Chapter 2377 The whereabouts of [Star Sword Stone]
"The Priory of the Guiding Light?"
Xia De turned his gaze away from the thick soup in front of him in surprise:
"I know this person. I have an acquaintance. I will just investigate."
"In this way, the matter falls on you again."
Miss Sylvia said softly, and Shade shook his head indifferently, and brought up a new topic:
"Ms. Sylvia, have you seen Emilia's Ocarina of Time? The power of that sword is very interesting."
"It's interesting, but I don't have a talent for time, and I'm not an elf from the Moon Creek Clan. That relic is not suitable for me."
She looked at Emilia again:
"The power of this sword is too dangerous for you. You are not Shade. If it is not necessary, try not to pull it out of the tree."
Emilia nodded quickly, and Miss Sylvia looked at Margaret again:
"In addition to the things that Shade asked you to investigate and handle your daily affairs, don't forget the tasks that Vanessa assigned to you. Vanessa has high expectations of you. Now that you have become a witch apprentice, you must understand the change in your identity and don't think of yourself as an ordinary girl. Look at Tifa, Matilda, Rita, and Hayley. They are all your targets."
"Yes, Miss Sylvia."
She nodded seriously, and then when Miss Sylvia turned her head to talk to Xia De, she winked at Xia De playfully.
During lunch, Ajelina seemed a little unhappy, but Shad had to concentrate on the bowl of strange-tasting soup in front of him, so he didn't find a chance to talk to her.
Fortunately, Margaret could see that Shad was not interested in the bowl of soup, so she cleverly arranged for the servant to replace Shad's soup bowl while continuing to serve the dishes.
After lunch, Shade talked to Ajelina. The little princess and Shade sat on the sofa in the study, the former grabbing her skirt:
"I was very excited when I first came to Moon Bay. Later, I ate and played with Emilia and found this life very interesting. But now it seems that everyone has something to do, and I am the only one who is useless. Even little Lianna is more useful than me."
"But Leicia didn't ask you to come to Moon Bay to go to the battlefield like other girls. She knew you only had one ring, and she just wanted you to experience the dangers of this era.
In fact, you are always willing to help everyone with various chores, and you don’t act like a princess, and you never complain that the living conditions here are not as good as those in Yodel Palace. This is already very remarkable in my opinion. After all, this is the first time you have left your elders and sister to travel far away. "
Xia De said, but Ajelina still didn't feel happy:
"You are always good at comforting others. Sister and Princess Margaret are who I want to be. They are amazing."
"But you're not their age either."
Xia De gently patted Ajelina's shoulder:
"Don't always envy what others have, think more about what you have."
"I"
The little red-haired princess looked down at herself, then bit her lip lightly:
“I’m younger than them.”
"Yes, but you should only say this to me, and never in front of Leicia."
"I know, but I would rather grow up quickly and take on responsibilities like my sisters. Being younger than them is not a good thing, but I don't think becoming mature is a bad thing."
This is probably the leisure time of young people. After all, during breakfast, Lecia was still discussing the topic of "returning to the age of 18" with Miss Carina at the dining table.
“Who says being young has no benefits?”
Xia De asked again, and Ajelina looked at him:
"What's the benefit? I can't do anything my sister can do."
Xia De smiled and looked at his reflection in her eyes:
"Lecia, you didn't meet me when you were your age. But when you were seventeen, you held my hand and talked to me."
Ajelina's face turned red, and she pursed her lips and looked away embarrassedly, not looking into Shade's eyes:
"Really? I can't let my sister hear this, otherwise I'll just forget it. Xia De, I'm so glad to meet you. You're so nice."
She immediately hugged Xia De's neck and kissed him passionately.
So, soon after, Emilia was very confused as to why Ajelina suddenly became so happy.
The two of them were pruning the fast-growing branches of the potted tree at the second-floor window. Shad said hello to them and went to say goodbye to Miss Margaret and Sylvia, planning to go back to Tobesk first.
"Why are you so happy?"
The elf girl still couldn't help her curiosity, but Ajelina smiled and shook her head, but she didn't say anything:
"This is my secret. Can this sword really stop time?"
She looked at the sword stuck in the tree and nodded slightly:
"Of course you can, but I don't know how to use it. By the way, did you know that Shade can stop time on his own? I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else."
