"I will handle the affairs of Grace and Helen. They will follow Granny Cassandra to Green Lake soon. I know what should be done. Now, we need more canto fragments."
Xia De said softly, and Yin Luna took over the task:
"When I get to the Holy See next week, I will find a way. See you in Green Lake, Shade,"
"I'm thinking about whether I should go to Green Lake, just like I did in Randall Valley, to help you."
Luvia said again, but was stopped by Sha De and Yin Luna. Yin Luna felt that this time was more dangerous than last time. Sha De not only had this reason, but also because if Luvia also went to Green Lake, there might be someone
At that time, all five members of the team gathered in that ancient city where there were already many conflicts.
Although there is no evidence, Xia De always feels that when all five members of the group appear, something big and unplanned will definitely happen.
Because Yin Luna was going to another place soon, so that night, Shade, Yin Luna, Luvia and Dorothy had dinner together. Although Saturday afternoon was a date time exclusively for the princess and the female writer,
Dorothy didn't feel that her time was being invaded. She liked this loyal reader very much.
After dinner, Yin Luna and Luvia left, and Dorothy actually said goodbye with a smile. At about seven o'clock, Lesia's carriage stopped at the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Tonight was the time for Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Due to the "loyalty" challenge raised by "Desire" underwater on Wednesday night, Shade has set the goal of the final enlightenment rune of his sixth ring as the "Bell Tower Lover" who can achieve physical fusion.
So during the evening class that night, Shade asked Lesia a question:
"Do you think I'm loyal?"
"This is a weird question."
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting on the inside of the desk, was playing with the pink "Spiker of Love":
"You want to ask, what are you loyal to? Country? Race? Faith? Or your love for a certain girl?"
As he spoke, he pointed the "weapon" in his hand at little Mia who was lying on the parchment that was said to be the transcript of "Lovers in the Bell Tower" 500 years ago. The cat did not dodge in the face of the weapon, but lay down lazily and squinted
Close your eyes.
"Yes, there are so many levels of loyalty... Do you think I am loyal to love?"
Shade sat obediently on the chair outside the desk and waited for the "trial". Lecia smiled and poked the cat with the "thorn of love". The orange cat let out a "meow" and got up and moved on the desk.
Checked the location.
"Different people have different definitions of loyalty. I heard that Viscountess La Maria, who lives in the South District of Tobesk, has five or six young and handsome lovers, but the Viscount still believes that his wife is very important to the family and to love.
Very loyal...because she always cooks dinner for him herself.
"This...oh, stop teasing little Mia."
Shade picked up the cat who was about to be poked again, and Lecia smiled and stopped teasing the cat:
"Viscountess La Maria is a special case. In terms of values that people can accept, of course you are not loyal to love, my knight. But loyalty is also relative. My requirements for loyalty are not particularly high.
After all, if you are really loyal, Dorothy and I haven’t even had a chance...answer me a question."
She pointed to the content of the storybook with illustrations spread out on the table. This story was also "The Lovers of the Bell Tower", but it was for children who had just learned to read, so the cuts were smaller than the story Shade knew.
Big, the final outcome is not "the knight and his lover's corpse merge", but the knight returning home finds his lover seriously ill, so he finds the witch in the forest, exchanges his own arm for the elixir, and finally meets the recovered knight.
The girls hugged each other tightly in the bell tower when they parted.
Lesia asked:
"Shad Hamilton, if one day I am really in danger, are you willing to risk your life to save me?"
Shade nodded immediately:
"Of course I do, I won't let you go no matter what."
"You see, so at least I think you're loyal."
She took back the pink crystal spike in front of her, and then poked her chest:
"Speaking of which, one of the qualities a knight needs to have is 'loyalty'. Are you doubting your status as a knight?"
She smiled and pierced the sharp thorn into her heart, then opened her right hand, and in the pink halo, the crystal clusters grew into blooming flowers.
"I'm not doubting this. I'm thinking about the ending of 'Lovers in the Clock Tower' and imitating the power of the story to simulate becoming one with the girl."
After saying this, I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence. Sure enough, the red-haired girl joked with bright eyes:
"If you want to 'become one', you don't have to pursue extraordinary power. You can experience it tonight."
Seeing Shade's embarrassed look, she smiled again and put the crystal flower in her ear:
"I understand what you mean, Mystery-Bell Tower Lovers, right? The miracle of love, the story is so wonderful. I will help you, Shade, Dorothy and I will help you. Just if you
If you succeed, can you promise me something?"
