Whispering Verse

The long sword that was pulled out was not the [Night Watchman], but the dragon scale sword. When the sword light fell, the black light on the strange ring warlock overflowed like a crow just now, but the next moment it was burst by the sword light like a bubble.

"I thought there was some huge conspiracy involved. After working on it for a long time, you really just got unlucky and fell in love with Emilia."

Shade did not pursue the victory, but led Emilia forward. The ring warlock wearing a clown mask was already vomiting blood and lying on the ground. He watched Shade and the two getting closer and closer, and then a cloud of black mist was released, and he turned and fled into the distance. Shade did not chase him, because not long after, Emilia's two companions, Mr. Rio Emhyr and Miss Matila Dras, came back with the escaped man.

The mask on his face was removed, and Emilia, who was holding Shade's arm, immediately recognized him:

"He was the one who sold me that metal dice on the train!"

"Don't even think about knowing the secrets of the order!"

Even though he was under control, the man was still yelling and cursing everyone present with very vicious slang.

"Are you trying to distract us from your other companion, the one who freed the crows?"

Shade asked, and then heard another set of footsteps. Luvia, Miss Serena Mullis, and two ring warlocks whom Shade didn't know were escorting another man wearing a black cloak and a mask. The ring warlock came over.

Miss Salina Mullis, also a native of St. Byrons, graduated as a sixth grader in 1852 and was assigned to the Tobesk Regional College to manage the business in the region.

Emilia was being targeted by cultists. No matter how much Shade wanted to help her, he would definitely not hide it from the academy again. After receiving the news, the college immediately contacted Miss Mullis. In fact, there are more than just these people in this small forest. In order to ensure that the arrest plan is foolproof, in addition to Shade, Luvia, and Emilia's two teammates, Miss Mullis mobilized her ring warlocks and There are more than ten reliable ring warlocks hired, and they are all on standby around the grove.

After catching the two people in front of them, everyone conducted a carpet-like search around them, but in the end they did not find the third accomplice. Although the two cultists have not yet been questioned about the specific situation, it seems that this incident is really due to Emilia's bad luck.

"Mr. Hamilton, thank you for your hard work tonight. Mr. Rio Emhyr and Miss Matila Deras and I will send these two cultists to the transfer station first. The college will take them away soon. The college needs to determine how they targeted our students. I would also like to trouble you and Miss Anat to temporarily take care of Miss Siam Nord tonight."

After the search was over, Miss Mullis said to Shade. Shade didn't mind this, and it wouldn't be troublesome to let Luvia and Emilia stay at his home tonight. Anyway, his house was big and the bed was very comfortable.

The elf girl still pulled Shade's sleeve and asked Miss Mullis:

"The college will let us end our summer practice early. Are we going back now? We have only been in Tobesk for a week, and the original time was four weeks."

Miss Mullis shook her head:

"Sorry, I am not responsible for this aspect. Please follow the official notice from the college for your specific arrangements. But Miss Siam Nord, please do not leave Mr. Hamilton until the college issues an official notice."

In other words, until the academy decides on the next plan for Emilia and the three of them, the elf girl will have to live in Shade's home. As for choosing Shade over others, it is naturally because although Bill Schneider has the highest level among the five people in the group, due to some unspeakable reasons - that is, except for Shade, the four people in the group may have problems, so he is Shade, who is Miss Danister's student, is the one who reassures the academy the most.

Of course, Dr. Schneider recently left Tobesk temporarily to attend an academic conference in a city not far next door. He will not be back until Friday, so the college does not even need to find a reason to explain why this matter is not arranged for him.

Tonight's action started quickly and ended just as quickly. After saying goodbye to the others, Shade took Luvia and Emilia through the small village outside the city again. After entering the city, they found the carriage and set off in the direction of the Three Cats Hotel.

This time they are going to take away all of Amelia's things in the hotel and move them into Shad's home, but Amelia will not live in Shad's house for too long. There is nothing in St. Byrons. Due to bureaucracy, it takes at most two or three days to arrange the whereabouts of Emilia and the three of them.

Of course, because this cultist attack mainly targeted Emilia, the other two people in the group did not need to move from the Three Cats Hotel. Emilia was the only one staying in Shad's house.

“It was hard to leave the academy”

In the carriage, the blond elf said pitifully. Luvia, who was sitting next to Shade, comforted her and said:

"The college may not necessarily let you leave Tobesk. Maybe they will just give you a few letters to pay attention to your safety and let you continue your mission locally."

