"This is not difficult for Margaret. She is very rich. Calculated, even if interest is added, the amount of money owed that year and the cost of other materials are only less than 100,000 pounds."
Shade was surprised that he could say "less than one hundred thousand pounds".
"This is a lot of money for an ordinary stonemason, but it should be nothing for a princess."
"So, I asked her to solve this matter completely. She can't spend the money herself, but let the Angevin royal family take the initiative to pay, and make most people satisfied with the result."
The witch held her face:
"I originally planned to arrange the work of collecting the relics or investigating the earth, but after thinking about it, there was no need. After all, if she really became an apprentice, she would have plenty of time to grow. But the means of dealing with things will not become stronger as her strength increases.
I'm looking forward to it. How your princess lover will handle this matter is so greedy."
"Yes, I am indeed a little greedy."
Shade did not deny it.
"I didn't tell you."
The blonde witch teased and said:
"I'm talking about Margaret Anjou. She longs for the power of the witch, but she is also greedy for normal love. Isn't this greed?"
Luvia also said something similar.
"Of course, I owe you a promise. You can use this promise in exchange for her passing the test directly. There are rumors that things happened twenty years ago also involved MI6, and coupled with the prejudice and stubbornness that time has given people, this
Although the test does not involve a ring warlock, it is not easy to solve. If you use that promise in exchange for me to directly declare her qualified, my future apprentice will probably be very grateful to you and maybe you can get a good one.
night."
She suggested, and then saw Sha De shaking his head slightly with satisfaction:
"Margaret also has her own pride. If I help her, she will not hate me, but she will definitely complain about me. Besides, I am also looking forward to seeing what methods she will use to solve the problem of the Stonemasons Association.
If you handle it well, you might be able to earn fame and prestige for yourself."
He can ask questions about MI6 himself, and Director Anlos won't mind him looking through the files.
Miss Benenice did not make any comments, temporarily ignored the topic, and returned the Mithril Cube in her hand to Shade:
“What are you going to do next in the city? Continue to explore the story of Randall Valley?”
"Yes, I have witnessed two of the six stories, and there are not many left. Oh, yesterday I gave the [Power of the Earth·Field of Fertility] to Luvia, the purple-eyed female diviner.
"
"You don't need to tell me about this, it's your trophy."
"But one of the characteristics of the chosen ones of the earth is that they have the power of [the power of the earth]."
The witch was stunned for a moment before she realized what Shade had said:
"The Chosen One of the Earth?"
"Yes."
His face was very calm:
"This is a fragment of a psalm in the possession of the Church of the Sun. I have people in the Church of the Sun. So far, the Church of the Sun has not shared this news, but I think it will probably spread out soon."
"So."
"It's not me, it's definitely not me. Miss Benanis, you know I have many, many secrets. In fact, I have met every one of the chosen ones. Yes, Iluna Bayas, Ivan
Darkness, Joy Barton, Sister Devlyn, and even Sir Lykins Priscilla."
He stared closely at the surprised blond lady:
"I said at the campfire that I have many secrets. In some ways, I am pursuing the chosen one, but I can never be the chosen one. Yes, it is possible for anyone, but I am absolutely not.
possible."
"So."
"It is impossible for Luvia Anat. I have confirmed it in a special way, and she is definitely not it. Miss Benanis, instead of paying attention to me and Luvia, you should think about the one who disappeared seventy years ago."
Mr. Thomas Granger. That's why I say he is very important."
He stretched slightly:
"No one has said that the chosen one must be a human being. Mr. Thomas Granger is currently in an undead state. As long as he does not reach the real end, he may be the chosen one. After all, the known earth is
He only has three levels of power, and Luvia and I are definitely not the same, so isn’t it normal to doubt him?”
Miss Benenice nodded slightly, and then noticed that after the topic shifted to the "chosen one", Shade suddenly had a wonderful temperament, completely in control of the situation.
Looking at the handsome face facing the window, the weather today is not bad. In the sunlight entering the room, the witch's eyesight can even see a little bit of dust. And in that light, that face looks like
So charming, so friendly. Just like the moon at night, it is always there, but people don't often observe it. But if you look up occasionally, you will inevitably be intoxicated and crazy about it.
