Chapter 3384: Home of Resurrection

"You can also see that she has four eyes and three nostrils, right?"

Xia De even asked this at this time, and Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy both nodded. Miss Writer also sighed:

"Although I have already read the information, seeing a Mimic for real, I still want to say that this kind of thing is really terrible. It's not the terror of appearance, it's the characteristics they show. Clearly a monster, yet able to imitate every word and action of a human so exquisitely, this is too terrible."

Xia De was still unwilling to disturb it at this time, so he thought about going to see the situation of Viscount Alfield. Since the doctor's patient was transformed into a Mimic by a Mimic, Viscount Alfield might also have this hidden danger.

Mimics fully understand the composition of human society, and they are also very happy to transform nobles and those in power into "their own people".

However, finding Viscount Alfield was not smooth. Although Major Lade said he was definitely in the club this afternoon, Xia De and the girls didn't see him in the room belonging to the commercial trade representative on the first floor.

Xia De suspected that he was talking to others in other rooms, so Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya released a large number of red butterflies to help them investigate—this was not a physical entity, but a manifestation of some spatial phenomenon; the essence was just spatial fluctuation.

At the same time, Xia De used 【Enhanced Spatial Perception】 to determine the spatial structure of the club, but it was a pity that this club did not have the underground space he imagined.

And Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya's investigation ultimately failed to find Viscount Alfield. So either Major Lade's intelligence was wrong, or the other party had a powerful relic to protect himself. But the former probability was greater. After all, the Major himself said that his intelligence only came from the chats of his colleagues and did not guarantee accuracy.

"It doesn't matter, we have other ways. When searching the club just now, I saw your acquaintance."

Princess Lei Qianya reminded:

"Xia De, go to Room 5 on the second floor; someone there will tell you the answer."

The three returned to the second floor. After Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya's figures slowly disappeared, Xia De knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.

Princess Lei Qianya's voice appeared directly against Xia De's ear:

"You forgot to report your number."

Then she licked Xia De's ear, and Xia De understood. He leaned against the door and said a long number, and then the door opened, revealing the face of his superior, Director Anluosi.

Dark Anluosi didn't recognize who was outside the door for a moment, but still waved his hand to let him in. Afterwards, Xia De temporarily removed the illusion, and Director Anluosi suddenly realized:

"Just now I was thinking about who would knock on the door at this time. Speaking of which, at the banquet of the Grand Duke of Lagson last week, I saw a figure very similar to you. Was that you too?"

"It was me. I also saw you at the time, but didn't go to greet you."

Xia De answered with a smile, and then sighed:

"Director, you are really hard-working, actually running here on a business trip."

"No way, it's all for the country."

Director Anluosi said, and locked the door by the way—this was a life habit:

"What's the matter? Why would you specifically come to find me? I know that if it weren't for a very important matter, you wouldn't contact me abroad, so is there something?"

Xia De said his intention:

"I want to find Viscount Alfield in the delegation. Do you know where he is now?"

Director Anluosi frowned immediately:

"Sorry, did you hear something?"

"No, it's a matter related to a supernatural event, not related to the delegation's responsibilities."

Director Anluosi hesitated for a moment, and then actually refused Xia De's request:

"Sorry, the location of Viscount Alfield now is related to the King's secret order. Xia De, I know you won't talk nonsense even if you know, but I can't tell you about this."

He sat down on the sofa:

"The public thinks that this meeting between the two countries organized by the Grand Duke of Lagson is just a formality, but the King has arranged some important tasks."

"Director, if I ask for the Viscount's location in the name of Miss Miss Jia Lin Na?"

He hadn't used the respectful title "Miss Miss Jia Lin Na" for a long time. Director Anluosi hesitated for a moment:

"If you have a handwritten letter from the Duchess now, I can tell you. This matter is of great importance."

Miss Jia Lin Na certainly wouldn't mind giving Xia De a letter, but now she was far away in Tobesk, and Xia De didn't want to make another trip. As for his superior, Xia De knew he had his own principles, and Xia De didn't want to do anything out of line for this.

Just when he was thinking about whether there were other excuses, a voice sounded behind him:

"Sir Anluosi, if I want to know the Viscount's location, can you tell me?"

Princess Lei Qianya directly lifted her invisibility and illusion, and poked half of her body out from behind Xia De.

Director Anluosi, who was sitting, looked up when he heard a woman's voice in the room, and after seeing that face, he stood up as if there was a spring on his butt:

"Your, Your Highness!"

He really couldn't have expected to see Princess Princess Lei Qianya Cavendish here. Xia De turned to look at Princess Lei Qianya, and the Princess winked at him playfully, and then said to Director Anluosi:

"Hamilton of Lei Jiede brought me out on a date today. I think there is no need for a fourth person other than us to know about this, right?"

