Chapter 312 Cold Harbor Holiday

A strange vertigo gave Shade a sense of his origins The urge to blurt out, but it's just an urge. He was very familiar with this feeling. At the dinner party at Lake View Manor, the Captain of Iluna's square used a similar method to him.

“I”

He took a step back and frowned:

“Ms. Polite."

The young girl frowned, as if complaining:
"It's really bad luck, didn't expect to meet someone on the street, and it's also a warlock. Sir, I I'm sorry for my actions, but I bet you peeked at my stuff."

"Yes."

Shade didn't deny it, taking a look at her Emoticon:
"You're the ring warlock of Zarath's Conjuration Academy?"

"You're going to report me?"

Goldilocks asked, eyes too Look at Shade. Her eyes are beautiful and radiant.

“Of course not, what’s in it for me to report you?”

Shade said, before adding, pointing to himself, deciding to take a risk:
“Ma’am, I I didn't expect to meet you by chance. I'm a ring warlock from out of town, and I don't know anything about the local situation. To be precise, I'm a student of St. Byrons."

"St. Byrons?"

The young girl frowned slightly nodded, neither agreeing nor doubting.

“My name is John Watson, by the way, last week was the exam week for the three major academies, and I came here after the exam week.”

He introduced himself that the exam week was to prove his identity.

Extended her right hand to the stranger, who hesitated:
"Nobela Prince."

The girl with the ruby earrings also He stretched out his hand to Shade, the palms of the two touched, and the voice in his ear sounded at the right time:
[Five rings. ]

"Then, Mr. Watson, what do you want to do when you come here?"

"It's just to find a friend, but unfortunately he left one step ahead of time. I want to stay here. Waiting for him to come back for a while."

Shade knew that this Miss Prince was probably not letting her guard down at all, so she just introduced herself briefly, and took the note with the address from her pocket. Liao Huang:

"I really have something urgent to do. Since you are a local, you should know about the mermaid statues. It's unfortunate that I came across one of them and was about to report it to Church, let the church take the time to get rid of this dangerous thing. I wonder if Miss Prince, is there any safe way to tell the church?"

He can use this matter to come to the church. See if the other person can be trusted.

"You mean that sage-level relic?"

Miss Prince is slightly frowned.

"Yes, I saw the Academy bounty in your bag, and if you want to send the statue to the Zarathven Academy, I can also sell you the news for a cheaper price."

If it weren't for the inability to explain the origin of the statue, Shade's best bet would be to sell it to St. Byrons.

And Miss Prince, obviously didn't expect Shade to say this, she was stunned before shaking her head:
"Sage-level relics are too dangerous, even if you sell them to me, I will. There is no way to store it. But if you just want to pass the information to the church, I have some options, come with me, since you helped me just now, I can help you.”

Said Then he greeted Shade and left together.

After a simple conversation, the two established the simplest trust. And when they were walking down the street looking for a four-wheel rental carriage, Shade looked at her like she had seen her somewhere.

But if Shade sees such a beautiful girl with outstanding temperament as Miss Prince, she will never forget it. Asking about the "other me" in her heart, the woman's voice also thought that Shade had never seen her.

"It's really weird."

But the familiarity doesn't seem to be an illusion.

Finally found the carriage at the intersection of the next street. The girl with the earrings spoke to the coachman, and the coachman took the two to the nearest Church of Creation.

The church is located on St. John's Avenue, the most prosperous part of the quayside. Across two streets, the spire of the church can be seen extending to the sky over the surrounding buildings. Getting off the bus at the gate of the lively church, Miss Prince did not take Shade into the church, but walked east along St. John's Avenue and stopped at the gate of the antique shop not far from the church.

"Wait for me."

Said and walked into the antique shop, and the middle age person dressed by the shopkeeper followed her out after a while. This is the same ring warlock, but only with one ring. He shook hands with Shade very enthusiastically, and after confirming the information with Shade, he locked the door of the store and walked to the alley not far away.

“This is a local black market broker, specializing in intelligence business. He will pass the news on, and the church will know in about half an hour.”

Miss Princes said , looks very familiar with the local situation. Seeing that Shade was still standing on the stone pavement overlooking the church not far away, he asked:

"The thing that I promised you to do has been done. If there is nothing else, I think I should leave. "

Then she made the appearance of leaving, of course, the shoes did not leave the ground, and she did not lift her feet at all.

"Oh, please wait, Miss Prince."

Shade said immediately, the other party was really familiar with Coldwater Harbor, so whether it was Zarath's or not Correspondence ring warlock, the other party should be able to help him.

