Whispering Verse

"We just met each other, and you gave me a mission to exchange for information. It's like..."

"Like the person in fairy tales who gives missions to the brave?"

The blue-eyed girl smiled, and the wind blew the black hair around her ears. She reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears:

"I have lived in this city for a long, long time, and you will accidentally see me in many places in the future. How about this, I will add some rewards for you."

Head tilted slightly to the left:

"Every time you see me in the city, I can tell you something you don't know about the city. Is that okay?"

"Of course. This is even a little too generous for me. Madam, have you met me before?"

Shade asked suspiciously. The girl wearing lace gloves squinted her eyes and covered her mouth with a smile:

"You are really interesting, Mr. Watson. Is this a technique for chatting up strange girls? This kind of conversation was not popular fifty years ago. There are five tasks in total, so let's complete my first task. , the mission location is on this Herring Street. A little girl with an unfortunate life lives here, try to find a way to help her. "

"Who is he referring to specifically? There must be more than one unfortunate girl living on this street."

"The anchor will guide you."

She still smiled and said:

"You have completed your mission. I will not take the initiative to find you. You need to come to me. But you are not allowed to inquire about my address from Mr. Curator. Please do not cheat."

Shade took out the silver anchor, which he thought was an ordinary item. Miss Eleser reached out and flicked it, and the anchor immediately glowed with a sea-blue light.

[Outlander, you have come into contact with a "miracle". 】

"Miracle?"

"Well, now that you have discovered me in Moon Bay for the first time, let me tell you some interesting facts about this city."

The black-haired girl thought for a while:

"A giant dragon once lived here, and a god once came to this land."

Shade had seen relevant records in the Green Island book series, but the book did not record which god came here, only that it was an evil god.

"Yes, God descends. That is a god who swallows a giant dragon to gain its power. It is a god who hates the dragon and then invents a god that allows mortals to pass rituals and seize the power of the dragon."

Shade's expression suddenly changed:

"Dragon Feast Ceremony! Dragon Feast Cult, Evil God - [Dragon Eater Demon]?!"

This order is extremely ancient and can be traced back to the time when the dragons established the heyday of the Dragon Kingdom in the Third Age. No one knows the origin of the god, but the "Dragon Feast Ritual" he taught to mortals directly led to the collapse of the Dragon Kingdom at its peak. Therefore, the [Dragon Feast Order] in its heyday could even be said to be the most powerful evil god order in the material world at that time.

Hunting the dragon itself does not threaten humans and other ethnic groups, but the bloody and cruel dragon feasting ritual will cause the mortal creatures that seize the power of the dragon to become bloodthirsty and crazy. There are even rumors of the evil spirits and demons that ravaged the material world in the third era. Appearance is also linked to their doctors proving this is not true. In short, the [Dragon Cult] has become the enemy of most intelligent races, but the cultists who swallowed the dragon and mutated their bodies, and also possessed the power of the dragon themselves, in that era when evil spirits and demons threatened civilization, Still incredibly powerful and terrifying.

"Yes, it is the great one. He once came to this land. This is the classic book of the Righteous God Church, and only sporadic information is recorded about the past. How about it, is this news useful to you?"

She continued to ask with a smile, and Shade nodded immediately:

"Very useful, Miss Elise Glorious."

Hearing this title, the blue-eyed girl showed a bright smile. Compared with the always gloomy weather in Yuewan City, this smile was really bright:

"Then before bidding farewell this time, let me tell you an additional piece of information. There are rumors that the great one is himself a dragon. There is of course no evidence for this rumor, but there are a few records of the arrival of the great one. It is said that the Saint of the Old God, the Dragon-Eating Demon, will always only choose the giant dragon."

Theoretically, gods can come to the material world through any means, but different gods have different preferences. For example, the legendary ancient god-Silver Moon Sage, in the ancient era, would only be a female god; the evil god-Stone Heart Demon who had fought with Shade preferred to choose perfect stone carvings; not to mention the vampire god , the patrons of vampires will only choose vampires; on the other hand, gods like [Lord of the Blood Feast] don’t have much preference, basically just a living person with flesh and blood.

It is quite interesting that the god "Dragon Devourer" who devours giant dragons chooses the divine possession to descend from him. It is actually a giant dragon.

While Shade was thinking, Miss Elise had already said goodbye to him with a smile:

"Looking forward to our next encounter, Mr. Watson. May the sea bless you, and may all your wishes come true."

