"She only has a few places to stay in Sara." Alfred yawned. "If Wayne can't find her, you can go to Blackwood."
……
When he got home, Li Ang was greeted with a scolding as expected.
His family elders really didn't like the fact that he married a non-human woman, because it was impossible for the two of them to have any children, so he was "cruelly" informed that he would not be able to inherit much from the family in the future.
Li Ang didn't care about it. He was determined to get away from this place of trouble. He packed up his things and came out with a suitcase containing some of his personal belongings.
At this point, his relationship with Cornerell came to an end. He reached out to stop a car on the street and told the driver to go to Ashwood Street.
Graywood Street is a place where rich people gather, and the houses there have always been very expensive. Upon hearing this, the driver glanced at his slightly younger face but didn't say much.
After arriving at the place and paying the money, Li Ang got out of the car carrying his things. He stood outside the fence and looked at a pure white two-story building. His smile became a little stiff.
This building was a reward from within the organization in exchange for his marriage allowance.
After all, he has worked here for so many years... cough! Although he can only be considered a newcomer compared to many real veterans, he is lucky and has participated in many major missions, accumulating a lot of merits.
However, in his impression, the building had just been renovated and its exterior should be truly "pure white" - he meant the kind of color that is spotless.
Instead of being like it is now, the whole house is almost covered by black and green vines!
"She won't hang me on our wedding night..."
Li Ang stared at the house anxiously, and began to back off a little.
"Leon!"
Cheers of joy.
He turned his head, but before he could see who was coming, a petite body that was a little stiff and yet a little resilient hugged him and kept rubbing her face against his chest.
"Why did you go out without telling me this morning?"
After venting her anger, Baliu raised her head and changed her expression: "I'm still asking His Majesty about your chest problem... How many times have I told you not to go out in the cold weather!"
"What if we run out of food at home?" Li Ang touched her head. "Starve to death?"
"I'll go and buy."
"...I'm here to do some serious business this time." Li Ang smiled, "There are still a few invitations that I haven't sent out yet."
"You went to see Aisuen?" Baliu's eyes lit up. "What did she say?"
"she is not here."
"She probably went back to Blackwood City to rest," Baliu pondered. "She is too famous now... Many dignitaries are looking for opportunities to visit her. She can't have peace here."
"There is no such thing as a clean or dirty detective..."
Li Ang was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
His fiancée is too mature in some ways but too naive in others.
However, he agreed with this statement, but he had to correct one thing: those prominent people went to the Hitzfeld Detective Agency not for the trivial cases they mentioned, but for the artifacts.
Because he had participated in the beach operation, Leon was fortunate enough to know some of the intelligence about the natural sphere. He knew very well how tempting it was to some old immortals.
Even though I had used it on them and helped them extend its lifespan, there was no effect if I told them to continue wearing it.
But if you don't have it in your own hands, who would believe what others say about immortality?
"It's okay." Baliu said as she pulled him into the house, "Your Majesty and His Majesty both support her."
Her majesty is Elwen, Queen Sara.
Under the crown is Tree Rings, the uncrowned king.
One is in charge of the White Shadow Palace and the other is in charge of the tree people. The operation of Sara mainly depends on these two.
Obviously, Baliu also realized that without this support, Hitzfeld's detective agency would most likely not be able to continue.
According to her own birthday, it’s November... She is 11 years old this year, right?
She is still unmarried and has no children at such an old age. If she didn't have strong connections, a nun who wants to have children would have knocked on her door long ago.
"I have delivered everything to Oman. Next I plan to go to Blackwood City."
Li Ang said.
"Yes, you should go."
Barrie nodded.
"Sheriff Rand and the others are here too. I'll go with you."
"I'm a little worried about her."
Li Ang frowned slightly.
He was mostly thinking of the plaque covering the cloth.
Just seek refuge, why put up a sign?
He always felt uneasy.
I'm still confused.
What happened after I passed out...
……
White Shadow Palace.
The young queen had just met the distinguished guest, and she couldn't wait to leave the palace and ask someone to take off the heavy decorations.
Annual Rings appeared at the door like a ghost, staring at her from the side as she removed her makeup and remained quiet.
Alvin knew that she would not come unless she had something important to do, so he waved away the maid and let her in. "Just tell me what's the problem."
"Are you sure you want to help Goli?"
The annual rings squinted.
There was a thin sea of mist between Sarah and Goli.
