The interior of the carriage was extremely quiet, coupled with Xia De’s super physical fitness and divine afterglow state, [Echoes of the Past] strengthened his hearing, he vaguely heard a few words of Kasenlik, but not very clearly:

"What are you talking about?"

[The maid said: Your Highness, people from MI6 were found around the station. 】

"Huh? How did you hear that?"

He continued to whisper in his ear:

【If you can see the direction you can't see, can't you hear the voice you can't perceive? 】

What "she" said is indeed very reasonable, and Xia De himself heard part of that voice, and the "other me" who has a stronger perception can understand more:

"However, MI6 is...wrong? Your Highness?"

His eyes widened slightly, but he said without changing his expression:

"Your Highness, you don't need to use honorifics to me just now..."

Then asked:

"Also, what happened?"

"A talent like you who has served the country deserves my honorifics."

The lady behind the screen spoke faster than before. Obviously, she didn't expect MI6 to appear here.

But Shad can understand that although Director An Luosi did not go from Shad to the specific pick-up location, he at least knows that it is related to "Fort Midhill". If their investigation is specific enough, it is possible to know that there is a problem with this train by mistake.

"Mr. Gray Eagle, you leave first."

"Your Highness, do you have a backup plan? Speaking of which, why are you here to pick up the goods?"

Xia De's thinking became smoother and smoother. "His Royal Highness" is a proper term for Kasenlik, and not everyone can use it. Therefore, although he was surprised, the woman behind the screen should be the princess of the southern kingdom.

Xia De wasn't sure which one it was, but no matter which one it was, he shouldn't appear here casually. This was absolutely against the rules, and even thinking about it, he knew it was ridiculous.

So it can only be explained that she took advantage of the gray glove system to take risks and act privately, and wanted to see the contents of the box in advance:

"Why are the princesses in this world so bold?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly, and said after a pause:

"Your Highness, your appearance here is not private..."

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Shad smiled and converted into Delarion's common language:

"Your Highness, since the people from the MI6 have been discovered by you, it means that they will search here soon. The people from the MI6 will not let go of this carriage. I think you may have a way to escape, but it will be very difficult. Trouble. Let me help you solve this problem."

Xia De helped the princess of the southern country in order to let the other party completely believe that he was a "gray eagle", so that he could trust the information in the suitcase.

"Then I will trouble you."

Xia De nodded without saying anything unnecessary. He turned to leave, but was stopped again. The sound of writing sounded from behind the screen, and then a note and a silver brooch with the Anjou royal emblem were handed out:

"Mr. Gray Eagle, I think that you may be able to play a greater role in Tobesk. I also have my own staff in Tobesk. Maybe you can go here and have a look."

Xia De didn't go to pick up the item in the maid's hand:

"Your Highness, you should know that a person like me will not be wooed by any party. I am only loyal to Gray Glove itself."

The princess behind the screen seems to want to win over the ace agent "Grey Eagle", but the problem now is that "Grey Eagle" died this summer.

"But no one can hide from political disputes. Even you will be forced to take sides one day, won't you?"

Thinking of the gentle laughter behind the screen, Xia De still shook his head. He didn't want to have any relationship with any neighboring country's agents anymore.

But before he refused again, another maid with a first or second ring came out with a thick envelope.

"Since Professor Higgins died unfortunately, the reward for this task is handed over to you, 200 crowns. Also, for our friendship, if you are willing to go to the address on the note, you can get an extra 1,000 pounds, as my personal sponsor, for your firewood expenses for the winter in Tobesk. I know this is not enough money, but...there will always be opportunities for cooperation in the future, isn’t it?”

According to the current exchange rate, 11 to 12 gold pounds can be exchanged for 1 crown, that is to say, there are more than two thousand pounds in that envelope alone.

Xia De is no longer allowed to refuse this envelope:

"She gave too much."

Xia De pretended to hesitate, took the brooch and the very reliable envelope, and put them in his pocket together. Then he took a look at the note and burned it with a match on the spot:

"Please don't disclose what happened to me in Fort Midhill. I received a secret mission and was known by the headquarters. I will also be punished."

"Of course, Mr. Gray Eagle. Thank you, too, for your loyalty to the family."

The voice behind the screen praised softly, Xia De didn't say anything, but turned and walked out.

He spent 200 pounds to "buy" this suitcase, in exchange for Leizia's favor and a reward of 3,000 pounds. From the "wait for the letter" mission received by foreigners when they first came to this world to the present, this long chain of missions that lasted for nearly four months has finally come to an end.

Although the possible "Gray Eagle" and "Difference Engine" related incidents were extended later, at least this is profitable.

"Detective Sparrow is such a nice guy."

He thought about stepping out of the carriage, and missed the detective again:

"When the incident at Fort Midhill is over, perhaps visit the detective again in the cemetery—may he rest forever."

With "Ragley's Leap" and "Mirror Hidden Mirror", it is still very easy for Shade to lure a group of ordinary people away and let everyone in the No. 1 car have time to hide.

After spending a whole morning near the station, it was not until lunch time that I returned to the Cassandra Auction House and saw Granny Cassandra who was checking the accounts~lightnovelpub.net~The old witch has many capable people around her , but she doesn't want to let herself be idle, so she occasionally checks the accounts, or participates in the auction in person.

Seeing Xia De coming, he put down the account book in his hand, and the two left from the study and returned to the reception room. Xia De returned the keeper-level relic [identity card of unknown name], talked with the very talkative old witch about the earthquake a few days ago, and then pretended to ask unintentionally:

"Since there is a great witch in the royal family of Delarion, is there a great witch in the royal family of Anjou in Carsonrique?"

"Do you regard the parliament as an organization that secretly controls the world behind the scenes?"

Grandma Cassandra smiled and shook her head:

"No, at least there is no great witch among the direct members of the Anjou royal family. The most powerful witch in the contemporary parliament is Galina."

The identities of the great witches are the secrets of the [Witch Council], and every member is obliged to keep it secret. So unless Xia De really had the possibility to come into contact with those great witches, even Miss Galina would not reveal the identities of other witches to Xia De.

"Did something happen to you?"

The old man who has lived for more than a hundred years can easily find clues from Xia De's words.

Xia De hesitated, and decided to tell some truths:

"I had an accident a few days ago. I heard from my friends that the capital of Carson Rico, Willendale, has rumors of a witch, and it is related to the royal family. Of course, it's just a rumor without evidence. It's like Miss Galina When I first arrived in Tobesk this summer, I heard rumors of a witch from a banquet."
