After saying these words, the stranger wearing the clown mask stood up and left. Shade looked at his back and continued thinking:
"At the end of the Battle of Green Lake, the [Dragon Feast Order] withdrew from the final battle because they accidentally learned the fragments of a poem related to the Chosen One of Light. At that time, I was busy with matters in the Green Lake area, so I did not proceed.
After in-depth investigation, I didn’t expect that the other party would appear again so soon. The Dragon Cult, the Chosen Ones of Light, the ancient dragon nest, and the seven glorious families related to dragons in local legends. Speaking of which, I remember the ancient and bright people.
God, His title is"
【Dragon of Glory.】
"She" whispered the answer into Shade's ear.
"Long-haired Luvia told me in her dream that dragons will be very useful next. Isn't that what she's referring to? The Chosen One of Light. Dragon."
Although there is no evidence yet, if the chosen one of light really appears in the Moon Bay area, then there will definitely be content related to "dragon" in the corresponding poem fragments.
"Slay the dragon? No, the ancient god in the legend is a dragon. Does it require a dragonborn identity? This is possible, but I am not a dragonborn. Maybe this time, the identity of the chosen one is no longer relevant to me.
There is overlap."
"She" smiled softly, and there seemed to be some other meaning in her laughter.
Although he was aware of the possibility that the story of the chosen one would start again, Shade was not in a hurry to go back to share with Luvia or perform divination, but continued his actions in the Moon Bay area.
He placed a long-term commission on the black market to purchase special coins and antiques related to fairy tales, and the time was only ten o'clock in the morning.
Considering that he had to meet the witch in the afternoon, the remaining time was not enough for him to complete other important tasks.
After thinking about it carefully, I finally gave up the idea of going to the museum in the morning and headed to the Parsifal Club instead.
As the owner of a club where high-level local technicians gather, the female shopkeeper Mrs. Frey is also a well-known local information dealer. This time, Shade did not turn into a butterfly and sneak in quietly. Instead, he used illusion magic to change his face and walked directly through the main entrance.
Got in.
The smell of powder made Shade very uncomfortable as soon as he opened the door and entered, but the sound of music and laughter was surprisingly not very annoying.
Shade thought he would go find Mrs. Frey by himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, the woman with a feather fan and half-white hair who looked to be in her fifties took the initiative to greet her with a twisted waist and a smile:
"You are a new guest from out of town. Look at your handsome appearance. I bet that all the girls here will like you. Do you need me to introduce you?"
She walked up to Shade very familiarly, covering her face with a feather fan and smiling softly. She didn't look like a woman in her fifties at all.
Shade was worried that if he stayed here for too long, he would get an inappropriate smell, which would affect his meeting with the witch in the afternoon, so he kept the story short:
"The 'Boatman' asked me to come."
"It turns out that there is a girl I know well. That kid is really lucky. Come with me and I will take you there. People say that my place is more comfortable than at home."
So Shade followed the woman wearing a blue top and red skirt through the first floor, the second floor and the third floor. He met many people on the way, and no matter who they were, they were all very polite to Mrs. Frey.
The room she opened happened to be the room where Shade threatened Freeman Hawthorne a few days ago, but this time there was no one in the room.
"Boatman? I know you always have to pay back a favor. What do you want from me? Money? News? Or Rhodes cards?"
After closing the door, Mrs. Frey put down the fan and asked, her tone still smiling.
"I want news. But what does the Rhodes card mean?"
Shade asked, but Mrs. Frey did not answer, nor did she let Shade sit down. The two of them stood on the round red carpet in the center of the room and talked. The carpet was quite thick and very comfortable to lie on.
.Xia De almost knows the purpose.
"What do you want to know? Don't worry about my safety here. What you say will only exist between the two of us."
Shade was noncommittal:
"I want to have contact with gray glove people, and the position must be high enough. Yes, just contact."
"You don't need to explain to me what you want to do. I'm only responsible for selling information. If it hadn't been introduced by the boatman, you would have given me 1,000 crowns and you wouldn't have gotten this information. But who made me owe a favor?"
She covered her face with the feather fan and sighed, but it was obvious that she was pretending. Then she told Shade the location and name, but also made her own request:
"No matter what you want to do, remember, you didn't get your information from me. I'm breaking my own rules by telling you this."
"I came here for peace, not to deal with anyone. Besides, this is the territory of Kasenrik. Do the people in Gray Gloves still worry about their own safety?"
Shade asked with a smile, and then Mrs. Frey also laughed:
"Let me think about where to make fun of you. For peace? Gray Gloves fear for his own safety? No - this is Carsonric territory, and that's the funniest thing."
