After confirming the situation in the conference room, Shade gently opened the door. A strong and firm man's voice immediately came out, and the content of his speech was to protest against the harsh criticism of Article 5 regarding the types of weapons.
Shade walked in without looking at anyone, turned around and closed the door gently. Then, he bent over and walked to the wall on Delarion's side, sat down on the free chair, and looked to the side.
Nodding to his people:
"Have you finished talking about the export controls of McMannon's new steam cannon?"
This is one of the key points of today's negotiations, and no one except the core figures of the negotiating delegation and relevant personnel at Yodel Palace knows about it.
Although the middle-aged gentleman beside Shade did not recognize him, he still lowered his voice and replied:
"It's not going well. I don't think there will be any results today. We can't agree on the caliber limit of steam cannons... You are..."
Shade shook his MI6 ID, and then made a silent gesture. The latter nodded in realization. Although Shade didn't know what he understood, this was what Shade wanted to achieve.
So, Shade sat in his seat from 10:30 to 11:30. During this period, he got up and helped the servants who knocked on the door to open the door of the conference room so that they could come in to pour tea and change water. After collectively expressing their gratitude to Kasenrik,
During the protest, he also booed with the others, and after Count Himes of Delarion made a wonderful argument, he and the people around him clapped excitedly.
The people sitting at the table were all negotiators, and those beside the wall were secretaries and consultants. Therefore, no one doubted Sha De's identity. When the agenda was temporarily over at 11:30 in the morning, the negotiators stood up and left.
He and others approached the table to clear away the papers on the table, and he took the opportunity to look through the recorded contents.
This certainly looked suspicious, but Shade only glanced at each page, so although some people were confused, no one asked Shade what he was doing.
After writing down hundreds of pages of documents, Shade left the conference room with everyone. He returned to the bathroom, made sure that the unconscious man was about to wake up, and prepared to leave.
Just when I came out of the bathroom stall, I happened to see the Fulan brothers talking in front of the mirror by the sink. They were not in the 404 conference room, and they were probably involved in other agendas today.
Since he happened to bump into it, Shade also walked over, turned on the faucet next to Eric Foran, wetted his palms, and raised his hands to fix his hair in the mirror:
"Is there any news?"
He asked abruptly, because he was looking at himself in the mirror, so the two brothers were a little stunned, not knowing who they were talking to.
So Shade reminded:
"Ivy Club in Green Lake City, you agree to help me find clues about the sun, moon and stars pattern."
When he said this, the two brothers understood. The one with glasses on his right eye was the elder brother of the twins, Mr. Eric Foran. He was dressed very much like Shade, both wearing a white shirt and a dark tie.
And black formal wear:
"It turns out it's you...Sorry, the old servant at home helped us look for my grandfather's belongings, but there is no news about the pattern."
Shade nodded regretfully, still looking at the mirror and arranging his hair:
“Have you guys been to Central Island in Green Lake lately?”
Both brothers shook their heads, so Shade reminded:
"You guys have been keeping a low profile lately. The Thirteen Rings 'Mirror Hidden Man' from the [Mirror Association] is here."
"What? Oh, sorry."
Charles noticed that his voice was a little louder, but fortunately there was no one else in the bathroom for the time being. Shade's [Heart of Stone] could only hear the heartbeat of the man who was unconscious by him in the cubicle:
"Of the four Edwards brothers who left the island, you two are the grandsons of the second son Edward. There is a pair of eight-ringed twin brothers in the Mirror Association. You are most likely the grandsons or grandsons of the eldest son Hohenheim. I was on the island with
They have met each other and can only say that the Mirror Hidden Man is indeed well-deserved."
Hearing what he said, both Fulun brothers showed awe-inspiring expressions, apparently because the mysterious man around them escaped unharmed after fighting with the thirteen-ring warlock, and they felt that the other party was more mysterious and unpredictable than they thought.
"Thank you for your reminder. We will pay attention to it. In fact, we have no plans to land on the island, at least not yet."
Eric said, Shade nodded in front of the mirror, took out the ivory comb from his pocket and continued to comb his hair. He couldn't quite remember which girl left this comb at his home.
【Lecia Cavendish's.】
"Also, I would like to know if there is any other reason for you to come to the local area at this time besides the official arrangement?"
Shade continued to ask. The two brothers looked at each other and nodded slowly:
"Yes, because of a prophecy...a prophecy that often appears in dreams."
"No need to go into details, I know the prophecy. So, it is indeed like this..."
He told the brothers the entire family tree, focusing on the fifth and sixth generations:
"The six people of the sixth generation, you and the twins from the Mirror Association are ring magicians, and the other two are ordinary people. From the current perspective of the fifth generation, only the children of Alphonse, the third son of the fourth generation, are still alive.
