Whispering Verse

On the other side, after Shade and Miss Belindel arrived at the witch's alchemy workshop in the basement, Shade saw the black dragon scales placed together with the golden dragon scales temporarily taken out of the divination cards.

"Grey Eagle's notebook, I have put it in the parliament. Megan and Audrey will help after seeing it. I lied that it was mine. When they see it, they can decipher the code in a few minutes by casting the spell. This you do not need to worry."

Miss Belindel said, walked to the table and fiddled with it a little. When the two dragon scales were placed at a relatively suitable distance and at a relatively suitable angle, a visible resonance was produced between the two.

The vibrating scales float into the air together, and golden and black light streams continue to communicate between them. And in the light curtain composed of those light streams, Shade actually saw some incomplete runes. Because the runes were so badly damaged, he looked at them for a while before he could identify them:

"Dragon language runes are really ancient."

"Can you translate it?"

The Countess also looked up, but Shade shook her head regretfully:

"It's so incomplete that I can hardly tell that these are dragon language runes. Although I know all the characters, it's just like I can't decipher the cipher text, and I can't complete the missing runes."

"What's very amazing is that I don't need divination to know that you are definitely not lying when you say you can recognize all characters."

The beautiful Countess said, hugging Shade from behind. Shade smiled, then reached out to touch the light curtain, feeling the mutually reinforcing miraculous elements in it:

"It seems that the scales inherited by your seven families can resonate to reveal these runes. We only have two pieces now, so we can't see clearly. So we need to collect seven pieces to get the complete rune information? Or five After six pieces, you should be able to understand some of the content.”

"I think so."

The witch raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and leaned against the table, put one hand on the table and looked at Shade:

"These scales alone can allow the ring warlock to obtain the dragon power related to it. Therefore, I even suspect that the information after the seven dragon scales are gathered together is the information about that sword."

This possibility does exist, but it is too early to say this now.

"The golden dragon scale belongs to Belindle, and the black dragon scale should belong to the Black family according to the documents we obtained in the secret room in the sewer. So is there any news about the other five dragon scales?"

He asked again, and the countess shook her head regretfully:

"Not yet, we are still investigating. However, I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news for the seven major families. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"good news."

"Last week, at the banquet where the seven major families gathered, everyone agreed to share some of the family's confidential documents. Now the work is progressing well. I have obtained part of the text, but I am still analyzing it."

"Where's the bad news?"

"The Church also suspects that we are secretly hiding information about the Chosen One and the Dragon. So the Holy See of the Dawn Church sent a letter to Willendale, His Majesty the King of Willendale."

She re-pronounced the honorific so it wasn't actually respectful.

"His Majesty the King also sent a letter to Yuewan City, asking us to accept the church sending people to visit our respective ancestral homes. If this official document is brought to Yuewan by Princess Margaret, then let the princess go to the church Through mediation among us, we can probably execute it very well. But Dawn Church obviously doesn’t want to waste time, so the official letter from Willondale was sent to the city council by messenger this morning.”

Shade frowned:

"The church wants to inspect this house? What about your laboratory? Do Emilia and little Liana also have to leave temporarily?"

"Don't be in a hurry. I discussed it with old Eddington and old Hawthorne and tried to delay it as far as possible. After Princess Margaret visits Moon Bay, since the church wants to avoid the royal family and directly contact us, then we Just leave this problem to the princess to solve."

She raised her lips and smiled;

"It's best that you don't feel sorry for that His Highness."

"What are you talking about?"

The witch smiled and did not answer, but opened her arms to Shade. Shade then stepped forward, let the beautiful blonde woman hug him, and gave him a passionate kiss.

They did not leave the manor that afternoon, but were in the study together reading the documents that the witch had just obtained, and in front of the Moon Bay city map, they analyzed and marked the locations of current anomalies.

Emilia was also in the study this afternoon, but she kept obediently sitting on the sofa and reading the novel in her hand. As for the pair of fabrics, of course she took them off and carefully kept them in her suitcase. The elf girl had already thought about how to amaze her friends when she returned.

The little unicorn lay at Emilia's feet. Because the sun in Yuewan City was obscured by black fog, little Mia, who was taking a nap, was not on the window sill, but lying on the desk, which was the closest place to Xia. A place of virtue.

