Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1811 "Helper"

Hearing Xia De's question, the doctor holding the fishing rod looked at him suspiciously:
"Don't trade with the devil. This is common sense. How could you think of trading with the other party? More importantly, how do you know that you will definitely not be able to fight?"

"Because I don't have it"

Halfway through the speech, Xia De realized the meaning of the doctor's words, and couldn't help laughing.

The doctor shook his head:

"I don't like things like demons taking away souls the most. Since you said that I will definitely not encounter them, then I assume that you have no helpers around you."

In fact, there is Miss Higgins, the high-ring witch, but the opponent is suppressed by the black mist camp. In a real fight, even Shade might not be able to win, so Shade didn't mention it.

"The greedy demon can inspire the greed of mortals, but it is also very greedy. You find a way to make it agree to bet with you, and then use that soul as a bet, so maybe you don't even need to fight."

The doctor reminded, Xia De nodded, this method is indeed good:
"But bet, I may not win."

"That's right, so you have to cheat. This is a just cause, and you don't have to talk to the devil about morality. You bet with it on the head of the coin, and it is made of coins. It will definitely agree. I will give you a coin I made in advance , so that you can deceive it, so that you can win. Of course, if you can’t win, you should find a way to let the other party absorb that coin. Then you don’t have to worry about it.”

The doctor easily solved the problem that Xia De thought would be very troublesome.

"Detective, when do you want to use coins? Although it is not difficult to make that thing, it takes a long period of time. It will take about a week to a week and a half before I can give you the finished product."

"It's okay, let's deal with the maze first, I'm not in a hurry."

"Alright."

The doctor nodded, and was about to talk to Xia De about the anomalies in this lake area, when suddenly the fishing rod in his hand shook, and he actually caught a fish:
"You're finally here!"

The doctor didn't care to speak, and jumped down from the coffin, turning the roller to retrieve the fishing line, but the force in the water was so great that the doctor was pulled back a bit, and he almost fell into the lake:
"Detective, help!"

"coming!"

Xia De also reached out and grabbed the fishing rod, and then felt the great power in the lake.Whatever it was, it couldn't be fish, unless there were whales in Green Lake.

But no matter what, seeing the black air coming out of the doctor's hands, it was obvious that he was already using thaumaturgy, so Xia De also activated [The Power of the Red Dragon].So under the power of the dragon and the demon, the thing caught in the water finally retreated step by step and approached the shore.The two sides wrestled for a full 10 minutes, and after repeated pulling again and again, the glass bottle filled with colorful smoke was finally pulled ashore by the fishhook.

When it flew out of the lake with water droplets, Xia De could even see the astonished expression of the blue "giant" in the bottle.

"Oh~"

Now Xia De understood what the doctor was doing here early in the morning.

The glass bottle hanging on the hook was grabbed by Dr. Schneider.He flicked off the cork neatly, and as the colorful smoke came out, the blue giant spirit appeared in front of Xia De again.

Sage-level relic [Reward of Greed], in which "Devil of Desire - Zatanna" is sealed.Counting the meeting during the "seven-day travel" in the fifth era, this is already the third time Shade has seen it.

After the blue "Giant Spirit" showed up this time, he didn't say anything about the three wishes immediately, but asked Xia De quite dissatisfied:
"We already agreed at the time, I'll give you clues, you let me go, why don't you just talk now?"

It is probably a rare experience to be questioned by the devil without integrity.

So Xia De, who thought he was very honest, still defended himself:
"Look at what you said. What does this have to do with me? I didn't catch you! Besides, you stayed in Green Lake? What were you thinking?"

"Detective, as I said yesterday, the current chaos and depression in the Green Lake area are very attractive to demons. Although it has become a relic, the nature of demons has not changed. Now that it has come, how can it leave? From our I had thought of coming to find it when I set off from the city, and, lo and behold, the plan went well."

The doctor said with a smile, the dark red light flashed in his eyes:

"Do you know me?"

The giant spirit then turned to look at the doctor, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head slightly:

"Maybe. But since you're asking, I'm sure I don't know you."

"Well, I have to deal with some troublesome things in Green Lake. I need your help. After I leave Green Lake, I will let you go. I can sign a contract to guarantee this."

After finishing speaking, he also explained to Xia De:

"Although Yalu is not strong, you said that there are many dangers on the island. To be on the safe side, it's better for us to find a helper."

