Whispering Verse

After listening to the blond writer's words, Shade sat on his bed holding the big apple and wondered why.

Miss Louisa suddenly stood up and reached out to grab the stranger's hand with a determined look on her face. Shade sat on the bed without even a chance to dodge.

"Xia De, if you are interested in the elements of enlightenment, I am willing to help you improve on this path... You don't know, the [Little Match Girl] spiritual rune is very important for gaining enlightenment of civilization from the story. The Ring Warlock is so incredible."

Shade understood the situation and squirmed uneasily on the bed. When Mia saw Shade being caught, she also "snarled" at the blonde girl, but her voice was so soft that people unfamiliar with the cat would suspect that it was acting coquettishly.

Shade suspected that Miss Louisa let him have breakfast in bed just to give him "no way to escape." Of course, her strength is not strong. If Shade wanted to break away, he wouldn't even have to put in any effort:

"Miss Louisa, don't be so excited yet. Are you saying that you want to guide you to discover the power of the Enlightenment Rune?"

He tried to communicate with Miss Louisa, who was a little excited. The distance between the two was a little too close. In addition to the aroma of breakfast, he also smelled the fragrance that he smelled in the apartment rented by Miss Louisa.

"Not only that, if you need it, I can teach you everything I know, Shade, I'm not just a fourth-ring warlock, I have my secrets...and in exchange, you need to cooperate with me, Study the power of your spiritual rune."

She looked at Shade eagerly, her golden hair seemed to be shining in the morning light. Shade was indeed shocked by the enthusiasm of the lady in front of him at first, but when he thought about it carefully, it was actually very good. He happened to lack someone who could teach him the power of the ring warlock in a deeper way:

"No problem, that's fine."

He nodded.

A smile appeared on Miss Louisa's face. She let go of Shade's hand and sat back on the chair. He fiddled with the hair beside his ears with his hands:

"That's great. I thought you would refuse. After all, most people don't like others touching their secrets."

But compared to the origins of the Outlander, this is no secret at all.

"What would you do if I said no?"

Shade asked curiously, continuing to stir the meat porridge with a spoon. Seeing that the "dangerous" situation had passed, Mia Cat continued to peek at Shade's breakfast.

"Threatening you with the pages worth 6,000 pounds that you burned last night... Just kidding, we are friends, I will not do that kind of thing, and besides, you saved me. However, In a few weeks, when the owner of those pages returns to Tobesk, you will come with me to apologize. No compensation is necessary. I have a good relationship with her, and you promised to let me study, I mean, teach you. , it’s enough to repay it.”

Shade was amused by Miss Louisa's attitude, but he was relieved that he didn't have to pay for the expensive pages on which the mysterious knowledge was written.

"Shade, every Saturday from now on, after you leave the doctor, you come to my place and we will teach and do research. Don't worry, since I promised to teach you, you don't have to worry about the enlightenment runes of each ring in the future."

Miss Louisa said quite confidently, and then Shade noticed that she didn't know when she started calling him by his first name.

"In addition, thank you for your trust and willingness to share this secret with me. So in order to make you feel at ease, I will also tell you my secret."

Shade looked up at her. The blonde girl was a little embarrassed:

"The owner of those pages of "The Little Match Girl" is Princess Lesia Cavendish. She and I have a very good relationship, but neither of us wants to tell others about this relationship."

"Why? Because you are..."

Shade cautiously made a gesture, and Miss Louisa immediately blushed:

"Of course not, Shade, don't think about it. It's just because the two of us have an extraordinary connection. I will tell you about this connection when Lesia returns to Tobesk. Oh, Lesia is also a ringleader. Warlock, Fifth Ring, is also proficient in the elements of enlightenment. She is a student of Zarath Academy of Literature. Fourth Ring has been studying at Zarath Academy of Literature before. Later, she took the initiative to apply to become a correspondence student. I learned all about Zarath Academy from her. knowledge that can help you.”

From this, Shade was absolutely certain that Miss Louisa was definitely not an academic spy from Zarath Academy of Literature. He even suspected that the female writer was an academic spy from St. Byrons Comprehensive College to steal the knowledge of Zalas Literary College.

But he still felt strange that since Miss Louisa was on good terms with Princess Lesia, even if they didn't meet, they would definitely not perform counter-divination every time they communicated through letters. Logically speaking, it is impossible for St. Byrons to "not find out the connection between Miss Louisa and the royal family."

"It's really weird."

He thought to himself, lowered his head and continued eating. Maybe when you meet the princess who is visiting a foreign country, you will know all these secrets.

