Chapter 384: rainy day before the storm

Thinking about the two hostile gods in his heart, Xia De looked away from the paper in his hand, and said to the maid Tifa:

"I happen to have a [relic] fishing rod in my hand."

"Such a coincidence?"

The black-haired maid asked, and then showed a quiet and relaxed smile:

"You are so lucky. However, in addition to these materials, there is one thing that cannot be written on paper. I can only tell you orally."

"Please say."

Xia De looked at her curiously.

"As you probably know, mermaids and murlocs are not the same species, but in the Shadow of Coldwater Harbor incident, the mermaid statue and mermaid dream became part of the sea return ceremony."

Xia De was taken aback for a moment before he realized the problem:

"why is that?"

"The murlocs are the family of the evil gods, and the mermaids are a free ocean race. In the ancient times, the two fought a tragic war, and that war ended with the victory of the murlocs. They usurped the power of the mermaids, and even usurped the mermaids. the history of the race to strengthen itself."

Miss Tifa Servet spoke very slowly, leaving enough room for Shad to think:

"So, murlocs and real mermaids are actually blood feuds...but why are you telling me this?"

The black-haired maid smiled.

Her eyebrows are slender, her eyes look large, and her milky skin makes it impossible to see the slightest blemish on her face. The black hair covered the forehead, swept the thin eyebrows, and the smiling expression tilted his head, even a little playful:

"Miss thinks this may be useful to you, but this is information that is not allowed to be circulated in the parliament, so I can only dictate it to you."

Xia De nodded, remembering the other party's smile and the information in his head.

The maid continued:

"Besides, Miss has another sentence for me to bring to you."

"Please say."

"Although I don't know how you got to Lengshuigang, or rather, although I don't know what connection you have with Lengshuigang..."

The smile on her face remained unchanged, making Xia De's very friendly black eyes blink.

Xia De was not surprised that the Duchess could guess this. He cared so much about the affairs of Lengshui Port that he even showed how to make the badge and asked to collect information about "returning the sea". It's already obvious.

"...But be careful. Although the return of the sea is not a divine drop ceremony, it is also not an ordinary level of danger. If it is equivalent to the loss of control of the relic, the effect of the return of the sea ceremony can even be regarded as an angel level. .”

"Don't worry, I know what I'm going to do. Besides..."

He sat there and pointed to his forehead:

"I'm still looking forward to Miss Galina's next kiss."

It's not that Xia De has any bad intentions, but just wanted to test out what Miss Galina meant last night.

Tifa Servet's face was a little red, but the quiet smile on his face did not change:

"Miss is also looking forward to it, Mr. Hamilton, Miss is looking forward to you and can give her more surprises."

Coincidentally, Dorothy, who came to help Shade look after the cat again today, arrived before the maid left.

She recognized Miss Galina's carriage in the square, and when she knocked on the door and saw the black-haired maid behind Shade who was about to leave, she didn't say anything. And after the maid left, the blonde girl jokingly asked Xia De:

"I told you before, don't get too close to Galina, you see, you still have a relationship with her."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. I asked Miss Galina to help collect some things about the return ceremony of the sea, which can help Rezia."

Shad said.

Dorothy had long guessed that Miss Galina belonged to the "Witch Council". After all, she was the one who told Shad the name "Handkerchief Lovers Association" at the beginning. Of course, it was just speculation before, and it was only recently confirmed from Xia De.

"If that's the case...it's best not to mention this with Rezia."

When going up the stairs, she reminded cautiously.

"Why?"

Goldilocks shook her head:

The outlander nodded, looked at the cat waiting for him on the stairs, and thought of what his boss, Mr. Anlos, had revealed last time.

Before going to Lengshui Harbor today, Xia De went to the Prophet Association first, and then unexpectedly learned that the [Devil Soul Stealer Bishop] he appraised here yesterday was actually the real thing.

This was beyond Xia De's expectations. He never imagined that he could win such a precious card from a stranger he met in a small hotel in the slums.

Vice President Mark congratulated Shad, and learned the origin of the card from Shad. Of course, the location was moved from Coldwater Harbor to Tobesk.

Mr. Mark likes this story very much, and he has a big smile on his face:

"This is the most charming part of the Rhodes card. People will never guess when their next card will appear. Look, Mr. Hamilton, there are already eight special cards in your hand this time." .So do you think that you will spend your whole life collecting a whole set of special Rhodes cards?"

He said expectantly:

"This is the pursuit of the top Rhodes players."

If it was Xia De one and a half months ago, he would definitely refuse immediately. But now he needs to hesitate a bit before he nods hesitantly:

"This...is possible."