This contact was quite friendly, so Mrs. Frey also invited Shade to come here to "play" in the future. Of course, in addition to "playing", she was also willing to sell paid information to Shade. For example, Shade spent 1 euro
Er, which is more than 1 pound, learned that the "Rhode Cards" mentioned by the other party just now refer to three precious special rules cards that are rumored to appear locally.
After the businessman who originally held the three cards was killed by the Black Hand, the three cards had fallen into the hands of different people. Mrs. Frey already knew the whereabouts of one of the cards and knew that the card belonged to the ancient [Holy Sword]
】series.
She said that if Shade was willing, he could buy the clues she mentioned for 20 crowns.
"But the average auction price of special rules cards is only fifty or sixty gold pounds. 20 crowns. Even at the current exchange rate, it is 228 pounds."
"This only shows that those cards have such value."
Mrs. Frey continued to hide her face and said with a smile, but Shade had no intention of buying. He had spent enough money today, and there were a lot of things going on recently. He had to at least finish the things at hand before he had time to care about buying.
Even if you get the information, you may not be able to actually get the Rhodes card.
While there was still time in the morning, Shade went to meet the people from Gray Gloves before lunch. Margaret did not have the ability to fully control Gray Gloves, so Shade did not bother her but did these things himself. Besides, this time it was
For Lesia, Shade always felt something was wrong if he borrowed Margaret's power.
The address given by Mrs. Frey is in the core urban area of Yuewan City, even opposite the city council. Mr. Dylan, who runs a bookstore, originally thought that Shade was here to buy books, but when Shade handed over the "Grey-Headed Eagle"
The certificate was thrown in front of him. The man who opened the certificate shook his hand. When he raised his head, he looked at the young man in front of him with trembling surprise:
"you"
"It doesn't matter to me, the key is that the owner of this document needs you to do something."
As the ace of the Gray Gloves, "Grey Eagle" has a top status in the organizational system. Such behavior of liaising agents across regions across multiple levels is definitely not formal for others to do, but for "Grey Eagle" it is consistent with his status.
.
Like the dead Detective Sparrow, Shade had to hide his identity and mission until his death, and he didn't have to be too cautious like that detective. Today, he still retains the ability to "lurk in Tobesk and contact the local nobles"
task, but because of Margaret's intervention, he can actually do more.
"Okay, this is my honor. Your Excellency, after more than ten years, you have finally returned to Yuewan. Come this way, let's chat upstairs. It is really our honor that you can take the initiative to contact us.
"
The owner of the bookstore enthusiastically invited Shade to the study room upstairs. When he sat down and prepared tea, he asked Shade tremblingly if he would do the same thing this time as he did more than ten years ago. They could immediately activate the special information.
Use the Internet to collect information about the seven major families.
Only then did Shade realize that he had made a mistake:
"I'm not here to kill people. Those separatists learned their lesson more than ten years ago. At least I'm not here to kill people now."
Shade asked local agents to help with four things.
Determine the current status of the safe house that he, the Gray Eagle, used more than ten years ago;
In the next month, pay close attention to the movements of the Black family among the Seven Glory families;
Investigate the use of Yuewan Bridge project funds and monitor the household consumption of relevant accountants and other financial personnel;
Speed up the review of transnational trading companies and fleets that may be related to MI6 to determine whether anyone is engaged in arms trade. It is best to complete this matter within a week. If time is tight, let go of those without definite evidence first.
target and focus on investigating key suspects.
Among these four things, the first thing seems to be Grey-headed Eagle trying to restart the safe house; the second thing is to divert attention, Shade and the Black family have no grievances; the third thing Gray Glove was originally doing
, they can complete the task by summarizing the information; the fourth thing is Shade's real purpose, but it is also the job of Gray Gloves' local department.
Shade did not directly order the Gray Gloves Department to order customs to let "Princess Trading Partner" go, but asked them to speed up the review. After all, Lesia really has nothing to do with MI6, and she did not resell arms this time.
.Even the "Princess Trading Partner" is not a key suspect, otherwise it would not be just the customs department using "quarantine issues" as an excuse to refuse to review.
In short, the most difficult trouble to handle in the eyes of Ms. Anne Bonny, Mr. William Kidd and Baron George Robert was the easiest to handle in the eyes of Shade. Although it took a long way to find the contact person of Gray Gloves.
, but it’s just a waste of time and a few cups of tea.
PS: Meet the Witch in the next chapter. A well-received (probably) relic that appeared many chapters ago will appear again. Can you guess what it is?
