Whispering Verse

[Outlander, you have returned to the present time. 】

Shade stumbled out of the white fog door, holding on to the wall and gasping for air. He had never been so happy to be illuminated by gas lights. He even wanted to write a poem to praise the gas lights, but then he remembered that he did not have this kind of thing. Skill.

After leaving Eternal Night City, all the damage caused by the terrible night disappeared. Even because he almost melted in the night just now, Shade felt inexplicably familiar with the normal night. But the lack of spirit has still not been solved, but fortunately it is already the sixth era here.

If girls see themselves drinking essence from a small pink bottle, they may be considered to be secretly drinking medicine, thus questioning their health. Therefore, Shade made sure that no one was here before taking a big sip from the full perfume bottle:

"Oh, finally alive again!"

He's happy with it.

Sure enough, at the same time that Shade put away the perfume bottle, Lecia and Dorothy came back with a team of maids chatting and laughing. They didn't notice anything unusual about Shade, and Dorothy smiled and said:

"Shadow, we heard about your 'Detective Story'. I really should have gone with you just now. It was so exciting that it definitely deserves to be written into a two-part story."

"Well done, knight."

Lecia also said very reservedly, and when the two girls approached, Dorothy wanted to ask why she didn't see where Mia had gone, but then she noticed that Shade's coat was missing. She suddenly twitched her nose suspiciously, and found a strange scent of perfume from Shade that she had never smelled before.

That wasn't Miss Carina, it wasn't Tifa, it wasn't Agelina, it wasn't even Queen Diana or any other woman Shad knew well.

Lecia also looked at Shade suspiciously, feeling that Shade was more attractive than usual:

"Now that the damn murderer has been caught, our reading salon continues, don't waste time. Oh, speaking of which, Dorothy, shouldn't we take turns using your voice to read aloud one by one? ?”

"Your Highness Lesiya, can we discuss it after we enter the room?"

Dorothy said with a blush on her face, and each of the two ladies grabbed one of Shade's arms, and with the smiles of the maids, they forcefully pulled him into the room.

The night was as deep and long as the fifth era, but it seemed particularly charming.

(Little Mia is running.)

"I thought I wouldn't see you all day today."

On Monday afternoon, the Randall River Valley experienced a rare winter sunny day. Luvia was sitting on the first floor of the Fertile Land Hotel, holding a book in her hand and a teacup in front of her. Today is her day off again. After all, she came to this region on a business trip, and the association did not arrange many tasks for her.

"Why do you miss me so much? Am I that kind of person?"

Shade, who was opposite the purple-eyed girl, asked. Luvia shook her head:

"Even if you have taken a shower, I can still smell the two very familiar perfumes on your body. I have learned thaumaturgy related to the sense of smell. That happened in the first ring. I met a bird from the void. The big dog that jumped out of the middle.”

She said with a smile and put down the book:

"And I didn't miss you that way. I didn't expect that the princess and our writer friend would let you go. I thought you would."

She blushed a little because she suddenly thought of that fiery night on the New Year's Day:

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if I let you fix it, but you can't just run around all the time."

"The repairs are over, so we have to get down to business today. Oh, this is for you."

Shade said, taking out a sapphire pendant from his pocket and handing it to Luvia.

"You forgot to put the jewelry in the box again before giving it to the girl."

The girl with purple eyes murmured, took the pendant and looked at the sunlight pouring in from the hotel door:

"A very beautiful sapphire. Look, it's a lark-shaped pendant. Why did you suddenly think of giving me jewelry? This week's gift?"

"Yes, the task is to wipe the jewelry for female relatives or friends at least twice. I think it should be for children to wipe jewelry for their mothers, but it's a pity for me."

He shrugged. Luvia knew Shade's past, so she didn't say anything much and just put away the gem pendant.

"So, what kind of story did you encounter in the past this time? Do you need my help?"

The purple-eyed girl tilted her head and asked with a smile. Shade hoped that her appearance at this moment could be engraved in his heart forever:

"I met Miss Fiona Drago."

"Oh, I remember this, you also met this in the library. So the great person related to this is"

"The god of the night."

If you only introduce the functions and powers without naming the well-known names, the influence of the old gods will not be too great.

Luvia nodded while holding the teacup:

"The night and the moon are the prerogatives of the ancient moon god. Perhaps this god will be of great help to you. And speaking of it, Saint Byrons has some connection with this ancient god."

