Whispering Verse

"Are you just checking information? No problem, it's all trivial."

The elf girl breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her legs and looked at Shade, but Shade said again:

"There's one more thing. This may be a bit troublesome, but if it's really found, I can give you a generous reward."

He wrote a few runes on the snow:

"I can teach you the lost ancient elven runes."

The elf girl pursed her lips and looked at the snow. Shade recognized her clan at a glance last time, and had such a good relationship with the unicorn. The elf girl did not doubt his knowledge:

"Ancient Elf Runes"

She is trying to hide her heartbeat:

"What is it? It's okay if I don't do bad things. It's not too bad."

"I know you have the power of space. When you have nothing to do, use the spiritual light of the spiritual runes to illuminate the walls of the St. Byrons building and the walls of the underground part of the room."

Past experience shows that the entrances to the [Space Maze] are all underground:

"If you can discover the hidden space that appears under the aura, please tell me."

It would be of great help to Shade if he could travel freely to and from the academy.

"Well if that's all, no problem."

"I know it's going to take up a lot of your time, so I can pay you in advance."

Dots of light traces formed on Shade's left side. The unicorn looked at the stars curiously, and the elf girl thought that the stars had arrived here. Then she realized that it was just a beautiful bookshelf. Just when she was thinking about what kind of spell or thaumaturgy it was, Shade took out a translucent starry sky-colored book from the bookshelf and handed it to her:

“You can take half an hour to copy them down or write them down.”

She is trusted by the unicorn, which represents a kind and noble soul, so Shade is not worried that she will take his knowledge and do nothing.

The elf girl carefully opened the book, and then saw ancient elf poems and translations that were not recorded in today's libraries. She took a breath, took off her gloves and continued to flip through the book.

At this time, Luvia glanced at Shade, and Shade actually read her inner thoughts from her eyes:

"How generous."

Shade did not feel that he was very generous. He was indeed spying on the secret of the elf girl's ability to travel between St. Byrons and the Randall Valley. But equally, he won't do mean things.

He believed that at least before the big incident in Randall Valley was over, he could find a way to gain enough favor with Miss Elf to make her willing to share the secret.

After using her notebook to copy down the poems provided by Shade, the elf girl Emilia Siamold planned to go back. She solemnly thanked the two of them, but the white little beast was obviously reluctant to be separated from Shade.

It chirped in a low voice, biting the hem of Shade's clothes. After a long time, at the urging of the elf girl, it followed her into the dense forest with its head hanging down. But after walking a few steps, he stopped and shouted loudly at the elf girl several times. The latter obviously mastered the skill of communicating with unicorns. After confirming the other party's meaning, he took out a small pair of scissors, cut off a bunch of its tail feathers, and then gave Shade the white hair that glowed in the dark night. :

"Her gift to you."

The elf girl said softly, and then explained softly:

"The tail feathers of a unicorn are a very powerful special material. The unicorn gives it to you, which means it is willing to be your friend. It really likes you."

"Thanks."

Shade accepted this special gift, stood by the bonfire with Luvia and watched Emilia leave, and agreed to meet here again at the same time next Tuesday night.

After the glowing figure disappeared, Luvia smiled and said:

"You are really popular. Although I heard you talk about unicorns, I didn't expect them to trust you so much."

Shade gave her all the bunch of pure white hair:

"How about mixing it with wool and knitting it into a scarf? Or knitting it into gloves to make a glove with a sacred protective effect. I think the doctor can help."

"This is a gift someone gave you. What did you give it to me for?"

The girl with purple eyes said, looking at Shade with purple halo eyes.

[Your answer next will determine your treatment tonight. 】

The moonlight is beautiful, and "her" voice is still so beautiful.

Shade said seriously:

"It's just right to decorate you with unicorn hair. You are very suitable for this color. Holy and beautiful, like the flowers blooming on the top of the rock wall, you can see it, but it is hard to touch."

Luvia showed a satisfied smile:

"You rarely praise others like this. Although you claim to be semi-literate, you sometimes feel... Oh, Shade, since I came to Randall Valley, you have never watched the morning sun with me. Doro Are Qian and that princess obsessed with you every night?"

