Whispering Verse

"Shade, how are you feeling now?"

Tifa suddenly asked.

"After lunch, I feel fine, but I still need to rest for a while. Forcibly using the language of sublimation is still too forced after all."

"Since you have had lunch, please drink today's potion. This is the last bottle. Please come with me to get it. I hope you like the taste of the potion."

The maid said, and after the carriage turned and disappeared outside the manor gate, the two returned to the building.

On snowy days, the maids in the manor were also very leisurely, but Tifa did not let any maids follow the two of them. Instead, she took Shade alone to the third floor and to the master bedroom of this building, which is In front of the double golden doors of Miss Carina's bedroom.

"That bottle of potion is very precious, so the lady keeps it in the bedroom. Please come in with me, the lady won't mind you entering her bedroom."

Tifa explained before Shade could ask, then opened the door and motioned for Shade to come in.

This is not the first time that Shade has entered Miss Carina's bedroom. During the "Darkness Falls" incident, the "Dark Realm" covered the manor. Tifa led the maids of the manor to take refuge in the master bedroom. Shade entered this place when he arrived at the manor.

But this time after entering, the duchess's bedroom was still filled with a strong smell of incense. The large rooms are quite tasteful, and the Duchess of Saladir has high standards of living.

Red wool carpets covered the floor, and the astonishingly large bed was placed on the ground one step higher than the floor of the room. There are even small doors around it, leading to a separate study, bathroom and cloakroom, but according to Miss Carina, the size of this bedroom is much smaller than her bedroom in Saladir County.

Of course Miss Carina, who was supposed to be "sick and in bed," was not here, but the maids still cleaned on time every day and brought breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. The pink curtains were hung high around the bed, revealing the bed without any visible wrinkles. The quilts were neatly stacked at the head of the bed, and the bright red sheets were bathed in the midday sun.

After Shade walked in, he looked at the room with interest, while Tifa took a step behind and gently closed the door.

"Where is the potion? If it is too precious, you don't have to give it to me. I feel much better now."

Shade turned around and asked.

"it's here."

Tifa bent down and picked up little Mia on the carpet, and opened the cloakroom door under the latter's curious eyes. Shade originally thought there was a safe or a potion workshop hidden in the cloakroom, but the maid just put the cat in and closed the door.

"The potion is here"

Shade already felt something was wrong.

Tifa shook her head:

"Please don't worry."

She walked to the window and carefully closed the curtains. Then he went to the wall and turned down the brightness of the gas lamp.

Finally, he walked to the end of the bed, gently lifted up his skirt, and sat on the edge of the flat bed, with his feet in black leather shoes touching the ground.

She bit her lip and looked at Shade:

"The potion is here."

Xia De was stunned for three seconds before he understood:

"But...this is Miss Carina's bedroom."

"Her" laughter came to my ears, obviously laughing at Shade for asking this.

On the fair face, the red lips raised a smile, and the maid lady nodded slightly:

"Yes, but now, the lady is not here. Isn't this exciting?"

She raised her hand and unbuttoned the first button in the white lace decoration on her chest:

"So, knight, do you want to drink this potion?"

He raised his head slightly, his face was slightly red, and his tone was trembling. Shade stayed where he was, so Tifa stood up dissatisfied and pulled him.

The light from the gas lamp was dim, and their shadows fell on the wall. The light illuminated the decorative brass-colored mechanical bird on the bookshelf, the vertical lotus-shaped table lamp beside the bed, the expensive silk fringe on the curtains, and the antique oil paintings on the wall.

Tifa gently held Shade's head and held him in her arms. After rolling around, he pressed him on the bed. She bit her lip and blushed, controlling her breathing. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Miss Carina's half-length oil painting on the wall of the bedroom:

"Xia De, thank you for everything you have done for us, but we must pay attention to safety in the future. Half an hour after a meal is the time to drink the potion."

The fair face has been dyed rose color:

"Please pay attention to the time, otherwise the other maids will become suspicious."

In the oil painting, the duchess is sitting elegantly on a chair with her hands together, looking out of the painting with a faint smile. At this time, the maid lady, who was snoring, looked at the eyes of the duchess in the oil painting, and the two looked at each other.

The owner of the manor, the owner of the room, and the owner of this soft bed, Carina, Duchess of Cavendish, is in Huntingdon.

(Little Mia is running.)

The advantage of Miss Carina's manor is not only its size. Most of the household facilities that Shade could imagine that might appear in this era can be found in the manor.