Xia De also felt that the doctor's arrangement was very appropriate, as expected of someone who had made three plans before leaving Tobesk.

As for the wish demon Zatanna, seeing Xia De talking with the doctor, he shook his bottle violently to escape, but the bottle was firmly held by the doctor.Seeing the blue-eyed middle-aged man looking at it suspiciously, it could only sigh:
"I knew that I should leave here right then. Well, I can help you. But it's not free if I ask for help."

"We can talk about that later."

The doctor was very satisfied with the result, so he asked Xia De again:
"I want to go around the lake, and I will go into the lake to check the situation in a while, do you want to come together? Tell me about this place?"

Xia De regretfully shook his head:

"I still have something to do. I will go to the outskirts of the city to investigate a circus in a while. That circus is involved in many things, and it has something to do with Gray Gloves."

This is the task Margaret gave Shad.

"It is also suspected to be related to a relic."

This was something listed on the witch's task list. Since the two things were in one place, Xia De stopped by to solve them.In the mission of the earl and the poisonous mushrooms last time, the mushroom samples harvested at the end were very useful, and he wanted to see what he would encounter again this time.

"Okay then, go and get busy with your business. I'll leave a message for you at the hotel as soon as I'm ready. So far, things are going very well. I thought I'd spend a day fishing for coins. I also remember, don't worry about that."

The doctor said with a smile, Xia De waved him goodbye and left here.

After confirming that Xia De was far away, the doctor looked at the giant spirit who was still floating in the air, and the latter also looked at the doctor.One person and one demon stared at each other for a long time before the "Giant Spirit" put his hands on his chest and asked:
"This friend of yours once asked me some interesting questions."

"Are you really going to say it?"

The psychiatrist asked, and the "Giant Spirit" nodded:

"What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, islanders, it's not that easy to deal with."

The circus that Xia De is going to investigate today is not a local performance organization.They are wandering and cruising in the old continent, relying on performances for a living theater troupe organization, and the reason why they chose to come to Green Lake City is naturally because due to the negotiation between the two countries, the number of outsiders in the Green Lake area has recently increased sharply. Now coming here, business will Pretty good.

A group of people known as the "Blue Star Circus" is now stationed in the southern suburbs of Green Lake City, camping and performing in a small village adjacent to the city.Although it is a village outside the city, it is a traffic artery, the only way from the southwest of Green Lake City to the City of Glass, so people entering and leaving the city can see them.

And this location can also go to the city to perform at any time, which is a very convenient camp.

Margaret's task is to ask "Grey Eagle" to find out what her brother, Prince Samuel Anjou, sent gray glove agents to do in Green Lake City.On the task list of the witches, the great witch of time suspects that there is a cognitive-altering relic hidden in the circus, and it is not recommended for girls below Central to investigate alone.

When he went out of the city to find a doctor just now, Xia De had already inquired about the situation of the circus with the coachman, so he found the other party's location very smoothly.

The somewhat difficult-to-remember "Cotswolds Village" is actually completely adjacent to the city. There is no moat or city wall, and only a dirt road separates the city and the countryside.The camp of the Blue Star Circus is in the threshing ground outside the village.

In the spring, the villagers did not need to use the place frequently, so they rented the venue to the circus.The circus formed a large circle of more than a dozen carriages, and set up several stalls selling various souvenirs here, forming a small camp.

But it was Thursday morning, and the circus obviously had no performances.The animals were locked in tents, and members of the troupe gathered in twos and threes, playing cards or drying clothes.

Three police officers from the city were asking for information about a male circus member wearing a black silk top hat; on the open-air wooden stage in the southeast corner of the camp, a middle-aged man with a dagger was gesturing at a target ten steps away. ; the middle-aged bald man guarding the souvenir booth sat on a chair and yawned with his hands folded in front of his chest; in the temporary stable not far away, the groom brushed the back of the red horse with a big brush; the most lively place was the camp In the open space to the west, a young juggler stands on a wooden high stool, surrounded by the children of the village, throwing three red balls at a time to them.

When he was throwing the ball, he would deliberately make tricks that he could hardly catch from time to time. At this time, the children all sighed "Oh~" together, and after the young man caught the ball, he applaud.

The weather outside the city is good. Just looking at this camp, although you can detect extremely low elemental reactions, but if you look carefully, you can't see anything unusual here.No one stopped Xia De when he walked over. After all, even if the circus is not performing, it can still sell souvenirs.
