Chapter 355 The Arrival of August

As promised, at dinner that day, Princess was at the Sofia mansion The restaurant hosted a banquet for Shade. Silverware plates filled the table, and Shade got to know more dishes and experienced the extravagant life of the top aristocrats in this era. Compared to dangerous adventures, this is the real "long insight".

This world is very similar to the species in his hometown, and the different cooking methods can also bring him some new tastes. One of Shade's most impressive dishes is "Cold Water Harbor Ice Fish", where the fish stew is served in a hot fish soup, but the fish belly is actually frozen cream, and the frozen cream is caviar.

The combination of cold and warm flavors and the umami of the fish brings out the flavors of fish, cream, caviar and soup.

Unfortunately, Shade doesn't like caviar, so he didn't like this dish.

Shade prefers white bread as a side dish to this complex fish. He has eaten so much bread in this world, but it was not until this time that he really tasted the taste of his hometown.

Seeing Shade's stunned expression by the light of the candlestick, Laccia thought something was wrong with the piece of bread, so she immediately asked the maid next to it to check the bread.

Shade shook his head so that the maid didn't have to come:
"Thank you very much, Laccia."

The Princess blinked, not knowing what Shade meant. But seeing the happy look on his face, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Shade has always been very secretive.

Midway through dinner, a hurried middle-aged man in Delarion Army uniform came in after knocking on the door. He lowered his head and handed Laccia a folded letter, then turned and left, not even looking at Shade from beginning to end.

Shade was not curious to inquire about other people's affairs, but Laccia took the initiative to tell Shade the content of the letter:
"It's a letter from Tobeske, father intends to meet Kasenrick next week. Sign a new trade contract to allow export of the previously regulated Type III special alloy. Oh, this special steel, the main material for steam cannon barrels and super-power steam engine pistons, although both countries can manufacture, Delarion's craftsmanship It's better."

While speaking, the middle-aged maid, Ms. Helsing, who was standing behind Lazia, handed Princess a box of matches. Lecia apologised to Shade, stood up and walked to the window, where the young maid who was standing beside Shade handed her a plate.

Lecia lit the letter paper in her hand with a lit match, then put it on a plate, and after confirming that all the letter paper was burnt to ashes, she turned back to the dining table.

She didn't say anything, and Shade didn't ask anything. Having the Cavendish surname brings more than just a noble birth, wealth and unimaginable power as an ordinary person, Shade understands.

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that among the ring warlocks I know, only Miss Galina has the most comfortable life."

[But she bears the curse of Demonness. ]

"She" whispered in Shade's ear, Shade was not nodding, shaking the grape juice in the wine glass:

"Sure enough, anyone's life is perfect. My current Life is good enough."

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Shade returned home, all wet. After dinner, Lecia wanted to stay with Shade a little longer to discuss the "little match girl" with her, but Shade was thinking about the cat at home, and Dorothy was still helping him with the housekeeping. It is not convenient for him to go back too late.

While walking up the stairs, Dorothy, who heard footsteps, stood above the second floor with Mia in her arms and looked down.

Seeing that Shade was back, Mia was very excited. She broke free from Miss Writer's hand, and then jumped down the stairs, but when she got close, she found that Shade was soaked all over, hesitating on the higher stairs, the cat actually turned around and went back along the stairs. , and was hugged by Goldilocks who couldn't help laughing:

"Good evening, Shade, look, your cat has no conscience. Oh, tell me, did you come from you? Swimming to Coldwater Harbor?"

"You guessed it."

Shade wiped her hair with the towel she had put on the shoe cabinet earlier:

"Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"Of course I did. Lecia told me that she would invite you to dinner. Your cat and I can only solve the problem of eating by ourselves."

"Mia isn't my cat yet."

Shade whispered and walked into the second-floor room with Dorothy.

She wasn't going to stay here any longer. It was getting dark. After simply packing up her personal items, Dorothy, who helped housekeeping, was about to leave.

But before leaving, she also said one thing:

"Do you know what Xiaomia likes to do when you leave her alone at home?"

"Probably sleeping on the couch?"

Shade guessed.

"No no, it was acting weird when I was at your house today."

The two stood in the foyer downstairs, and Shade planned to send Dorothy away again. To take a bath.

"What's wrong with it?"

Shade pointed upstairs and asked suspiciously:
"Is it suddenly able to fly? Suddenly talk? Or suddenly there is something extraordinary. Ability?"

