"Even if it is not to make tonight's operation more convenient, to investigate clearly the group that is trying to subvert the southern country's regime, it is also to consider whether the death of the other party will have an impact on the current situation. I am in Tobesk City, asking Carina to help
We have also obtained some information about Madam Shatala and Sir Wayne from MI6, but at present, there is nothing suspicious about the two except that their early experiences cannot be found.
Miss Bell, have you figured out the itinerary of these two people today? Is there any opportunity for me to meet them? For example, a Rhodes game or something."
The witch apprentice whose name was mentioned immediately dug out her notebook:
"The Rhodes poker game is not available for the time being, but there are other opportunities. We are very lucky. Mrs. Shatala and Sir Wayne will attend an afternoon tea party today. The tea party is organized by Mr. Ronan, the mayor of Vista City.
We have invited well-known local wealthy businessmen and want to discuss the expansion of the local train station next spring."
"It's such a coincidence that they are all here? It's not that group of people who are going to cause something, right?"
Shade asked again. Miss Bell lowered her head and turned back a page of her notebook:
"The young lady has received information from Her Majesty Margaret. The Gray Gloves have already investigated that the target of the Delinall Zionists who gathered in Vista City is the royal family. Therefore, the agents speculated on their actions today.
Relating to Prince William of Anjou."
"The invitation letter has been obtained, but this time it is not in my name, and I am not a businessman. It is because of Sylvia's relationship. Her business is very prosperous now."
Flora said, Shade nodded:
"That's okay. I'll go to the tea party in the afternoon. Who is willing to be my female companion?"
Flora thought that since she had been going out with Shade recently, Miss Denister would have a problem if she stayed in the hotel. After all, people who stayed behind would indeed feel bored, but she didn't expect that the red-haired girl didn't immediately
He didn't speak, but waited for a few seconds when she didn't speak before saying to Shade:
"Let Flora follow you. She is more familiar with this kind of social situation for ordinary people than I am."
The witch was moved by how solid the friendship between the two was, but Shade asked hesitantly:
"Miss Denister, are you secretly studying how to activate the door to 1821 while we are away?"
Then her rose-red eyes looked at him:
"Although I might do something without telling you in order to see the teacher again, I wouldn't do such a dangerous thing alone, right? Shade, do you really think I'm only eighteen years old?"
Judging from her tone, it was indeed a young girl talking angrily to her close friend.
The scale of this afternoon tea party held by the mayor, Mr. Ronan, was larger than Shade thought. The participants were not only the local wealthy businessmen mentioned by Miss Bell and socialites such as Madam Chatala, but also people from the local church.
All members have received invitations.
It seems that the Vista City Council attaches great importance to the expansion of the local train station.
Because they were not using their own identities, Shade and Flora both put on some makeup and disguises after lunch, and used witch eyeshadow before setting off.
The venue for this afternoon tea party was the City Hall, which is also located in the center of Vista City. However, when the two of them arrived in front of the City Hall in a carriage, they found that there were many people holding banners gathered there.
When Shade jumped off the carriage, he took a look and found that they were protesting today's afternoon tea party. This was not because he disliked the gathering of wealthy businessmen, but because people seemed to think that the purpose of expanding the local railway station was not to promote urban trade.
Prosperity, but to enhance the troop dispatching capabilities in the surrounding areas of Willendale so as to better prepare for the next war.
“We don’t want to become the kingdom’s military garrison!”
"We want peace, not war!"
"We don't want to be dragged into a world war by the war madmen of Willendale!"
"Ximu Town never needed a king!"
Some of them even shouted something quite remarkable.
The crowd gathered here was far smaller than the number of people marching by the two countries that Shade saw during the negotiations in Green Lake, but considering that there were not many local residents, it was enough to be able to gather.
However, although they were protesting, they were polite and did not harass the businessmen who were coming to attend the afternoon tea party. There was no need to go through the main entrance to enter. After Shade took Flora's hand and asked her to get off the carriage, he walked out of the carriage.
You can go in directly through the side door of the city hall.
"But how did these citizens know the purpose of this afternoon tea party? Didn't Miss Bell say that this tea party was not made public at all because it involved fundraising and transactions between the city hall and local businessmen?"