"What?"
He asked curiously, and Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her lips:
"When the time comes, I must unfold your mystery, and I also want to experience what it feels like to be integrated with you in another way. When the time comes, will you become me, or will I become you?"
Or, is it something else strange?"
Lesia did not leave Saint Teresa Square that night. Now the entire kingdom's attention was focused on the Green Lake area. His Majesty the King who stayed in Tobesk was also very busy with negotiations, so Lesia
No one will notice if you spend the night here in Shard.
However, it is obvious that the blond writer, who was not present tonight but was still very involved, has not forgotten what happened last week when Lesia made her sleep until noon. It is difficult to say whether this was because he wanted to "retaliate" against Lesia.
Or maybe it was just to make the Saturday date more exciting. In short, Her Royal Highness the Princess almost didn't wake up early on Sunday morning. When her maids left with the sleepy princess, they looked at Shade a little strangely.
Shade hoped that no strange rumors would spread in the future.
After breakfast, I sighed that I didn't use the black time key last night, then said goodbye to little Mia who was unwilling to move, and went to Green Lake from the basement.
He still entered the alley from the back door of the Green Lake Hotel. Today's Green Lake is also foggy, and the smell in the alley behind the hotel is still the same. In the distance, the loud shouts of the marchers can be heard, and the light yellow
In the background of the sky in the distance, there are sparse black chimneys spewing black smoke into the sky.
This time Shade did not put down the food and leave, but talked with John, a boy who was already familiar with him:
"I want to find you a job, yes, a job. Although it may not necessarily pay, it will include food and accommodation, and it will be warm in winter."
Shade hasn't decided yet whether to let Megan help or Carina, but even if they let them help, it will be after the Green Lake incident is over and the boy will not be involved.
"John, would you like to go to work?"
The dirty boy hugged his puppy, sat on the trash can lid and raised his head and asked Xiang Shade:
"Can I continue to raise him?"
"Woof~"
The scrawny puppy also barked at Shade. It was probably older than Xiao Mia, but it didn't look smart.
"certainly."
Shade nodded affirmatively, and the boy nodded quickly:
"I do, I do."
"Okay, but you have to wait for a while. Strange things may have happened in the Green Lake area recently. You can continue with your life, but never go to strange places. Remember to come back and rest at night. If you encounter anything strange, let us know at any time.
Me, or leave a note."
Although the boy cannot read, he can draw.
The boy then nodded:
"Yes, sir."
He jumped down from the trash can and wanted to bow to Xia De to thank him, but Sha De stopped him:
"You can thank me again after I have arranged your affairs. Then we will see you next time. I wish you good luck."
"I wish you luck too, sir."
He held the puppy and watched Shade walking away in the alley until he completely disappeared.
Today is Sunday, and there is another banquet on the south bank of Green Lake in the evening. Shade plans to attend it. However, he should first deal with the things at hand during the day, such as the bones of the Edwards.
The person on duty at the Green Lake Hotel that morning was Mr. Solon Green. After hearing Shade's request, he said that there was no problem, but he still wrote to Megan first.
The reply came back quickly. Megan and Audrey had something to deal with this morning and were unable to participate in the investigation, so they asked Shade to take action. Therefore, Shade left the Green Lake Hotel at nine o'clock that morning, and followed
Taking the cemetery address given by Mr. Solon Green, we took a carriage to the Green Lake City Public Cemetery.
It is worth mentioning that as a relatively ancient lakeside city, the funeral traditions in the Green Lake area are different from other areas. In addition to traditional burials and cremations, people here also have the habit of sinking the corpses of the deceased into Green Lake.
Even before the central island of Green Lake was shrouded in fog, some citizens insisted on sending the bodies of the deceased to the island for burial, but today, these traditions can only be heard from some echoes of the past.
Soren Green and Helena Green are the sixth generation of the Edwards family. Their father, Mr. Green, and their maternal grandmother, Miss Maria Edwards, are both buried locally. The youngest daughter of the fourth generation left behind
As requested, a traditional water burial was held in the hope that she could return to her hometown, which she was destined to never return to. Therefore, Maria Edwards's body could no longer be found.
This time Shade went to the cemetery and could only visit the grave of the old gentleman named "Nicholas Green".
