In the morning, when I looked up at the sky was still clear, in the afternoon, it suddenly became cloudy, and the dark clouds gathered, and bright lightning faintly leaked out of the black rumbling clouds.

The heavens changed, and the sea was so turbulent that the ships that sailed through the narrow sea to the northern seas staggered like drunkards, and the sailors on them shouted hoarse and panicked, and some of the emaciated and weak feet could not stand at all, and were forced to follow the ships from side to side.

Somewhere below deck,

Melisandre, dressed in red, looked out the narrow window and felt a little unusual about the raging waters.

"There should have been no storm today."

Muttering like this, she subconsciously thought of something, so she lifted the futon, immediately got up and put on her boots, and was about to leave the room, when the shaking of the hull suddenly stopped.

Turning her head to look out, the sea breeze dissipated inexplicably, the sea water returned to calm, the lightning became weaker and weaker, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the corners of the red-robed woman's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

"And say no. Only the power of the Lord of Light can so lightly soothe the irascible drowning gods. ”

……

The rickety ship was irritating, but fortunately the time for Charles to stay here had arrived, and he took one last look at the dark surroundings outside the window, his eyes closed, and then—

The feeling of weightlessness struck suddenly, followed by a warm breath.

The climate in the courtyard of the house deep in the city was much more pleasant than the cold and irritable sea, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the twilight of the sunset outside through the balcony windows covered with blue curtains.

It's about four or five o'clock in the afternoon!

There was a faint rustling sound outside the door, the sounds of the servants downstairs preparing dinner, walking, talking, metal utensils clashing......

Charles didn't leave the room in a hurry, but changed out of the "exotic" robe on his body, and then put on a change of clothes that had been prepared before entering, so that he could sort out the events and results of this entry.

"This thing should sell for a lot of money, right?"

Playing with a black, cold diamond-shaped crystal, he thought.

This time he entered for a long time, but he only saved Eddard's family, and other than that, it was probably the obsidian that he casually asked for when he was on Dragonstone.

This was no ordinary obsidian, as he could clearly feel the special power hidden in it.

And in the world of ice and fire, this thing has a more fantastical name - Dragon Crystal

A special crystal forged from the fire of the gods of the center of the earth, as explained by the natives of the world of Ice and Fire, Charles felt that the gods should not be so cheap.

But apparently this is no ordinary stone.

"I'll go to the watch shop tomorrow and ask, just go to that detective office, it's been so long, there should be news."

Thinking so, a calm female voice suddenly sounded outside the door, it was the voice of Grace, Charles's newly hired butler.

"Master Cranston, dinner is ready."

"Just come."

Charles replied loudly.

It's okay not to mention it, when it comes to dinner, he just feels hungry, the food in the Middle Ages is not particularly bad, but obviously the food on the ship is not very good.

Put away Long Jing and walked out of the door, a thin woman dressed in housekeeper clothes stood at the door in a regular manner, with a straight waist and a thin figure.

She's a housekeeper, but don't get me wrong, Charr doesn't have any bad intentions about hiring her, because Grace is nearly fifty years old.

She has brown hair with a few strands of white hair, ordinary but tough facial features, and slightly thin lips, which makes her look a little mean and old-fashioned.

It was true, and the old lady was so good at managing her servants that she could not rub a little sand in her eyes—in a sense, it seemed to be an advantage.

In addition to Grace, there are four other servants and cooks, but most of them are women, which is not Charles's bad taste, but now, he doesn't need to do manual work or clean the yard, clean the stables, feed the horses, or so on, so the ingenious female servant has become the first choice.

Walking down the stairs, the long table is full of roast pork, roast fish, beef burgers, baked potatoes, fruit salad, and plenty of creamy mushroom soup.

Relatively speaking, the supper was a bit excessive, but later after the master had finished eating, the servants also needed to eat, so much was prepared—food and lodging, which were stipulated in the employment contract.

Anne, a little girl with long brown hair and curly hair, was sitting on a chair across from the long table, and when she saw Charles approaching, she didn't run away as usual, but she didn't say hello, but her blue eyes looked at him a little timidly.

This is the credit of getting along for more than a week before, and Charles has been thinking about how to improve the relationship with the girl during that time, but in the end he didn't actually do anything, just get along with them normally - although the child has a good memory, he is also very forgetful.

"Waiting for me?" Smiling and greeting, Charles sat down on the other side of the long table, and the servant then served him the dishes.

The girl didn't speak, but nodded. She was a very well-behaved child, even a little too well-behaved, and did not have any of the traits that Charr remembered, but was quiet, like a little lady.

It may be in her nature, or it may be due to her upbringing, but as her guardian, Charles has little to worry about - aside from her unknown illness.

"Did you take the medicine that Dr. Domo prescribed for you on time?"

"Yes." The sound is subtle and soft.

"How does it feel?"

"It's fine."

"Tell me if you have any situation."

"Hmm"

……

After a quiet but relaxed dinner, the servants cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Charles returned to his bedroom to get ready to rest after saying goodnight to Anne.

In the world of ice and fire, although there is no danger, the first time he makes that kind of bold move, there is still a lot of psychological pressure, and he can't get a good rest after running around on the ship for days.

So in general, the charr is still very tired, both mentally and physically. Lying on the velvet bed, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

……

Following

After washing up and having breakfast, Charles put on black pants and leather boots, a tuxedo formal suit, and a top hat that was popular in the era, and then left the house with a cane.

He was going to take Long Jing to the watch store to "identify" it, and then he would sell it or keep it before making plans.

At the same time, he can also stop by the Little Spirit Detective Agency, which is located on Martin Street, where the watch shop is located, not far from the watch shop.

The air in Pita is fresh and cold in the morning, and the smell of the ocean outside the city wafts through the city, forming a thin layer of white mist that fills the Black Rock Road with a little bit of moisture.

The carriage rolled over, colliding on the hard ground with a small sound, and there were few pedestrians at this time, so the speed was very fast, and in about a quarter of an hour, he was at his destination.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Charles noticed that the detective he had entrusted seemed to be in trouble.

A group of people are fighting inside!

After a few glances, Charles whispered a word to the coachman, then straightened his bow tie and stepped inside.

After coughing dryly, he raised his voice and said, "If I were you, it would be better to get out of here quickly." ”

The sound is clear,

Two groups of people were fighting in the room, and one of them was led by a scar-faced man, who was bending back with his bruised left eye, just in time to see the young man walking in.

"Nosy, boy!" He glared at Charles hatefully, and was about to grab his stool and step forward to continue the fight with a tall young man, but suddenly stopped, because Charles said something more.

"I don't want to be nosy, but unfortunately the police probably won't care."

Not just Scarface, but all the people in the detective agency who were fighting stopped moving and looked at him.

"Police?"

Charles snorted outside, "Oh, do you see the coachman?" I think you'll be familiar with the direction he left. ”

"You ......"

His companion was furious, but Scarface waved him to stop him, glaring at the other side, then covering his eyes and walking out the door.

"Boy, we'll see!" Passing by Charles, he pushed him hard, and the group sped away.

The gang was so crisp that Charles was a little disappointed. He thought he needed to do it himself, and then pretend to slap his face or something......

"Anyway, I don't seem to be able to beat them without spells, right?"

Thinking about the question secretly, Charles looked up at the room, took off his top hat, and said hello with a smile.

"Good morning, Ms. Zoe."
