It was ten past nine when we arrived at the station. After seeing at least three trains leaving on the platform, a steam train with a rare black spray paint on its body drove into the platform from the south.
The shape of the front of this steam train is obviously different from those just now. . Even an uninformed person can recognize that this is a special train.
Xia De recalled the train timetable he saw just now. This car should be a special train carrying businessmen from the southern foot of the Rommel Mountains to and from the two countries. On the one hand, it is to save time, and on the other hand, it is also helpful for businessmen to come in groups, so this is supported by the two countries.
"Could it be this?"
As he thought to himself, he stood still under the pillars of the platform where the arrest warrants and advertisements were pasted. The train stopped slowly, and with the sound of gas gushing, streams of hot white steam sprayed from the bottom of the carriage towards the platform.
The people who were picking up the station rushed up, but within a few tens of minutes, almost all the passengers in the carriage got off.
Xia De still didn't move, and then saw a middle-aged man wearing a black hat and very ordinary clothes coming down from the No. 1 carriage at the front.
He looked around, and soon saw Shad leaning against the platform pillar, holding a newspaper. After approaching, he carefully looked at his attire, nodded to him, and said in Kasenlik:
"Sir, do you like men?"
"Um?"
Xia De was taken aback for a moment, then thought of the password mentioned by Professor Higgins:
"no."
He also speaks Carson Riek.
"Then what age do you like pretty girls?"
the man asked again.
"All ages."
Xia De held back his shame and said that he really wanted to punch the person who came up with this password.
"So, are you interested in going to see beautiful girls with me?"
"interested in."
He said the last sentence of the code, and it was obvious that the middle-aged man was also relieved:
"Nice to meet you."
He said in Delarion, and stretched out his hand to Xia De, who also shook it:
"I hope the password will be normal next time."
"We can't interfere with the superior's decision."
After shaking hands, Xia De passed the suitcase in his hand, but the man shook his head:
"This kind of business secret, you should hand it in yourself."
He pointed to the open door of car number one.
This special train will stop here for about an hour. After changing the front, loading and boarding the passengers, it will return to Kasenlik through the mountain pass. Therefore, the person who came to pick up this suitcase this time may be a big shot in Carson Rik on the other side of the mountain.
"OK."
Xia De hesitated for a moment, and followed the man towards the direction of the No. 1 carriage.
The No. 1 car of the special train is prepared for special guests. The whole car is completely opened up and arranged like a reception room. And when the car door behind him was closed, it unexpectedly blocked all the noisy sounds in the Fort Midhill train station.
There was a smell of spices in the carriage, and the girls in maid costumes seemed to be preparing breakfast for the master here.
A light-transmitting screen separates the sofa set from the desk. Xia De can only see a lady sitting beside the desk, but he doesn't know who it is.
While noticing the shadow, Xia De actually felt the badge on his chest warming slightly. The degree of fever is very slight, that is to say, the woman behind the screen should be a follower of a certain great witch. The witch's power is extremely low, and Xia De doesn't even have to worry about being discovered by the other party.
"Wait, isn't Miss Galina or Miss Aurora joking with me?"
At this time, even if Miss Galina suddenly walked in from outside the carriage, Xia De would not be surprised. But obviously, the other party did come to pick up the goods, and the woman behind the screen was a follower of the Great Witch that Xia De didn't know.
"Why do I always meet strange witches?"
He muttered in his heart:
"Are there any other ring warlocks? How many rings?"
[There may be four or five rings behind the screen. In addition to her, there is a ring warlock with a ring 1 or ring 2 further away in this carriage. 】
"clear."
Shade didn't sit on the sofa, but raised the suitcase with his right hand and held the bottom of the suitcase with his left hand:
"This is it."
He doesn't know the current situation very well, so he speaks as little as possible, and uses Kasenlik, and such simple sentences are no problem for him.
"Who are you? Where's Professor Higgins?"
The voice behind the screen said that the age of the voice should not be very old, and she also spoke Kasenlik.
"died."
Shad really wanted to explain that "a money dispute with the locals" was the cause of death, but his foreign language was not good enough, and it would be awkward to speak Delarion in this situation, so he could only answer briefly.
"So, who are you?"
The voice behind the screen asked the question again:
"Are you one of us?"
"We" should mean Gray Gloves.
"of course."
Even if Professor Higgins died, he probably wouldn't tell a stranger this secret that could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
"So, what's your code name? Are there any 'our people' like you in the Fort Midhill area?"
