Mr. Mark and Chairman Stein are both Shade's friends. These two gentlemen seem to be fine today, and they actually invited Shad to the upstairs office for a drink after get off work. By the way, they talked about the players in the big city this year.
Drinking alcohol is prohibited during working hours, but people like to decorate their offices with famous wines. Counting the time after get off work, having a drink with friends and colleagues is the elegant hobby of the upper-class gentlemen sitting in the office in this era.
Xia De has never been interested in drinking, but he is interested in big city players, so he followed the two gentlemen up to the third floor.
The decoration of the chairman's office is relatively simple, not as expected, there are antiques and other utensils on display, and even the oil paintings on the walls are ordinary landscape paintings. The wine in the wine cabinet in the room is the only expensive decoration. The most famous prophet in Tobesk talked with Shad about the origin and history of those drinks with great interest.
It seems that the vice president of the association is a Rhodes brand lover, while the president is a famous wine lover. Fortunately, this is not an ordinary organization, otherwise the future of the Prophet Association is really worrying.
The three of them sat down, talking about the Rhodes cards of the Devil series that Shad had acquired not long ago, the latest decks, and all the big and small games in the city. Just when Vice President Mark was entertaining everyone with a joke about Rhodes cards and drunkards, there was a knock on the door of the office.
The cat on the shoulder meowed towards the door. It had developed a habit at No. 6 Place Saint-Andrés, and would respond naturally whenever someone knocked on the door.
But it wasn't the receptionist downstairs who informed Xia Deluvia that she was back, but the middle-aged fortune teller of the association had something to do with President Stan. Something went wrong with the divination downstairs. A distinguished guest was slightly injured while divining with his companions in the association.
"Injured? Which room?"
Mr. Stein stood up and frowned.
The Tobesk local association has a president and three vice presidents. Among them, Shad's friend Mark, the vice president, is in charge of the Rhodes card, and the other two gentlemen are in charge of the divination business and the logistics management of the association. If a guest was injured in the association, no matter what, he should not go directly to President Stan to deal with the problem, so there is a high probability that the identity of the guest is a little troublesome.
"Sir, it's the big divination room at the end of the second floor."
Hearing this answer, Vice President Shad and Mark also stood up. The room at the end of the second floor is the VIP room, which is usually used to receive those guests who are extremely distinguished or have strict privacy requirements. Luvia and Shad mentioned that room, and ordinary nobles are not qualified to use it.
"Which lady is here? Lady Rose? Lady Raven? Lady Loom? Lady Briar?"
Vice President Mark asked, those distinguished women don't like to use their real names to participate in divination activities.
The female fortune-teller wrapped in a scarf glanced at Xia De, and whispered when no one objected:
"Miss Loom."
Vice President Mark's face suddenly became serious, and even Mr. Stein was taken aback. The high-ring warlock frowned tightly:
"These are really in trouble."
As he spoke, he asked Vice President Mark to accompany Xia De here, while he and the fortune-teller left first.
It's just that after the interruption of this incident, Xia De and Mr. Mark are not interested in chatting anymore. Xia De held the cat and was a little curious about the identity of "Ms. Textile Machine". Mr. Mark saw his curiosity and hesitated for a while before he was willing to say the other party's true identity:
"Generally speaking, this is not allowed, but after all, you have a relationship with Miss Galina, and it's okay to know the identity of that lady."
"A member of the royal family?"
Shad asked.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness Agelina Cavendish."
Seeing Xia De's blank expression, Mr. Mark added:
"The sixteen-year-old princess was given a ruby the size of a pigeon egg by His Majesty the King as a birthday present during her birthday this spring. People have been talking about this for several months."
Of course, Xia De didn't know about what Mr. Mark said. He wasn't there this spring, and the original owner Xia De had just been taken in and trained by Detective Sparrow at that time, so he couldn't pay attention to this kind of thing. But he vaguely remembered the Princess Agelina Cavendish. Among all the children of Larousse III, this princess is remembered as the one who loved Larousse the most in recent years. The third princess's private favorite princess.
Before Agelina Cavendish, other princesses who were deeply loved by His Majesty the King all started their married lives in the form of political marriages. On the contrary, those daughters who are not privately loved by His Majesty the King, such as Rezia who is more likely to be regarded as a powerful minister by the King, are more likely to be able to marry relatively freely.
From this point of view, the royal family is really incomparably realistic.
Seeing that Mr. Mark seemed to know a lot about the aristocratic secrets, Shad asked him about the other children of Larousse III.
