Whispering Verse

Iluna urged Shade to tell Luvia about the [Power of the Earth] as soon as possible, so Shade, who originally did not plan to go to the Randall Valley on Tuesday, was still meeting the purple-eyed girl in the southern city in the evening. have dinner together.

This time the two chose to dine at a club in the city recommended by Miss Benanis a few days ago. After dinner, they returned to Cherry Leaf Street and entered the Church of the Forgotten together.

Luvia sat down in the abandoned church vestibule and waited for a while. Shade went home and brought the amputated hand bone over. Little Mia also followed him, seeming to want to clear up after eating.

Because the stone statue of a middle-aged man sat on the bench on the right side of the central aisle, the two of them sat on the left side.

Shade handed the wooden box to her. Luvia opened it on her lap and saw the hand bones engraved with golden runes:

"Power of the Earth. Are you sure you want me to learn this spell?"

"Yes, I even have more ideas. Do you remember the ceremony of the chosen one? The feast of the Earth Mother. The banquet requires people to attend. Although the details of the ceremony are not known at the moment, if possible, the chosen one will hold it During the ceremony, I hope you can also attend."

The girl with purple eyes smiled:

"I can only stay in Randall Valley for about a month, but the ceremony of the chosen ones won't be until spring."

Although she said this, she still reached out and touched the white hand bones.

Without even using any ceremony, the hand bones were turned into ashes directly under Luvia's hands. The golden miraculous aura surrounded her, and the heavy strength and vitality of life swept around her.

Then, Luvia's life ring automatically appeared behind her. As the golden miraculous spiritual light accumulated, the first spiritual rune of the five rings [Abundance] was carved for her.

"Thumbacary [Power of the Earth·Field of Fertility]."

Luvia opened her eyes, and the purple light in her eyes seemed even more mysterious:

"Iluna is right. All the branch spells and thaumaturgy of [Power of the Earth] are made of normal soil. After turning on this thaumaturgy, I can protect a certain area around it from abnormal site effects. Impact."

After speaking, he chuckled again:

"Even if the problem in the Randall Valley is solved, this magical technology can help me grow flowers and grass in the future."

"So, are you the chosen one of the earth?"

Shade asked again, Luvia shook her head slightly:

"No, I can observe myself in the mirror."

"This matter is more complicated than before."

Shade doubted the soul of the man he met in the Emerald Dream. The man seemed to know everything. Last Sunday, Shade had already used the "Moon Library" to give the man's photo to Miss Benanis. If you wait a little longer, maybe the witch will give him the result soon.

Things went much smoother than Shade expected. The photo was given on Sunday night. When Shade visited Randall Valley City again on Wednesday morning, Miss Benanis, who seemed to be in a good mood, told His good news:

"Good morning, Shade."

It was still the witch's manor. Shade sat down in the study, and the maid brought tea:

"The ring magicians of the Church of the Sun in this diocese found St. Perry's cemetery yesterday afternoon."

She said with a smile and handed Shade a money order:

"The Parliament got a lot of benefits from the Church of the Sun, and the Speaker gave all the credit to me. I asked Miss Carina what you like, but she said you like cats, and you only like one cat. So please forgive my vulgarity and I will give you a money order directly, which you can redeem in Kasenlik."

Xia Deke didn't think this gift was vulgar at all, because the amount on it was clearly "2000" and the unit was gold pounds. Kasenrik's money order can provide exchange business for gold pound units. After all, there are only two mainstream currencies in the material world.

"What a wonderful gift."

"This is not a gift, this is what you deserve. However, I did not find any clues about the elf girl who took away the unicorn. Although St. Byrons has a communication channel with the Parliament, it is still a little bit rash to investigate. Inappropriate."

She looked at Shade with a smile:

"There is another good news. I have found the middle-aged man you asked me to help find on Sunday."

Xia De was delighted:

"Oh, please tell me first, what era is this person from?"

"The other party disappeared in the year 1780 of the Universal Calendar, less than a hundred years ago."

"1780?"

This date was very familiar to Shade. After he frowned slightly, he remembered this special year. Seeing that Shade understood, Miss Benanis nodded:

"It seems that you remember that when Sirius communicated with the Granger family, the earl mentioned that not long ago, a man calling himself John Watson sent news about the long-missing member of the Granger family. That’s right, the portrait you gave is Mr. Thomas Granger, a man who disappeared seventy years ago and there is still no clue.”

