Whispering Verse

I wanted to take advantage of the time in the evening to ask Dorothy about the exam questions, but the two of them had just spread out the books in front of the fireplace, and the hot badge on Shade's chest reminded him that the witch had arrived downstairs.

The ringing of the bell downstairs was slower than the heat of the badge, so Shade had time to look out of the living room window. The familiar carriage coming from the snowy city means that it is Miss Carina who is visiting this time, not Miss Sylvia.

"What happened to the devil?"

The big witch was acting resolutely, and she asked immediately as soon as Shade opened the door downstairs. Behind the Duchess was the deep winter night. Tifa in the night had just stepped out of the carriage and gave Shade a concerned look.

"Oh, Miss Carina, how did you know about this?"

Shade asked curiously, then turned sideways to let the witch and her party in.

The Duchess was in a menacing tone. After entering the door, she took off her fox fur shawl to keep out the cold and handed it to Tifa:

"I just came back from Sylvia. She told me about Margaret Anjou's encounter with the devil. The princess didn't mention who she encountered this incident with, but we knew it as soon as we guessed it. The matter must be related to you. A young girl like Margaret Anjou doesn't know how terrifying the evil spirits of the Third Age are, how can we not know? What is going on? "

The concern in his tone was palpable.

"Let's talk upstairs, but don't worry, the other party is not a very scary demon. I have found a way to deal with it."

Miss Carina probably came here in a hurry, and there were only two maids accompanying her except Tifa. They went to the kitchen and prepared tea with Dorothy. Although Lesia hated her aunt a little, Dorothy's attitude towards the duchess was barely neutral and she had no special thoughts.

"Shade, do you understand what you are encountering?"

After she sat down on the sofa, her tone was still so stern, which made Mia, who was lying in front of the fireplace, squirm and look here, as if she was worried that Shade would be bullied.

"I've seen Darkness and Human Pussy, how could I not know what the devil represents?"

Shade said, taking off the badge that was still burning on his chest and handing it to her:

"After the human pus incident, I made a very powerful friend who can help me expel demons. Look at this, I bought this from him for self-defense."

The "Witch Detection Badge" was originally made by Miss Carina for Shade, so she easily noticed the white bone border on the side of the badge. When Father Augustus used angel bones to make the bone medallion, he considered the issue of concealment, so generally no one could tell what the function of that layer of bones was.

Even after the witch checked it, she couldn't find out what it was. It wasn't until she took out a small bottle of black sludge-like substance and dripped it on the badge that the black flames ignited made her frown relax:

"What kind of magical item is this made of? It seems that you have really met an incredible alchemist master."

"Miss Carina, please don't worry about the devil. I will take care of it in a week at most. You don't have to worry about me."

Shade said again, then hesitated and grabbed the duchess's hand.

The expression on the red-haired witch's face immediately relaxed, and she turned to look out the window with a very rare blush. Tifa, who was standing behind the sofa, winked at Shade with her left eye, which was a sign of encouragement.

"If you think you can handle it, I won't say much, but you must be careful when dealing with things related to demons. The evil spirits of the Third Age are immortal and can even hide directly in people's hearts."

"I keep a lot of holy water at home. When the problem is resolved, I will take a bath with it."

Shade said again, and then changed the topic:

"Besides the demon thing, I also know another thing. Yesterday I met the people from the Apuna Library at the Three Cats Hotel. I overheard their relationship with the Truth Society and the Pantanal Voodoo Society. The conversation and the fragments of poems they sold were actually all incomplete. The location required for the ceremony of the chosen ones was not the water surface, but an 'island in the water'."

"The church's patience with [Apna Library] is probably running out."

Miss Carina sighed, Shade did not say "Sir Prisha is the chosen one", after all, Luvia has not yet decided how to deal with the fourth chosen person.

"But the Pantanal Voodoo Club..."

She thought about it:

"Sister Devlin is investigating the Everglades area recently, and the council has collected a lot of information to help her. I can't think of the reason why the Voodoo Society is involved in the affairs of the chosen ones. I hope they are just hired thugs. "

The maids brought tea, and Dorothy went directly into the study without any intention of talking to Miss Carina. The duchess talked to Shade for a while. After finishing the first cup of tea, she glanced at the clock in the corner of the living room:

"I have other things to do tonight, so go out with me now and I'll be back in about two hours."

"No problem, but what are we going to do? Do I need to prepare additional weapons and spellcasting materials?"

Miss Carina thought for a moment:

"There shouldn't be any danger. Sylvia is also going with us. The council has found information about the suspected 'Secret Keeper' and we are going to try our luck. You can carry weapons, but in my opinion, that is not necessary."

