Chapter 1360 The Woman, Couple and Earl
Lecia also noticed that Shade's eyes were attracted to a certain piece of fabric. She curled her lips, but of course it was impossible to say that she didn't want this thing.
But seeing Shade's eyes quickly looking at her again, Lesia gave Shade a warm hug:
"I thought it would be difficult to see you in Tobesk recently. Is there anything else at noon? If nothing, how about staying and having lunch together?"
Obviously she is also a guest, but she extended such an invitation.
"Of course no problem."
Shade agreed, threw the cat on the sofa, and looked at Miss Carina. The red-haired witch was standing by the table, holding the table with one hand, standing there in a very comfortable posture, Watch the two hug.
Lecia knew that there must be something important to do when Shade suddenly appeared here. So he sat on the sofa and chatted with Shade for a few words, then left the room temporarily on the pretext of going to the bathroom to touch up his makeup.
Tifa closed the door on the inside, and the witch holding the tea cup commented:
"My great-niece, from some aspects, is really the most qualified lady the Cavendish family has ever produced."
She asked Xiang Xia De:
"Is there an emergency? The mission of Time Key, what do you need this time?"
"No, no, it's not the time key. I want you to help me find someone and let her go to Randall Valley as soon as possible."
"The Randall Valley thing? Okay, who?"
"Marilyn Handel."
Xia De said the name, Miss Carina frowned slightly:
"The woman Joey Barton exchanged from death?"
"Yes, it was you who gave her travel expenses to send her away from Tobesk. Although I didn't ask after that, I didn't believe it. My sister sent her a letter to Shan Shuo⒆∷?."
The witch smiled:
"Of course I can't let such a dangerous person disappear mysteriously. However, I didn't send anyone to keep an eye on her, but it's not difficult to know her schedule. Today is Tuesday, and we should be able to find her within a week. , she should be in the United Kingdom of Kasenlik now."
With the way of information transmission in this era, this speed is already quite fast.
"Well, let her go to Randall Valley City as soon as possible. Although the people of the Orthodox Church don't know her, they also asked her to avoid it carefully. There is a Fertile Land Hotel in the center of Randall Valley, let her If she lives there, I will go find her in person and don’t have to worry too much. I’ll just arrive within half a month.”
"These are small things, but what are you going to do? Are women and souls who bear the curse of death still of use to you?"
"Of course, I'm going to ask them to help deal with a soul that might cause trouble. It's triple insurance, and they're the third."
"Soul? What soul?"
"The other party is not dead yet. I plan to kill him again after a while. This is to prepare for his death in advance."
Xia De simply explained, and Miss Carina showed a strange expression.
This morning, Shade did not leave Carina Manor. After talking to the witch, Lesia came back. Because the weather was still cold, the three of them did not go outside for long activities. Miss Carina took Shade and Lesia to visit the newly built greenhouse garden in the back garden after she returned to Tobesk from Saladir County.
Carina Cavendish's most indispensable thing is gold pounds, so the garden has been planted with flowers that are generally never seen in this season.
She even picked a plump red rose that was blooming and handed it to Shade with a smile, while Lesia asked seriously about the construction cost of the greenhouse garden and how much it would cost. Time and manpower.
Of course she didn't think it was a waste, but wanted to persuade Queen Diana to build one in Yodel Palace.
Today Lesia and Miss Carina unexpectedly showed a relatively harmonious relationship, at least much better than what Shade remembered every time they met. After lunch, Shade also asked Lesia the reason, but Her Royal Highness the Princess did not want to explain to Shade, but asked him if he wanted to return to the city.
She planned to return to Yodel Palace in the evening, so she took the initiative to take care of Mia this afternoon and feed the cat in the evening. It seemed that she had something else to talk to Miss Carina in the afternoon, and it was something that Shade couldn't know.
In short, Shade returned to the city alone, and then walked down the steps and came to the courtyard of the Church of the Forgotten at around 1:30 in the afternoon.
After a month of simple renovations, Miss Lassers has led the believers to make this long-abandoned church look presentable. Although they plan to wait until spring to fill the big hole in the roof, it does not prevent the church from being revitalized from silence.
