Darent took eight steps back and stomped over the large washtub that Lu Xier had not yet taken away. His body was directly embedded in it, and he rolled three and a half times like a turtle in a shell before he stopped.
But the washtub was not so lucky. After separating from Darent, it stood up and rolled to the edge of the platform, then plunged headfirst, making a series of cracking noises.
The roar of curses almost broke through the sky, and Hitzfeld ran into the corridor. Darent was stunned for a moment, crawled on the ground twice and rushed in. The two of them went back to the corridor and entered the door together.
Everything!
As soon as the door was closed, Aunt Kate, the owner of the grain shop downstairs, rushed up to the second floor with a laundry basin in her hand. She first took a look at the door panel of No. 221, and then turned her head and locked her sights on No. 222.
Hitzfeld heard a door banging in the hallway.
The door seemed to open... and then there was Aunt Kate's unique roar. She couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence for the red-haired nurse in her heart.
The sheriff couldn't win the argument with Aunt Kate. If Lu Hill dared to say "it's not me", she would forget about taking a nap this afternoon.
After the storm subsided, the two quietly went to the rooftop to test the second wave.
"It wouldn't be so exaggerated to just shoot."
"Well... although it is much more powerful than the Plankton, it is still normal..."
Seeing the girl empty her magazine into the sky in one breath, and using only one hand, Darent lowered his chin in thought.
"Sunlight...similar to the effect of storing energy...why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere?"
"The Crystal Sea," Hitzfeld reminded him.
"That's right!" Darent Hammerhand, "They must have mixed in the fragments of the sword!"
Princess Katina, the incarnation of Xina, was defeated by them, and the broken sword she obtained and reassembled naturally belonged to Sarah's control. This kind of power that strengthened the sunlight and stimulated it was almost the same as the broken sword fragments, and he felt that this must be the case.
"Aisun!"
Darent came up, his face serious.
"You see, this thing is still a little dangerous for you..."
Hitzfeld looked him straight in the face and smiled without saying anything.
"What I mean is...how about I keep it for you first? And then I'll give it back to you when you want it?"
"impossible."
Hitzfeld refused outright.
She swung the gun, gripped the handle tightly, and became more and more reluctant to let it go.
White whale?
A giant beast hidden in the deep sea with its face invisible, occasionally surfacing to the surface and spraying water.
nice one.
She had to find a time to thank Alwin properly.
Chapter 10: Hitzfeld's Great Crisis
The acquisition of the white whale gave Hitzfeld more confidence in the upcoming trip to Fellington, but she still needed to declare the formation of this team in advance.
"You planning on having Ethan join you?"
In the evening, in the director's office at the Security Bureau headquarters, Xia Yibing, who was sitting firmly in her seat, frowned when she heard this.
It's not impossible to do so, of course she still trusts Ethan, but things are different now. Many people in the bureau are watching her every move, and she can no longer open the door to convenience for people with whom she has a good relationship as she did in the past.
If it was just Hitzfeld, then it wouldn't be a problem. After all, the girl had just made a great contribution, and no one could say anything about how many privileges she was given. But Ethan was different, his sins had not yet been washed away.
The most troublesome thing here is not his background that was contaminated by the Seed of Destruction, but that his father is Heidegger, which many people know.
"This is a proposal." Hitzfeld took out a letter from his chest and handed it to her, his face slightly red. "It explains my reasons in detail."
In her previous life, when she was reading some novels from classical times, she had wondered why those women always liked to hide letters and small objects in their chests.
But now she knew, because there was really no place to hide.
Basically all kinds of skirts don't have pockets, so you can only stuff your things in there.
As for modifying the skirt, it is not realistic to sew pockets by yourself. Bullets are easy to deal with, but important things like envelopes are easy to wrinkle when hidden in sewn inner pockets, and giving a wrinkled letter is very impolite in most cases.
Of course, Hitzfeld doesn't really care about this. If it were someone else, she certainly wouldn't do it, but it's a different story if the target is Xia Yibing.
However, she saw that the first thing the sheriff did after receiving the letter was not to open it, but to put it under her nose and sniff it a few times.
"It smells really good~" Ignoring the girl's darkened face, Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's just a little bit curved... It doesn't matter, maybe it won't be like that in the future."
The slightly curved refers to the curvature of the envelope.
It is indeed not wrinkled, but because...something...it has a natural curve and arc, and the envelope sandwiched in the middle will naturally be slightly deformed.
If you want to improve this, you must give it a wider and deeper space to live in. This way, the envelope will be flatter when taken out, which Xia Yibing herself has experienced deeply.
"..." Hitzfeld didn't know what to say for a moment.
She looked down at her chest and prayed from the bottom of her heart that she would never grow up again.
"Is it related to Nicholas Brende?" Xia Yibing had already taken advantage of these few seconds to roughly browse the contents of the proposal and nodded, "Yes, if it involves the Earl of Candy, no one would know more than him."
"He really is..." Hitzfeld lowered his voice, "He is really collecting as Zafira said... that bunny..."
