The Whispering Verses Chapter 1729: Disloyal men
"I'm not in poor health, I'm... Luvia, thank you for helping me last night..."
Dorothy pursed her lips and said, and Shade knew very well that she must be communicating with Lesia in her heart, complaining about Her Royal Highness the Princess's behavior on Saturday night.
"Gift!"
"Meow!"
Shad took the mask out of the gift box. It was a white cat mask that could cover the entire face and was fixed on the face with a tether.
Mia seemed startled by the mask and jumped away from her bowl of goat's milk. But after quickly realizing that this was not a living creature, he stretched out his paw and patted the mask twice.
"Common items."
Xia De shook his head and put the mask aside:
"Sure enough, you can't expect to get relics like [Master Key] and [Ghost Iron Coin] every time."
Luvia looked at the mask and suddenly asked:
"Do you still remember the result I got from your divination before you set out for Green Lake for the first time?" (Chapter 1581)
"Of course I remember, cats, twins."
Luvia thought for a moment:
"You've almost figured out the meaning of twins. But what does the cat represent?"
"Representative, will I gain the 'Cat Transformation Technique' after that?"
Shad asked, but shook his head. Although his latest adventure has a lot to do with "cats", it is actually mostly preparation for the "seven-day trip". In the Green Lake area, even without the cat-changing technique, it would not cause much inconvenience to his movements.
"Yes, if your divination result was correct, what does the cat represent?"
So the time came to Tuesday, the day before the lunar eclipse, the 29th day of the Sowing Moon.
When he arrived at the Green Lake Hotel early in the morning, Shade learned from the newspaper that Miss Carina and her party would arrive in the city tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow. This was as planned, and the delegation encountered no attacks or accidents on the way.
Shade did not see Megan in the hotel early that morning, but she sent a letter telling Shade to be prepared to land on the island tomorrow and Wednesday, as well as other new news.
That message is the church in action. The church's new round of inspections on the central island of Green Lake has ended. Although it still has not been able to find a way to enter another island, it has discovered new features on the island: the rituals arranged on the island and the large-scale signs of damage will quietly Disappeared silently.
This means that not only are the church's ring warlocks unable to stay on the island for a long time, they cannot even arrange rituals to monitor changes on the island.
Now the church team has basically withdrawn from the central island of Green Lake. They have only arranged manpower and ceremonies on the normal lake surface to prevent anything from rushing out in the heavy fog. The entire lake area should have been put under martial law and even the villages around the lake should have been evacuated. But now during the negotiations between the two countries, almost the whole world's eyes are watching here. If Green Lake is completely blocked, there will definitely be a lot of noise.
In addition, the Prophet's Association believed that the total blockade was within Laplace Klein Howard's plan, so the lake area was not under martial law, and Megan had already found a way to land on the island.
The only thing they need to worry about now is that the two of them may bump into sporadic teams of the church on the island tomorrow.
Although he did not see Meghan on Tuesday, Shade received letters from the Foran brothers. Last week, Shade learned that the two brothers were ring warlocks belonging to the Rosicrucian Order, and this organization had absorbed some believers of the old god, the God of Love.
They wrote this letter to tell Shade that within the Rosicrucian Order, the true believers in the old **** have arrived in the City of Glass, Michaela Blast Furnace City, and will be able to meet Shade today.
Without further ado, Shade set off from the Green Lake Hotel and took a carriage through the border checkpoint to the city on the south bank of Green Lake. While crossing the border, he also met Captain Rades and chatted with him for a few words.
"Duke Carina will be arriving soon, and our tasks have become much heavier these days."
"The task of monitoring illegal border crossings?"
The captain shook his head:
"Of course not, it is a task of training and formation. The Duke or other big figures may come to the military camp to inspect. My boss, Colonel Dewey, attaches great importance to this matter. Look over there, the people who originally maintained the order of the queue The soldiers were a company, and now there are only two squads left...Guess what did the others do?"
Xia De thought for a moment:
"Cleaning?"
Looking at Captain Rades's expression, he obviously guessed it right.
The meeting place between the Fulen brothers and Schade was at the "Victory Carell Hotel" in the center of Michaela Blast City. The location here is quite good. You can see the city hall and the meandering Duin River directly from the window. .
In addition, Professor Boulanger, who helped Shade, also lives here, but he should still be taking his students to inspect the north shore of Green Lake.
