Whispering Verse

"enough."

Seeing that the black glass jar was damaged, the red dragon maid who was standing silently said suddenly. After Shade took the initiative to take out her hand, she put the lid back on and then returned the black jar to the bottom of the counter.

Then he came back and looked at the weak Shade with empty eyes:

"Guest, you have obtained ownership of me. Do you need the cafe to help you deal with my body?"

This sounded like the saying of a slaughterhouse. Shade, who was pale and felt like he was about to collapse, held on to the table beside him and forced himself to sit down. At this time, he was sweating all over his body. But at the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart at this time. It was like casting a "puppet manipulation" spell. He felt that he could completely control the young witch in front of him, and it was a deeper manipulation than "puppet manipulation".

This is to obtain "permanent control". As long as Shade wants, he can do anything to Miss Fiona Drago.

But fortunately, the outsiders are still the same as when they first came to this world:

"Without the cafe deal, I purchased the permanent ownership of the maid so that, I hope, Fiona Drago can be restored to normal. Yes, fully restored to normal, including depriving anyone but herself of any There is control over her.”

"Master, are you sure you want to release this maid?"

The big-tailed maid opened her arms and slowly turned around in front of Shade, as if to show herself to her.

"Yes, it is."

Although Shade was almost collapsed, he still had to hold the table with one hand to stabilize his body. He had no worldly desires at this time.

"No problem, follow your instructions."

The red dragon girl stood with her hands clasped together and hanging in front of her chest, closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly, as if some kind of machine had fallen into sleep.

The rain pattered outside, and the fire crackled in the fireplace inside. In the dark city, even Xia De felt sleepy for a long time. The severe consumption of the spirit makes the body extremely empty, the ubiquitous sense of crisis and the urgency of time also make the heart feel uneasy and panic that cannot be vented.

At a certain moment, his eyesight suddenly went dark, and Shade, who was not sitting firmly, fell from his chair. But he did not touch the cold ground, but was held in a warm embrace.

"You are. Oh, it's Mr. Hamilton! You appear again! Shade! Shade!"

The girl hugged him in a panic and helped him sit up again. Shade, who felt like stars were starting to appear in front of his eyes, took a while to recover. He felt the blood filling the blood vessels in his brain again. His vision returned to his darkened eyes, and he saw someone standing beside him, looking worriedly. His young witch looked particularly beautiful with her red-gold eyes.

Her eyes are somewhat similar to the vertical pupils of a beast, which is a symbol of dragon hybridity. And the young witch's delicate and fair face looked particularly friendly at this time.

"Long time no see, Miss Fiona Drago."

To Shade, there were three maids standing in front of him. It was a double image, and it took several seconds for it to become normal.

"Yes, long time no see, Mr. Hamilton. Sorry, you saved me every time."

The young girl looked like she was about to cry. This was of course not because she saw Sha De again after four years, but because of Sha De's current state:

"It's all my fault. Teacher Olanode and Teacher Feliana failed to complete the tasks they gave me, and they made you become like this."

"Sorry, do you have anything to eat?"

Shade finally understood that his current state was actually hypoglycemia and that he actually had food in his pocket, but his lack of spirit was no longer enough for him to cast a spell to restore it to a real item.

When the Red Dragon Witch heard this, she immediately searched for her maid dress, but of course she couldn't find anything. She didn't even want to look at the menu and hesitated:

"You eat my flesh."

She held her big tail and handed it to Shade pitifully:

"My self-healing power is very strong, and I'm a hybrid dragon, so you don't have to worry about dragon poison."

The dragon bloodline in this world is extremely powerful and can reproduce with almost any race, resulting in a large number of hybrid species that are a headache for biologists from the three major colleges. The strong bloodline is also reflected in the extremely corrosive nature of dragon blood. If you bathe in dragon blood after killing a dragon like in the story, you will most likely die from many blood diseases caused by dragon poison in a week.

"Do not make jokes."

Shade pushed the tail away and felt that it was not as hard as expected, but soft and warm:

"Outside food isn't allowed here, right?"

"What?"

The red dragon girl held her tail and didn't quite understand, but Shade already knew the answer:

"It's fine if it's not banned."

He asked Fiona to help him sit up straight, asked for a piece of paper to light, wrote clearly what he wanted for the meal, and then lit the flame to burn it.

