Chapter 1033: Hand Crossbow

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya also saw Xia De's temptation, and a casual smile appeared on the witch's lips. Although Miss Jia Lin Na had contact with Xia De earlier, it was clear that the witch of the Thirteenth Seat of the Council had grasped Xia De's thoughts at once:

"You can consider it first, just give me the result before the visiting delegation leaves."

Although they could still contact each other after the visiting delegation left, letting go now while giving a specific deadline would make Xia De care more.

"This..."

Xia De didn't want to refuse, but felt that if they cooperated like this, he was actually taking advantage of the witch. Although Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya was not very rich relatively speaking, the money she took out for this investment converted into gold pounds was six figures. Xia De's savings could only be considered a fraction, and the "valuable advice" the witch mentioned was, in Xia De's view, worthless.

"I will consider it carefully."

Xia De nodded cautiously, thought of the chat with Miss Miss Miss Pawo not long ago, and asked again:

"Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya, do you know about synthetic fibers?"

The witch looked at him curiously, and Xia De explained the difference between "artificial fibers" and "biological fibers."

Of course, talking to Miss Miss Miss Pawo about this last Friday was mainly to prevent her from talking to him about deeper topics, and this time it was to lead to a train of thought, so Xia De did not mention topics like "transparency and elasticity of clothes."

"Sounds interesting. If it is non-toxic, the artificial fibers you mentioned indeed have prospects for use. The problem is, although Ring Warlocks know some chemistry, how exactly to make it? At least I have never heard of anyone successfully synthesizing fine filaments that can be used for clothing weaving."

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya said.

"Probably coal tar, water, and air reacting together... oh, sorry, I'm just proposing a train of thought."

Xia De shook his head. He was not a professional after all, and even if he had heard of "nylon," he couldn't reproduce it:

"I will consider the investment matter again. Thank you for your invitation."

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya nodded. Just then, the maid outside the door pushed the door open and informed Xia De that Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te's tea party had ended, and the Princess was currently seeing off the ladies leaving at the entrance of the mansion, so Xia De also stood up to bid farewell to Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya.

"Coal tar, water, and air?"

The witch held her teacup, her left hand fingers gesturing in the air:

"Viscous fine filaments... if the molten state relies on tension... can solve the trouble with a needle-hole syringe... if it really succeeds, this can be called an epoch-making invention."

She sat up straight, feeling that she might be able to give it a try.

On the other side, Xia De had already met Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te. The servants naturally wouldn't tell the Princess that Xia De had been with Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya just now. The Princess thought Xia De had been waiting in the lounge for more than an hour, so she was extremely apologetic.

Of course, she didn't forget to express her gratitude for what happened last night. Yesterday, Lei Qianya could know that Xia De was not in danger through Duo Luo Qian, and even spent the whole night checking him personally, but Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te didn't know if Xia De had any sequelae because of that stone statue.

"I'm fine, of course."

Xia De said with a smile. The Princess with pale golden long hair pursed her lips. She had infinite questions about the handsome knight in front of her, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Although only at the Fourth Ring, the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi in front of her seemed to possess power like her teacher. She still remembered Xia De hugging the terrifying Relic from behind last night, and she also remembered the brilliant silver shockwave under the moonlit night that scattered the huge black dragon in the sky. Of course, she remembered even more that after everything ended, amidst the singing of the bard, the sky full of red butterflies flying in the snowy night.

When the Church conducted a large-scale investigation afterward, they naturally wouldn't say the title of "God-Caller," but this didn't prevent the Princess from knowing the power of that evil spirit from the Third Era.

Seeing Xia De again at this moment, she really had many questions she wanted to ask, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into another question that embarrassed her:

"What is your relationship with Princess Lei Qianya Ka Wen Di Xu?"

Xia De also pursed his lips:

"She is my... I am her lover."

If he refused to admit even this kind of relationship, Xia De himself would think he was a shameless person. Moreover, he could be sure that Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te would definitely not talk about this randomly.

"I see..."

The Princess nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed herself, so she changed the subject:

"Mr. Han Mi Er Dun... Xia De, did you come to find me for something?"

Xia De noticed the change in her address, but didn't say anything more:

"I want to know Sir Lei Jin Si Pu Li Xia's itinerary for the next few days. No, I don't want to know where he went; I want to know what public activities he will participate in."

Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te hesitated for a moment, her hands elegantly folded on her dress:

"No problem. I will have someone organize the Sir's itinerary for the next week and send it to you later. If he attends some banquets, I will give you an anonymous invitation."

Xia De showed a smile:

"That's even better. Oh, Princess, I can guarantee that I have no malice toward the Sir."

