Chapter 2974 Letter and Letter
This was not the first time that "she" had mentioned this kind of proposal to Xia De. Although Xia De did not deny that he was tempted, he still objected immediately:
"How could I be this kind of person?"
Although he said this, he still looked at the bright red lipstick mark with a smile in his eyes. The mark was very clear, and he could imagine that Miss Felena sat at the table and took the time to reapply lipstick in front of the small mirror before leaving the mark on the letter paper.
[This is a very clever method, more effective than any words. ]
"She" continued to smile lightly. Shad held the letter and looked at it for a long time before opening another letter from Fiona.
The letter from the Red Dragon girl was much thicker, with five pages of densely written words expressing her concern and longing for Shade. This also brought a sense of picture, but this time it was at the desk at night, with Fiona holding a pen and writing her thoughts under the desk lamp with tears in her eyes.
She used up the first four of the five pages and the first two lines of the last, and the remainder of the last page was not wasted, for it was in Miss Wilder's handwriting.
Apparently, the Green Dragon girl's status in the academy was not high enough for her to ask Miss Orlanod to carry a letter, so she could only use the remaining part of Fiona's letter paper.
Miss Wilder's letters were written in smaller letters. Compared with Fiona's strong longing, the green dragon girl was mainly concerned about Shad's life and told Shad not to forget to drink afternoon tea often.
【She is reminding you. 】
"Yes."
Xia De read the letter written by the two people several times before carefully putting it back into the envelope. Of course, Miss Feliana's letter was also carefully put away.
He planned to go back home right away. On the one hand, during breakfast, Lesia said that the maids at No. 6 St. Teresa's Square had received letters from a small town in the east. On the other hand, he wanted to keep the two letters well.
Even if one day he really made all the ancient witches come to this era, these two letters would be the best collections for him.
Because of the first snow on Sunday, the temperature in Vista City dropped rapidly, but Tobesk, which had not yet seen snow this winter, still looked the same. When Shade walked down from the third floor with the cat, he found that in addition to the maids who were doing their daily cleaning work, Leicia was also in the living room.
Her Royal Highness was sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, holding a book that looked like Hamilton's Detective Stories (Volume 3) in Carsenric. The detective novels originally published in the Northland did not give each book a name, but when they were translated into Carsenric, Dorothy gave each volume a nickname.
Although the third volume is also a collection of single detective stories, it implies an exploration of the mystery of the detective's best friend, the female reporter's life experience. Therefore, the third volume is also called "The Phantom of the Royal Family".
Of course, Dorothy didn't go so far as to make her incarnation in the book a royal illegitimate child. She just wanted to use the mystery of the female reporter's life experience to lead to the princess's case and then let the detective participate in the kingdom's big case, but that is the main plot of the fourth book.
"Xia De~"
The red-haired princess put down the book, stood up and gave Shade a hug, and then the maids consciously left the living room temporarily:
"It's been a long time."
"Why do I remember that we were still chatting in the corridor of the hotel three minutes ago?"
"That's Dorothy not me."
She let go of Shade and patted her chest:
"I miss you too. Now you've given all your love for both of us to Dorothy alone, so I have my objections."
Although this statement has some problems, Xia De can understand it.
He then gently kissed Leixia on the lips, but after the kiss, Leixia smiled and pushed him away:
"Well, I feel your enthusiasm, my knight. But don't think of me as that kind of girl. I just want to see you, in case you only remember Dorothy's tenderness but forget my face. I'm leaving now. I have some things to deal with in Yodel Palace.
By the way, is the matter in Vista City coming to an end? Ajelina has not appeared in public for a long time, and now there are rumors that she is dying of illness. "
In fact, the little princess was still excitedly talking to Emilia about the story of the Fifth Age when Shade left the inn.
"It's almost over. Now that Emilia is back, the final battle in Vista Forest will take place this week or next."
Then Her Royal Highness the Princess hugged Xia De again, and then reluctantly said goodbye:
"I'm always ready to help in Vista Glades. Also, I'll let you go today, but after things over there are over, you have to stay with me."
"Yes, yes, my princess."
As she spoke, she took off her hat with her right hand, then walked back and kissed Shade on the face, and then let Shade take her downstairs.
