After leaving the manor, the elf girl's mood became high again. With Shade's help, she no longer worried about the difficulty of solving the cursed letter, and she talked enthusiastically about her feelings about Tobesk on the way.
As for the two's next destination, the address on the letter found in the valet's belongings pointed to the Hyde Club, not far from Regent's Park in the east of the city.
The east side of the city is the area where rich people gather, and the famous "Hyde Club" is the favorite social place for foreign envoys in Delrayon. It is not easy for Shade to enter this kind of place easily.
, so when Miss Carina sent a carriage to take them there, she also gave Shade a letter allowing Shade to enter her private room.
So at ten o'clock that morning, Shade took Amelia, who looked curious, into this aristocratic club that was not open to the public. Originally, Shade thought that even if he met an acquaintance here, he would probably be his boss Anlos.
Director, but he did not expect that when the servant led the two of them to Miss Carina's room, they met Agelina and a group of people in the corridor covered with red carpets and the walls painted gold.
Lesia the maid.
"Look who this is, why is Mr. Detective here?"
The elegant and noble red-haired princess showed a charming smile, dismissed the servant who led Shade away, and walked towards him:
"Good morning, Detective Hamilton from Ray Jade. Are you going to your great-aunt's room? Oh, and you are bringing a strange girl with you?"
She said this deliberately, and Amelia was indeed a little embarrassed. But she was not afraid of Lesia. Instead, she looked at her curiously, praising her temperament and appearance in her heart.
"Good morning, Your Highness Lesia, Her Highness Agelina. Emilia, this is Princess Lesia Cavendish, and this is Princess Agelina Cavendish. Your Highnesses
, this is my client."
Shade made introductions respectively. When the elf girl heard that it was a princess, she immediately showed more interest in her eyes. When the little princess on the side heard the name "Emilia", she also realized that the person in front of her was an elf.
So the young princess and the young elf looked at each other, and for some reason they felt that the other person would suit their temperament very well.
No one was chatting in the corridor. Lecia took her sister and the maids and followed Shade to Miss Carina's private room. The princesses did not appear here to spend time in the city this morning.
Instead, their mother, Queen Diana, was now seven or eight months pregnant. Instead of their mother, they secretly met a noble lady from afar at the club.
After entering the room, Lesia also heard Shade talk about the reason why he and Emilia came here. The elegant red-haired princess thought about it:
"So what level of relic is this?"
"Um?"
Shade and the elf girl both showed surprised expressions, while Lesia had her own idea:
"I also know something about ring wizards."
As he spoke, he patted Agelina on the shoulder and said to Emilia:
"Although I am an ordinary person, Agelina is a first-year student at Zarath Academy of Literature this year. She told me about the ring magicians."
Agelina nodded numbly. Shade probably understood Lesia's thoughts, so he continued to introduce:
"Secretkeeper-level relic. The address on the letter is room 19 of the club. I originally planned to conduct a secret investigation after entering here."
"There is no need to investigate, I will take you to ask directly."
Lesia said nonchalantly, letting Agelina talk to Emilia in the room, and she took Shade back to the corridor. She made sure that the door was closed and that there was no one else in the corridor except her maid.
After that, he lowered his voice and said to Shade:
"I want to find some ring magician friends for Agelina that she can talk to. Now that her status has changed, she also needs some ring magician friends. I don't feel comfortable dating other people. Only friends like Emilia
good."
Although she is harsh on her sister on the surface, she really cares about Agelina:
"Xia De, we will ask about the situation later. Let's not go back yet and let them talk for a while. I feel that their temperament and temper are very consistent, especially in terms of figure."
But sometimes she is really merciless to Agelina.
But at least Lesia had the right idea. When Shade left the club with Miss Elf, she had already exchanged addresses with Agelina. In this way, even if Emilia left Tobesk in the future,
The elves and princesses can also communicate at any time.
Emilia was really at odds with Agelina. When the carriage started slowly again, she couldn't help praising Shade that the princesses in reality were as elegant and charming as the princesses in the story:
"Princess Agelina's words are really interesting. The way she just became a ring magician reminds me of my appearance when I first entered school. And Princess Lesia, she is so beautiful."
