Whispering Verse

The ruins in front of you are typical ancient ruins of little value. Such places can be found throughout the Old Continent, and can even be found in the extreme northern ice cap area. Although there is no value or danger, the church will still provide a certain level of protection. As for the ruins here that are almost integrated with nature, there is probably no need to protect them.

On the other hand, the ring wizards are happy to visit similar ruins. The remnants of traces of ancient elements usually mean the touch of miraculous and blasphemous runes. Exploring ancient ruins, deep in caves, under the shadow of mottled trees, in inaccessible places on cliffs and caves, touching the remains of history or even the remains of gods, is much more likely to obtain spiritual runes than simply reading books.

Non-academic ring wizards, as well as ring wizards who like to travel, like to explore such ruins.

[Golden Dawn Opera Troupe] When I came here, I also wanted to try to obtain spiritual runes, but unexpectedly I got a word of sublimation. At this time, remaining traces can be seen on the ground, only the bases of some stone walls and the foundations of large buildings. If it weren't for the fact that there was only snow falling in the winter, you might not even be able to see these in the summer when the plants are lush.

Shade tied his horse to a tree, then climbed over the crooked fence and walked over. This ruins covers a large area and is probably an extraordinary place of worship. Although he didn't know the original building specifications, according to the principle of "all important places are in the center", Shade stepped on the snow and arrived at the center of the ruins.

There are no trees here, and no other traces can be seen on the flat snow. Shade stood there and looked around, feeling as if his trip was in vain. Looking up at the midday sun in the sky, the sun is a bit dazzling even in winter. Then he lowered his head and looked at the shadow at his feet. Such a leisurely environment made him suddenly have the urge to lie down under the tree and rest.

"No, no, no, I don't want to sleep in the wild in the winter."

He knelt down, pushed aside the snow, and touched the ground with his palms. Even after such a long time, the subtle elements of the miracle can still be discerned. When you close your eyes, you can almost hear the prayers coming from around you, and you can see people prostrate themselves on the ground, worshiping the moon in the night sky.

These touches indeed brought some unique feelings. Unfortunately, Shade's [Silver Moon], [Yellow Moon], and [Red Moon] three-month spiritual runes were complete, so this feeling did not bring about substantial changes.

[Could it be that I came at the wrong time? 】

"She" suddenly asked in his ear.

"You mean, I want to come again at night?"

"She" just chuckled and didn't answer, but Shade felt that it made sense. If you want to explore the power of the moon, going there at noon may be problematic.

"But it's too far here."

He complained in his heart, led the horse and disappeared into the forest.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Wilde Opera House, but Miss Benenice went to Parliament so she happened to be away. However, Miss Lassers, who had been very busy recently, was in the opera house. When she saw Shade coming to the study, she asked him for help. :

"Shad, Vanessa said you know a lot of ancient runes. See what this means."

The news about Miss Benanis came from Miss Carina, and Miss Carina already knew about Shade's unique ability.

Shade looked at the photo handed over by the young girl. It showed a stone slab lying in the forest soil, as if it had just been dug out:

"Did you find this on the way to pursue Mr. Lassus? Let's see. It's Elvish script, but it's not modern Elvish script."

Shade was very familiar with this, and he knew the general content after just a quick glance:

"It should have nothing to do with what you are looking for. This is a stone tablet left by ancient elves, probably in the middle of the fifth era. They received an invitation and migrated from their local area to other areas, leaving this stone tablet to record their former hometown. According to History records that those elves received an invitation from St. Byrons Comprehensive College and migrated to the north.”

"Oh, I knew I had found the wrong one."

Miss Lassus shook her head in annoyance, and went to sit on the sofa with Shade from behind the desk:

"The path my father traveled back then was more complicated than I thought. I really don't know how he went through so many tests without telling everyone. Shade, did you gain anything? You went to see Oxenfurt again in the morning. ”

Because of the special nature of the devil, Shade did not tell Miss Benanis and Miss Lassers about the devil.

"I didn't see him, so I waited at his house all morning. It turned out that he and Prince William of Anjou were in the city, making me wait in vain."

Shade expressed his dissatisfaction. Although he and his wife spent the morning watching snow and painting oil paintings, and agreed on a little secret that only the two of them knew, he was still dissatisfied:

"I'll go look for him again in the afternoon. I must get the statue today. I've already seen the statue, but it's a pity that I couldn't get it."

