The Whispering Verses Chapter 659: Agent’s Remuneration

Chapter 659 Agent’s Remuneration

It was extremely quiet in the carriage, and coupled with Shade’s super physical fitness and the enhancement of hearing by [Echoes of the Past] in his divine afterglow state, he vaguely heard a few words of Kasenrik, but they were not very clear:

"What are you talking about?"

[The maid said: Your Highness, people from MI6 were found around the station. 】

"Huh? How could you hear that?"

The whispering continued:

【If you can see directions you can't see, can't you hear sounds you can't detect? 】

What "she" said does make sense, and Shade himself heard part of the voice, and the "other self" with stronger perception can understand it after hearing more:

"However, MI6 is actually wrong? Your Highness?"

His eyes widened slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he said:

"Your Highness, you didn't need to use honorifics to me just now."

Then he asked:

"Also, what happened?"

"A talented person like you who serves the country deserves my honorific."

The lady behind the screen spoke faster than before, obviously not expecting MI6 to appear here.

But Shade can understand that although Director Anlos did not go from Shade to the specific pick-up location, he at least knew that it was related to "Fort Midhill". If their investigation is specific enough, it is possible that they may know there is something wrong with this train by accident.

"Mr. Gray Eagle, please leave first."

"Your Highness, do you have a backup plan? Speaking of which, why are you here to pick up the goods?"

Shad's thoughts are getting smoother and smoother. "Your Highness" is a proper noun for Kasenrik, and not everyone can use it. Therefore, although he was also surprised, the woman behind the screen must be the princess of the Southern Kingdom.

Xia De is not sure which one it is, but no matter who it is, they should not appear here casually. This is absolutely against the rules, and even thinking about it, it is ridiculous.

So it can only be explained that she took advantage of the Gray Glove system to take risks and act privately, hoping to see the contents of the box in advance:

"Why are the princesses in this world so bold?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly and said after a pause:

"Your Highness, you are not appearing here privately"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Shad smiled and switched into the common language of Delarion:

"Your Highness, since the people from MI6 have been discovered by you, it means that they will search here soon. The people from MI6 will not let this car go. I think you can probably escape, but That would be troublesome. Why not let me help you solve it?"

Xia De helped the princess of the southern country because he wanted the other party to completely believe that he was a "grey-headed eagle" and thus trust the information in the suitcase.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Xia De nodded without saying anything extra. He turned around to leave, but was stopped again. There was the sound of writing behind the screen, and then a note and a silver brooch with the Angevin royal emblem were handed out:

"Mr. Gray Eagle, I think you may be able to play a greater role in Tobesk. I also have my own manpower in Tobesk. Maybe you can go here and take a look."

Shad did not pick up the items from the maid:

"Your Highness, you should know that a person like me will not be won over by any party. I am only loyal to Gray Gloves itself."

The princess behind the screen seems to want to win over the ace agent "Grey Eagle", but the problem now is that "Grey Eagle" died this summer.

"But no one can hide from political disputes. Even you will be forced to take sides one day, right?"

Remembering the gentle laughter behind the screen, Shade still shook his head. He did not want to have anything to do with any agents from neighboring countries anymore.

But before he could refuse again, another maid with a first or second ring level also came out carrying a thick envelope.

"Since Professor Higgins died unfortunately, the reward for this mission will be given to you, 200 crowns. In addition, for the sake of our friendship, if you are willing to go to the address on the note, you can go there Get an extra 1,000 pounds as my personal sponsorship for your winter firewood expenses in Tobesk City. I know this is not enough money, but there are always opportunities for cooperation in the future, right? ”

According to the current exchange rate, 11 to 12 gold pounds can be exchanged for 1 crown. In other words, there are more than 2,000 pounds in that envelope alone.

Xia De is no longer allowed to refuse this envelope:

"She gave too much."

Xia De pretended to hesitate, took the brooch and the very reassuring envelope, and put them into his pocket together. Then he took a look at the note and burned it on the spot with a match:

"Please don't reveal what happened to me at Fort Midhill. I received a secret mission and it was known to the headquarters. I will also be punished."

"Of course, Mr. Gray Eagle. Thank you very much for your loyalty to the family."

The voice behind the screen praised softly. Shade said nothing more, but turned and walked out.

I spent 200 pounds to "bought" this suitcase, in exchange for Lesia's favor and a reward of 3,000 pounds. From the "waiting for the letter" task that the outsider received when he first came to this world to now, this long task chain that lasted for nearly four months has finally been completed.

Although the possible "Grey Eagle" and "Difference Engine" related events were later extended, at least this is profitable.

"Detective Sparrow is a really good guy."

He thought in his mind as he stepped out of the carriage, and missed the detective again:

"When the incident at Fort Midhill is over, maybe you can go to the cemetery to see the detective - may he sleep forever."

With "Raglai's Leap" and the [Hidden Body Mirror], it is easy for Shade to lure a group of ordinary people away so that everyone in Car No. 1 has time to hide.

I spent a whole morning near the station, and when I had lunch, I returned to Cassandra Auction House and met Granny Cassandra who was checking the accounts.

The old witch has many capable people around her, but she doesn't want to let herself be idle, so she occasionally checks the accounts or participates in the auction in person.

Seeing Sha De coming, he put down the account book in his hand, and the two left the study and returned to the reception room. Shade returned the secret-keeper-level relic [identity card of unknown name], talked about the earthquake of the past few days with the talkative old witch, and then asked pretending to be unintentional:

"Since there is a great witch among the royal family of Delarion, is there a great witch among the Angevin royal family of Carsenric?"

"Do you think of the Parliament as an organization that secretly controls the world from behind?"

Grandma Cassandra smiled and shook her head:

"No, at least there is no great witch among the direct members of the Anjou royal family. The most secularly powerful great witch in the contemporary parliament is Carina."

The identities of the great witches are the secret of the [Witch Council], and every member is obliged to keep it secret. Therefore, unless Shade is really likely to come into contact with those big witches, even Miss Carina will not reveal the identities of other witches to Shade.

"Did something happen to you?"

The old man who has lived for more than a hundred years easily found clues in Xia De's words.

Xia De hesitated and decided to tell the truth:

"I encountered an accident a few days ago. I heard from my friends that there are rumors of witches in Willendale, the capital of Carsonlik, and they are related to the royal family. Of course, they are just rumors without evidence. Just like in Jiali When Miss Lina first arrived in Tobesk this summer, I heard the rumors about the witch from a party.”
