Whispering Verse

"elder sister!"

Agelina raised her head suddenly. She felt that she had mustered up all her courage to dare to say these words:

"You don't understand at all. You have got it, but I have nothing. I have nothing to do with Shade."

"I mean, you want a lot more than that."

In a flat voice, Agelina loosened her clenched fists and lowered her head again.

The girl in front of the window sighed softly:

"You are our sister, how can we stop you? Agelina, we are the closest relatives. On this trip to Moon Bay, you should talk less and do more, and see clearly what you want. .When you come back, answer this question again in front of us: What do you want?"

"I understand, sister."

The seventeen-year-old girl whispered, but she still didn't know what answer she wanted to give. Then she heard footsteps again, and as soon as she raised her head, she was already hugged by the girl with long golden-red hair:

"Be careful in Moon Bay, silly girl, and don't hurt yourself for other people. You don't want to be that mermaid princess, and I don't want to beg the dragon to give you a second chance, even if Mr. Dragon always has great ideas. .Remember, young princess, we do not get a second chance in life."

The gentle hug made the emotions in Agelina's heart become more and more complicated. She also reached out and hugged her sister:

"Yes, I understand."

"Take this, this is an alchemical item we created with special power."

After letting go of Agelina, Lesia took out a silver pendant with the Cavendish family crest from inside her skirt. After signaling Agelina to lower her head, she hung it on Agelina's chest. On the neck:

"The power of space, and the blood connection between you and me, we took advantage of this to make it. As long as you activate the pendant with your own spirit, no matter where you are in the material world, I can immediately sense your existence and direction. "

The girl who was a head taller than Agelina bent down, put her hands on Agelina's shoulders, and looked at her with her emerald eyes at the same height:

"You must be careful without me by your side. But as long as you need the help of my sister, I will definitely come to your side."

"elder sister!"

Agelina finally couldn't help but hugged Lesia's neck, and then sobbed softly. Lesia patted her back gently, and then hugged her gently:

"Be careful when traveling alone."

The sun shone on the backs of Lesia and Dorothy, as well as Agelina's face. The seventeen-year-old princess is about to embark on a journey alone to find what her heart longs for. She would have to walk alone for the rest of the journey, but Lesia believed in her sister, just as she had always believed in herself.

(Little Mia is running.)

"Good morning, Emilia."

It's raining and snowing in Yuewan City today. Of course, it's generally rainy. On bad days, the countess also had to go out to deal with her own affairs, so the witch and most of the maids were away. Only Emilia was reading in her room in the manor.

The little unicorn lay at her feet, seemingly not bored by being "confined" here. When Shade knocked on the door and entered, he happened to see Emilia hastily push the book she just read to the bottom of the pile on the desk.

Seeing Shade's probing gaze, the pointed-eared elf girl immediately changed the topic:

"Good morning, Mr. Watson. Did you hear that there was another incident in the city yesterday? Miss Belinder was talking about it when she had breakfast with us this morning. A small area of ​​Baker Street in the east of the city appeared. Due to the 'Crazy Earth' phenomenon, sludge poured out from the ground of two connected houses on that street. As long as a living person is contaminated with the sludge, within ten minutes the roots will grow under their feet and turn into petrified trees."

"Crazy Land?"

Although Shade knew that after the incident in Randall Valley, the distortion of the earth was only temporarily contained and not disappeared, but it had been so long since spring ended, and this was the first time that he encountered something similar.

Amelia had experienced the first half of the Randall Valley incident, so she also knew how terrifying this phenomenon was:

"At breakfast, Miss Belindel asked me whether the purification ability of unicorns can expel the filth. I said probably not. But I think the local church should have a way to temporarily limit the expansion of that area. , after all, you also said that although the church cannot purify the earth as easily as you can, it does not have the means to limit the crazy earth."

Shade was very interested in this crazy land that appeared in Moon Bay, so he asked little Mia to play with the unicorns. He took Emilia and asked for more details.

"Speaking of which, what were you reading just now?"

He still hadn't forgotten this matter. Emilia's face immediately turned red. She raised her right hand to suppress the book on the desk, not giving Shade a chance to take out the book. Then she panicked in a tone that sounded problematic. explain:

"It was the novel you gave me. I was worried that you thought I was wasting my time every day, so I hid it when you came in."

