From the first time he arrived in Huntington on Thursday to the evening of Sunday when he saw the mysterious lake on the edge of the Everglades under the leadership of the resurrected wolf, Shade only spent three days to get close to the legend.
the truth.
But he can't spend all his time and energy in Huntington City. There are still many things waiting for him to deal with in Tobesk on Monday.
When Shade woke up on time at 6:30 on Monday morning, he felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest.
"Ghost on the bed?"
This is also said in this era.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was not a ghost but a cat. Little Mia, who was waiting for breakfast, was standing on the quilt on Shade's chest, looking at him with bright eyes.
"Guess what this cat is thinking?"
Shade asked in his mind, while smiling, he grabbed the cat and sat up from the bed. With a slight movement of his fingers, the curtains opened automatically with a swish.
The voice in my ear chuckled:
[Probably dissatisfied that your life is too lazy.]
"Are you lazy? In order to prevent the [lazy] spiritual rune from affecting my spirit and personality, I didn't even associate any thaumaturgy with this spiritual rune. Moreover, this cat is lazier than any human being I know.
All must be strong."
The cat being held by the back of the neck looked at Shade pitifully, its big eyes showing a very human feeling of grievance, its white beard trembling slightly, its little nose twitching with its breathing, and it just showed that it wanted to eat on its face.
.
A new week also means that Shade can take out new gifts from the "God's Gift Box". When he went downstairs to get newspapers and milk, he moved the metal box from the basement to upstairs.
While reading the news in the newspaper welcoming Princess Margaret of Anjou's visit today at the dining table, I was still thinking about what kind of weird items I would take out this week. But no matter how weird the weekly gifts are, Xia
Deya is still willing to try. This kind of "luck draw" activity with completely unpredictable results and the possibility of valuable items. However, one of the few hobbies for outsiders in this world is actually something he has developed in this world if he thinks about it carefully.
I have many hobbies, including but not limited to Rhodes and Little Mia.
This time, before finishing breakfast, Shade, unable to restrain his curiosity, reached out and pushed open the lid of the gift box.
When I put my hand into the box, I didn't touch the item immediately, which means it's not a big item this time. I continued to explore downwards until I touched something with a cold metal feel at the bottom of the box:
"Ordinary items."
Although he made this judgment, Shade's interest remained undiminished. He took the thing out of the gift box and discovered that it was a small silver box with diamonds on the surface. The box had a shield-like appearance. From the weight,
Judging from the color and feel, it is most likely a sterling silver jewelry box.
After opening the box, there was indeed a beautiful emerald lying inside the red velvet lining. The gem was in the shape of a goose egg. Although it was only half the size of a fingernail, it was not very valuable, but the surface was extremely polished.
It has a layered feel. The sunlight coming in from the window makes the gems shine. This is an absolutely precious piece of jewelry.
"The emerald in the silver jewelry box is actually an item. The box and the gem are considered one piece."
Shade thought curiously, twisting out the gem and observing it carefully. Mia, who had lowered her head to lick the goat's milk, stretched out her little head and came over, widened her eyes, twitched her pink nose and sniffed twice, and then immediately
Lost interest.
"The quality of the gemstones is very good. Even if it is a ceremony that has strict requirements on ritual materials, jewelry of this level will not be rejected."
He put the small emerald back into the silver shield-shaped box. After thinking about it, he turned the box to the back, stretched out his fingers, and the light of the silver moon appeared from his fingertips:
"Gift of Hamilton of Rejed."
While he was spelling, he carved this line of text with the silver moon on his fingertips. This was a skill he learned before he truly mastered the [Moonlight Great Sword]:
"I happen to be attending the princess's wedding on Tuesday, so it shouldn't be a shame to take this as a gift."
He admired the letters he had carved, but took a deep breath dissatisfied and used [Breath of Time] to erase the line of text:
“The words are a bit too ugly”
In the end, I just engraved my initials to identify myself, which makes it look more beautiful.
As for the task corresponding to this piece of jewelry, it is to buy groceries alone twice this week, which is indeed very important for children.
After confirming this week's gifts, Shade read the newspaper while eating breakfast. After finishing breakfast, he went to read today's three letters.
One letter was sent by Priest August. The Church of Dawn will distribute church gifts to core believers in early winter, so Shade remembers to get them. This year, the one given out is a small piece of soap engraved with the Holy Emblem, and one does not have a watch.
church oil painting and some seasonal vegetables.
Although these gifts are not valuable in the eyes of the nobles, this tradition of giving gifts to core believers according to seasons is quite important.