"What connection?"

Shade asked curiously.

"That's not the content of the college's general education St. Byron's History. It's the content of the fifth-grade course "Raw Power: The Blackest Night." It is rumored that the original principal, Miss Myrna Filianna, was building St. Byron. When I was here, I used the power of the God of Night."

She cleared her throat with a cough and began to recite the original text:

"On that vast snowfield, the monarch who controlled the night gave his territory to the lady who aspired to become a sage. In that territory, St. Byrons took root and sprouted, and the responsibility of teaching and educating people was passed down and developed. .”

"So, the incident I encountered this time will directly lead to what St. Byrons looks like now?"

"Who knows, you'd better ask your teacher, Miss Danister, the Red Moon Witch."

"This morning. Well, after I got home at noon, I sent a message to Miss Denister. But she has been busy recently and will not be able to see me until the morning after tomorrow, that is, Wednesday."

As he spoke, Shade yawned slightly, and Luvia pouted:

"You should also pay attention to your body. What did you do last night?"

Although she restrained herself from asking, she still asked. She pretended not to care on the surface, but she was actually a little envious of the princess's boldness.

As for the Keeper-level relic "Sands of Time", before Shade came to see Luvia, he had entrusted Old John and Granny Cassandra to acquire it on their behalf. She was the best at things, and Granny Cassandra had a lot of connections. Even if both parties buy it, it is not a waste. This kind of special time relic is also very useful to Shade.

As for how to achieve "eroded by the night", this still needs Shade's own investigation. At least Old John and Mother-in-law Cassandra couldn't tell for a while.

Shade and Luvia soon went to the Wilde Opera House and met the Witch and Miss Lassers. A week has passed since the four of them started investigating the clues left by Miss Lassers' father. During this period, not only did Shade and Luvia gain something on their own, but the Witch and Miss Lassus also gained something by retracing Mr. Lassus' path of exploration.

After the four people met, they first chatted about the Zhengshen Church's encirclement and suppression of the [Stone Heart Demon] cult last weekend. Except for Shade, the other three ladies were all local, so they knew much more than Shade knew from Miss Carina.

Then Miss Benanis gave Shad a file bag, which contained three auction items sold by Cassandra Auction House before Mr. Lassus disappeared that may be related to the "Heart of the Earth". whereabouts:

"The statue is now in the hands of Stone Oxenfurt? What a coincidence. I happened to want to go to him and return a medal. And then the key to the antique machine lock is in the hands of Lord Granger? They are all acquaintances. I'll just go and visit you. Finally, there's the ceramic vase. This item is in the Randall Valley City Statuary Hall?"

Randall Valley is famous for its stone sculptures, so there is a special stone sculpture exhibition hall in the city, which is the "Randall Valley City Statue Hall". This is a semi-official exhibition hall. Tickets are collected to maintain the daily expenses of the exhibition hall. The city hall will also allocate funds every year depending on the situation. Generally speaking, it is similar to Sister Devlin's "Snake Heart Hospital", except that the latter is more independent.

"No problem, today is Monday. I will try to investigate the three items within this week, or at least get them."

Shade promised that as for how he would get it, the ladies did not ask. They believed in Shade's ability.

The four of them chatted all afternoon, and towards evening, Miss Bernanice planned to stay with Shade and Luvia to have dinner together, and she had already made a reservation in the restaurant. Shade did not refuse, but he had to leave Luvia for about half an hour before dinner.

The two of them were going to the Fertile Land Hotel to wait for the elf girl Emilia - they agreed to meet once a week, and Shade was looking forward to what surprises the elf girl could bring him this time.

When the rays of the setting sun shine over the city, it means that a tiring day for at least most of the middle class has officially come to an end. When the last ray of sunset disappeared below the horizon, and the elegant gas lamps at the entrances of the Fertile Land Hotel, the Prophets Association and the City Hall on the same street were lit, Shade and Shade were chatting on the first floor of the Fertile Land Hotel. Luvia finally meets the long-awaited Miss Emilia Siamold.

She walked into the hotel lobby alone, looking quite familiar with the place. Because we were entering the city, we didn't take the little beast with us this time. The overall appearance of the elf girl has not changed, but the original pointed ears have changed into a human appearance, so Shade and Luvia saw her at a glance.
