Whispering Verse

Shade said and thought again:

"This is not difficult for Margaret. She is very rich. Calculated, even if interest is added, the amount of money owed that year and the cost of other materials are only less than 100,000 pounds."

Shade was surprised that he could say "less than one hundred thousand pounds".

"That's a lot of money for an ordinary stonemason, but probably nothing for a princess."

"So, I asked her to solve this matter completely. She can't spend the money herself. The Angevin royal family should take the initiative to pay, and make most people satisfied with the result."

The witch held her face:

"I originally planned to arrange the work of collecting the relics or investigating the earth, but after thinking about it, there is no need. After all, if she really becomes an apprentice, she will have plenty of time to grow. But the means of dealing with things will not become stronger as her strength increases. I'm looking forward to it. How your princess lover is going to handle this matter is so greedy."

"Yes, I am indeed a little greedy."

Shade did not deny it.

"I didn't say anything about you."

The blonde witch said teasingly:

"I mean Margaret Anjou. She longs for the power of the witch, but she is also greedy for normal love. Isn't this greed?"

Luvia said something similar.

"Of course, I owe you a promise. You can use this promise in exchange for her direct passing of the test. There are rumors that the incident twenty years ago also involved MI6, coupled with the prejudice and stubbornness that time has given people, this Although the test does not involve a ring warlock, it is not easy to solve. If you use that promise in exchange for me to declare her qualified directly, my future apprentice will probably be very grateful to you and maybe you can get a good one. night."

She suggested, and then saw Shade shaking his head slightly with satisfaction:

"Margaret also has her own pride. If I help her, she will not hate me, but she will definitely complain about me. Besides, I am also looking forward to seeing what methods she will use to solve the problem of the Stonemasons Association. If you handle it well, you might be able to earn fame and prestige for yourself."

He could ask about MI6 matters by himself, and Director Anlos wouldn't mind him looking through the files.

Miss Benenice did not comment, and temporarily ignored the topic, and returned the mithril cube in her hand to Shade:

"What are you going to do next in the city? Continue to explore the story of Randall Valley?"

"Yes, I have witnessed two of the six stories, and there are not many left. Oh, yesterday I gave Luvia the [Power of the Earth: Field of Fertility], the purple-eyed female diviner. "

"You don't have to tell me this, it's your trophy."

"But one of the characteristics of the chosen ones of the earth is that they have the power of [the power of the earth]."

The witch was stunned for a moment before she realized what Shade had said:

"The Chosen One of the Earth?"

"Yes."

His face was very calm:

"This is a fragment of a psalm in the possession of the Church of the Sun. I have people in the Church of the Sun. So far, the Church of the Sun has not shared this news, but I think it will probably spread out soon."

"So."

"It's not me, it's definitely not me. Miss Benanis, you know I have many, many secrets. In fact, I have met every one of the chosen ones. Yes, Iluna Bayas, Ivan ·Darkness, Joy Barton, Sister Devlyn, and even Ser Lykins Priscilla."

He stared closely at the surprised blond lady:

"I said at the campfire that I have a lot of secrets. In some ways, I'm chasing the Chosen One, but I definitely can't be the Chosen One. Yes, it's possible for anyone, but I'm definitely not. possible."

"So."

"It is impossible for Luvia Anat. I have confirmed it in a special way, and she is definitely not it. Miss Benanis, instead of paying attention to me and Luvia, you should think about the one who disappeared seventy years ago." Mr. Thomas Granger. That’s why I say he is important.”

He stretched slightly:

"No one said that the chosen one must be a human being. Mr. Thomas Granger is currently in an undead state. As long as he does not reach the real end, he may be the chosen one. After all, the known earth is currently He only has three levels of power, and Luvia and I are definitely not the same, so isn’t it normal to doubt him?”

Miss Benanis nodded slightly, and then noticed that after the topic shifted to the "chosen one", Shade suddenly had a wonderful temperament of being in complete control of the situation.

Looking at the handsome face facing the window, the weather today is not bad. In the sunlight entering the room, the witch's eyesight can even see little bits of dust. And in that light, that face looked so charming and approachable. Just like the moon at night, it is always there, but people don't often observe it. But if you look up occasionally, you will inevitably become intoxicated and crazy about it.

