Whispering Poems

Chapter 1664 Infiltrate
Mr. Green put down the pen in his hand, and looked up and down at Shad outside the counter, unable to believe this fact:
"It's amazing, that lady, you usually don't pretend to talk to men. It seems that you really have something special. Yes, there is a way to contact her. She is our regular customer. If you have anything to do with her, you can leave her a message. A letter. This lady will send someone to deliver a letter every day to tell you the progress of what key she is looking for, and then you can ask the messenger to send your letter back."

Both he and his older sister, Lady Helena Green, treat Meghan with respect.The information revealed at this time shows that their relationship with Megan is even closer than Xia De thought.

[Didn't you already start guessing that they are the remaining two ordinary people of the sixth generation, the grandchildren of the youngest daughter of the third generation, Maria Edwards? 】

"She" murmured softly, while Xia De nodded:
"Okay, I'll write now."

Xia De borrowed a pen and paper, and in the letter mentioned the water ghost, the tomb robber and the bad-eyed Barry.Since Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals has a lot of influence in the local area, it is natural to borrow the power of the witch's followers to find out clues.

As for the owner of the pen, the unknown mysterious figure Durut Giles, Shad still needs to find out from another way.

In fact, the process of knowing the identity of Durut Gilles was far simpler than Shad thought.That was the next day, Saturday morning.Xia De originally didn't plan to come to the Green Lake area again today, after all, there was an important "spoil sharing meeting" in the afternoon.

But Leiziya sent a letter early in the morning, hoping that Xia De would go to Mikaela Blast Furnace City to confirm some of the content of today's negotiations, so Xia De entered the basement after breakfast.

After coming out of the back door of the hotel, he gave a few pieces of bread to the boy in the trash can as usual.Then he left the garbage alley, thinking about asking the hotel owner if Megan's messenger had arrived before leaving.

But the witch's messenger hadn't arrived yet, but another letter was delivered instead:
"Mr. Watson, you just happened to be here. This is a letter from Mikaela Blast Furnace City. I was just thinking about whether to keep it on the counter or send it directly to your room."

Ms. Helena Green smiled and said to Shad who came down from the stairs - after talking with Mr. Soren Green last night, Shad pretended to go back to the room to rest.

"Mikaela Blast City?"

Xia De has only one acquaintance there for the time being, and when he opened the letter, it turned out to be from Professor Boulanger.The professor of geology and folklore promised to help Xia De find the owner of the pen in Willendale City on Thursday in the fishing village tavern, but Xia De did not expect the result so soon.

In two days, the letter might not be able to reach the capital from the City of Glass.

He sat down at the table to unfold the letter, and the professor made some civilities before speaking of Durutt-Giles:
[I asked my local colleagues about the name and learned that Durut Giles had been here three years ago.He is a Lecturer in History at St. Fabry College, Willendale.I've written to Willendale to find out if he's still teaching at St. Fabry's, and I'll probably have a result next week. 】

"A lecturer in history?"

History and folklore in this world are both quite "dangerous" subjects.

Professor Boulanger was still at the back of the letter, thanking Shad for introducing him to Captain Lades.With professional bodyguards, their activities in De La Rion on the north shore of Green Lake were much smoother than before.

The professor has been conducting research and inspections in Green Lake City recently. If he is lucky, Xia De may even bump into the professor and his party.

The relevant clues about Durut Giles will come to an abrupt end here, and the rest will depend on Professor Boulanger's investigation.Of course, Xia De did not put all his hopes on the professor.He also planned to ask the duchess, who has been very busy recently, to entrust Miss Sylvia in the parliament tomorrow to conduct an investigation together in the city of Willendale.Although Margaret's influence may not be able to penetrate deep into the academic circle like Professor Boulanger's, at least it is very convenient to find people on a large scale.

Because he had to go back to the meeting in the afternoon, Xia De didn't waste too much time in Green Lake City.After getting in the carriage, we went straight to the border checkpoint.There was also a small episode when crossing the border. At that time, Xia De had just said goodbye to the coachman and showed the soldiers in the border camp the special pass given to him by Captain Ladds.

The soldiers immediately led Xia De to the exit where there was no need to queue up for registration, and then they heard someone complaining loudly:
"Why can he not line up?"

Xia De turned around and looked at the line that was queuing up. The person who spoke was a young man who seemed to be about the same age as the foreigner. He stared at Xia De with wide eyes:

"Everyone is a citizen of Delarion, it's not fair!"

