Chapter 2377 The whereabouts of [Star Sword Stone]
"The Priory of the Light Guide?"
Shade looked away from the soup in front of him in surprise:
"I know this, I have acquaintances, I just go and investigate."
"In this case, the problem will be your fault again."
Miss Sylvia said softly, but Shade shook his head indifferently and brought up a new topic:
"Miss Sylvia, have you seen Emilia's [Ocarina of Time]? The power of that sword is very interesting."
"It's interesting, but I don't have the gift of time, and I'm not an elf from the Yuexi clan. That relic is not suitable for me."
She looked at Amelia again:
"The power of this sword is too dangerous for you. You are not Shade. If it is not necessary, try not to pull it out of the tree."
Emilia nodded quickly, and then Miss Sylvia looked at Margaret again:
"In addition to the things Shade asked you to investigate and deal with the daily matters, don't forget the tasks Vanessa gave you. Vanessa has high expectations for you. Now that you have become a witch's apprentice, you must understand yourself
When your identity changes, don't think of yourself as an ordinary girl. Look at Tifa, Matilda, Rita and Hailey, they are all your targets."
"Yes, Teacher Sylvia."
She nodded seriously, and then while Miss Sylvia turned to talk to Shade, she playfully winked at Shade.
During lunch, Agelina seemed a little depressed, but Shade had to concentrate on the bowl of weird-tasting soup in front of him, so he didn't find a chance to talk to her.
Fortunately, Margaret could see that Shade was really not interested in that bowl of soup, so she cleverly arranged for the servant to change Shade's soup bowl while continuing to serve the food.
After lunch, Shade actually talked with Agelina. The little princess and Shade were both sitting on the sofa in the study room, and the former grabbed her skirt:
"When I first came to Yuewan, I felt very excited. Later, I ate and played with Emilia, and I also felt that this life was very interesting. But now it seems that everyone has something to do, and I am the only one who is of no use.
Even little Liana is more useful than me."
"But Lecia didn't ask you to come to Moon Bay just to go to the battlefield like other girls. She knew that you only had one ring, and she just wanted you to experience the dangers of this era.
In fact, you are always willing to help everyone with various chores, and you don't have the airs of being a princess, and you don't complain that the living conditions here are not as good as the Yodel Palace. This is already amazing in my opinion, after all, you are also
It’s the first time I’ve left my elders and sister for a long trip.”
Shade said, but Agelina still wasn't happy:
"You are always good at comforting others. My sister and Princess Margaret are the people I want to be. They are so amazing."
"But you are not their age either."
Shade gently patted Agelina on the shoulder:
“Don’t always envy what others have, it’s better to think more about what you have.”
"I"
The red-haired little princess lowered her head to look at herself, then bit her lips:
"I'm younger than them."
"Yes, but you can just say this to me, but you must never say it in front of Lesia."
"I know, but I would rather grow up quickly and be able to take on the same responsibilities as my sisters. Being younger than them is not a good thing, and I don't think becoming mature is a bad thing."
This is probably the margin that young people have. After all, during breakfast, Lesia was still talking to Miss Carina at the dinner table about the topic of "returning to eighteen years old."
"Who says there are no benefits to being young?"
Shade asked again, and Agelina looked at him:
"What's the benefit? I can't do anything my sister can do."
Shade smiled and looked at his reflection in her eyes:
"Lecia never met me when she was your age. But when you were seventeen, you held my hand and talked to me."
Agelina's face immediately turned red, she pursed her lips and looked away embarrassedly, not looking into Shade's eyes:
"Really, I can't let my sister hear this. Otherwise, forget it, sister. Shade, I'm so happy to meet you. You're so kind."
She immediately hugged Shade's neck, and then kissed him very passionately.
As a result, Emilia soon became curious as to why Agelina suddenly became so happy.
The two of them trimmed the fast-growing branches of the small potted tree at the window on the second floor. Shade said hello to them, then went to say goodbye to Margaret and Miss Sylvia, planning to go back first.
Travel to Tobesk.
"Why are you so happy?"
The elf girl still couldn't hold back her curiosity, but Agelina smiled and shook her head, but refused to say:
"This is my secret. Can this sword really pause time?"
She looked at the sword stuck in the tree, and Emilia nodded slightly:
"It's possible, but I don't know how to use it. By the way, did you know? Shade can pause time by himself. I'm only telling you this, but don't tell anyone else."
The little princess nodded, and both of them lowered their voices:
"Sister also mentioned it to me. Pause time~ did Shade use it on you?"
