It was the fifteenth day, and there was a bright moon hanging under the dark blue sky, and the silver moonlight put a gorgeous coat on the small island of Palamós, standing on the shore and looking into the distance, the scales and water waves refracted the moonlight like a fine silver all over the ground, and the deep and light blue were connected into a piece that had long been impossible to distinguish where the sky was and where was the sea. On moonlit nights, the noisy town of the day sank into a deep sleep, with the occasional whispered curses and dreams of hangover sailors, and the unbridled dancers singing a lingering tune in the silence of the moonlight, with a voice that was charming and mournful, like the lyre played by the Siren.

This lonely island far from the land in the depths of the waves, the heat is swallowed up by the darkness little by little as the sun sets, the temperature drops far less than the daytime, Ed wears a shabby hat wrapped in a shabby cloak and walks cautiously in front, this good wine intelligence dealer rarely does not get himself drunk in fine wine, he carries a horse lantern and shuttles through every alley of the town, and peeks at the young man in a thick white fox coat behind him from time to time when he turns.

The moonlight flowed on the gorgeous fur of the white fox, even if it was not before his death, it was still shining, like a cavity of clear water under the moon, there was a kind of vigorous vitality, setting off the young white jade-like face, and under the bright moonlight, there was a charm that bewitched the sailor like a siren, so that he couldn't help but think suddenly.

It's no wonder that I like men with such a look! Even a woman is unwilling to marry a man who is more beautiful than herself.

Pinched himself hard on the thigh to take his eyes away from the seductive face, Ed cursed secretly in his heart, but his face was serious and cautious and flattering, he babbled about the news he had obtained, and his words were a little tentative: "The lord called Edward came to the island half a month ago, when their cargo ship was loaded with fine spices and silk from Persia, and he was accompanied by two good-looking young ladies, which caused a sensation. ”

Hearing this, Ah Zhai couldn't help frowning, according to the original plot, he should have Caroline by his side, who would the other woman be?

Seeing Ah Zhai frowning, the intelligence dealer who has always been open-minded couldn't help but make up for Ah Zhai's jealousy and anger, and said secretly in his heart: "It doesn't matter if this person is a man or a woman, all in all, this beauty is not easy to bear!" Looking at this adult, he is not good-tempered, but I am afraid that Edward, who has provoked a bunch of beauties, will not be able to eat and walk around! But when I thought about that person's current situation, I couldn't help but secretly speak, isn't it retribution!

"Why didn't you say it?" Frowning slightly, the black cat in the young man's arms let out a timely call, and the golden pupils were amazingly bright in the moonlight.

“…… A few days later, another boat came, the owner of which was Captain Daniel, the only son of the 'One-Eyed Baron', and they got into an argument, and several people fought on the docks, and Lord Edward was injured in the head, and that day happened to be the third day of the 'Eclipse Moon Festival' commemoration, and they happened to run into the parade of floats and dispersed. Taken aback by the very humane black cat, Ed didn't dare to play any tricks, and immediately poured beans and said it all away.

"Didn't those people look for him again?" The Eclipse Moon Festival is an important festival on the small island of Palamós, and every year on October 9, the island's inhabitants wear masks and go out of their homes to celebrate the birth of the moon god Artemis with flowers and wine for three days and three nights. Because they believed that Artemis blessed the island, bringing them good weather and protecting the sailors from their ports, the Eclipse Moon Festival was no less important on this island than the people on land celebrating Christmas.

"The two women who followed Lord Edward, one named Caroline and the other called Yvette." Quickly glanced at Ah Zhai's expression, and saw that he did not show anger, Ed quickly explained, "Caroline was finally taken away by Daniel, but Yvette stayed, she is really a hot girl, and she also gave me gold coins to inquire about Lord Edward's whereabouts, but she doesn't trust me very much (Speaking of this, a certain stupid expression appeared on his face) I only received the news today, so I won't meet you." ”

"Yvette?" Ah Otaku pondered, but really didn't get any information about this person from the memory ball, "You have her information?" ”

"Your Excellency, please believe that we are not allowed to disclose the information of the employer at will." A little embarrassment appeared on Ed's face.

"Okay, I won't ask." Ah Zhai simply lifted his hand.

"Thank you for your understanding." Ed bowed respectfully.

