Whispering Verse

A smile appeared on Miss Danister's delicate face:

"I knew you must have something going on. Tell me about the news about the Level 0 relics. Even if you want our principal to help you, he will consider agreeing."

"It's not that troublesome. I would like to ask you to arrange for me to meet with the believers of the old gods. I am not interested in the [Destiny Base], and I don't want to ask about the relic. I just want to ask them some questions about the old gods. and doctrinal issues.”

"No problem. The Prophet Association is hiding such an important thing. I thought they were really preparing for the large ceremony this weekend."

Miss Denister spoke softly, and then asked Shade a new question:

"The matter of Green Lake, combined with your preliminary investigation and the information provided by the church in the past few days, St. Byrons has almost figured out everything. Shade, do you think Laplace Klein Howard can really Do you want to be the chosen one in the space as you wish?"

Shade was a little surprised that she would ask him this question, but he understood it immediately, so he answered half-truthfully:

"The ancient god of space, the original rift, symbolizes not only space, but also separation and convergence. The soothsayer only saw the unity of many as one, but did not realize that the complete unity of many as one is truly Does it match the power of that ancient god?"

Miss Denister was satisfied with his answer:

"I understand. So, when do you think the Green Lake thing will be over?"

"In a week or two, after the Prophet Association's big prediction, it's almost time to take action."

"Since you know more about this place, do you have any suggestions for the college's recent actions?"

Shade thought for a while:

"On both sides of Green Lake, relics of places and events have appeared frequently recently. At the same time, the two fifth-generation Edwards hidden in [Tyranny Club] and [Dragon Feast Order] must have important information about their ancestors. Intelligence. I am almost certain that at least one of these two people has been dissatisfied with his ancestors from a long time ago."

Miss Denister nodded clearly, and Shade finally added:

"In addition, I already have clues about the investigation of the Sun, Moon and Star Ceremony Formation. I saw that symbol with my own eyes in the book in Laplace Klein Howard's hand. The letter in your hand comes from The third generation Pride Edwards was responsible for his investigation that led to the Central Island of Green Lake becoming what it is today. I think he should have also seen this pattern from the fortune teller back then. Unfortunately, Prudential Edwards Ryder Edwards, now that he has become a demon, don’t worry about the demon, it has been resolved.”

The sorceress nodded and continued to look at the islands in the distance with Shade on the abandoned dock.

a long time:

"Xia De, you are really outstanding."

"Thank you. You taught me well and it is my honor to contribute to the college."

Miss Daniste glanced at him and felt that she had guessed why there were so many sorceresses around him.

No other interesting things happened this Tuesday. The broken wooden boat that Shade brought back was studied by Megan and Audrey. Miss Benanis and Miss Sylvia on the other side of the lake were responsible for following Luvia's divination. , looking for the descendants of the mayor of Green Lake Town. The two Edwards who became cultists are now the targets of everyone, while the soul of Nicholas Green Sr.’s mother is still wandering unknown where.

During dinner that evening, Shade heard from the doctors and priests who had returned from the "outing" that in the sparsely populated rural area on the south bank of the lake, a giant centipede-like monster with at least a hundred legs appeared due to space cracks. They saw with their own eyes the church's troops fighting fiercely with them. And the serial murder case published in the corner in the evening newspaper that day was another three brothers of the corpse lich, hunting the descendants of Green Lake Town.

As for the discussion about the abnormal phenomenon in the night sky last night, it was only circulated among a few citizens. Everything seemed safe and sound, but to Shade, this was clearly the calm before the storm.

When he woke up at home early on Wednesday morning, Shade first took a look at the cat sleeping peacefully beside the pillow, then got up and went to the bedroom window to open the curtains. The early morning in Tobesk looked a little gray in the light rain. This kind of weather was not suitable for going out. Fortunately, most of Shade's friends in Tobesk had already arrived at Green Lake, and he didn't need to walk around the city.

It's still raining in Green Lake City today, and it's still the kind of hazy drizzle that can be used with or without an umbrella. Shade did not eat at home, but carried little Mia and goat milk to Green Lake. When he walked out of the back door of the hotel, because it was still early, the boy John hadn't "got up" yet, so Shade put a few coins next to his "home" and then entered the hotel through the front entrance.

I said hello to Ms. Green at the front desk, and handed the goat milk to the waiter for help to heat it. Shade yawned subconsciously, took a newspaper from the front desk that had not yet been sent upstairs, and sat down on the seat next to the wall.

