He went out early in the morning to find Iluna, but Shade was still a step late. When she arrived at Iluna's rented apartment, she had already gone out. Then Shade failed to find Iluna at the Blackstone Security Company because she was so early in the morning.
Went on a mission.
He thought that Blackstone Security Company would not tell him the location of Iluna's mission, but Mr. Robinson, the captain of the Ring Warlock Team, actually took the initiative to tell him the location after thinking about it:
"Beas should be keeping tabs on the Three Cats Hotel in the Anthem Square in the north of the city now. If you go to find her, it's best to keep a low profile and not delay her mission."
From this look, Iluna's tracking mission shouldn't be particularly important.
Although the Randall Valley is facing another blizzard, the temperature in the northern city of Tobesk has indeed been rising recently. Although it is not yet time to take off the cotton-padded clothes, the spring in Tobesk this year will probably be better than that in Randall.
It’s early to reach the river valley.
When she pushed the door and entered the Three Cats Hotel, the female owner, Mrs. Sangmei, was rarely behind the counter, but this also saved Shade the time to say hello.
At 8:30 in the morning, there were actually minstrels playing and singing. Because today was a working day, there were very few guests having breakfast in the store at this time. Shade glanced at it and saw a man wearing a high collar next to the wall on the first floor.
Iluna is wearing a windbreaker and a hat, holding a newspaper and reading it.
So he also walked over, and when he sat down, Iluna put down the newspaper and took a look:
"Shad? Oh, and Mia!"
"A pancake and a cup of tea."
Shade said casually to the waiter who came over. After the waiter turned and left, he talked about what he had discussed with Luvia last night.
"No problem, I will use my dream as an excuse to inform the church about the [Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess] that can cleanse the Crazy Earth."
Iluna gave an affirmative answer:
"But in this case, the church will probably send me to Randall Valley City soon. Judging from previous experiences, it will probably be the end of this month or the beginning of next month."
This is the 14th day of the Moon of Thin Stars.
"Luvia delayed the communication between the association and the Forgotten Order. She was probably there when you arrived at Randall Valley."
"So, this time the three of us will face the Chosen One together?"
The seventeen-year-old girl looked a little excited.
At this time, Shade's pancakes and tea were also delivered. He had actually had breakfast, but it would feel strange to sit down without ordering anything. The cat being held by Shade poked his head and sniffed the air.
The plate on the table was very interested, and Xia De asked:
"Speaking of which, what mission are you performing? Do you need my help?"
Iluna shook her head slightly:
"It's not a very important thing, and it doesn't even have to do with ring magicians. I'm following a counterfeit medicine seller from the south. It's said that the pills he sells can cure any disease and even curses."
She added, but in a rather unenthusiastic tone:
"The church gave the investigation work to our team, and then I am here. I hope this mission will end as soon as possible. Let me send the guy who is selling fake medicine to Ridwich Field. Miss Carina gave it to me.
The study task has not been completed yet. She also said that if my recent study results are very good, she will give me beautiful clothes. I don’t know what they are, it’s mysterious.”
It seems that she doesn't think this incident has anything to do with the Ring Warlock.
"Cure any disease? How did the church find out about this businessman?"
"When the believer communicated with the church priest, she said that she originally had a serious heart disease, but since she took the pills sold by the vendor, her waist no longer hurts, her legs no longer hurt, she can walk with more strength, and she can walk up to the fifth floor without difficulty.
Son."
She said boredly, crumbled the pancakes that Shad ordered with her fork, and put them in her hands to seduce Mia. The latter struggled to jump out of Shad's arms, hesitating whether to eat the food given by others.
This is a sign that it is very familiar with Iluna. If it were not an acquaintance, the cat would not even consider it.
"Sounds like some kind of advertising term."
Shade commented.
"Yes, yes, according to the procedure, the church first sent an ordinary investigation team to conduct a preliminary peripheral investigation on this."
In order to prevent possible actions of relics or ring wizards, this investigation is very superficial.
"Then it was discovered that someone else had also tried that pill, and it cured insomnia, poor appetite, and the curse of having a headache at nine o'clock every working day - the last one was claimed by the investigators, and the church was not sure whether
There’s this curse.”
In the end, Mia was still reserved and did not eat the food from Iluna's hand. Instead, she turned around and picked at Shade's hand that was on the table. After Shade took the food from Iluna's hand, the cat happily ate it.
