The broken walls and ruins in front of me are typical ancient relics of little value. This kind of place can be found all over the Old Continent, even in the Great Northern Ice Sheet. While it has no value and no danger, the church does some level of protection. As for the ruins that are almost integrated with nature here, there is probably no need to protect them.

On the contrary, ring warlocks are happy to visit similar ruins. The remnants of traces of ancient elements usually mean the touch of miracle and profane runes. Exploring ancient ruins, in the depths of caves, under the shadow of mottled trees, in the inaccessible places in cliff caves, touching those historical wreckages and even the wreckage of **** statues, the probability of obtaining spiritual runes is much higher than simply reading books.

Non-academic ring warlocks, as well as ring warlocks who like to travel, like to explore such ruins.

【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】

When I first came here, I also wanted to try to obtain the spirit rune, but I didn't expect to get a word of sublimation by accident. At this time, the remaining traces can be seen on the ground, only the bases of some stone walls and the foundations of large buildings. If it weren't for the snow in winter, it might not even be possible to see these in summer when the vegetation is lush.

Xia De tied the horse to a tree, climbed over the crooked fence and walked over. This ruins occupies a large area, and it is probably an extraordinary place for worship. Although I don't know the original building specifications, but according to the principle of "all important places are in the center", Xia De stepped on the snow to the center of the ruins.

There are no trees here. No other traces can be seen on the flat snow surface. Xia De stood on the spot and looked around, feeling as if he had come here for nothing. Looking up at the noon sun in the sky, even in winter, I feel that the sun is a bit dazzling. Then he looked down at the shadow under his feet, such a leisurely environment made him suddenly have the urge to lie down under the tree and rest.

"No no no, I don't want to sleep in the wild in winter."

Bend down and squat down, touch the ground with the palm of your hand after brushing away the snow. Even after such a long time has passed, it is still possible to vaguely discern the indiscernible miraculous elements. Close your eyes, you can almost hear the sound of prayers coming from around you, and you can see the picture of people prostrate on the ground, worshiping the moon in the night sky.

These touches did bring some unique feelings, but unfortunately Xia De's [Silver Moon], [Yellow Moon], [Red Moon] and March Spirit runes are complete, so this feeling did not bring about substantial changes.

【Could it be the wrong time to come】

"She" suddenly whispered a question in her ear.

"You mean, I'm going to come back at night." "She" just chuckled and didn't answer, but Xia De felt that it made sense. If you want to explore the power of the moon, it is a problem to come before noon.

"But it's too far from here."

Complaining in his heart, he led the horse and disappeared into the forest.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Wilde Opera House, but Miss Benanis was not there because she went to the Parliament, but Miss Lathers, who has been very busy recently, was in the Opera House. When she saw Shade coming to the study, she asked him for help. :

"Xia De, Vanessa said that you know a lot of ancient runes, let's see what this means."

Miss Bernanice's news came from Miss Galina, who already knew Shade's unique ability.

Xia De looked at the photo that the young girl handed over. On it was a stone slab lying in the forest soil, as if it had just been dug out:

"This is what you discovered on the way to pursue Mr. Lassus. Let me see... This is Elvish, but it is not the modern Elvish.

Xia De is very familiar with this, and he knows the general content after a simple glance:

"It should have nothing to do with your search. This is a slate left by the ancient elves, probably in the middle of the fifth era. They were invited to migrate from the local area to another area, and left this slate to record that this was their hometown. According to According to historical records, those elves were invited by St. Byrence Comprehensive College and migrated to the north.”

"Oh, I knew I was wrong."

Miss Lathers shook her head with some annoyance, and sat down on the sofa with Shad from behind the desk:

"The road my father walked back then was more complicated than I thought. I really don't know how he passed through that without telling everyone.

So many trials...Shad, what have you learned? You went to see Oxenfurt again this morning. "

Because of the particularity of the devil, Shad did not tell Miss Benanis and Miss Lathers about the devil.

"I didn't see him. I waited at his house all morning, but he was in the city with Prince William Anjou, so I was waiting in vain."

Xia De expressed his dissatisfaction. Although he watched snow and painted oil paintings with his wife in the morning, and agreed on a little secret that only the two of them knew, he was still dissatisfied:

"I'll look for him again in the afternoon, and I must get the statue today. I've seen the statue, but unfortunately I couldn't get it."