Shade was still a little puzzled, but Flora, who was used to seeing the methods of businessmen and politicians, was not surprised:
"Of course it was leaked intentionally. Winter is getting closer and closer, and some people can't hold it anymore. But don't think that leaking the news to make people gather to resist the war. I think it may be to stir up conflicts. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
The newspapers will know the situation."
There was already a waiter waiting at the side door to guide the way. Shade handed the invitation out, and Flora took Shade's arm in a natural movement. Although she was going to be disguised today, she still deliberately chose a very beautiful dress.
Black and purple skirt.
Most of her dresses are of this dark style, which is her own aesthetic characteristic.
The invitation letter that Miss Sylvia helped to obtain belonged to a fictitious "stockings marketer" that she used to use her fictitious business relationship. This fictitious company had already acquired her beautiful products in Germany through her fictitious relationship network.
Exclusive sales rights in the southern region of Larion, so you will definitely make a fortune in the future.
Of course, if the investigation continues, it will be discovered that this is a scam company, and Margaret and Sylvia actually have no idea about this business partner, so no matter what Shade and Flora do with this identity,
It won't affect them.
The afternoon tea party is not the same as an ordinary banquet, and the layout of the venue is naturally different from the banquet. However, because the purpose of Xia De and the two people was not to come to the party, after entering the venue on the second floor on the east side of the city hall, he just watched
After taking a glance at the Kasenlik flag hanging in the hall and the portrait of "Lion Lion" hanging on the wall facing the door, he lost interest in continuing to observe:
"If I hadn't known that this tea party was to discuss issues at the local train station, I probably would have thought it was a draft mobilization meeting."
The layout of the venue was indeed a bit too serious, which even surprised Flora:
"So the construction of the Vista City Railway Station is not really to prepare for war, right?"
This is not impossible. If the kingdom needs to mobilize in the middle of Kasenlik, then the best place to prepare and train the conscripted soldiers is the Vista Grove. It is a large area, sparsely populated, and easy to hide.
It's not even close to the king. It is said that Willendale was chosen as the capital of Carsonric, and it has a certain relationship with Vesta Woodland.
In short, no matter what role the local train station wants to play, it is not something that Shade needs to worry about. The process of the afternoon tea party is very simple. After all the guests arrived at around two o'clock, the mayor, Mr. Ronan, asked the servants to
Pushing a huge Vista woodland sand table, he placed it in the center of the hall.
Then this gentleman wearing a black silk top hat, a monocle, and a beautiful mustache opened the reception in front of the sand table. He did not make any long speech, but only encouraged everyone to work for Vesta.
Make a contribution to the city.
After the free communication session began, Shade was still standing in front of the sand table with a teacup and Flora. Although he had many local maps in his hand, this was the first time he had seen such a detailed sand table.
"To be honest, I prefer the black tea Tifa made for me."
Seeing Shade frowning, the gray-black haired lady thought he was thinking about something important, so she laughed:
"Don't compare Carina's head maid with others. That girl is considered outstanding among all the apprentices of this generation. I remember you seemed to have revealed that your relationship with her seems to be more than just making black tea."
She opened the decorative feather fan in her hand and covered her red lips that were raised with a smile.
Although Mrs. Shatala and Sir Wayne both appeared during the mayor's speech just now, they temporarily left to chat with acquaintances during the free communication period, so Shade still had to wait for a while before joining up.
And using the identity given by Miss Sylvia, many people who had heard about them naturally gathered around and wanted to talk to Shade about the export business in southern Delrayon. In this day and age, exporting any goods
They will all be controlled by the kingdom's policies, so everyone lacks channels.
Flora thought that Shade would be embarrassed by this, but she didn't expect that Shade could not only explain the product types and material characteristics of the great space witch, but he could even talk about the business environment in southern Delarion.
A few words - Shade often heard Carina and Lesia say this.
He behaves like a qualified businessman. Although he always tactfully avoids anything of practical significance when dealing with people, even Flora must admit that he is very good at acting.
And when the people dispersed a little, Shade, who brought another cup of black tea, smiled and asked the witch:
"I'm doing pretty well, right?"
The latter nodded, but then raised his eyebrows:
"Speaking of which, I never asked. Regarding Sylvia's inventions and creations, she always said that they were not her own ideas, but the product of collaboration with others. The other person mentioned here is not you again, right?"
"Yes."
"I realize I'm not surprised at all, but young sir, how did you come up with the idea of doing something like that with Sylvia?"