The second letter was sent by Dorothy. On Tuesday afternoon, that is, tomorrow afternoon, the wedding of Mona Cavendish and Randolph Ellsberg will be held at the Peace Church in this city. Shade, as requested by Lesia,
Dorothy was invited as a female companion, and Dorothy wrote a letter to inform Shade of the time to meet her tomorrow.
As for the third letter, it had the lowest value stamp on it, and the mailing address was a street in the north of the city. There was no more specific house number. Shade just saw the color of the ink on it and knew that it was a letter from Gray Gloves.
.
"Is it finally here?"
The expired manifesting potion I got from Priest August had not been used up yet. After pouring the potion on the letter paper that said "Same as before", the densely packed numbers immediately appeared.
From the study, I found "The Queen and Her Lovers", "The Silver Knight" and "Collections of the Western Front" and cracked the code to get a complete letter.
The content is not much, and it is indeed about Princess Margaret of Anjou. The letter requires the "Grey Eagle" to secretly protect the safety of the princess during her visit, but under no circumstances should his identity be revealed.
.
Since the news of the "Difference Engine" data was delivered to the players in the big city, the "Grey-headed Eagle" should have fallen into silence and "sinked to the bottom" again waiting to be awakened. In less than three months, it received another order. Presumably it was an internal struggle within Gray Gloves.
And the result after consideration by the royal family.
Although the order told "Grey Eagle" not to reveal his identity, he was given a special set of passwords that could reveal his identity to Princess Margaret alone at a critical moment.
This task does not have too specific requirements. Instead, it has been emphasized many times to prevent the gray-headed eagle from showing up easily. It seems that no matter what, the big shots in Kasenlik have acquiesced that the value of the "grey-headed eagle" is extremely high.
Grey-headed eagles should never be sacrificed except as a last resort.
"The political struggle in Kasenlik is not simple either."
Although Shad has lived in Delarion for a long time and can only be considered a "Grey Eagle II", he can still hear thunder from this letter.
In fact, even without this letter, he would have protected Princess Margaret. On the one hand, MI6 must not let anything happen to the princess in Delarian, and on the other hand, this can be regarded as repaying the death of Detective Sparrow.
Although he wanted to try his luck in Huntington today, due to the mission of MI6 and Gray Gloves, Shade had to join in the fun to welcome the arrival of Princess Margaret and her party. For this reason, he had already made an agreement with Miss Carina,
Go with her so you can save time queuing for admission.
Although it departs from Huntington by steam airship, the airship will not land directly in the city. Instead, it will land in the east of Tobesk City, eight miles (approximately 12.9km) away from the city in the town of Walshi.
, then the delegation took a special train to Tobesk Railway Station.
The train journey actually takes less than half an hour, so the exact arrival time depends on when the airship can land safely. Fortunately, there has not been too much rain or snow in Tobesk and the surrounding areas in recent days.
, so there is no need to worry about the arrival of the airship being delayed due to weather conditions.
Tobesk Railway Station is located in the north of the city, and Miss Carina's manor is located in the southern suburbs of the city. Therefore, around eight o'clock, the Great Witch took her maids to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, intending to wait for the train here.
The specific time of arrival of the message.
The reason why we did not go to the Yodel Palace to wait is because the place is very busy now for the upcoming meeting between Larus III and the Princess of the South, as well as the special lunch and dinner prepared for the visiting group.
According to diplomatic specifications and general rules, members of the Anjou royal family need to be personally greeted by members of the Cavendish royal family. If it is a visit of this kind by a duke, queen or even king with real power and fiefdom, Larousse
The third generation needed to be welcomed in person, but this time it was only the princess who came, so as usual, Queen Diana led the eldest prince who was not her biological child and several princesses to the train station to welcome him.
The group of people preparing to set off from the Yodel Palace at this time should also be waiting for news. Only after the people from the Yodel Palace set off first will Miss Carina's motorcade join them:
"Although I am also a member of the Cavendish family, my nephew has actually considered it many times whether I should appear on this occasion. After all, a powerful duke like me wants to welcome the princess of the Anjou family.
It seems a little high."
The red-haired witch sitting on the sofa said that she was in good spirits early in the morning:
"Later, it was decided that I should participate. MI6 got some information. This time the princess came not just for a visit. She brought a letter from the current king of the United Kingdom of Carsonlik, 'Lion Laien'
.The other party seems to be interested in negotiating on the balance of the number of troops. Therefore, in order to show goodwill, my nephew wrote a letter asking me to go to the Tobesk train station today."
"If he hadn't written, would you have gone?"
Shade asked curiously. Tifa was instructing the maids to prepare hot tea. They didn't know how long they would have to wait.
"Of course I will go. As a member of the Council, if I don't go to welcome Sylvia when she arrives in Tobesk, what will the other witches in the Council think of me?"
