Whispering Verse

Shade originally just wanted to chat with Miss Sylvia for a few words and then return to the banquet. After all, Mr. Bernhardt was still waiting for him, and he also wanted to get more local news from the "local bats".

But when it comes to their respective incomes, the topic seems to be unstoppable. Although Miss Sylvia is a classy and elegant lady, like Shade, she is also troubled by the lack of a stable income that can be earned normally.

As ring magicians, the two of them often receive large amounts of unexpected income, but they both prefer the kind of income that is very stable every week, although the income is small at one time.

During the chat, Miss Sylvia once again confirmed that Shade came to this city for the "Goddess of the Lake", so the young witch proposed to help Shade do some divination. She is not a witch who is good at divination, but she does have certain divination abilities.

Shade is still using the divination cards that he is more familiar with, but Miss Sylvia's divination process is to ask Shade to randomly write three two-digit numbers, average the three numbers, round off the decimals, and then start from that stack. Count the cards represented by numbers from the top of the fortune telling deck.

Take out this card and the adjacent four cards above and below, for a total of 9 cards. Calculate according to today's date and the current time, and finally only three cards remain. Shade randomly selected one of the last three cards. This complex but interesting divination method also interested Shade very much, so he curiously chose the middle one.

Miss Sylvia turned over the card. On the card was a clown with a red nose, holding a red cardboard box wrapped in a ribbon. Shade blinked and looked at the red-nosed clown's clown hat, feeling filled with emotion for a moment.

"Ouija cards - unexpected gifts, good omens."

The witch smiled and said to Shade:

"The meaning of this card is that the answer you are pursuing may not be found in the direction you are looking for. But when you turn around by chance, you find that the answer has appeared beside you at some point. The card corresponds to the full silver moon. , the moon phase in which the yellow moon is waning and the red moon is waning, belongs to the 23 o'clock position of Spring in the constellation of the Clown in the astrology, so diviners consider it to be a better divination result."

"With me?"

Shade looked around, but of course he didn't find divinity under the soft sofa cushions:

"Then I hope I can find the answer as soon as possible, although I don't have much hope..."

Dong Dong Dong~

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Shade immediately closed his mouth, and Miss Sylvia frowned and looked at the door:

"It's Margaret. It seems the speech is over. Time flies so fast."

She was a little dissatisfied with the conversation being interrupted:

"Margaret will stay in the banquet hall before boarding the airship tonight. After all, this is her farewell dinner. Come to me now, probably to discuss the departure time. Shade, please stay away for a while. "

"OK."

Shade turned his head and looked around the room, then took a fancy to the wardrobe in the corner. Hiding in the bathroom was risky, but Shade was sure no one would open the closet.

He stood up and was about to walk over, but after thinking for a moment, he took out Lecia's prank note with the sentence "Purple Cabbage" written on it, and casually threw it on the red carpet between the sofa and the coffee table:

"Please help me explain later. This note was there before you entered the room."

"no problem."

Miss Sylvia didn't ask any more questions, and then watched Shade hurriedly run to the closet. After confirming that the closet door was closed, he signaled his maid to open the door.

Outside the door, it turned out to be Princess Margaret, dressed up and wearing a silver crown:

"teacher."

She stood at the door and greeted, and then walked in with her servants. After walking to the sofa, the first thing I saw was the fortune-telling cards placed on the table and the half-drunk cup of black tea:

"Teacher, did you have guests just now?"

She asked curiously, and Miss Sylvia nodded:

"Yes, very important guest."

The princess sat down, then blinked. She clearly felt that there was still warmth on the sofa, which meant that the so-called guest had not left when she knocked on the door. He looked into the room very covertly, and then felt that the bathroom and wardrobe were both possible, but even the guests that Miss Sylvia valued were most likely in the bathroom.

"I hope I didn't disturb you."

Margaret Anjou said softly. Seeing Miss Sylvia shaking her head, she felt relieved. She knew how great her nominal tutor was.

Just as he was about to talk about taking a carriage to the steam airship after the banquet, he found a note lying under his feet:

"Huh? What is this?"

The maid picked up the note with the back facing up for the princess, and Miss Sylvia said:

"After I entered this room, I didn't sit where you are now. The guest just now probably saw it, but she didn't pick it up. It's not important after all."

Princess Margaret curiously took the note, but her expression changed drastically after just one glance.

"What's wrong?"

Miss Sylvia asked curiously. The princess pursed her lips tightly, then put the note away:

"nothing."