After Shade left the Church of the Forgotten, he went directly to his destination, which was Earl Granger's manor in the city. Among the three antiques sold by Cassandra Auction House that may be related to the Heart of the Earth, the statues and vases are most likely ordinary items, and the final key should be the key.
Because he did not want the identity of John Watson to be associated with the Golden Dawn Opera Company, Shade still visited in his own personal capacity this time, and Earl Granger also took time out of his busy schedule. , you can talk to Shade for half an hour.
In order to avoid missing the time, Shade came earlier, so after the servant brought him into the manor, he first asked him to wait for a while in the lounge on the first floor.
It can be seen that Earl Granger, who has just returned from outside the city, really has a lot of things to deal with, because Shade is not the only one waiting to meet him in the lounge. Already waiting were a rather young newlywed couple, and not strangers to Shade.
"Mr. Henriquez, Mrs. Henriquez."
He entered the room, took off his hat and said hello, and the two people standing by the window talking turned to look at him. They were the protagonists of the country wedding banquet that Shade and Oxenfurt attended together.
"Who are you?"
Young Mr. Enriquez does not seem to have changed much during the first week of his marriage. He was wearing a straight formal suit and asked politely. Shade shook his head:
"You probably don't know me, but I received an invitation from a friend and went to your wedding with him. Sorry, I didn't send my blessing at that time, happy wedding, Mr. Enriquez, Enrique Mrs. Si."
This simple blessing did not bring much joy to the young gentleman, but he still tried his best to smile:
"I want to apologize for not being able to entertain you well at the banquet. What would you call me?"
"John Watson, I am a writer who travels around the Old World in search of story ideas. Some time ago, I helped Earl Granger find the family's lost antiques, and that's when I got to know the Earl."
"Oh, are those two medals? I've heard about this too."
Mr. Henriquez spoke warmly, and while the two men were talking, the young newlywed woman stood alone by the window and watched them.
Neither of them recognized Shade, or in other words, they never saw Shade and Stone Oxenfurt at all at that time. Judging from the current situation, although the wedding banquet ended successfully, the marriage that started with an accident seems to have revealed disharmonious factors. Even though the man Mrs. Enriquez met while studying art in Willendale has died, the shadow of the incident still hangs over the newlywed family.
Xia De didn't know if he still loved her, let alone whether she loved him too. The marriage story of the Enriquez couple was cast into a gloom early on, and it is usually difficult for such marriages to go very long.
The parents of the couple are both old friends of the count. They came this time to thank the count for the wedding gift. Therefore, Mr. Enriquez took his wife without saying a few words to Shade. As the old butler left.
Xia De did not wait long, and followed the servant to the study. At this time, the Earl was sitting behind the desk, looking quite troubled. Shade sat down on the chair outside the desk:
"Earl, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you seem to be in poor health. Winter is not over yet, so please pay attention to your health."
"It's nothing. Spring is approaching and there are a lot of troubles."
He pinched the bridge of his nose, held his hands together and asked Shade:
"Then Mr. Watson, why are you here this time?"
"I continued to investigate your great-uncle Thomas Granger locally and made great gains."
"Oh?"
The count’s eyes lit up:
"Please tell me."
"I didn't investigate his whereabouts after leaving home, but I found out that he had been carefully investigating the origins of your family for a while."
The count nodded immediately:
"Yes, you actually investigated this? I have only heard a few words from my father. My great-uncle likes folklore very much and is also very interested in family history."
"According to my understanding, Earl, your family has roots in this city even before the beginning of the present Universal Calendar and is one of the original members of this city."
Hearing what Shade said, the earl showed an implicitly proud expression:
"The Granger family has played a role in the development of the Randall Valley like it is today."
"There are very few historical documents and information before the Universal Calendar. It was a barbaric era. Fortunately, I have a friend who works at the university. He knows a very powerful professor of archeology and history in Tobesk. According to research The original origin of your family is most likely a man named 'Lyman' who migrated from other places. Of course, this is just a theory, but some evidence later proves that your great-uncle also investigated. out of this, and hope to find Mr. Lyman's tomb."
The above information is half true and half false, so as not to easily arouse suspicion. The earl frowned slightly, he really didn’t know about this:
"Mr. Watson, have you found the tomb?"
