Chapter 24 Dragon's Eye Stone
The true situation of the Ruhr Street incident was ordered to strictly block the content of the news, and no specific news came out. However, the sense of oppression in the whole city at that time, as well as the comprehensive blockade of the imperial capital and the strict investigation of the city guards in recent times, all made everyone understand that something big must have happened. However, no one who knows the real situation dares to talk too much about it. They are all important members of Hasting unless they want to treason.
There has been only rumors in the outside world recently. It is said that the Empire invented a new equipment, powerful magical alchemy synthetic weapon, but was conspired to destroy by the enemy's spies on the way to inspect. A fierce exchange of fire broke out on Ruhr Street, and the enemy was completely destroyed by the new weapon.
Ditma lived a very stable life. She either talked nonsense with Patton or was flirting with Andrea, and by the way she understood what parkour was. Andrea, a quirky and active girl, fell in love with this kind of sports in an instant. She pestered Ditma in the yard every day to practice various skills and practiced her hard, and she had a lot of fun. She was originally a royal noble girl, so she naturally had some simple martial arts foundation and made rapid progress.
"Barton, Bloom told me that if the two of us didn't go to practice with the rest of the Fantasy Brigade, they would prepare four of them to perform in the Navarro Hall by themselves."
"Brother, the new parkour set I designed for the trio has been made. I have found the best tailor in the imperial capital, the best ground dragon leather and silk, and I will definitely keep it confidential."
“…Are we going to perform?”
"I spent more than 160,000 yuan and delivered the goods to my home this morning. Brother, please pay."
"...I... I'll kill you." Ditma stood up and chased Patton who was running towards the door. His eyes were filled with stars. Three pieces of clothes cost more than 100,000 gold coins. It was enough to buy a house in the imperial capital. It was really an evil dragon.
"Hey! Don't call me, I told you as you ask me. I've given me a discount. You asked me to use the best ingredients, but I didn't take the kickbacks. You checked the goods when the goods came."
"Ditma, don't bully Patton. Good clothes are at this price, and my clothes are about the same price." Andrea, who was reading the newspaper, said calmly without even raising her head. He was already very accustomed to the nonsense of the two brothers.
"...Forget it." Ditma didn't dare to answer the conversation. If you can't afford it, it's over. This actress is so unwilling to be honest. She will immediately give you a drama artist. She acts coquettishly and speaks sweetly. She dares to buy clothes worth 500,000 yuan when she turns back. Don't make it unhappy for yourself. She doubts whether she can last for a year with such a spending method.
"Look at the newspaper. Viscount Rufgood, a great collector in the Western Modo province of the Empire, will hold a personal art collection exhibition in the imperial capital at the end of this month. At that time, precious gems, including the Wrath of Morning Star and the Dragon Eye Stone, as well as various art treasures, will be exhibited at the Imperial History Exhibition Hall. Ticketing activity will begin the day after tomorrow."
"Brush!" Ditma appeared next to Andrea in an instant and hugged her and looked at the news intently. Patton immediately followed her back and came to the newspaper.
"Brother, Long Eye Stone?"
"Rufgood seeks death!"
"What is the Dragon Eye Stone?" Andrea asked curiously when she saw Ditma and Patton were furious.
"There are very few people who know about the outside world. That is the crystallization of the eyes caused by our dragon clan's death. Natural death will not appear. Who in the clan? Our dragon clan is rare, and the deaths of all clans will be recorded, and even less unnatural deaths. Our dragon clan will definitely not let outsiders get away with Long Eye Stone. As long as you discover, the enemies who dare to insult our dragon clan's remains will never die." Patton said firmly.
"If it is true, Long Eye must be taken back."
"It's a must, but because of Patton's reasons, we will definitely suspect us first. The impact is too great, and Your Majesty's face is not good. We still have time. Andrea, you go to investigate the family situation of Viscount Rufgood. Patton, you go to prepare clothes and props just in case. Even if it's really a step of robbing, we must take action. I'll investigate the situation inside the exhibition hall first. If it really doesn't work, we have to communicate with Hernandez and Your Majesty first. Maybe there are other ways."
"agree."
"Then let's act now, so I'll go find the Marquis first, it's more reliable."
Ditma has never walked, riding horses or riding a car recently, and he is floating on the roof. He can't see clearly when he is so strong that he can't see clearly, like teleportation. The Marquis' home in the imperial capital is not far from the Grand Duke's house, and he arrives almost in a flash.
"Oh, it turns out to be Lord Ditma. Are you here to find the master? Sorry, the master is very busy recently and has basically never come back, but you can come in and wait. He asked the guards to notify him in advance. If someone important person comes or informs him, you can call him. I know where he is. I will call you?" The guard of the Marquis' house saw that the person calling the door was Ditma and smiled.
"Thank you, but no need, I have something very urgent to come to him, tell me the place I will go by myself."
"See Lord Ditma, the master has been in the Imperial Chaowen Newspaper Building in the commercial district recently. You know the place."
"I know, thank you." The person disappeared in a flash. The guard looked left and right and saw that there was no one around him. He thought Ditma was so mysterious and looked envious.
Ditma felt that as expected, those who were engaged in intelligence and were all the same people, and they were probably one of the strongholds of the Intelligence Department. He rushed to the newspaper office and came to the old place. At the window, he saw Viscount Balotte writing alone and floating directly into the window.
"Vissue Balotel, we meet again." Ditma suddenly appeared from next to Balotel, his voice was faint and obviously with bad taste. He scared the Viscount so much that he fell down with the stool.
"Ditma, you bastard, can't you go through the door? I'm the first to ask for your life when I die, I'm scared to death." The Viscount was crazy and was almost killed by Ditma. It was not enough for him to come again and again. He was about to turn around and completely seal the window.
"Haha, I'm just kidding you. There's really something serious about today. Where is the Marquis of Hernandez? It's very urgent." Ditma's face was solemn, not like the last time she met.
The Viscount's face became serious at the moment of seeing it. He ignored Ditma's pranks for the time being. He was elegant and elegant, and his face was definitely worthy of the audience.
"I'll take you there right away and come with me." Viscount seemed to have a real identity as an important member of the Imperial Intelligence Department, which is natural. After all, it is the mouthpiece of the empire, and the lifeblood of public opinion lies in his hands. This kind of money cannot be made by ordinary people.
The two came out of the Viscount's office. This was the first time Ditma saw the inside of the Imperial News Agency's office except Balotel's office. This floor was completely Balotel's own. They went downstairs to the seventh floor. The doors on the eighth and nineth floors were locked. Ditma understood when he saw the door sign with the words "Alchemy printing workshop idlers are not allowed to enter. This is the main place for the newspaper's work.
Entering the seventh floor door, Ditma suddenly felt like she was returning to her previous life. The busy scene was nostalgic for office workers. They walked directly through a large group of people who stood up to say hello and looked stunned. They entered the editor-in-chief's office and locked the door. Veronica saw the two people coming, and the pen she was holding fell directly on the table.
"Ditma has something urgent to look for the Marquis." After Balotel said that, he walked directly to the opposite side of the desk, lifted the oil painting and exposed a compass with strange patterns. After a few quick strokes, the wall on the right side of the desk slid directly outward and opened, and it turned out to be a secret door.
"Veronica is a relative of the Marquis's deceased mother's family, and she is the niece of the adult. Go in, the Marquis is inside." Balotel explained without saying much.
"So that's it. You both come. You may need your help." After that, he took the initiative to enter the dark room.
