Chapter 564: Letter of Submission
In Mon Carlo at night, Dorothy sat on the sofa in the hotel suite. After sensing the whole experience of what the little fox Lauran saw and heard in her dream, she was now touching her chin with interest, thinking.
'Edward's distinguished guest... holding a token from Edward's pirate days... secret meeting and imprisonment... really interesting...' Dorothy's mind quickly went through all the information she had obtained from Lauran. Various thoughts emerged in her mind, and then she used the consultation channel to convey a message to the little fox who was still in her dream.
"Okay, that's enough. Let's exit the dream now. It's time for us to go somewhere else."
In Lao Lan's dream, at the entrance of the spacious audience hall, the little fox, who had just written down the location and address Lao Lan had described, was puzzled and then spoke again.
"We haven't found out the whereabouts of that thing yet, so you're just going to back off like this?"
"Edward's caution is beyond our expectations. We won't get anything out of him if we continue to question him. We have to change direction... Let's go immediately to the place where the so-called distinguished guest is being held." Dorothy said to the little fox in Ed's voice and tone.
"Well... we have to change places. All right, you go ahead in the carriage, I'll rush over there soon..." The little fox said with a little distress after listening to Dorothy's words. He was not like Ed, and he did not have his own carriage on standby nearby, so it would take more effort to move. However, Dorothy's reaction was a little unexpected to her.
"Don't open up, let's sit together. It's late at night and we don't have much time. Don't waste it."
"Riding in the car with you? Doesn't that mean I'm showing myself in front of you? That's not..."
"I've seen your body. It's on the roof of the three-story building with a grilled fish shop to the left of the altar where Lauran is sitting. You were wearing a cloak and had a cat with you." Dorothy responded calmly after listening to the little fox's words, and directly told the results of her miniature corpse investigation, which scared the little fox. Lauran jumped up in her dream. She looked around hurriedly and spoke in surprise.
"Ah! You, how did you find me!"
"They are just some small puppets, a very common means of investigation. Well... let's not waste time. Hurry up and get off the bus. I won't do anything to you."
Such words echoed in the little fox's heart. After hearing them, the little fox couldn't help but droop its ears, and the whole fox's expression suddenly became a little lost.
“Hmm…”
…
On the dark streets of Mon Carlo, under the dim street lights, a skilled coachman was driving a dark carriage quickly on the paved road. In the carriage that was swaying rhythmically, a man in a hooded robe was sitting on the seat in the carriage. The little fox Sarah, whose lower face was also covered by a mask, was sitting on the seat in the carriage. She put her hands in front of her and looked vigilantly at the well-dressed man sitting opposite her. Next to Sarah was a black cat that was also alert and staring at Ed.
Sitting in his seat, Ed looked at Sarah in front of him with a smile, waved his hand and said with a relaxed look.
"Relax a little, Miss Fox. We are in a cooperative relationship. No one here will hurt you. You and your pet don't have to be so nervous." Ed seemed to want to persuade Sarah, but his words did not make Sarah let down her guard. Instead, she spoke quite seriously.
"You let me steal my dreams, but you went to the agreed location to look for me. Your attitude towards cooperation is too insincere."
"Ha, Miss Fox, you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to look for you on purpose. I just used the puppet routine to monitor the surroundings of Stealing Dreams to prevent any suspicious people from approaching. Finding you was purely an accident. If you are unhappy about this, I am willing to apologize to you now."
Facing Sarah, Ed maintained the politeness and manners of a gentleman and spoke slowly and unhurriedly, while Sarah continued to speak with her suspicion intact.
"Do you think...I will believe you so easily?"
"Miss Fox has been in contact with us for a long time. We have never done anything to harm Miss Fox. Miss Fox finally got on this carriage. Isn't this also a manifestation of trust in us? Haha... Besides, Miss Fox, you are acquainted with Lord Pathurnax. Since you can often talk to Lord Pathurnax, we dare not neglect you, Miss Fox. If you complain to him, we, the subordinates, will be in trouble."
Ed went on to speak to Sarah. After hearing what Ed said, Sarah couldn't help but feel refreshed and suddenly became much more energetic.
"Is it possible... Is it a rare honor to come and talk to His Majesty the Dragon?" Sarah asked Ed, and Ed answered with a smile.
"Of course, that's the Dream Dragon... Even if I want to listen to his guidance, it will take a lot of effort."
After hearing Ed say that it was not as easy for ordinary Rosicrucians to contact Pathurnax as it was for her, Sarah's vigilance and displeasure were swept away in an instant, and she became full of energy, just as she often did in her dreams.
"Ha... It seems so difficult for you to meet His Majesty the Dragon. Actually, I tell you that His Majesty the Dragon is very easy to talk to. You don't have to be so nervous when facing him. By the way... Do you have any golden candies? The kind that you often see sold on the street. If you give me some, I might be able to tell you a little about His Majesty the Dragon..."
"Meow!"
"Hiss! Hey, Xiao Hei! What are you doing?!"
Sarah changed her attitude and spoke quickly to Ed, and at this moment the black cat beside her seemed a little unhappy, and immediately jumped onto Sarah's knees and grabbed her hand. Sarah then struggled to throw the black cat aside.
Looking at the girl entangled with the black cat in front of him, Ed continued to speak with a smile.
"But then again... I really didn't expect that the person who could invade other people's dreams and steal their memories, play tricks on the Black Dream Hunters in their dreams, and is the key figure in the remnant of the Dream Knights' faith... is actually such a young girl. It's really rare to have such extraordinary achievements at such a young age... I may have a little idea of why Lord Paarthurnax values you..."
Hearing Ed's praise, Sarah couldn't help feeling relieved, and her expression seemed to become even more proud.
"Ha, of course. After all, I... Hey, Xiao Hei, stop it! Hiss! Don't really scratch me, it hurts..."
Looking at the girl who was quarreling with her black cat, Ed smiled and nodded silently. Through Ed's sight, Dorothy's eyes were slightly focused on the black cat that was tormenting Sarah, and her expression seemed to be thinking about something.
…
After traveling for some time, the carriage controlled by Dorothy gradually drove to the edge of the city of Mon Carlo. Dorothy, who was in the hotel suite, looked at the map of Mon Carlo on the coffee table in front of her and confirmed that they were already near the target point.
Then, Dorothy drove the carriage into an alley and slowly stopped, then asked Ed to get out of the carriage with Sarah and her black cat. The dream puppet that Sarah was controlling had moved to a safe distance and was released, and Dorothy also controlled Lauran to return to her residence at the same time.
Although Dorothy could continue to accuse Lauran to let the guards of the secret prison go, doing so would make it easy for Edward to confront Lauran the next day, thus making Lauran aware of the fact that she was accused that night. Therefore, Dorothy decided to sneak into the secret prison by herself.
"The secret prison where the VIP is held that the Tenth Young Master mentioned is nearby...Should we knock out the guards and sneak in?"
