Chapter 331 Clues to the Moon Palace
Frederick looked at Qin Mo's cold face, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before continuing to speak in a low voice.
"Perhaps you think I am involved in your father's death, but I swear on the honor of my family that I did not harm Prince Qin Lan."
"With your abilities, you naturally can't harm your father, who's already at the Heavenly Realm." Qin Mo didn't really believe in oaths, but he felt he shouldn't be so forceful. Regardless of whether Fetley was related to Qin Lan's death or not, he couldn't interrogate him; the initiative wasn't in his hands.
"That book records Achilles' treasure, so haven't you thought about sending someone to explore it again?" Qin Mo brewed a pot of fresh tea, her tone becoming calm and even.
Frederick gave a wry smile and said, "I sent two official knights to accompany your father across the sea to the north, but neither of them returned. This made me realize that some things are not something that ordinary people can possess."
“Since then, I have always been tormented by something inexplicable. I know it is my guilt towards His Highness Qin Lan, and also the… ** in my body. Even though I understand that the treasure of the Elven Emperor should not belong to me, that treasure still torments me in my dreams.”
Frederick looked at Qin Mo, seemingly suppressing his reluctance, and took out a silver box.
“Your father only drew a copy of the manuscript. I think this manuscript should be given to you now, so that I can be freed from the torment of **.”
Qin Mo looked at the silver box on the table and said calmly, "Why do you think this should be given to me?"
“Because you have elven blood in your veins, and you are not from the Western Continent, whatever happens has nothing to do with the Western Continent.” Frederick looked at Qin Mo, his eyes turning cold and ruthless, and his words made people feel uncomfortable.
Qin Mo nodded slightly. Frederick was right. There was no use for Frederick keeping this note. Even if he dared to explore the treasure and died in the north, it wouldn't be a loss for the Western Continent. After all, he was a Great Xia person.
Qin Mo reached out and took the silver box, feeling the texture of the patterns on it. She wondered if she should open it, and what would be inside.
"I've already written to my people to come to Riga. Once they arrive, you can send someone to discuss business matters with them." Qin Mo made his decision. He had taken Frederick's things, so he would compensate him with business terms; he didn't want to owe the Prussians any favors.
Sure enough, Frederick was overjoyed, his wrinkles crinkling with laughter. After he took his leave, the two knights standing nervously at the door were completely bewildered, unable to understand why their king was suddenly so happy.
It took Frederick a long time for the door to the suite to open a crack. Leif carefully checked that no one was in the outer room before blushing and coming out. Qin Mo was entertaining guests outside, while she was sleeping inside, which made her feel very embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I really can't get up to greet the guests... I'm so sorry..."
"Revere, don't feel bad. Uninvited guests don't need to be treated with special hospitality."
When powerful and influential people visit each other, they usually send someone to inform each other in advance and arrange a time to meet. It is extremely hateful for someone like Frederick to disturb Qin Mo's spring dream.
"Oh! Who is the guest? Should I schedule a time for a follow-up visit?" Reeves, who was also familiar with aristocratic etiquette, asked Qin Mo whether she should follow up with the guest.
“I don’t plan to return the visit to Frederick, Prussia. There’s no need for that.”
Reeves' face instantly turned from red to white, and she stammered, "Is it... His Majesty Frederick?"
After receiving Qin Mo's affirmative reply, Leif's face turned even uglier. A king was visiting, and she, a viscount, was sleeping in her suite. If word got out, she would definitely be labeled as arrogant and presumptuous.
Looking at Reeves, whose face was deathly pale, Qin Mo casually said, "I've already written to my people and asked them to send someone to Riga Fortress. They will escort you to Madeira, where there are no rumors or gossip, and you don't need to care about anyone's opinion of you."
Reeves' complexion improved, and her gaze towards Qin Mo returned to one of infatuation and adoration. As a child, she had grown up in a noble family and was used to the fear that commoners had shown her. She had also witnessed her grandfather's flattery of the Earl. Now, Qin Mo's appearance made her feel that this was a real man, and those rough-looking Western men were nothing compared to him.
Qin Mo saw that Leif's eyes had become watery again, and immediately said, "Stop thinking nonsense, you can hardly get out of bed!"
Leif was stunned for a moment, then realized that Qin Mo had misunderstood her. Her face immediately turned ashen with embarrassment, and she ran into the suite, closing the door behind her and refusing to come out again.
Qin Mo smiled helplessly and turned her gaze back to the silver box on the table. Perhaps it contained the answer she needed, or perhaps it was a trap that would kill without any compensation.
The box was opened, and inside was an old notebook wrapped in thick velvet.
This note is quite long and is clearly not an ordinary letter, but rather something like a reading notebook. It is made of soft leather, the source of which is unknown.
"Sigh! Luckily, Allen had the foresight!" After Qin Mo awakened the power of the stars, Allen forced him to learn Elvish for a while. At the time, he was very frustrated, but now he was able to use it. The text on the notebook was not Latin, Chinese, or English, but the beautiful Elvish script that Ellie liked.
The journal belonged to a man named Xia Er, an official in the Elven royal court responsible for communication with various tribes of the Western Continent. The journal contained records of trivial matters concerning the Elven royal court, and perhaps due to its antiquity, Qin Mo couldn't understand it at first glance.