"I am a foreigner. Since I just arrived here, I naturally want to familiarize myself with the local situation. Miss Prince, I wonder if you have time today."

"What are you going to do?"

The young girl asked with a smile.

"I want to hire you, hire you to be my tour guide for a day, take me around Coldwater Harbor, if you can take me to the black market where special items or knowledge can be traded, that's even better. Alright."

It's almost noon now, and if Shade is actually hired, strictly speaking, it should be half a day.

Miss Princes seemed to be holding back her laughter, but still nodded:

"I really don't have anything else to do today, it's okay to hire me as a tour guide, but you can Price?"

The pretty girl twitched her fingers.

“How much?”

Shade left Tobesque with a lot of cash in his suitcase for convenience.

"The remuneration can be negotiated slowly. It's already noon, sir, won't you invite me to lunch?"

She said in a very standard Delarion language in a relaxed tone.

Shade looked up at the sun above his head, calculated the thickness of his wallet, and judged whether it was worth inviting someone to eat:

"Okay, is there a recommended restaurant nearby?"

p>

The two turned around and walked along the street, walking towards the church with the lively crowd at noon.

Miss Prince is probably of high birth, and Shade thought she would choose a fancy restaurant in downtown Coldwater Harbor, but ended up just creating the neighborhood where the church is located and chose a slightly pricier restaurant .

The girl with a good figure is probably thinking of dieting, so she just chose some exquisite vegetarian dishes when ordering. After the waiter left, while waiting for the food to be served, Shade tried to inquire about the person's true identity in the city, but was blocked by Miss Princes.

She is very familiar with the local situation. Although she has always avoided talking with Shade about the local ring warlock situation, she is very enthusiastic about talking with Shade about the latest big news in the local area.

In addition to the sage-level relic [Mermaid Dream], which triggered the National Police Agency to collect mermaid-shaped statues across the city, causing the price of similar-shaped statues to plummet in the city, the most important news in recent weeks is that " Noble, Beautiful, Kind and Elegance" Visit by Laccia Cavendish Princess.

The adjective was added by Miss Prince.

"Princess hasn't left yet? I remember the newspaper saying that Laccia Princess was returning to Tobesque after only a week of local stops after her visit to Kasenrick, and she's still here. Local?"

Shade was surprised.

"Yes, it's still local. It is said that due to a sudden illness, I can't travel long distances, so I stayed in Coldwater Harbor for a while."

Miss Prince said with a smile .

"But why didn't I see it in the newspaper?"

"It's not a good thing, the royal family pressured the newspaper to publish it. And"

She lowered her voice:

"You can't possibly know about the major event that happened in Tobesque a week and a half ago, but the ordinary people of Evil God don't know the truth, and the royal family must have learned the truth from the church. There are rumors in the local ring warlock that the Her Highness the Princess was frightened by the Tobesque incident, so he pretended to be sick and didn't want to go back, and wanted to wait until it was safe to leave."

It's a bit slanderous, Shade heard a few words about Laccia Princess from Miss Luysha, and knew that the five-ringed girl Warlock was not such a timid person, so compared to being scared, the probability of suffering a serious illness It is not small.

"Maybe I should take the fruit and visit her on behalf of Miss Luisa but Princess doesn't seem to know me at all."

He thought to himself.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Watson, I haven't asked, what is your occupation. If I remember correctly, the three major Mystic Art Academy require correspondence students, try not to leave the permanent city for a long time. .Since you came to Coldwater Harbor from other places, you should be engaged in a relatively free profession, so that it is convenient to travel between the two places?"

Miss Prince seems to want to test Shade. identity, and Shade was already prepared to pull his thoughts back from the direction of Princess:
"I'm a writer and a detective's assistant, living with a very troublesome detective."

Shade, thinking about what lunch Mia will get from Miss Luisa at noon, said:
"My usual job, sorting out detective records, and meeting the client with my roommate. Of course, I also have to Helping the detective who is almost a waste of life to prepare food, cough cough, go for a walk with him, and occasionally argue about supper. But it is undeniable that although he is very troublesome, my cohabitation partner , the detective who likes to wear orange pajamas, fits my roommate needs very well."

"It's nice to have this kind of roommate, is he a ring warlock?"

asked the young girl who was dining with Shade.

"Of course not, but he knows I'm a ring warlock, and I've even tested the power of Mystic Art and relics on him. But."

Shade thought of the recent The appearance of a smarter cat, with an involuntarily smile on his face:

"If one day he can awaken his innate talent, I feel good."