He didn't forget that this cat once absorbed the power of divinity.

"Of course not, why do you think so? Xiaomia likes to go to the second room on the second floor."

That is the room where mass suicides once happened, and now it's still there. A room without any furniture.

"I don't know what it wants to do either. After I followed it in, I could only see it sniffing everywhere"

Goldilocks lowered her voice:

"Shade, you don't have mouse holes in your house, do you?"

"It's absolutely impossible, my kitchen can't even feed me and Mia, how can you keep mice? Besides, Doro Akane, do you really think that timid cat has the courage to go to trouble with mice?"

Dorothy thought for a while, and then laughed:

"Then No problem, oh, when are you going to go to Lazia next time and talk to her?"

"Go back on Monday, there is nothing for me to do over there at the moment. I still need 15 credits, even if I beat Evil God in Coldwater Harbor, I won't get a single point."

It's Wednesday night, and there are two and a half days until Saturday afternoon. Shade is not particularly flustered. Tomorrow, Augustus priest invites him to go on an adventure, and Iluna is coming back. He only needs to completely contain a relic of clerical level or above, and then pay for the mercury vial, 15 credits can be fully satisfied.

It's really not good, he can even ask Miss Galina for help, the generous Duchess will definitely be happy to do it.

And so on Thursday, Shade woke up half an hour earlier than usual, and when he got out of bed, he woke up the cat sleeping in a huddle beside the pillow, which made him very unhappy.

Today is the day Iluna returns from the Holy See of the Supreme Sun Cult, the long brown-haired girl's brave performance on the night of the Fall in Tobeysk, proving her status as the Chosen One. When returning to the Holy See this time, one is to accept the reward, and the other is for the Old Misters stationed in the Holy See to talk to her about the chosen ones.

The train was expected to arrive at Tobesque station at 7.30am, but since trains of this era would never be on time, Shade planned to leave earlier.

He finished his breakfast in a hurry. Seeing that the cat, who had a very punctual schedule, hadn't woken up, he put the cat food and goat's milk next to the dining table and let Mia eat it directly. Then grabbed the newspaper and jacket, and hurried out the door.

It rained only half a day in Tobesque yesterday, and even the road was completely dry this morning. Today is the first day of August. When Shade came to this world, it was the end of June. June is called the month of sunshine, and the next July is called the month of thunder, because there is more rain in July. . August also has a nice name, that is, the month of flowers.

This is the middle month of the year and the last month of summer. Flowers are most prosperous in August, and there are celebrations and customs throughout the old continent.

Of course, you can't see it in the city.

It was only 6:20 when I went out, but sitting on the carriage and holding the newspaper and looking out, the city was already lively. Underclassmen who are running around to support themselves and their families are not used to enjoying the morning like Shade, who has flexible working hours. In this progressive and crazy era, most of the achievements are actually achieved by these people who are used to seeing the city at five or six in the morning.

The carriage crossed the street where Shade was shot half a month ago, leaving Shade at the door of Tobesque station. Shade waited for a while at the door of the post office next to the station, and the purple-eyed fortune-teller arrived.

"Good morning, Shade!"

Hearing the greeting, Shade put down the newspaper in his hand and walked over with a smile.

"Is there any big news in the newspaper?"

Luvia seems to be in a good mood today, and she can't see the repercussions left by the divination the day before yesterday.

"No news in the newspapers. Mr. Mayor's speech, partial road repairs in the southeast part of Tobesque closed, Peace Church collects poems for Armistice Day. But there is news in Coldwater Harbor."

He raised his eyebrows.

"Does it have something to do with seafood?"

Luvia asked, and Shade pointed to the street-side restaurant that was already open:

"We can go here Talk about it, it can’t be explained in one or two sentences.”

When Iluna returned from the Holy See, her friends in the warlock squad would also come to pick her up, so Shade and Luvia , I had long agreed with Iluna to meet at the restaurant facing the street after she greeted her friends.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, in the early morning hours of leisure, strangers and fortune-tellers sat at the table by the window and talked about Shade's experience in Coldwater Harbor yesterday. Although the city is still foggy, it is still quite good compared to the rainy weather. Luvia listened carefully to Shade's speech, until at 7:20, a lot of people with luggage had endured the hardships of a long journey suddenly poured out from the station gate.

The two looked towards the window together:
"The train arrived early!"
