"It's not that I'm not in good health, I'm... Luvia, thank you for helping me last night..."
Dorothy pursed her lips and said, and Shade knew very well that she must be communicating with Lesia in her heart, complaining about Her Royal Highness's behavior on Saturday night.
"Gift!"
"Meow!"
Shade took the mask out of the gift box. It was a white cat mask that could cover the entire face and was fixed on the face with a tether.
Mia seemed startled by the mask and jumped away from her bowl of goat's milk. But soon she realized that it was not a living thing, so she stretched out her paw and patted the mask twice.
"Ordinary items."
Shade shook his head and put the mask aside:
"Sure enough, you can't expect to get relics like [Master Key] and [Ghost Iron Coin] every time."
Luvia looked at the mask and suddenly asked:
"Do you still remember the results I got from your divination before you set out for Green Lake for the first time?" (Chapter 1581)
"Of course I remember, cats, twins."
Luvia thought for a moment:
"You've almost figured out the meaning of twins. But what does the cat represent?"
"Representative, will I gain the 'Cat Transformation Technique' after that?"
Shade asked, but shook his head. Although his recent adventure has a lot to do with "cats", in fact it is mostly preparation for the "seven-day trip". In the Green Lake area, even without the cat-changing ability
, and it will not cause too much inconvenience to his movements.
"Yes, if your divination result was correct, what does the cat mean?"
So the time came to Tuesday, which is the day before the lunar eclipse and the 29th day of the Sowing Moon.
When he arrived at the Green Lake Hotel early in the morning, Shade learned from the newspaper that Miss Carina and her party would arrive in this city tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow. This was just like the original plan, and the delegation did not
Encountered an attack or accident on the road.
Shade did not see Megan in the hotel early that morning, but she sent a letter telling Shade to be prepared to land on the island tomorrow and Wednesday, as well as other new news.
That news was the action of the church. The church's new round of inspections on the central island of Green Lake has ended. Although it still has not been able to find a way to enter another island, it has discovered new features on the island: the rituals arranged on the island and the large
Any traces of damage within the scope will disappear silently.
This means that not only are the church's ring magicians unable to stay on the island for a long time, they cannot even arrange rituals to monitor changes on the island.
Now the church team has basically withdrawn from the central island of Green Lake. They have only arranged manpower and ceremonies on the normal lake surface to prevent anything from rushing out in the heavy fog. The entire lake area should have been put under martial law and even the lakeside should have been evacuated.
village. But now it is during the negotiation between the two countries, and almost the whole world's eyes are watching here. If Green Lake is completely blocked, there will definitely be a lot of noise.
In addition, the Prophet's Association believed that a total blockade was within Laplace Klein Howard's plan, so the lake area was not under martial law, and Megan had already found a way to land on the island.
The only thing they need to worry about now is that the two of them may bump into sporadic teams of the church on the island tomorrow.
Although he did not see Megan this Tuesday, Shade received letters from the Fulan brothers. Last week, Shade learned that the two brothers were ring warlocks belonging to the [Rosicrucian Order], and this organization absorbed some old
Believers of God [God of Love].
They wrote this letter to tell Shade that within the Rosicrucian Order, the true believers in the old god have arrived in the City of Glass, Michaela Blast Furnace City, and will be able to meet Shade today.
Without further ado, Shade set out from the Green Lake Hotel and took a carriage through the border checkpoint to the city on the south bank of Green Lake. While crossing the border, he also met Captain Rades and had a few words with the captain.
"Duke Carina will be arriving soon, and our tasks these days have become much heavier."
"The task of monitoring illegal border crossings?"
The captain shook his head:
"Of course not, it's a task of training and lining up. The Duke or other big shots might come to the barracks to inspect. My boss, Colonel Dewey, takes this matter very seriously. Look over there, the soldier who originally maintained the queuing order is a
There are only two squads left in the company now...guess, what did the others do?"
Shade thought for a moment:
"Cleaning?"
Judging from the expression on Captain Rades's face, it was obvious that he had guessed correctly.
The meeting place between the Foran brothers and Schade was at the "Victory Carrier Hotel" in the center of Michaela Blast City. The location here is quite good, and you can see the city hall and the meandering Duin River directly from the window.
In addition, Professor Boulanger, who helped Shade, also lives here, but he should still be taking his students to inspect the north shore of Green Lake.