"No."
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she felt a surge of guilt in her heart, for she actually believed that unreliable guy Zafira and followed him in criticizing Ethan.
"He has collected all 18 cards of the 'Pyjama Bunny' set, and now he is probably collecting 'Beach Temptation'."
After saying that, Xia Yibing looked up and found that the girl's shoulders were slumped. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "...So he is trustworthy, right? Men with childlike innocence are still very cute."
This matter was basically confirmed. Just as Hitzfeld was about to say goodbye, she suddenly found that she couldn't pull Lily's leash.
The big white dog tried hard to get under the hole in the table, but when he found the rope in her hand, he turned around and barked a few times: "Woof woof!"
“……”This is the aftereffect of wearing mixed socks.
Lily is an extremely intelligent Sherlock. This method of confusion may confuse her for a while at first, but it soon formed a bad habit for her.
If both of them appear nearby at the same time and some of their smells are similar, it will take the initiative to lick their socks.
It might be trying to use this method to distinguish them more accurately... By the time Hitzfeld realized this, it was too late. No matter how she taught Lily a lesson or spanked it, it just wouldn't change.
Hitzfeld lifted up her skirt and took a look. Sure enough - while she was talking to Xia Yibing, a spot on her ankle sock had been wet.
The dog wasn't satisfied after licking her and went to lick Sheriff Xia again.
"Just leave it here." Xia Yibing was cheerful. "I don't expect Ashley to feed it anyway, so I can just keep it in the office."
After Hitzfeld left, she would definitely be the one feeding the dog, and bringing a Sheldon to and from get off work every day... the goal was too obvious.
"No!" Hitzfeld refused directly, "I want to take it with me to Fellington."
Other cases might be fine, but this case involves candy and smells. Having a dog as an assistant would definitely make a big difference.
She had made her decision, so Xia Yibing naturally didn't force it. She had other things to do, so she told Hitzfeld that he would definitely let Ethan report to No. 221 the day after tomorrow, and the girl decided to leave.
"and many more!"
Seeing her turn around, Xia Yibing showed a struggle on her face, but finally she called her.
The girl turned around with a questioning look.
"Well... it is said... I heard... Prissianth... and Year Ring... have preliminarily completed the treatment process for Alex."
"Yeah." Hitzfeld nodded, thinking there would be more to come.
Xia Yibing changed the subject and said, "Also... I went to the White Shadow Palace this afternoon... You may not need to take the train this time..."
"Ah?" Hitzfeld was stunned.
On the one hand, she didn't understand how the subject changed so quickly, and on the other hand, she didn't understand what it meant that she didn't need to take the train.
"It's like this." Xia Yibing followed up to explain, "You know Skye Airlines, they were taken over by the royal family, and now the largest shareholder is Her Majesty the Queen."
"Does that mean we can take an airship?" Hitzfeld's eyes lit up.
Long-distance train rides are really uncomfortable. If she could take an airship, the four-day journey could be shortened by half. How could she not like it?
"But is there an airport at Farrington? Can the airship land?"
"Yes, I asked...They have a military airport."
"That's great! But the cost..."
"Your Majesty, come out."
Hitzfeld smiled with genuine joy.
She was so grateful to Alwyn.
Really.
Not only did he give her such a great pistol as the White Whale, he also helped arrange the travel expenses for her trip. Is this what it feels like to be a royal favorite?
Not bad!
"Also..."
Xia Yibing stuttered again.
"that is……"
Seeing that the girl was confused, she simply walked around from behind the table, walked straight up to her and hugged her.
"Wang!?"
Lily's eyes widened and she tilted her head slightly to the left.
"summer?"
Hitzfeld was even more confused.
She doesn't understand.
Talking about this and that is not like the other person's character at all.
"Do you... have something difficult to tell me, Xia?"
She asked tentatively.
She felt there was no other possibility - Xia Yibing's attempt to change the subject was too obvious.
"There is something quite important... no! I should say something very important that I want to tell you."
The woman's tone was very serious.
"What is it?"
This made Hitzfeld become serious and he was mentally prepared to hear bad news.
Could it be that Grimm failed to heal her, or that Sheena is still alive...
"Your feverish brain condition may be cured."
"Yeah." The girl nodded.
Then he was startled again: "What?"
"It was when we were... that time...you said you had a headache and felt like blood was rushing into your body..."
Xia Yibing explained to her hesitantly.
"This... is actually what Her Majesty told me... She said it was just a suggestion... a possibility..."
"That is to say... she guessed that this situation was caused by the conflict between the evil god's flesh and blood and the blood of the Sun King. If she is willing to draw some blood regularly for you to take or inject, it may help the blood of the Sun King in that eye completely suppress the evil god's flesh and blood, which means that the pain will no longer occur..."
"so……"
"If we can really solve the problem, then we can..."
"Can……"
Xia Yibing's face flushed red and she couldn't utter a word. She just hugged the girl stupidly.
Hitzfeld was completely dumbfounded.
Her mind is now full of one sentence.