Of course, this distance is already considered close. Compared with other lost continents, it is more like the Misty Strait rather than the Misty Sea.
But after all, it is crossing the ocean.
When playing away from home, too many forces will be mobilized and the local defense will be left empty.
And to be honest, she was not optimistic about the Ash Legion's naval capabilities. Those people were experts in night combat, but most of them were even seasick.
"You also know that she sent the information in encrypted form."
Alvin nodded.
"The last address that the mechanical doctor revealed was Colossae... If she heard it correctly, it was Colossae Port in Aisha Continent."
"But I can't send troops directly to Aisha. Sarah doesn't have the ability to do so." She emphasized, "Now no country has the ability to go to the ocean and win."
"So you plan to help Oman restore his country first, and then use Goli as a springboard to plot against Aisha after the Plantagenet dynasty regains its footing."
Nian Lun nodded and sighed.
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your decision... This is indeed the best option at the moment."
"But what about the candidates?"
"Are you planning on sending a newly formed army?" Or are you planning on sending an elite team of experts in dealing with evil spirits... to do this?"
"I lean toward the latter," said Alwyn.
"Aisun speculated that it might be related to the whereabouts of the third evil eye. You know, I can't help but pay attention to this kind of thing."
"Then you'll be sorry."
"how?"
"She said she wanted to rest. I'm afraid you can't send her there."
"…Do you know something?"
Alvin noticed something was wrong with the expression on her face, frowned and asked an additional question.
"Yes."
Year Ring nodded.
"…tell me about it?"
"No, Your Majesty."
But was rejected.
"It's about everyone's worst nightmare. How can I describe it? Although I could tell what that thing was related to her when I first saw her..."
The annual rings bow their heads.
"I wanted time to take away the sadness and bury the secret...but she still found out..."
"Just give her some more rest."
……
The Wangjia Autumn entered the station with steam coming out. Amid the surging crowd, Leon and Baliu came out carrying boxes.
Their attire was so peculiar. The man not only wore two thick coats but also wrapped his face with a scarf. Probably only his eyes were exposed. Add to that the two huge suitcases, and you would think if you didn't know them, they had just come from the Far North.
Unexpectedly but understandably, the two found Rand-Ann on the street outside the station.
He was talking to a man whose upper body was shrouded in shadow. The two were very familiar with each other, and the sheriff would laugh from time to time.
Li Ang pointed over there and they went to say hello immediately.
"Corneril!"
Rand-Ann gave him a big hug.
"You're getting married? That's great, that's great... I saw it when we said goodbye. To some extent, it can be considered as empathy in times of trouble, right? I tell you, I'm not surprised at all!"
"It's almost New Year's Day, what are you doing here?"
"On duty... Places like docks and stations are prone to accidents. It just happened to be my turn today."
"I've never heard of the sheriff still being on duty."
"Oh, that's because we're short-staffed."
Speaking of this, Sheriff Rand's expression turned cold.
Leon and Baliu stopped laughing too.
As eyewitnesses, they knew very well why the police force in Kuroki City was under pressure.
"But we also helped them get revenge." The sheriff clenched his fists and forced a smile, "and I also got my own revenge... Why did you come to Blackwood this time?"
"We're getting married and we're planning on sending invitations to Hitzfeld and Ashley."
"There's no share for me?"
"…If you want to get involved in this circle, I can write you another one now."
Sheriff Rand finally did not force Li Ang to give him the invitation.
To him, the world of extraordinary people was still too far away and too dangerous. He still couldn't forget the dream about his father's bizarre death, and it was only during this period that he could sleep peacefully.
If he were to really step into this circle, he felt he would go crazy, so forget it and just give it his blessing.
After Sheriff Rand left, the two men noticed the man they had been talking to.
He had a good sense of position and always stood in an inconspicuous place. His entire upper body was blocked in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. The only thing that could be judged from the smoke swirling around him was that he was smoking.
"Good morning, Sir."
Li Ang found that there seemed to be a pair of eyes always staring at him.
"We know each other?"
"I don't know him." The other man threw away his cigarette and walked forward, revealing a hard and weathered face. "I'm Ethan, Ethan Doyle, this is my ID, we're colleagues."
After seeing the license plates shown by the other party, Leon and Baliu looked at each other in surprise.
He said he didn't know them, but directly called them colleagues.
Why do I feel like this is a bit of a bad guy...