The Victory Carrier Hotel is located at a five-way intersection. The hotel protrudes toward the center of the intersection, and the overall layout presents a triangular shape. When Shade paid the coachman the fare and entered the hotel with the parade passing by outside the door,
The Fulan brothers were sitting at the table waiting for Shade:
"Mr. Watson, this way."
They asked Shad to sit down, and then Eric Foran gave Shad a note with three house numbers on it:
"We have to rush to the meeting, so we won't go up with you."
He pointed upstairs:
"Mr. Richard, Mr. Upton and Ms. Hope are all in their respective rooms. You can go to them separately, or you can just go to one or two of them. They are all in the middle, and they are the most devoutly loved among us.
Believers of God, but Mr. Upton among them is usually weird. If you want to communicate with him later, please don’t mind his offense. Oh, we said you are our friend, you don’t have to worry about identity issues.”
Shade nodded to express his understanding, but asked another question:
"Would it be convenient to tell me how many people came to the [Rosicrucian Order] this time?"
The two brothers hesitated for a moment, and finally Charles spoke:
"We can't say the exact number, but it's definitely more than this."
He held out three fingers:
"In addition, our president is also here. He is a twelve-ring warlock. Now the president is in contact with the Zhengshen Church. He is discussing with us to take the initiative to expose our identity as a descendant of Edwards."
This approach is very wise. It can not only protect the Fulan brothers, but also prevent the [Rosicrucian Order] from completely losing its right to participate in this matter.
Shade nodded:
"Okay. I'll go up then... When will you be free? There are some things I want to talk to you about again. No, not in the past two days. How about the weekend?"
The two brothers thought for a while:
"It should be fine this weekend. We will contact my aunt then."
"no problem."
Shade nodded, said goodbye to his brothers and went upstairs.
It should be said that the industrial development of the City of Glass is reflected in all aspects. Although the Green Lake Hotel run by siblings Soren Green and Helena Green is the best hotel in Green Lake City, if it is compared with the City of Glass
Compared with peers, in fact, the interior decoration and living environment of Green Lake Hotel are not the best.
The Victory Carrier Hotel is what Shade remembers as a big-city hotel, similar to the "Plenty of Land Hotel" where Luvia lived in Randall Valley at the beginning of this year.
Not only is the decoration level first-class, but the rooms reserved for wealthy guests on the upper floors are also quite luxurious.
Among the Rosicrucians, the three disciples of Eros all live on different floors. Among them, Mr. Upton and Ms. Hope, who are rated as having "bad personalities", live in ordinary rooms on the second floor, with different house numbers.
They are 215 and 221. Mr. Richard, the highest ranking among the three, lives in luxury suite No. 402 on the fourth floor.
Shade chose to go to the fourth floor first, probably because it was a working day in the morning, so the corridor on the fourth floor was so quiet that when Shade knocked on the door on the fourth floor, he felt that the knocking was so loud.
unexpected.
Soon there were footsteps behind the door, and then a voice sounded from inside the door:
"who is it?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Richard? I am the friend that Mr. Fulan mentioned."
After he finished speaking, the door was opened, and a short, gray-haired old man who looked to be in his fifties appeared behind the door. He frowned slightly, looked at Shade up and down, and then suddenly said:
"You are disloyal!"
"Sorry, what?"
Shade blinked suspiciously, and the old man shook his head:
"You obviously heard me clearly. I said: You are not loyal. Come in and don't talk at the door."
"But didn't you just say that I..."
"Young man, don't be stupid. In this era, how many people can you find who will be loyal to one love throughout their lives? Human hearts are complex and emotions are changeable. Compared with other people I have met, you are not the worst.
That kind of man."
With that said, he motioned for Shade to follow him into the room.
The two sat down in the living room, but Mr. Richard did not prepare tea for Shade. Moreover, after sitting down, he did not give Shade a chance to speak, but handed Shade a picture album.
The picture album is the size of an ordinary book, but very thin, with only about a dozen pages. It is held together by six silver metal book rings on the sides. This is not an ordinary item. It has miraculous elements, but the traces of the elements are not very obvious. It should belong to someone
A magical item.
"Look at each picture and tell me what you see."
Old Mr. Richard said. Seeing Shade's hesitation, he added:
"Every time I meet a ring magician who is willing to sit down and talk, I invite them to take my 'psychological test.' Every painting in this is an abstract pattern. You just need to tell me what they think best to you."
Just like it. The results of the test represent your views on love, marriage and lovers. Please do this before our formal conversation begins."
This sounds a lot like the kind of test a foreigner would do in his hometown.
