Chapter 3383: An Alternative Date

Xia De had no choice but to helplessly accept the fact that the doctor still couldn't go to the snow mountain for the time being:

"But regarding that demon, we always have to do something, right? Just let it hide in the dark?"

"Of course not. The church only monitors whether we are still human and whether we have left Tobesk; there are no restrictions in other aspects. I will make some alchemical items later and give them to you when we meet on Saturday afternoon.

After you take those alchemical items to Fatumunster Island, you can throw them anywhere. Those alchemical items have a reconnaissance role on one hand, and can simulate the elemental traces of a witcher on the other. Even if I can't find it now, I can't let it hide in the snow mountain with peace of mind. Plus you said the church's demon-slaying squad hasn't left either, I want to see how long it can hide."

During the week the doctor was "taken away", except for the academy's bounty order on "Mimics", nothing else worth noting happened. However, since the topic of Mimics was brought up, Xia De also talked about his discovery on the island this morning.

The doctor really hated that group of "cockroaches" now:

"If there is a chance to uproot that 【Home of Mimics】, I will definitely go to help. But is the density of Mimics so high now? There are actually two in the delegation?"

This was also Xia De's doubt.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Princess Lei Qianya knocked on the door of No. 6 St. Deran Square with a smile on time. After entering the foyer and closing the door, she directly tackled Xia De onto the stairs, so Dorothy, who was standing higher on the stairs, had to ask them:

"Princess Lei Qianya, you don't want to start here, do you?"

Princess Lei Qianya had already covered Xia De's face with lipstick marks:

"Dorothy, you slept here last night, and I wasn't here, so of course you aren't in a hurry."

Miss Writer asked with a smile:

"Then who was the one Luweiya complained about last night who fought with her for food and ended up choking because she ate too fast?"

Princess Lei Qianya, who was wearing winter casual clothes, naturally didn't admit it, but she stood up and pulled Xia De, who had fallen on the stairs, up:

"I didn't choke... If you don't believe me, I'll demonstrate it to you tonight."

Although the Day of the Red Butterfly was a rare day for the three to gather, the ladies didn't want to arrange the 24-hour itinerary in a small area of the bedroom.

Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy originally planned to go climbing the snow mountain with Xia De today to see the scenery in the snow mountain he mentioned. But because of the morning's events, the ladies had modified the plan:

"Let's go to Fatumunster Island together and investigate the Mimics!"

"How did you think of doing this?"

"Think carefully, since we became Chosen Ones, the two of us have never gone on an adventure with you again. Isn't this very interesting?"

Princess Lei Qianya said with a smile, and Dorothy also nodded:

"Let's go, let's go quickly and return quickly. Princess Lei Qianya also booked tickets for the opera house tonight, so don't be late. Even if we can't investigate anything on the island, we can watch the scenery of the snow mountain at sunset together."

Dorothy had been to Fatumunster Snow Mountain last week and recorded the coordinates, but Princess Lei Qianya hadn't. However, because the two could even swap spatial positions regardless of conditions now, everyone successfully arrived at the snow mountain together.

In Xiweiya's high tower, the girls were still busy. Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy went to greet everyone. Xiweiya sighed in her spare time:

"Now I, Claire, and Xiwei are on the island, and Luweiya, Amiliya, and you have also come. It really feels like everything is about to start again."

Xia De originally thought about going directly to Victoria Street, but the girls who came for a date were unwilling:

"Let's fly down together."

Princess Lei Qianya said excitedly. The girls who were proficient in fairy tales and enlightenment elements learned to fly after entering the ninth ring.

"Of course."

So Xia De held the hands of the Princess and Miss Writer separately, jumped off the mountain peak with them, and went down the mountain amidst their laughter and exclamations.

After entering the city, the two girls who had never been to the Principality of Lagson looked at everything around them curiously and talked to Xia De about the local customs and folkways. Although they said they came to investigate "Mimics" with Xia De, they still visited the city with Xia De first after entering.

Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy also carried out a certain degree of facial disguise, so there was no need to worry about appearing in Shi Lun City at will.

They talked about the novel watch styles in the clock shop with Xia De; they also commented on the taste of the local specialty "Snow Mountain Ice Cream"—which was actually fruit jam sprinkled on ice shavings piled into a snow mountain shape—in the candy shop.

Xia De remembered the local famous dish "Golden Roasted Fish", but unfortunately, it was not dinner time yet.

Princess Lei Qianya chose new pocket watches for herself and Dorothy, but she didn't buy anything else. Instead, Dorothy took a fancy to a quite exquisite mechanical typewriter in the clock shop in the city.

