Whispering Verse

"Bad soothsayer."

Shade was shocked by Miss Belindel's comment. He looked around instinctively, and then felt that he was probably frightened by Miss Adele Isabella's attitude. Even if the long-haired Luvia was in the He has plotted against everyone in his time, and now it is impossible for him to act alone without Luvia:

"That fortune teller is actually very powerful. I will introduce you to him if I have the opportunity in the future."

He said vaguely, and had an intuition that once Luvia saw Miss Belindel, she would definitely have a crushing oppression on her. This is not a guess, it is a conclusion he came to based on his understanding of the long-haired Luvia's character and Luvia's behavior.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

The witch didn't know what she was going to face.

"Without talking about this, let's get back to the topic. Therefore, the currently known conditions for the chosen ones of light can be simply summarized as: possessing the power of two or more dragons."

He concluded, before adding;

"Since the [Dragon Feast Cult] who has mastered the other fragments is also in Yuewan, we can now be 100% sure that the chosen one of light will definitely appear in Yuewan."

"Is such that."

The great witch of fate did not continue to pester the fortune teller. She just felt that Shade's expression just now was quite interesting.

"Then what are those dragon scales?"

Shade asked again, and the witch said lightly:

"The ancient god - the scales of the Dragon of Light."

"Huh?"

Shade looked at her in surprise:

"Didn't you just say..."

"I didn't say that these were not the scales of the ancient god, but you shouldn't be so surprised. Although it has a great name, these scales are actually just a little bit more magical. These are probably not the scales of the ancient god's body, but the scales of the god's descending possession. Judging from family records, the ancestors of the seven glorious families of Moon Bay encountered a giant dragon together, and this scale may be the harvest of the ancestors. Now, there are only two functions left."

She raised her right index finger:

"First, try to integrate these scales with the human body. There is a high probability that anyone can have the blood of a golden dragon. In other words, there is a high probability that the user will become a dragon-born ring warlock. This is something that goes back to the beginning. The power of the dragon is very useful to me, who inherited the bloodline of Belindel, and to those dragon-born ring warlocks who have the bloodline of the golden dragon. The ancestors left this behind, it seems that they know about the ceremony of the chosen one. Of course, I don't plan to use this, I'm very happy with myself."

Then he raised his right middle finger:

"Second, this is the key to open the space left by the ancient god - [Holy White Auditorium]. According to the parliament's records, the space left by the ancient god of light is related to the ancient gods."

"[Holy White Auditorium]?"

Because there are already five doors at home: [Space Labyrinth] [Dark Dungeon] [Soul Cemetery] [Secret Keeper's Hall] [Earth Furnace], [Time Corridor] [Silver Moon Library] [Inquisitor's Court] Shade also knows how to enter, so he is extremely concerned about such special spaces.

"To open this kind of special space, you need spiritual runes, artifacts and corresponding spells. Are the artifacts this time ancient dragon scales?"

He was thinking in his mind, and the witch nodded:

"I don't know if Vanessa has told you that although the legendary thirteen ancient gods have passed away, they have all left their own unique spaces. [Witch Council] is one of them. Recently, it is rumored that Megan and The [Space Maze] discovered by Sister Audrey on Green Island is one of them, and the [Creation Delivery Room] found by the [Blood Spirit School] in the New World is also a similar space."

She then asked the blonde maid on the side to bring the red box. In the box was the ancient golden dragon scale:

"You seem very interested in this? Don't you have the power of the red dragon? If you use this, you will meet the basic conditions for being chosen. I don't even need divination to guess that you are definitely suitable. My intuition about the dragon’s power is very accurate.”

As he spoke, he winked at Sha De, but Sha De refused:

"But why should I meet the conditions for being chosen? I'm not interested in that either."

He just doesn't want to waste the power in it. If he stays and waits until the real candidate or the later pick appears, he might be able to gain some advantage through this.

The witch then thought for a while:

"Then even if it's not to meet the conditions for being chosen, it can also give you new powers. Why not give it a try?"

"No, no, I am also very satisfied with my current situation."

Shade tactfully declined. He had never thought about changing his race. Besides, he doesn’t think that the power of the golden dragon is very suitable for him:

"Let's keep these scales for now. It's not yet certain whether the content of the Chosen Ceremony is related to dragon scales. But judging from the current situation, it is almost inevitable that something big will happen in Yuewan City. I don't know about Bernani. When will Miss Si and Sirius come to Moon Bay? We haven’t seen each other for almost a month.”

"You miss them?"

