The rain didn't stop, and when the group left the villa, the rain became even heavier. Rain clouds enveloped the entire Green Lake area, and the two cities on the north and south sides both experienced the largest rainstorm since the spring of 1854.
of heavy rain.
After leaving the villa, Megan took her maids and Shade and returned to the cruise ship anchored on the Duin River. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner.
We definitely don’t have time to go to the City of Glass, so the last target left today is Bad-Eye Barry’s private cruise ship docked in Green Lake. Based on the clues found in the first three locations, Megan believes that there should be the most people on the cruise ship.
Direct cultists' connection to the island.
Shade didn't care about this, but he had accepted Megan's invitation, so he planned to go home and bring Mia over first, so that the cat could also enjoy a good dinner. When saying goodbye to Megan, Mei
Gen also specially sent someone to take Shade back to the Green Lake Hotel - even though she knew that Shade would never live there, and smiled and said that maybe Shade would need some help when he came back.
Today, he thought he would be able to go home in the evening, so he did not ask the girls to help take care of the cat. Therefore, when he went home, he thought there was no one at home. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the basement where the glass slipper fell, he unexpectedly found someone there.
I saw Luvia's shoes on the shoe rack in the foyer.
"Louvia, are you getting off work so early?"
Shade shouted to the upstairs, and the purple-eyed girl's voice immediately came from the third floor. She was busy in the room equipped with astrology equipment, while Shade thought that if Luvia hadn't had dinner yet, he wouldn't go.
Had dinner with Megan.
"It's not that I got off work early, but I asked for leave and came here in advance to set up the equipment. The association confirmed that the lunar eclipse at the end of the month will occur next Wednesday, which is the 30th day of the month of sowing. In the morning, the doctor sent me the lunar eclipse sent by the college
The notice requires all correspondence astronomy students in the central region of the Old World to record the stars in advance."
Today is the 21st of the month of sowing, and it seems that the astrological record needs to be very comprehensive.
When Shade picked up the little Mia who greeted him and walked up the stairs, Luvia was still upstairs. Shade also came to the third floor, looking at the purple-eyed girl, leaning forward slightly,
In front of the astronomical telescope, looking at the sky with the setting sun:
"Shad, take your cat to have dinner. I guess I'll be busy for a while."
She said without looking back, but her tone sounded very excited. After all, astronomical phenomena like "lunar eclipse" are not something that just happen.
"So do you need me to bring you something? Megan Edwards invited me to dinner, and I can pack some and bring it back."
Now Luvia finally turned her head, but still did not straighten up:
"What? The lady invited you to dinner, and you have to pack the food for another lady? Oh, Shade, how did you become..."
She joked, then turned back to adjust her stargazing equipment:
"You can bring whatever you want, or I can eat bread at home, no problem."
"How is this okay? I'll bring you food when I get back. It's past five o'clock now...I'll be back around seven-thirty."
Considering that he had to go to Green Lake, Shade extended the time.
"You can do it later. This is different from observing whales in the sea of stars last fall. Observing the lunar eclipse requires more equipment..."
She turned her head again and asked Xia De with an expression that was one part shy, one part bold and one part teasing:
"Why, my bending action finally made you realize that I have a good figure? Your eyes have always been focused."
"Oh me......"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I will definitely not leave tonight."
The purple-eyed girl said generously, and waved to little Mia:
"This time, you probably have to sleep in the closet again."
It can be seen that the cat is obviously the most unhappy one at this time.
Saying goodbye to the busy Luvia, Shade took little Mia back to the Green Lake area. Before entering the hidden wall, he turned the cat into a toy, but when Shade reached out and tried to touch the statue of the ancient god, another
He looked at the items stacked against the wall.
Although he thought that nothing would go wrong tonight, and it would probably not be very dangerous to check the cruise ship. But since he had to take the risk, and the unusual cloud pillar that appeared above the central island in the afternoon was still vivid in his mind, he thought it was better to do so.
Some are better.
First he looked at the [Night Watchman], then shook his head:
"No, it's not that exaggerated."
Then he reached out and picked up "Feliana's Notes", took out the two cards sandwiched between them, and put "Twin Lovers" into his pocket:
"Safety first."
Then, he put the small book with red leather cover that Miss Daniste gave him, which is an alchemical item that can release the magic of the Thirteen-ring sorceress, into his pocket. Finally, he put the small book with angel feathers between it
I also put the small book on my body.
Now, Shade felt much more at ease.
Considering that little Mia seldom moved around Green Lake, Shade walked out of the wall of the hotel warehouse and restored the cat to its original state.