Vanessa Benenice woke up with a start and immediately looked away from Shade's face. I felt a little panicked in my heart. What just happened was clearly a sign of a slight loss of control:

"The sequelae of being infected with the madness of the earth? Or is the effect of the potion you drank on Monday not over yet?"

Of course, she admitted that the pink fragrance was fascinating. When she reported the "Cemetery of St. Perry" to the Speaker in the Parliament yesterday, the other witches in the Parliament said that she had become more beautiful.

"No, we can't think about that potion anymore! It's a derivative of the relic after all."

She warned herself in her heart, but when she thought about it, she inevitably thought about the moment when she lay in Shade's arms, trembling and lost consciousness in the cold church. She bit the inside of her lip lightly with her teeth to wake herself up, then raised her head and looked out the window to prevent Shade from seeing the red glow on her face. But after all, he secretly glanced at the young detective who was thinking, and then he had to admit that that was indeed a face that was enough to attract the witch.

"If I were the first to meet him, would I make the same choice as Carina?"

Some kind of inappropriate thought naturally appeared in a small corner of my heart.

Although he had to attend a banquet this Wednesday night, Shade's time during the day was not completely wasted. After Mr. Thomas Granger's identity was confirmed, he became more and more curious about what was in the mithril cube.

So after asking the witch's maid to go to Margaret to get the invitation, Shade planned to explore those seemingly simple "urban legends of Randall Valley City".

"The weirdo in the clock tower of Randall Valley City" was Shade's first target, but he spent the whole morning checking the clock tower. In addition to a batch of banned addictive hallucinogenic drugs hidden in the wooden box at the top of the clock tower, Nothing was found.

So he had no choice but to write an anonymous report letter to the Randall Valley Police Department with resentment, and threw a handful of bullets into the boxes of hallucinogenic drugs to help the hiders aggravate their crimes.

At noon, he invited Luvia to go with him to the White River Fish Restaurant, which is said to "cook delicious food that shines".

Of course, they couldn't find any glowing food, but at least the lunch was quite delicious, and even Luvia was full of praises. Moreover, Shade was sure that the Bell Tower medicine found in the morning was not used in this restaurant.

The target for the afternoon was "the magical aquatic creatures that appear in the lower reaches of the Elrond River in the eastern part of Randall Valley City." According to local rumors, it is a terrifying creature that looks like a woolly monkey, can move underwater for a long time, and likes to pull swimming children into the water and drown them.

In order to determine whether this was true, Shade visited villagers outside the city who were said to have seen this creature. Then he personally cut open the ice at the location where he saw it, and jumped into the winter river to look for this "aquatic monkey" traces.

Doing this in winter is obviously not a wise choice.

Because of the "water breathing" spell, Shade did not float after entering the water. He spent nearly two hours searching for unusual signs under the water's surface along the bottom of the river. Dark vision and his own high perception prevented the chaotic and cold water from causing too much obstruction to his vision. This allowed him to pick up a pile of 1 ohr coins and several small coins under the river in just two hours. Rings, rusted inferior gemstone rings and other small jewelry, but only the magical creature he was looking for was not found.

By the time Shade lost patience and wanted to go ashore and return to the city, it was already past four in the afternoon. At this time, he not only had coins and rings in his pocket, but also two rusty gold necklaces, a silver bracelet, a pile of metal brooches and several gemstone earrings.

While she was underwater trying to swim to the shore, she suddenly whispered in her ear:

[The stone on the left. 】

"What?"

He picked up the two-fist-sized stone at the bottom of the river, and saw dots of golden flashes with the faint light in his hand:

"Gold ore?"

[Yes, don’t you always complain about lack of money? 】

she said with a smile.

"Are there any gold mines locally?"

With questions in mind, Shade swam to the shore holding the stone. Nothing was gained this afternoon, and the water monkey was nowhere to be seen, but at least the pile of "trash" he picked up was still valuable. It is actually not difficult for a ring warlock to make money, the difficulty is just how to make money.