Although she said this, even Shade could guess that the academy would most likely not let Emilia and the others stay. Emilia was quite sorry about this, and Shade was also very sorry. After all, he promised Emilia to take her around the city, and seeing that there was not much time left;

"If you stay at my place these days, you don't need to continue your mission. Just treat it as a vacation and have a good rest for a few days. If there is a chance, I will contact Her Highness Agelina Cavendish, who made friends with you last time. Let her take you around the Yodel Palace."

If she heard this news normally, Emilia would be very happy. But now she just lowered her head and said "hmm", and even her pointed ears seemed to be drooping downward. Shade always felt that her appearance was very similar to that of his own cat when it was sad.

"Shadow, Luvia, thank you."

The sensible elf did not forget to thank him for this matter.

"You don't have to be so polite. Didn't you help me a lot in Randall Valley? Besides, we are friends. It's a pity that the unicorn can't just come to Tobesk, otherwise little Mia will be very happy."

At the mention of unicorns, Emilia's mood improved slightly. Although leaving Tobesk meant the end of her vacation, she still felt regretful thinking that she would still have many friends after returning.

The night is not too dark yet, and the Three Cats Hotel has officially entered night mode. There are still many guests on the first floor, and the scantily clad orioles against the wall are also waiting for them. There is no need to check out Emilia's room, she will just take her luggage away tonight. Shade and Luvia wanted to help her go upstairs to pack, but Emilia claimed that she didn’t have much luggage and declined Shade and Luvia’s help, asking Shade and Luvia to wait for her on the first floor. , she came down quickly with her luggage.

Considering that the elf girl also had some private belongings, Shade and Luvia did not insist on helping her. Instead, they ordered two cups of hot tea at the counter and sat down at the table to the left of the bard playing the piano.

The poet, who was good at singing, was playing and singing an ancient legend about a hero and a dragon. The general content was that the dragon kidnapped the princess, and the hero went to rescue her, exchanged himself for the princess, and lived happily with the dragon from then on. The story of being together.

"You look a little regretful. Is it because you couldn't bring the [Night Watcher] out?"

Holding the teacup, Luvia smiled and said to Shade.

"Of course not. How could I bring it with me tonight when I am acting with other people in the academy. However, I originally wanted to demonstrate to you the thaumaturgy I just learned, but Dorothy was unable to come because of something else, and I didn't do it in the end. Opportunity to perform magic, those believers of doom are too weak.”

"I always knew you were great."

The purple-eyed girl squeezed Shade's hand and said jokingly:

"Amelia will probably stay at your house for two or three days. I can't go to your place to spend the night every day. Dorothy is probably the same as today, there will always be something that can't come. So, you and Amelia A night alone.”

"Oh, Luvia, are you so unsure of me?"

Shade's eyes widened, and then his hand was pinched by the girl with purple eyes. She said angrily:

"What are you talking about? I can't have confidence in you? I'm afraid that Amelia will do something irrational. A man and a woman are alone in the house. You have saved her many times and you are so handsome. I know it. You are very attractive."

"Well, you're not making fun of me, are you?"

Luvia smiled, she just needed to give Shade such a reminder. Just like what she said just now, she has great confidence in Shade and believes that Shade will do the right thing.

Holding teacups, the two talked about the Moon Bay again, and how Shade would enter the sewers and track down the laboratory of the [Dragon Feast Order] with Mr. Bernhardt.

They were just talking in a low voice, but the bard's voice completely drowned out the two voices. Just as he was talking, Xia De suddenly raised his head and looked upward:

"Somehow, I always feel that this matter has not passed yet. After all, everything tonight went so smoothly. Besides, there is still doubt about this matter, right? The dead leaf that Emilia obtained in the first place I’m not sure if the bookmark was also given by the cultists. Moreover, didn’t Priest August also say that Emilia’s bad luck was too exaggerated?

We were a little careless in letting Emilia go upstairs alone. When Emilia first asked me for help, she said that she had been having nightmares since she moved in here, but the three relics that have appeared so far, But none of them have the characteristics of giving people continuous nightmares. "

He suddenly said this just because he felt a little uneasy, and Shade believed in his sixth sense very much.

Luvia then took out the fortune-telling cards. This action reminded Shade of the blond witch from Moon Bay. It’s just that Luvia’s divination is obviously more helpful to Shade than Miss Belindel:

"It's a sign of doom. Is this thing really not over? Is there a murderer behind it?"

Her purple eyes were suspicious, but Luvia, who was always cautious, would not let go of any doubts:

"Shad, maybe you will have a chance to show me your new thaumaturgy tonight, but I would rather you just show off your skills in bed tonight. Come on, let's go upstairs and have a look."

PS: In order to prevent anyone from saying that Emilia’s line in this volume is too high, let me tell you in advance that her line will eventually overlap with Yuewan’s line.
