Whispering Verse

Saturday noon, No. 6, Saint Teresa Square.

Dorothy, who was wearing an apron and humming an unknown tune, was in a good mood and brought the dinner plate with beef stew to the table. The owner of the house and the domestic pet cat were putting their heads on the table, looking at the glass jars brought by the writer.

Shade made a gesture of probing his head, while Xiao Mia made the whole cat lie on the table. As for the small cylindrical glass jar, there were three spiders crawling around.

This is Dorothy's spell-casting material. She is trying to learn a new thaumaturgy called "Spider-Walking" based on the traditional story "Spider-Walker". This thaumaturgy allows the caster to walk on any surface. Although the effect is not very strong, it is related to Dorothy's series of thaumaturgy ideas.

After lunch, she will kill these spiders and prepare a potion, so although the spiders cannot have lunch, this can be regarded as the last lunch.

"Speaking of which, since you don't have spiders, geckos, mice or anything like that in your house, do you want me to put these spiders here?"

The blonde girl joked, and Shade shook his head:

"No need, the situation at home is very good now. In addition to Mia and I, the flowers raised by Luvia are also growing very well on the windowsill."

That is the effect of "Power of the Earth·Field of Fertility".

As he spoke, he patted away the paw that curiously stretched out towards the glass jar. This cat was sometimes too curious, especially towards small things that moved.

"Then let's continue the topic. You said you had a strange dream last night?"

Dorothy asked as she returned to the kitchen.

Shade was speechless for a moment:

"It's not surprising. I also had a nightmare a few days ago. What Luvia said when interpreting the dream at that time can be used to analyze my dream last night."

In his dream last night, he only remembered white hands like flesh snakes grabbing him and pulling him in all directions. The dream was magnificent, bizarre, misty and charming. If it weren't for last night's experience, he would really suspect that his recent series of dreams were caused by "desire".

【No. 】

"I know it's not the case, please don't humiliate me."

As he said that, he looked at the oil painting hanging in the living room again, and Dorothy, who came back with vegetable soup, smiled and asked:

"Louvia can interpret dreams? This is the first time I've heard of it. From the looks of it, did yesterday's experience affect your dreams at night? But last Friday, I heard Lesia say, weren't you going to attend Carina? Did you go to the party’s dinner? What did you experience?”

Although quite ashamed, since Dorothy asked, Shade still waved to the girl in the apron, and then briefly introduced the situation. This can be regarded as explaining to her and Lesiya what the true fusion of "two-in-one" is. Megan and Audrey have been one since they were born. This is a special existence of innate structure, and Leziya and Doro Akane is obviously an acquired taste.

But obviously, Dorothy's focus is not on the current situation of the "two-in-one" witches. Her face turned red, and she was shocked to hear what Shade had experienced last night:

"How can it still be like this? I originally thought that the day of the Red Butterfly between Lesia and I was already..."

"That shouldn't be the point."

"Shade, please let Lesia and I meet this witch!"

"When the incident in Green Lake is over...what do you want to do?"

Dorothy smiled and said nothing, but lowered her head and kissed Shade's forehead while he was sitting:

"Have you recently doubted our relationship with you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Your dream shows that you are really uneasy. You have encountered so many things in the past, are your dreams as frequent as now?"

Today is a leisurely Saturday. After lunch, Shade held little Mia in his arms and went to Dr. Schneider's for a meeting with Miss Writer.

Now is the beginning of the month of praying for rain, which is the best season of the year. On Saturday afternoon, everyone seemed a little lazy. Everyone chatted about recent events and spent the entire afternoon together.

There wasn't much new in this group meeting. Xiao Mia's sleepiness seemed to be contagious to everyone, so that everyone except the doctor who presided over the meeting, including Shade, took a nap midway, but the doctor also Don't care.

As for the most important thing about this meeting, he announced to the group members the notice from the college:

"Since Wednesday's lunar eclipse night, the spatial stability of the material world has been affected to a certain extent. With the Green Lake area as the center, spatial instability has increased sharply. Therefore, the academy hopes that the correspondence magicians can report the anomalies in the area. Report the space phenomenon. It’s better if you can solve it yourself. If you can’t solve it, the college can contact the church to deal with it.”

He was holding a long roll of parchment in his right hand, and his left hand was leaning on the armrest of the sofa to support his face:

"The spatial anomalies currently counted by the academy include: random teleportation - accidentally running thousands of miles away, so we must pay attention to the number of missing people in the area; space fragmentation area - the body will break into pieces after stepping into it , this is also very dangerous for ring magicians. Fortunately, our inspiration is enough to catch the danger signals; spatial confusion areas - similar to the 'endless alleys' or 'circulating streets' in urban legends, but for this kind of thing, the church should can be discovered in time.”

