Chapter 114 Who will deliver the letter to me?
Celilda shook her head and, as expected, refused: "No, it's far less effective."
"The Sultan gave it to you as a reward, so take it and play with it. It's just right for you since you've just started. You can exchange it for something more useful later."
"The person who found it before said that what I have is a little different from what he presented."
Celilda looked at the person's expression seriously when she said the last sentence.
Tu Xing looked thoughtful: "Will the way I ask make him think there's something wrong with the item?"
"If he handed it in immediately after picking it up, the time was too short and he might not even remember what it looked like."
The young man frowned slightly. "Are you not satisfied with one gold coin per piece? Do you want more?"
Celilda looked enlightened, clearly moved, but she didn't say anything.
After suspecting someone several times, the final result was still a misunderstanding, and Celilda felt a little embarrassed.
During this period of relative silence, Tu Xing took advantage of this opportunity to talk about other topics:
"On the way here, I met Waji. He was worried about the herbs for the wilting medicine. He said there weren't enough, but I don't know any magic to accelerate plant growth."
Celilda: "That's easy."
She turned her head in one direction and shouted, "Xue Rui, bring me the book I put on the third shelf the day before yesterday."
Then he turned back to face her, and said kindly, "Take it and read it. There's a reading technique in it that will help you learn spells later. It's like having a photographic memory."
This is such a pleasant surprise!
Tu Xing smiled sincerely, "Thank you, sir."
He first familiarized himself with the reading technique on the spot, and when he saw that he could learn it through apprenticeship, his eyes lit up even more.
Take out a piece of paper and a pen, and copy down only this paragraph. Use reading techniques to replicate the rest in your mind.
You can only do one side at a time, which is two pages, so find the part that can be used first.
After nearly an hour, Tu Xing raised his head, feeling dizzy and having difficulty concentrating.
Celilda looked over and said, "You're overdrawn. It would be very dangerous if you were to fight. You should go back and rest today."
Tu Xing's heart trembled. He had never thought that such a situation would happen. He couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Isn't it about guiding the elements in the air? How could it be..."
Celilda: "They are mentally exhausted. Guiding them requires concentration. If you force them, you will probably become a fool and bleed from the mouth and nose."
The words are serious and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.
Hearing this, Tu Xing quickly let go, "Yes, then I'll go back and rest. Sorry for bothering you."
Celilda: “No problem.”
They left politely, taking only the handwritten paper with them but no books.
As for the matter of the pocket watch, since the other party did not mention it, Tu Xing felt relieved and avoided any trouble.
The young man walked all the way to the pavilion and met Waji Xia who was waiting.
The other party stood up early and stepped out, blocking the aisle. "What do you mean?"
Tu Xing tilted his head slightly, a bit proud on his face: "I have already got the spell to accelerate plant growth. I can try it again in two days."
Waji's face was filled with surprise and praise, "Then it's a deal!"
Tu Xing: "I need a batch of magic power-increasing medicine in exchange."
"No." Waji's face fell. "What do you mean?"
"Isn't this exactly what you want me to do?"
Tu Xing raised his head slightly. "After we develop it, won't we still have to buy it from you? Why do others not contribute, but I do?"
"My magic level is not worth much?"
Waji frowned, "But this... still requires the approval of His Majesty and the Lord."
Tu Xing: "There are many people over there who need to improve their magic power, including Celilda herself. You are the collection ambassador, why are you suddenly inflexible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Waji's brows relaxed, and excitement overflowed from his body. He slapped his forehead and said, "Yes!"
"Then I'll handle this matter. What's your attribute?"
Tu Xing: "Wind."
After a few perfunctory words, he left, expecting to meet Luo Bo on his way back, but he didn't. Instead, another matter came up.
On the small path leading to the bedroom, an unfamiliar guard came running towards them.
"Lord Cyril?"
Tu Xing stopped, a puzzled look on his face, "I am."
The other party looked at Zhai Ka and Ye Qide behind him and said in a low voice, "Let's talk alone."
Tu Xing signaled the two people behind him to wait there, and walked about ten steps to a secluded place. There was half a building wall and no one in front or behind.
He asked with a scrutinizing look, "What exactly is it?"
The unfamiliar guard looked around, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it out with one hand:
"Someone paid me a lot of money to deliver a letter to you. If you want to reply, you need a gold coin."
Hearing this, Tu Xing looked puzzled. Who would hand a letter to him?
The first person I thought of was Amina. She provided a lot of help when I first arrived here. I haven't been in touch with her for a long time since I gradually got established.
The second thing that came to mind was the group of people who had originally sent him on the mission.
Tu Xing took it, looked at the surface roughly, and removed the sealing wax.
I unfolded the paper inside and quickly glanced at the lower right corner. I found that there was no sender or recipient information, only the content in the middle, with neat handwriting.
"What happened to my daughter? You can trust the person in front of you."
"Be sure to describe her recent situation in detail. It's time to see how you perform."
It was obviously the family of the concubine who committed the crime.
Tu Xing glanced at the other person and asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's for me?"
The unfamiliar guard nodded vigorously. "Yes, since you are Cyril, then that's correct. I'm sending it specifically to you."
Tu Xing suddenly thought of someone - Walid, Shilin's father, a big businessman.
The corners of his mouth immediately curled up slightly, which seemed very meaningful to others. "Thank you very much. I'll think about the content and send it later."
The unfamiliar guard was clearly reluctant to leave. "I'm the most strict with my words and the most strict with my actions. I'll only give you one day."
"Tomorrow at this time and place, bring the letter. Otherwise, I won't be waiting for you."
He even picked up Joe.
Tu Xing found it quite funny. This man was obviously not a palace guard at all, otherwise how could he not know what the concubines had done and his current reputation.
He suppressed his laughter and looked down at the badge hanging on his waist. "What's your name? Let me see the token."
The unfamiliar guard suddenly stepped back. "What's wrong with you? Can you see it just because you want to? I have something else to do. I'll be leaving now."
After saying this, the man left quickly as if escaping.
Tu Xing looked at his back, but ultimately did not call anyone to catch him.
Although Shireen has been challenging him, Walid's attitude towards him is normal, and there may be time for cooperation.
There are only five or six days left until the deadline. If you delay any further, you will be beheaded.
Tu Xing tore the paper into strips, squatted down and buried it in the soil.
He looked thoughtful and walked towards the direction where the concubines were imprisoned.
The two burly men behind them quickly caught up with him. Ye Qide asked, "A letter from your family?"
Tu Xing shook his head: "No, it's the family of a certain concubine. Go check the situation now."