"However, just as an accident I have decided to buy out the news about me with a hundred gold coins, and you are not allowed to reveal my and Edward's deposits to anyone in any way after we are gone, otherwise I believe you will never want to know what the consequences will be." Throwing the money bag into Ed's arms, he accidentally touched this person's cloak covered with all kinds of dust and covered in soup and wine, Ah Zhai frowned, and became more and more integrated into this body, his cleanliness became stricter and stricter, and now it even reached the point where he couldn't help but want to escape if he had occasional contact with someone, and he barely restrained his steps to leave, he warned with a little disgust, "This is just hush money, and you will get another reward after the authenticity of this trip is confirmed." ”

“…… Adults rest assured, villains understand. Ed happily held the money bag in his arms, but he didn't notice the boy's movements, but even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care very much, after all, judging from the actions of the people in front of him, he should have come from a big aristocratic family, and nobles always have such and such quirks!

In a brief conversation, they had already crossed the whole town, leaving the dense buildings, and there were a few small houses scattered in front of them, and it could be seen that the material was the same as most of the buildings in this town, using a special kind of rock on the island, but the means were extremely rough and ugly, and it could even be said that it was simply piled up, which showed that the people who built the houses did not care.

"What is this place?" Although he thought that Edward might have lost his memory and was very depressed, he still frowned when he saw the house in front of him that was almost collapsed.

"You know, there are always so many visitors to our island, and this is for the hapless ...... Adventurer. Thinking that the person he was looking for was lying in one of the rooms, Ed paused and changed to a slightly less awkward wording, "Look, it's in the third room from the left in front of you......"

"He's here." In just four words, it seems to exhaust the strength of a lifetime.

Before finding this person, all he had in his heart was worry and worry, but when this person was really within reach in front of him, the resentment and sadness that rose in his heart almost made him want to pull out in an instant.

"Meow-" Noticing that something was wrong with the house, Sherlock called softly, and the moon rose just to be blocked by the clouds in mid-air, and the black cat's abrupt cry frightened Ed almost lost the horse lantern in his hand.

A gust of wind passed, the candle flame flickered, and the silent guard behind him flashed his saber with a "rub-" sound.

In the black moonlight, a young man in a snow-colored cloak walked forward step by step, and in the blurred light, they couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard a bang, and the black cat was thrown to the ground.

“…… I mean, you have to be prepared, that grown-up isn't in a good situation. Eddard didn't realize that his employer was on his mind, and he shivered in the sea breeze and tugged at his cloak and muttered.

Pushing open the door of the stone house, the room was very empty, and you could almost see the bottom at a glance, and then dodging the moonlight from the clouds coming in through the window, Ah Zhai saw the figure curled up in the corner of the room. Ah Zhai walked over quickly and squatted down beside him, the young man who had always had a habit of cleanliness quickly tore off the glove of his right hand, there was nothing in the stone house that could be used to keep out the cold, the tall man's hands and feet were cold and his forehead was hot, and he had already fallen into a coma.

"Someone!" The panicked boy didn't realize that his voice seemed to be somewhat resting in the silence of the night.

"Your Excellency!" The tame guards burst in.

"Which of you has a medicine for a fever?" Taking off the fox fur on his body and putting it on the man, Ah Zhai shivered in the cold wind coming from the broken glass of the window.

“…… Here it is. The chief guard stepped forward and took out the pills from his waist bag, and then the other guard standing next to him quickly took off the water bag, and the two cooperated to feed the man the medicine. Because Duke Rose has always been in poor health, these close guards carry medicines that can easily cure wind and cold, and they have a set of experience in serving nobles and adults to take medicine.

"Take us back quickly." Ah Zhai, who didn't know that the plot had become a mess, hurriedly commanded several people to quickly carry the people back to the light ship after the man took the medicine.

“…… My lord, you see that the villain has already led you to someone......" Although he knew that the employer must have been anxious at this time, Ed still looked very inopportune after discovering that several people were heading straight for the dock.

"This is a hundred and ten gold coins for you, remember, you have never seen them and you have never seen us." Signaling the chief of the guard to hand over a hundred gold coins to Ed, Ah Zhai also understood that if he wanted to completely hide the whereabouts of his group, it was better not to let people know about it at the beginning, so after a short period of anger, he quickly understood Ed's intentions, and out of appreciation for the actions of this intelligence dealer, he consciously added ten more gold coins when he spoke again.

"Don't worry, the villain understands." A happy smile appeared on Ed's face, and it was clear that his prudence and meticulousness had won more revenge for himself.

"My lord, where do we settle this man?" On board the light ship, the first mate quickly came to ask for instructions.

"Give the order to go down and leave the ship at once." Pulling out a saber from his waist and cutting the cable, Ah Zhai commanded, "As for this person, settle in my cabin!" ”