"There was such a thing yesterday in Tobesk North District."

Priest August said suddenly, waking up Luvia who was nodding and dozing off:

"Tobesk? We heard nothing."

It seems that although she took a nap, she did not forget anything important.

"I only found out when I was listening to people chatting in the church. It was not very wide. It just trapped a boy selling newspapers and a beggar."

The priest added, also yawning, the temperature and the sunshine outside the window were really suitable for a nap.

"Doctor, please continue, are there any other phenomena that have been collected?"

Dorothy added, she was very interested in it.

"some."

The doctor continued to look at the parchment in his hand:

"The next thing is relatively rare, the solidified space crack, that is to say, a teleportation crack connecting two different places. However, this only appeared once, on the Kasenrik side, and has nothing to do with us; the most dangerous thing is In weak areas of space, some evil things that were sealed in ancient times, or creatures from outside space, may use this to break into the material world. This is the main issue that the academy focuses on."

Several others wrote down this information, and the doctor focused on Shade:

"The college warns all students with space powers to try not to cast spells across space frequently in the near future to avoid danger. In the future, the space order of the material world will remain in its current chaotic and fragile state, so you must be careful. "

Shade, who was touching the sleeping little Mia, nodded:

"I see."

He knows very well that if this situation continues to evolve, it will eventually become like the end of the [Past Life·Sixth Era], where the order of time and space in the entire world will collapse. But it was still too far to think about this now. He only felt that the cat lying on his lap was getting hot. The sun from the window was just shining on the cat's back. Shade was a little worried that little Mia would be "roasted." ".

He tried to pick up the cat, which became squishier once it fell asleep, but was immediately opposed by little Mia.

This week, Shade submitted a reading report and the Potions class work "Ten Thousand Poisons" to the academy, a potion that can remove most common plant-based poisons. While he was busy investigating Green Lake, he did not delay his studies. Priest August borrowed a book from the college library, and Luvia handed over his stargazing records.

Before the meeting ended that afternoon, Priest August also took out a small bag containing coins and gave it to Luvia. He helped Luvia collect several special coins, and Luvia would collect them later. , helping Priest August divine some things as a reward. As for after the meeting, like last time, Shade did not leave with Dorothy. Instead, he waited until everyone had left, then sat on the sofa and said to the doctor who came in from the door:

"It's confirmed, Labyrinth Demon Yaru. I saw it on Wednesday night during the lunar eclipse."

The doctor was not too surprised. After hearing Shade describe the process of his and the pharmacist's contact with the devil, he thought there was nothing wrong:

"That's it. That guy is very vigilant and won't let his true form be revealed easily. Shade, do you have a way to lure it out again?"

Shade nodded:

"Yes, by contacting a door in the dreams of a specific group of people, the evil spirit demon will definitely show up again. This is what it said itself. But the other party will definitely still appear as an illusion, and there is a high probability that it will not be the real person."

"no problem, no problem."

The doctor smiled and shook his head:

"As long as it projects its power, I can grab its tail. This guy is not strong, at least not stronger than the mirror in Randall Valley, but his hiding ability is too good. And you said it was in a dream? Then It’s more convenient and I have less worries in the dream.”

Shade also thinks this is more convenient:

"Doctor, when do you plan to leave?"

"It will be Monday next week. I still need to make some specific preparations. You don't have to see me off then. I'll leave quietly and try not to attract anyone's attention. I checked the train numbers and I can get to Green Lake in one and a half days. , we can meet on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

He shook his head, as if looking forward to it.

"But I want to say in advance that the situation on Green Lake is very complicated at the moment."

Shade warned.

"I know, I will listen to your arrangements when the time comes."

The doctor said it was absolutely fine:

"Although I don't know how long I can stay in Green Lake, I can definitely help you. Last time I heard you said that the evil spirit demon was working for a thirteen-ring fortune teller? This is very dangerous, but it is not enough. Scare me off.”

"Okay, I'll prepare a room for you in advance. It's called Green Lake Hotel. It's the best hotel on the north shore of the lake, and the owners of the hotel are my friends. The living conditions are very good."

Shade said with a smile, and the doctor nodded, and then looked out the window at the good weather:

"I hope this short trip goes well. The power of the Labyrinth Demon - Yalu is different from all the powers I have now. After swallowing it... the eighth ring is not far away."