If you can leave in the afternoon to visit the manor with the key, then you can just drop in and wait until the sun goes down before going to the ruins.

"I still have the same opinion. If it is not necessary, don't make more contact with Oxenfurt."

Miss Lathers spoke cautiously, but she also knew that this was something that had to be done at the moment.

Knowing that Shad didn't have lunch, Miss Lathers arranged another lunch for Shad.

After lunch, Shad just rested at the Wilde Opera House for a while, and then set off to look for Stone Oxenfurt.

Originally thought that he and Margaret's brother William Anjou met Sir Cosey of the local mining association at the "Captain Jack Club" in the city, but only when they arrived at the club did they know that the two had left together dozens of minutes ago.

The people in the club didn't know where the Prince had gone, so Xia De had no choice but to find Margaret again.

This afternoon, Margaret and Earl Granger had a private meeting to discuss in detail the current construction progress of the shipyard and the ribbon-cutting situation a month later, in order to report to His Majesty the King of Willandell. This confidential meeting was held at the manor where Margaret stayed, during which only the confidential secretary was allowed to enter and leave the conference room.

Xia De waited in the manor for more than an hour, and did not see Margaret until four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Her Royal Highness was a little tired, and the maid following behind was holding a mountain of documents. Possessing great strength was probably a necessary condition for becoming a maid.

"I know your matter is more important, but why are you and Earl Granger the only ones talking about your brother?"

Xia De asked his own doubts, and Margaret immediately complained:

"For that overseas silver mine, he has been very busy recently, and all these tasks have been delegated to me. Anyway, meetings and the like are all private work. When I write to my father, it is impossible to just sign my name. He will participate in those public appearances, so it is not considered that he has not fulfilled the task given by his father seriously.”

He stretched out his arms to hug Xia De, and put his head on his shoulders, his tone seemed a bit coquettish:

"I thought I was the one who didn't care about the shipyard because I had other things to do in Randall Valley, but I didn't expect it to end up being me doing most of the work."

Although it is "most of the work", it is actually the people under her who handle the most cumbersome matters, and she only needs to check and review. After all, "princess" also belongs to the status that can get the most glory without taking responsibility.

If it wasn't for the wrong gender, this would be the best job Xia De could think of.

"I want to ask for your help with something, I want to count Oxenfort...well, to put it another way, I want Oxenfort to be bankrupt and discredited.

"Ston Oxenfurt is my brother's most trusted businessman. Why, do you have a problem with my brother?"

Margaret asked with a smile, but did not refuse:

"I can help."

"No, no, there is some danger in this matter. I want you to inform the Higher Medical College of Serksex to investigate the silver mine off the coast. Just say that you think there may be something strange about this matter."

Although Margaret has left the Academy to become a Correspondence Ring Sorcerer, she also has close mentors of her own. Evil Lian must have his own unique counterfeiting tactics in the silver mine outside the sea. Even if the Higher Medical College of Seksei investigates, it is impossible to find the answer immediately, so

This requires a process:

"It's dangerous, I'll explain it in the letter."

Margaret nodded:

"If you want Oxenfurt to go bankrupt, it's not enough to expose the scam. I'm in the Randall Valley myself, and it's too obvious to arrange a commercial stop. I'll write to your princess in Tobesk later. Letter, asking her to arrange manpower to investigate Oxenfurt's property in De La Rion first. Then I wrote to my father and asked him to send Gray Gloves agents to investigate Oxenfurt's other industries in the country. Since he Lies about the silver mines, and other businesses can't be without problems."

Her Royal Highness smiled and said:

"Actually~ lightnovelpub.net~ It is impossible for someone who can do such a big business in this era to be okay."

"Well, it's great to have your help." "It's also helping myself, my brother, who is still standing in front of me because he doesn't have the ability, so it's good to let him move his position at the right time."

After she finished speaking, regardless of Xia De's surprised gaze, she stepped on her feet and kissed him. Xia De asked again:

"Do you know where Oxenfurt and Prince William are now? I still have something to do with Oxenfurt. I have been busy with this matter all day, but there is no result yet."

Margaret thought for a while:

"If I remember correctly, the daughter of a local male gang got married, and they went to the wedding."

"wedding?"

"Actually, I'm meeting with a few businessmen who are not convenient to meet directly on weekdays. You also understand that, as the prince of Kaserik, you will be criticized by others if you often meet ordinary businessmen without titles."