She backed up and waved to Shade, and then a large group of people passed between the two. By the time the crowd dispersed, Miss Elisa had disappeared.

"What a strange man."

Shade whispered in his heart, looking down at the silver anchor in his hand:

"The Miracle Element. Who is she?"

No matter who Miss Elisa was, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Shade still had to complete his investigation mission to Herring Street first.

Since we already know the address, there is no need to inquire about it. And when Shade walked through the streets of Herring Street, knocked on the dirty door of No. 11 Herring Street, and explained the person he was looking for to the person who opened the door, who looked like the landlady, the one wearing a comb The middle-aged fat woman looked at Sha De sideways, and then said in a tone that must be described as "contempt":

"A skinny guy from the North wants to sleep with a woman from Yuewan? She's not at home, so get out."

With that said, he slammed the door in front of Shade.

Shade lowered his head and looked at himself:

"Discriminating against Delarians? Also, am I skinny?"

[Of course not thin. 】

"She" said softly in Shade's ear.

"Yeah, you're definitely not thin."

At dinner that day, after Luvia heard Shade talk about his actions this afternoon, she also smiled and comforted:

"I've seen you with your shirt off, and I can assure you, my dear Shade, that your figure is normal and you don't need to have such anxiety."

Dinner was delivered to our home from the restaurant, the gas lamp was turned off, and the candles were lit. Today we had a romantic candlelight dinner at home. Little Mia squatted on a high stool and looked at the candle light, looking very energetic. The purple-eyed fortune teller's eyes were bent, and she was very interested in Sha De's experience today:

"I'm actually more curious about the eleventh-level witch of destiny. Her name is Bella Belindel, right? She looks down on the Prophet's Association so much, and I really want to talk to her or compete with her. "

"There should be opportunities in the future. In my opinion, Miss Belindel is indeed very capable, but it is indeed not a good habit to rely too much on divination."

He skillfully cut the medium-rare veal steak with sauce and placed one portion in front of the cat. Little Mia didn't lower her head to eat immediately, but instead called out softly "Meow~" and rubbed her head against Shade's hand. Shade also patted its little head. The obedient cat made the dinner atmosphere more enjoyable. alright.

"Reliance on divination"

The expression of interest on Luvia's face became even more intense:

"I'm going to get something."

After saying that, he stood up and left on the high heels he had specially prepared for dinner, but soon came back from the living room with his own cards in his hand:

"I would like to divine the future fortune for that witch."

She smiled and sat across from Shade again. Shade asked in surprise:

"But she is not in front of you. You have never even seen her. You just heard me describe some of her characteristics. Can this also be used for divination?"

"Of course you can, it will just greatly reduce the accuracy. But after finally meeting such an interesting fortune teller, how can you not give it a try? The opponent must have a [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] that is no less than yours. Such anti-divination stuff, but it doesn’t matter, just give it a try.”

She pushed the dinner plate forward, then cut and shuffled the cards skillfully, and placed the divination cards on the table in stacks while mumbling something. She didn't even use any relics to assist, and only performed the most basic card divination.

When all the divination cards were placed on the table into five stacks, she closed her eyes and prepared to draw cards from them.

But just after Luvia closed her eyes, Shade, opposite her, was surprised to see the transparent figure of Luvia with long hair appearing behind Luvia. Compared to the first time Shade observed the long-haired Luvia last year, her figure was much more solid at this time.

Rapunzel smiled and raised her finger, signaling Shade to be silent. Then her arm overlapped with Luvia's, and Luvia and Luvia grabbed the cards together.

The surprised Shade moved his body back slightly, turned his head, and happened to look into the eyes of little Mia with bright eyes. For a moment, Shade thought the cat could also see the long-haired Luvia, but soon he realized that the cat had finished its own food and was looking forward to another feeding.

"The long-haired Luvia must have met Miss Belindel in the past life. At that time, Luvia was not as 'gentle' as she is now. What story will happen with the witch who looks down on the Prophet's Association? "

"Okay, there are results."

Luvia opened her eyes, and the shadow behind her had disappeared. She showed Shade three cards in her hand:

"The future fortune——

Negative: There will be a potentially fatal crisis; Neutral: Unexpected changes may occur within the family; Positive: The love fortune is very good, and you will meet the person you like recently. "

"this"

"I'm not making fun of you. You see, this is the result of the divination cards."

She smiled and showed Shade the card that read "Little angel with wings holding up a heart", which was the "love" in the divination cards.
