"You are in a good mood, what does it have to do with Margaret?"
Xia De still didn't understand, so the flaxen-haired girl said with a little embarrassment:
"In the past, I was always not confident. After all, among all the great witch apprentices, I was the one who started the latest and the one with the worst talent. But now, Marguerite Anjou appeared..."
She didn't continue to speak, so as not to insult Her Royal Highness, then she tiptoed and kissed Xia De:
"I can't help you directly like other ladies. I can only do some logistical work in the city. Before I set off, my mother-in-law told me that as long as you need, you can take anything from the local auction house. Shade, I wish you action smoothly."
Saying that, with his hands behind his back, he said goodbye to Xia De in a good mood, and walked downstairs.
Xia De felt that he might never understand the thoughts of young girls.
After lunch, Margaret hurried to the manor and was disappointed to miss the "lunch meeting" of the witches. However, she also spoke with Shad alone.
Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be in a good mood today, and was not affected by being petrified a few days ago.
She also gave Shad something, but instead of gems, it was an invitation:
"Remember what I said? I needed a banquet and invited most of the city's nobles and notables to a banquet where there was a public reconciliation with the Stonemasons' Guild."
"The time is... tomorrow, Thursday night?" Xia De asked with some hesitation:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, Stone Oxenfurt's business has just started to be investigated, and it will take time to realize it? What about the compensation from the Stonemasons Association?"
"Plans never keep up with changes."
Margaret shook her head, and threw the newspaper on the coffee table in the study:
"William and I went to Mason Street in the old city to reconcile with the Mason Association, so the incident of being attacked by cultists has become the front page news of the entire kingdom in recent days.
Now the entire kingdom is praising and caring about us. I want to take advantage of this situation to complete the negotiations with the Stonemasons Association in one go, even if it is only a preliminary agreement. While that would get credit for my older brother, I get more. Besides, because of his business with Oxenfurt, he still has a lot of trouble when he returns to Willendale. "You are forcing the Stonemasons Association to agree to peace talks with you?"
"No, no, I don't use the word persecution. It should be said...following the trend? After all, I won't put forward any strict conditions. In terms of compensation, my bottom line is very high. "
She gestured a number at Xia De:
"But the compensation has never been the key point. My father does not agree to make a public apology, and he insists on letting the masonry association repair the mausoleum that has not been repaired so far. Therefore, there are still some important things to discuss at the banquet. However, I am confident that this matter will be resolved. Otherwise, how can I become a witch's apprentice."
She smiled and winked at Xia De:
"Sorry, I know you've been very busy recently, and the busy things are far more important than my little things. But on Thursday night, can you spare time..."
"No problem, I don't do my work until Friday. It's also good to go to the banquet to relax before starting the big things."
Shad asked again:
"Is there anyone else attending?"
"Except for Miss Galina, who is unable to show up, I have sent invitations to everyone else, and I am still waiting for a reply."
"Then we'll see you at the banquet. I hope everything goes well." Xia De put away the invitation, and Margaret asked again:
"If the final peace talks don't go well by then, I might take out a gold mine as a bargaining chip. The one you and Miss Berenice found when they went to the Temple of the Night."
"But, we didn't find it at all... It doesn't matter, you can use it as a bargaining chip."
Shad said.
"I won't forget your share."
"Mr. Sylvia and Mr. Benanis are downstairs now... Knight, do you want to try something exciting?"
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Xia De a chance to answer at all, and directly kissed him passionately.
This Wednesday, Xia De is not without things to do. Before the decisive battle begins, he only has one last thing to confirm, which is what he got from the demon scholar Mr. Sean Asmond last night. Rumors of the sealed location.
He himself is skeptical about this clue, but since he has time and has no more important things in his hands, it's actually okay to take a look.
Because everyone has their own affairs, Xia De didn't invite anyone, but went alone. It's just that Margaret "delayed" some time, so it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we set off from the city.
The location given by Mr. Asmond is outside the city, not in the mountains to the east of the city, but in the west of the city, far from the valley of the lower reaches of the Elrond.
In fact, it is not far from the city. After reaching the edge of the city,
Enter the villages and towns near the city. Walk along the country road towards the village cemetery,
After crossing the cemetery and continuing to walk for less than ten minutes, I saw a large lake with mist in the distance.
