Sherlock was stunned, seeing someone cutting in line, and shrugged, not wanting to be angry.
Unexpectedly, the person who jumped in line turned around and looked at him actively. He looked at him with a pair of amber eyes, smiled and said, "Sherlock, right?"
Sherlock stiffened slightly and took half a step back calmly, feeling a little wary. As far as he knew, almost no one at this banquet knew him.
"Are you..." Sherlock asked cautiously.
"You don't need to know who I am, as long as you know that I know who you are, that's all." The other party whispered.
After hearing this, Sherlock's eyes flickered and he said, "What you said is a bit hard to pronounce. My name is indeed Sherlock, but I really don't know you. Have you admitted it wrong?"
"I won't admit it. Not only do I know your name is Sherlock, but I also know your full name is Sherlock Melrose, and you come from the Southern Free Federation." The other party whispered.
Sherlock shook his hand and became very nervous. He looked at the other party and almost jumped up. He guessed: "You... are you sent by the family to take me back?"
"That's not true." The other party smiled, "Don't worry, looking for you today has nothing to do with your family's affairs. Your family's people are currently looking for you in several capitals of the Soma Alliance. They can't find you here for the time being. You It's safe."
"Then you?" Sherlock was slightly confused, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you because I want you to do me a favor. Please send a letter to your friend."
"who?"
"Wizard Richard."
"Well… "
The other party handed a letter to Sherlock, sipped the wine in his mouth, and said: "Please tell Wizard Richard, our lord, that you want to meet him. If Wizard Richard asks who we are, Just tell him that we are spider webs.
If Wizard Richard asks why we need to meet, just say that our adult feels that some things are not easy to accomplish just by talking in words. That’s it, have a nice dinner! "
After the other party finished speaking, he sipped the wine again and left with the cup in hand.
Seeing the other party walking into the crowd, Sherlock put away the letter and cursed: "Isn't it just to send a letter? Why do you make it so scary?" Believe it or not, there will be retribution, maybe you will fall while walking...
"Snapped!"
Before Sherlock could finish his thoughts, he saw the other person walking more than ten meters away. He tripped and fell to the ground, attracting the attention of many people around him.
However, the other party also reacted sharply. He didn't let the wine in his hand slip away. He expressionlessly grabbed a women's earring on the ground and said, "I don't know which lady lost it. She must be very sad." Well, the property should be returned to its original owner as quickly as possible. Waiter!"
The other party shouted in a low voice, smiled apologetically at the surroundings, and strode away into the distance. In the process, he glanced at Sherlock with some confusion and suspicion.
Sherlock lowered his head feeling guilty, picked up two glasses of wine, and walked away quickly.
Walking to the little maid Lucia, she handed over the wine glass with some worry.
Lucia answered the question, glanced at Sherlock, and asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Well, it's nothing, I just thought of something." Sherlock said vaguely, "Forget it, it's nothing important, let's watch the fireworks."
"Oh." The little maid replied, looking up to the sky.
"Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang!"
At this time, several consecutive colorful lights rose into the sky and exploded, turning into gorgeous fireworks.
…
…
Two days later in the afternoon.
Richard followed Jasmine and her group and appeared on the shore of a large lake in the middle of the Soma Alliance.
Looking toward the center of the lake, Richard saw a vast expanse of blue, with no edge visible at all. It was obvious that the lake was very large.
"This is Lake Moro, the second largest lake in the Soma Alliance and the third largest lake in the entire continent." Jasmine said.
After hearing this, Richard nodded and asked, "The ruins are in the lake?"
"It's true, but it's not." Jasmine pretended to be mysterious and said, "You'll understand when we get here."
After speaking, he jumped up and flew towards the center of the lake with his men. Richard spread his hands to follow.
This flyby covered a total of more than ten kilometers. Looking around, everything was filled with lake water, which was no different from being in the sea. At this time, a large island appeared directly in front, covering an area of almost hundreds of square kilometers. It was somewhat narrow and long in shape. From the side, it looked like a plump woman lying on the water.
Jasmine took the lead and descended, landing on the forehead of the "Women's Island".
"This is one of the dozens of islands in Lake Moro. It has no official name, but some fishermen think it is the incarnation of a mysterious goddess, so it is called 'God Island'." Jasmine said, "For this reason, out of awe, , few people set foot on this island, resulting in many animals.”
While he was talking, a large group of fox-like animals appeared on the branches nearby. But they were all standing upright, with black eye sockets, as if they had stayed up for three days and three nights, and their crescent-shaped ears were constantly swinging, which was a bit cute and silly. He looked at Richard and his group curiously, jumping up and down.
"Ignore them." Jasmine said to Richard, "The creatures on this island all look strange, but they are almost not aggressive. We can just continue to go deeper into the island."
"So, the ruins are in the center of the island?" Richard asked.
"You'll know when we get here." Jasmine said. Without saying anything, she flew towards the depths of the island, and the others followed.
…
After a while, everyone reached the depths of the island. Richard estimated the position of the "woman's" lower abdomen, and a lake appeared in front of him.
This lake is naturally incomparable with Lake Moro, but it is not too small, covering more than ten square kilometers.
After seeing the lake, Richard wisely did not ask if the ruins were in the lake, because he noticed that there was a bulge in the middle of the lake, which was obviously another small island.
Sure enough, after a while, Jasmine took the lead and headed to the island in the middle of the lake.
On the island in the center of the lake, there is a pond of thousands of square meters, with an earth platform on the pond.
A huge boulder on the earth platform was moved away, and the stone slab was lifted up, revealing a dark well.
Jasmine pointed and said seriously: "This is where the ruins are."
Richard: "..." I don't know what to say anymore. To put it into perspective, the entrance to this ruins is a well on an earthen platform in a pond on an island in a lake on the mainland.
This is even more convoluted than a tongue twister. No wonder Jasmine didn't state her address all at once before. She probably felt that she couldn't explain it clearly. If others had to guess, they would never be able to guess it.
This also reflects the value of Jasmine.
It may not seem like much on the surface that one person can master the addresses of so many ancient ruins and a large amount of internal information, but if he develops it with concentration, he may be able to develop it to an astonishing degree.
This should be Jasmine's confidence in regaining her confidence.
It's just that the other party seems a little too impatient and not patient enough.
Richard thought silently.
