Chapter 659: Barrier to Communication
I looked at the booklet in my hand, a palm-sized, no trace of magic, and not a special magic material paper, except that it looked very old in my hand, there was basically nothing outstanding left. Qing patted the booklet in his hand, stuffed it into his pocket and started to walk towards the outside of the lecture hall, although it was a little worrying to say that he didn't read the contents of the booklet for the first time, but after all, that thing was not something that would disappear when it was said to disappear, and he could read it at any time if he wanted to.
But not right now! It's not early at this moment, it's already evening, and there is no more leisure to do leisurely things, and the first thing is to go back to your accommodation first, and then make plans after resting. After all, the clock tower is not fundamentally a tourist mecca worth sightseeing, but a place where magicians gather, a place where all kinds of freaks from all walks of life in magic gather, and God knows if those beings will run out one by one when the staff gets off work and the crowds are thin! Although Qing is not afraid of these demons and monsters, it is a bad thing to cause disputes in this kind of place, and besides, he will leave again tomorrow in the evening, if he is entangled in an accident and delays his trip, then even if his mentality is adjusted to the best state, he will have bad initial memories for future trips.
The dark red glow of the setting sun penetrated through the huge stained glass of the hallway, and the empty hallway was not a little inhabited, and it was the opposite of the deserted during the day. The candles on both sides of the corridor have been lit, but compared to the sunshine outside the window, the candles are still much inferior, although it is said that the outside world cannot be seen clearly through the stained glass windows, but it feels like the sky outside is as hazy as if it is about to rain, but it is winter, and the probability of snow is much higher than rain.
Just like that, while watching out for strange people, Qing Yi was put back into the hall unharmed. This place is the main exit, and it is also the intersection of the roads leading to all the departments of the Clock Tower, so the original thin population has recovered a lot, and it is only natural that Qing breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Lord Gernier, I've been waiting for you here for a long time at the behest of the Lady." A familiar voice came from behind him, a high-level magic product that I had known in the past few days, a non-human but human-like product.
"Oh? It's Mercury-kun, I didn't think you would be here, I just happened to be hesitant how to get out of this place properly! Thank you so much. Turning to face the mercury maid, she said with a smile, and soon the smile on her face turned serious, "If you can, please call me Gangneir, your eldest lady gave me an alias just for fun, and repeatedly asked her to correct it, but it didn't work at all, so I hope you don't follow her will and learn this kind of thing together---"
Qing himself felt troubled for a while, and was inexplicably put on a strange name, and the other party was still a guy who didn't change his words! The mercury maid stood quietly aside, her eyes closed and she was quite calm, "I think the eldest lady means, the name of Gnier is actually more of a metaphor for Gneville, although I don't know the intention of the lady to do this, but on the carriage back last night, the eldest lady said it herself, but she seems to mind that you don't understand her code words." “
'This guy is so frighteningly honest that he has more humor than he has a sense of humor!' I don't know the gravity of this situation! Qingwei opened her mouth and couldn't speak, after all, she didn't understand that there was such a layer of ghost meaning in it until now, and in this way, this mercury maid also relatively fulfilled one of her master's wishes! Although it is said that the woman who was alluded to Gneverel had some of these displeasures in her heart, but she lost her temper at the words in front of her, and Qing still couldn't raise that energy-----
"Ahh ~~ Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with these things with you! Are your young lady and the head of the family still there? Why are you here alone? "Well, yes, not long ago, Lord II and the eldest lady were still waiting for you here, but due to some failed verbal exchanges, the second lady left alone in a rage, and the eldest lady also chased and left together at that time, so I was ordered to stay here and wait for Lord Gnier."
"---Why are you still using this name----" Qing pressed his head and worried, but he didn't know if it was because he was speaking louder, or if [some superficial factor] was too ostentatious, and the eyes of many people in the hall converged on his side, and for a while, the hall that was originally quite lively slowly quieted down. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qing grabbed the arm of the mercury maid who was standing quietly, glanced at the people staring at him with a calm face, and hurried towards the exit.
It's better to leave early at this moment! And in this way, with the obedient cooperation of the mercury maid, Qing walked all the way, and it didn't take long for him to walk outside, and no one followed him, and even if he did, he would have been knocked unconscious and thrown on the side of the road in the aisle, and it was estimated that it was still a problem to wake up one night. "In front of you is the carriage that the eldest lady has ordered to wait here, Lord Gnier, please come with me, the eldest lady should have been waiting for a long time."
Not far away, there was a black carriage parked under the street lamp at the intersection of the road, and the coachman, who was dressed quite gentlemanly, actually had a thick cotton jacket under his clothes, but even so, the coachman shivered from time to time under the cold wind of winter. Obviously, such a dedicated coachman was definitely a carriage driver for the nobles, and in this way, Qing refused the request of the mercury maid to sit in the carriage like helping a woman to get on the carriage, and the maid also got on the carriage, and the coachman raised the reins, and the carriage gradually moved forward.
The horse-drawn carriage is driving on the streets of London, the sky is completely dark at this moment, the blue and white moonlight and the lights of the night view of the city reflect each other, and you can hear the whistle of the cruise ship on the Thames River in the distance, passing through the standard Western-style buildings full of antique style, without looking closely, at first glance it feels like you are still in the steam age of the eighteenth and nineteenth industrial revolution, plus the Gothic-style mercury maid sitting opposite, the horse's hooves are clattering, and there is inevitably a lot of fun along the way.
Yu Qing took out the booklet that he had been putting in his pocket, he hadn't opened it since the jewel gave it to himself, and he was choked by this maid who had the same tone as the master all the way, and even the thought of preaching well was disintegrated, so he also remembered the existence of such a thing.