Vanessa Benenice woke up suddenly and immediately moved her eyes away from Shade's face. She was slightly panicked. What just happened was clearly a sign of a slight loss of control:
"The sequelae of being infected with the madness of the earth? Or is the effect of the potion you drank on Monday not over yet?"
Of course, she also admitted that the pink fragrance is very fascinating. When she reported "Saint Perry's Cemetery" to the Speaker in the Parliament yesterday daytime, the other witches in the Parliament said that she had become more beautiful.
"No, we can't think about that potion anymore! It's a derivative of the relic after all."
She warned herself in her heart, but when she thought about it, she inevitably thought about the moment when she lay in Shade's arms in the cold church, trembling and lost consciousness. She bit the inside of her lip with her teeth to wake herself up, then raised her head and looked out the window.
She didn't want Shade to see the red glow on her face. But she still secretly glanced at the young detective who was thinking, and then had to admit that that was indeed a face that was enough to attract the witch.
"If I were the first to meet him, would I make the same choice as Carina?"
Some kind of inappropriate thought naturally appeared in a small corner of my heart.
Although he had to attend a banquet on Wednesday night, Shade did not completely waste his time during the day. After the identity of Mr. Thomas Granger was confirmed, he became more and more curious about what was in the mithril cube.
Therefore, after asking the witch's maid to go to Margaret to get an invitation letter, Shade planned to explore those seemingly simple "urban legends of Randall Valley City".
"The weirdo in the clock tower of Randall Valley City" was Shade's first target, but he spent the whole morning checking the clock tower. In addition to a batch of banned addictive hallucinogenic drugs hidden in the wooden box at the top of the clock tower,
Nothing was found.
So he had no choice but to write an anonymous report letter to the Randall Valley Police Department with resentment, and threw a handful of bullets into the boxes of hallucinogenic drugs to help the hiders aggravate their crimes.
At noon, I invited Luvia to go with me to the White River Fish Restaurant, which is said to "cook delicious food that shines".
Of course, they couldn't find any glowing food, but at least the lunch was indeed quite delicious, and even Luvia praised it. Moreover, Shade was sure that the bell tower medicine found in the morning was not used in this restaurant.
The goal in the afternoon was "the magical aquatic creature that appears in the lower reaches of the Elrond River in the east of Randall Valley City." According to local rumors, it is a kind of woolly monkey that looks like a woolly monkey and can move underwater for a long time.
A swimming child is pulled into the water and drowned by the horrific creature.
In order to determine whether this was true, Shade visited villagers outside the city who were said to have seen this creature. Then he personally cut open the ice at the location where he saw it, and jumped into the winter river to look for this "aquatic monkey"
traces.
Doing this in winter is obviously not a wise choice.
Because of the "underwater breathing" spell, Shade did not float up after entering the water. He spent nearly two hours searching for unusual traces under the water along the bottom of the river. Dark vision and his own high perception,
In order to prevent the chaotic and cold water from causing too much obstruction to his vision, in just two hours, he picked up a pile of small 1-ohm coins, several rings, and rusted and inferior gemstone rings under the river.
Other small jewelry, but only the magical creature I was looking for was not found.
By the time Shade lost patience and wanted to go ashore and return to the city, it was already past four in the afternoon. At this time, not only did he have coins and rings in his pocket, but he even had two rusty gold necklaces and a silver necklace.
Bracelets, a bunch of metal brooches and several gemstone earrings.
While she was underwater trying to swim to the shore, she suddenly whispered in her ear:
【The stone on the left.】
"What?"
He picked up the two-fist-sized stone at the bottom of the river, and saw dots of golden flashes through the faint light in his hand:
"Gold ore?"
[Yes, don’t you always complain about lack of money? 】
"She" said with a smile.
"Are there any local gold mines?"
With doubts in mind, Shade swam to the shore holding the stone. There was no harvest this afternoon, and the water monkey was nowhere to be seen, but at least the pile of "garbage" he picked up was still valuable. The ring warlock wanted to make money.
It’s not difficult, the difficulty is just how to make money.
