Her Royal Highness recognized that such a beautiful cat almost immediately, and she thought that no one would be able to mistake this cat. And the appearance of this cat means that...
A young man in a black coat, holding his black top hat, joins others around him in saluting the successors of the United Kingdom. Although the face looks a little different, whether it is height, expression or Mia, it no longer proves who it is:
"Welcome to Randall Valley!"
Xia De in the crowd shouted to Her Royal Highness. Although the voice was quickly drowned in the noisy background, Margaret still heard it completely.
She looked away and waved to the crowd with a formulaic smile trained on the royal family. However, no one knows the joy in my heart. Her Royal Highness knows that her short visit to the Randall Valley will probably be more interesting than imagined:
"What's more interesting is... Teacher Sylvia, she's not by my side right now."
Although he really wanted to meet Margaret right away, Xia De also knew that she came to this place with a mission on her shoulders, and this visit wasn't just about her. Therefore, although he saw Margaret at the train station on Friday morning, Shad did not go to her alone.
After all, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and Margaret doesn't have time to spend with Xia De for a long time.
Today's most critical task is to meet the local great witch, Miss Benanis, in the afternoon. Xia De had already envisioned many possibilities before that time, but for safety, he asked Luvia to do a divination for him at noon that day, when he was having lunch with Luvia.
The purple-eyed girl has a lot of work to do locally. While the Prophet Association is in contact with the local secret order that has the Book of Ascension, she also shoulders the task of observing the local astrology given by the Astronomy Academy, and the Prophet Association asked her to Come and handle the paperwork locally.
Even if she finds time to eat with Xia De at noon, she must return to the association as soon as possible. Hearing Xia De's request at this time, she shook her head slightly:
"You are someone outside of fate. Most of the results obtained from divination for you are completely unreliable, otherwise the church would have found you long ago. Xia De, don't use divination as a tool to peep into the future, we must respect fate."
In fact, what she meant was, don't come to divination for every little thing. In Luvia's view, there is no possibility of failure in the communication between Xia De and the witch.
Seeing what Xia De wanted to say, Luvia, who was manipulating the knife and fork, asked again:
"Why did you bring Mia here?"
"Meow?"
The well-behaved cat looked up at Luvia when it heard someone mention its name.
"Dorothy, with the editor of Steambird's Daily and her lawyer, is going to the publisher this day to talk about royalties and can't take care of it for me."
Xia De patted the soft cat:
"You're not in Tobesk, so I can't entrust it to you. Miss Galina and Tifa are still in Saladir County. Although there are maids in the manor, there are no acquaintances to take care of them. I am worried after all, so I just brought it here. After all, I was only meeting with the witch today, no matter how much she hates me, she won’t do anything to Little Miya, it will only increase my chances of winning.”
Luvia smiled:
"You still meet at the Wilde Opera House? I heard from the association that there have been some minor problems in the opera house in the city recently."
"what is the problem?"
At this moment, Xia De remembered that Miss Aurora also mentioned yesterday that the witch in Randall Valley City was tracking down a relic of a sage related to the Opera House.
"Someone was turned into a puppet. I don't know the specifics, but it is said to be related to uncontained relics."
Luvia shrugged:
"Keeper-level relics [The Clown Emperor's Magic Handkerchief] or infectious-disease-level relics [Puppet Syndrome], who knows? This matter is resolved by the local Creation Church, but it is said that it may be a sage level. Oh, my dear Mr. Detective, every city has every city's problems, and we obviously can't solve every problem."
After lunch, Luvia bid farewell to Xia De and returned to the Prophet Association. There was still some time before three o'clock in the afternoon. Shade originally wanted to pay a visit. Priest Augustus mentioned during the exam week that he bet on the old priest who owed 10 pence, but Mia was too sleepy at this time Shade was also worried that the priest would not be found in a short time, so he returned to the Church of the Forgotten and went home to take a nap.
When he returned to Randall Valley at 2:30, Shad still had the cat with him. At this time, a layer of white mist of unknown origin was rising in the city, and the cat was wearing a [Transformation Ring] and a [Fish Training Ring] on its cat tail, which was a reward for being so obedient today.
The distance from Cherry Leaf Avenue to the Wilde Opera House was not far, Shade counted the time, and it was 2:50 when he got off the carriage at the entrance of the Opera House.
