Chapter 1632

This rain had not stopped, and when the group left the villa, the rain became even heavier. Rain clouds shrouded the entire Green Lake area, and the two cities on the north and south banks of the lake equally welcomed the heaviest rain since the spring of 1854.

And after leaving the villa, Megan took her maids and Xia De back to the yacht docked on the Duin River. It was already 5:00 in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner.

There was definitely no time to go to the City of Glass, so the last target today was the private cruise ship of Rotten Eye Bali docked in Green Lake. According to the clues found in the previous three locations, Megan believed that there should be the most direct connection between the cultists and the island on the cruise ship.

Xia De didn't care about this, but he had already accepted Megan's invitation, so he planned to go home and bring Mia over first, so that the cat could also enjoy a good dinner. And when saying goodbye to Megan, Megan also sent someone to send Xia De back to the Green Lake Hotel—even though she knew Xia De definitely didn't live there, and said with a smile that maybe when Xia De came back, he would still need to help with some small favors.

Today he originally thought he could go home in the evening, so he didn't let the girls help take care of the cat. Therefore, when he went home, he thought there was no one at home, but when he walked out of the basement from the landing point of the crystal shoes, he unexpectedly saw Luvia's shoes on the shoe rack in the entrance hall on the first floor.

"Luvia, off work so early?"

Xia De shouted upstairs, and the voice of the purple-eyed girl came immediately from the third floor. She was busy in the room where the astrology equipment was set up, while Xia De thought that if Luvia hadn't eaten dinner yet, he wouldn't go to dinner with Megan.

"Not off work early, but took leave to come over early to set up the instruments. The association confirmed that the lunar eclipse at the end of the month will appear next Wednesday, which is the 30th day of the Sowing Moon. In the morning, the doctor sent the notice issued by the academy, letting all students of the Correspondence Astronomy Academy located in the central part of the Old Continent record the celestial phenomena in advance."

Today is the 21st day of the Sowing Moon; it seems that the recording of celestial phenomena must be very comprehensive.

In the process of Xia De picking up the little Mia who welcomed him and walking up the stairs, Luvia was still upstairs. Xia De also came to the third floor, watching the purple-eyed girl bend down slightly, looking at the sky with the setting sun in front of that astronomical telescope:

"Xia De, you take your cat to dinner; I estimate I'll be busy for a while."

She said without turning her head, but her tone sounded very excited; after all, an astronomical phenomenon like a "lunar eclipse" is not something that happens just because you want it to.

"Then do you need me to bring you back anything? Megan Edwards invited me to dinner; I can pack some and bring them back."

At this, Luvia finally turned her head, but still didn't straighten her waist:

"What? A lady invites you to dinner, and you still want to pack food for another lady? Oh, Xia De, how did you become..."

She joked, and then turned her head to continue adjusting her stargazing equipment:

"Anything is fine, or it's no problem if I eat bread at home."

"How can that be? I'll bring you food when I come back. It's past 5:00 now... I'll be back around 7:30."

Considering that he still had to go to Green Lake, Xia De extended the time.

"It's okay to be later. This is different from observing the Star Sea Whale last autumn; observing a lunar eclipse requires more equipment..."

She turned her head again, asking Xia De with a shy, three-part bold, and six-part teasing expression:

"Why, did your bending action finally make you discover that my figure is quite good? Your gaze has been very focused."

"Oh, I..."

"Why are you in such a hurry; I definitely won't leave tonight."

The purple-eyed girl said generously, and waved at little Mia again:

"This time, you'll probably have to sleep in the closet again."

It could be seen that the cat was obviously the one most unhappy at this time.

Saying goodbye to the busy Luvia, Xia De took little Mia back to the Green Lake area. Before hiding the wall, he tried to touch the ancient god statue, but then looked at the items piled up against the wall.

Although he thought there would be no problems tonight, the danger of checking the cruise ship probably wouldn't be very great. But since he was going to take risks, and the abnormal cloud pillar that appeared above the central island in the afternoon was still vivid, he thought it would be better to be proper.

First looked at the 【Night Watcher】, and then shook his head:

"No, it's not that exaggerated yet."

Then reached out and picked up the 【Feilianna Notes】, took out the two cards clamped in it, and put the "Twin Lovers" into his pocket:

"Safety first."

Subsequently, he put the small book with a red leather cover given to him by Miss Danister, which was the alchemical item that could release the miracle of the thirteen-ring witch, into his pocket. Finally, he also put the small book with the angel feather on his body.

Now, Xia De felt much more at ease.