This was a purely manual mechanical device, a work made by the clockmaker of the shop in his spare time. Xia De bought it for Dorothy, but he also had questions:

"Don't you advocate handwriting and believe that stories written by typewriters have no soul?"

"Yes, so I bought this to take back as a decoration. I want to put it on the fireplace of my apartment."

The three played around in the city until four o'clock in the afternoon before finally coming to the "Midnight Elk Club" again.

Major Lade had already inquired about the general daily itinerary of Viscount Alfield's fiancée and Sir Lorraine. Sir Lorraine couldn't estimate a very detailed schedule because he had work in the negotiation delegation.

But Viscount Alfield's fiancée, except for going out with Viscount Alfield, stayed in the club most of the time. And the good news was that this afternoon, Viscount Alfield, as the commercial trade consultant of the delegation, had to talk about some things with guests in the club, so his fiancée was definitely here.

"Wait a minute, what is he going to talk about in the club?"

Princess Lei Qianya, who had political sensitivity, asked Xia De in the carriage. Xia De recalled Major Lade's words:

"Although this time it was nominally a contact between the two delegations, in fact, many small principalities around the borders of the two countries also sent representatives, wanting to see what arrangements Delarian and Kasenrike had before the war started, or whether the camp they chose was reliable.

Recently, Shi Lun City is about to become a 'City of Spies' because of this. Viscount Alfield is going to meet with representatives of several principalities this afternoon to discuss trade issues after the war starts, or to offer prices to them on behalf of Delarian."

Dorothy was more concerned about another thing:

"What is the surname of the Viscount's fiancée? I noticed you haven't mentioned it."

"Lavender."

Dorothy blinked:

"Isn't this..."

"Yes, my friend Baron Lavender is her uncle. Although not a biological uncle, Baron Lavender's father and Miss Lavender's grandfather were brothers, so it can be considered a very close relative relationship."

Entering the club requires documents, and the guards at the door also have to record the faces. Xia De didn't have documents, but the girls had spatial abilities, so they held Xia De's hand and "jumped" directly into the club.

The three didn't rush to find Miss Lavender, but first went to the roof Xia De mentioned to see the scenery.

At four o'clock in the winter afternoon, the sky in the Star Fall Bay area began to turn warm, and the evening glow appeared, illuminating the snow mountain. Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy were quite satisfied with this scenery.

"Although forests, river valleys, and bays are all good, the snow mountain is indeed the most romantic. After my sister Mona married Randolph Aisberg, she returned to the North with him. When she came back, she praised the scenery of the snow mountain a lot."

Mona Cavendish's marriage to Randolph Aisberg was in the autumn of 1853. They were gifted a lake-view manor by the royal family. That banquet left a deep impression on Xia De—Margaret, Xiweiya, and Miss Pawo of the 【Truth Society】 all appeared.

The scenery here was indeed very good, and Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy were even better when viewing the scenery. Although it was inconvenient to take out a camera now, Xia De could record the picture of the girls and the snow mountain in the library, and after taking out the book later, they could "read and write" the photos directly.

There were quite a few people viewing the scenery here. Although no one knew the three of them, maybe they were guests invited by someone, so no one came up to question them.

After the scenery was appreciated enough, Princess Lei Qianya asked:

"I didn't see Miss Lavender here. Do you know their room in the club?"

"I know, follow me."

Because they were engaged, the Viscount and Miss Lavender did not share a room.

As an important figure in the delegation, the Viscount had a large room with functional areas such as a study, reception room, bedroom, smoking room, etc., on the west side of the club's courtyard on the first floor, which was actually his office in the local area. And Miss Lavender's room was on the third floor, which was just an ordinary suite.

The three went to the third floor first. Xia De stood in the corridor and closed his eyes to listen to the heartbeat using 【Heart of Stone】, confirming that Miss Lavender was in the room—Mimics have no organs inside their bodies, but they have heartbeats, which is also the reason why it is difficult to distinguish Mimics.

Xia De didn't know how strong this Mimic's power was, but he was very sure it wouldn't be stronger than himself. He nodded to the girls, and Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy held hands and put their hands on the corridor wall together.

The wall immediately became transparent like glass, and it was one-way transparent, which was also the application of spatial power. They were very good at this kind of fine control.

As for the inside of the room, Miss Lavender was sitting at the desk writing something. After adjusting the angle, the three saw clearly that she was writing a diary, recording the activities she had with her fiancé today, writing down the scenery she saw today, and expressing her expectation for future married life. ===== CHAPTER 3384 =====