"The new secret keeper? Let's go now."

Considering that the devil was still spying on him and Dorothy, Shade did not carry the [Night Watcher], but left the sword with the girl and cat at home.

He prepared other relics and boarded the duchess's carriage in the night. The carriage drove a group of people to the east of the city.

In the planning of the capital city Tobesk, the east and south of the city are wealthy areas, but most of the nobles live in the south, while decent middle class people like Dr. Schneider are concentrated in the east.

In winter, the sun sets very early, and the temperature has already dropped below freezing, which makes people avoid staying on the streets at night as much as possible. The nominal center of the eastern part of the city is the local Natural Church. The carriage carrying everyone did not pass there, but Shade could see a few streets away in the night, the magnificent side tower of the Natural Church, and the image of the natural church in the faint moonlight. It's on top of the shining church tower.

Two streets west of the Nature Church lies Tobesk's very famous Regent's Park. This park was established in memory of the Regent John about 200 years ago. It is the largest park in Tobesk city. The establishment and maintenance of this park are also related to the natural church.

And tonight’s goal is this park.

The carriage passed quietly across the bridge across the Nington River. When it stopped at the bridge, Miss Sylvia, wearing a black dress, was waiting for them in the shadows that were not illuminated by the street lights.

Not far from the Witch is the Ninton River. This river is incomparable to the Terrariel River to the west of Yodel Palace. It is just a decorative river with a small flow in the city.

Due to the heavy snowfall in the past few days, the river was frozen and snowflakes covered the ice. On the riverside at night, the witch, who looked like a beautiful woman in a landscape painting, was staring at the river. After the carriage stopped, she turned around and walked to the elegant gas lamp at the end of the bridge.

"Xia De will handle the devil's matters by himself."

The Duchess said simply, and then ordered Tifa:

"You are waiting for us in the carriage with Julia and Anne."

"Okay, miss."

Tifa, who was about to get off the carriage, shrank back again. After handing a heavy cloth bag to Shade, the silent coachman drove them away.

"What were you looking at just now?"

Miss Carina asked Miss Sylvia, and also looked at the river under the sparse starlight:

"The river here actually doesn't stink. It seems that the Church of Nature has done something."

"I'm counting the snowfall in Tobesk."

Miss Sylvia said simply and smiled at Shade:

"If my digital divination is correct, the snowfall in Tobesk this winter will far exceed the level of previous years... Shade, do you really not need our help with the devil's matter?"

"No need, I can handle it myself."

"I really like the snowy weather. Stop chatting here and go this way."

The duchess said in a low voice. She led the way, walked off the bridge, turned to the left, and arrived at the gate of Regent's Park.

Regent's Park was originally a private garden of the royal family. It was opened to the public since Lesia's great-grandfather, and later hosted the Delrayon-Kasenlik Industrial Exhibition. Every summer, a grand seatless concert is held here. The Regent Lake in the center of the park is a good place for a walk after dinner.

Roentgen Avenue, where Dr. Schneider's clinic is located, is a 10-minute walk away. The doctor often walks here when he has nothing to do.

Of course, there is no one in Regent's Park on a winter night. Because some people illegally stored steam engine parts in the park a few years ago, which triggered a joint protest from nearby residents, the land and opening hours of Regent's Park were strictly restricted by the city hall.

The park is not allowed to enter at this time, but for Shade and the two witches, this is not a problem at all.

Walking along the gravel path inward, stepping on the snow on the ground through the sparse coniferous forest, after walking down the downward slope, not far away is the Regent Lake in the darkness.

The area of ​​this small lake is only a quarter of the size of Saint Teresa Square. It is an artificial lake dug manually and connected to the Nington River.

"right here."

Miss Carina said softly, and the two witches walked beside Shade, one on the left and the other on the right. Shade was holding the canvas bag and looking at the lake by the moonlight.

"I don't feel the traces of the elements."

Shade whispered softly, his nose smelling two perfumes at the same time. Although these are both unique perfumes called "witch's scent", the taste is actually different.

Probably noticing Shade's subtle movements of twitching his nose, Miss Sylvia's face turned slightly red, but she raised a smile and said nothing.

"Yes, I looked through the files of Ridwich Field before this. In recent months, the strange rumors that have come out here are only the young men and women who came in for a tryst at night and heard someone singing in the lake. "

Miss Carina said, looking at Miss Sylvia, the witch with short black shawl hair took a moment and nodded:

"We need a special way to summon the secret keeper, but before that we need to do something else."