He just wanted to let the doctor see the desires in the Sir's heart.

Xia De then asked again:

"Then Princess, do you have anything you need my help with?"

Xia De was just being polite, but he didn't expect the Princess to hesitate again, and then nod:

"There is indeed one thing that is inconvenient for others to help investigate. If it's convenient, can you help me find someone? Find someone else."

"Looking for someone again?"

Xia De muttered in his heart, but still nodded:

"No problem."

Since he definitely couldn't find the "female warlock living in Saint De Lan Square," he had to help find the second person no matter what:

"May I ask who needs to be found is..."

"A maid of mine, but eight years ago, because of... an accident, she was forced to leave my side, and then went missing in a fire."

The smile on her face at this time was very forced:

"I still have her photo here, I'll have someone get it now."

After instructing her personal maid, she said to Xia De with a forced smile again:

"In the autumn of 1845, shortly after she was forced to resign from her maid job, her house in Wei Lun Dai Er caught fire. For eight years, I have always thought she had passed away. To be honest, her resignation had a lot to do with me. But not long ago in To Bei Si Ke, I seemed to see her from the carriage window. I'm not very sure, so I want to entrust you to investigate."

Xia De had heard this story (Chapter 863). To be precise, this was the story of "The Princess, the Maid, the Purple Cabbage, and the Spy." Lei Qianya, in order to "revenge" Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te for occupying her dating time, also had Xia De specifically send a note at the farewell banquet in Heng Ting Dun City.

"You don't have to approach her. Just confirming whether I saw the wrong person is enough."

The maid brought a yellowed black-and-white photo, which was a group photo. Young Ring Ring Mage Li Te An Ru was sitting on a swing in a midsummer garden, with several maids in uniform beside her.

Seeing Xia De staring at her in the photo, the Princess pressed her finger on her face unobtrusively:

"The second one on the left is her, Qiao Ya Ni Ke Lao Si."

She gave the photo to Xia De:

"You take this photo and go find her. If you can't find her, remember to return the photo to me. I can reimburse all expenses during the investigation."

"No problem, Princess."

Xia De nodded, but doubts arose in his heart.

Most of these transferred spies would be arranged by the Military Intelligence Agency to live in remote cities or even the countryside. Even if the Military Intelligence Agency still provided work, it would be absolutely impossible for Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te to see her, unless Director An Luo Si was really confused and didn't remember the past.

Finding Miss "Qiao Ya Ni Ke Lao Si" was not difficult for Xia De. He could just go ask Miss Jia Lin Na, who told Lei Qianya about this three years ago; the witch must have the answer. The problem was, he suspected that the reappearance of Miss Qiao Ya Ni Ke Lao Si was also a plan of the Military Intelligence Agency.

That plan was to lure out the "Gray Hawk" who left the note last week and destroyed the bombing case.

"Has the person who left the note last week been found?"

Thinking of this, Xia De suddenly asked abruptly. Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te looked at him in surprise, then shook her head slightly:

"Oh, you still remember this. No, we haven't found that kind person. I mean, neither we nor your police have found him."

Xia De nodded slowly. He felt that he seemed to have accidentally gotten involved in some trouble again.

Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te kept Xia De talking for a while longer. When Xia De left Canary Manor, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Lu Weiya had invited Xia De to dinner tonight, but Xia De didn't go home immediately. Instead, he went to Old John's pawnshop first. The alchemical crossbow he had ordered at a high price of over a hundred pounds (Chapter 1004) should have been finished. Only by getting that weapon in hand would he have the confidence to deal with the series of events that followed.

The heavy snow that had lasted for a day still hadn't stopped, which led to the fact that even though it was afternoon, there were no customers in the pawnshop.

The small crossbow had been made, and because Xia De had paid a high price, Old John specifically used a very exquisite box to contain it:

"I won't ask what you want to fire with it, but I must remind you that if it's a miracle or Relic that must use a special bow or crossbow to function, even if the materials I use are the best, it will break very quickly."

"I want to use it to fire a Relic arrow. As long as it can guarantee to fire once, that's enough."

Xia De carefully examined the small crossbow. Compared to a bow and arrow, a crossbow was easier for a layman like him to use.

"Relic arrow? Truly amazing. Is it 【Ti-Stealing Attacker】? 【Ai Ken Ao La's Arrow of Knowledge】? 【Wind King's Invisible Arrow】? 【Glittering of the Stars】? It couldn't be 【Chaos Fragment】, could it?"

Old John asked casually while flipping through the newspaper. The newspaper still had follow-up reports on Princess Ring Ring Mage Li Te's attack last week, which was the hottest news in the past few days. ===== CHAPTER 1034 =====
