On Wednesday mornings, Shad was routinely woken up by the cats waiting for breakfast. When I yawned and went downstairs to fetch milk and newspapers, I found the letter thrown on the floor mat.
The postage stamp of Lake Tees on the envelope is very beautiful, and the mailing address is a small town by Lake Tees on the east coast of the old road. This is a letter from Ms. Mia San Gold:
"It's already the middle of the Frost's Moon, and Miss Gothe's letter has finally arrived! I thought she had some kind of problem."
Xia De looked away from the letter, turned around and said to Mia Cat who was waiting for him at the top of the stairs:
"Look, a letter from your master, Miss Gould."
"Meow~"
The cat licked its paw, but there was no reaction.
Miss Gold's letter was supposed to arrive at the beginning of each month, and the reasons for this delay were also mentioned in the letter.
It was very unlucky that a plague had been brought under control in that declining town last month. The church stationed in the town found some terrible signs and urgently asked for help from the church in the big city. Although the local residents didn't know what happened, Miss Gould had already heard some unrealistic rumors.
Although her family "has fallen", which was mentioned many times in the letter, it is still a very prominent and ancient family in the town, so the news is very well-informed. According to Ms. Gold, someone discovered some strange things in the harbor cave on the coast. Later, the investigation team of the church and the police from the big city discovered the source of the plague in the ancient sewer system of the town. related stuff.
Miss Gao De believed that the church had controlled everything, and Miss Gao De herself had been convalescing all autumn because of the cold, and this incident aggravated her condition.
But she wrote Tobesk herself, promising to pick up her pet cat, Mia, next spring.
This made Xia De very worried, not only worried about Miss Mia Gold's physical condition, but also worried that Miya would be separated from him.
But he couldn't take advantage of Miss Gao De's serious illness and take the opportunity to propose a condition to buy Mia. Therefore, I replied very seriously, using three pages of letter paper to express my best wishes to Miss Gao De, and attached Mia Mao's recent life.
Because he was worried that what happened in the remote town by the sea was related to the ring warlock and the relics, Shad suggested that Miss Gold could often go to the local church. Now that the church has noticed what is going on in the town, there must be ring magicians of the church stationed in the church, which is much safer than the "ghostly, desolate and dilapidated" old family house of the Gothe family described by Miss Gothe in her letter.
"No matter what, I wish Miss Gao De can recover her health in winter."
Xia De expressed his sincere wishes, and then sealed the envelope with glue and wax. He patted the head of Miya, who was squatting obediently, and was a little worried about the arrival of next spring.
After breakfast, I finished writing the letter. I planned to go out and mail the letter, but I said goodbye to the cat who was unwilling to go out. When I opened the door, I saw my boss, who I hadn’t seen for a long time, Dake Anlos, the director of MI6. sir come.
This very ordinary-looking gentleman was wearing an inconspicuous black coat with his hands in his pockets and a black top hat on his head. Behind him, followed a man with a very feminine appearance.
"The **** servant of the yordle palace."
Xia De suddenly understood.
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."
Mr. An Luosi greeted and shook hands with Xia De:
"Ready to go out?"
"Oh, I have nothing else to do. I plan to send a letter to a client from afar."
"Then send the letter later, His Majesty will see you in an hour."
As he said that, Director An Luosi introduced the palace attendant behind him. The latter just greeted Xia De respectfully, but didn't say much. Although Xia De knew about this meeting two weeks ago, he still pretended to be curious and asked Director An Luosi about the purpose of meeting His Majesty the King.
But Director An Luosi, who has always been friendly to Shad, did not give an answer this time. He frowned and shook his head, apparently not wanting to discuss these issues with Shad in front of the king's guards.
Saint Teresa Square is actually quite close to the Jodl Palace, just one street away, but the three of them still took the carriage. Because Director An Luosi's meeting order is after Xia De, so before a very strict body search, Xia De temporarily handed over the two guns on his body and his clothes full of various toys to Director An Luosi for safekeeping .
