Mr. Green put down the pen in his hand and looked up and down at Shade outside the counter, unable to believe this fact:
"It's really amazing. That lady usually treats men without pretense. It seems that you really have something special... Yes, there is a way to contact us. She is a regular customer of ours. If you want to find her
If you have something to do, you can leave her a letter. This lady will send a letter every day to tell you the progress of her search for the key. When the time comes, you can ask the messenger to send your letter back."
He and his sister, Ms. Helena Green, both respected Meghan. The information exposed at this time showed that their relationship with Meghan was closer than Shade thought.
[Haven’t you already begun to guess that they are the two remaining ordinary people of the sixth generation, the grandchildren of Maria Edwards, the youngest daughter of the third generation? 】
"She" whispered softly, and Shade nodded:
"Okay, I'll write now."
Shade borrowed paper and pen, and mentioned in the letter about water ghosts, tomb robbers and bad-eyed Barry. Since Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals has a lot of influence in the local area, it is natural to borrow the power of the witch's followers to find out.
clue.
As for the owner of the pen, the unknown mysterious figure Durut Giles, Shade still needs to find out through another channel.
In fact, the process of knowing the identity of Durut Gilles was far simpler than Shade thought. That was the next day, Saturday morning. Shade originally did not plan to come to the Green Lake area again today, after all, in the afternoon
There is also a very important "spoils sharing meeting".
But Lesia sent a letter early in the morning, hoping that Shade would go to Michaela Blast Furnace City to confirm some of the contents of today's negotiations, so Shade entered the basement after breakfast.
After coming out of the back door of the hotel, I gave a few pieces of bread to the boy in the trash can as usual. Then I left the garbage alley, thinking about asking the hotel owner if Meghan's messenger had arrived before setting off.
But the witch’s messenger hadn’t arrived yet, and instead another letter was delivered:
"Mr. Watson, you just happened to be here. This is a letter sent from Michaela Blast Furnace City. I was just thinking about whether to keep it on the counter or send it directly to your room."
Ms. Helena Green smiled and said to Shade who came down from upstairs - after talking to Mr. Soren Green last night, Shade pretended to go back to the room to rest.
"Michaela Blast Furnace City?"
Shade only had one acquaintance there for the time being. He opened the letter and found that it was indeed from Professor Boulanger. This professor of geology and folklore agreed to help Shade in Willen in the fishing village tavern on Thursday.
Dell City searched for the owner of the pen, but Shade didn't expect the results to come out so soon.
In two days, the letter may not be able to be delivered from the City of Glass to the Royal Capital.
He sat down at the table and opened the letter. The professor was polite at first, and then talked about Durut Giles:
[I asked my local colleagues about the name and learned that Durout Gilles had been here two years ago. He was a lecturer in history at the College of Saint Fabry in Willendale. I
I have already written to Willendale to investigate whether he is still teaching at Saint-Fabry College. The result will probably be available next week.]
"History lecturer?"
History and folklore in this world are both quite "dangerous" subjects.
Professor Boulanger also thanked Shade for introducing Captain Rades to him at the back of the letter. After having professional bodyguards, their activities in Delrayon on the north shore of Green Lake were indeed much smoother than before.
.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
The professor has been conducting research and inspections in Green Lake City recently. If he is lucky, Shade might be able to bump into the professor and his group.
The relevant clues about Durut Giles have come to an abrupt end here. What will happen next depends on Professor Boulanger's investigation. Of course, Shade did not put all his hopes on the professor. He also planned to
Tomorrow, when I visit the Duchess, who has been very busy recently, I will ask her to entrust Miss Sylvia in the Parliament and also conduct an investigation together in Willendale City. Although Margaret's power may not be as powerful as Professor Boulanger's,
It goes deep into the academic circle, but at least it is very convenient to find people on a large scale.
Because he had to go back for a meeting in the afternoon, Shade did not waste too much time in Green Lake City. After getting on the carriage, he went straight to the border inspection station. There was an incident during the crossing. At that time, Shade had just said goodbye to the coachman.
, showed the soldiers in the border camp the special pass given to him by Captain Rades.
The soldiers immediately led Shade to the exit where there was no need to queue up to register. Then they heard someone complaining loudly:
"Why can he not line up?"
Shade turned to look at the queue. The person speaking was a young man who looked about the same age as the stranger's body. He looked at Shade with wide eyes:
"We are all citizens of Delarian, this is not fair!"
"this......"
