Whispering Verse

In short, the thaumaturgy [Praise to the Sun] was successfully learned in this way. As for the remaining scars on the body surface, Shade also used magic potion to eliminate them.

Iluna had to go back to the apartment to pack her luggage and tell Miss Carina that she was going on a long trip, so she said goodbye to Shade downstairs. Although she was leaving on Sunday, she knew that Shade was also very busy, so she didn’t want him to go out of his way to say goodbye to her, but Shade didn’t agree:

"After all, you are going on a long journey. Although there are colleagues from the church accompanying you, if I really don't see you off, Luvia will blame me if she finds out. We are leaving on Sunday afternoon, right? Do you have time at noon on Sunday? "

He extended an invitation:

"Same as today, let's go have lunch together again. I've made a reservation at the restaurant in advance. Oh, don't be polite to me. Let's have a good meal this time."

After paying back the materials fee for Priest August, he only had more than two thousand pounds in cash left on hand, but there was still no problem in treating Iluna to dinner:

"Then we agreed to meet on Sunday at noon."

"Oh well."

Iluna's face was red, standing on the steps outside the door, holding her small bag in both hands, holding down the hem of her skirt, her back to the crowded Saint Teresa Square, and she nodded and The head of the flower lady’s little red hat:

"See you on Sunday then, Shade."

"See you on Sunday."

After sending Iluna away, Shade called Mia a few times and saw Mia lazily lying in the sun on the second floor living room window unwilling to move, so he went to Old John's place alone.

With the elves' pure water and dusk dust, the special paint formula provided by Lesia can be made. Old John took a careful look at the formula and said that he could help make it, but it would take time:

"It takes half a week, and there are some troublesome steps involved."

"I can add money."

"Then it only takes two days. You can pick it up on Sunday evening."

The old man said, and listed in detail to Shade the reasons why more money could make the production faster, as if he was afraid that Shade would misunderstand.

Of course, in addition to arranging paint, Shade was also concerned about special coins. In fact, since he entered the Randall Valley for the first time in mid-January, except for the eye coins purchased locally from the Randall Valley and used to divine the "Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess", he has never done anything else. I haven't seen any other special coins.

"Yes, special coins were indeed found from other places, but there was only one."

Old John said, bending down and taking out a box from under the counter. After the box was opened, a thin-looking copper coin lay on the red velvet lining. The upward side of the coin shows a basket filled with vegetables, fruits and bread.

Shade frowned slightly and touched it with his hand:

"Poet level?"

"Detective, do you think certain types of relics are so easy to find?"

The old man said, and then introduced the specific use:

"The poet-level relic [Emperor's Banquet Copper Coins], the origin of this relic is quite clear. An unknown witch emperor around 3900 in the Fifth Era loved to hold banquets and have fun. She minted this batch of copper coins to reward those who The person who wins the banquet game. And if you collect a hundred coins, you can ask the Witch Emperor to help you realize a wish - this is the fifth era, when these copper coins were still ordinary items."

"This is rare. The emperor actually used copper coins instead of gold coins."

Shade muttered, while Old John thought that Shade was ignorant:

"That's why you don't understand. This is not ordinary copper. This is the 'Koinor Dwarf Copper' whose recipe has been lost. The price of this copper alloy is much higher than the price of gold. It is used to make the core of the golem. Important raw materials.”

Old John picked up the copper coin and handed it to Shade:

"After being turned into a relic, its function becomes very strange. Throw a copper coin and let it fall on an empty table to summon a sumptuous banquet. Yes, this is the only positive characteristic .As for the negative characteristics, there is a small chance that some strange things will appear at the banquet. As for the containment conditions, it is also very simple. Just don’t let it come into contact with alcohol for a long time.”

After all, they are only poet-level relics. Such relics may even be used by ordinary people who are unaware of them for a long time. Therefore, neither the positive nor negative characteristics are very strong.

Although the copper coin is very thin, its radius is extremely large, larger than any coin currently popular in mainstream currencies. On one side is a basket filled with various foods, and on the other side is the number "1" surrounded by ears of wheat.

At the bottom of the number, there is a sentence written in very fine engravings:

[The right to interpret the banquet belongs to Emperor Kerry Washington. 】

"There is a saying that if we can collect 100 of these relics, great things will happen. But it is a pity that although the Witch Emperor likes to hold banquets, many copper coins have been lost on the market. But if we want to In this day and age, if you collect 100 pieces, you might as well hope to find an angel-level relic."