She said with longing and envy:
"Has the bloodline of the Cavendish royal family always been so good? Although she is not as mature as Duke Carina, I think that when she reaches Duke Carina's age, she will be as beautiful and temperamental as the Duke.
"
Shade immediately reminded:
"You must never say it in front of Lesia, she will become like Miss Carina in the future. Never say it, never say it."
The immature elf girl blinked, not really understanding the intricate relationships between the royal family members.
The club's investigation went smoothly with Lesia's assistance. The owner of the room was the military attache of the Embassy of the Principality of Set in Tobesk. This principality, Shade, was quite familiar with it. Virgil competed with him for the "Big City Players 1853" championship last fall.
Mr. Cameron is from there.
Most of the foreign embassies and consulates stationed in the Tobesk area are concentrated in the eastern district of Tobesk, close to the core urban area. Now that most of the morning has passed, Shade was originally worried that the investigation would take longer, but when they waited again
After getting off the carriage, Shade knew that they had finally reached the destination.
Because Shade saw Iluna.
This time, Iluna was not wearing a police uniform, but her own civilian clothes. She had no teammates around her and seemed to be walking alone, but Shade could tell that she was observing the embassy across the street.
The eighteen-year-old girl quickly noticed Shade, and then saw the blond elf following Shade—she heard about Emilia from Luvia.
Of course, Emilia still remembered Iluna she met on the day she checked into the hotel. Seeing Iluna coming over, she hid behind Shade. Iluna gave Shade a look, and the three of them left.
Entering an alley that was temporarily deserted:
"Good morning, Shade. Are you here to investigate?"
Iluna asked, glancing at the blond elf:
"I spared your friends last time at the Three Cats Hotel. Why did I bring her out again this time?"
Shade guessed that Iluna didn't want to expose the familiar relationship between the two, so he said sheepishly:
"Good morning, we are investigating a relic."
Then he introduced to Emilia:
"This is Miss Iluna Bayas, a ring sorcerer from the local Sun Church. I became familiar with her because of something before, and she often helps me."
Iluna snorted and looked at Emilia:
"Out-of-town ring warlocks have to behave more locally, but if they run into trouble, I can help."
Emilia nodded obediently, not knowing why the other party seemed to be hostile to her.
Iluna still remembered the business and asked Shade the reason why they came here. She also explained her reason for coming here:
"The church has detected that in recent times, strong curse reactions have occurred intermittently near the Embassy of the Principality of Set, so it gave the investigation task to our team. The captain asked me to confirm it first, and if there are any problems, report it to the church for a search warrant. Here
After all, it is an embassy and consulate, and we cannot act rashly."
"It's a curse, a secret-keeper-level relic [Malicious Chain Curse Letter]."
Emilia said immediately and looked at Shade again. Shade thought for a while:
"Emilia only has seven days left, and I want to deal with this matter now. Ilu, Miss Bayas, what do you think, can you use illusion magic to sneak in with us?"
This is not in line with the rules of the church, but Iluna never cares about such rules:
"Of course, I mean, it has to be this way."
As he spoke, he glanced at the elf again, thinking that he wanted to show off his power in front of the beautiful elf.
Iluna was at the eighth level at this time, one level higher than Shade. However, she was not good at illusions, so the three of them relied on Shade's red butterfly illusion to enter the embassy.
Relying on the compass in Iluna's hand to search for the source of the curse, which is the church's standard equipment, the three of them walked around the building, which was not small in size, and finally determined that the target was located in the eastmost room on the second floor.
After confirming that there was only one person in the room, Shade opened the door with the "Door Key". The three of them entered in a flash, and then found that the room was extremely dark. All the curtains were tightly closed, and the morning sunlight could not penetrate.
When Iluna summoned a soft warm yellow light ball for illumination, they all saw densely written curse words full of malice written on the walls, floors, and curtains.
"Come this way."
This room is a remote reception room in the embassy, specially designed to receive unwelcome guests. The room is divided into two floors, the inner and outer floors. Pass through the door and enter the inner room. The blood-red letters all over the wall have a real curse effect.
strength.
The only "living person" in the room was the dark thing curled up on the sofa. At first glance, it looked like a thin ape, but upon further inspection, I realized that it was a human being. The body was thin and skinny, and the limbs were slender.
