Whispering Verse

Miss Sylvia obviously wants to send out an invitation for a private date.

Shade thought about what he was doing. At the moment, he just wanted to wait for Iluna to arrive, and then discuss the plan with Iluna and Luvia. If you have enough coins, it is also good to divine sapphire earrings and hexagonal stones:

"It should be fine."

"So, how about walking around the city with me? I haven't been to this city for a long time."

The young witch bit her lips and said, looking at Shade, there was something in her eyes that Shade couldn't refuse.

So Shade spent the whole Thursday morning shopping in the city with Miss Sylvia. They returned to Miss Bernice's manor before lunch, and as the inventor of man-made fibers, Miss Sylvia took Shade to her room. After changing into black fabric, she asked Shade to help carry the clothes. some opinions.

As a result, when the two of them were talking about the key point, Miss Sylvia was holding Shade's hand to evaluate sexual intercourse. Miss Benanis, who had no habit of knocking on the door at home, opened the door and walked in, asking them to eat. .

Shade later learned that Miss Sylvia had not spoken to Miss Benanis all day.

In the afternoon, he and Miss Aurora went to the club in the city to discuss business. It was only then that Shade learned that the construction project of the Second Southern Shipyard of the United Kingdom Navy was actually related to the Aurora family.

It would even be better to say that the large shipyards of the Old Continent have more or less the presence of the Aurora family.

In the evening, the witches and Shade watched the opera in a private box on the top floor of the Wilde Opera House. When the opera ended, Shade accepted the invitation and went to Miss Benanis's manor. Together with the ladies in pajamas, they held a night tea party in Miss Benanis's bedroom on the third floor of the manor.

This is indeed very interesting, but doing these things at a time when the number of petrified plague victims in the city is increasing every day, the fallen elemental djinn patrolling the wilderness outside the city, and the black mud flowing from the earth's distortion source is flowing on this land, Shade still feels a little bit Something is wrong.

That night, when he sent Luvia back to the Fertile Land Hotel, he expressed his opinion.

The purple-eyed girl said goodbye to Shade outside the hotel and hugged him gently:

"That's why we said that you are always tense. Wouldn't it be nice to relax once in a while like today?"

"But I relaxed yesterday."

Shade corrected, Luvia pouted slightly, then stretched out her hand to straighten Shade's collar. Although the temperature at night is rising every day, in Luvia's view, Shade is still recovering from a serious illness and must pay special attention to his health:

"The story of Randall Valley is coming to an end. It is normal to relax before the final battle. Your high fever scares me. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you really don't have much rest time. Wait until This matter is over, I return to Tobesk, in the spring of 1854, we don't have to do anything, and don't care about the next chosen one, I will stay with you."

Standing on tiptoes, he kissed Shade on the side of his face:

"Go home quickly. Dorothy may be waiting for you at home. I won't be feeling well for the next few days, so you don't have to stay with me in Randall Valley."

She said softly, and Shade looked into those purple eyes, feeling guilty again.

(Little Mia is running.)

"Long time no see, Shade!"

On Friday, the 28th day of the Moon of Thin Stars, early in the morning of the last day of February, when Shade came to the Fertile Land Hotel again, he immediately saw Iluna sitting by the wall reading a newspaper. After all, as long as Iluna appears in the field of vision, in Shade's eyes, it seems that all the light is converging on her.

Iluna was now wearing a very southern-style plaid dress with silver inlaid at the waist. She also wore a leaf-shaped hairpin decoration on her head that she didn't know where she got it from.

Because Shade had breakfast at home, it was already past eight in the morning. When Shade sat down opposite the seventeen-year-old girl, Iluna happily greeted Shade:

"Luvia just left and went to the Prophet Association. She said that there was something going on at the Noon Association and she would not come back."

"Good morning, Iluna. Let's meet Luvia again in the evening. Did your trip go well? I heard that you encountered something along the way?"

Shade also greeted with a smile, and noticed that the "Randall Morning News" held by Iluna contained news that people would soon notice the first Randall flower that bloomed next week.

The first Randall flower discovered to be in bloom each year will be brought to City Hall and kept in a display case in the lobby as evidence of the arrival of spring. Those who send flowers can receive a considerable bonus. Local citizens are very enthusiastic about this urban tradition.

"Oh, we encountered some minor problems along the way, but we solved them. That town is so mean and dares to mess with us."