Not long after, the doctor and the priest also came down from upstairs and sat at the same table as Shade. The doctor will stay in the hotel today and continue to help Shade make the coin to fool the devil. The priest, who already has a general understanding of the local area, plans to continue walking around the lake and meet what Shade mentioned. Mr. Nicholas Green, the old ghoul.

Their conversation did not avoid Ms. Helena Green at the front desk. After hearing Shade's friend's plan, the woman asked the priest to help bring their father a copy of the recent photos, and the priest readily agreed.

"Speaking of which, Bill, did you hear any strange noise last night? It was probably around eleven o'clock. I had already gone to bed at that time. There was a lot of rain outside. Was there an explosion in the city?"

While eating breakfast, the priest asked the doctor, who nodded:

"I went downstairs to get hot chocolate and I heard it too. It wasn't a steam bomb going off. I looked out the window and it looked like something big was coming to town."

The priest shook his head, as if lamenting that this city was so dangerous. Seeing Xia De reading the newspaper, he asked Xia De again:

"Detective, now that the city has become like this, is it really necessary to continue the negotiations between the two countries? I heard in Tobesk that the negotiations here have not been smooth."

Shade turned the newspaper to the second page and showed it to them:

"The church also means the same thing, but this negotiation cannot be stopped if it wants to. Look here - "King Larus III receives the Ambassador of Kassenrik to Tobesk at the Yodel Palace". Now the newspaper is blowing, Be prepared for a sudden suspension of negotiations. On the Kasenrik side, they are making a fuss about the injuries of Princess Margaret and Duke Simil, trying to suspend negotiations on the grounds that it is no longer safe here."

"But now that the negotiations have not produced a result, won't this make the conflict more intensified?"

The priest commented based on his own life experience, and the doctor asked another question:

"Speaking of which, in the past few days, I have often seen follow-up reports on the assassination of Princess Margaret of Kasenlik in local newspapers, but few people have seriously discussed it. The Simil who was shot by the detective mentioned Duke."

"Even if a royal princess has whooping cough, it will attract more attention than hundreds of people dying in a flood."

Shade shrugged, then turned the newspaper back a page:

"However, it would be wrong to say that the negotiations were fruitless. At least the two sides reached an agreement on the northwest border of the Pantanal, and incidentally resolved the issue of potato import and export tariffs that had been put on hold for more than ten years."

"If I remember correctly, isn't the northwest side of the Pantanal border a real swamp area where even people can't walk?"

The doctor asked in surprise, but Priest August was very interested in the topic of potatoes:

"The two countries have imposed tariffs on each other for more than ten years on the potato issue, but I didn't expect it to be resolved. Oh, I must try Kasenlik baked sweet potatoes again when I have the chance. I went to Kasenlik on a business trip when I was young, and I always It feels like the potatoes over there are sweeter.”

"Old sir, you are talking about the potatoes grown in the southwest of Kasenlik. If you like it, we can prepare dinner for you."

said the young waiter who brought them a new teapot, and the priest politely thanked him.

And by the time the yawning Dorothy came downstairs at around nine o'clock, the guests having breakfast on the first floor had basically left. Shade was still sitting by the wall, flipping through the newspaper, and little Mia was still lying on his lap.

"Are you awake? Did you sleep late last night? Why did you get up?"

Shade called the waiter and brought him the breakfast he had ordered for Dorothy in advance. The lazy blonde girl sat down opposite Shade:

"I slept well, but it's just that I finally went out to travel, so why did I get up so early? And I'm a freelancer, so I don't need to get up early. Besides, it's raining outside, you know? The happiest thing is rainy weather. Huddle up on the bed and read a book under the quilt."

She was in a good mood, and Shade also laughed:

"It's better to stay in the hotel. Lesia might ask you for help."

This refers to swapping bodies and letting Dorothy help with things when you're tired.

"I was chatting with the priest and the doctor just now, but the priest has already gone out. Can you guess what we talked about?"

"Three men are getting together, and since you are all serious people, I guess you must be talking about politics."

She hit the nail on the head with her casual statement.

The waiter quickly brought Dorothy's breakfast. The lazy girl had nothing to do today, and she didn't plan to go out in the rain, so she was not in a hurry to eat. Dayou sat here until noon, and then What it means to have lunch with Shade.

However, she mentioned something strange while eating.