She looked very ugly, but she still didn't want to talk to Miss Sylvia anymore to prevent the past events from many years ago from damaging her impression in Miss Sylvia's mind.

"Teacher, can you tell me the fortune teller? The origin of this note is that it was left by the servant who was cleaning the room."

The princess whispered, and Miss Sylvia nodded:

"There are two unopened cards on the table. Please open them."

The princess with long pale golden hair carefully opened the first card, which showed the number six.

"Divining card-spiritual number 6?"

Miss Sylvia is interested:

"I am best at dismantling spiritual numbers. Margaret, please wait a moment and let me do the math for you."

"No, teacher, you said...does this mean MI6?"

Margaret Anjou asked with an ugly face. Miss Sylvia wanted to laugh but had to hold back:

"Yes, it's possible. After all, Delarian's agents are indeed very good... Open the other one as well."

The princess nodded and opened another one. On it was an eagle standing high on the cliff.

"The eagle on the top of the mountain indicates that your ambition will continue to expand, but this will not lead to bad results."

Miss Sylvia explained again, but Princess Margaret of Anjou stared at the cards uneasily, and took a long breath after at least half a minute:

"Teacher, the card is a gray eagle."

"Yes, this version of the divination cards, [Mountaintop Eagle] has a gray eagle on the card, while the one I used before showed twin bald eagles..."

The witch looked at her student curiously:

"You don't think that this card means that the note appearing here is related to our legendary agent, right?"

Princess Margaret nodded hard:

"I ventured to Fort Midhill in the fall and actually met Mr. Gray Eagle. Yes, I'm pretty sure it was him. He completed that difficult mission and even helped me lure away MI6. . I tried to win over him, but he has not contacted my people in Tobesk. This gentleman does not seem to be easy for me to win over.”

"Actually, I'm just not short of money at the moment, so I didn't go get the 1,000 pounds."

Shade in the closet thought to himself, sincerely admiring Miss Sylvia's divination ability. The fortune tellers in this world are always able to obtain extremely accurate results, but the problem is that most of the time the interpretation of those results is in the wrong direction. But this time, Princess Margaret got it completely right.

"I probably understand."

The princess held the note tightly in her hand:

"Mr. Gray Eagle has definitely been in Huntington before this party. He and MI6 fought many battles in the shadows that I don't even know about. While I rested, read, and socialized, I carried out interviews with missions related to the regiment.”

She unfolded the crumpled note:

"This note appears now, in front of me. I can't imagine how many complicated and dangerous stories happened in it."

It wasn't really complicated, Shade just threw it on the carpet.

"I can't imagine how much conspiracy there was surrounding this note."

In fact, there was no conspiracy, it was just that Lesia was dissatisfied that her date time was being taken up and wanted to "retaliate" against the princess of the Kingdom of Kasonlik.

"What you said makes sense. It sounds like the Grey-Headed Eagles in the Gray Glove organization are really capable."

Shade in the closet was very impressed that Miss Sylvia, who was speaking at this time, did not laugh out loud.

"Teacher, I believe that my judgment is not wrong. I have already planned to win over this ace agent, and even asked my father to give an order to Gray Gloves, so that the Gray Eagle, who was originally in the incubation period, would secretly protect me during this visit. "

"I do not know how?"

Shade thought in the darkness of the closet, and then realized that the order would not arrive so soon, but he would probably receive that strange letter again soon.

"Since that gentleman was able to appear in front of me at Fort Midhill, I believe he will also appear in Tobesk. At that time, we will be able to determine whether there is any connection between him and the military behind this note. Sixth Division’s struggle.”

Princess Margaret said firmly, convinced that her judgment was correct. Moreover, she also planned to hand the note to the gentlemen from Gray Gloves accompanying the visiting delegation. Maybe someone from MI6 had been placed in the visiting delegation.

Because of their discussion, Shade knew immediately that Baron Lewis, who was nominally the accompanying secretary in the visiting group, was actually the leader of the Gray Gloves team. Therefore, even before the delegation arrived in Tobesk, Shade had already made contributions to Director Anlos, who appreciated him very much.

Of course, Shade will not tell MI6 this news directly, at least not yet, after all, he is not really a Delarian. Although he receives a salary from MI6, he is also favored by Detective Sparrow.

Therefore, this time he still wants to achieve a "win-win" situation similar to the one where players in the big city pass information during the period.

【Do you want to win twice more? 】

"Her" laughter came to my ears.

"Of course not, Gray Gloves and MI6 all win."

Shade hid in the darkness and whispered in his heart.
