Whispering Verse

"Yes, of course I understand."

The young witch nodded slightly, knowing that there was a threat in Miss Carina's words:

"I have no ill will towards Mr. Hamilton, but I want to confirm his situation."

"The reason is currently unknown, but what is certain is that it cannot be replicated."

"That's good."

Miss Sylvia nodded, her brows still not widening, and she looked at Shade who was wiping his lips:

"But, how could this happen?"

Only when you become a great witch can you know what the witch system means. As a price, the curse that the witches bear should definitely not have loopholes like Shade:

"Miss Carina, are you really sure that this gentleman is a man?"

"Yes, he has even slept with my grand-niece. I have checked his hair and blood, and I am very sure that he is an ordinary human being and does not have the blood of a special species."

After hearing what Miss Carina said, Miss Sylvia stopped asking, but it was obvious that she was more concerned about the reasons for this phenomenon than whether Shade's existence would affect the Witch Council.

Miss Carina didn't speak anymore, Tifa stood quietly behind her, Shade held Mia, and suddenly thought of why he brought this cat with him, Mia narrowed her eyes and was held by Shade, Miss Sylvia hesitated and asked again:

"Mr. Hamilton, I remember you said during the day that you can use the power of time and space."

"Yes, my core spiritual rune is [Time and Space]."

The witch blinked:

"I have friends at St. Byrons Comprehensive College. I heard rumors this summer that the School of History admitted a correspondence student with a time and space spirit rune. Was it you?"

"yes, I"

"Now is not the time to discuss this."

Miss Carina interrupted and looked at Miss Sylvia:

"What do you think of Shade's existence?"

The latter immediately understood the meaning of this sentence and glanced at Shade hesitantly again:

"I will not disclose his presence to others in the council, but I hope that Mr. Hamilton will cooperate with me in conducting some research on space. Today in Huntington, I perceived the space he used through a wall. Thaumatology is different from what I know."

After speaking, he added:

"Duke, you should also hope that Mr. Hamilton can go further on the road of being a ring warlock, right?"

"So, that's all you ask for?"

Miss Carina actually seemed a little disappointed.

"Duke, what do you want from me?"

Miss Carina thought again:

"That's right. This is normal when I've vouched for him, clearly demonstrated intimacy, and he's valuable to you."

"Furthermore, I am the last seat in the parliament. This kind of thing that may shake the foundation of the parliament is not something I should get involved in."

Miss Sylvia said cautiously, and Miss Carina nodded in disinterest:

"Things are simpler than I thought. However, since you promised to keep Shade's secret, I think we can get closer. Are you interested in accepting my investment?"

She suggested that Shade clearly saw Miss Sylvia's expression of interest, but she still did not agree immediately, but pursed her lips and said softly:

"I'll think about it, Duke."

"No problem. You can talk to me about this matter when you get to Tobesk. However, Shade has something to ask you."

She looked at Shade, who mentioned this matter while having dinner at the manor.

"Madam, what is your relationship with Margaret Anjou?"

Miss Sylvia tapped her fingers on the table and recalled:

"After she returned to the United Kingdom from Serkses three years ago, I became the princess's tutor, responsible for lessons in mathematics, dance, etiquette, etc. In addition, I deliberately let her discover my identity as a ring wizard. , and gave her the power of a witch. Margaret Anjou knew that I belonged to the Witches' Council, but she was not very adaptable to the power of a witch, and she did not have the talent for space, so I had no intention of training her as an apprentice. .”

Being given the power of a witch by the great witch means being controlled by the great witch, so there is no need to worry about the princess betraying her.

"This is the first time I've heard you mention this. I didn't expect you to be so close to the Anjou royal family. But three years ago? That's when your teacher passed away due to an accident in the New World and gave her the power of a witch. , are you planning to use her to influence the Anjou royal family?"

Miss Carina asked curiously, Miss Sylvia hesitated:

"It's not an influence, it's just an investment. The bloodline of the Anjou family is not as prosperous as the Cavendish family. Margaret's inheritance is fifth, and I happened to become her tutor. She is very capable. , even if she cannot become the queen in the future, she will definitely affect the political arena of the United Kingdom, and there is a high probability that she will become a powerful duke like you."

Shade listened with some surprise, sighing in his heart that the great witches in the Witch Council were indeed women with both strength and ambition.

"This is indeed a good investment, but the Zhengshen Church protects the safety of the human royal family, so be careful not to be targeted by the church."

Miss Carina reminded again, Miss Sylvia thanked her softly, and Shade asked again:

"In other words, your relationship with her is not particularly close?"

Miss Sylvia nodded:

"At least not as close as the great witch and apprentice."

