Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Stolen Windmill

"Will there be gods in the new world, will there be history, and what language will the humans speak there?"

"Not all places will have civilization......"

"Even if it's another maelstrom of barbarians, ah......" The countess seemed to be talking to herself, but the smile on her face was so dazzling that Magellan wanted to look away, "It's more interesting than any kingdom." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Magellan turned his face so that he could not see the countess, and sighed in a low voice: "I'm not interested. ”

"Why?"

The twins ran over from the other side of the deck, looking at Magellan with immaculate curiosity.

"Uh......"

Magellan couldn't find the answer, he didn't know when and why he became the way he was.

Far away on the horizon, a storm was galloping, and Odin, the Viking god of brutality, was galloping across the earth on his six-legged mount, and thunderbolts rolled like horses' hooves in the great darkness that covered the sky and the sun.

"Something bad is going to happen......"

Magellan sighed under his breath, but the twins had only excitement on their faces, and they stood on the side of the ship and laughed out loud as they watched the lightning that pierced through the sky.

"It's going to rain!"

The wind swept in with black clouds and torrential rain, bright lightning and terrifying thunder.

The Swan moved lightly in the rain, and the white sails cut through the wind and the rain curtains. An invisible force protects the four people on board, and when the wind blows the raindrops close to the deck, they change direction, and the raindrops seem to be in the wind that changes direction, sometimes gathering together, sometimes being blown away.

"Something bad is going to happen. ”

"Maybe it's not as bad as you think. ”

......

"The chaos in Brittania has been going on for three months, and shortly after you left, a piece of news swept through the country like a storm until now......"

Magellan was half-lying comfortably on the sofa in Sherlock Holmes's house, listening to Arthur, who had not been seen for a long time, babbling in an exaggerated tone.

"Then again, it's a shame I didn't make it to that trial. ”

"There's nothing to regret about that," said Holmes, smoking his pipe and with the self-defeating relaxation of nothing to do, "and in fact Professor Magellan was so dissatisfied with the final result that he pointed his sword at the hunter. ”

"It's a shame......"

Arthur wanted to see Magellan fight with others, and he always did.

"And Professor Magellan, what do you think of the naming of the new world?"

"Don't say anything about the new world in front of my eyes. ”

Magellan lazily enjoyed the precious sunshine of the city, and he was unable to speak.

"It's rare that Professor Magellan has no interest in anything really new. ”

"Because that thing won't fall into my hands. ”

"Your greed is impressive. ”

"Thank you......"

A sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Magellan's answer.

"Is that good news, Detective?"

Holmes was still lazily lying on the couch: "No, the real sad thing is that all the people who came to me didn't bring the mystery, they just didn't even trust the police. ”

Watson shook his head and opened the door, and a gentleman who was a complete stranger walked in.

"Hello, Mr. Holmes. ”

It was an eagle man.

When the guests saw Arthur, he was amazed.

"Hello, Mr. Luo Ping. ”

Magellan politely stood up and greeted the eagle man, and was surprised to find that there had been a meeting between them at one time.

"Hello, Professor Magellan. ”

As if feeling a little impolite, the Hawkman did not say anything to the two gentlemen he already knew, but bowed to Holmes: "My name is Wen, as you can see, I am an Eagleman, and this time I took the liberty of visiting for a theft." ”

"Stolen?"

Arthur asked the question almost impatiently, even a little rudely before Holmes, who was really ready to answer.

"Sit down, tell me, you see, my friend, Arthur is curious to know what is going on. ”

Sherlock Holmes took out his pipe and shoved it into his mouth, and Watson put down a cup of black tea in front of his guests.

"That's what stole it. ”

This sentence caused Arthur to sigh exaggeratedly.

"What?"

"Windmills. Arthur answered the question in place of the Hawkman, "The clue to the Eagle's Nest." ”

"A light and small piece of machinery, which I carefully tucked away in my room after getting it, was missing this morning. ”

"It's only been one night......"

Arthur made no secret of his disappointment, to which the Hawkman could only smile bitterly.

"Is the window of the room open?"

Magellan's sudden question stunned the Hawkman.

"You mean?"

"As far as I know, that windmill does fly away on its own. ”

The Hawkman looked at Sherlock Holmes and then at Magellan in embarrassment, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

"I'll go and see, Mr. Holmes, and enjoy your vacation. ”

Arthur smiled and stood up and opened the door.

"I'm sure Professor Magellan can help you find your lost property. Holmes smiled and stood up to shake the Hawkman's hand and say goodbye.

The Hawkman smiled awkwardly and followed Arthur out of the room.

They soon arrived at the Hawkman's quarters, where he kept his windmills, thanks in large part to Arthur's constant urging.

It is an attic on top of a five-story apartment, and it is very simply furnished, except for the large windows that are very characteristic of the eagle man, it is not different from the average room.

"I put it on this table last night. ”

In the center of the room is a wooden table with a map and a ruler and pencil on it.

"There's never any wind here, and it's extremely unbearable for an eagle man, so I'm pretty sure ......"

"Yes, but that windmill will fly away on its own. ”

The eagle man was finally convinced that Magellan's words were literal, not metaphors and descriptions.

"......"

"Everything that is out of the ordinary in the world can be explained by the presence of the essence. Magellan walked over to the window that occupied an entire wall, looked at the street and the crowd below, "Find a reliable apprentice in magic, add a reasonable amount of coins, and the treasure will be back in your hands." ”

Arthur laughed, and he jumped from Magellan's side: "Come back immediately." ”

The Hawkman watched Arthur move from house to house and sighed helplessly, "He's a very good bounty hunter. ”

"I'm curious," Magellan said, turning to look at the eagle man, "why did you suddenly start looking for the eagle's nest? At least for twenty years, the eagle man knew that the windmill named Eagle Eagle existed, but did nothing......
