The Whispering Verses Chapter 1060: The anchor of civilization

"Don't go back to Delrayon again."

Shad stood by the wooden ladder to board the ship and said to the two people in the night, but he did not refuse their action of paying. This is what he deserves:

"I originally wanted to charge you a total of 100 pounds, but just give me 60. You have to find a job again and continue to study art. There is a lot of money."

"Sir, I really don't know how to thank you."

Mr. Ferlinga stood in the night and said, finally giving the sewer drawings to Shade. He would never come back in this life, and these drawings were of no use to him.

"Sir...I don't ask for forgiveness...I am really...loyal..."

Although she was talking to Shade, Miss Brown was actually looking at Princess Margaret behind Shade. The princess stood in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the lights on the ship.

Miss Brown was choked up and speechless. Seeing this, Shade urged:

"Go quickly, go quickly, we finally got here, don't..."

Suddenly there was a bright light in the distance. Shade turned his head suddenly and saw a group of people holding kerosene lamps approaching in this direction, and the leader seemed to be Director Anlos.

Everyone else on the pier also looked at the group of people approaching along the street along the river.

"MI6! The leader seems to be..."

The maid behind the princess whispered. Princess Margaret subconsciously looked at Shade, and that beautiful face was revealed from under the cloak.

"Don't worry."

Xia De said in a deep voice, and then immediately urged:

"Miss Brown, Mr. Feringa, you get on the boat first."

Then he turned around and walked towards the people who were getting closer:

"Your Highness, don't move here, leave everything to me."

He took off his hat and trotted off the trestle. Mr. Ferringa immediately boarded the ship with his luggage, while Miss Brown, who was standing behind, turned to look at the silent princess for the last time:

"Sorry."

Marguerite Anjou lowered her head and said nothing at all. Miss Brown bit her lip, and was finally pulled up the wooden ladder by Mr. Ferlinga.

On the other side, Shade had already approached a group of people approaching. The leader was indeed Director Anlos. Several people behind him wanted to raise their guns, but were stopped by Director Anlos who recognized Shad:

"Oh, why are you here?"

He did not call out Sha De's name. Sha De waved to his boss, then took two steps forward with him, and the two talked alone.

Xia De lowered his voice and pointed at the figure of the princess on the trestle:

"Mr. Anlos, what happened?"

Not waiting for Director Anlos to explain, Shade said:

"That one over there, Margaret Anjou, I went out with her to relax. We... um... she took the initiative to ask me out."

The middle-aged man looked at Xia De suspiciously, and Xia De smiled sheepishly:

"Well, she has a batch of smuggled goods that she needs to check for final inspection. It's on that ship. It's local tobacco. It's just a matter of course to come out with me for a walk."

"It seems that you have completed your Majesty's mission well."

Director Anlos looked at the hooded figure on the trestle from a distance. After Shade's reminder, he also saw that it was Princess Margaret. Of course, at this time, the best choice is to pretend you haven’t seen it:

"There is nothing going on tonight. A defected agent has returned to Tobesk. We suspect that she is related to Gray Gloves."

He did not doubt that Shad or Princess Margaret would help the former maid. The former had nothing to do with this matter, and the latter was even a victim:

"Don't stay out for too long tonight."

Director Anlos said:

"I am leading people to search along the river. After all, it is unlikely that she wants to leave by train."

"Why would you personally lead a search team for such a thing?"

Xia De asked curiously. Director Anlos is the chief of MI6. He usually does not participate in direct operations.

"After all, it is the end of the year, and the Sixth Branch has to accept His Majesty's assessment and year-end bonus evaluation."

He sighed, looking like a middle-aged man running around for a living:

"So I have to show something. After all, it's the end of the year, and His Majesty is still watching at the Yodel Palace."

Xia De nodded with understanding:

"It's not easy."

Director Anlos patted Shade on the shoulder:

"Princess Margaret will be leaving next week, and your mission is still a week away. I hope that **** gray eagle can show up."

He waved to the others behind him:

"Next dock."

So the team turned around and continued searching for other boats downstream.

Xia De said goodbye to Director Anlos, and after confirming that the group was far away, he returned to the princess by the trestle in the dark:

"No problem."

He said softly. Although Princess Margaret was curious about how Shade persuaded the people from MI6 to leave, she did not ask any more questions.

After loading the last two passengers, black smoke came out of the cargo ship's chimney. After a long whistle, the cargo ship slowly left the dock and drove along the river into the darkness downstream.

Princess Margaret remained silent from beginning to end. It was not until the ship was far away that she stood on the pier and asked Shade softly:

"Detective, aren't you surprised that I appear here?"

"Why should you be surprised? I think you want to watch her leave with your own eyes, so that you can say goodbye to your unpleasant experience."

Shad said that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The day's running around was so tiring. He got nothing except a map and sixty pounds, but he was still happy:

"Aren't you glad to see Miss Brown boarding the ship and leaving?"