For example, the hot spring bath is located on the first floor of the manor and can only be entered from the third floor. The bathhouse may be a little smaller when used as a swimming pool, but it is only a little smaller than what outsiders imagine as a swimming pool.

After two days of sleeping in bed, it felt good to take a dip in the bath, especially now that it was cold winter. For reasons of courtesy and hygiene, Shade did not take little Mia into the bathtub before dinner that evening, and the cat certainly refused to go near such a wet place.

Tifa arranged for the manor's maid to take Shade's bath, but Shade refused.

The black-haired maid said slightly troubled:

"I will also receive the Lord Chancellor of the Kingdom and his entourage on behalf of the young lady later to discuss the candidate for the new Lord Chancellor of the Duchy. Otherwise, I can serve you personally."

"Oh, Tifa, stop kidding me."

Shade said with some trouble, and then remembered what happened in Miss Carina's bedroom a few hours ago. Tifa probably also thought about it, folding her hands on her chest and looking at him with a slightly red face:

"How does the potion feel?"

"Very, very good."

[This is not the adjective you are thinking of. 】

Shade turned around and went to the bathtub with the clothes he had prepared, leaving Tifa looking at his back with a smile.

As the end of the year approaches, the Prophets Association also has a lot going on. Luvia did not make it to dinner at the manor that night. She asked someone to deliver a letter, telling Shad that she would probably not be able to arrive at the manor until later, so Tifa sent a carriage to pick her up. Shade used this night to take stock of his gains in the Battle of Pantanal.

The biggest gain was naturally being promoted from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, and trying to use the word of sublimation.

The reverberation of time and space resonated with the witch's reverberation in Shade's soul, thus truly transcending time and space and summoning the five demigod witches.

Although he felt extremely regretful that he could not speak to those ladies, Shade could still feel their parting kisses.

"Father Tree said that I cannot use the Word of Sublimation easily to prevent disrupting time and space. And using the Word of Sublimation like I did in the early hours of Thursday morning requires the assistance of the ancient ritual matrix."

Shade secretly thought to himself that in this way, the "Witch Reverberation" meant more to him than just the knowledge of witches and the voting rights of the Parliament. That also represents the number of witches he can call in the future. "Witch Reverberation" and "Demigod Witch" are requests that come across time and space.

In addition to his own level and the Word of Ascension, Shade's currently unable to use [Aiken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] has become the most important relic in his hand.

Of course, except for Shade himself, everyone else can use this arrow with Shade's assistance, and the power of the arrow has been enhanced. Shade doesn't know much about the church's specific relic grading process, but now that this arrow is called an "unknown-level relic," it probably can't be said to be too exaggerated. However, in view of the power of [Desire] and [Chasm of Life and Death], the two relics of Shade's complete knowledge of power, [Iken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] is considered to be an angel-level (level 1) relic, which is probably more reasonable. .

Since Luvia has refused to become the chosen one for "Knowledge and Wisdom", Shade plans to wait until Iluna comes back to discuss the fate of the chosen one.

But in fact, he already had an idea in his mind. Instead of giving it to someone now, it would be better to wait until all twelve chosen ones appear before choosing a suitable target. Although this means that Shade can no longer use the power of this arrow, the ability to give the Ring Warlock power is still very useful.

In addition to the brand-new arrows, the harvest worth mentioning is the brand-new parchment scroll that appeared after destroying the "Secret of Agelessness", which was co-written by the demigod witches Miss Violet and Miss Theresa at the end of the fifth era. The "Secret of Agelessness" in the true sense.

This book no longer explores the secret of immortality like the original "Secret of Immortality", but a spellcasting encyclopedia that contains many thaumaturgy and spells with "immortality" as the core, as well as the wishes given to Shade by desire. The Pink Book is very similar.

However, after Tifa's confirmation, only Shade could see the contents on the parchment, while others could only see a blank.

Compared with the "Pink Book", which Shade always suspected of being a trap, he was completely at ease with "The Secret of Agelessness". It's a pity that most of the thaumaturgy and incantation here are not of much use to him. Only in the chapters involving "treatment", those healing thaumaturgy and incantation are very useful.

But he believes that the girls around him will probably like this book very much. Although "The Secret of Agelessness" is written in the language of the Fifth Age and contains many occult terms that were only used in that era, Shade relies on "Witch's Reverberation" can be translated into the terms of this era.

"Miss Violet, Miss Theresa, we will definitely see you again."

Looking at the thick roll of parchment, Shade could almost imagine the smell of perfume on the Witch Emperor and the young witch wearing glasses.
