The girls and ladies of the Cavendish family did not spend the night at Shade's house tonight. Although Monday's "birthday party" was interesting, it also really scared them. So Shade said goodbye to them at the gate of Yodel Palace.
When I took little Mia back to St. Teresa Square, I first checked the neighbor's house to make sure that the house number and traces on the wall were all right before returning to my home:
"You should remind Dorothy, the priest and the doctor. There is no need for Dorothy, she already knows; there is no need for the priest, the relic should not dare to be a neighbor of Dawn Church. As for the doctor."
Considering the doctor's bad luck, it is still necessary to remind him about this sage-level relic.
【So, what would you do if a friendly neighbor appeared next door to our house?】
When Shade was holding little Mia and walking on the wooden stairs through the dark but particularly reassuring stairwell, "she" asked softly.
"I'll make it look good."
Shade replied in a good mood. The reason why he was in a good mood was probably because of the way of referring to "our family".
The silver moon still shines on No. 6, Saint Teresa Square.
(Fiona is on the line. Beep~beep~beep. No answer)
When I woke up, it was already Thursday morning.
Shade originally planned to start the adventure of a new time key after breakfast. He didn't use the normal time key for a month, and he even missed those adventures in the fifth era.
But when I put on my slippers and went to get goat milk from the milk box outside the door at the urging of little Mia, I saw Director Anlos walking towards me from the heavy fog this morning.
To be honest, I just told Miss Carina last night that my boss probably didn't even eat breakfast this morning and came to his house in the heavy fog. Shade still felt very sorry.
He stood at the door to greet Director Anlos and invited him to go upstairs to have breakfast with him. However, Director Anlos obviously had other things to do. After declining Shade's invitation, he just went to the second floor to talk to Shade.
After seeing Shade put the newspaper and goat milk on the dining table, the cat actually sat down on the sofa, waiting for breakfast. So Shade put it on his lap, and the cat
Then he became stable again.
"I have already heard from Miss Carina. Are you going on a business trip to the Yuewan area recently?"
Director Anlos used a more cautious way of describing it. When Shade nodded, he let out a sigh of relief:
"The situation in the Yuewan area is quite complicated now. Since the interruption of the Green Lake negotiations and the confrontation between the two armies at the Green Lake border, Yuewan City seems calm, but in fact there has been an undercurrent surging under the water. If you are in the Yuewan area
In action, we must not only pay attention to the 'Glorious Seven Families of Moon Bay'. Hawthorne, Eddington and Belinda, who still control the city council, have withdrawn from the core of power. The other four families still have a large presence in the Moon Bay area.
Impact."
He carried a document bag with him, and after opening it, he gave Shade some basic information:
"The Wood family now controls the local logging industry in the Moon Bay area. There are many trees in the mountainous forest area of the Moon Bay area, and the organized loggers have formed the Loggers Association. Their influence is far less than that of the Randall Valley.
The Masons' Guild is so big, so the Wood family is also the least powerful among the former "Seven Glory Families".
The Blue family, a local wealthy businessman, controls many fleets that travel to the New World. However, because it has been suppressed by the traditional shipping family, the Aurora family, its development has not been very fast in recent years. They are in Yuewan City.
The dock area has its own group of thugs, who are rumored to have some relationship with Gray Gloves.
The Black family is notorious, and most of the notorious local gangs are related to them. They were originally considered old-fashioned nobles, but in recent decades they have lost all the honors of the nobles. It is worth mentioning that they and still
The powerful Hawthorne family has several generations of in-law relationships. Although the Black family does not admit that they are vassals of the Hawthorne family, in fact it is not much different.
The Light family transformed into machinery manufacturing and now has become a large factory owner. Their reputation in Yuewan City is mixed. Some people believe that they have provided numerous employment opportunities for the poor in Yuewan City.
Because of their exploitation of workers, people think they are eating human bones and blood."
Director Anlos summarized:
"Although these four families are no longer able to directly influence the city council compared to Hawthorne, Eddington and Belinda, the seven families are still more or less connected, and the relationship between them is extremely complicated due to many years of marriage.
Therefore, we cannot underestimate them."
"Actually, it's hard for me to have a direct understanding of what you've said. Can you tell me directly which party our MI6 is involved with?"
