Whispering Verse

After Tifa, the maid at the door, closed the study door again, Miss Carina continued to speak. She said jokingly:

"Detective, I think you should be satisfied with this 'job'. Just take the money with peace of mind. MI6 is in a special situation. There are all kinds of agents. Although it is rare to get a salary for nothing, it will not happen even if you are caught. Something happened."

"Miss Carina...thank you."

Shade could only say thanks like this.

"Detective, that's what I like about you. You know what others have done and you won't be stingy with your own gratitude. Some people can't do such a simple thing. We will have many more cooperations in the future. Founder Silver Moon's The value is not just on the card table. You will gradually find that with this card, you will get a lot of unexpected friendships."

Shade took this sentence as a farewell, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave. But unexpectedly, footsteps sounded from the room inside the study at this time.

He looked at the black-haired maid at the door of the study in surprise. The latter had no intention of urging him to leave immediately.

So he turned around and looked at the door inside the study. The door was pushed open from the inside. First, feet wearing high heels appeared, and then the skirt covered the feet. A young lady with long fiery red hair walked out of the room inside the study.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with fair skin, and her face under light makeup was as beautiful as a rose blooming in midsummer. She was wearing an exquisite black long skirt with lace and tulle decorations on the skirt. Because of the waistband, the curve of the body is particularly prominent.

Her long fiery red hair was carefully braided and tied behind her head, and she wore a black round-top hat decorated with a layer of white tulle. Red hair is the symbol of the Cavendish royal family, and King Larousse III's title of "Fire Jumper" is related to this.

"Detective, good evening."

Carina Cavendish greeted, her diamond earrings sparkling in the warm yellow gas light of the study. The eyes were actually a deep golden color, and Shade had never seen such eyes before.

"Good evening......"

With fair skin, a tall bridge of nose, and delicate cheeks, the other person had a kind of superhuman beauty. This strangeness made Sha De swallow his saliva subconsciously.

"...Miss Carina."

Those golden eyes looked at Shade. Shade did not dodge, but took the initiative to look at the beautiful lady in front of him. Only at close range did he realize that the other person was actually as tall as Sha De.

"But she was wearing high heels."

Shade thought to himself.

After a while, the red-haired duchess took the lead to look away:

"Detective, do you have any more questions? If not, I think I should leave."

"Yeah, there's one more question, you can answer it if you want or not."

Shade said that he knew that the other party was not infinitely generous to him, so for tonight's victory, he decided to get an additional answer to the question:

"I have recently become interested in ancient gods. Regarding the ancient gods, may I ask...does they have anything to do with the Witch Emperor?"

He did not directly ask about "The Whispering Psalm" and the chosen one to prevent him from misjudging the opponent's camp. He was not sure how the Witch Council viewed the Great Prophecy.

Miss Carina smiled, with slight dimples on her face:

"Everyone who knows us will be curious about this issue, but this is a secret of the Parliament and the last secret of the Fifth Epoch. Detective, although I initially trusted you, you are not a witch, and you are not us."

Shade nodded, knowing it couldn't be that simple. But unexpectedly, Miss Carina suddenly said:

"But you can know the answer to that question if you become us... become a woman."

Shade's head immediately shook like a rattle, and then he heard Miss Tifa Servit, the black-haired maid at the door, covering her mouth and laughing softly. Miss Carina also laughed:

"Of course I am joking. The Parliament only accepts pure women, without exception. Detective, although you cannot become a member of the Witch Parliament, you will be protected by me, Carina Cavendish. I am with Although their relationship is not very good, with this status, no one in the parliament will make things difficult for you."

As he said that, he actually took the initiative and grabbed Shade's wrist.

Shade was stunned, not to mention that many people have mentioned that "the great witches in the Witch Council generally hate men." Even if they don't hate men, grabbing a man's wrist casually like this is not a normal behavior.

"What's wrong?"

he asked, tugging his wrist free. Miss Carina glanced at the palm of her hand, shook her head slightly, then walked to the door, turned her back to him and said:

"Detective, if necessary, I will send someone to find you. When Tifa sends you the [relic], you will also get my contact information... The last witch emperors of the Fifth Age, indeed They have inherited the power of thirteen ancient gods. As for the great witch of the Sixth Age... I will tell you next time."

The maid, Miss Tifa Servit, opened the door, and together with the servants waiting outside, led Miss Carina out of the study.

Shade stood in the study, listening to their footsteps gradually disappearing in the corridor, and it took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.

He frowned and asked in his mind:

"Her attitude towards me is very strange. Is there anything on me that I haven't discovered that might be beneficial to her? When she grabbed my hand, was there any sign of using magic or magic? ?”

He still has this vigilance.

【No. 】

Nodding, he stared at the study carpet at his feet again, recalling every detail of the meeting between the two:

"Besides, there is something wrong with that Miss Carina. I am now considered an introduction to occult science, and the elements on her body are a bit strange... What did you feel when you were at close range just now?"

[For ordinary ring wizards, even if they specialize in a certain field, such as your writer friend, the four elements are generally balanced, but she is different. 】

"Is it unbalanced? That's it."

Then got a further answer:

[The whispering element of Carina Cavendish is almost the sum of the other three elements. But she is indeed a human being, not a humanoid relic. 】

"Whispers? Could it be that this is the special way of taking office that the doctor mentioned? Using relics to take office? No, you can't just guess."

Shade looked towards the door:

"Witch Council, witches...could it be said that the last thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era and the thirteen chosen ones of this era all have the same mission? But that's not right, the history of the academy Although the book is vague about the changes in eras, there is indeed no 'door' appearing, and there is no such thing as a huge change between the Fifth Era and the Sixth Era..."

He thought about these things and left the study.