Mr. Mark's attitude is the same as that of most nobles nowadays. He believes that Larousse III's harsh attitude towards his children and his behavior of allowing many adult children to participate in politics without a confirmed heir will most likely lead to Kingdom upheaval.
And unlike Rezia, who was in touch with government affairs early and could even be sent to Kaserik for a visit, Princess Agelina Cavendish, who occasionally comes to the Prophet Association with her friends to participate in divination activities, is that The kind of princess Shad could imagine, in the traditional sense.
Receive training in etiquette, dance, and literature courses, do not touch the kingdom's government affairs, hang out at banquets and noble salons, like to sneak out of the Yodel Palace to have fun with friends... Considering that the Prophet Association is far away from the Yodel Palace The distance is not far, even the lazy cat held by Shade can complete the transfer between the two places within ten minutes, so it is really hard to say whether such a "sneak escape" is under the acquiescence of His Majesty the King.
But no matter how Larouse III treats his children, it is not a good thing for the association after all that a princess is injured in the association of prophets.
Chairman Addis Stan is the most outstanding prophet in the Tobesk region. Shad originally thought that he would handle this matter, and he would soon know what happened and make a proper disposal. Unexpectedly, Shad and Mr. Mark had just chatted about a few days ago, when the rumor that "Prince Sachs broke into the Yoddle Palace with a gun" suddenly appeared in the city, Chairman Stan walked back again, followed by a somewhat panicked man. maid.
Vice President Xia De and Mark immediately pretended to be discussing the Rhodes card.
"Mr. Hamilton, I remember you were a detective?"
Chairman Stan asked in embarrassment.
"Yes."
Xia De nodded, looking at the maid. The Prophet Association has only employees and servants, and there are no maids wearing maid skirts. This should be brought by a certain noble lady.
"Sorry, what happened next is a bit troublesome, and I need your help to investigate. Please rest assured, no matter whether there is a result or not, this is considered a commission from the association, and there will be a suitable reward."
He said again, Xia De hesitated before standing up, nodded in surprise:
"Understood, I think it's all right."
In fact, the problem is very big. The fact that the princess sneaked out and was unfortunately injured should not be publicized. Instead of going to the police, she came to "Radger's Hamilton" who happened to be in the association to investigate. Normally, it is understandable.
But as Tobesk's best seer, there's no way Mr. Stein can't fail to discover the truth.
Even if it involves relics, fortune tellers can't do fortune telling, so as a ring magician, he has no reason to ask "ordinary person" Xia De to deal with this matter.
So, thinking about it this way, the possible reason can only be that Chairman Stan has already discovered the truth, but it is not appropriate to tell the truth from his perspective, so he came to find Xia De who has the right status.
"But I am better than President Stan, what status advantage do I have?"
When walking along the corridor to the stairs, Xia De thought in his heart:
"Could it be that this involves some political factors, so Chairman Stan doesn't want the association to get involved easily?"
But it's impossible, President Stan is not like the kind of ring magician who would leave his troubles to ordinary people.
This entrustment can be rejected by Xia De, but no matter what, the Prophet Association is behind it, so he doesn't have too many scruples.
When I came to the second floor of the Prophet's Association, I saw several female employees of the association standing at the end of the corridor, placing a sign saying that no progress was allowed.
After Mr. Stein greeted them, he took Xia De to continue walking forward.
Two burly middle-aged men guarded the door of the room at the end. Because there was no Ouroboros logo of the Prophet Association on their bodies, Shade guessed that they were the guards that the princess brought with her when she went out.
They took the initiative to help Xia De and his team open the door~www.mtlnovel.com~ The area of this VIP divination room is twice the size of a normal room, and it looks like the decorative wall between the two rooms has been opened.
Curtains were hung everywhere in the room, and the red carpet was embroidered with strange and interesting patterns with gold and silver threads. The windows were closed and the curtains were all drawn, and there was a pungent smell of spices in the room.
When noble ladies do divination, they probably deliberately create a dark room atmosphere, but now all the gas lamps on the walls are turned on, making the room very bright.
Xia De first observed the abstract landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall to create a divination atmosphere, and then looked at the stone round table placed in the center of the room.
Xia De was really curious about how this thing was moved to the second floor.
There were a lot of people in the room, and the young girls in skirts were sitting on the sofa set against the wall to rest at this time. After a rough count, there were about seven or eight people. The old doctor was leading his apprentice to bandage the red-haired girl whose back was facing Shad, while the two maids stood by the sofa, looking warily at the stranger who entered the room.
