Whispering Verse

The light of dusk covered Shade's figure who disappeared after throwing out the glass slipper. At the same time, on the top floor of Belindel Big Ben, the tallest building in the city. The lady leaning on the railing and looking at the night view of the city under the dim sky waved behind her:

"Divination cards."

The maid with her head lowered immediately came over with a stack of cards. The lady with fluffy blond hair quickly shuffled the cards, then drew three of them, and then frowned deeply:

"A strange result. The inhuman thing that walked out of the ancient dragon's nest and conquered the dragon of time and space will completely affect my life in the not-too-distant future. I just want to know what is better for dinner, and what is the result? ?”

The maid didn't know how her master got such a specific result from just three cards. She lowered her head and didn't dare to ask.

"Dragon's nest. Powerful power, dragon of time and space, huh?"

Although he thought this result was ridiculous, there was a very cautious look in his golden eyes:

"Matilda, go investigate and see if there are dragonborn ring warlocks in the city recently. Also, are the summer practices of the three major colleges about to start? Contact our friends in Serkses and ask if We can get a list, or at least ask, if there are any Dragonborn among the Ring Warlock students going to the Moon Bay area this time."

"Yes, miss."

The maid lowered her head and said cautiously, and Dame Bella Belindel continued to look at the stack of divination cards:

"Is it a mistake? But there should be no mistakes in fate. Just when the prophecy was about to come true, something like this happened."

She took off her white lace gloves, rinsed the remaining cards using a special technique, and then placed her bare hands on the top card:

"Then, O fate, please tell me how to deal with it."

The cards were turned over, and the silver cat and the orange cat jumped into the sky together, where the silver moon and the blazing sun intertwined.

The great witch of fate remained silent for a long time:

"Is there this card in my divination cards? It seems that my sage-level relic [Odd Painting Divination Card] is working again, but what does this mean?"

She looked at this pretty card and couldn't decipher its specific meaning:

"If the silver cat refers to the silver dragon, what does the orange cat refer to?"

She looked at the Moon Bay Bridge that was still under construction on the Tatton River in the distance. When closed, it would become an "arch"-shaped bridge. In fact, it was the best design plan she selected through the city council after divination. The last afterglow of the setting sun barely penetrated the clouds and shone on the witch's beautiful face, but the great witch of fate was not always able to successfully interpret the fate that she did not know.

(Little Mia is running.)

Shade spent an afternoon wandering around Moon Bay City. After returning home, he received a dinner invitation from the ladies of the Cavendish family. More specifically, it was an invitation from Miss Carina and Lesia.

So Shade, who was about to go out to take little Mia to eat, waited at home for a long time. When the cat was meowing and about to go crazy, the carriage sent by the Duke finally stopped at the downstairs of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.

As Miss Carina's "secret" lover, Shade, of course, cannot eat with the duchess and the princess of his country in public, so the place of eating is still a secret club in the city.

In addition to the ladies who sent out invitations, Agelina also appeared together. During the meal, the three Cavendish also listened to Shade's account of what they had seen that afternoon, and looked at the Dragon Wen gold coin that Shade had brought.

Agelina envied Shade's ability:

"Being able to appear in a distant city casually, and even when you're in a bad mood, you can easily leave the hustle and bustle of the big city and see the scenery in the distance. This is amazing."

Miss Carina looked at her young grandniece with a smile, and then handed the gold coin back to Shade:

"You don't need to look up the information. I know what you are encountering. The dragon altars in the dragon nest have been recorded since the ancient dragon empire in the third era. The appearance of these altars seems to be related to the 'light' It is related to the ancient god - the Dragon of Glory, but it can only be worshiped and used by dragons or dragon-blood races. It is not impossible to find such altars in modern times, but most of them have lost their function. But I know that Serkses Higher Medical School There is one inside, so they have the most dragonborn students there."

"So what is this gold coin?"

Shade asked again, and the witch explained to him:

"The currency used in the ancient dragon era is actually currency, but should actually be called alchemical materials. This kind of gold coin is added to metal smelting, which can enhance the hardness and strength of the metal and make traces of dragon scales appear on the surface of the metal. If there are a large number, it can even Let ordinary metals directly possess extraordinary abilities. Keep it, this is rare in this era. Although the altar in Serkeses is more powerful than the one you found, it does not produce many gold coins. Your home Isn't there a special door that can strengthen alchemy items? This can be used as a material."

Shade nodded to express his understanding. Although the sorceresses of the Cavendish family were also interested in the dragon's nest and the altar, it was a pity that they could not go there.

After talking about the altar, Lesia said to Shade:

"You came to me this morning and said you wanted to help me. I didn't prepare much at that time. Before we say goodbye in the evening, remember to take the letters and tokens. I have a lot of people in Yuewan City. You can just take the tokens. They can be mobilized directly.”