"I am a little happy, but I also feel like I have said goodbye to my naive self."

She looked a little disappointed.

Xia De’s lips raised a smile:

"Furthermore, you have successfully given Miss Brown something she will feel guilty about for the rest of her life. Like you for the past eight years, she will never forget what she has done."

Hearing what Shade said, the face under the hood finally showed a smile, and Shade continued:

"As long as you are happy, my whole day's work will not be in vain."

He stretched out in front of the princess:

"Then Your Highness, would you mind eating purple cabbage in the future?"

The princess looked at him angrily:

"Of course I mind, those vegetables are not delicious no matter what."

She looked at Shade who was nearby, paused and said softly:

"Thank you."

"Why do you want to thank me?"

Xia De asked rhetorically, then waved his hand:

"Your Highness, I actually have a purpose. Can you help me contact Sir Prisha? About Sunday afternoon, I hope to meet him at my home. In addition, there is also a friend of mine who is a ring warlock. . Please tell him that I am a ring warlock, and that I am looking for a ring warlock with the power of the moon, so you recommended him."

"No problem, but I'll go with you, otherwise Sir may not agree."

She hesitated:

"One more thing, Shade, from now on I allow you to call me by my name directly."

The princess's eyes looked at Shade. Shade hesitated for a moment, feeling the cold wind of the winter river blowing on his cheek:

"Okay...Margaret?"

The princess smiled again:

"I'm going back to China next week. I didn't expect that I would get to know a friend like you during my visit to Tobesk. I think I probably know why the duchess is fascinated by you."

Xia De did not comment on this, and made a gesture of invitation. Together with the princess and the maid, he left the trestle and walked towards the street with gas lights.

The moon is full and the stars are sparse, the city in winter is so peaceful. Princess Margaret was unwilling to talk to Shade about Miss Brown. When Shade sent the princess to the carriage, she hesitantly asked Shade a question:

"Why are you helping them? Don't tell me. It's really for the 60 pounds. With your power, you can do anything to earn this money more easily than this."

"Why do you need a reason to help others?"

Xia De nodded his chest and said firmly:

"If I really want to say a reason, I also helped a lot of people in the autumn, and they later helped me in the mountains when I was in danger. This made me understand that it is not bad to do good things occasionally. And as a knight of Delarion, I actually have some chivalry."

"But what you are doing is harming Delarion's interests."

The princess said softly, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and gently kissed the side of Shade's face:

"Then knight, this is your reward."

After saying that, he got into the carriage, and without even saying goodbye to Shade, he ordered the coachman to drive away.

Only Shade, covering his face, stood at the street corner watching the carriage leave:

"Do girls in this era like to express their gratitude with kisses?"

[Maybe this is just you. 】

"She" chuckled and said in Shade's ear.

"However, she touched me directly, why didn't she find anything wrong with me as a man?"

[Her witch power is less than expected. It seemed that Miss Sylvia had no intention of having any connection with the Witch Council from the beginning. 】

Xia De smiled, put his hands in his pockets, kicked away the pebbles at his feet with his right foot, and watched the pebbles jump into the alley beside:

"It's time for me to go home. Little Mia is still waiting for me at home. I have been busy all day and I want to rest."

He turned around and walked in another direction, with an indescribable ease in his steps.

"She" whispered softly in Shade's ear, and the thin moonlight illuminated Shade's way home:

[Sixth Era, 1853, late winter, the sleeping moon. The curtain of civilization is slowly unfolding for you. Standing on the land of the Old Continent, you have already understood and become familiar with the struggle between the two kingdoms of human civilization. The princess sang softly on the stage, the king sat on the throne overlooking the earth, secret agents shuttled through the city, and the laughing duchess didn't know what she was thinking. My dear stranger, desire weaves a web, power casts a scepter, money piles bones, and fate composes poetry. The kingdom is in your hands, war and peace will be decided by you. This era has become more interesting because of your arrival, and what kind of future are you looking forward to? 】

"Why are you saying this at this time? Have I accomplished something difficult? Until now, you would only speak in this tone after I accomplished something big."

[You are involved with the princesses of both countries at the same time. This is enough to affect the situation of human civilization, because they are full of ambition. Tonight, the anchor point of civilization has been touched by you. 】

"She" smiled and answered softly in Shade's ear.

"And why do you think I am a conspirator behind the scenes of the kingdom, planning to subvert the world?"

Xia De complained softly in his heart and turned around again to look at the carriage that had gone away:

"According to your statement, I seem to be able to influence the two kingdoms at will. When did I have such power?"

"She" just chuckled, but under Shade's repeated questioning, she still asked:

[Outlander, do you wish you had such power? ”]

Xia De looked up at the hazy moon in the sky:

"The pursuit of power is really tiring, so I still choose to pursue power."

[You have heard that knowledge is power, but isn’t strength also power? 】

Xia De shook his head and walked towards home.