The blonde countess asked deliberately, but did not give Shade a chance to answer:

"Don't forget to go to the Senator's Club tomorrow night for a card game. Do you need me to prepare formal attire for you? I rarely participate in such social activities with men, so you have to cooperate."

Her original intention was to ask Shade about his figure and prepare a set of clothes for him, but she didn't expect Shade to nod directly:

"I have formal wear. Lots of formal wear."

He took Miss Belindel's mention of this matter as a way to see off a guest, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye:

"Then we'll see you tomorrow night."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I haven't told you about the progress of my investigation into the [Light Worshipers Training Association]. If they dare to hurt me, I will definitely take revenge."

She asked Shade to sit down again, holding her face and looking at the man who felt embarrassed because he had misunderstood. She felt that such a night was really interesting.

When Shade returned home, it was already half past seven in the evening. As for Miss Belindel letting him back, it was naturally because the meeting of the Witch Council was about to begin.

And when Shade appeared from the living room on the first floor, he immediately realized that there was someone else at home. Going upstairs, I saw the maids cleaning, making tea and preparing supper in a warm home illuminated by gas lights. The cat that had just come downstairs to greet Shade happily jumped from his arms to the dining table, looking very happy. Looking forward to it.

"Good evening, Tifa."

Shade smiled and said:

"When did you arrive? Where is Miss Carina?"

"Went to the Parliament for a meeting. We came here an hour ago. The lady wanted to invite you to dinner."

The tall maid said, winking at Shade:

"The lady is a little angry, but please don't worry, I'm not angry with you."

Standing on tiptoes, she kissed the corner of Shade's lips. The other maids just pretended not to notice.

Just as Tifa said, at 9:30 in the evening, when the duchess returned from the parliament and saw Shad for the first time, she reached out and hugged him and complained:

"Belindl is really too much. Forget it during the day, how can I keep you for dinner at night?"

"How do you know I was left by her and not for other reasons?"

Shade asked curiously, hugging the lady in his arms and kissing her forehead. The duchess, who had just shown an angry expression, immediately smiled again:

"If it were anything else, you would definitely go home and feed the cat first. Can I still understand you? Even if you don't eat, you will not forget about the cat."

"It's my fault this time. Haven't you eaten dinner yet? Tifa and the others are already ready. Let's eat together after washing our hands."

"Meow!"

The cat has been waiting for a long time.

"Will you eat with me?"

Looking at him with golden eyes, Shade somehow thought of Miss Belindel's eyes a few hours ago.

"certainly."

Although two dinners have already been eaten, this third meal cannot be avoided under any circumstances.

Miss Carina's mood suddenly became better. When she sat down at the dining table, she also told Shade the content of the meeting just now. Of course, she did not forget to convey Shade's request for help to Miss Benanis. But it was so late today, and even if Sirius got the news from Miss Benanis, he would still have time to think and prepare a solution, so Shade wouldn't know the result until at least tomorrow.

As for the beautiful duchess, since she is here tonight, she naturally has no intention of returning to the manor outside the city. After all, the road at night is dangerous, so she can only ask the kind knight to take them in for a night. The Shade house is just big enough for the maids to sleep downstairs, but the Duke cannot rest with the maids, so she is forced to share the same bedroom with the generous and enthusiastic owner of the house:

"Listen to Lecia, your cat can do backflips?"

She said with a smile while wearing a nightgown. Between the nightgown and slippers was a very textured black silk fabric.

Of course, little Mia didn't perform a backflip after that. It had already been taken downstairs by Tifa.

(Iluna is praying.)

Now that he is ready to use the Time Key, Shade will naturally not delay again. Just the idea of ​​unlocking the key early on Friday morning was hindered by the red-haired lady in his arms.

As usual, the Duchess was completely unaccustomed to getting up at half past six. Even if Shade just got up on his own and thought about waking her up again during breakfast at 7:30, the witch still reached out and pulled her back into the quilt:

"Let's sleep a little longer."

She said with her eyes closed, lying in Shade's arms and grabbing his arm, refusing to let go. Shade wasn't even sure if she was awake yet. The maids who had gotten up early and were preparing breakfast outside the door could naturally hear the conversation in the room, and they all laughed.

So when Shade walked out of the bedroom and entered the study, starting to pack the items he was going to take with him to the past, it was already seven in the morning. Tifa led the maids to freshen up the duchess in the bedroom. Little Mia stood on the dining table and looked at the table full of food, meowing for Shade to sit down quickly.

Domestic cats are very polite. No matter how anxious they are, they will never touch the food until Shade sits down.