"Of course it's good if it doesn't delay your business."

Shade touched the cat squatting on a high stool waiting to be fed:

"I just need some help. How many people do you have over there? I mean absolutely trustworthy."

Lesia thought for a while:

"Twenty-three people. But if you include unknowing helpers and hired help, there may be hundreds of people."

"So much?"

Agelina explained for him:

"Almost all forces have their own intelligence and spy bases in the City of Fortune - Moon Bay area. Although Coldwater Port is also an important port on the west coast, it is strictly controlled by Delarian. The independence of Moon Bay, The Gray Gloves of Kasenrik cannot fully control the situation. And I heard my father talk about it when chatting with Director Anlos of MI6. This is also the reason why the Moon Bay City Council let it go. Over there The situation is complicated, so you have to be careful.”

The little princess reminded softly, while the red-haired witch took a sip of red wine:

"Xia De, you are from MI6. Why don't you go to your boss to ask about the situation? The abnormal weather and plague in the summer have kept both the North and the South busy dealing with domestic affairs. At least there will be no outbreak before the end of this summer. All-out war. Therefore, both countries are stepping up their penetration of the Moon Bay area. Once the war breaks out, the importance of Moon Bay is self-evident, and Director Anlos should have a lot of new information about the Moon Bay area."

This is a good idea. Shade nodded and was thinking about whether he could find traces of Detective Sparrow in Moon Bay City.

Agelina handled the food on the plate gracefully with a knife and fork, and then said:

"Kasenrik seems like an unfriendly neighbor to us. It would be nice if they were like real neighbors, knowing that since no one can move, they can live in peace and occasionally give each other some gifts. "

Although these words were a bit naive, Shade, Lesia and Miss Carina still smiled. Lesia wanted to remind her sister of the complexity of the relationship between the two countries, so she said to her:

"Realistic neighbors sometimes seem kind, but in fact they don't know what to say about you behind your back."

“But don’t we have nice neighbors?”

Agelina said, then noticed three sets of eyes staring at her at once.

The little princess looked at Shade and his relatives hesitantly:

"Well, what's wrong? Oh, I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't refute what you said."

"That's not the question. Lesia, when did you have neighbors? Miss Carina, do you have neighbors in Yodel Palace?"

Shade frowned and asked, Lecia and the red-haired witch both shook their heads:

"I don't remember Yodel Palace having neighbors."

Yoder Palace, located on Silver Cross Avenue, has the Kingdom Parliament on one side and the Royal St. James Palace where official banquets are held for the royal family. Diagonally across from the Yodel Palace complex are the Prophets Association and the Platinum Club. Members of Parliament during their lunch break and nobles waiting to enter the Yodel Palace like to gather at the Platinum Club to enjoy a moment of leisure.

Directly opposite the Yodel Palace is the branch of the Royal Academy of Delrayon. The headquarters of the Royal Academy of Sciences is in the University District, opposite the Jodel Palace. It is used more as an exhibition than as a workplace for researchers. Therefore, it is more like a museum for Delarion to display its national technological strength to the outside world.

Therefore, there are actually no so-called "neighbors" in Yodel Palace. If Agelina calls the neighbor next to her room, then her neighbor should be one of her sisters.

"Who are our neighbors? What do they do?"

Shade and Miss Carina both became serious. Lecia also put down her knife and fork and looked at Agelina. The latter was a little scared, but still confused:

"Isn't it Mr. Goodman and Mrs. Goodman? They have always been our neighbors. Mr. Goodman works as an accountant in a factory, and Mrs. Goodman is pregnant and a full-time housewife. They also have a dog Myrtilis Sheepdog, that puppy is about the same size as little Mia.”

She described it in detail, but this made the other three more confused. Seeing that Agelina still didn't realize what had happened, Miss Carina gave Shade a look, and Shade stood up, came behind the little princess under the puzzled gaze, and then put his hand on her forehead. superior. Her face immediately turned red, and Shade maintained this action for dozens of seconds before letting go:

"The strong whispering element was not detected, the exposure time was not long, and the impact was not deep."

Lesia felt a little relieved and continued to ask Agelina:

"Are you sure we really have neighbors?"

"Yes, the Goodmans have lived next door to us since I was born."

She recalled it carefully to make sure her memory was correct:

"What's wrong with them?"

The witch said to her sadly:

"Either there is a problem with your memory, or there is a problem with the memory of everyone in the world except you. Let's go and visit our neighbors."

"But it's so late now."

"That's why it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Shade said as he picked up the cat and stood up together with Miss Carina and Lesia, so Agelina followed the three of them in confusion and prepared to leave, but after thinking hard she still didn't know what was wrong.