MI6 must have deployed a large number of lurkers and agents in such an important and complex area as Yuewan City, so it is impossible not to have connections with the local forces in Yuewan City.
Director Anlos smiled:
"Your question is really direct. It's about the Wood family. They are the easiest to get on the line with. To be more precise, the contact between the Wood family and Delarion dates back to the Civil War in the Old World. The Moon Bay area has not yet been completely assigned to Card.
The Senrik era has already begun. I won't say that the Wood family will never betray MI6, but they can still be trusted at least for now."
Shade nodded understandingly, and Director Anlos gave him a new certificate:
"But you should not have direct contact with the Wood family. I have arranged a contact for you. If you need any help during the operation in the Moon Bay area, you can ask this agent codenamed 'Boatman' for help."
The certificate given to Shade was a "first-level salesman" of the "United Fruit Company". The text on the certificate was in Carsonic, and the name was left behind for the convenience of tax accounting when Shade joined MI6.
Pseudonym "Sherlock Holmes".
But Shade had never heard of this fruit company, and it seemed to be one of MI6's disguises in Carsonlik.
"So do you know about a local organization in Moon Bay called the 'Eternal Light'?"
Shade asked again, and Director Anlos nodded unexpectedly:
"Do you even know this? The Eternal Light is a church organization that has developed from the countryside and downtown areas of the Yuewan area in the past ten years. However, they do not believe in any gods, but believe in the light itself. Because it does not
It develops believers in the traditional sense, and its scope of influence is limited to the Yuewan area, and its size is extremely small, so the Five Gods Church did not intervene."
"So what exactly does this organization do?"
“In the beginning, we just encouraged people to face life positively, and occasionally organized some trauma mutual aid meetings to help people who were in trouble because of the loss of their loved ones to become positive and optimistic, and sometimes even provided legal consultation, which allowed them to establish a good relationship in the early stage.
reputation.
Later, Eternal Light began to encourage people to resist darkness and injustice. At this stage, they attracted the attention of Yuewan City Hall. It was not until recent years that their ideas became much more radical and they began to promote their ideas on a large scale in the city.
and ideas.”
Director Anlos shook his head:
"Xia De, you should know very well that the world is not black and white. Well, next is their philosophy: light dispels darkness. They want to change the Yuewan area in their own way, so the Yuewan Police Department launched a
To make up your mind, you must first change them. Don't feel sorry for them. There is a lot of evidence to prove that there are other people standing behind this group of people, otherwise their financial resources cannot be explained.
Moreover, Yuewan City Police Department has completely banned all kinds of propaganda of "Eternal Light" in the city since the winter of 1852. But now in the summer of 1854, even those who live in Tobesk can know their names.
, which also shows that someone has provided help to them."
"Those seven families in Yuewan?"
"It's hard to tell clearly. Our people rarely have contact with the 'Eternal Light' in the Moon Bay area."
Director Anlos said as he stood up and prepared to leave. He did not mention that there was a mission for Shade to complete in the Moon Bay area. But if it was really necessary, he would not forget Shade, the ace agent.
So Shade stood at the door and said goodbye to his boss, quite curious about what Director Anlos thought of him.
"Meow~meow~"
"I know, I know, let's have breakfast."
"Meow!"
This cat is really easy to understand.
After breakfast, Shade took out the time key obtained from the treasure of the Mimic in the Green Lake area. Since he had rested for a month, he also used formal means in advance, that is, he put the key under his pillow and fell asleep.
Understand the time corresponding to this key.
It will lead Shade to the late fifth era and have another brand-new adventure. But I don’t know what kind of story it will be this time.
"This feels like life is back on track. It's the late fifth era. See you in three seconds, Mia. May the World Tree protect me in time."
The door of the room where he was lying on his side was opened, and the cat squatting on the back of the sofa watched Shade step into the white mist as thick as cotton wool.
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of the Fifth Age 5180, the outer sea, the lightless sea.]
【Event: The "Glory Messenger" cruise ship crashed. 】
【Duration thirty minutes (1/3).】
"The location that was supposed to be the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent or the Broken Islands has become the 'outer sea'. It seems to be outside the land. There is no light. The description of the event is simple this time. What is the mission?"
【You have obtained additional information.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you.]
[The ancient god of time gives you a test.]
