Whispering Poems

Chapter 1583 Rezia's Mission
Exploring new areas requires some extra preparations to prevent them from appearing in very dangerous places. Shad cannot hope that every exit of the "space labyrinth" can be as convenient as the "Forgotten Church".

After simply packing up, the time has come to 09:30.Xia De was about to bid farewell to Mia and set off when there was a knock on the door downstairs.

After opening the door, I was surprised to see that the person standing at the door was Leiziya, but Her Royal Highness did not go upstairs:

"Are you going to the Green Lake area now?"

Considering that going to a strange city would consume a lot of time, so that they would not be at home for most of the day, Shade, Rezia, Dorothy, and Galina all talked about their exploration plans, so that they don't have to worry.

"Yes, if you were five minutes late, I might have left. What's the matter, Rezia?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess stood in the hall, signaling the maid outside the door to close the door first.However, the carriage did not leave immediately, but stopped directly outside the door.Given Shad's career as a detective, it would not have been suspicious.

"Since you're going to the Green Lake area, I want you to do me a favor."

Those beautiful eyes looked at Xia De, which was hard for Xia De to refuse.

"of course, I."

"Don't rush to agree, this is not a simple matter, it will probably take a lot of your time and energy."

Rezia said, seeing her serious expression, Xia De also listened seriously.

"I also told you some time ago that when I went to the Green Lake area, I was definitely not the person in charge of negotiating with De La Rion. However, my father arranged another task for me, and asked me to be in charge of a part of the negotiating delegation with the Green Lake area. The communication work. Sort out the information sent over there and then inform my father, this belongs to the clerical work of the intelligence department.”

"Is the delegation sure to be led by Galina?"

Xia De asked again, and Rezia nodded:

"Yes, but she will not leave immediately, but will go after the negotiation has made substantial progress. At the same time, Kasenlik will send someone to Tobesk to connect with the follow-up matters of the negotiation. And I hope you , Shad, can pass on the progress of the negotiations in the Green Lake area to me at any time. Newspapers can rely on steam pipe signals to transmit news, so we can receive news of the earthquake in Fort Midhill the next day, but the negotiation information needs It takes at least three days to send the full text from the border. And you can bring the full text back on the same day.”

Xia De nodded. He understood what Rezia meant, that is, relying on the time difference, let her grasp the information of the negotiation in advance.And the time difference in this part is enough for the princess to do many things.

"As long as it can help you, I don't mind going to trouble. But who do I go to for information? Or, how do I get information?"

Xia De asked, and Rezia shook her head apologetically:

"The first batch of delegations are all my father's confidantes. Without my people, my people will not be able to participate at least two weeks later, so..."

"So, it's the turn of the top agent of MI[-], and the top spy of the gray gloves."

Xia De smiled and said:

"I will try my best to help you, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to get the information you need."

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to help me."

Rezia gave Shad a hug, then raised her eyes to look at him:
"I know you are busy with more important things, I hope this matter will not affect your impression of me."

This kind of weak tone is very similar to Dorothy.

"It doesn't matter. After all, I also wanted to investigate the negotiation. This is a major event that affects the stability of the world and the progress of civilization."

Xia De said with a smile, but Rezia could tell that there was no smile in his eyes:
"The two human kingdoms of the Old Continent have been at peace for a long time, and now they are in dispute again because of the border line and the vital trade routes. In the age of steam waves, resources and markets have given birth to more ambitions for the country, while developing and balancing the internal The contradictory needs have given rise to more ideas among careerists. Rezia, do you think this negotiation is just a simple negotiation?"

"of course not."

The red-haired girl immediately shook her head:
"The principalities under the kingdom are eager to start the war again, so that they can get rid of the control of the big powers; the ambitious people who hope to promote their titles or gain military merits hope to gain more opportunities through war; The mainland war broke out, allowing them to establish another country in the New World. Even the father and the "Lion Lion" in the southern country must have had the idea of ​​using a border war to temporarily ease the internal conflicts in the kingdom."

"So, civilization is once again facing a juncture at this moment. Although I don't want to get involved in politics, I have to make sure I know what's going to happen."

"You want to prevent a possible war?"

Rezia asked, and was surprised to see Xia De shaking his head:

"War is also a part of civilization. If there is no war, how did Delarion and Carsonrick unify the northern and southern domains? The days of peace are too long, and it would be a good thing if some conflicts can break out. I don't judge whether There should be a war, I just want it to end with the least possible cost."