After speaking, he added with a smile:

"In my opinion, you should know more about Mr. Thomas Granger than I do. After all, the Earl also said that you even took away his few relics."

At this time, Shade was still in shock. After hearing what the witch said, he quickly took out the mithril cube, and then described in detail the "Mr. Granger's last words" he discovered and when he returned the two medals. heard the news.

He never imagined that the person who helped him in the Emerald Dream was actually the owner of the relic he came into contact with when he came to Randall Valley City.

"It's really interesting. If Mr. Thomas Granger is really just a low-level warlock, this alchemical item is definitely not something he can own. It is the work of a top alchemist master. Needless to say, he knows exactly what it is."

The witch played with the cube:

"Moreover, ordinary souls do not have the ability to enter and exit the Emerald Dream at will. In fact, his soul actually has the ability to stop the spread of the black mud."

Even the witch must use the Mystery Lock with all her strength to achieve this step.

"You have a very strong sense of perception. Do you have any special feelings when you touch the other person in your dream?"

Miss Benenice asked again, and Shade thought for a while:

"They are undoubtedly undead, and the strength of their souls is astonishing."

He didn't feel anything was wrong. If it weren't for the amazing strength of his soul, Thomas Granger wouldn't even have the qualifications to appear in the angelic relic [Emerald Dream].

"It seems that the missing Mr. Granger encountered some things both before and after his life. However, he should probably be considered a good camp. If he hadn't given you the [Power of the Earth] spell, this week Everything we encounter cannot be solved so easily.”

In fact, the puppet issue can be easily solved, after all, it mainly depends on little Mia.

"Is there anything more that can be uncovered about Mr. Thomas Granger?"

Shade asked again. Miss Benenice only dictated these things and did not give him the documents.

"When I asked Siris to communicate with the Earl, Earl Granger claimed that he only knew very little about the great uncle he had never met. However..."

The witch looked at him with a smile:

"He lied."

"What did the count hide?"

"You need to understand this yourself. Maybe you can use the magician's methods or words to find out the secrets that he doesn't want to tell. But I want to remind you that the Granger family has a very high reputation in the local area, and the family has always He believes in the sun god [Old Man with the Lamp] and has an unusual relationship with the church, so it’s best not to use the Ring Warlock’s methods on him easily.”

Shade nodded. A noble of this level might even hire a low-level warlock who came from nowhere and was short of money. Earl Granger was the de facto earl. He was the general person in charge of the construction of the shipyard where William Anjou and Margaret came to cut the ribbon.

"Do you need my help? I once said that I still owe you a promise. Yes. Promise."

The witch asked, but Shade refused:

"Mr. Thomas Granger's matter is quite important. I will ask him personally. Will he attend any public events recently?"

It is not a wise move to contact someone again in private. Meeting again in social situations can greatly bring the relationship closer. Of course, if he really couldn't figure it out, Shade wouldn't mind seeking the advice of Dr. Schneider, the "Master of Dreaming" and "Master of Entering the Sky". He just wanted to get some information from ordinary people, and there was no need to waste too much time on it.

Miss Benenice thought for a moment:

"I knew you would ask this, tonight. The Earl hosted a banquet for Prince William of Anjou and Margaret. A private banquet was not in line with the rules, so it was held as a banquet. I also received the invitation, but I never attend such events. . If you want to attend, you can take my invitation and say you are."

She thought for a moment, seemingly weighing their looks and ages, but Shade shook her head:

"I have used the name John Watson too much in other places, so don't let it have anything to do with you. I will go to Margaret later and ask for an invitation, which will be very convenient."

"Yes, yes, your relationship with that princess is very unusual."

She smiled, and Shade asked again:

"Speaking of which, have you decided what test you are going to give Margaret?"

"Yes, for Sylvia's sake, I won't embarrass her. Moreover, the Speaker also talked to me privately. If the princess of Kasenlik can be made a witch apprentice, it will be very useful to do some things in the future. It’s convenient, so just let me test it a little bit. It’s a simple matter, do you know the money that the Anjou royal family owes the Masons’ Guild?”

"Of course. Twenty years ago, the Anjou royal family commissioned the local masons' association to build a colossus at the royal mausoleum in Willendale. However, the colossus collapsed on a stormy night, destroying the mausoleum of the previous kings."