She carefully put away the unicorn's tail feathers, and then hugged Shade's neck:

"It's too wasteful to mix it into wool. I'm going to make it into a hair tie. The doctor's skills are very good, but old John should be better. So Shade, where do you want to spend tonight? The Fertile Land Inn , or maybe here?”

she asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm going back. I'm not in the habit of sleeping in the wild."

Shade hugged her by the campfire, and Luvia put her chin on Shade's shoulder, blushing slightly and saying "Hmm."

However, she couldn't see Shade's surprised expression at this time. Through the moonlight and the bonfire, Shade clearly saw the transparent and incomplete figure behind Luvia. The slightly mature Luvia stood on tiptoes slightly, kissed the corner of Shade's lips and then disappeared.

Holding Luvia in his arms and kissing her, this behavior was full of guilt but actually nothing wrong, making Shade quite at a loss.

(Little Mia is running.)

"Good morning, Director Anlos."

"Good morning, Shade."

On Saturday morning, in the restaurant on the first floor of the Ronaldo Club in the West District of Tobesk City, Shadra pulled up a chair and sat opposite Director Anlos with his cat in his arms.

This is a high-end club in the city, specially provided for secret meetings between nobles and prominent people. It is said that members of the House of Representatives like to discuss state affairs here. Although the restaurant is larger than Shade's house, there are actually only about a dozen tables. The distance between each table is large, making it safe to talk.

Seeing Shade yawning slightly, Director Anlos asked with a smile while handling his fried salted fish:

"Why, which girl did you spend last night with? Miss Carina is not in the city for the time being, and you are starting to relax?"

Shade did not answer this question. He did not want to talk about his private life when he met with Director Anlos. As for what time I went to bed last night, it’s not easy to answer:

"Princess Margaret of Anjou has talked about the Masonic Association of Randall Valley in her recent letters to me. I have a general understanding of the situation, so I want to ask you about that incident. Excuse me, Colossus Does the collapse and destruction of the mausoleum have something to do with us? Next, I will write to the princess, do we want to talk about this matter?"

"Randall Valley Masons"

This rather ordinary-looking middle-aged man thought for a moment:

"Oh, you remember, the Colossus and the smashed Angevin royal tomb, right? I was not the director at the time, but I remember this very clearly. The Tobesk newspaper published articles for several days in a row, claiming That accident was due to the bad conduct of the Angevin royal family, so the tomb of the late king was damaged in the storm."

Director Anlos smiled. Mia smelled the fried fish on the opposite side and showed a disgusted expression. Then she pawed at Shade's hand and urged him to peel the eggs quickly. Interestingly, this cat is not very interested in fish and has never taken the initiative to catch mice.

"Marguerite Anjou and William Anjou are now in the Randall Valley for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the shipyard. It is not surprising that she is concerned about the Masons. But I heard that the two descendants of the Anjou family went to Over there, it's not just about cutting the ribbon. There is evidence that the princess is here for her own business and William Anjou is here for some gold mine."

The silver knife and porcelain plate made a sweet sound:

"But although it has nothing to do with us, to be more precise, our people were indeed involved in what happened back then."

The middle-aged man said softly, Shade showed a surprised expression, and Director Anlos hurriedly corrected:

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. The collapse of the Colossus under construction had nothing to do with us. It was really just an accident. Our people mingled with the masons at the time and saw the collapse of the Colossus with our own eyes on that stormy night. Did you know? In order to speed up the construction period, the Angevin royal family forced the masons in the Randall Valley to work even on rainy nights. For this, they promised a large reward, but later"

Shade frowned slightly:

"So what exactly happened back then?"

"As you might imagine, when the Colossus collapsed, there were many people from the Randall Valley Masons on the scaffolding. Most of them were dead, and most of the surviving ones were permanently disabled. So you know why Randall The masons' association in the river valley has never given up asking the Anjou royal family to apologize and make up the balance for so many years, right?"

The director shook his head slightly:

"What the Anjou family did was really unethical. Not only did the Masons' Guild die, but also ruined their own reputation. In the end, they didn't even get one crown of wages. If it were me, I wouldn't forgive them easily. . This hatred and resentment, after decades of fermentation, may explode with just a slight push."

From this point of view, the task assigned by Miss Benanis for Margaret is really not simple. From the perspective of outsiders, no matter in the world, workers cannot be owed wages casually.