Dorothy pinched her arm. Director Anluosi opened his mouth, and then nodded immediately:

"Yes, I don't know anything."

Very few people in Tobesk knew about the relationship between Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya, but as the Director of the Military Intelligence Service and the country's biggest "intelligence head", Dark Anluosi certainly knew. But he also knew what would happen once this news was leaked.

"Then if I want to know what Father arranged, will you tell me?"

Princess Lei Qianya asked again. Director Anluosi nodded this time. If it were only Princess Lei Qianya, he might still not say it, but since Xia De was also there, this meant that this matter was being asked by the Princess and the Duchess, so he would answer:

"Of course, Your Highness, it is my honor—besides the delegation's fleet, the King also arranged additional agents from the Military Intelligence Service to prepare extra ships in Star Fall Bay.

The purpose of this contact between the two delegations is to attract representatives from many principalities in the Old Continent, and then meet with them secretly. Viscount Alfield should be on a ship in the bay right now, meeting with a Baron from the Principality of Megalo. The output of the Principality of Megalo..."

"White oak with high strength, high hardness, good toughness, and corrosion resistance. This kind of wood is mostly used for gun carriages of steam cannons in the country, and it is also one of the material sources for ship keels."

Princess Lei Qianya nodded gently, then shrank back behind Xia De and disappeared.

Xia De gave Director Anluosi a helpless look, but didn't expect the other party to show an "understanding" expression:

"Viscount Alfield released news that he was active in the club this afternoon to cover up his itinerary. He set off at three o'clock this afternoon and should still be on the ship now... Do you need me to arrange a ship for you to go to sea?"

Xia De shook his head:

"No need, just tell me the approximate location."

The Glorious Messenger was now docked at the pier. In fact, it was most convenient to let the Glorious Messenger carry everyone to find that ship. But Xia De knew that today was a date time exclusive to Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, so after arriving at the pier, he summoned his own small wooden boat. When he made a gesture to invite the two ladies to board, Princess Lei Qianya also said to Dorothy with a smile:

"Others date in luxury carriages and with horses of noble blood, but our knight's means of transportation is a small wooden boat."

Dorothy stepped into the cabin:

"But we like this, don't we?"

"Yes, in your eyes, everything about Xia De is good... just like me."

Director Anluosi provided the approximate location of the target ship. After Xia De set sail, Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy released the butterfly swarm again and found that seemingly ordinary small cruise ship quite easily.

There were still church ring-warlock figures in the club on the shore, but there were indeed ordinary people on this secret small cruise ship.

Therefore, after the three boarded the ship by means of spatial movement, they went directly to the cabin where Viscount Alfield was while invisible.

Xia De felt that Princess Lei Qianya would be interested in the content of the secret meeting between the trade representative and the principality representative, but it was a pity that they were one step late. At this time, the meeting between the Viscount and the principality representative had ended, and even that principality representative couldn't wait to take fishing gear to the deck to fish.

But this didn't mean that Xia De and the girls gained nothing from this trip. When they appeared in the cabin, the Viscount Alfield with a beautiful small mustache was standing in front of the porthole looking at the sea view outside.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and another middle-aged noble whom Xia De didn't know, but Princess Lei Qianya knew, walked in.

"Sir Ross of Tobesk. I have read the delegation list; he is a translator."

She explained to Xia De and Dorothy, and after Sir Ross and Viscount Alfield exchanged pleasantries, the former suddenly asked:

"Viscount, is your fiancée Miss Lavender okay? Did you leave her alone in the club?"

"Yes, after all, I have to cover up my itinerary. But she is fine recently. After taking her away from Tobesk, she said her mood is much better. This trip is useful."

"Then why are you still frowning? With the wedding imminent, you should be happier, and isn't the conversation with that ambassador today going very smoothly? Career and love are both harvested; you are really a lucky guy."

Viscount Alfield sighed while looking at the sea outside the porthole:

"Lucky, if I were lucky, she wouldn't have died of illness. I... I know that in the end, it is not her."

Sir Ross turned and looked behind him, confirmed that the door was closed, and then persuaded:

"Memory, personality, appearance, and even the length of hair are exactly the same. 【Home of Resurrection】 provided the most perfect resurrection means, so what can't you accept? Think about it, let's have two drinks later, don't be so unhappy."

"【Home of Resurrection】?"

Xia De felt that he seemed to have heard some incredible content. He looked at Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, and they were also looking at Xia De.

Although the Sir and the Viscount did not continue to delve into this topic, the content they talked about next was all related to the principality, but Xia De and the girls still heard a very terrible possibility.

Mimics seem to have found a quite efficient replacement method that would even be actively cooperated with by normal people. ===== CHAPTER 3385 =====
