"I remember imitating a cat's meow, three short and one long, repeated twice."
It's hard to tell whether it was more embarrassing to be discovered by others that he was an agent, or whether it was more embarrassing to be seen meowing like a cat. Shade thought to himself and returned to the auditorium along the path. After climbing in through the window at the end of the corridor, in the corridor
He wrote a note indicating the location and time of the bomb, then pursed his lips and tried his best to imitate a cat's meow.
Because he lives with a cat, he thinks he is quite similar to it.
Although it is unusual for a cat to meow in a building, it can be regarded as a wild cat breaking in. After the meow, Shade quickly threw the note on the ground and left from the other side of the corridor.
Soon, the guard who heard the cat meowing and came to check the situation alone saw Shade walking from the direction of the bathroom. The two of them found the note together. After picking it up and checking it, they saw the content of the note and the guard's eyes.
Staring suddenly.
"Sir, whether this is true or not, you need to inform your superiors as soon as possible."
Xia De remained calm in the face of danger and informed the other party of his identity:
"I am Hamilton from Rejed. Quick, tell your superiors about this. Who is in charge here now? I will take the responsibility and evacuate the crowd as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he straightened his tie to make himself look taller.
The two quickly returned to the door of Lecture Hall No. 3. Shade's identity was indeed very useful, and the note attracted attention. At this time, Princess Margaret had also sent her personal maid to check the situation at the door of the lecture hall.
After the guards at the door inquired about the situation, the maid immediately returned to the princess in panic, holding up her skirt.
"Sorry, I guess I have to interrupt rudely."
So, while the gentleman on the podium was calculating the conduction formula with chalk, Princess Margaret stood up in front of everyone's surprised eyes:
"Now, everyone get out of here. Yes, immediately."
Although they didn't know what happened, since the princess spoke, people evacuated quickly and orderly. Fortunately, including the visiting delegation, envoys, dignitaries from the Tobesk City Hall and the accompanying professors from the school, the lecture hall was full of people.
There weren't too many people, so everyone evacuated to the corridor in just two or three minutes.
Only then did people finally learn about the note with the bomb message. Princess Margaret asked for the note and trembled all over after seeing it.
She looked at Shade with sharp eyes, and opened her mouth with countless questions to ask. However, at this time, the muffled explosions and subsequent screams came from the lecture hall, making it impossible for the princess to talk to Shade.
, she was protected by the guards and quickly walked through the corridor and left here. No one could guarantee that there were no other bombs.
The time bomb that was planted was a small bomb made in a handicraft workshop. In the end, it only blew up four tables at the front and back. It was not very powerful. However, the explosion of the bomb still caused huge panic, so much so that the college visit that morning
The trip was canceled immediately.
Everyone present, including Shade who came back from the bathroom, were searched and interrogated. Even Shade and the guard were questioned separately because they were the first to discover the note. And this
By that time, the carriage Princess Margaret was riding in had already left here, and the gentlemen who had planned to play Rhodes with Shade had to give up their plans to play cards and dispersed with the shocking news.
"Did you find anything?"
At 12:10 p.m., Director Anlos took Shade out of Ridwich Field. The matter was handed over from the police to MI6, and Shade, who was suspected of being involved, was naturally released immediately.
It was of course possible for him to put the note himself and make a sound to attract the discovery of the bomb. However, after attracting the attention of Princess Margaret through the Gray Eagle's code, MI6 suspected Gray Gloves and did not think of it at all.
Related to the loyal "Hamilton of Rejed".
Shade nodded, and boarded the carriage home with Director Anlos at the gate of Ridwich Field. The carriage moved forward slowly, and Shade told the facts he had woven:
"Before I found the note, I also heard a cat meowing. But when I saw the note, there was no one else in the corridor except the young guard."
Dark Anlos, who was usually in a normal mood, now looked a little gloomy:
"That guard is a royal guard. Three generations of ancestors can find out his origin. He has no problem. The note contains the location of the bomb. The person who dropped the bomb belongs to the Principality of Lameia, and there is a killed gatekeeper opposite. That note
It was the key, but it was left by Margaret of Anjou. There is every reason to believe that the person who wrote the note was a 'Grey Glove' person."
Shade controlled not to let a smile appear on his lips. His colleagues really suspected that they were in the wrong direction, and they suspected other colleagues.
Director Anlos was unhappy at this time, partly because of the assassination of Margaret Anjou, but more importantly because the people in Gray Gloves discovered this earlier than the people in MI6:
"There was no one else in the corridor at the time. I think the guy must have ran away from the window. Did you see anyone suspicious after that?"
Shade thought for a while:
"When I walked out of the auditorium with other visitors, I did see an unfamiliar stranger mixed in the crowd."