He went to the basement to put down the letters from Miss Feliana and Fiona, and after grabbing a handful of cat food for Mia, he sat down on the sofa in the living room on the second floor and checked the letter from Miss Gold.
As usual, the letter contained Mia's monthly "maintenance fee" of 10 pounds. However, even if the cat's taste had become more and more picky recently, and even if the prices in Tobesk were very high, its monthly consumption would be far less than 10 pounds.
Thinking about it this way, even if the stranger had not discovered Old John's pawn shop last summer and made his first pot of gold through the cane, he would not have starved to death as long as he waited until he contacted Miss Gold.
I shook my head vigorously to get rid of all the messy thoughts. I opened the letter and saw the usual greetings and greetings at the beginning. Miss Goder's handwriting was very recognizable, and the cursive letters showed that she came from an extraordinary family.
It has been three months (inclusive) since she visited Tobesk in the summer. Now that she has returned to her hometown, Miss Godd is still organizing people to clean up the legacy left by her ancestors.
The efforts over the past year or so have been fruitful. Although she experienced a serious illness, a crisis in the town, and a regional plague, the wealth she gained during this period was enough for her to summon stronger mercenaries to explore deeper into the town.
She said that she recently discovered from a book that there seemed to be secret passages and deep spaces underground in her ancestral home, and she planned to try to explore them when she had the time.
In addition to her own recent situation, Miss Gold also said in the letter that she has decided to visit Tobesk again around the end of the year, and she hopes to meet Detective Shad Hamilton in person this time to thank him for his love for Mia.
"It's already November, the end of the year."
Although he didn't know if he could really meet the lady this time, Shade still wanted to prepare a year-end gift for her. But that was all for the future, and the matter at Vista Forest was imminent.
The third meeting he and the "Masked Man" had agreed to take place on Tuesday, so he had to use the next two days to investigate everything. He didn't have time for a fourth meeting. The out-of-control Doomsday Rift had already shown that time would not wait for him any longer.
However, before starting today's work, Shad, who returned to Vista Woods from home, did not forget to go to the elves' tree house to draw gifts for a new week.
Because I talked to Emilia for a long time after breakfast and then went home for a walk, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the tree house.
Unfortunately, the elf girl was not at home. Shade originally wanted to wait for her to come back in the tree house with Mia, but he soon saw two blue-feathered young chocobos running around in the snow nearby on the second-floor platform. It was easy to find them in the snow. Then Shade suppressed the dissatisfied Mia, touched the little heads of the chocobos, and let them lead him to find the elves in the woods.
The elf girl didn't go far. When the Chocobos and Shade found her, she was practicing archery in a clearing in the forest. But of course, she didn't use arrows made of World Tree, but wooden arrows she made herself, even the arrowheads were made of wood.
The blonde elf was very focused, and she didn't turn around even when she heard Shade's footsteps. She held her breath and released her fingers. With a buzzing sound, the wooden arrow pierced the target she had erected on the other side of the clearing, and it was still buzzing after being deeply nailed into the tree trunk.
The shaking of the tree trunk caused the snowflakes on the branches to fall. The elf then retracted his longbow and turned to look at Shade, while the two little chocobos had already rolled into a ball in the snow.
"You're practicing archery? Does this have anything to do with those antique arrows?"
"Shad, don't relate everything you see to the future. This is just daily practice. Are you here to get this week's gift?"
"I came to see you as well. Emilia came back yesterday afternoon. Some tree roots helped us temporarily stop the expansion of the Doomsday Rift. What do you think of these things?"
The elf picked up his silver cotton cloak from the snow, shook it twice, and put it on:
"I'll watch from inside my tree house."
The gifts he received in the past two weeks were not very impressive to Shade, and he did not have much hope when he came this week. The most important thing was to visit the elf girl who lived alone here.
Therefore, when he put his hand into the gift box, he was actually thinking whether there was any deeper reason why Emilia refused to move out of here. And when he thought he was thinking too much, his hand had already touched the cold coin in the empty box.
The coin was lying at the bottom of the [God's Gift Box], so Shade almost thought it was nothing. When he picked it up, he was sure that it was definitely not any currency currently in use, and when it broke away from the box and showed its own elements, Shade knew that he had finally ushered in good luck again.
