Whispering Verse

"What? Blood Sorrow?"

When Shade returned to Belindle Manor that evening, he happened to meet the witch returning from the city hall. Because he was still unsure, Shade did not mention that John Flynn claimed to be the Chosen One, but only mentioned the holy sword of the vampire, but this still shocked the countess:

"First, you are looking for the [Hope Diamond], then I have already obtained the [Unique Existence], and the [Dice Story Collection] when we met, and now there is another sage-level sword, Moon Bay. When did so many high-level relics appear?"

"I can't answer this question, but since it is determined that the chosen one this time may use these holy swords to pull out the weapons left by the ancient gods, we have to investigate. I will still do this, but I hope you can help with divination."

"Of course it's possible, but please don't have too much hope. Even I can't easily divine a sage-level relic. It's basically impossible."

So before dinner, Miss Belindel performed a divination using a formal divination ritual in the basement, and it was as ineffective as she expected. This is already considered to be very powerful for her, after all, she has not suffered any backlash from the divination relics.

Of course, although the divination relics were not harvested, at least she had determined the location of the vampire monster's recent hiding place based on the remains of the vampire monster provided by Shade.

Because the divination was very accurate, Shade had the idea of ​​having long nights and many dreams, so he went home, fed the cat, and went to the Seer Association to invite Luvia to meet at home in the evening. It's a fun sewer adventure.

In short, they went from the urban sewage pipes on the seaside to the underground of Yuewan, and followed the long-abandoned ancient sewers to find the former lair of the vampire monster.

There weren't many valuable things in the lair, only three female corpses that had died after being sucked of blood. It seemed that the number of victims counted by the church was actually a little smaller.

After that, Shade used the metal divination card and Luvia's compass to successfully discover the dark room buried further down the vampire monster's lair.

Similar to the darkroom in the cave of the ancient tree in Whispering Hills, this darkroom is also protected by some strange power. When the maids used magic to dig out the passage to the dark room, cockroaches, maggots, ants, mosquitoes and unknown bugs spurted out from the ground. Shade quickly took two steps back. This scene reminded him of himself. The experience of the time key adventure in [Worm Cave].

The shells of those bugs are quite hard, and most of them are harder than steel. Moreover, after emerging from the ground, they did not flee in all directions. Those with the ability to fly and bounce immediately pounced on people's faces, while those without the ability to fly and bounce quickly climbed onto people's shoes and tried to climb up.

"It's so disgusting!"

The witch took Shade's arm and complained. First she raised her foot and stepped on the ground, using repulsion to fly away the small bugs. Then she called on everyone to work together to call for flames. It took 20 minutes to burn these bugs in the sewer pipe with poor ventilation. All the insects were burned. After making sure that the darkroom was no longer spraying bugs, Shade didn't really want to recall the smell of the air at the scene.

He only remembered that not only himself, but Miss Belindel and the maids also had dark faces. Even though everyone can hold their breath, just touching the air at that time will make people feel uncomfortable all over.

Of course, after spending such a big "price", there will naturally be gains. After Miss Belindel used the basic spell "Bubble Charm" to summon bubbles to cover everyone's heads, everyone began to explore the darkroom.

The area of ​​the darkroom located further down the nest was not large. After cleaning out the insect nest and the female insect that had not climbed out of the hole just now, they found more than a dozen pieces of ancient documents related to the Black family that were in varying degrees of fragmentation. Judging from the content of the literature, there were also ring warlocks in the Black family at the beginning of the Sixth Era. Of course, these are not the key. The key is that in the middle of the darkroom floor, there is a black dragon scale that looks like it can emit a deep light in the dark.

The rotation of the compass needle and the vibration of the divination cards all originate from this black dragon scale. Miss Matilda wanted to take it out, but was caught off guard and was almost knocked away by the force of the repulsion. Even when the great witch of fate stretched out her hand, she felt a strange repulsive force that prevented her from touching the scale.

The frown on his eyebrows made the fat-red birthmark tremble slightly:

"This didn't happen with the golden dragon scales last time. Do you have to be a descendant of the Black family to have access to it?"

"Please let me come."

Shade said, using Fiona's gloves to grab the scales, and then smoothly pinched it out of the depression in the ground. And once it leaves the groove on the ground, the scales lose their strange repulsive force to repel other people.

The dragon scales trembled in Shade's hand, and the strange and deep black light gradually converged. The strong miraculous element was almost identical to the golden dragon scale, so Shade and the Witch knew what it was.