He described the specific image of "the other side":
"He was a man, probably in his twenties, or at least he looked like he was in his twenties. His body shape was similar to mine, and his clothes were similar, but I didn't see his face clearly. At that time, I was still curious who it was.
, but he soon disappeared in the crowd."
"That agent probably took advantage of the chaos to escape."
Director Anlos took a deep breath:
"This matter cannot be suppressed. Tomorrow's front page headline will probably be the lecture hall where the explosion occurred."
He rubbed his brows, then Xia De asked curiously:
"In this assassination, the relevant personnel should be caught soon, right?"
"I'm not worried about this. The rebel organization in the Principality of Lamea will not escape this time. I'm worried about the Gray Gloves. It's obvious that the opponent's power in Tobesk exceeds original expectations. Although the opponent has indirectly done good things this time,
But we can’t help but be wary. If it weren’t for the lack of evidence, I would even suspect that the damn gray eagle has appeared again.”
The carriage stopped, and Director Anlos was about to get out of the car. Shade looked out the window and saw that he had already arrived at the intersection of Saint Teresa Square. Next, Director Anlos would probably go directly to Yodel Palace to ask Larrouse
When the third generation reported it, he should have received a scolding.
"Shad, in the next few days, I need you to follow Margaret Anjou as much as possible. I suspect this matter is not over yet. I will organize someone to take charge of her safety. You have to pay attention to what is going on.
Who has contact with her? I heard that you have a good relationship with her? If possible, it would be best to get that note back."
Director Anlos ordered Shade from the window to Shade who got off the carriage:
"When Margaret Anjou and her party leave, I will arrange for your promotion."
Xia De had no reaction to the promise of "promotion", but instead asked:
"Will Your Highness continue the visit this afternoon?"
"No, all itineraries will be reviewed again. If something like this happens again, it will be an international scandal."
But in fact, with the power of today's bomb, it would not be able to harm Princess Margaret, who is five rows away from the seventh row, not to mention that as a four-ring warlock, such a powerful bomb would not even be able to harm her.
The damage caused by the explosion at his feet was definitely not fatal. It's just that people didn't know the power of Her Royal Highness, let alone the specific parameters of the bomb. They only cared that the "princess" was connected with the "bomb attack".
"Tonight, everyone will be invited to the dinner as usual. Margaret Anjou needs to appease the people who were unfortunately involved in the incident because of her."
Director Anlos said:
"Shadow, will you go?"
"Of course I will go. I think the princess also wants to have a chat with me."
Shade nodded, and Director Anlos smiled:
"I originally promised Miss Carina that you would join the Sixth Bureau so that you and I would personally apologize to the Duke, but you are really outstanding, young man, really outstanding."
The steam bomb attack that occurred in the auditorium of the Third National Mechanical Institute spread throughout the city in just a few hours in this era of underdeveloped communication methods. Naturally, Dorothy was the first to report it.
Shade, who returned home, learned the news, and then exchanged souls to let Lesia, who had been dealing with things in Yodel Palace this morning, know the specific situation.
Among the friends around him, only Doctor Schneider clearly knows that Shade has inherited the title of "Grey Headed Eagle", and even Lecia only knows that Shade is working for MI6.
In fact, with the relationship between Shade and Lesia, it would be okay to tell her about the "Grey Eagle", but Shade made up his mind to protect Princess Margaret during her visit and repay Detective Sparrow's kindness.
, give up this identity. And once Lesia is informed of the identity of the "Grey Eagle", Lesia will definitely use this identity to do something.
Rather than telling Lesia the truth and letting Lesia make a choice between him and her own ambitions, it would be better not to say anything, just like his promise to Detective Sparrow, and let this middle-aged man sleeping in a foreign country
People find peace.
So, Shade decided to be the bad guy himself.
But even though he wanted to repay Detective Sparrow's kindness, Shade did not lie to Lesia. He told the incident from the perspective of a bystander, telling all the things he learned through touching the soul, feeling and recalling
Lesia.
Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess could tell that the "I saw someone" that Sha De said actually referred to himself.
The blonde girl held her face and tilted her head to look at Shade:
"It seems you have some little secrets you don't want me to know."
"I want to protect another person's reputation."
Shade said, hesitated, and then added:
"After Princess Margaret leaves, I will tell you what I concealed this time. I just hope you won't be too surprised. You will definitely be surprised."
"As long as your secret is not that you are actually a woman, nothing will surprise me."
Lecia said with a smile, reaching down with her hand, looking at Shade, and said softly:
"Hiding a secret from your own princess is a knight's misdeeds, and I will punish you."