It is never a joke for a relic to get out of control. What happened last night was just because the guy holding the relic was seriously injured and his body was eroded by the relic. As for the little girl who was affected, it was only because the first-level warlock's treatment failed to eradicate the effect, plus the specialness of her soul, that she attracted the evil god's attention.

If Shade and Miss Louisa had not visited the little girl Sophie, then there is a high probability that the family would disappear silently into the material world without leaving any clues, and no one would know what happened.

This once again told Shade how dangerous this world really is. But fortunately, it was just the evil god's gaze. Even if he didn't have the divine afterglow state, he could survive it with a little luck.

Miss Louisa was also seriously injured last night, but she recovered on Sunday morning after Shade regained consciousness. According to her, this is the treatment given when the mystery lock disappears. In the story of "Match Girl", the girl is redeemed in the final light of fire. As reflected in the Mystery Lock, when the Mystery Lock disappears, all friendly units inside the Mystery Lock will receive a certain amount of treatment.

Last night was not without other gains. Being watched by the evil god [God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea] for a moment was extremely dangerous, but because of this, both Shade and Miss Louisa gained from the blasphemy element.

They compared their gains with each other. Shade obtained the spell [Underwater Breathing], which literally means he can breathe underwater. Because it is the gaze of the evil god, unlike normal spellcasting that requires water plants and other casting materials, Shade does not need anything.

What Miss Louisa obtained was the spell [Head Soaking Curse], and she demonstrated this spell on the spot.

First, he opened his mouth, and a small transparent bubble floated out of his mouth. Then the bubble grew larger until it enveloped his entire head.

Little Mia immediately got angry and stopped in front of Shade and meowed at the "monster". She probably wanted to protect Shade.

"It's okay, it's okay...what's the use of this?"

Shade hugged the small cat to comfort it, and then asked Miss Louisa. Miss Louisa stretched out her finger and popped the bubble with a bang:

"This kind of bubble can store a large amount of the air we breathe, and can isolate harmful gases in toxic environments. Theoretically, it can also help underwater breathing, but the time is limited, and the air in the bubble is limited."

In this way, Shade still thinks that the "Head Bubble Curse" is more effective, but Miss Louisa insists that "Underwater Breathing" is more effective. Even if they live far inland from the coastline, they may need to go on an underwater adventure at some point.

After confirming that Shade was gradually recovering, Miss Louisa left Saint Teresa Square. The two agreed to officially start teaching and research next Saturday night. Miss Louisa would remind Shade again during the group gathering on Saturday afternoon, and within this week, she would find a way to make something simpler for Shade. Books to obtain the Enlightenment Rune.

She slept on the sofa last night and didn't get a good rest. Now she was going back to rest and going to the opera with Miss Anat in the evening.

Before leaving, Shade also asked her about the "white stone crystal" and the triangular symbol on the bottom of the potion bottle, but the female writer did not know.

Miss Louisa recommended that Shade ask Priest Augustus:

"The priest is a ring magician from the School of Chemistry and has some research on minerals. He comes from the church and is proficient in heraldry. The priest can probably give you the answer."

Shade did not go out again this morning. His mental state was not good, and he needed to participate in a Rhodes game with the old Duke at night, so he planned to rest at home during the day.

When Miss Louisa helped fetch the goat's milk in the morning, she also fetched newspapers and letters.

The only letter was from the Church of the Dawn. He thought it was from the Augustan priest, but when he opened it he found that it was from Mr. French of the Church of the Dawn. This old man led the church's "construction team" to help Shade open the first floor yesterday evening.

He originally said that he would find the key to Room 2 on the second floor as soon as possible and deliver it to him, but he didn't expect that he would receive a letter in just one day.

But the letter is not good news. Room 2 cannot be opened yet.

"The church wants to find time to conduct exorcisms?"

He sat at the dining table and looked at the letter in his hand, and was surprised to read the key content:

"The Dawn Church believes that there may still be hidden dangers in Room No. 2 where a mass suicide occurred, so it needs to find time to have church professionals perform an exorcism before it can be opened... This is a good thing. Maybe they can let them Let’s do some exorcism in Room 1, it’s free anyway.”

Although ordinary people in this era do not know the true existence of mystery, superstition is universal, and the church will also look for content truly related to mystery in large and small "haunting" incidents that are true and false. Therefore, the church's advocacy of exorcism does not seem out of the ordinary to ordinary people.

Shade put the letter aside, looked at Room 2 on the second floor, and asked the voice in his heart again:

"Are you sure you've never felt an evil spirit on the second floor?"

[Unless there is a special hidden space like a basement, I'm pretty sure. 】

Now Xia De felt more relieved.