Then, under the guidance of the guard in the red coat and black trousers, Shad set out from the waiting room and walked through the complicated maze-like corridors on the third floor of the main building of the Yoddle Palace. Armored guards holding spears, who seemed to have passed through hundreds of years ago, stopped in front of the gate guarded by them.
Xia De couldn't go in immediately, because Larus III in the study was still talking about things with others. The soundproofing of the walls and the double metal door is very good, you can't hear anything from outside.
But Yodel Palace itself is not quiet. It is not only the residence of the royal family, but also the administrative and management center of the entire kingdom. When Xia De came in from the first floor just now, he saw many faces that often appeared in newspapers. And it was very strange that most of those people knew him, and they greeted him as if they had known Xia De a long time ago.
The original time to be summoned was 10:30 in the morning, but Xia De waited until almost 11:00 but still did not see the door was opened. He wanted to chat with others, but the **** dressed in red clothes and serious face didn't seem like a good chat partner. The door looked more like a statue than the guards who looked like living people, let alone Will chat with Shad about the latest weather.
"It's really not punctual."
Xia De complained in his heart, but since he was paid quite generously by others, it didn't matter if he waited. It’s just that when I was bored looking at the expensive oil paintings on the wall, I remembered that Director An Luosi planned to give him a weekly salary increase in autumn. Xia De is now holding a major-level weekly salary and reimbursement subsidies. Because he cannot be continuously promoted, Director An Luosi seems to want to find another way to get him a Tobesk city subsidy-this is a benefit for those who live in Tobesk. Housing subsidies for military officers in the core urban areas of Croatia.
If it weren't for Xia De himself being "illiterate", he could even get a degree subsidy.
Thinking about my own income, I also thought about whether to spend the savings in my hand as soon as possible, or keep it for a rainy day.
At this time, a series of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, obviously someone was coming.
Turning around and looking, the one walking on the red carpet is a tall man with red hair, in his thirties, although his body is a bit fat, but overall he is still strong:
"I've said it many times. The appointment of personnel in the Pioneering Corps needs to be approved by the House. I know that my father intends to train you two, but he must not bypass the House!"
Behind him was another red-haired young man, about twenty-five or six years old, thin and wearing glasses, frowning with a sad look:
"It will take at least a month for the process of the House of Representatives to go down, but now the mining of the purple gold mine in the No. 28 area of the New World is imminent. The spies of Kasenlik have also discovered those open-pit mines, and we must start work as soon as possible."
Further back is the red-haired Rezia, who is also frowning slightly, obviously encountering something unhappy:
"The logistics are fine at the moment, but I need a report on the specific size of the big mine before I can deploy new mining equipment. What are those vampires in the Ministry of Finance hiding? Are those civil servants too satisfied with their jobs? ?Also, why was my shipyard project report withheld by the House? I have even discussed the general plan with the Aurora family. Difficult?"
The princesses and princes of Delarion, followed by their entourage and servants, walked along the corridor to the door of the study while arguing.
When they saw Xia De, they immediately stopped discussing. Rezia, who was walking at the end, showed a smile. Although she used Dorothy's body to meet Shade on Saturday night four days ago~www.mtlnovel.com~, but this time she used her own body, And it's in my own home. She wanted to say hello to Xia De, but she could only wait for her brothers to speak first.
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
ps: The detective incident "The Missing Third Gold Coin" mentioned in the previous chapter will appear as a side story, with more than 5,000 words. The editor said that there is an event, so I gave it to him, and you will probably see it soon.
In addition, the time jump in the first few chapters is because not everything needs to be written in detail, and occasionally there is time to breathe. Of course, there will be some daily descriptions, and we should look at the lives of ordinary people in this world from Xia De's perspective, such as the flower girl in the previous volume. But it will be interspersed with various events, and it will not appear that twenty or thirty chapters in a row are daily routines. The detailed author will control it, and only at the turn of the two volumes will there be a similar time jump. You can also see how tight the time in the volume is.
In addition, regarding the description of love, isn't it because Xia De has just confirmed the relationship, it is impossible to cool down immediately. In the volume, business is still important, and there will no longer be such frequent similar descriptions. For example, after confirming the relationship with Luvia, the whole volume is only mentioned occasionally.