Although it is raining on the ground, the basement is still dry. The cat obviously has a good impression of this place where a large amount of food is stored, but unfortunately it is not the time to let it eat.
When leaving the hotel through the back door, Shade stuffed the cat into the inner pocket of his coat and held up an umbrella. Then he did not forget to check on the boy in the trash can.
The boy was still not there, but everything Shade had left in the morning had been taken away. The boy couldn't write, so he left a picture in his trash can, smeared with soot on a newspaper.
Shade didn't quite understand the meaning of that painting, but he could guess that the boy had a place to shelter from the rain in this weather.
After all, it doesn't look like he's been wandering here for the first time.
"After Green Lake is over, I can... no, I can't think about this now."
Holding an umbrella, he walked back to the front entrance of the Green Lake Hotel through the back door, and then boarded the carriage prepared for him by the witch. In the evening of a rainy day, there was no one on the street, and the carriage with the "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" logo carried Shade
, all the way to the dock.
The witch's cruise ship was docked at the pier. Shade handed the umbrella to the maid and when she approached the cabin with the cat in her arms, the red-haired head maid motioned to Shade to go to other rooms and wait:
"The lady is meeting with the guests, which will be over in ten minutes. Please go and have a cup of hot tea first, dinner is ready. In addition, after five minutes, please knock on the door directly and go to the lady...
The young lady needs to be seen that she is with a man."
Shade nodded with understanding. All the great witches must have had such troubles recently.
Then, he noticed that the young maid in front of him looked at the cat he was holding. She pursed her lips and made a restrained expression. It was obvious that she also liked cute cats like Xiao Mia.
.
The stranger who met the witch was also a woman, Ms. Sarah Kaufman, the wife of the mayor of Green Lake and the daughter of the Earl of Chichester. It is said that the current mayor Roland Kaufman can become the mayor.
It is inseparable from the influence of his wife's family.
Of course, this kind of thing should never be said in front of Mr. Mayor.
Ms. Kaufman came to Meghan because the ongoing negotiations between the two countries required the attendance of some important business representatives. Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals certainly meets the requirements, but the problem is that Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals is difficult to be classified as a company of a certain country.
Enterprises, they have businesses in Delrayon and Kasenlik, and the registered place of Paradise Island Pharmaceutical is in the Principality of Milson, which is independent of the two countries.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
Therefore, Delrayon asked Ms. Kaufman to contact Megan first to test her thoughts, and then send more important people to contact her. If an opportunity can be found, let Paradise Island Pharmaceutical announce that it is Delrayon
Enterprises, that’s even better.
But Meghan and Audrey would only do this if they were crazy.
Shade then went to a nearby cabin to drink a cup of hot tea. After the maid knocked on the door to indicate the time, he hid the very conspicuous Mia in his pocket, then went to the top floor of the cruise ship and knocked on the door of the reception room.
Door.
"Please come in."
A familiar voice came from inside the door. Judging from the heat of the pendant on her chest, it was the witch Audrey who spoke, not the sorceress Megan.
Shade pushed the door open and saw a lady with brown shawl hair and a plump lady with an opal ring on her finger sitting opposite each other. Their maids stood on the side of the masters. The lady
She should be the mayor's wife. She is quite elegant, but she looks over forty years old. Even with makeup, she can't hide her old age.
The witch, whose actual age is unknown, sits opposite her and looks even younger.
Shade pretended to be surprised and said:
"Meghan, I didn't know you had guests. Just now Jill said you were here, so I came right over."
The warm yellow light in the cabin illuminated the lazy witch, and she waved to Shade:
"Sweetheart, why did you come just now? Come here quickly."
Shade accepted the title with a smile and sat next to her. The witch did not forget to introduce to Ms. Kaufman:
"This is... my new friend."
After speaking, he winked at the lady in her forties:
"Please don't tell anyone about this, I'm not ready yet."
Ms. Kaufman smiled and nodded with a very understanding expression:
"So, do you agree to the proposal just now? We will welcome Duke Carina Cavendish to our city at the ball next week. It will be very lively."
"are you going?"
So the witch asked Shade, her voice was very soft. Shade made a considerate expression, and naturally stretched his left hand on the back of the sofa, as if to hold the young lady with brown hair:
"Meghan, I said, you don't always have to arrange my things. But if you have time, you can consider participating... Will there be members of the Kasenlik delegation there? I and
Several of the representatives in the delegation are familiar to each other, and they would probably be a little embarrassed if they met."