The Victory Carrier Hotel is located at a five-way intersection. The hotel protrudes toward the center of the intersection, forming a triangular layout as a whole. When Shade paid the coachman and entered the hotel with the parade passing by in the background, the Fulen brothers were sitting at the table waiting for Shade:
"Mr. Watson, this way."
They asked Shad to sit down, and then Eric Foran gave Shad a note with three house numbers on it:
"We have to rush to the meeting, so I won't go up with you."
He pointed upstairs:
"Mr. Richard, Mr. Upton and Ms. Hope are all in their respective rooms. You can go to them individually, or you can just go to one or two of them. They are all Central, the most important among us. A devout believer in Eros, but Mr. Upton is usually eccentric. If you want to communicate with him later, please don’t worry about his offense. Oh, we said you are our friend, you don’t have to worry about your identity.”
Xia De nodded to express his understanding, but asked another question:
"Can you please tell me how many people came to [Rosicrucian Society] this time?"
The two brothers hesitated for a while, and finally Charles spoke:
"We can't say the exact number, but it must be more than this."
He held out three fingers:
"In addition, our president is also here. He is a twelve-ring warlock. Now the president is in contact with the Zhengshen Church. He has discussed with us that he should take the initiative to expose our identity as a descendant of Edwards."
This approach is very wise. It can not only protect the Fulan brothers, but also prevent the [Rosicrucian Order] from completely losing its right to participate in this matter.
Xia De nodded:
"Okay. I'll go up then... When will you be free? There are some things I want to talk to you about again. No, not in the past two days. How about the weekend?"
The two brothers thought for a while:
"It should be fine this weekend. We will contact my aunt then."
"No problem."
Xia De nodded, said goodbye to his brothers and went upstairs.
It should be said that the industrial development of the City of Glass is reflected in all aspects. Although the Green Lake Hotel run by siblings Solon Green and Helena Green is the best hotel in Green Lake City, if compared with its counterparts in the City of Glass, the interior decoration and living environment of the Green Lake Hotel are actually inferior. Not the best kind.
The Victory Carell Hotel is what Shade remembers as a big city hotel, similar to the "Fertile Land Hotel" where Luvia lived in Randall Valley at the beginning of this year.
Not only is the decoration level first-class, but the rooms reserved for wealthy guests on the upper floors are also quite luxurious.
Among the Rosicrucian ring magicians, the three disciples of Eros all live on different floors. Among them, Mr. Upton and Ms. Hope, who were rated as having "bad personalities", lived in ordinary rooms on the second floor, with house numbers 215 and 221 respectively. Mr. Richard, the highest ranking among the three, lived in a luxurious room on the fourth floor. Suite No. 402.
Xia De chose to go to the fourth floor first, probably because it was a working day in the morning, so the corridor on the fourth floor was so quiet that when Xia De knocked on the door on the fourth floor, he felt the knocking sound. So abrupt.
Soon there were footsteps behind the door, and then a voice sounded from inside the door:
"Who is it?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Richard? I am the friend mentioned by Mr. Fulan."
After he finished speaking, the door of the room was opened. A short, gray-haired old man who looked to be in his fifties appeared behind the door. He frowned slightly, looked at Shade up and down, and then suddenly said:
"You are not loyal!"
"Sorry, what?"
Xia De blinked suspiciously, and the old man shook his head:
"You clearly heard me clearly. I said: You are not loyal. Come in and don't talk at the door."
"But didn't you just say that I..."
"Young man, don't be stupid. In this era, how many people can you find who will be loyal to one love throughout their lives? People's hearts are complex and their emotions are changeable. Compared with other people I have met, you are not Not the worst kind of man."
As he spoke, he motioned for Shade to follow him into the room.
The two sat down in the living room, but Mr. Richard did not prepare tea for Shade. Moreover, after sitting down, he did not give Shade a chance to speak. Instead, he handed Shade a picture album.
The picture album was the size of an ordinary book, but very thin, with only about a dozen pages. It was held together by six silver metal book rings on the sides. This is no ordinary item. It has miraculous elements, but the traces of the elements are not very obvious. It should be some kind of magical item.
"Look at each painting and tell me what you see."
Mr. Richard said. Seeing that Shade was a little hesitant, he added:
"Every time I meet a cyclist willing to sit down and talk, I invite them to take my 'psychological test.' Every painting here is an abstract image, you just have to tell me what they look like to you Come on, whatever is most like it. The results of the test represent your views on love, marriage and lovers. Please do this before our formal conversation begins. ”
This sounds a lot like the kind of test in a foreigner's hometown.
