Whispering Verse

"Although it looks magical, it is of no use. [Calling Water] is the basic spell of ring magicians. No one will face water shortage. What's more, if your sword pierces the earth, a clear spring will gush out. Maybe, The true purpose of this cup is to purify water.”

Luvia commented, taking a sip of the water in the clay chalice to confirm that it was really just clean water.

"It's really useless. But it would be interesting if a cup appeared every time I used the spell 'Power of the Earth·Healing Aura'."

Shade said with a smile.

"But where are you going to find so much contaminated land? That Miss Grant also said that a similar situation will only occur once every ten years, and the Orthodox Church will help solve it."

Shade nodded, but he always felt that the so-called "contaminated land" in Randall Valley was definitely not that simple. Now he and Luvia are here, and the man in the dream's description of the "Crazy Land" is so vague, and a similar situation has occurred in Tobesk. In his opinion, it was just a matter of time before he encountered the land that needed purification again.

"Speaking of which, did your Mithril Cube react to the story of 'Crazy Land'?"

Seeing that Shade was in a daze, Luvia asked again.

Shade shook his head:

"The strangest thing is this. Miss Grande clearly said that this is a situation that occurs locally every ten years and should meet the requirements of 'The Story of Randall Valley'. But it is a pity that Silver Cube No response to that. So, what exactly qualifies as, the story of Randall Valley?”

After lunch, Luvia said goodbye to Shade and returned to the Prophet's Association, while Shade walked around the city again. When we arrived at the Wilde Opera House, it was 2:40 in the afternoon. At this time, the afternoon opera had begun to enter. After showing the ticket given to him by Miss Grande, Shade climbed the steps to the third floor of the opera house.

Although the city of Randall Valley itself is not as large as Tobesk, the opera house looks larger than the one in Tobesk. In Shade's opinion, there should be no accidents in picking up the goods. He even thought about going to the abandoned manor outside the city before dinner after returning to Tobesk.

At three o'clock sharp, Shade saw the opening of the opera in the box and also welcomed his delivery person. Miss Grande did not show up, but a young girl dressed as a maid brought him a suitcase containing the three promised echo flowers.

After the maid left, Shade also planned to leave. He was not interested in the opera that was being performed at all. Just as he walked out of the private room door with his suitcase in hand, he suddenly felt heat in his chest.

"Um?"

I was just stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the detection witch's badge was working. And in the short two seconds that Shade was stunned, the heat of the badge rose rapidly. Shade fully understood what this meant. A real great witch was not far away from him, and was getting closer.

"There is actually a great witch in Randall Valley?"

This frightened him even more than the undead in the morning.

Mother-in-law Cassandra is in Middleburg, Miss Carina is still in Saladir County, and regardless of whether Miss Sylvia will follow Margaret here, at least she is definitely not here now. Miss Aurora corresponded with Shade some time ago, and she has no plans to come to Randall Valley in the near future. Therefore, the great witch who appears here must be any lady that Shade does not know.

No matter who the other party is, Shade can never face an unfamiliar great witch alone without any preparation. He immediately turned around and returned to the box with the box:

"There is no reason for the other party to be able to find me. This is the first time that my badge has become hot since I came to the local area. It must be a coincidence."

He turned the suitcase into a toy and put it away, and sat on the sofa with some anxiety, feeling the change in the heat of the badge on his chest.

But unfortunately, the heat is getting stronger and stronger, which means that the unknown witch is really getting closer. When Shade heard footsteps outside the door, he had even put the extract of weathervane bluegrass on the tip of his tongue, and was about to stand up and hide in the corner, then cover his face with his hands and turn into an angel statue to hide.

After all, there are no windows in the boxes of the opera house.

But fortunately, the target of the strange witch was not here. Judging from the footsteps, she and the people around her entered the box next door.

Shade nervously put his ear to the door, listening to the sound, and wanted to leave as soon as possible after making sure the other party closed the door. There must be followers of the witch around the great witch. Followers with only a small amount of power cannot tell the difference by seeing Shad. But if it is a real witch apprentice like Tifa and Miss Rita Swift, Shad There is also the possibility of being discovered.

Unfortunately, although the witch entered the next room, there were still footsteps in the corridor.

Shade listened patiently, and then heard the subtle sound of high heels stepping on the soft carpet outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door:

"Mr. Watson, can I come in?"

