, with nothing but pitch black.

"This is the book of the ancient capital."

Drizzt picked up the book.

"It is sold in all bookstores in Fudu, and there are even manuscripts in many places. Whether it is a high-class person or a helper in the store, anyone who is literate likes this. The author’s story, even if illiterate, does not matter, the storyteller outside the teahouse is also telling his story."

He pointed to the opposite, standing at the door of the unaffected teahouse, wearing a long gown Storyteller with mandarin jacket, folding fan in hand and sunglasses.

In front of him gathered some footmen, workers, and children, listening to the storyteller with keen interest pleasure.

"Ancient capital?"

It was apparently the first time Shia heard this name.

"This is a writer, I've heard of it before."

Lu Yi came to the abandoned city before. He heard the name of the ancient capital and knew him. He is a writer who likes to write horror novels and stories about Fenghuaxueyue, and seems to often mix with married women.

Is he the writer you are looking for this time?

"Yes, in fact, the ancient capital is missing."

Drizzt's expression looked a little bitter.

"Actually, my previous colleague received an entrustment to find traces of the ancient capital, but at that time I thought it was just someone whose husband found out that he was wearing a green hat and wanted to avenge the ancient capital, but today, I He was commissioned by the publishing house to find the ancient capital. He disappeared two weeks ago and has not heard from him."

After leaving the teahouse, Drizzt led the way, and the three of them walked towards a corner of the street.

Lu Yi listened to Drizzt while observing the surroundings.

Here as he saw at that time, you can see the signs of all kinds of shops. Most of the people walking on the road are dressed in old and tattered clothes, covered in dirt, while those who ride in rickshaws are in suits and leather shoes. , Cheongsam dresses, two completely different societies.

The road in the center is flat, but the alleys are stinking. In some areas, the screams of walking vendors have overwhelmed everything, such as a vegetable market. In some areas, there are only those antiques. Shops with high style, such as jade, bookstore, etc., are quiet and depressing.

The three people quickly came to a second layer building. The first floor is a small tea house, where more ordinary commoners sit. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Lu Yi saw the signboard The sign of "Drizzt Detective Agency" hung.

Pushing the door open, Lu Yi first heard a lazy meow.

The fat orange cat didn't feel vigilant when seeing strangers. It only glanced at Lu Yi and Xia, and fell asleep again, without its tail moving.

"This is the landlord’s cat. I don’t know how he likes to come to sleep with me."

Drizzt took off his coat, took off his hat, and put the pipe on the table shelf. superior.

His desk is messy, full of documents, archives, and scattered photos in various formats. On the wall next to the desk is a bookshelf with piles of archives on it.

There is an Old Zhang sofa in the living room on the second floor. The orange cat sleeps in the middle of the sofa. Know the use of bauble.

There are no beds on this floor, only an unfolded quilt next to the sofa. It looks like Drizzt is sleeping on the sofa.

"Okay, now we can sort out the task information."

Drizzt picked up a bottle of wine on the coffee table and looked at them inquiringly, Lu Both Yi and Xia shook the head, so he poured the wine into the muddy cup and drank it all in one go.

"Gu is a writer. He became famous about seventeen years ago. He is good at writing horror stories, the kind of scary ones. The horror stories he wrote are very popular with the upper class. Therefore, the book It quickly sold out, and he wrote several more books and made a lot of money."

Drizzt put down his cup, came to his desk, pulled out two files at random, and handed them to Lu Yi and Xi Ya.

"Some noble ladies, you know, either they are widows whose husbands have died early and inherited a large inheritance, or they are widows whose husbands have been living in Fengyuechang all the year round and raised several mistresses outside, of course there are also Some simply don’t like their husbands and marry purely for family reasons."

"These noble ladies are obsessed with the novels of the ancient capital, and naturally became interested in this writer. They sometimes organize some poems and Sand Dragon, invited literati to participate, the ancient capital is one of them. After Sand Dragon is over, the others will leave, and in ancient times they will spend the night in their home."

He laughed and poured another half glass of wine. Instead of drinking directly this time, he sat on the sofa and touched the sleeping orange cat.

"Over time, the reputation of the ancient capital has become strange. Sometimes, some of his female readers are willing to spend a night with him in exchange for their bodies, but this guy is really amazing. Love speaking of which one set, and full of energy, sometimes I can go to three in one night."

"Three?"

Xia tilted her head in perplexity.

"Cough cough, in short, because his works are very popular, the rich people in the abandoned capital can't openly harm him, but some curious masters, and specially invited the ancient capital to his home and himself His wife created it together. However, his behavior will always cause some dissatisfaction. The publishing house feels that it is possible that the master of any house attacked the ancient capital because he was wearing a hat, and killed or hid it."

When Drizzt saw that Shia didn't understand very well, he changed the subject again.

"I think our mission at this time is to find the ancient capital."

"Since it is a mission, the ancient capital should not have died. It may just be kidnapped, um, wait Now, what is going on with that person just now, is there anything special about that novel?"

Lu Yi naturally never read the book of the ancient capital, so he asked.

"That book itself is an ordinary book. There is nothing special about it, just this novel."

Drizzt pulled out a book from his shelf. It's "Shadow of Horror", and it's more brand-new, like a new book I just bought and haven't read.

"I was not interested in these novels before and hadn't read them, but I asked the publisher for a set for investigation. I read another one last night. I can only say that ancient capitals can become famous. It makes sense, since the man said this book was the reason for his attack on us, maybe we can see what is written in it."

Drizzt opened the novel.
