Whispering Poems

Chapter 1665 Warning and Candidates

After confirming the situation in the conference room, Xia De gently opened the door, and a strong and firm man's voice came immediately, and the content of the speech was to protest against the harshness of the fifth article on the content of weapons.

Xia De walked in without meeting anyone's eyes, then turned around and closed the door gently.Then, he bent down and walked to the wall on Delarion's side, sat down on the empty chair, and nodded to the person looking at him next to him:
"Is the export control of McMannon's new steam cannon finished?"

This is one of the key points of today's negotiations, and no one knows about it except the core members of the negotiating delegation and the relevant personnel in Yodel Palace.

Although the middle-aged gentleman next to Xia De didn't know him, he still answered in a low voice:
"It's not going very well. I don't think there will be any results today. Regarding the caliber limit of the steam cannon, there has been no agreement. Are you"

Xia De shook his MI[-] ID, and then made a silent gesture.The latter nodded suddenly, although Xia De didn't know what he understood, but this was also what Xia De wanted to achieve.

So, Xia De sat in his seat from 10:30 to 11:30, during which time he got up and helped the servant who knocked on the door to open the door of the conference room, so that they could come in and pour tea and change water.When collectively protesting against Carson Rik, he also booed with others, and after Earl Sims of Delarion made a wonderful rebuttal, he and the people around him cheered excitedly. I raised my palm.

Negotiators sat around the table, and secretaries and advisors sat by the walls.Therefore, no one doubted Xia De's identity.When the agenda was temporarily over at 11:30 in the morning, the negotiators got up and left the table. Xia De and others moved closer to the table to clean up the papers on the table. He took the opportunity to look through the recorded content.

Of course it looked suspicious, but Xia De only glanced at each page, so although some people were puzzled, no one questioned what Xia De was doing.

After writing down hundreds of pages of documents, Xia De left the meeting room with the people.He returned to the bathroom, making sure that the unconscious man was about to wake up, and prepared to leave.

It's just that when he came out of the bathroom cubicle, he happened to see the two brothers Furren talking in front of the mirror by the sink.They're not in room 404, probably engaged in other agendas today.

Now that they happened to meet, Xia De also walked over, turned on the faucet beside Eric Furren, wet his palms, raised his hands to the mirror and straightened his hair:
"Any news?"

He asked abruptly, because he was looking at himself in the mirror, so the two brothers were a little surprised, not knowing who they were talking to.

So Xia De reminded:
"The Ivy Club in Green Lake City, you promised to help me find clues to the pattern of the sun, moon and stars."

When he said this, the two brothers understood.Wearing glasses in the right eye is the elder brother of the twins, Mr. Eric Furlan. He is dressed very similar to Shade, with white shirts, dark ties and black suits:
"It turned out to be you. Sorry, the old servant at home helped us find grandfather's relics, but there is no news of that pattern."

Xia De nodded regretfully, still looking at the mirror and arranging his hair:
"Have you been to Green Lake Center Island lately?"

Both brothers shook their heads, so Xia De reminded:
"You guys have been keeping a low profile recently, the thirteenth ring 'Mirror Hidden Man' of the [Mirror Association] is here."

"What? Oh, sorry."

Charles noticed that his voice was a little louder, but fortunately there was no one else in the bathroom for the time being.Shade's [Heart of Stone] can only hear the heartbeat of the man he made unconscious in the compartment:
"Among the four Edwards brothers who left that island, two of you are the grandsons of the second son Edward. The Mirror Association has a pair of twin brothers with eight rings, and there is a high probability that they are the grandsons or grandsons of the eldest son Hohenheim. I was on the island with They have met face to face, and they can only say that Cangjingren really lives up to his reputation."

Hearing what he said, the Fulun brothers both showed expressions of awe, obviously because the mysterious man around them retreated unscathed after fighting with the thirteen-ring warlock, and they felt that the other party was more mysterious than they thought.

"Thank you for your reminder, we will pay attention. In fact, we have no plans to go to the island, at least not yet."

Eric said, Shad nodded to the mirror, took out the ivory comb from his pocket and continued to comb his hair.He could not quite remember which girl had left the comb in his house.

[Rezia Cavendish's. 】

"Also, I would like to know if you have other reasons besides official arrangements for coming to this place at this time?"

Xia De continued to ask, the two brothers looked at each other and nodded slowly:

"Yes, because of a prophecy that often occurs in dreams."

"I don't need to go into details. I know the prophecy. So it is true."

He told the brothers all about the family tree, focusing on the fifth and sixth generations:
"The six members of the sixth generation, you and the twins of the Mirror Association are ring magicians, and the other two are ordinary people. From the current perspective of the fifth generation, only the children of the third son of the fourth generation, Alphonse, are still alive. I know the latter, are you interested in meeting her or him? That should be your aunt or uncle."