[Fiona's Housekeeping Servant] is a very special thaumaturgy. The peculiarity is not only that it can be cast multiple times using one casting material, but also that it consumes almost no spirit. After all, in Shade's view, the essence of this thaumaturgy is actually a contract.

And as he ignited the note and used thaumaturgy, the slight feeling of spiritual peeling off once again made his head dark. Fiona held his arm to prevent him from falling over, but it was a pity that Shade had no intention of feeling his arm. Soft touch.

The young witch watched curiously as a thick white mist rose up from the table that originally contained only the menu. This time the speed was quite fast, only three minutes and twenty-one seconds. The white mist dispersed and was placed on a colorful porcelain plate. Desserts such as ham and cheese, matcha red bean cheese cake, strawberry jam golden crisp pancake, coconut meat tiramisu, pineapple egg tart, etc. were displayed on the table, with upside-down porcelain cups and spouts placed next to them. Steaming black tea.

There is a small note leaning on the white porcelain teapot:

[Actually, I am also good at making tea and snacks in the living room. 】

Behind it is still a hand-drawn stick figure smiling face.

"oh!"

The feeling of hunger was particularly strong at this time. If it weren't for the lack of spirit, Shade even thought that he could shout "not enough" again and hold a blood feast.

He reached out to grab the food in an uncivilized manner, while Fiona said at the side:

"Don't eat in such a hurry, otherwise you'll choke. I'll pour you tea before."

She hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured tea. After three small cakes were eaten and two triangular pieces of Shaqima were swallowed, Shade felt like she was alive again.

He took the tea cup and let the black tea dilute the sweet taste in his mouth. Then he took a deep breath and said to the girl who looked at him worriedly:

"I'm fine. I feel so happy when I'm full. Oh, long time no see, Miss Fiona Drago."

He said the greeting again, with a smile on his face this time. It was also a good thing for Shade to meet the founders of St. Byrons again in the past. Seeing that Shade's complexion returned to normal and his tone was no longer so weak, the young girl also breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up and smiled:

"Long time no see, Mr. Hamilton, just call me by my name. Since we parted ways in the Valley of the Dead four years ago, I often think back to our adventures in the Gaddis Library with the teacher and Miss Samuel. Oh. , I still remember that incident, I had forgotten it originally, but Miss Feliana helped me retrieve my memory, Miss Feliana has become more and more powerful over the years, she is definitely the most outstanding witch of this era."

She lifted up both sides of the skirt of her beautiful maid outfit and bowed slightly to Shade. This etiquette also appeared on the witches who appeared in response to Shade's words of sublimation during the Battle of Pantanal. .

"Okay, don't be so polite. Sit down quickly, I'm really happy to see you. But speaking of which, can you understand my language?"

The Red Dragon Witch also pulled up a chair and sat next to Shade at the coffee table, her tail hanging down from between her body and the back of the chair to the ground. Noticing Shade glance at her tail, the young girl blushed slightly:

"This is the characteristic of this city. I have been here for a long time. Sorry, I don't know the specific time. Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode sent me to do something, yes, That was something important and unexpected, and I'm honored to be trusted by them."

After speaking, she pursed her lips, thought about it suspiciously, and then said in frustration:

"I'm sorry, I forgot what it was. I just remember that I have to go through this maze-like city and find the throne behind the curtain of this city. Sitting on that throne is the rumored god of the night."

"Don't worry, just like last time, this time I'm here to help you accomplish what you want to accomplish."

Shade said, and then he felt as if he had appeared specifically to fulfill the wishes of the witches:

"I've been missing you since we were separated last time. How are Miss Feliana and Miss Olanold doing now? Do they have anything to say to me?"

The red dragon girl looked a little pitiful:

"The teacher and Miss Feliana are both very good. We often mentioned you during those long dark nights and during the leisure time of afternoon tea. As for what I was going to say to you, I didn't expect that you would appear again so soon. Also. Maybe they said something before I set off this time, but I don’t remember.”

"It's okay, then tell me about this city. I only have twenty-three minutes left this time."

"OK."

The red dragon girl nodded obediently and picked up the tea cup:

"This is the Eternal Night City that sleeps in the dark night. It is located in the extreme north. There are only a few ways to get here. When outdoors, you must not fall into a completely lightless environment, otherwise you will never be able to escape from the long night. Go out. Most of the buildings here will light up, but they will also turn off the lights at irregular intervals. This is the moment when you need to enter the building."

This is what happened to Sha De when he arrived just now.
