"You try to show his memory in more detail, like what he talked about when he met his father, and maybe you can find some details from that.
"As far as I know, this young master met Edward not long ago and reported to him about the visit of the nuns from the church. He should still remember the incident clearly. Let's pull it out and have a look."
Dorothy used the consultation channel to pass on the message to the little fox by changing her voice. At this time, she also wanted to find out what Edward's attitude was towards the nun's visit. If she could find a way out of this, she might be able to find a breakthrough with Vanya.
"Will we meet today?"
Listening to Dorothy's suggestion, a hint of doubt emerged in the little fox's expression, but she still spoke to Lauran in front of her.
"Show me the last time you met with your father to give a report."
Listening to the little fox's words, Lauran in the dream nodded, and then the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The original fortress and the sea were distorted in an instant, and the colorful colors seemed to be stirred by something and became turbid in the air. Finally, it slowly stabilized. After it was completely stabilized, the environment was no longer the original sea fortress, but a tall audience hall instead.
In the dim hall, there were only a few burning braziers providing light all around. On both sides of the hall, which was built with huge stones, there were countless specimens of strange-looking sea fish and sea beasts hanging. Above the hall, there was a giant long skull about seven or eight meters long, and it was unknown what kind of creature it came from. Under the giant skull was a long red carpet, and at the end of the carpet was a luxurious wooden throne, on top of which sat a figure.
He was wearing a Mainland-style admiral uniform, but underneath this dignified attire was indeed a thin and withered old man, with more than a dozen gem rings of various colors loosely worn on his fingers, which were like dead branches, and a sparse beard on his wrinkled face. Under an old navy hat in the style of the last century was a thin skeleton head, with turbid eyes appearing on the surface of the pupils in the deep eye sockets, staring at the throne. Not far in front, another person, Lauran, was standing respectfully.
"Is this... Is this Edward? He looks older than I expected..."
Looking at the old figure on the throne, the little fox said in surprise, "After seeing the image of Edward, Dorothy also realized that as an extraordinary person in the middle age, Edward was approaching the end of his life after more than three hundred years."
Lauran reproduced the scene in his memory, and then the scene quickly operated as he remembered. Dorothy saw a scene that she didn't see at night. Lauran was reporting the day's intelligence to Mr. Yang in front of Edward.
"That's it... Sister Vanya has been arranged to stay at the Wind Song Hotel. According to the schedule, they will hold a tour of their holy relics tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then leave Mon Carlo. Those who were caught in the human cup drug business have been dealt with by the Hooked Shark Gang. Now they are considering whether to hold the Hooked Shark Gang's umbrella responsible. According to our intelligence, some city guards are major suspects."
Kneeling in the hall, the Lauran in the memory reported to Edward what happened that day and asked for his opinion. After Edward took a breath, he spoke in an old voice.
"Just pick a typical example... to serve as a warning to others... no need to expand the case too much..."
"Yes..." Lauran nodded in response, and then Edward on the throne glanced at his son in front of him and continued to speak slowly.
"Also...did the nun from the church talk to you about anything else? Anything other than the pilgrimage?"
"Well... Father, Sister Vanya and I have always talked about the pilgrimage and the construction of Mon Carlo. There is nothing else worth noting..." Laurent thought about the scene during the day, and then responded to Edward. Edward opened his eyes slightly and continued to speak.
"She...didn't she bring up anything related to me? Didn't she ask to see me? Or to find out about me?"
"No, Sister Vanya was always respectful when she mentioned father, and she never made any move to discuss you." Lauran said to Edward, and Edward breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.
"Okay, push it down. Let's wait outside. Come in..."
"Yes, father."
In response to Edward's words, Lauran turned and walked out of the audience hall. After walking out of the half-open door, he saw a man covered in a dark blue hooded cloak standing there. Edward looked at the man and spoke directly.
"Come in, your father is waiting for you."
"Oh, thank you, Master Ten, for the notification." After listening to what Lauran said, the man in the hooded cloak smiled slightly, greeted him with a slightly contemptuous look, then walked into the audience hall, and then closed the door tightly.
"who is he?"
After seeing this scene, the little fox asked the dream-like Lauran beside him, and the dream-like Lauran responded.
"That was my father's distinguished guest, but I don't know who it was."
"Distinguished guest?"
"Yes, more than a week ago, a distinguished guest suddenly appeared in Mon Carlo. For some reason, he had a token of his father's extraordinary spiritual power during the pirate era. He used it to pass through many checkpoints and met my father. After that, my father summoned him almost every day to discuss things." Lauran continued to answer the little fox's words, and the little fox continued to ask.
"Do you know what they are talking about?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Every time they talk, they refuse to allow other people to be present, even me and my other brothers and sisters. Since my father met that distinguished guest, his condition seems to be a little unstable, so we are also very curious about what they are talking about?"
Lauran answered the little fox's words directly. Hearing Lauran's response, Dorothy frowned slightly, and then continued to guide Lauran in asking questions.
"So... have you seen what the token looks like?"
“Yes.”
After Lauran finished speaking, an object appeared out of thin air in front of him. It was a braid, a dry, messy and dirty braid that had been cut off. On the braid, a dead small snake was tied and inserted. The snake was in the hair and bitten tightly on the end of the braid. On the snake's head, there was a simple "cup" mark engraved.
The cup and the snake... Seeing the token, Dorothy's eyebrows jumped slightly, and then she immediately asked the little fox.
"Where is this distinguished guest now?"
"In a secret prison outside the castle, my father ordered him to be locked up there after his first meeting with him, and ordered us to keep a strict watch on him. Only when we need to meet him, we will be brought to the fortress through a secret passage and meet with him alone. My father seems to be very wary of him."
"So... do you know where he is being held?"
"Of course I know."