Shade looked at her suspiciously, but after "her" suggestion, he did not ask further questions, but continued to ask about the crazy land. When Miss Belinder came back at noon, the witch also described more things to him:

"The expanding filth has been restrained, but it has not been purified yet. The Church of Nature and the Church of the Sun plan to join forces to arrange the ceremony, but it will take time. Before I came back just now, I went there to take a look from a distance."

She shook her head violently, trying to expel the memory from her mind:

"It's such a terrifying power. I stood on the roof two streets away and just tested it with my senses, and I almost felt sick and wanted to vomit."

As he said that, he sat at the dining table and glanced at Xade:

"How did you purify such dirty things when you were in Randall Valley?"

After she guessed that Shad was the "God Caller" during the Night of the Dragon, she naturally knew that Shad was deeply involved in the affairs of the Randall Valley.

"I have a magic trick that can purify the earth, specifically to restrain the crazy earth."

"Specially restrained? You have this kind of power, but you didn't even become the chosen one of the earth?"

The witch raised her eyebrows, and Shade said easily:

"Because those guardians deserve this power and responsibility more than me, don't they? I can't compare with that group of great souls who dare to make self-sacrifice."

Although the "Power of the Earth·Healing Spiritual Energy" could easily expel the Crazy Earth, the area where Yuewan City appeared was in a very conspicuous place in the city, and it was not convenient for Shade to take action, so he did not want to help the church.

The anomalies that occurred that day were not just "Crazy Land". After lunch, the countess wanted to talk to Shade about her research on the black dragon scale and the progress of the investigation into the [Light Worshiper Training Society] , but the maid who arrived in a hurry brought new information:

"Miss, there is news from outside the city that something happened to our farm outside the city."

"What could happen to the farm? It's not like the stewards in the country want to tell me that there's a fire in the granary? It's not autumn yet."

"No, it was light. A steward disappeared into the light."

Little Mia stayed with Emilia, and the carriage carried the Witch, Shade, and three maids out of the city. Then they changed horses outside the city and rode to the Belindel family's farm in the northwest of the city.

The farm is adjacent to the "Toxic Swamp" and "Wind Howling Valley" in the north of Moon Bay. Its area is not large. According to Miss Belindell, it is less than one hundred acres. In addition to managing the surrounding fields, the farm also has a cattle farm with more than a hundred cows on the west side. The fresh milk that Amelia drinks at the manor every morning comes from here.

The incident took place not in the main building complex of the farm, but in a pasture surrounded by a wooden fence.

The cautious farm steward, Mr. Knock, led the way on a donkey. The group rode westward along the country road, and then entered the rugged path between farmland. From a distance, they could see the clear blue waves after the rain. That pasture under the sky. The weather in the city was bad, but outside the city it was very sunny.

Large groups of black and white cows roamed leisurely in the pasture, and it didn't seem like anything strange was happening here. The Countess, who was quite skilled in riding horses, dismounted at the gate of the ranch. The steward, Mr. Knock, immediately went to find the ranch owner who was said to be related to the Belinda family.

"The smell of cow dung is really disgusting."

Handing the reins to the maid behind him, Shade said softly, but the countess didn't mind the smell. Instead, she stood at the gate of the ranch and looked around:

"The element traces are wrong, and something happened."

Soon the group arrived at the site of the incident, which was under the shed where the cows in the pasture were eating. There are soft straw, troughs and water pumps placed here. According to the ranch owner——

"Today at about 11:30 noon, a helper named Mick Leon came here to pump water in the sink, and then we heard his scream. By the time we all ran over, Leon had disappeared. , there is only a ball of light left here.”

He shuddered, not afraid of Miss Belindle, but of the lights that still lingered in the shed.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon, one of the brightest hours of the day in summer. There are no dark clouds in the sky outside the city. The visibility here is very good, but everyone can still see the dazzling white light lingering on the right side of the shed.

The helper has disappeared, along with a small half of the water tank and a large bucket of grass. The cut surface of the water tank is extremely smooth, and even Shade cannot easily cut such a cut surface with a sword. The dark shadows left on the ground are the last traces of living people who disappeared into the light.