It was Miss Grande's voice.

"She has something to do with the witch? No, she clearly did when we shook hands in the morning."

[There is no witch's power. 】

Shade did not speak at the door, but took a step forward, returned to the sofa and sat down:

"Is this Miss Grande? Please come in."

After saying that, he stood up and the lady who looked to be in her twenties also walked in.

Although it was Miss Grande's voice that was heard just now, the one who walked in was not the slightly ordinary face he saw in the morning, but an exquisite face that was not inferior to the girl next to Shade.

This is obviously what she really looks like.

When I saw this lady in the morning, she was wearing a very ordinary winter outfit. At this time, I was probably dressed a little more formally because I was coming to the opera house. But it was not a dress, but a uniform dress of some kind, with a round badge on the chest.

The main body of the badge is golden, with extremely complex patterns on it. Some are like the rising sun, and others are like the meaningless ink patterns in religious murals in churches.

Shade didn't recognize this.

"Good afternoon, Miss Grande, are you? This face is really beautiful. What can I do? I thought the commission I accepted has ended."

He asked pretending to be hesitant, and confirmed again that the lady in front of him really did not have the power of the witch.

The sorceress smiled and said:

"It is indeed over. There are no other problems in that land. However, I informed my friend about this matter, a high-level warlock who is very powerful in the local area. She has questions about that land and how you can solve the problem. She is very interested in the spell. Mr. Watson, are you interested in meeting her? That lady is next door now."

Although this proposal is presumptuous, at least it looks good on the surface. Shade claimed to be a ring warlock from a foreign country. If he could get to know the local high-level warlocks through this incident, it would be very helpful in the future.

But the problem is that the high-level warlock cannot be a witch. It is impossible for all the witches in the Witch Council to not mind his existence. Miss Carina has repeated this many times.

"I'm honored to be invited."

Shade said very cautiously. He did not refuse. He knew that he would deal with many things in this city, and judging from past experience, the witch was unavoidable.

"However, I was fine in the afternoon, but I received a letter from my friend at noon and now I have to go see him."

He tried to keep his expression calm to cover up his inner activities when he was lying:

"Please apologize to the lady on my behalf, but any time for the rest of the week, I think I can go see her."

Miss Grande still maintained her elegant smile:

"Of course, then please accept this ticket."

She handed over the tickets to Chad Wilde Opera House again:

"Tomorrow afternoon, still at this time, the lady will meet you here."

"Yes, I won't miss the date this time."

Shade promised, and then left under the watch of Miss Grande.

As he walked through the corridor, he never dared to look back. It wasn't until I walked down the stairs that I felt like my back was soaked. He was afraid that he would hear the sound of the door opening behind him halfway:

"But...which witch is this?"

(Little Mia is running.)

Thursday night at 8pm. Witch Council.

As the thirteen great witches left through the fog doors behind their respective seats, another meeting of the witch council came to an end. However, before the scent of the ladies' perfume dissipated, the fog door opened again, and Miss Sylvia, Miss Carina and Miss Aurora returned one after another.

Miss Aurora wore a black dress with an extremely slender waist. She stood behind her chair, holding the back of the chair with one hand, frowning slightly as if she was thinking about something.

Miss Carina was wearing a luxurious sky blue dress and a small silver crown. She was sitting on her stone back chair, holding her hands together and looking at the round stone table illuminated by the unknown skylight. Tifa stood behind her with a peaceful smile, still wearing the maid's dress.

The young Miss Sylvia was wearing a relatively simple red dress, with her hands folded in front of her chest, leaning against the wall at the edge of the circular space in the center of the Parliament, her right index finger and thumb pads painted with red nail polish, looking quite For some anxious back and forth friction.

No one spoke, but waited patiently. Fortunately, it only took a few minutes for another fog door to open, and the old witch Granny Cassandra walked in first, followed by her apprentice Miss Rita Swift. The young girl seemed a little nervous. After bowing respectfully to the three great witches, she pulled out a chair and let her teacher sit down.

Behind Miss Swift, Shade, who was waiting at the Cassandra Auction House in Fort Midhill, also walked in.

"Good evening, Miss Carina, Miss Aurora, and Miss Sylvia."

He greeted the great witches, and the witches and apprentices, who had different looks but were as bright as delicate flowers, also smiled at him.
