Chapter 1260

The broken walls and ruins in front of him were typical ancient relics without much value. This kind of place was all over the Old Continent, and could even be found in the extreme north ice cap area. Although there was no value and no danger, the church would still carry out a certain degree of protection. And this relic, which was almost integrated with nature, was probably really not worth protecting.

It was Ringed Shushi who were very willing to visit similar relics. The residue of ancient element traces usually meant the triggering of miracles and blasphemous spiritual runes. Exploring ancient relics, touching those remains of history or even remains of statues in the depths of caves, under mottled tree shadows, or in inaccessible places in cliff caves, was much more likely to obtain spiritual runes than simply reading books.

Non-academic Ringed Shushi, as well as Ringed Shushi who liked to travel, liked to explore this kind of relic very much.

【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】

When he first came here, he also wanted to try to obtain spiritual runes, but didn't expect to accidentally obtain a sublimation word. And at this time, traces could be seen on the ground, only some bases of stone walls and foundations of large buildings. If it weren't for the falling snow in winter, in the summer when plants were lush, one might not even be able to see these.

Xia De tied the horse to the tree, then climbed over the crooked fence and walked over. The area of this relic was very large, probably an unusual ritual place. Although he didn't know the original architectural specifications, according to the principle that "important places are all in the center," Xia De stepped on the snow surface and came to the center of the relic.

There were no trees here. No other traces could be seen on the flat snow surface. Xia De stood in place and looked left and right, feeling that he seemed to have made a wasted trip. Looking up at the noon sun in the sky, even in winter, he felt the sunlight was a bit dazzling. Looking down at his own shadow, such a leisurely environment made him suddenly have the urge to lie under the tree and rest.

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

He bent down, pushed aside the snow surface, and touched the earth with his palm. Even after such a long time, he could still vaguely distinguish the imperceptible miracle elements. Closing his eyes, he could almost hear the prayers coming from around him, and could see the picture of people prostrating on the ground and worshiping the moon in the night sky.

These touches did bring some unique feelings, but unfortunately, Xia De's 【Silver Moon】, 【Yellow Moon】, and 【Red Moon】 three moon spiritual runes were complete, so this feeling did not bring substantial changes.

【Could it be that the time of coming is wrong?】

"She" suddenly asked in his ear.

"You mean, I should come again at night?" "She" just chuckled and didn't answer, but Xia De felt it made a lot of sense. If he wanted to explore the power of the moon, coming at noon was instead a problem.

"But this place is also too far."

He complained in his heart, leading the horse and disappearing into the forest.

When he arrived at the Wang Erde Opera House, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. However, Miss Bernice went to the parliament, so she happened not to be there. It was Miss Lathers, who had been very busy recently, who was in the opera house. Seeing Xia De come to the study, she sought his help:

"Xia De, Vanessa said you know many ancient runes, you see what this means."

Miss Bernice's news came from Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, and Miss Miss Jia Lin Na already knew Xia De's unique ability.

Xia De looked at the photo handed by the young girl. 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 road of chasing Mr. Lathers? Let me see... This is elf script, but not modern elf script."

Xia De was very familiar with this. After a simple look, he knew the general content:

"It should have nothing to do with your search. This is a stone slab left by ancient elves, probably the middle of the Fifth Era. They received an invitation and migrated from the local area to other regions, leaving this stone slab to record that this was their former home. According to historical records, those elves received an invitation from the Saint Byron Comprehensive Academy and migrated to the north."

"Oh, I knew I found the wrong one."

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

"The road my father walked back then was even more complicated than I thought. I really don't know how he hid from everyone and passed through so

many tests... Xia De, do you have any gains? You went to see Osenfort again this morning."

Because of the particularity of the demon, Xia De didn't tell Miss Bernice and Miss Lathers about the demon.

"Didn't see him. I waited at his house for a whole morning, but he and Prince William Anjou went into the city, making me wait in vain."

Xia De expressed his dissatisfaction. Although he watched the snow and painted oil paintings with the other party's wife in the morning, and agreed on a small secret known only to the two of them, he was still dissatisfied:

"I'll go find him in the afternoon. I must get that statue today. I have already seen the statue, but unfortunately, I couldn't get it."

