Chapter 2070: Ajelina's New Friend

~10 min read 1,822 words

After leaving the manor, the elf girl's mood rose again. With Xia De's help, she no longer worried that the cursed letter would be difficult to solve, and on the way, she talked excitedly about her impressions of Tobesk.

As for the next destination of the two, that is, the address on the letter found from the manservant's relics, it pointed to the Hyde Club not far from the Regent Park in the east of the city.

The east of the city is the area where the rich in the city gather, and the famous "Hyde Club" is the most favorite social place for foreign envoys stationed in Delarian. In this kind of place, even if Xia De wants to enter easily, it is not easy, so when Miss Jia Lin Na sent the carriage to send them, she also gave Xia De a letter, allowing Xia De to enter her private room.

So at ten o'clock this morning, Xia De took Emilia, who was full of curiosity, and entered this closed noble club. Originally, Xia De thought that even if he met an acquaintance here, it would probably be his superior, Director Anluosi, but he didn't expect that when the servant led the two to Miss Jia Lin Na's room, they met Lei Qianya, who was with Ajelina and a group of maids, in the corridor paved with red carpet and painted with gold walls.

"Look who this is, why is Detective here?"

The elegant and noble red-haired princess showed a charming smile and walked towards him after dismissing the servant who led Xia De:

"Good morning, Detective Hamilton of Lei Jiede. This is going to the room of the great-aunt, oh, and bringing a strange girl?"

She said this deliberately, and Emilia was indeed a bit embarrassed. But she was not afraid of Lei Qianya, but curiously looked at her, admiring the other party's temperament and appearance in her heart.

"Good morning, Princess Lei Qianya, Princess Ajelina. Emilia, this is Princess Lei Qianya Cavendish, this is Princess Ajelina Cavendish. Your Highnesses, this is my client."

Xia De introduced them separately. The elf girl heard that they were princesses and immediately showed an even more interested look. And the little princess on the side heard the name "Emilia" and reacted that the person in front of her was an elf.

So the young princess and the young elf looked at each other, and for some reason, they felt that the other party would probably be very compatible with her temper.

The group of people didn't chat in the corridor. Lei Qianya took her sister and maids and followed Xia De to Miss Jia Lin Na's private room. The princesses appeared here this morning not to spend time in the city, but because their mother, Queen Diana, was seven or eight months pregnant, and they were secretly meeting a noble lady from afar on behalf of their mother.

Entering the room, Lei Qianya also heard Xia De talk about the reason why he and Emilia came here. The red-haired princess with elegant temperament thought for a while:

"So what level of relic is this?"

"Hmm?"

Xia De and the elf girl both showed surprised expressions, and Lei Qianya had her own ideas:

"I also know some things about Ringed Shushi."

Saying that, she patted Ajelina on the shoulder and said to Emilia:

"Although I am an ordinary person, Ajelina is a first-year student at the Zalas Academy of Literature this year, and she told me about Ringed Shushi."

Ajelina nodded woodenly. Xia De probably understood Lei Qianya's idea, so he continued to introduce:

"Keeper-level relic. The address on that letter is Room 19 of the club. I originally thought about secretly investigating after entering here."

"No need to investigate, I will take you directly to ask."

Lei Qianya said indifferently, and let Ajelina talk to Emilia in the room, while she took Xia De back to the corridor. Confirming that the door was closed and there was no one else in the corridor except her own maid, she lowered her voice and said to Xia De:

"I want to find some Ringed Shushi friends for Ajelina who can talk. Her identity has changed now, and she should have some Ringed Shushi friends. I don't worry about others, friends like Emilia are good."

Although she was harsh on her sister on the surface, she really cared about Ajelina:

"Xia De, after asking about the situation in a while, we won't go back first, let them talk for a while. I feel that their temperament and temper are quite compatible, especially in terms of figure."

But sometimes she was really merciless to Ajelina.

But at least Lei Qianya's idea was right. When Xia De left the club with the elf lady, she had already exchanged addresses with Ajelina. In this way, even if Emilia left Tobesk in the future, the elf and the princess could communicate at any time.

Emilia really hit it off with Ajelina. When the carriage started slowly again, she still couldn't stop praising the princesses in reality, saying they were as elegant and charming as the princesses in the story:

"Princess Ajelina is really interesting to talk to. The way she just became a Ringed Shushi reminded me of when I first entered the school. And that Princess Lei Qianya, she is really beautiful."

