Chapter 196 Five Letters
In short, after three weeks, Shade finally finished the first time The entire expedition of the key, witnessing the final story of God. While the harvest is huge, it also means that Shade can try to unlock the second key.

He got a Fifth Era 3002 key from Old John on Monday, and after summing up his gains, he tried to use the new key to push the door.

Then, as he expected, the key could be inserted into the completely mismatched keyhole, but it would not be able to turn the lock. The rule of using time keys at intervals of one week is common to all keys.

So, if Shade wants to venture into the past on the second stage, it will have to wait until the early hours of next Thursday.

As for the relic [another face] obtained from the maid, it was placed by Shade on the hidden wall of the basement. This thing has great side effects, but the containment conditions are very simple. A sackcloth with the blood of several clergymen will do.

When placing the relic, looking at the Ancient God statue in the center of the circular space, Shade clutched the wooden box with "white stone crystal". After thinking for a long time, he did not immediately try to open another space. road sign.

He is already very tired tonight, and he is not sure whether to teleport, whether there is a cooldown like the [Time Key], or whether it is like the last "Plaza Sainteland to Sainteland Square" No need to wait.

But if you run to a far away place and can't come back immediately, the cost of taking the steam train is second, and the cat at home is not taken care of, but it is a big problem.

So, Shade intends to wait until he's done with everything in his hands and has time for a long trip before trying out the Ancient God statue. The statue is here anyway and won't run away just because Shade isn't using it.

As for tonight's most important harvest, representing the leaves of spirit rune and Mystic Art, Shade doesn't know how to use it. Soak it in water, eat it directly, or stick it on the head, it's all possible.

And in order not to damage two leaves with a reckless attempt, he decided to ask some reliable people tomorrow.

After dealing with a series of troublesome things at hand, he finally ended this magical day.

I closed my eyes before going to sleep, recalled the events of the day again, and made sure that today was a very magical day, even compared to the night at Lake View Manor.

(Xia is running.)

On Thursday morning, when Shade went downstairs to get newspapers and goat milk, he found 5 letters addressed to him. This is a rare thing.

The first two letters were from Dr. Schneider and Miss Beas, both asking about Shade's health. Both were at the entrance of Tobesque station yesterday when they saw Shade suddenly jumping out to block the bullet. Although I saw that he was fine later, I was still a little worried, so I wrote to inquire about the specific situation.

The third letter was sent by Augustus priest, on the high-grade spice paper used for churches. He invited Shade to Dawn Church this afternoon and claimed that Owen Bishop had something to discuss with Shade.

"Huh, about the commemorative coin?"

Sitting on the sofa, he looked up towards the coffee table, the commemorative coin with the bullet still embedded in it, lying there quietly. After that scene on the street yesterday, it would be strange if the Dawn Church didn't want to do something.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I can go to church in the afternoon. But he must be careful to pretend to be injured, or he may raise doubts about his identity.

The fourth, unsurprisingly, was a letter from Captain Radees. Because of Shade's accidental shooting, after catching the fat woman involved in the disappearance of the child, all the transcripts were completed by Captain Radees. He only came out of Ridwich Field yesterday at eight, but he didn't feel like a waste of time.

The captain told Shade very excitedly in the letter, because he was also a key figure in solving this major case, so he received news from his friends after leaving the Ridwich field. After the Police Department commends the case, once he can also receive the award, the Imperial Family Army will consider returning him to his original unit and returning to the front line as a lieutenant.

Captain Radees was so agitated that his already unpleasant words became more distorted and indistinguishable.

Shade looked at the letter in his hand and smiled relaxedly. He was very happy for Captain Radees. The current embarrassing life of the captain was caused by [Relic]. If he can return to a place he is familiar with and return to his own life, then this is the best compensation the captain can get so far.

The captain said in his letter that he planned to visit Shade this evening to express his gratitude. He knew that the detective at noon yesterday had really done a great job compared to the meager things he had done. So I guess Shade will be very busy recently, so I choose to visit at night.

And the last letter was more of a note than a letter. The signature is Mr. Anros from MI6, the supervisor in Shade's name. He informed in the note that he would visit St. Teresa Square this morning at 8:00 a.m. to tell Shade not to go out.

"What will Mr. Anlos do to me?"

He guessed various possibilities, and an hour later, the first thing the middle-aged gentleman did after entering the door, Just took out a thick envelope and handed it to Shade.

