Chapter 1271 Action Plan and Dragon's Dinner

William Anjou spoke and pointed to the next door:
"Oxenfurt is next door. He just brought a more specific report from his subordinates who just came back. That's why I made up my mind. As for Oxenfurt himself, don't worry, he will give away all his wealth. Put it in, count the credit for discovering the open-pit mine, and then take [-]% of the shares."

The blonde girl pursed her lips and frowned slightly:
"Sounds good, but it's more and more like a trap. Speaking of which, I haven't asked you, how did you meet this Oxenfurt?"

"I met in Willendale in the summer of 1852. At that time, I was preparing gifts for my father's birthday. Oxenfurt took the initiative to find me and presented me with a small bronze statue. Yes, it is my father who is now on the bookshelf. This is a very capable person, although he is a little unscrupulous in doing things, but you should understand, Margaret, you can't do things with just people."

Margaret showed a mocking smile:
"Is that why he burned the warehouse last week and threw his prematurely killed enemies into the fire?"

Xia De in the cabinet frowned slightly. At that time, Oxenfurt said that there were no living people inside, but he didn't expect that to mean it.

"Margaret, do you really want to join this business? If you don't want to, I'm not the only brother or sister of yours."

William Anjou asked seriously, and Margaret stretched out a finger:
"Give me a week to think about it, and give me a copy of the silver mine information. This is not a small amount, I need time to think about it."

"No problem! Margaret, you know me. I can tell what is the bait and what is the fruit. Regarding Mr. Oxenfurt, I hope you will not have so many prejudices. If there is a chance, I can I will introduce you to each other at the banquet."

His Royal Highness smiled and left the room, Margaret sighed, and then came to the closet and opened the door:
"Have you heard it all? What do you think of it?"

In order to prevent herself from being locked in, Miya immediately broke free from Xia De's hand and slipped out of the cabinet.

"My personal opinion is, don't get involved."

Xia De shrugged and wanted to get out of the closet, it was too stuffy inside.

"Well, I didn't want to participate at first. My brother is really short-sighted sometimes. Even if there is such a large-scale mine, don't try to hide his little tricks from his father. However, the information of the mine is still very good. useful."

Her Royal Highness said decisively that although she had known Xia De for less than three months, she was quite aware of Xia De's abilities.

While talking, he pushed Xia De back into the closet, then wiped off his high heels, and stepped into the closet.The cabinet door closed, leaving only the surprised cat looking back at the shaking wardrobe:

"Meow?"

It tilted its head and barked, feeling as if it had made a wrong decision.

I had lunch with Margaret at noon, and in the afternoon, I took Mia to the Wilde Opera House to meet Miss Benanis, Miss Lathers and Luvia.

The four summarized their investigation results. Miss Benanis did not decipher new information from the notebook dug out of the wall, and Luvia only found information about the "Guardian" in the local prophet association. A few words with "Heart of the Earth", which is almost the same as an urban legend in short, is not even enough for Shad to activate the third Randall story of Mithril Cube.

But Miss Lathers has gained the most.

She re-examined the relics of Mr. Lathers, and found a lot of research materials about the "Guardian of Randall Valley", and she was convinced that this was a mysterious group established by local souls to silently guard the land. The first time the earth was saved without anyone knowing.

The power of a ring warlock is composed of two parts, the body and the soul. If the soul loses the body, even if it can still use extraordinary power, its strength must be greatly weakened, and every casting of a spell that breaks through the limit will consume the soul itself.

According to the research before Mr. Lassus's death, every time those "guardian" souls use the "power of the earth" to heal the crazy earth, they are most likely casting spells at the cost of the weakening of the soul itself.

The demise of the previous generation of guardians is most likely due to this reason, and it is clear that Mr. Lasers and Mr. Thomas Granger cannot last long in the face of more frequent emergencies since this winter.

"They won't choose you as the next guardian?"

Luvia and Xia De sat on the same sofa, and she asked Xia De worriedly, but Xia De thought it should not be:

"Their choices should be more inclined to local people. Besides, I have met them twice, but they have no intention of guiding me to find the truth. What's more, I don't want to sacrifice for it. I mean"

"There is no need to explain this, so what is the direction of the next investigation?"

Miss Bernice asked.