She said with longing and envy:

"Is the bloodline of the Cavendish royal family always so good? Although she is not as mature as Duchess Jia Lin Na, I think when she reaches the age of Duchess Jia Lin Na, she will definitely be as beautiful and temperamental as the duchess."

Xia De immediately reminded:

"You must not say in front of Lei Qianya that she will become like Miss Jia Lin Na in the future. Absolutely don't say it, definitely don't say it."

The young elf girl blinked, not very understanding the complicated relationships among the royal family members.

The investigation of the club went very smoothly with the assistance of Lei Qianya. The owner of the room was a military officer of the Set Duchy Embassy stationed in Tobesk. Xia De was quite familiar with this duchy. Mr. Virgil Cameron, who competed with him for the champion of "Big City Player 1853" last autumn, came from there.

Most of the foreign embassies and consulates stationed in the Tobesk area are concentrated in the area near the core urban area of the East District of Tobesk. Now most of the morning has passed, and Xia De originally thought that this investigation would take longer, but after they got off the carriage again, Xia De knew they finally reached the end.

Because Xia De saw Iluna.

This time Iluna didn't wear a police uniform, but her casual clothes. She had no teammates around her, and it looked like she was walking alone, but Xia De could see that she was observing the embassy across the street.

The eighteen-year-old girl soon noticed Xia De, and then saw the blonde elf following Xia De—she heard about Emilia from Luweiya.

Emilia naturally remembered Iluna whom she saw on the day she checked into the Three Cats Hotel. Seeing Iluna walking over, she hid behind Xia De again. And Iluna gave Xia De a look, and the three walked into an empty alley on the side:

"Good morning, Xia De. Are you here for an investigation?"

Iluna asked, glancing at the blonde elf:

"I let your friends go last time at the Three Cats Hotel, why did you bring her out again this time?"

Xia De guessed that Iluna didn't want to expose the fact that they were very familiar with each other, so he said embarrassedly:

"Good morning, we are investigating a relic."

Saying that, he introduced to Emilia:

"This is Miss Iluna Miss Beiyasi, a Ringed Shushi of the local Sun Church. I became familiar with her because of something before, and she often helps me."

Iluna "hummed", looking at Emilia:

"Ringed Shushi from out of town should be regular in the local area, but if you encounter trouble, I can help."

Emilia nodded obediently, not knowing why the other party seemed to have hostility towards herself.

Iluna still remembered the business and asked why the two came here. She also explained the reason why she came here:

"The church detected that in the recent period, strong curse reactions appeared intermittently near the Set Duchy Embassy, so the investigation task was given to our team. The captain asked me to determine it first, and if there is a problem, ask the church for a search warrant. After all, this is an embassy, and we can't act rashly."

"It's a curse, Keeper-level relic 【Malicious Serial Cursed Letter】."

Emilia said immediately, and looked at Xia De again. Xia De thought for a while:

"Emilia only has seven days left, I want to deal with this matter now. Iluna, Miss Miss Beiyasi, how about it, can you sneak in with us using illusion?"

This does not comply with the rules of the church, but Iluna never cares about such rules:

"Of course, I mean, it has to be this way."

Saying that, she looked at the elf again, thinking about showing her strength in front of the beautiful elf.

Iruna was currently at the Eighth Ring, one ring higher than Xia De. However, she was not skilled in illusion arts, so the three of them still relied on Xia De's Red Butterfly Illusion to enter the interior of the embassy.

Relying on the compass in Iluna's hand to search for the source of the curse—this is the standard equipment of the church, the three circled the building, which is not small, and finally determined that the target was in the room on the far east side of the second floor.

Confirming that there was only one person in the room, Xia De opened the door with the "Key of the Door". The three flashed in, and then found that the room was extremely dark. All the curtains were tightly drawn, and the morning sun could not penetrate. And when Iluna summoned a soft warm yellow light ball for lighting, they all saw the dense malicious curse sentences written on the walls, floors, and curtains.

"Come here."

This room is a remote reception room in the embassy, specially used to receive those unwelcome guests. The room is divided into inner and outer layers. Passing through the door and entering the inner room, the blood-red letters spread on the walls already possessed the power of a curse.

And the "living person" in the room was only the black thing curled up on the sofa. At first glance, it looked like a thin monkey, and only then could it be found that it was a human. The body was thin and skinny, and the limbs were as thin as matchsticks. ===== CHAPTER 2071 =====
