The Whispering Verses Chapter 549: The mission of MI6
Eluna and Luvia stayed in the [Dark Dungeon] for half an hour before coming out. At that time, Shade was sorting out his books in the study on the second floor, planning to take advantage of the big city player period to get the second-year demon Practice your medicine and alchemy skills.
Both girls were unwilling to tell Shade what they had talked about with their "self" in the darkness, but they both thought they had gained a lot.
Shad originally had the idea of letting Luvia stay overnight, but before he tried to express his thoughts secretly, Iluna expressed that he wanted to leave with Luvia and wanted to ask about some inconveniences. Shade listened to the question.
"Then we'll leave first."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and waved at Shade. Of course she could see what Shade was thinking, but the two of them still had to avoid Iluna:
"I'm going to have a good rest, Shade, good night."
In front of Iluna, he gently kissed the side of Shade's face.
"When did your relationship become so good?"
Eluna asked suspiciously, Shade shook his head:
"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask just now. Iluna, is your eye okay now?"
Shad refers to Iluna's eye that was condensed with divinity. If it were not for divinity, the eye that had been sacrificed to the ancient **** would not have been able to be restored no matter what. In the final battle in the [Dark Realm], Iluna's eyes seemed to be on fire. Although this allowed her to see in the dark, Shade was worried that other problems would occur with her eyes.
"This eye is very good, better than normal eyes."
Eluna replied, tilting her head and glanced at Luvia, then walked up to Shade and kissed Shade gently on the side of his face:
"Good night then, Shade."
She said softly with a blushing face, then smiled and took Luvia's arm and left with her.
Shad took Mia and sent the two girls downstairs, watching them walk towards the intersection of Saint Teresa Square.
Finally, I looked up at the moon in the sky:
"Do you think I can finally rest for a while?"
[Probably yes. 】
"Meow~"
Mia squirmed in Shade's arms, squinting her eyes and letting out a soft cry.
"I'm asking the moon."
The moonlight shines on Xia De's face, and the scenery of March hanging high in the night sky is something you can never see in his hometown.
【Really? 】
She was laughing softly, and that laugh was very reassuring.
(Little Mia is running)
After the Darkness incident was over, Shade thought that his life had finally entered a peaceful time.
The next day was Monday, the second day of the Harvest Moon. Shade didn't think of opening this week's gifts until he woke up early in the morning.
While having breakfast, I moved the [God’s Gift Box] to the dining table on the second floor. As soon as I opened the box, Mia scurried in quickly before she even reached out.
Shade's hand "struggled" with the cat in the box for at least ten seconds before he successfully fished it out.
But when I grabbed the cat by the back of the neck and pulled it out, I found that its tail was hooked to a string of things. When I pulled the whole cat out, I saw that it was a string of dried food. sausage.
Because he doesn’t like to cook by himself, Shade does stock similar foods at home, but Shade can guarantee that he never stuffed dried sausages into gift boxes. God’s creation is used for pure food. Blasphemy.
"So, this is this week's gift?"
Xia De thought as he held the string of small sausages, and with a slight stroke of his finger, the silver moonlight flashed, and he cut two small slices from the sausage at the end.
Put one piece in front of Mia on the table and eat one by yourself. It tastes very good:
"But, is this a gift that Mia got, or a gift that I got?"
As soon as the idea comes to mind, information about what needs to be done this week appears. Shade needs to take the family pet out for walks at least twice, each time for no less than half an hour.
"Is this a request for me or for Mia?"
Even if there is no such request, Shade will go out to walk the cat. But for Mia, getting out of the house is a bad thing.
While eating breakfast, I read the newspaper for a while. The newspaper mentioned the news that Saxophone Cavendish was convicted of treason. Although this could be considered big news, it only reached the third page of the Torbesk Morning News, and it was only an area in the lower half of the third page. It seems that the king also wants this matter to end like this.
"Execution has been carried out"
Xia De sighed at the final result, not because he pitied the other party, after all, he didn't even know what the other party looked like. He just sighed at the royal family's ruthlessness, but when he thought about it carefully, in order to maintain the stability of the kingdom, this approach was actually the right thing to do. Valley
The daily life of foreigners is actually quite boring. After breakfast, they originally wanted to trick Mia into going to the bathroom to take a shower, but this smart cat seemed to see through Shade's purpose because he went to the bathroom in advance to prepare hot water.