"See, I guessed it from the first time we met. You're bound to be a Rhodes player."

Probably because he witnessed a person who had nothing to do with Rhodes become a real fan, and Mr. Mark was in a good mood.

After leaving the Prophet Association, Xia De went home to Coldwater Harbor. I don't know if it's the rainy season in Lengshui Port, or the large-scale ceremony [Sea Return] affected the climate, but it's still raining today.

When Xia De struggled to swim from the sea to the shore with the telescopic fishing rod on his back, it took a full ten minutes longer than yesterday.

The heavy rain hits the face painfully, and the current under the sea has become very dangerous. If Xia De's mortal body hadn't been strengthened because of the special upgrade method when he was promoted to the second ring, he might have to fight against nature under the sea for a while longer.

At the alley of the pier, I found the four-wheeled carriage arranged by Leiziya, and the carriage had already prepared blankets and towels for Xia De.

But after taking a bath in the room specially arranged for him in Sofia's mansion, I found out that Rezia had gone to the city hall early in the morning and would not be back until noon. She asked the servant to leave a letter for Xia De, so that Xia De could move freely. If there is something urgent, you can ask the maid of the mansion to find her in the city.

But Xia De came to Cold Water Port mainly because of the curse on Rezia, otherwise he wouldn't need to swim in the rainstorm with a fishing rod on his back.

Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Xia De had no intention of going to the city to have a look. So in the room that Leizia arranged for him, he restored the book that had been turned into a toy, thinking about spending the morning by reading.

It's just that after reading the book for half an hour, the pendant hanging on his chest suddenly became hot.

It wasn't the slight fever when the black-haired maid was around, but the rapid heating up. This means that there is a real witch, within the range that the badge can detect.

"I knew this badge would be useful."

Thinking about it, I wanted to hide myself in the closet. But he quickly realized that this room was safe, and he didn't have to hide at all.

Xia De carefully went to the window and drew the curtains, then leaned his body against the wall, and opened the gaps in the curtains with his fingers to look out.

The room Leizia chose for Xia De was outside the manor courtyard, with a wide view and a nice view. Xia De peeped out and could see the convoy coming directly from the gate of the manor to the gate of Sophia's mansion.

Rezia was served by the servants to get off the car, and there was also a strange twenty-eight or nine-year-old woman. Compared with the cumbersome dress of the princess, the strange woman's dress is more gorgeous. Through the rain, Xia De couldn't see her face clearly, but he knew in his heart that this was Miss Xi Wei Aurora, and she was a real twelve-ring magician.

Seeing the target, Xia De immediately left from the window to avoid being discovered by the other party's overly sensitive senses.

He took a few steps back and forth in the room, took the badge on his chest out of his clothes, and felt it getting hotter and hotter, which meant that the witch was getting closer.

But Leiziya led the other party upstairs directly, without passing through the corridor here. And as long as Xia De doesn't show up in front of the other party, there will be no problem if he thinks about it.

So he really didn't leave the room all morning, and the lunch was delivered by the maid of the manor. It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the convoy drove the witch away in the rain. Xia De held the badge on his chest by the window and confirmed that it was no longer vibrating before he was relieved.

Communicating with this kind of woman~www.mtlnovel.com~ Rezia was probably exhausted, and it took a full half an hour for the servant to lead Xia De to the study to meet her.

Her Royal Highness the Princess had already changed into a set of clothes, and when she saw Xia De enter the room, she just greeted him lazily.

"I'm sorry, Xia De, this kind of entertainment is really too evasive, that Miss Aurora is really a good negotiator."

She asked the maid to massage her shoulders behind her. Xia De sat on the other side of the desk, put his arms on the desk sideways, and looked out the window to prevent the team from coming back suddenly:

"What did you say? Oh, if it's a confidential matter, don't tell me."

Rezia shook her head lazily:

"It's not a secret either. They gave me the invitation to tonight's banquet a few days ago, and now they're here to invite me in person. Besides, the Aurora family wants to expand the shipyard in Lengshui Port and get involved in the business of large steamships. But you also know that this kind of ship can be used for military purposes with a little modification, and my father is very sensitive to this control. So Xi Wei Aurora wants me to say a few words in front of my father, and she can give it to me. ...some benefits."

What are the specific benefits, Lei Xiya didn't mention it, and Xia De didn't ask.

"The weather is really bad and it looks like a storm is coming."

While the maids were stepping on the carpet and pushing the dining car to deliver the afternoon tea, the princess wearing a silver crown put her face on one hand and looked out the window melancholy.

Xia De also looked out of the window, the raindrops were beating the floor-to-ceiling windows, even he knew that the storm in Coldwater Harbor was coming.
