"He's using bones? So what am I going to do?"
Father Augustus thought for a moment:
"The gift I gave you, which has been integrated into your badge, can suppress the skeleton power of the 'Angel of Death' other than me at close range. But this may not be enough... How about this, you investigate it more carefully. If you can determine the location of the skeleton, I can go to the Green Lake area."
Seeing that Xia De wanted to object, the priest reminded him:
"I have completed the ceremony of promotion to the third ring, don't underestimate me. And I haven't used my vacation time at the church this year, so it's easy to take a week or two off. Green Lake City is not very close to us, but doesn't it have a steam train? This era is really great."
Shade was actually more worried about the priest and the doctor running into each other:
"Well... okay, then you just get ready, and I'll continue investigating. Maybe I can bring the bones back by myself... Oh, if I'm accidentally sent into real death again..."
"It's unlikely, but if you're really unlucky, even if your nun friend can't find you, I can still bring you back."
Now that Sister Defulin was mentioned, Shade thought of another thing:
"Priest, are you free tomorrow morning? I have an appointment with Sister Defulin to go to the Three Cats Inn tomorrow morning to meet the soul of Rust Edwards. The little girl's soul may contain Edwards' secrets. This is also one of the few ways to get in touch with Edwards' secrets in the outside world except for that island."
The priest nodded:
"No problem, see you tomorrow morning then."
Shade had already asked Miss Carina to tell Sister Defulin about the meeting tomorrow morning at the banquet last night. So after leaving the Dawn Church, he immediately returned home to change clothes, as he had something very important to do later.
“There is so much to do today.”
The negotiations on the Pantanal border and trade routes have fermented to the present, and in the eyes of the people, they have become the most important diplomatic event after the peace between the North and the South. Before setting off, Shade thought that the train station would be very busy today, but he was still surprised that the carriage was blocked two streets away from the train station in the northern district of Tobesk.
Little Mia was not brought out at home, so Dorothy set out with Leicia in advance and met up with Shad at the train station, so Shad was the only one in the carriage. The driver saw that the carriage could not move forward and had to let Shad walk the rest of the way by himself, but even so, it was not easy to move forward in the crowded and shouting crowd.
Xia De even felt that half of the city's people had gathered in this neighborhood today. Since he came to this world, except for the year-end festival, he had never seen so many people on the street.
I had originally thought of finding a deserted place to turn into a cat, on the roof near the train station, but finding a deserted place nearby was even more difficult than moving forward. People shouted loudly, such as "Long live Delarion", "Sacred territory is inviolable", "The great Cavendish family will lead us to defeat the old South", and crowded together to move forward. The police and officers who were specially dispatched to maintain order could only barely ensure that there would be no trampling or other problems.
Although Shade arrived a little late, luckily he was still good. On the central road reserved for royal carriages, a carriage guarded by royal guards soon arrived. The three princesses who were younger than Ajelina recognized Shade in the crowd and asked the attendants to pick him up.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness Alice, Your Highness Elena, and Your Highness Anastasia."
The three little princesses giggled and let Shad sit down in the carriage. They talked to him about Ajelina who was about to set off with Miss Carina. They also said that Shad and Lecia seemed very familiar, and they were quite interested in Shad.
In short, although it took some trouble, Shad still entered the Tobysk railway station which was under martial law at around five o'clock.
First, he met with several princesses, including Resia and Dorothy. After a few pleasantries, he was called away by the maids led by Tifa.
The red-haired Duchess had already taken her seat in her carriage. The luxurious decoration made it more like a well-decorated manor living room than a carriage, but it was a little smaller.
She will need to give a speech to the people together with His Majesty the King in a while, and now she is being interviewed by a very beautiful young female reporter.
Seeing Xia De coming, the witch raised her hand to indicate that the interview could be stopped for a while. The reporter picked up her pen and paper and stood up to leave. When she passed Xia De, she gave him an interested look.
"Train travel would be boring."
Except for Tifa, all the maids left the carriage together. The witch gave Shade a hug, then hugged him and sat on the sofa:
"If I hadn't gone to Green Lake with a public identity, it would have been more convenient to have Sylvia open a portal."