Emilia blushed immediately:
"What are you thinking? He is just testing the power of this sword."
"If you hadn't thought about it with me, how would you have known what I was thinking?"
"Oh, Agelina!"
On the other side, Shade, who had lost his glass slipper and went home temporarily, wanted to talk to Old John, but when he arrived at home, he found that although Carina and Dorothy were not at home, the maid gave him a very thick
Portfolio:
"This was sent personally by Director Dark Anlos of MI6 at about ten o'clock in the morning."
Only then did Shade realize that entrusting MI6 to help investigate the bank accounts of the cultists was probably coming to fruition.
Of course, he did not open it immediately to check its contents, but chose to visit Old John first.
On Sunday afternoon, there were few customers in the pawn shop. When Shade walked in, the old man behind the counter was wearing a special single-eyed magnifying glass and observing an emerald in his hand.
When he heard the voice and looked up to see it was Shad, Old John said in surprise:
"You don't usually come to my place on weekend afternoons? Detective, what do you want to buy?"
"The Keeper-level relic [Star Sword Stone], I heard that this relic is in your hands."
Shade did not beat around the bush, so Old John was even more surprised:
"How do you know it's in our hands? Yes, it is indeed in our hands. That relic can realize the fixed production of special metals. It is an important doomsday reserve material. It is also a relatively important relic in the list of the Priory. You
Want to buy this?"
"Yes, this is not for sale?"
"Detective, there is nothing in this world that is not for sale. If the price is high enough, of course this can be traded, but what do you want this for?"
The old man looked at Shade's expression carefully and asked again without hesitation:
"I know you must be in Yuewan, so don't tell me that this has anything to do with the Chosen One Ceremony."
Telling the truth means that the price will increase or even the other party will not sell, but Shade still nodded:
"It's just a suspicion, but I am not the chosen one, don't get me wrong."
"You are really honest, but since you are willing to tell the truth, I won't lie to you. This relic is not in Tobesk, but in Yuewan.
I can't tell you exactly how to sell it. It depends on the negotiation between you and the other party. I will tell you the address. However, the sale of such important materials requires the signatures of at least three core members of the Priory. I can sign it for you.
, but you still have to find someone else.
Don’t you have a way to move in space? I will tell you two more addresses and you go find them. They are my friends and will not embarrass you."
Shade asked:
"Mr. Edmond from Coldwater Port and Granny Natalie from Green Lake, do they count?"
Old John raised his eyebrows:
"Do you still know them? Is a stubborn old guy like Edmond actually willing to be friends with you?"
But he didn’t express too much emotion:
"Of course. I'll write you a letter, you take it to them, and they can just sign it for you. Then you take this letter to Yuewan to find someone, but whether the deal can be concluded in the end depends on you.
Myself. But I’m not worried, after all, you are the best at persuading others.”
He found the letter paper and his seal and began to write. Shade asked again:
"By agreeing to help me so easily, does the Priory really not care about the chosen one? Now almost everyone wants the chosen one to belong to their side."
Old John didn't even raise his head:
"It doesn't matter who the chosen one is. It's important that the chosen one belongs to a party that is beneficial to civilization. You have to understand, detective, we can't choose the chosen one, so just wait patiently. When the matter in Yuewan is over,
If you are willing to tell me the story of the chosen one, that would be the best reward for me."
Taking Old John's letter, Shade went to Coldwater Port and Green Lake again. Mr. Edmond and Granny Natalie from Kingfisher Tailor Shop actually signed their names after reading the letter. Shade, on the other hand, signed the letter with his name.
The only thing I'm worried about is the situation in Yuewan. After all, even if the other party and Old John belong to the "Guiding Light Hermitage", Shade, the member of Yuewan, is not familiar with him at all.
Because the previous things went very smoothly, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon when Xia De returned to Yuewan.
The members of the Guiding Light Monastery seem to like to run the black market in their own place of residence, and the same goes for the old Mr. Chekov who Shade is visiting this time. He lives on Sybil Street in the lower city in the south of Moon Bay. This street
Right next to Herring Street where Shade was searching for the "Hope Diamond", the two streets were completely parallel.
Mr. Chekov runs a used bookstore. Of course, this kind of bookstore cannot make a lot of money in the lower city, but there will be no shortage of customers. When the coroner Mr. Albert introduced the local black market to Shade, he also mentioned this place, but
Because the scale here is very small, Shade has never been here.