While they were sitting around the coffee table having afternoon tea together, Bella Belindel looked at the handsome man next to her who was trying to make black tea with biscuits and then fed the cat, and looked at the curious little boy who popped his head out from under the coffee table with his eyes wide open. The horned beast looked at the elf girl who narrowed her eyes because she had eaten the delicious dessert, looked at the cute cat eager to try the biscuits, and looked at his apprentice standing near the coffee table, bending down to put down the dinner plate. She actually On this ordinary Thursday afternoon, I felt the long-lost happiness in life:

"Husband, wife, children, maid, two pets."

She pursed her lips and looked at this scene, then lowered her eyes, feeling a little sad because she would never get the "happiness" she thought of at the moment.

"It doesn't look like the black tea soaked biscuits are very tasty."

Seeing that the cat just sniffed it and then avoided it, Shade came to a conclusion, and in line with the principle of not wasting, he ate the cream sandwich biscuit himself. Seeing Miss Belindel lowering her head and saying nothing, he picked up another biscuit and waved it in front of her:

"The manor maid's craftsmanship is really good, why don't you eat it?"

The witch raised her head and looked at him:

"Can you feed me?"

Miss Matilda smiled, Emilia blinked at the bold lady, and Shade also smiled:

"certainly."

He brought the cookie close to the witch's red lips, and the latter opened her mouth slightly and bit off a small piece. Just as she was about to chew, seeing everyone looking at her, she turned her head shyly and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Maybe this is happiness too."

She whispered to herself, moved her covered mouth a few times, and then swallowed the biscuit:

"Matilda, please sit down and eat with us."

When she said this, the witch apprentice was a little surprised, but she nodded with a smile while holding the dinner plate:

"Yes, miss."

She sat next to Emilia and placed her feet in black leather shoes next to the little unicorn's tail.

The leisurely tea time in the afternoon may be just an unimportant memory in life for Shade, Emilia and even Miss Matilda. But Bella Belindel decided to remember this moment forever, this was her little happiness.

Today is Thursday, at 7:30 in the evening, Tifa's train is about to leave, and Shade must go to see them off. Therefore, he did not eat at Belindle Manor that evening, but before saying goodbye, the witch made a special trip to the parliament, and then happily returned the Grey-headed Eagle's notebook and a thick stack of letter paper to Xia German:

"Sister Meghan seemed to have gone to Parliament in the afternoon. Look, it has been translated."

Shade, who was holding the cat, looked through it in surprise. The notebook was still a notebook, and the pile of letters contained translated text.

"It's been such a big help."

Shade said, and the countess hugged him, and then she and Emilia waved goodbye to him.

It was already half past five when I got home. The place where Shade appeared was the corner of the stairs between the first and second floors. At this time, the house was extremely lively.

The maids on the second floor are preparing dinner. Dorothy is sitting on the sofa, holding Agelina's hand and explaining the precautions for going out. Shade guessed that it should be Lesia; Miss Carina is sitting on the sofa. Luvia was talking to her at the restaurant table covered with tablecloth, but Shade remembered that his table had no tablecloth.

Although in the past, Miss Carina or Lesia would bring personal maids with them when they stayed at Shade's house for the night, but this time there were an especially large number of maids at home. In other words, since the foreigner has owned this house, he cannot remember when there were so many people in his home.

"Tifa led the team to Moon Bay this time, and I asked her to take 10 people with her. The seven high-level ones and the three mid-level ones are all good at combat, potions, and alchemy."

Seeing Shade appear from the door, the ladies at home stood up to greet him. Miss Carina also introduced the situation to him:

"The number is indeed not large, but the maids I left in Saladir County also have a team of 25 people who will rush to Moon Bay to join them."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly:

"But in fact, only Tifa is enough to represent me. Tifa is the most outstanding witch apprentice of this generation trained by me. The other apprentices, whether it is Cassandra's mother-in-law Miss Swift or None of Xiwei's nieces can compare to her. She is now at the eighth level. If it weren't for the fact that there is no room for witches, once she becomes a witch, I wouldn't be surprised to reach the twelfth level in a year or two."

The black-haired maid in the kitchen pursed her lips and smiled, but unfortunately the people in the living room couldn't see it.

Shade then nodded:

"This is a rare long separation between you and her, right? Where is Tifa? In the kitchen?"

"She insisted on preparing another dinner for me with her own hands before leaving."

Because Shade's house was relatively close to the train station and his place was large enough, the last dinner before departure was arranged here. Including the head maid, ten maids, Dorothy and Agelina, the girls who were about to go to Moon Bay all came here, and Shade, Luvia and Miss Carina bid them farewell.