Of course, pets are not allowed in the opera house, but after Xia De showed the ticket for the box, no one stopped him. And when Shade followed the waiter of the opera house to the stairs, he didn't feel the heat on the badge on his chest, which meant that Miss Bernice hadn't come yet.
"Speaking of which, since His Royal Highness and Princess are visiting this city, will they watch an opera in this opera house?"
"Sir, you are not from Carson Rik at first glance. In fact, every time a member of the royal family of this country visits this city, they will watch the performance of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe at our opera house. Although I don't know the specific time, But the opera house has already started to arrange security work. Did you know that Ms. Benanis of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe is planning to buy our opera house recently, which is really a great honor.”
After entering the box with Mia in his arms, it was the last waiting time. Xia De kept thinking in his mind what he should say when he saw the witch, and when would be a better time to send that harmonica out. He even thought about offering his wrist to Miss Benanis to hold. Witches always like this.
As for Mia, this cat is quite lazily napping on Shad's lap, and three o'clock in the afternoon is its usual nap time.
In fact, there were not many guests in the opera house in the afternoon show. At three o'clock, as the high-spirited opening soprano sounded from below, Xia De knew that the time had come.
"Why haven't you come yet, I'm in trouble... I remember the time correctly, right?"
[I remember correctly. 】
He got up and paced suspiciously, while Miya was left on the sofa. The cat opened one eye, saw that Shad was still there, wagged its tail, squirmed into a more comfortable position and went back to sleep.
"Is it because I refused to meet immediately yesterday, so that witch girl got angry and came late on purpose today?"
He thought about it in his heart, but felt that the other party should not be so naive. So I used thaumaturgy to confirm the time again, and determined that it was already past three o'clock.
"Strange......"
In the meeting of the magicians of the strange ring, once someone misses the meeting time, the other party will usually leave immediately, because this often means unpredictable danger. But this meeting is not a meeting of complete strangers, and if Miss Benanis, who is not good at fighting at the eleventh level, really encounters any trouble, even if Shade can't solve it, she must find a way to figure out the situation.
"Hopefully it's just late."
He waited for another five minutes, but the badge on his chest did not respond for a long time. Knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, he turned around and picked up Miya to check the situation outside.
At this time, there was a very slight knock on the door. But Xia De had been standing at the door just now, and he was sure that there were absolutely no footsteps outside:
"What's the situation?"
He vaguely sensed that he might be involved in some trouble.
"Mia, lie down here and wait for me obediently, don't wander around."
After exhorting the cat, Xia De took off the [fish training ring] from its tail and put it on his finger. Draws out the scarlet "Moonlight Greatsword" in the form of a dagger, and holds it behind his back with his left hand. Xia De leaned against the door to feel it, and after confirming that there was no elemental reaction, he gently pushed the door open.
The curtains on the other side of the corridor opposite the door were pulled up to cover the window at some point. Those scarlet velvet curtains completely blocked the sunlight in the foggy city, and the whole corridor looked gloomy. Not only is it gloomy, everything feels normal indoors, but when you open the door, you immediately notice the whispering element.
"It was really a surprise."
Xia De remembered very clearly that on the wall between the two window sills opposite his own door, there was originally an oil painting of an old man in a white robe sowing seeds to the earth, but now it turned into two hands. Portrait of a dame-like puppet rigged together.
The portrait is extremely realistic, even showing the wooden texture on the puppet, as well as some material splitting and uneven color patches of paint.
Looking up again, a marionette was floating in mid-air. The limbs and the head are connected with five thin wires, and the thin wires are connected to the inner cross disk floating above. This is a standard string puppet used in puppet shows. The workmanship of the puppets is extremely fine, not only the joints of the limbs can move freely, but also the details of the hair and clothes are extremely real.
The dress is a very common maid dress, and the puppet's face shape has also been carefully designed. Even a layman like Xia De can easily see that this is definitely not a mass product produced by a mold.
The puppet "squeezed" the letter ~www.mtlnovel.com~ while Xia De bowed his head, and handed it to him.
"Is this letter for me?"
He asked hesitantly, reached out to take the letter, and then saw the brown wooden inner cross disk floating above the puppet shaking slightly, as if being manipulated by an invisible hand. The thin wires controlled the movements of the limbs, and the puppet wobbled away under the control.
Xia De looked at it, watched it go to the door of the next room, and then "walked" in through the crack of the door.