She glanced at Tifa and added:

"But I am her teacher after all, and I have given her great help in her studies as a ring warlock. She will not refuse my general request."

Shade nodded:

"Were you able to obtain a book from her? At least a partial copy of it. It was The Secret of Agelessness that Princess Margaret borrowed from Serkses."

"Is there anything special about that book?"

Miss Carina asked, Shade didn't mention this just now.

"Yes, that book was once in the collection of the Witch Emperor. There is a high probability that there are fragments of poems hidden in the content on pages five to eight."

This is a task given by Mr. Edmond. Shade wants to use these contents to exchange for one-third of the mysterious slate of time. But now it seems that if the witches help with this task, everyone will get what they want.

"What? A fragment of a psalm?"

Miss Sylvia looked at Miss Carina inquiringly. The latter already knew that Shade was also pursuing the chosen one, so she was not particularly surprised:

"Shad is always so well-informed. If so, Sylvia, you must get that book. Don't copy it, bring the book to the Parliament. Your Excellency the Speaker will be very satisfied."

Miss Sylvia also understood the importance of that book to Parliament:

"If it's a fragment of a psalm, yes, I will bring it. It's worth the risk. But I can't do it until at least I get to Tobesk. I don't want to cause any complications before the delegation sets off."

"It doesn't matter, just do it as soon as possible. Although this information was provided by Sha De, all the credit goes to you, so I won't get involved."

The red-haired witch said again, using Shade's information to sell a favor and at the same time strengthen the relationship between them more firmly.

"Duke, thank you for your kindness."

Miss Sylvia said softly, and then asked Xiang Shade:

"Mr. Hamilton, do you have time to meet tomorrow morning? I have some questions about the space magic you use."

"OK."

Miss Sylvia informed Shade of the time and place of tomorrow's meeting, and then left the parliament. Shade and Miss Carina did not stay long. After returning to the study room of the manor in the southern suburbs of Tobesk, Shade was still thinking about his relationship with the new great witch. Miss Carina said with a smile:

“Sylvia, it’s definitely more than investing in Margaret Anjou.”

"Does she really want to help that princess fight for the throne? Let's not talk about Serksese's reaction. Can she really avoid being discovered by the church?"

"What if we just help in ordinary ways?"

Miss Carina snorted and asked Tifa to prepare some snacks:

"Young Sylvia is smarter and more capable than most people I know. Relying on the influence of the great witches in Parliament, coupled with her long-term spiritual influence on Margaret Anjou Don’t get me wrong with control, I mean hint. In short, with the current situation in Kasenric, it is indeed possible for her to succeed. At least, the probability is much higher than Lesia becoming the queen of Delarion. "

Because the Cavendish royal family in the Kingdom of Delarion has too many heirs, and most of them are very capable.

Shade held the sweet sleeping Mia in his arms and hesitated for a long time. He waited for Tifa and the maids to come over with plates before asking:

"Parliament, isn't it really a conspiracy to control the world?"

After asking, he also laughed:

"I just feel that the Witches' Council of the Sixth Age seems to have inherited the Council of the Fifth Age and wants to recreate the glory of the past."

"Have you ever met the members of the Council of the Fifth Age?"

Miss Carina asked curiously, and Shade recalled:

"No, the Miss Feliana I know is only an alternate council member."

"The great witches of the Fifth Age should know more about the Parliament. When you travel in the past and occasionally meet them, you can ask some similar questions."

"Speaking of which, you have always wanted me to meet Miss Feliana again. What questions do you want to ask?"

Shade talked about this matter again:

"The key I am going to open in a few days is in Fifth Era 5177, which is the end of the Fifth Era."

"I want to ask about the 'demigod'."

"Demi god?"

Shade was puzzled, and even Tifa, who came over with a saucer, blinked in confusion.

The duchess shook her head, leaning on the soft armrest of the sofa with her left hand, and looked lazily at the starry sky outside the window:

"Shade, you once told me that the witch in the God's Wine Party would not hesitate to seek help from the evil god for power."

"Yes."

"I am also pursuing power, not only to advance from the current eleventh ring to the twelve or even thirteenth ring, but I am longing for higher power. In the legend, the real limit of mortal things. And in the distant third In the fifth era, Mana Feliana was one of the few people who had truly come into contact with that power."

The Duchess's delicate face turned upward slightly, and she raised her right hand and pointed it at the window, as if she wanted to catch the moon in the distant starry sky. The red lips moved slightly, and in a low tone like the end of an opera, she sang out her thoughts at the moment:

"That is the real power."

As expected, the great witches in the Witch Council all have ambitions, and the witches' singing voices are really nice.