He took the initiative to ask, and Charles looked at his brother and asked him to make up his mind.Eric was a little moved, but didn't immediately agree:

"It's good to be able to meet the elders, but we want to think about it again. After all, the family reunion is the content of that weird prophecy, and we don't know what will happen when we actually meet."

"Yes, there is one more thing. I found out the identity of your ancestor, the first-generation lord of Green Lake, Klein Edwards."

Since the beginning of the conversation, Xia De turned his gaze from himself in the mirror to the two brothers for the first time.He shook the ivory comb in his hand:

"The identity of the other party is very unexpected, so this information cannot be provided to you for nothing."

"What do you need?"

Charles, who was wearing a monocle in his left eye, asked, and Xia De raised the corner of his mouth:
"Help me collect the confidential documents of the negotiation meeting."

"This"

Although their ancestors were the nobles of Delarion, the two brothers were born in Carson Rico and grew up in Willendale. They are not outsiders like Shad who have no hometown. It is not easy for them to betray.

"Your ancestors are the thirteen rings."

Xia De said calmly, so his brother Eric Furren immediately changed his words:
"No problem, we will collect it for you. But we also hope that you can provide us with protection when the time is right."

"of course can."

Xia De smiled and put the comb into his pocket:
"Your ancestor's full name is Laplace Klein Howard. He was the twelve-ring fortune teller who betrayed the Prophet Association more than 200 years ago."

He patted his chest:

"I have a dice that can interfere with fate, so I dare to say his full name casually. Be careful yourself. I can't be sure whether your ancestor is dead. If he is not dead, we'd better not say it casually." His full name. After all, that is the Seer of the Thirteen Rings."

"Sir, are you sure?"

Charles Furren asked in a panic, Shad nodded:

"Not only can I investigate this, but the church and the Prophet Association will soon find out. The church will probably intervene in Edwards' affairs, and will soon be able to find out about the two of you through your grandfather. After all, all Among the descendants of Edwards, you are the easiest to find through official channels. It may only take a few days, or it may take a few weeks. Think carefully about how to deal with the church."

Xia De refers to the identity of the two ring warlocks, they are obviously not members of the church.

The faces of the two brothers were a little bad, and Xia De was about to say goodbye:

"Don't worry too much, the church won't do anything to you. If you want to continue working with me, collect the confidential meeting documents and give them to me next time I come to you."

Although Xia De didn't know when he would come next time, it was probably because Rezia asked him to help gather information again.

"If you don't want to cooperate with me, you can tell the church about me so that they can probably guess who I am."

The two brothers hurriedly shook their heads:

"Sir, of course the cooperation can continue, and the documents are fine."

After all, reporting Xia De is not good for them, and it is impossible to get them out of a dangerous situation because of this.

"Well, happy cooperation, see you next time. Don't be so pessimistic, maybe the church can't find you? As long as you don't take the initiative to reveal your identity and don't take the initiative to go to that island, there is actually not much danger. As for that The prophecy of the bloodline is a major event for the entire family, and it's not just the two of you involved."

After speaking, Xia De left from the bathroom.He has a good impression of the Fulun brothers, and the two brothers don't seem to be the kind of people who can give up everything to chase after power.If they could, it would be to everyone's benefit to distance themselves from the Chosen One, from Edwards' secret.

[So, do you have any guesses about the candidates for the space? 】

When Xia De was about to throw the glass slipper, "she" suddenly asked in Xia De's ear.

Xia De looked at the crystal clear shoes in his hand and shook his head:
"During the divination of Dorothy and Rezia, I accidentally learned that there is a process of 'multiple individuals merging into one' in this ceremony of the chosen one, that is, the chosen one has the characteristics of 'many in one'. So this It’s really hard to say how many times. However, it must have something to do with Edwards.”

Speaking of this, he remembered that after the Battle of the Pantanal last winter, when he and Sister Devlin returned to the Great Swamp to liberate the soul of the "Swamp Witch". It is said that he is a "twin in one" (note).

Although Xia De didn't understand what this specifically meant, it also meant that he seemed to meet the requirements of the chosen one.

【You, don't you really understand? 】

"She" asked softly, and Xia De felt like someone was hugging him from behind, and the person who was holding him whispered softly in his ear.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his ear, but he didn't touch anything.

"not understand."

As he spoke, the shoes in his hand were thrown out.Before the crystal slipper fell to the ground, although the blurred shadow of the man was always reflected on the smooth floor, the expression on the face of the stranger could not be reflected.