If he could set off in the afternoon with the key to visit the manor again, then he could just happen to wait until the sun went down and then go to that relic again.

"I still hold that view. If it's not very necessary, don't have too much contact with Osenfort."

Miss Lathers said cautiously, but she also knew that this was a necessary thing to do at present.

Knowing that Xia De hadn't eaten lunch, Miss Lathers arranged lunch for Xia De again.

After lunch, Xia De just rested in the Wang Erde Opera House for a while, then set off to find Stone Osenfort.

Originally thought that he and Margaret's brother, William Anjou, would meet Sir Kexi of the local Mining Association at the "Captain Jack Club" in the city, but after arriving at the club, he found out that the two had left together a few dozen minutes ago.

The people at the club didn't know where the Prince was either. Xia De had no choice but to go find Margaret to inquire.

This afternoon, Margaret and Count Granger had a private meeting to discuss the current construction progress of the shipyard and the ribbon-cutting situation a month later, so as to report to His Majesty the King in Willendale. This confidential meeting was held at the manor where Margaret was staying, and only the confidential secretary could enter and leave the meeting room during this period.

Xia De waited at the manor for more than an hour, and didn't see Margaret until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long." The Princess looked slightly tired, and the maid behind her was holding a mountain of documents. Having great strength was probably also a necessary condition to become a maid.

"I know your business is more important, but why are only you and Count Granger meeting? What about your brother?"

Xia De asked his doubts, and Margaret immediately complained:

"For that overseas silver mine, he has been very busy recently, and all this work has been pushed to me. Anyway, meetings and such are private work. When I write to my father, I can't just sign my own name. He will attend those public appearances, so it's not like he hasn't seriously completed the tasks given by my father."

She reached out and hugged Xia De, placing her head on his shoulder, her tone sounding a bit like acting like a spoiled child:

"I originally thought that I was the one who had other things to do in Randall Valley and couldn't take care of the shipyard, but didn't expect that in the end, it became me who had to complete most of the work."

Although it was "most of the work," it was actually the most trivial matters handled by the people under her. She only needed to check and review. After all, "Princess" also belonged to the identity that could get the most glory without having to bear responsibility.

If it weren't for the gender mismatch, this was simply the best profession Xia De could think of.

"There is something I want to ask for your help. I want to make Osenfort... well, change the way of saying it, I want Osenfort to go bankrupt and be disgraced."

"Stone Osenfort is the businessman my brother trusts most now. Why, do you have an opinion on my brother?"

Margaret asked with a smile, but didn't refuse:

"I can help."

"No, no, this matter has some danger. I want you to inform the Success Higher Medical Academy and let the academy investigate that silver mine in the outer sea. Just say that you think there might be something fishy about this."

Although Margaret had already left the academy and became a correspondence Ringed Shushi, she also had a tutor with whom she was close. The forgery skills William used for that silver mine in the outer sea must be unique. Even if the Success Higher Medical Academy investigated, it couldn't have an answer immediately, so

this required a process:

"Danger? Okay, I will explain it in the letter."

Margaret nodded:

"If you want Osenfort to go bankrupt, just exposing the scam is not enough. I am in Randall Valley myself, and arranging commercial interception is too obvious. I will write a letter to that princess of yours in Tobesk later and let her arrange manpower to investigate Osenfort's industries in Delarion first. Then I will write to inform my father and let my father send Gray Glove agents to investigate Osenfort's other industries in our country. Since he lied about the silver mine, it's impossible for other businesses to have no problems."

The Princess smiled:

"Actually, in this era, people who can make such a big business can't have no problems."

"That's good, it's really great to have your help." "This is also helping myself. My brother, who has no ability himself but stands in front of me, it's good to let him move his position at the right time."

After she finished speaking, regardless of Xia De's surprised look, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Xia De asked again:

"Do you know where Osenfort and Prince William might be now? I still have something to find Osenfort for. I have been busy with this all day, but there is still no result until now."

Margaret thought for a while:

"If I remember correctly, a daughter of a local baron is getting married, and they went to attend the wedding."

"Wedding?"

"Actually, it's to meet a few businessmen who are not convenient to meet directly on weekdays. You also understand that as a Prince of Kasenrik, meeting ordinary businessmen without titles frequently will make others criticize."