She complained in dissatisfaction, and her tone sounded a bit like she was acting coquettishly.
“How many days will it take to arrive?”
Shade then asked, and Tifa answered the question:
"Because this is a special train transporting a delegation, the train will be running at a reduced speed for safety reasons. In addition, it will stop in two major cities temporarily to allow the young lady to give speeches there. If nothing goes wrong, it will arrive in Green Lake City on Wednesday night or Thursday morning next week."
"That is, around the lunar eclipse at the end of the month?"
"Yeah, yeah, about four days of boring train travel, that was pretty damn annoying."
The witch put her head close to Shade's neck and took a deep breath:
"If I hadn't thought about teasing Audrey after arriving in Green Lake City, I might have been even more listless."
"Um... ... "
"I know you don't want to embarrass her. Don't worry, I know my limits."
She said this with a smile, but the more she said it, the more worried Shade became.
"Don't think about Audrey. I can probably rest for half an hour. I have to go out for a speech in half an hour. Before that, Shad, is there anything I should do to say goodbye to me?"
She blinked at Xia De, her golden eyes were quite beautiful:
"Perhaps you have noticed that you haven't come to see me in the past week."
With a wave of her hand, Tifa also left the carriage. Shad heard the sound of the door being locked - it was the first time he knew that the door of this carriage could be locked from the outside, and then he had to face the passionate witch:
"It's only half an hour, so just treat it as dessert. When I get to Green Lake City, you can't fail to come find me."
Shade had been busy in the morning and afternoon, and was not idle in the evening. After spending half an hour saying goodbye to the beautiful witch, while the Duchess went to give a speech to reporters and "citizen representatives" with His Majesty the King, Shade thought he could take a break, but when he sat on the slightly messy sofa and buttoned his shirt, he looked up and saw the black-haired head maid who walked into the carriage quietly.
She blinked her smiling eyes and locked the door from the inside of the carriage this time:
"Knight, would you like to say goodbye?"
The gentle farewell was impressive, but it was only a private farewell. Before the train departed, Shad brought his female companion Dorothy to say a formal farewell to Miss Carina and Ajelina.
Queen Diana was beside Shad, she hugged Ajelina worriedly and told Miss Carina to take good care of her. Ajelina's brothers and sisters did not show any special reaction to this scene. It was obvious that the queen's slight preference for Ajelina was not the first time she showed it.
"In this way, today's matter is finally over."
These were the thoughts of Xia De, who had been busy all day, as the train slowly started to move and people waved goodbye to the train.
But then Dorothy whispered in Shad's ear:
"We met last night at 7:10 after the banquet started. There is still more than an hour before the Red Butterfly Day ends. Knight, Leisia said, meet at home later. She has already prepared dinner and sent it to your home."
All in all, this was probably the busiest Saturday that the stranger had experienced since coming into this world, but it was also quite fulfilling.
Since it was Saturday night, it was also Dorothy and Resia's teaching time as usual. Therefore, five minutes before the Red Butterfly Day officially ended, Shade, who was holding Resia and Dorothy tenderly, mentioned the study plan for tonight.
This surprised the two girls:
"You're actually still thinking about studying at this time... Xia De, we really underestimated you."
"What do you mean by looking down on me?"
"Don't worry, there are still five minutes. Time flies so fast. If I hadn't had to send Carina and Ajelina off, there would have been more time."
At around seven o'clock, after kissing Lesia goodbye in the hallway, Shad returned to the second floor and continued studying with Dorothy.
Because at the end of the seven-day trip, Shade got a hint about "two-in-one" from the God of Journey, so he was very interested in learning "Clock Tower Lovers". In addition to class, he and Dorothy speculated about what would happen if two different individuals merged with each other.
"I can understand the superposition of powers, but what will the appearance become?"
Shad asked the question and immediately thought of the "Twin Lovers" card.
"Don't think so terribly. Aren't the Red Butterfly sisters Grace and Helen the best examples?"
The writer reminded, then said with a smile:
"I'm actually curious, if Leicia and I become one person, would you feel fresh when you spend the night with us?"
"you... ... "
"I know, I was just kidding. We've already learned enough lessons last time. I don't want to be punished by you again."
She kissed Shade gently:
"Never again."