(Little Mia is running.)

"Louvia, you can't imagine how fast Miss Belindel and the maids drove the carriage after we came out of the sewer in order to return to the manor to take a bath as soon as possible."

At half past eight in the evening, Shade wiped the water from his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. The voice of Luvia, who was washing fruits, came from the kitchen:

"Actually, little Mia doesn't want to get close to you after you come back, which is enough to show how terrible the smell is."

As she said that, she came to the living room carrying a fruit bowl filled with apples. He looked up and down at Shade who had just taken a shower, and then nodded with satisfaction:

"The black dragon scales belong to the Black family?"

"Yes, judging from those stone tablets, the Ring Warlock who once appeared in the Black family believed that placing this scale in the family would not be beneficial to the descendants of ordinary people. He had studied the scale and found that the power of the scale itself was enough to make ordinary people The human body and soul undergo mutations, but they also subtly strengthen those creatures that already have power. The ancient trees in Whispering Hills, the souls in the trees, the female werewolf, the black cat in the small waterway, and the vampire monster are all affected by The radiation of scale power.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Black family sealed the scales and left a message in the family that only ring wizards could understand. But I don’t know whether it was because the message was lost or because there has never been a Ring Warlock in the Black family for more than a thousand years. In short, the scales have always been in the sewer. "

Shade bent down and picked up little Mia. The cat, who liked the smell of Shade's bath, immediately rubbed its head against Shade's shoulder. And realizing that Shade's body temperature had become higher after taking a bath, the fluffy cat seemed even happier.

"Also, the reminder the black cat gave me before leaving was correct. The location of the darkroom is 200 meters diagonally below where the black cat's body is."

"That cat."

Luvia recalled the little story told by Shade and sighed softly. She originally wanted to say that she seemed to be divined by someone today, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was just a trivial matter:

"It's still unclear what the dragon scales of the seven major families are used for. If you can collect them, try your best to collect them. [Blood Sorrow] is more important. I very much doubt that the holder of the sword now is the chosen one. One of the candidates."

"What about John Flynn?"

Shade bent down and took an apple:

"I can't be sure whether what he said is true, but at least the [Wind King's Sword] is true."

"There is a high probability that he is indeed one of the candidates, but I still need to go and see it in person. But according to your current description, this person's personality and method of doing things are much more normal than the previous candidates."

The girl with purple eyes said, and asked another person:

"What's going on with Miss Elisa? She hasn't shown up today, has she?"

"I don't know why. Just wait patiently, she will appear sooner or later."

He took another bite of the apple, tilted his head and looked at the gas lamp on the wall of his house, and then suddenly asked:

"Tomorrow is the King's birthday. It's a national holiday in Delarion. Is it a holiday for the Prophets Association?"

"Of course it's a holiday. The association is opposite Yodel Palace. Even if we want to go to work, the president can't let the association open for fear of the king's face."

Luvia asked with a smile:

"What, do you want to ask me out on a date tomorrow? That's not possible. You have to concentrate on preparing for the banquet in the evening. After all, it is Dorothy and Lesia's 'big day' again."

"Oh, Luvia~"

Shade held her hand and looked into those smiling purple eyes:

"What I want to say is, I asked Lesia to prepare an invitation letter for you. How about you attending the banquet at Yodel Palace tomorrow night? Lesia, Carina and Dorothy are all there. If it's just you, If not, I would feel this is very strange. And we can find time to talk with everyone about the current situation in Moon Bay. It is necessary to let them know the news about the appearance of [Wind King's Sword] and [Blood Sorrow]."

"Do Dorothy and Lesia know what you plan to talk about tomorrow night?"

She asked with a smile, then nodded slightly:

"Then I will prepare the dress during the day tomorrow and then go do my hair. But tomorrow night is your and Dorothy's time, so I will not accompany you as your female companion, let Princess Agelina Give me an invitation letter, she used to go to the Oracle Association to play divination games, and she was familiar with me."

Her beautiful purple eyes looked at Shade, and she knew what Shade meant:

"Don't invite me just because they are here and I am not. I won't care about such a small thing. Shade, I can always feel your feelings for me, so you don't have to make this balance."

Shade originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he kissed her directly. Luvia smiled and closed her eyes to receive his kiss, and then at least Shade remembered to turn off the lights in the living room and close the curtains.