Old John said, pulling out the note from under the box:

"This is not my product, it is sold for others. This is the price, and the other party is not allowed to bargain."

Shade took a look at the price:

"Twenty-seven pounds, four shillings and seven pence? Is the price so precise?"

"The owner of the cargo owes a debt to others, and now he only needs this little money to repay the debt."

The old man explained.

"But as a poet-level relic, especially a poet-level relic that is one-time and not very useful, the price is a bit too high, right?"

According to Shade's idea, the price of this coin is acceptable within 10 pounds.

Old John shrugged:

"The relic is indeed not very valuable, but the banquet summoned by the relic is valuable."

"What?"

"According to the previous usage records and the Peace Church's accommodation records, as long as a large enough table is prepared, it is very simple for the total value of the summoned banquet to exceed 50 pounds. From this point of view, this price is actually cheap."

"Can it still be considered like this?"

Shade was also amused, but since he encountered a special coin, he had to buy it even at an increased price. After all, to Shade and Luvia, the value of a coin is far beyond what its own characteristics can measure.

He agreed to attend the banquet hosted by Margaret tonight, and while he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Shade bid farewell to Old John and came to Coldwater Port again after a long absence.

Speaking of which, he rarely went to Coldwater Port this year, so when he saw Mr. Edmond at the old lighthouse, the latter complained to Shade that he felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"I feel like the temperature in Coldwater Port is higher than in Tobesk."

Shade said as he helped the old man carry the iron bucket filled with live fish into the lighthouse. Mr. Edmond, who followed behind with a fishing rod, nodded:

"The sea surface near Coldwater Port is not frozen all year round. This is due to both the warm ocean current and the weather in Coldwater Port. Except for the Randall Valley area in the southwest of the Old Continent and the bay area in the central and eastern part of the Old Continent, probably around Coldwater Port , is the earliest city to welcome spring in the year.”

"The Randall Valley hasn't been warm at all this year."

Shade complained and put the fish next to the wall. It was a pity that he did not bring Mia with him:

"And I heard that this year is the coldest year in the Old World in 500 years."

Mr. Edmund glanced at Shade, because Shade often inquired about the folk customs of various places here, so he knew that Shade had the ability to travel to distant places:

"Have you been in the Randall Valley recently? You really go wherever there is danger."

He asked Shade to sit down first while he went to pour tea. The interior of the lighthouse in winter is not cold at all, but extremely warm:

"There's going to be big trouble in the Randall Valley recently."

"Yes, the church and the three major colleges are sending people there. I have to be careful not to be seen by acquaintances."

Shade said, and then asked:

"Guiding Light Monastery, aren't you going to send someone this time? During the Pantanal incident, didn't Old John go to the island in the middle of the lake?"

"You really know everything."

Mr. Edmond sat down opposite Shade, opened his spectacle case and put on his spectacles:

"We have our people locally in the Randall Valley, and it's not an inaccessible deep swamp."

It made sense for him to say this, so Shade raised his own question:

"I came here this time to ask if the Guiding Light Monastery has any research and records on the Randall Valley area?"

"What kind of records do you want to know?"

"Local families. I have heard from locals that the family represented by the local Earl Granger can be related to almost one-third of the local surnames. This ancient family that can cover almost half of the city should Isn’t it an ordinary family?”

"This is the matter."

Mr. Edmond nodded:

"I saw the records of the Priory. Although it is not very clear, the origin of this surname should be some kind of extremely powerful alien bloodline in the fifth era. Don't look at the fact that the direct descendants are now completely ordinary people, but In collateral descendants, the power of alien blood may still appear. The thirteen-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, the earth shaker-Pierre Granger, is said to be the same as Granger of the Randall Valley. Same family."

"So, are there any records in the Hermitage about the guardians of Randall Valley?"

"I got news from the monastery. Those guardians seem to be related to the chosen ones."

The old man said very cautiously:

"In addition, there are also stories about the guardians in local legends. The Priory doesn't know much about them, or in other words, it doesn't know much more about them than the Orthodox Church. But everyone has to do everything they do. There is a reason, unless he is a madman. The guardians do not look like madmen, so there must be a reason why they volunteered to guard the Randall Valley."

It seems that no more information is available from Mr. Edmund for the time being. So Shade asked about the special coins again, probably because Shade hadn't been here for more than half a month, so Mr. Edmond actually had new special coins here.

There is also only one coin, but Shade has obtained this coin once before.
