Whispering Poems

Chapter 1364 Agents and Salaries

After Xia De finished meeting Miss Dennister, Rezia's breakfast was also ready.But it was probably to thank Dorothy, so she obviously made the breakfast, but during the meal, Miss Writer had already returned:

"Really, I already had breakfast, just 5 minutes ago. My soul tells me that I am full, but my body is still hungry."

Dorothy looked at the breakfast on the table with a sad face, and at the same time as Mia's eyes lit up, she said:

"However, since it was made by Rezia, I have to eat it no matter what. It's a big deal to walk a few more steps today to burn off all the calories."

So the cat obediently shrank back to Xia De's side and waited to be fed.

The temperature in the Randall Valley seems to have been lower than that in Tobesk.When Xia De asked this question to Miss Lassers, a local, she just said that this year's weather is special.

This Wednesday, the only thing Xia De had to do was to go to Miss Elf outside the city in the evening to get the "clean water of the elf".And this day, he planned to visit the old-time cemetery of the Granger family outside the city, but he had just arrived at the Wilde Opera House when he was called by Margaret, whom he hadn't seen for a week.

The princess of the southern kingdom didn't complain that Xia De didn't come to see her recently, because she was quite busy herself.This time I went to the Wilde Opera House, on the one hand, to explain the progress of my recent task with the Stonemasons Association to Miss Bernice, and on the other hand, to try my luck and see if I could meet Shade.

"The college has sent people to check the overseas silver mine you mentioned."

When the door of the study was pushed open, Margaret, who was looking out of the window, smiled and turned to him, then opened her arms and hugged him:
"Really, I've been so busy recently, and I don't have time to accompany you."

Xia De felt that this should be his own line.

"I know you are very busy. I just went to see Earl Granger yesterday. From him, I know how busy you are recently. Speaking of which, is the matter of the Stonemasons Association going well?"

"Fortunately, it's going according to plan, and it's not smooth or not."

She let go of Shad who was hugging her:
"Do you have time on Friday night? William and I held a banquet in the manor where we are temporarily staying, and hosted a banquet for the nobles who participated in the second shipyard in the southern part of the United Kingdom Navy. , It can be regarded as a rare time for William and I to come to the Randall Valley to win over the local nobles."

"Is it Friday?"

I'm going to see Miss Elf tonight, and I'm going to visit the Temple of the Dark Night for the second time tomorrow, but I'm fine on Friday:

"I'll be there."

Margaret smiled:
"So do you have time this afternoon? How about accompanying me to the Stonemasons Association? It's not a public visit, I contacted the president of the Stonemasons Association, and I will have a private meeting this afternoon. At that time, I will hand you over to me That, the original share document of the Stonemasons Association. I know you have your own business to do, but this meeting is very important. Very important."

"no problem."

Xia De agreed again. Anyway, there are no other important things today, and it is not very urgent to visit the cemetery:

"I'll go back to Tobesk to check the information at noon, and we'll see you in the afternoon. Speaking of which, I met Miss Sylvia in a special way on the weekend. She looks very good, and she also asked about your What about the matter?"

[How do I remember, she only asked a few words after being reminded by you? 】

"She" pointed out Shad's lie softly.

A smile appeared on Margaret's face:
"I knew that the teacher has always cared about me. However, if I pass Miss Benanis' test, I will have two teachers. Miss Sylvia will always be my teacher."

"Do you know her invention? I've seen the finished product."

"Oh, have you made it yet?"

Her Royal Highness has also heard about this incident. When she left Willendelle a month ago, Miss Sylvia did not come along because the experiment was at the final stage:
"It should be very beautiful. When I had afternoon tea with the teacher, she showed me what the finished product looked like with water and ice."

Xia De nodded:
"It's quite beautiful. After a while, Miss Sylvia should come to the Randall Valley, and you can take a look at it then."

Margaret kissed Shad's profile:

"I am looking forward."

Xia De said that he would go home at noon to check information, of course he would go to MI[-] to see if there was any new news about the Randall Valley recently.

He couldn't directly contact Director An Luosi, so he went to the municipal garbage disposal center where he was paid every month, and found Mr. Gilles Johnson who was in charge of communicating with him.

I don't know what Director An Luosi said to Mr. Johnson. When Shad expressed his desire to see the confidential documents, Mr. Johnson didn't even ask Shad the reason, but told him to wait.