"I'm good at faking it."
"I'm on a secret mission, so it's inconvenient to reveal my identity."
The pause in the middle was not to pretend to be cold, but because he got stuck. The word "secret" was a bit confusing, and he had to figure it out before saying it.
"You mean, you are one of us who is carrying out a secret mission? Occasionally met the dying Professor Higgins, and only after gaining his trust did he continue his mission?"
said the voice behind the screen.
"Yes."
Xia De replied simply, and put the box under his feet. But the door was still closed, and the owner of the carriage didn't want him to leave.
"Sir, I doubt your identity very much. Tell me your code name, my secret level is very high, and I know most of 'our people'."
"You sure don't know me."
Xia De said in a low voice.
"Really? There are no more than ten people I don't know, so you say you are one of these ten?"
"Yes."
"huh~"
The voice behind the screen laughed:
"Do you think I'll trust your word?"
"I brought what you asked for."
Shad kicked the box.
"But how do I know that this box is what I want?"
The woman asked, Xia De hesitated:
"I can tell my code name, but you have to bear the price of hearing my identity. It is a violation of the rules for me to intervene in this mission, and revealing the code name is absolutely not allowed. Ma'am, if you are sure that your identity is enough , then I will continue.”
"Go ahead, I'm sure I can hear anything."
"Well, I am..."
Shad sighed inwardly, and apologized softly to Detective Sparrow Hamilton, who was buried in Tobesk Public Cemetery:
"I'm the Gray Eagle."
For Leizia's arrangement, he had to say this. And the gray gloves probably don't know that the real "gray eagle" is dead, otherwise they wouldn't trust the information in the pen that was passed on.
There was a moment of eerie silence in the carriage, and then the woman behind the screen laughed again, it was a very arrogant laugh:
"This joke is more interesting than the one just now."
"Ma'am, I don't know if you are qualified, let me prove my identity."
Seeing his self-confidence, the woman hesitated for a moment:
"You guys leave first."
So in the entire carriage, only this lady, Xia De, and another low-ring warlock were left. It was a maid who also seemed to have very little witch power.
"I took over the information from Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Sete."
He was very straightforward, and this sentence was a long sentence prepared in advance while everyone was leaving. Since he decided to pretend to be the ace agent for Leiziya's affairs, he would not reveal any flaws.
"No no, if you're an MI6 agent, you probably know about it too. In fact, no one in Gray Gloves knows exactly who the Gray Eagle is, his age, his face, or even his gender. Know him People with different identities only know a small part of the truth, and together they can piece together the general characteristics of this gentleman."
The woman pauses:
"But you are very lucky, I once talked to him through a wall when the contemporary king met him..."
Xia De felt a sudden in his heart, he didn't know about it at all:
"Oops!"
"Mr. Greyhawk is discreet, almost watertight, but presumably relaxed in the palace, so I discovered one of his little hobbies. Tell me, sir, Greyhawk is a very fond of pocket watches, even if The pocket watch is not commensurate with the identity he pretends to be, and he will definitely wear an expensive pocket watch, but fortunately, he can use other excuses to explain the origin of the pocket watch. So, what is his pocket watch like?"
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief~www.mtlnovel.com~ He knew Mr. Sparrow's conceit
Table style, but just about to open my mouth, I immediately realized something was wrong:
"Mr. Sparrow's pocket watch is not expensive! Is this a trap?"
Eyes narrowed slightly:
"Since we are talking through the wall, how does this woman know what Sparrow's real pocket watch looks like? No, he's cheating on me... But she should know about Detective Sparrow's little hobby, the unremarkable little one." Hobby......"
"I don't like pocket watches."
After understanding the trap, Xia De smiled:
"I love black tea."
Pause:
"Yorkshire tea."
In order to commemorate the detective, he went to the city to find the same tea. Because the price is really astonishing, Xia De will never forget that kind of tea. After all, even Miss Galina and Rezia, who have picky tastes, have praised that kind of black tea is very good:
"Do you need me to tell you more about the place of origin?"
After 3 minutes and 23 seconds of silence:
"I don't think it's necessary anymore."
The woman's voice behind the screen said softly:
"But... why are you here?"
The tone was full of disbelief, but Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the lie passed the test.
I just wanted to say that I was here for a top-secret mission, but at this moment there was a knock on the door of the second carriage connecting here.
Then, a maid hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the woman behind the screen.