The little princess nodded, and they both lowered their voices:
"My sister also mentioned this to me. Time pause~ Did Shade use it on you?"
Emilia blushed immediately:
"What are you thinking? He is just testing the power of this sword."
"If you don't think the same as me, how do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Oh, Ajelina!"
On the other hand, Shad, who had lost his crystal slipper and returned home temporarily, wanted to talk to Old John, but when he got home, he found that although Carina and Dorothy were not at home, the maid gave him a very thick file bag:
"This was delivered personally by Director Dark Anros of MI6 around ten o'clock in the morning."
Only then did Shad realize that his plan to entrust MI6 to help investigate the cultists' bank accounts might have yielded some results.
Of course, he did not open it and check the contents immediately, but chose to visit Old John first.
There were not many customers in the pawnshop on Sunday afternoon. When Xia De entered the door, the old man behind the counter was wearing a special monocular magnifying glass and observing an emerald in his hand.
Hearing the voice and looking up to see that it was Xia De, Old John said in surprise:
"You don't usually come to my place on a weekend afternoon? What would you like to buy, Detective?"
"The Secret Keeper-level relic [Star Sword Stone], I heard that this relic is in your hands."
Shade didn't beat around the bush, so Old John was even more surprised:
"How do you know it's in our hands? Yes, it is indeed with us. That relic can realize the fixed production of special metals. It is an important doomsday reserve material. It is also one of the more important relics in the list of the monastery. Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, this is not for sale?"
"Detective, there is nothing in this world that is not for sale. If the price is high enough, this can certainly be traded, but what do you want it for?"
The old man carefully looked at Xia De's expression and asked again without hesitation:
"I know you must be in Moon Bay, so don't tell me that this has anything to do with the Chosen One Ceremony."
Telling the truth would mean a higher price or even the other party not selling it, but Xia De still nodded:
"It's just a suspicion, but I'm not the chosen one, don't get me wrong."
"You are really honest, but since you are willing to tell the truth, I will not lie to you. This relic is not in Tobesk, but in Moon Bay.
I can't tell you exactly how to sell it, it depends on your negotiation with the other party. I'll tell you the address, but the sale of such important materials requires the signatures of at least three core members of the monastery. I can sign for you, but you still have to find someone else.
Don’t you have a way to teleport? I’ll tell you two more addresses. Go find them. They are all my friends and will not make things difficult for you.”
Shade asked:
"Mr. Edmund of Coldwater Harbor, and Granny Natalie of Green Lake, do they count?"
Old John raised his eyebrows:
"You still know them? Is it possible that a stubborn old fellow like Edmund would be willing to be friends with you?"
But he didn't express too much emotion:
"Of course. I'll write you a letter, and you give it to them, and they'll just sign it for you. Then you can take the letter to Yuewan to find someone, but whether the deal can be made in the end depends on you. But I'm not worried, after all, you're the best at persuading others."
He found the letter paper and his seal and began to write. Xia De asked again:
"They agreed to help me so easily. Does the Priory really not care about the Chosen One? Almost everyone wants the Chosen One to belong to their own side now."
Old John didn't even raise his head:
"It doesn't matter who the chosen one is. What matters is that the chosen one is beneficial to civilization. You have to understand, detective, we can't choose the chosen one, so just wait patiently. When the matter in Yuewan is over, if you are willing to tell me the story of the chosen one, it will be the best reward for me."
With Old John's letter, Shade went to Coldwater Harbor and Green Lake again. Mr. Edmund and Grandma Natalie from Kingfisher Tailor Shop signed their names after reading the letter. The only thing Shade was worried about was the situation in Moon Bay. After all, even if the other party and Old John belonged to the Light Guiding Order, Shade was not familiar with the member of Moon Bay at all.
Because the previous things went smoothly, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon when Xia De returned to Yuewan.
The members of the Guiding Light Hermitage seem to like to run the black market in their own place of residence, and the old man Chekov, whom Shade is going to visit this time, is the same. He lives on Sybil Street in the lower city of the southern part of Moon Bay, which is next to Herring Street where Shade is looking for the "Hope Diamond". The two streets are completely parallel.
Mr. Chekov runs a used bookstore, which certainly doesn't make a lot of money in the downtown area, but it also has customers. When the coroner Mr. Albert introduced the local black market to Shade, he also mentioned this place, but because it is very small, Shade has never been here.