If you can leave in the afternoon and take the key with you to visit the manor, then you can wait until the sun sets and visit the ruins on the way.

"I still have the same view. If it is not absolutely necessary, don't have any more contact with Oxenfurt."

Miss Lassers said very cautiously, but also knew that this was what must be done now.

Knowing that Shad had not eaten lunch, Miss Lassers arranged lunch for Shad. After lunch, Shade just rested for a while at the Wilde Opera House, and then set off to find Stone Oxenfurt.

It was originally thought that he and Margaret's brother William Anjou were meeting Sir Cursey of the local Mining Association at the "Captain Jack's Club" in the city. However, when they arrived at the club, they learned that the two had left together dozens of minutes ago.

No one in the club knew where the prince had gone, so Shade had no choice but to go find Margaret again to find out.

Margaret has a private meeting with Earl Granger this afternoon to discuss the current progress of the shipyard and the ribbon-cutting in a month's time to report to His Majesty the King in Willendale. This confidential meeting was held at the manor where Margaret was staying, during which only the confidential secretary had access to the meeting room.

Shade waited at the manor for more than an hour, and did not see Margaret until four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Her Royal Highness looked a little tired, and the maid behind her was holding a mountain of documents. Having a lot of strength was probably a necessary condition for becoming a maid.

"I know your matters are more important, but why are you the only one talking to Earl Granger? Where is your brother?"

Shade asked his doubts, and Margaret immediately complained:

"He has been very busy recently for the overseas silver mine, and all these tasks have been passed on to me. Anyway, meetings and other matters are all private work. When I write to my father, I can't just sign my name. . He will participate in those public events. In this way, it does not mean that he has not completed the tasks given by his father seriously. "

He put his arms around Shade and put his head on his shoulder. His tone sounded a bit like coquettishness:

"I originally thought that I was the one who had other things to do in the Randall Valley, so I couldn't take care of the shipyard. Unexpectedly, it turned out that I had to complete most of the work."

Although it is "most of the work", it is actually her subordinates who handle the most tedious matters. She only needs to check and review. After all, "princess" is also the kind of identity that can get the most glory without having to bear responsibility.

If it weren't for the wrong gender, this would simply be the best career Shade could think of.

"I want to ask you for help with something. I want to defeat Oxenfurt. In other words, I want Oxenfurt to go bankrupt and his reputation will be ruined."

"Stone Oxenfurt is the businessman my brother trusts most now. Why, do you have a problem with my brother?"

Margaret asked with a smile, but did not refuse:

"I can help."

"No, no, there is some danger in this matter. I want you to inform the Sussex Higher School of Medicine and ask the college to investigate the silver mine off the coast. Just say that you think there may be something fishy about this matter."

Although Margaret has left the academy to become a correspondence ring magician, she also has a close mentor of her own. The devil must have his own unique counterfeiting skills for the silver mine outside the sea. Even if Serkses Higher Medical School investigates, it is impossible to get the answer at once, so this requires a process:

"Danger? OK, I'll explain it in the letter."

Margaret nodded:

"If you want to bankrupt Oxenfurt, it's not enough to expose the scam. I'm in the Randall Valley myself, and arranging business obstruction is too obvious. I'll write a letter to your princess in Tobesk later. I wrote a letter and asked her to arrange personnel to first investigate Oxenfurt's property in Delrayon. Then I wrote to my father and asked my father to send Gray Gloves agents to investigate Oxenfurt's other properties in the country. Since he If you lie in the silver mines, there will be no other business without any problems."

Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled and said:

"Actually, it's impossible for someone who can do such a big business in this era to have no problems."

"Well, it's great to have your help."

"This is also to help myself. My brother, who is still standing in front of me when he has no ability, can just ask him to move his position at the right time."

After she finished speaking, regardless of Sha De's surprised gaze, she stepped up and kissed him. Xia Deze asked again:

"Do you know where Oxenfurt and Prince William are now? I have something to do with Oxenfurt. I have been busy working on it all day, but there is no result yet."

Margaret thought for a while:

"If I remember correctly, the daughter of a local baron got married and they went to the wedding."

"wedding?"

"Actually, I am meeting with a few businessmen who are not convenient to meet directly on weekdays. You also understand that as a prince of Kasenlik, if you often meet with ordinary businessmen without titles, others will criticize you."