Just as Sha De was about to speak, the soldier who showed him the way spoke:
"Sir, please ignore him. Just now he saw many noble carriages passing through the border, and he didn't dare to say anything. He only dared to speak when he saw that you were not dressed like a rich and powerful noble and that you had no companions around you."
After the bearded soldier finished speaking, other patrols who heard the voice came over to deal with the matter. Two of them directly dragged the young man who spoke out of the team, and then dragged him to the other side of the camp.
During this period, no one else in the queue said anything. Shade just watched this scene and then left with the soldiers.
From the border checkpoint to Michaela Blast Furnace City, it was still a carriage ride with seven or eight people per trip. By the time Shade arrived in the City of Glass city, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
When he entered the city, he encountered a parade passing by. Probably because Shade looked like a Delarian, so when he stood there and watched the parade pass by, there were actually people who kept a distance from him.
waving his fist.
Of course, Shade won't be angry because of this. He sees this as a symbol of the slowly approaching carriage of history. As for the outcome of this matter, he actually doesn't care at all. No matter where the outsider is, he doesn't care.
No country has a strong sense of belonging. He just hopes that even if there is a fight, it will not cause too much damage.
The negotiation venue of the City of Glass is also in the city hall, but unlike Green Lake City, the city hall of Michaela Blast Furnace City, which has a more prosperous economy, has a more grand appearance. In fact, it can even be said that it is a little too grand.
In the square in front of the city hall, stands the pure glass statue of King Louis III - the first king who unified the southern realm and established the United Kingdom. And behind the statue protected by a display case,
At the top of the thirteen steps is the portico of the city hall, which is supported by marble columns. The area there is even enough to park two carriages side by side.
The main body of the city hall is divided into five floors. On the uppermost floor in the center of the building, there is a spire-like attic with a tower structure to store the copper bells. The overall building is grand and luxurious. It looks more like an opera house or a bank than the city hall.
This appearance also well illustrates how developed the industry and commerce of the City of Glass is.
After all, only enough taxes and fees can support government department buildings of this size.
The building of the City Hall covers a large area, but it also assumes more functions. During the meeting, only a small area of the City of Glass City Hall was closed, and other parts were open for business normally.
Shade didn't have time to wait until the meeting ended at noon to look for clues, so after looking at the building in the square, he turned and walked to the alley next to it.
He didn't have the architectural drawings of the city hall, but fortunately MI6 did. When Shade inquired about local information, he got all this information from Miss Carina.
It is not difficult to enter without being discovered. Various methods can be used, including sewers. Shade's final choice was to go from the back door of the backyard of the city hall, lie under the carriage, and follow the carriage
Entering the courtyard, I then lowered my hat brim and entered the interior of the building. I went directly from the first floor to the fourth floor through the stairs on the side that were not often used.
When he approached the fourth floor, he felt the elemental reaction of the ring warlock, which meant that the church sent people here to protect the safety of the participants. But this was not difficult for Shade. He closed his eyes and felt the heartbeat, knowing the unknown.
The Ring Warlock sat on a chair against the wall in the corridor beside the stairs, so he changed into clothes for formal occasions and waited patiently for more than ten minutes. When someone else came upstairs, Shade pretended to be familiar with it.
He looked like this and waved enthusiastically:
"Good afternoon, why are you here?"
While the other party showed a puzzled expression, Shade patted the other party on the shoulder:
"Puppetry."
The thaumaturgy took effect immediately, and the stranger's actions were completely controlled by Shade. Shade softly said sorry to him, and then entered the corridor on the fourth floor where many meetings were held while talking to him.
The two of them walked along the corridor to the bathroom at the end. Shade asked the person he manipulated to sleep for a while, then looked in the mirror in the bathroom, fixed his clothes, and then walked out normally:
"It's easy...Lecia asked me to see the results of today's negotiations on arms export trade in conference room 404."
He was wearing shiny leather shoes, a crisp suit and a black tie. He was holding a notebook with a black leather cover in his hand and a gold pen stuck on his chest, so even if there were other people in the corridor, no one would doubt his identity.
.
He looked at the house number and came to the door of the conference room. The door of the conference room was closed. Because the sound insulation effect was very good, even Shade couldn't hear what was specifically said inside. But after closing his eyes, he
I was pretty sure there was no janitor inside the door. According to the arrangement of the heartbeats, there were about ten people sitting on both sides of the long table. One person stood up and was probably talking. In addition, there were more than twenty people sitting by the wall.