Iluna replied lightly.

"Can you leave the church today? I thought the local parish would arrange a task for you immediately."

Shade said again.

"It was my own request to walk around the city and check out the situation."

She put the newspaper aside casually:

"It's useless for me to stay in the church now. I don't want to attend those annoying but necessary meetings. Then I can just read the minutes of the meetings. So, while the church is holding a meeting today, I will go out and walk by myself. Walk."

As he spoke, he sighed:

"On the way here, in addition to the haunted town, we also encountered the Crazy Land. Yes, on the way here, even a boatload of us couldn't completely solve the problem. Even if I am the chosen one of balance, I can only ensure that I will not be affected when I step into that area, but I cannot reverse this distortion. Compared with the earth, my power is still not enough."

"I heard that since this week, five different cities have reported news about the Crazy Land."

Shade also added, and Iluna nodded:

"Actually, there are seven cities, and two of them are in the countryside. They are too remote. If this continues, sooner or later the entire Old Continent will be infected with the curse of the earth. But fortunately, there is a solution, and now we are waiting for the final ceremony to be carried out. From this point of view, my mission this time is simpler than the previous two. When I was at Fort Midhill, it was like participating in a large-scale battle; when I was in the Pantanal incident, I was in that dirty swamp. Marching in a hurry. Now we just have to stay in the city and wait for news, which is really good."

"So, how do you feel about Randall's Valley? Compared to Tobesk."

Shade asked with great interest, and Iluna thought for a while:

"It is said that the weather here is always very good, but when I came here this time, I learned that the weather in the Randall Valley is as bad as Tobesk! And the thick fog here also smells of rotten eggs and stinky cabbage leaves."

She was very dissatisfied with this.

"This is the impact of Crazy Land. When I first came here, there was no heavy fog here."

"I really hope to see the river valley in spring. The scenery here is very famous."

Iluna said again, secretly taking a look at Shade's expression:

“The church knew I wanted to hang out, so they showed me their list of tasks that they had yet to take care of.”

As he said that, he pointed to the small bag placed against the wall:

"If I have time, I can take care of it. I can get to know the customs and customs of the Randall Valley, and at the same time I can earn a reward for myself. I think it's nothing to do anyway, and I'm just walking around the city. Why not take a look at the city's problems? ,so."

She continued to look at Shade quietly.

"Then let's go together."

Shade said:

"But I plan to go to Huntington tonight and visit the lady in the lake. So, I can only stay in Randall Valley until about evening."

Although the "Lake of the Cherubim" where the Lady of the Lake is located is generally only open when the sun has not yet set, Shade believes that he should be an exception.

"no problem."

Iluna controlled her joy:

"Then let's discuss where to go as the first stop. Although there are many Ring Warlocks from other places to support the local area, there is still a lack of Ring Warlock teams that combine mid-level and low-level rings. Therefore, most of the tasks in my hand require The team will deal with it. It’s difficult, but it’s not something that can only be solved by a high-level warlock. Why don’t I make the choice?”

She took out the rolled parchment from her small bag, glanced at the tasks that required going to a town far outside the city, gave up on the boring haunted rumors, and finally selected one:

"This seems to be something that needs to be investigated. Let's go take a look. There are reports in the city that flower girls have disappeared recently."

"Oh? What's the specific situation?"

Shade also became interested.

"You know, most of the children selling flowers on the street are girls from poor families. It is difficult for such children to disappear and attract official attention immediately. This time it is a local baron. Let me look at the last name. Yes, it is The daughter of Baron Burnset wanted to try the job of a flower girl, so she went to the street to sell flowers accompanied by her maid, and then disappeared together with the young maid. The disappearance of the noble lady, It was only then that the local police department launched a thorough investigation and learned about a series of recent similar incidents."

Iluna said, and Shade frowned slightly:

"It won't be another child trafficking case like what happened in Tobesk City last summer, right?"

Because of that incident, Shade was shot in the street, so his memory was still fresh.

"no no."

Iluna shook her head:

"Missing children usually come back in about a week. Apart from slight symptoms of malnutrition and blood loss, there are no other injuries to their bodies. Even their clothes are still the same as before they disappeared. However, they will all lose their memories of this week. , because the flower girls are not very old and are not suitable for strong memory recovery to avoid brain damage, so there is not much progress in the investigation yet."