While Shade put on the hot water and put on gloves to catch the cat, Mia had already rushed into the bedroom and hid at the top of the closet and refused to come down.
So Shade could only put his plans on hold, thinking that he must make a surprise attack on Mia next time.
But I couldn’t waste the hot water, so I washed my clothes at home all morning. Judging by the recent weather, summer is over and he can start preparing for autumn clothing.
"Maybe I should really find some servants who can come to the house to cook and clean. If I can't afford full-time servants, I can at least find one that charges by the hour."
This is what Shade thought when he sat on the small bench and washed the clothes in the basin under the sunshine on the balcony. Although he was tired, he still enjoyed this leisure time:
"One should not belittle one's own achievements, but one should not be overly arrogant either. It's just that as a foreigner, I can face gods and kill demons, but I still have to do my own laundry. This is definitely not right."
Thinking in his mind, he glanced at the Mia cat squatting next to him. After confirming that Shade had used the hot water in the bathroom, it jumped off the wardrobe.
"This cat is so lazy, it would be great if it could help with the laundry."
The voice in his ears chuckled, and Shade couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He was amused by his own thoughts.
"Meow~"
The cat’s fur seems to be glowing in the early autumn sunshine. It licked its paws, then stared with big eyes, curiously looking at the bubbles in the water basin that showed colorful colors in the sunlight.
Shad really likes this kind of life.
After washing the clothes, I went out to the MI6 stronghold at around 11 o'clock, which is the "Municipal Waste Management Center" in the West District of Tobesk.
The small gray building located between the snuff bottle shop and the shoemaker's shop specializing in rain boots is hidden in the bustling steam city. If they don't know in advance that this is a stronghold, ordinary people will hardly be interested in looking at it even if they pass by. A small building.
Shad originally came to see Mr. Giles Johnson from the Facilities Management Office to collect this month's salary, but after knocking on the door, he found that there were other people in the Facilities Management Office.
It's not another agent, but Shade's boss, Director Dark Anlos.
"Look who this is, Knight Hamilton."
This very ordinary-looking gentleman shook hands with Xia De enthusiastically. When he saw Xia De holding the envelope containing the bill, he knew what he was here for.
Asking Mr. Johnson to help Shade handle the salary, reimbursement and bullet quota matters, Director Anlos motioned to Shade to follow him.
The two walked between the shelves inside the equipment management, Mr. Anlos said with a smile:
"I was originally thinking of going to your place later, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I met you here."
The only thing he could do was write "I have a task for you" written on his face.
"Excuse me, what's going on?"
Xia De asked cautiously.
Although when she first joined the company, Miss Carina said that Shade didn't have to do anything. But if there is a real need, Shade will not refuse the mission arranged by MI6. Presumably Director Anlos would not give him anything particularly difficult to do.
"Mr. Hamilton, I remember he is a master of Rhodes. So, are you participating in the big city players that will open this Friday, the sixth day of the Flower Moon?"
Mr. Anlos asked, Shade nodded:
"Of course."
"That would be great."
Director Anlos simply knew that the holders of the Founding Series cards would participate in this competition. It is no longer news to local Rhodes players. Even if he was not the director of MI6, he would have known this kind of thing just by asking anyone.
"It's like this, Shade Hamilton, Branch 6 has a small mission, and it needs agents who can participate in this competition to complete it. Do you know the Principality of Set?"
Xia De thought for a while, and asked hesitantly through memories and "her" prompts in his ears:
"That small country located in the southeast of Dra Rayon, between Dra Rayon and Kasenrik? If I remember correctly, this country was separated from Dra Rayon three hundred years ago. At that time Archduke Seth Cavendish was allowed to establish a principality. Initially, the principality and the kingdom had unified taxation and military ties. In recent centuries, it has become increasingly independent, but it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of Delrayon. "
"Yes, the Sixth Bureau suspects that the Principality of Set has a connection with Kasenrik that we don't know about. Because of the special position of the principality, we cannot allow it to completely turn to Kasenrik, or even allow them to have more relationships. Close relationship, this is a huge threat to the security of the border. Knight, please look at this photo."
Mr. Anlos handed Shade a black and white photo of a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties.
"Virgil Cameron has no official status on the surface, but secretly he is the lover of the contemporary Grand Duke of Set. He relies on his looks and flattery to gain a high status in the principality's court."
"The contemporary Grand Duke is a woman?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"No, Archduke Alexis Cavendish is male."
Mr. Anlos glanced at Shade and put the photo away.