After all, the coming doomsday is the sharp sword hanging over his head. If the secular kingdom can always be peaceful and stable, that is what Xia De hopes for.

Shad assured Rezia:
"I will try my best to get information about the negotiations, you wait for my news."

"You have to be careful yourself. After all, the Green Lake area is a border area, which is much more chaotic than Tobesk."

She tiptoed slightly and kissed Xia De, then looked up at him again:
"You smell like Luvia almost all over your body."

"Well, is your sense of smell always this keen?"

Xia De said in embarrassment, but Her Royal Highness put a finger on Xia De's mouth, so that he didn't have to say anything:
"I can't be with you all the time, and that's fine. But I haven't had a date with you since last week's showdown. It was... a very pleasant night, knight. Would you like to go this weekend?"

She whispered a few words in Xia De's ear, and then waved goodbye with a blushing face.Xia De raised his eyebrows and sent Leiziya to the carriage outside the door. While thinking about the weekend date, he was preparing to officially start a new adventure.

In the basement of his home, Xia De bid farewell to Miya who was standing above the steps, and then entered the hidden wall.Stretching out his hand to touch the statue of the ancient god, as the incantation was read, the surrounding white fog quickly rushed in, and he entered the fog.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the 'space maze'. 】

[Message from the ancient god "Primary Rift":]

[Existing space road signs: 7. 】

"Santa Teresa Square, under the sea cliff of Lengshuigang, the old tower of Mount Xical, the vineyards of the White River Valley, the lighthouse of Pantanal Lake Island, the Church of the Forgotten, and the Temple of the Night."

Xia De looked at the seven worn-out road signs on the path in the white mist, sighed softly, took out the flint and rubbed it against the stone in his left hand, and with the sparks flickering, luck had come to him.

The one-time extraordinary characteristic of flint and steel disappeared, and Xia De held up the white stone crystal in the mist:
"Sacrifice to the space labyrinth."

The stone turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared in Xia De's hands. At the same time, "she" reminded:

[New information obtained: you can search for new space landmarks.Please select a direction. 】

"southeast"

As the voice fell, the path in the dense fog extended a distance further into the distance. In the new area of ​​the path, dilapidated road signs that seemed to have been destroyed by time for a hundred years appeared little by little.

Xia De walked over and pressed his hand on the rotten wood.

[The original crack will guide you. 】

The surrounding white mist slowly dispersed, like a curtain moving to the sides, which was a sign of leaving the space created by these ancient gods.

Xia De cautiously looked around at the increasingly clear surroundings. When his sight touched the statue of the ancient god in the darkness, the statue emitted a soft light, illuminating the new dark circular space.

"Oh?"

Originally, I expected to be able to find clues directly related to the puzzles in this area like in the Church of the Forgotten.But it's a pity that this time, there is nothing in this circular space except for the glowing statue.

There were no boxes of wills and treasures, no bones, no parchments left, not even dust.Of course, there shouldn't be dust here.

"Then go out and have a look."

Shad didn't bring the [Night Watchman], but the [Yuktra Hill Key] was around his neck, hanging together like the "Witch Detection Badge".After the hidden wall disappeared, the outside of the passage was indeed dull black.It's just that due to the particularity of this place, no smell can invade.

So Shad stepped out of the wall, and immediately frowned.Unlike the rotten or even rotten smell that he would smell every time before, this time he smelled the smell of grain, which indicated that this place was being used and had an owner.

"Is it similar to White River Valley Vineyards?"

Close your eyes and listen in the dark, there is no heartbeat around you, but there are continuous "ripples" of heartbeats above your head.This means that there are quite a few people above:

"The good news is that I probably don't have to climb mountains, swim, or explore the wilderness, but the bad news is that this is most likely a downtown area."

After confirming that no one entered the confined space for the time being, Xia De lit up the light of his finger.The silver moonlight illuminated the surroundings, and when Xia De saw the wine barrels, water tanks, noodle bags, and shelves for bread, fresh fruits and vegetables in the corner, he confirmed that this was the basement of a restaurant, hotel, or tavern.

"It seems that this is really an urban area."

Seeing some newspapers under the basket containing the bread to prevent moisture, Xia De walked over to take a look at the contents of the newspapers.First, it was confirmed that it was Delarione, and then it was confirmed that the half-covered news headline was "Winter Ice Fishing in Green Lake".