Shade squeezed, making sure that if it wasn't full of paper, then it must be full of bills.

"300 pounds."

While going up the stairs, he said to Mr. Anlos who was behind Shade. Shade's hand holding the envelope jerked hard, leaving a mark on the envelope's surface.

Outsiders have never been exposed to so much cash in this world, and even the share of the money that the doctor intends to cash out from the Academy is not as much.

"The £100 is a bounty set up by MI6 and the City Hall to solve the missing child case. It was supposed to take a few days to give you, but I got it for you in advance. The other £200 is my own. Thank you."

Shade stopped and turned his head in surprise, looking towards the middle-aged man standing on the stairs lower than him in the First Rank, who nodded slightly to Shade clutching his hat:
"Thank you for everything you did yesterday, Mr. Hamilton."

The tone was very serious and the expression was serious.

"It's my pleasure."

Shade nodded slightly too, and continued to lead the boss up. Until now, the respect of this veteran kingdom intelligence officer for Shade was finally not all because of Miss Galina.

Shade's MI6 identity, unless he betrays the kingdom of Delarion, is already solid and almost impossible to change.

Mr. Anlos visited Shade himself, and not all to give him gold pounds. He brought a total of two news. The first news was that the investigation of the serial disappearance of Tobesque children was going very smoothly.

This appears to be a huge human trafficking organization, and the one who was caught yesterday was an important ringleader. At present, the joint MI6 at Ridwich Field is conducting a nationwide investigation based on the intelligence at hand.

Even if everyone knows that Impossible will find all the missing children, at least this thing that people were alarmed is finally over.

The second news is also good news, Shade's "Delarion Honorary Knight Medal" has been approved. On Sunday night this week, the Royal General will present awards to those who have contributed to the "disappearance of children", including Shade, at the royal-owned estate on the outskirts of the city.

In addition to Shade, two lucky gentlemen were awarded, but those were low-level Delarion contributions. One of them is an old agent from Ridwich Field who has been in charge of the investigation. The other is the current police chief of Ridwich Field, and the medal is not really important to this gentleman with the rank of viscount.

"Why did you decide to award the award so quickly? Didn't this happen just yesterday? The royal family and the city hall made a decision overnight?"

Shade Doubtful questions, but he has no doubts about the speed of the official procrastination.

"In order to appease people, of course, but also to give Queen Diana a proper reason to appear in public and to calm down some rumors."

"Rumours?"

Mr. Anlos' answer was very cautious:

"After yesterday's assassination, the rumor that Queen Diana was shot and killed immediately appeared. The royal family needs extra attention to deal with this matter, so it is There needs to be a suitable occasion for Queen Diana to show up."

"Mr. Anlos, I actually feel that there was something wrong with the assassination yesterday, and is the rumor spreading a little too fast? '

Shade asked, then thought of what the black-haired maid had said yesterday to stop Mr. Anlos.

"Is it really."

He extended the hand to point in the direction of the kitchen, whose window had a view of Yodel Palace.

Mr. Anlos showed a secret expression:

"This kind of topic can't be talked nonsense, Mr. Hamilton, don't guess any more, it has nothing to do with you. Also, your identity It is an enthusiastic ordinary citizen, and the background of MI6 will not be exposed."

Speaking of which, the background of the entire assassination incident seems to be more complicated than the outsiders expected.

“But why is it Sunday night again?”

he asked again.

"Again? Do you have anything else to do on Sunday?"

Mr. Anlos asked rhetorically, and Shade shook his head. Just sigh, since I came to this world, it seems that Sunday night has never been leisurely. But fortunately, this time, there is finally no need to play Rhodes.

"Oh, remember to bring a Rhodes card. This kind of high-profile dinner will become very relaxing after the King Your Majesty leaves. If it is for the purpose of making friends, the Rhodes card is good. Tools. Since Miss Galina values you so much, it would be helpful to know some friends, this black tea is really good."

Mr. Anlos sighed, Shade glanced at the teacup, Somehow thought of Detective Sparrow. When the former detective was alive, he probably never thought that his house and his own black tea would entertain the director of MI6.

Mr. Anlos is also a busy man. He stayed here for 20 minutes before leaving.

Then Shade also went out, and went out with Mia. First, he delivered the reply letter to the doctor and Miss Beas in the mailbox on the street corner, and then went straight to the Society of Prophets with the cat in his arms.