So before lunch, Xia De got the document bag with the seal of "Top Secret·Second Class".He could only look at the file bag on the spot, not copy it, let alone take it outside, so Xia De went through it at the equipment maintenance department of the garbage disposal center on the spot.

He raised his eyebrows while watching:

"It really has something to do with us. This trip is not in vain. I haven't seen the director since Her Royal Highness Adelina's birthday party. What is our director doing recently? If it is confidential, Just don't tell me."

Xia De sat outside the iron table and said while looking at the documents, while Mr. Johnson inside the iron table was holding a teacup and reading the newspaper. His daily work is this:
"It's not a secret. After the spring, aren't we and Carsonrique planning to renegotiate on the new trade routes in the Pantanal area and the border issues in the disputed area? The director is doing preliminary preparations. We are the busiest ones in this kind of big event.”

Mr. Johnson, who was sipping tea and flipping through the newspaper and watching the tidbits, said:
"The two countries are still negotiating the specific negotiation location, and it will probably be in a certain border city. Recently, I don't see the director very often. He is probably on a business trip."

Then, he turned the newspaper to the next page:
"Members like you who work in the field for a long time, and employees like me who work hard in the office are the backbone of the Sixth Office. I just hope that I won't be transferred to a business trip at that time. I managed to feed those two pots of spider plants. "

Xia De looked at the table at the door. This room has no windows, but because of the layout of the steam pipes, the temperature is not low.Mr. Johnson must have worked hard to feed the two pots of spider plants in this season during his working hours.

"We always have to be worthy of our own salary. Speaking of which, we heard rumors years ago that our basic weekly salary will be raised? I thought this matter would be mentioned after the end of the honorary season. As a result, the salaries of civil servants have been raised. There is already news, and it is said that it will be announced next week, why is there no news about us?"

Xia De asked casually again, and Mr. Johnson shook his head slightly:

"I remember that you are now a lieutenant colonel? Your basic weekly salary is more than three times mine. Salary increases have never been easy, and the council has to discuss them, but don't worry, Director An Luosi is very concerned about the collective salary increase." This kind of thing has always been quite positive, and I bet that there is no department in the Kingdom whose salary increases are as fast as ours."

Looking at the six recent arrangements in the Randall Valley written on the document in his hand, Xia De couldn't help but smile:
"That's good, that's good, spring is coming soon, and I still want to add some nice clothes."

Mr. Johnson didn't move his hands, tilted his head, and looked at Shad from behind the newspaper:
"Knight, Miss Galina will let you have no good clothes to wear?"

This is not satirizing Xia De, but purely expressing his curiosity.

"Of course the Duke is very kind to me, but if you only rely on women to dress and eat, what kind of man is he?"

Xia De's attention was on the documents in his hand, so he just answered casually, and Mr. Johnson asked curiously:

"I thought... I didn't mean anything else, but Miss Galina is so rich, I thought your daily expenses were all"

"The duke wanted to give it to me, but I didn't want it."

Shad shook his head, and wrote down the contact information with the local spies in the Randall Valley:
"I asked her to take care of my affairs. If I have something, I will tell her directly. She should not talk too much, just go and help me."

"You really are."

Mr. Johnson showed an expression of admiration:

"sharp."

I don't know if it's because Shad mentioned the Randall Valley incident to Director Anlos last time, or MI[-] has actually been paying attention.In short, while Margaret was planning in Randall Valley, MI[-] was also conducting a series of operations in Randall Valley.

These top-secret plans should have been quietly lying in the archives, but Xia De went through them in detail during the boring discussion between two boring men about women and dignity.

The Sixth Division moved faster than Xia De thought, and had noticed that Princess Marguerite Anjou seemed to want to solve the matter of the Stonemasons Association. In fact, this was not difficult to detect.But anyway, Shad has some key clues that he believes should help Margaret.

It was already noon when we came out of the garbage disposal center.Because Mia was taken by Dorothy, Shad did not stay at Tobesk for lunch, but went to the Randall Valley and had lunch with the girls in the opera house.

It was not a serious banquet, but everyone had their own food box in the dressing room, and everyone ate while chatting.Miss Lathers and Miss Benanis were also there. This kind of lunch meeting existed before Miss Benanis officially took over the Golden Dawn.

Therefore, although the witch of the earth is not as good at fighting as Miss Aurora, nor as majestic as Granny Cassandra, nor as powerful as Miss Galina, her followers are the most loyal .
