Chapter 72: antique revolver

"Yes, indeed a man."

While speaking, Priest Augustus also showed an awkward expression:

"Six-ring Warlock, his original name was Jack Deon, male. According to intelligence, the ring that can realize gender conversion comes from the [Blood Spirit School] you mentioned. They are always good at thaumaturgy of flesh and blood. There are a lot of strange relics. Damn it, those lunatics have all gone to the New World, and they still don’t forget to cause trouble for us.”

The professors of St. Byrence once said that the ancient organization [Blood Spirit School] was hunted down by the Church of the Five Gods.

"The church has known about him sneaking into Tobesk City for a long time. Some time ago, it has been suspected that he is hiding in the Lark Club, which is the place you mentioned. However, I didn't expect that he could completely change his appearance, so the church has never been able to find him. .As for him and Mr. Lawrence, it is unclear whether they were distorted due to the influence of the [Relic] ring, or for other reasons."

"The relic can also distort...orientation?"

Xia De asked, and the old priest showed a regretful expression:

"The relic may distort any personality and thinking of human beings, depending on the function of the relic itself. For example, if there is a function of [relic], which is to use excrement to make food, then it is possible... Forget it, I can’t even say it myself.”

He and Shad adjusted their expressions together, and then the priest warned the detective:

"Since Mrs. La Soya and the Orthodox Church's team have appeared, probably tonight is the time for the Church to carry out arrests. You must not get involved in this matter, it is very dangerous."

"But the doctor may not know that the church's ring warlock team has appeared, should we tell him?"

Speaking of this, the garden path directly facing the statue heard the chatter and laughter of the young girls, and the old priest and the young detective immediately went around to another path behind the statue:

"It's possible that Bill didn't know."

Priest Augustus pondered, then looked at Shad:

"I saw Louisa just now. I thought she was just invited by chance just like me. She must have come to help the doctor. Since La Soya has entered the mansion of Lake View Manor, you should stay away and go to the front courtyard Find Louisa and tell her the current situation. I will go to the mansion to find a doctor, since I can't see him in the garden, he should already be there preparing to do something."

"Ok, no problem."

Xia De nodded solemnly, and Priest Augustus asked again:

"Do you have any [relic] and spell-casting materials?"

"some."

He patted his pocket.

"That's good, but it's not a last resort. Don't use the power of a ring warlock in front of ordinary people. Detective Hamilton, be careful."

"Priest Augustus, you also pay attention to safety. Speaking of which, my luck seems to be very good tonight."

He wanted to learn from the old man, but obviously Priest Augustus failed to understand how good Shad's good luck was:

"The gifts of fate have a price, detectives, ring warlocks cannot rely on luck."

So the two moved separately, because they didn't know where the matter had progressed, so they were in a hurry.

After Xia De walked out of the garden maze, he turned around the end of the path and followed the shadow of the mansion to the courtyard in front of the manor. Before he had time to look around, he was grabbed by a burly drunk beside him:

"I've seen you! Tell them, am I a deserter?"

A muscular middle-aged man reeking of alcohol forced Xia De to the long table. Under the light, Xia De saw that the drunk man was Captain Lades. The last time he met at the Lucky Southern Cross Club, he was trying to commit suicide by "shooting eight shots in the head to show his loyalty to the king". ridiculed by peers.

This time the situation looked similar. The drunk captain somehow recognized Xia De, and it was more likely that he just pulled someone over and dragged him into the crowd in a daze.

"Lades, your incident is already ridiculous enough, do you still want to lose face at the banquet?"

Said a friend of Captain Rudds, a brown-haired man in his thirties who was holding a wine glass. He was tall, wearing a black formal attire, and smiled at Shad apologetically while speaking. Others wanted to help this innocent passer-by get away from Captain Lades, but they were all pushed away by the drunken officer. He was already a little unconscious, and the words he spit out were difficult to distinguish because of his big tongue when he spoke:

"I'm not a coward. I really didn't want to be humiliated by being captured, so I shot myself in the head! That gun, that gun is an antique I bought some time ago, and it was just carried as an ornament. want to use it."

"But did you manage to activate that antique pistol?"

asked the man holding the wine glass.

"Of course, the type of bullet happens to be the same as the one in my hand."

The drunken captain replied, and in the dim light of the candlestick, Shad noticed that his front was soaked:

"Since the bullet is fired, how can you still be alive?"

"How would I know! Is this God joking with me? I pressed my head and shot, eight shots! Eight shots! The bullets actually hit the people next to me! I broke down! I really broke down! Oh, God, don't you want to look at me again?"

The captain finally let go of Xia De, and wept there while leaning on the table. Xia De wanted to leave, but suddenly saw the captain put his hand in his arms, and then took out a black revolver. This looks like an antique. Although it has been well maintained, the power of time will not be erased by the efforts of mortals~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You have come into contact with 'Whispers'. 】

"Huh? Is this really a [relic]?"

Xia De thought in surprise.

"Oh, how did you bring this thing to the party!"

The friends of Captain Ladds hurried over, worried that the captain who was waving the antique gun in his hand would disturb the other guests. But they were not worried about the muzzle fingering. There should be no bullets in the revolver.

"Take it back!"

People persuaded, but the captain stumbled and grabbed the person next to him, and then grabbed Xia De who hadn't had time to leave:

"Sir, look, this is the thing, not me! I actually shot! I aimed it at my own head, but I couldn't kill myself. The enemy grabbed the gun and pointed it at me, but he gave himself... …”

The drunk captain violently pulled off the right sleeve of Xia De's formal suit with the sound of stabbing.

Xia De was still immersed in the miraculous story of Captain Lades, but now he didn't realize it for a while, and kept thinking about how expensive this dress could be. The friends of Captain Ladds finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they worked together to control the drunk captain and seize his antique revolver.

"Sir, I'm so sorry."

One of them apologized to Xia De, popped out the bullet nest to confirm that there were indeed no bullets in it, and then put the cold antique in his hand and handed it to Xia De:

"Rades is really drunk. Take this gun as compensation for your clothes. Sir, don't rush to refuse. We think that if you keep this gun away from Rades, maybe he can come out as soon as possible. .We were not laughing at him just now, he talked about this matter when he was drunk... Who can explain this kind of thing clearly?"