There are two directions for the next investigation. On the one hand, the father's relics found by Ms. Lassers contain the complete "search" process of Mr. Lasses's life.He has left his footprints in every corner of the Randall Valley, and the end point is the Church of the Forsaken.There are quite a few ambiguities in these accounts, so Ms. Lassus intends to walk her father's "path of discovery" again. Maybe when she also comes to the wall of the Forgotten Church, she will understand what is needed. how to meet father.

On the other hand, Xia De relied on his own face, and the records he found from the Cassandra Auction House were indeed useful.After examining the photos, Miss Benanis identified three of the lots as being related to the "Heart of the Earth".

"This ceramic vase, this statue, and this key."

From the 21 records Shade brought, she selected 3 and put them on the tea table.Xia De took the documents corresponding to the three photos to check the situation, and was very happy to find that when the three items were sold more than ten years ago, there were corresponding records, and the buyers were all locals.If you are lucky, you can find all these things in a few days.

"Should we search separately, or investigate together?"

Shad asked, and Miss Benanis thought for a moment:
"I will accompany Hillis to investigate the direction of Mr. Lassus. But you don't have to investigate alone. I will send people to investigate whether the three auction items are still in the hands of the buyers back then. Wait until the three items are confirmed. The location, you come to visit again."

The reason why they are not directly recovered is because these three items may contain clues directly left by Mr. Lassus, and it would be safer for Shade to handle them himself:
"If necessary, you can come to me for help. You can transfer all the ring magicians of the Golden Dawn. However, since what happened last weekend, the Orthodox Church in this diocese is very sensitive to all local affairs, so you'd better not get involved It’s very interesting to make too much noise, they think that you who appeared at that time were the Godcaller.”

Luvia on the side laughed:
"Whether Xia De is a Godcaller is as obvious as the hickey on his neck that has not faded."

Now Miss Bernice and Miss Lathers also smiled.

Xia De hurriedly pulled up his collar, but felt that this was even more ridiculous.So he picked up the cat that was taking a nap, and when the cat was sleepy and didn't know what happened, he "wrapped" the soft cat around his neck in front of him, as if turning it into a scarf.

The preliminary investigation of the three auction items will be done by the followers of Miss Benanis. It will take about a day or two to a week, so Xia De can relax a little during this period and go to other things in his hands.

For example, I went to meet the elf girl Emilia Sianod this evening.

In the "shopping list" she left for Shad, most of the items were in Shad's basement "freezer", and a few of them were bought in a trip to Lengshui Port.The work of delivering the goods in the evening was actually very simple, and he could do it alone, but Luvia still wanted to meet the unicorn again, so she also set off with Xia De.

The two still rode horses from the city to the outskirts, and set up camp at the place where they met last time.

When it was time to cook, Xia De stopped Luvia from getting up:
"I'll do it, I mean, I'll do it with my thaumaturgy. It was late last night when I got home, and I didn't use [Fiona's domestic servant] at number six, Plaza Saint Teresa."

Luvia watched curiously as Xia De took out a ruby ​​from his pocket:

"The red dragon is good at kitchen work, so the magic material is ruby."

He let Luvia, who was wearing a cloak against the cold, hold Mia, and then put all the ingredients into the prepared pot.

After throwing the ruby, Xia De activated the thaumaturgy and threw the ruby ​​in the direction of the bonfire.But it didn't hit the ground, and fell into the gushing white fog.The thick mist quickly enveloped the bonfire and the pot containing the food. Even Shad couldn't perceive what happened in the white mist at all.

It's just that this white mist is really familiar.

The casting process is not long, and the domestic servants are very fast.It took only 154 minutes and 7 seconds from the moment the ruby ​​with an estimated value of 23 pounds left his hand until the white mist dispersed again.And when the light of the bonfire re-illuminated the two people and the cat on the side, a sumptuous dinner had already appeared on a stone dining car made of local materials.

The bowls and plates were full of delicacies, using ingredients far beyond what Shard provided.At the same time, there was an extra note in the corner of the dining car. It was handwritten in an unknown language. After identification, it was very likely to be Dragon Language:

[I hope you enjoy this dinner, and you don’t have to bring your own ingredients next time.The ruby ​​is beautiful and I could serve you three more meals. 】

Behind it is a playful hand-painted stick figure smiling face. The price of the domestic servant Red Dragon is surprisingly high, but the character is much more lively than Xia De thought.