This lake is called "Lake Nederland", although it is far smaller than Lake Eldron on the upper Elon River, it is still very important for inland navigation.
On the east bank of the lake stands a watchtower built in an unknown age. This was an important commanding height during the war years, but it generally functions as a lighthouse now. And Xia De's destination is the old watchtower.
I thought that a random turn around would end this short trip, but when I passed the small village, I found a lot of ruts on the muddy country road. When passing the cemetery, I talked to the old cemetery guard who was repairing the cemetery, and learned that in the morning, a carriage of the Dawn Church passed by here.
And when Xia De saw the watchtower from a distance, he found traces of the church's ring warlocks using reconnaissance thaumaturgy nearby.
I was a little surprised at first, but then I thought, since even Mr. Sean Asmond, an ordinary person, can find clues here, and the Orthodox Church, which has fully confirmed the existence of demons in the local area, can naturally find out. Fortunately, just like Shade, the church obviously didn't pay much attention to the clues here, so judging from the descriptions of the villagers and the traces nearby, the local Church of Dawn should have only sent a full squad of ring warlocks to investigate.
This team of Ring Warlocks came in the morning, so by the time Shad appeared near the watchtower in the evening, their search mission should have been almost over without any gains.
Otherwise, these people shouldn't be the only ones here now. Xia De didn't plan to meet the ring warlock of the church, so he decided that there were people in the tower now, so he planned to take a walk in the nearby forest.
"However, if the devil was really suppressed under this tower, why didn't it knock down the tower when it broke free from the seal?"
Xia De thought suspiciously, standing by the lake watching the brilliant sunset, "she" asked gently:
[Why do you have to let the tower fall? 】
"I know a story in my hometown: a big white snake who is proficient in human transfiguration, when he broke free from under the sealed tower, he knocked down the tower."
[A fairy tale again? ] Xia De immediately denied:
"This is not a fairy tale, this is a very grown-up story.
do you know? In that story, a doctor who opened the hospital actually impregnated the white snake... Tsk tsk, this story should be more suitable for Mr. Lehman, and Professor Manning... I don't know Professor Manning , Will you help me publish that article... Mr. Erfurt who gave me that article has returned, but he left the pocket watch to me. Although I let me dispose of it casually, I still have to send it to Willendale City, in the hands of his fiancée... I don't know how the tiger has been, is it starving to death now..."
His thoughts are spreading infinitely.
When the dim sunset, the entire Netherlands
The surface of the lake, which had already begun to thaw, was reflected in brilliant golden yellow. The ring warlock team in the tower finally took a carriage and left from the watchtower.
Xia De watched them leave, waited for a while, and finally walked towards the tower after making sure that the group would not come back.
Although it serves as a lighthouse now, there are not even tower keepers arranged here in winter. The door under the tower was locked by the team just now when they left, but ordinary locks can't help Xia De. However, this watchtower is really too small, far smaller than the old lighthouse guarded by Mr. Edmund of Lengshuigang City, where Shade often goes, the city lighthouse of Tobesk City, which performed the "time perception enhancement ceremony" with the help of doctors, and last year The decisive battle of the lighthouse on Pantanal Lake Island~www.mtlnovel.com~ This tower has no basement and is divided into four floors. Except for one floor which is made of dirt, the other three floors are made of wood. Because the area is small, each floor is connected to each other with simple wooden vertical ladders, and it is quite troublesome to climb up and down.
Xia De did not become lazy and fly up as a butterfly, but climbed from the bottom to the top. He saw the traces of the Church's inspection of the place in various ways, and also saw the broken quilts and other daily necessities left by the tower keepers who left in early winter.
On the top floor, only the tall brazier in the center remained. There is still some heat in the brazier, probably because the ring warlocks of the church want to try to see if there will be any difference when lighting the brazier.
"I knew it was a complete waste of time."
Xia De muttered, stood at the top of the watchtower, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the scenery of the Great Lake.
Far away from the city, this place is really peaceful, as if the disaster in the Randall Valley has not affected this place yet. The setting sun reflected the cracked ice into golden yellow, and the evening wind blew the woodland on the shore of the lake, making the forest make a rhythmic and natural sound.