Sometimes Shade is really curious about how big this cat's stomach is. It never seems to be "full".
"Your cat is really heartless. He eats it happily even if he changes hands. In short, this task finally fell into my hands."
Iluna summarized the mission, put down the newspaper completely, and let the photo of Larus III face out. She held her face and watched Shade feeding the cat:
"Speaking of which, the princess's birthday party last weekend was great, wasn't it? I heard that you solved a murder case at the party. I wonder when Miss Louisa will be able to write the story."
"It will probably be published in the third issue of "Steam Bird Daily" next month."
Shade also said, seeing Iluna looking unmotivated, he asked her why, and they didn't need to care about these things.
Iluna said slightly sadly:
"Your Highness Agelina is also seventeen years old. In this way, I am not the only seventeen-year-old girl around you."
She seems to be very concerned about her uniqueness, even when other chosen ones appear several times.
"But you and Agelina are different."
"You don't mean to say that the princess and I are both unique. Do you want to comfort me with such words?"
Iluna looked up at him, with curiosity and questions in her eyes. Shade immediately shook his head:
"Iluna, it's just you. Every time I see you, I feel that all the light in the world is shining on you. To use an inappropriate metaphor, in my eyes, you are the beauty of this world.
main character."
The seventeen-year-old girl's face turned red:
"As you get to know more witches, your ability to praise people will also become stronger."
"No, no, this is the truth."
This is really the truth. Ever since Shade first met Iluna at the door of the pet shop where Mia was fostered by Detective Sparrow, this feeling has always existed. Even now, looking at the girl in front of him, the surroundings
Everything becomes like a background board.
"I understand, you don't need to repeat it. Really, Shade, you actually said such things in public."
She said softly, with a smile on her face, tilting her head and looking at the sun-drenched entrance of the Three Cats Hotel, feeling that she would be in a good mood throughout the day.
Although Shade planned to go to Randall Valley to visit the City Statue Art Exhibition Hall today, since he had already met Iluna, he didn't mind saying a few more words to Iluna.
He talked about the recent encounters in the Randall Valley, the latest adventures of the Time Key, and even talked about demons.
Iluna knew from the first time that Shad came into contact with "Human Pus" that Shad accepted the power of the demon hunters of the Third Age, so she was not surprised that he encountered demons again, but she was still very worried:
"Take this."
She gave Shade another sunshine gun brooch, and Shade already had one in his hand:
"As I become stronger and stronger, this alchemy item will also become stronger and stronger. If you need it, just ask me for it at any time."
She said this, and Shade also thought about giving something to Iluna. He still had three leaves of youth in his hand, but Iluna had one in her hand at this time. So after thinking about it, he took out the key to his house and handed it to her.
Gave her:
"You can go to the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square at any time and use the [Keeper's Hall]. It is a good place to study. You don't have to visit me when I am at home. Moreover, the other 'doors' in my home,
It will also be very helpful to you.”
Iluna did not expect that she would receive such a "precious" gift this ordinary morning. She hesitated and didn't know whether she should accept it, but in the end she refused:
"Now is not the time for me to get this key. I am a very ritualistic person."
Young girls also have their own persistence and pride, so Shade did not force it. The two chatted for a while, and at 8:30, Iluna looked at the stairs on the first floor of the hotel:
"According to the counterfeit medicine dealer's itinerary, he should appear soon."
Just as Iluna said, at eight thirty-two minutes and seventeen seconds, a tall and lanky guy wearing a black windbreaker and a hat, with half of his face covered in bandages, really walked down the stairs.
, also carrying a black suitcase in his hand.
This outfit was a little strange walking on the street, but it was not impossible to explain it as a facial injury. But as soon as he saw the other person, Shade frowned slightly:
"It's not an ordinary incident. Whispering elements, huh? Humanoid relics? What's going on? I've been to this hotel so many times, and this is the first time I've encountered such a problem."
He didn't expect to encounter such a thing so early in the morning.
"Humanoid relics? Are you sure? Well, this is a silly question, and your judgment is not wrong. I thought this morning was boring, but now I have something to do."
Iluna stood up with a serious expression, and Shade followed closely. Although there were few guests in the lobby on the first floor of the Three Cats Hotel, their movements were not particularly abrupt, so the guests did not look at them.
come over.
However, the counterfeit medicine dealer who had just descended to the first floor suddenly turned his head and glanced at them, then ran towards the hotel door.