Considering that little Mia rarely moved around Green Lake, Xia De walked out of the wall of the hotel warehouse and restored the cat.

Although it was raining on the ground, the basement was still dry. The cat obviously had a good impression of this place where a large amount of food was stored, but unfortunately, it was not the time for it to eat.

When leaving from the back door of the hotel, Xia De stuffed the cat into the inner pocket of his coat and opened his umbrella, and did not forget to check the situation of the boy in the trash can.

The boy was still not there, but the things Xia De left in the morning were all taken away. The boy couldn't write, so he left a painting in his trash can, using coal ash smeared on a newspaper.

Xia De didn't quite understand the meaning of that painting, but he could guess that the boy had a place to avoid the rain in this weather.

After all, he didn't look like he was wandering here for the first year.

"After the Green Lake matter is over, I can... no, I can't think about this now."

Holding the umbrella, he circled from the back door to the front door of the Green Lake Hotel, and then boarded the carriage prepared for him by the witch. On a rainy evening, there was no one on the street, and the carriage with the "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" logo carried Xia De all the way to the pier.

The witch's cruise ship was docked at the pier. When Xia De handed the umbrella to the maid and walked towards the cabin holding the cat, the head maid with red hair signaled Xia De to wait in another room first:

"The lady is meeting a guest, and it will end in ten minutes. Please go and have a cup of hot tea first; dinner has already been prepared. Also, in five minutes, please go and knock on the door directly to the lady's place... the lady needs someone to see that she is with a man."

Xia De nodded understandingly; great witches probably all have such troubles recently.

Subsequently, he also noticed that the young maid in front of him looked at the cat he was holding; she pursed her lips and made an expression of restraining herself. It could be seen that she should also like a cat as cute as little Mia.

The stranger meeting the witch was also a woman, the wife of the mayor of Green Lake City, Lady Sarah Kaufman, the daughter of the Earl of Chichester. It is said that the current mayor, Roland Kaufman, being able to become mayor is inseparable from the power of his wife's family.

Of course, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be said in front of Mr. Mayor.

Lady Kaufman came to find Megan because of the ongoing negotiations between the two countries, which required some important commercial representatives to attend. Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals of course met the requirements, but the problem was that Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals was difficult to classify as an enterprise of a certain country; they had businesses in both Delarian and Kaisenrique, and the registration place of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals was in the Principality of Milsen, independent of the two countries.

Therefore, the Delarian side let Lady Kaufman contact Megan first to test her thoughts, and then send more important figures to contact. If a chance could be found to let Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals announce that it was a Delarian enterprise, that would be even better.

But Megan and Audrey would not do this unless they were crazy.

Xia De first went to the cabin on the side to have a cup of hot tea, and after the maid knocked on the door to signal that the time was up, he hid the very conspicuous Mia in his pocket, and then went to the top floor of the cruise ship and knocked on the door of the reception room.

"Please come in."

A familiar voice came from inside the door; judging from the heat of the pendant on his chest, the one speaking should be the witch Audrey, not the witch Megan.

Xia De pushed the door and entered, seeing the lady with brown shoulder-length hair and a plump noblewoman with an opal ring on her finger sitting opposite each other, while the maids of the two stood on the side of their masters. The noblewoman should be the mayor's wife; she was quite temperamental, but she looked over forty years old, and even with cosmetics covering it, she couldn't cover the old age.

And the witch, whose actual age was unknown, sitting opposite her, looked younger.

Xia De pretended to be surprised and said:

"Megan, I didn't know you had guests; just now Jill said you were here, so I came directly."

The warm yellow light in the cabin illuminated the witch who was acting very lazy; she waved at Xia De:

"Sweetheart, why did you come now? Come here quickly."

Xia De accepted this address with a smile and sat beside her; the witch also didn't forget to introduce to the Lady Kaufman:

"This is... a friend I just met."

After speaking, she also winked at the noblewoman in her forties:

"Please don't reveal this to others; I'm not ready yet."

Lady Kaufman nodded with a smile, with an expression of understanding:

"Then, did you agree to the proposal just now? The ball next week welcomes Duke Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendish to this city; it will be very lively."

"Are you going?"

So the witch asked Xia De, her voice very gentle. Xia De made an expression of consideration, and his left hand naturally stretched out and rested on the back of the sofa, as if to embrace the young lady with brown hair:

"Megan, I said it, don't always arrange my things. But if there is time, you can consider participating... will members of the Kaisenrique delegation appear then? I am very familiar with several representatives in the delegation; if I see them, it will be a bit awkward."