.I know the latter, are you interested in meeting her or him? That should be considered your aunt or uncle."
He asked proactively, and Charles looked at his brother and asked him to make up his mind. Eric was a little moved, but did not agree immediately:
"It would be nice to meet our elders, but we want to think about it again. After all, the family reunion is the content of the weird prophecy, and we don't know what will happen if we actually meet."
"Okay, one more thing. I found out the identity of your ancestor, Klein Edwards, the first lord of Green Lake."
For the first time since the conversation began, Shade turned his eyes from himself in the mirror to the two brothers. He shook the ivory comb in his hand:
"The identity of the other party is very unexpected, so this information cannot be provided to you for nothing."
"What do you need?"
Charles, who was wearing a monocle on his left eye, asked, and Shade raised the corner of his mouth:
"Help me collect confidential documents from the negotiation meeting."
"this......"
Although their ancestors were nobles of Delarion, the two brothers were born in Carsonric and grew up in Willendale. They are not foreigners without a hometown like Shade, and it is not easy for them to betray them.
"Your ancestors were thirteen rings."
Shade said calmly, and his brother Eric Fulan immediately changed his words:
"No problem, we will help you collect it. But we also hope that you can provide us with protection when the time is right."
"sure."
Shade smiled and put the comb in his pocket:
"Your ancestor's full name is Laplace Klein Howard. He was a twelve-ring diviner who betrayed the Seer Association more than 200 years ago."
He patted his chest:
"I bring a dice that can interfere with fate, so I dare to say his full name casually. You must be careful. I am not sure whether your ancestor is dead. If he is not dead, we'd better not say it casually.
His full name. After all, he is the fortune teller of the Thirteen Rings."
"Sir, are you sure?"
Charles Fullan asked in a panic, Shade nodded:
"Not only can I investigate this, but the church and the Prophets Association will also find out soon. The church will probably get involved in Edwards's matter, and will soon be able to find out about you two through your grandfather. After all, all
Among the descendants of Edwards, you are the easiest to find through official channels. This may only take a few days, or it may take a few weeks. Think carefully about how to deal with the church."
Shade was referring to the two men's status as ring magicians. They were obviously not members of the church.
The two brothers looked a little bad, and Shade was ready to say goodbye:
"Don't worry too much. The church won't do anything to you. If you want to continue to cooperate with me, just collect the confidential documents of the meeting and give them to me next time I come to you."
Although Shade didn't know when he would come next, it was probably because Lesia asked him to help collect information again.
"If you don't want to cooperate with me, you can tell the church about me... They can probably guess who I am."
The two brothers shook their heads hurriedly:
"Sir, of course the cooperation can continue. There is no problem with the documents."
After all, reporting Shade would not do them any good, and it would not be able to get them out of a dangerous situation.
"Well, happy cooperation, see you next time. Don't be so pessimistic, maybe the church can't find you? As long as you don't take the initiative to expose your identity and don't take the initiative to go to that island, there is actually not much danger. As for that
The prophecy of bloodline...that is a major event for the entire family, and it involves not just the two of you."
After saying that, Shade left the bathroom. He had a good impression of the Fulen brothers, and the two brothers didn't seem like the kind of people who would give up everything to chase for power. If they could, they would still
It would be in everyone's interest to distance themselves from the Chosen One and Edwards' secrets.
[So, do you have any guesses about the candidates for the Space Chosen One? 】
When Shade was about to throw away the glass slipper, "she" suddenly asked in Shade's ear.
Shade looked at the small, crystal clear shoes in his hand and shook his head:
"While doing divination for Dorothy and Lesia, I unexpectedly learned that this ceremony of the chosen ones involves a process of 'merging multiple individuals into one individual', that is, the chosen ones have the characteristics of 'many persons in one'. So this
It’s really hard to say. However, it must be related to Edwards.”
Speaking of this, he remembered that after the Battle of the Pantanal last winter, when he and Sister Devlin returned to the Everglades to liberate the soul of the "Swamp Witch", that poor woman's soul had
It is said that he is "two persons in one"(note).
Although Shade didn't understand what this specifically meant, it also meant that he seemed to meet the requirements of the chosen one.
【You really don’t understand? 】
"She" asked gently. Shade felt as if he was being hugged by someone from behind, and the person holding him whispered softly into his ear.
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-changing App, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible]
He subconsciously reached out and touched his ears, and sure enough he didn't touch anything.
"not understand."
As he spoke, the shoe in his hand was thrown out. Before the glass slipper landed, although the man's shadow was always reflected on the smooth floor, it could not reflect the expression on the stranger's face.