"This"

Just as Xia De was about to speak, the soldier who showed him the way said:
"Sir, please ignore him. Just now he saw many noble carriages passing directly across the border, so he didn't dare to say anything. He didn't dare to speak when he saw that you didn't look like a rich and powerful nobleman, and you didn't have any companions around you."

After the bearded soldier finished speaking, other patrol soldiers who heard the voice came over to deal with the matter.Two of them directly dragged the young man who spoke out of the team, and then dragged them to the other side of the camp.

During this time, no one else in the queue said anything.Xia De just watched this scene, and then left with the soldiers.

From the border checkpoint to Mikaela Blast City, it is still a carriage of seven or eight people.It was almost ten o'clock in the morning when Xia De arrived in the urban area of ​​the City of Glass.

When entering the city, I also encountered a parade passing by.Probably because Xia De looked like a Delarion, so when he stood still and watched the team pass by, someone actually waved his fist at him from a distance.

Of course, Xia De will not be angry because of this, he regards this as a symbol of the carriage of history slowly approaching.As for the outcome of this matter, he actually didn't care at all.A foreigner does not have a strong sense of belonging to any country, he just hopes that even if there is a fight, it will not be too big.

The negotiating venue of the City of Glass is also the city hall, but unlike Green Lake City, the city hall of Mikaela Blast Furnace City, which has a more prosperous economy, has a more magnificent appearance.In fact, it can even be said that it is a bit too grand here. On the square in front of the city hall, there stands a pure glass statue of King Louis III-this is the first king who unified the southern domain and established the United Kingdom.And behind the statue protected by the display cabinet, the upper end of the thirteen steps is the porch of the city hall supported by marble columns, and the area there is even enough to park two carriages side by side.

The main body of the city hall is divided into five floors. On the uppermost floor in the center of the building, there is a steeple-style attic with the same tower structure to store the copper bell.The building as a whole is grand and luxurious, more like an opera house or a bank than a city hall.And this shape is also a good illustration of how developed the industry and commerce of the City of Glass is.

After all, only enough taxes and fees can support a government department building of this size.

The building of the city hall occupies a large area, but it also assumes more functions.During the meeting, only a small part of the city hall of the City of Glass was closed, and other parts were open for business.

Xia De didn't have time to wait until the meeting ended at noon before looking for clues, so after looking at the buildings in the square, he turned and walked to the side alley.

He didn't have the architectural drawings of the city hall, but fortunately MI[-] had them. When Shade was looking for local information, he got these materials from Miss Galina.

Getting into it undetected is not difficult, and a variety of methods including sewers can be used.In the end, Xia De chose to go from the back door of the backyard of the city hall, lying on the bottom of the carriage, and entered the yard with the carriage.Then lower the brim of the hat to enter the interior of the building, and go directly from the first floor to the fourth floor through the stairs that are not often used on the side.

When approaching the fourth floor, I felt the elemental reaction of the ring warlock, which means that the church sent people here to protect the safety of the participants.But this couldn't help Xia De, he closed his eyes to sense the heartbeat, and knew that the unknown ring warlock was sitting on a chair next to the wall in the corridor on the side of the stairs, so he changed into the clothes for formal occasions, and waited patiently for ten years. A few minutes later, when someone came upstairs again, Xia De pretended to be very familiar, and waved enthusiastically:
"Good afternoon, why are you here?"

While the other party showed a puzzled expression, Xia De patted the other party's shoulder:

"Puppetry."

The thaumaturgy took effect immediately, and the stranger was completely controlled by Shad.Xia De apologized softly to him, and then entered the corridor on the fourth floor where many meetings were held while talking with him.

The two walked along the corridor to the bathroom at the end. Shade let the man manipulated by him sleep for a while, then faced the mirror in the bathroom, adjusted his attire, and walked out normally:
"It's easy. Rezia let me see the results of today's negotiations on arms export trade in room 404."

He wore shiny leather shoes, a crisp suit and black tie.He held a notebook with a black leather cover in his hand and a gold pen stuck in his chest, so even if there were other people in the corridor, no one suspected his identity.

He looked at the house number and came to the door of the meeting room. The door of the meeting room was closed, because the sound insulation effect was very good, even Shad couldn't hear what was being said inside.But after closing his eyes, he was pretty sure there was no janitor inside the door.According to the arrangement of the heartbeat, about a dozen people sat on both sides of the long table, and one person stood up and probably spoke. In addition, there were more than 20 people sitting by the wall.
