Whispering Verse

Shade nodded to express his understanding and did not ask any more questions. Then Mr. Bernhardt asked Captain Rudolph some other things, including [Blood Sorrow]. Captain Rudolph told everything he knew, as if chatting. seems to have answered almost all the questions.

Of course, he didn’t know what happened to [Blood Sorrow] locally:

"Perhaps in your opinion, the local compatriots seem very bold and dare to do anything. But in fact, compared with the humans in this city, we have only adapted to the trend.

The wealth in the City of Wealth will not be accumulated so much due to hard work. Since humans can do things boldly, naturally the same people living here can too. After all, this is the age of humans, and vampires can only follow the trend. "

The captain ended with these words, and both Schade and Herr Bernhardt understood what he meant.

When Mr. Bernhardt signaled that he had asked all the questions and wanted to express his gratitude, the sturdy vampire laughed instead:

"Two gentlemen, since I have helped you so much, how about you help me too?"

"What can I help you with?"

Mr. Bernhardt asked, while Shade seemed to be aware of it and looked towards the stairs leading to the current underground floor.

"Besides you, there is also a group of very troublesome people who want to visit me. Please help me stop them. If the same race can still be trusted, those humans related to the New World are too dangerous."

As he spoke, he raised his head to signal Bernhardt to look back:

"Look, they happened to be here."

So Mr. Bernhardt and Shade saw John Flynn, the owner of the "Wind King's Sword" of the [New World Mutual Aid Association], walking down the stairs with his hammer-wielding companion.

Captain Rudolf stood up from across the table:

"You seem to know each other. The expressions they show are really interesting. I'll leave it to you. It seems that you can have some common topics. In short, don't involve me in the troubles in Yuewan. I don't want to get involved in these troubles. If Whirlpool needs help, you can come to me next time. Next time, instead of arm wrestling, let’s play cards.”

The last half of the sentence was addressed to Shade. After saying that, he called his men to leave together. When he passed by young John Flynn, he patted him on the shoulder, but the latter made no attempt to stop him.

The departure of a large group of people did not change the atmosphere in the tavern much. When the blond young man and the powerful-looking middle-aged man sat across from each other, Shade sighed and said:

"I didn't expect to meet you like this. Speaking of which, there are four of you and your companions. You use a sword, and the one next to you uses a hammer. Your female companion seems to be a master of conjuration. Last time in Spider The guy I met at the hotel looked more like a priest

Well, yes, a typical adventurer team, and a team of adventurers that broke into a strange city. This usually means that a legendary story is about to begin. "

John Flynn shook his head and waited until the waiter who came with the menu left before saying:

"We didn't expect to meet you here, and you also met with the eccentric captain in advance. He has always been wary of us, and this meeting itself was obtained with great difficulty."

"It seems that you have wasted this opportunity, but there is no need to regret it. He doesn't know anything. He is a slippery man who just wants to get out of trouble. He knows nothing about [Blood Sorrow]."

Mr. Bernhardt also said that the two people across the table did not doubt his words, but they both looked a little depressed:

"Although I thought things here would be complicated before coming to Moon Bay, things are obviously beyond our expectations. Do we want to exchange information like last time?"

Mr. Bernhardt looked at Shade, who nodded slightly:

"Of course, what do you want to know? What can you give?"

The waiter brought a wine glass and a plate of fried green beans on a tray. After he left, the bearded middle-aged man said in a low voice:

"We want to know everything about what happened to Belindle Big Ben yesterday morning. The church has revealed that it seems to be related to an ancient being, but we are more concerned about the light at that time. As for what we can give, it mainly depends on What do you want to know now?"

"We do know some inside information about that matter, but not much. As for us, do we want to know about other holy swords?"

"No."

"News on the other chosen ones?"

"nor."

"Then what do you know? My news carries weight."

Shade asked, John Flynn thought for a moment while holding the wine glass:

"Is the news about [Light Worshipers Training Group] okay? This news should be important enough. Of course, if you suffer a loss after exchanging information, I can compensate you."

So both sides wrote down information on the slips of paper just like last time.

The two people across the table frowned at the information that "the Sword of Light did appear, but the one who drew the sword was not human, and using the Sword of Light seemed to consume a lot of energy."

What Shade and Mr. Bernhardt saw was——

[The Thirteenth Ring Warlock of the Light Worshiper Training Society - Light Chaser is in Moon Bay. We have witnessed him appearing outside the city and studying local elven legends. 】

"Although the news of the Thirteenth Ring Road is indeed important, it is not valuable enough compared to ours."

Mr. Bernhardt said.

"But your information only confirms the conjecture."

The man with a sullen voice answered, but was stopped by John Flynn and continued:

"They are right. It is true that our information is not valuable enough. Since it is a fair deal, I will definitely not let you suffer, so I will attach another piece of information."

He quickly wrote two more lines, this time the content was——

[Eternal Light, a non-governmental organization operating in Yuewan City, has evidence that it has received funding from the Light Worshipers Training Association. But the former is not a subsidiary of the latter, nor is it established by the latter. 】

"Um?"

Mr. Shade and Mr. Bernhardt both frowned:

"But according to our investigation, the frequent headless murders in the local area are actually caused by the Light Worshipers Training Association using specific light. Moreover, most of the dead are related to the eternal light, and most of them want to expose the eternal light. people."

"Yes, the [Light Worshipers Seminar] did provide a lot of help to [Eternal Light]. But it is not because the two are one, but because the [Light Worshipers Seminar] wants to penetrate and master [Eternal Light] Light], but it has not yet succeeded.”

John Flynn nodded:

“This is also information we obtained from other sources.

[Eternal Light] was really established by ordinary people who wanted to resist aristocratic rule and suffered injustice. There were no ring warlocks behind them at the beginning, and only later did people join them. Now he is just favored by the [Light Worshipers Training Association], and the two parties are in a relationship of mutual use. As for the more specific details, this is not something we can know. "

This young man who came all the way from the New World valued this fair information trading model. Although the dock workers were about to get off work, the place would soon be overcrowded and no longer suitable for such private conversations. He talked more with Shade and Mr. Bernhardt in detail, but before the two parties parted, John Flynn wanted to agree with the two on the time and location of their next meeting:

"Perhaps we can continue this kind of intelligence transaction. In this city full of desires, there are not many people like you who are willing to sit down and talk about things, and who are also very capable."

But this proposal was unanimously rejected by Mr. Shade and Mr. Bernhardt. They did not want to have deeper interactions with these visitors from the New World for the time being.

At least before Luvia arrived in this city, Shade wasn't very interested in this guy who didn't look like the first candidate.

Shortly after leaving the Golden Lion Tavern, Shade also said goodbye to Mr. Bernhardt, and the two would meet again tomorrow morning. Then Shade did not go home immediately, but took a carriage to the vicinity of Margaret Manor, and then turned into a silver cat and got into the heavily guarded Princess Manor.

After he sensed the location of the witch with the badge hidden in his hair, he found the study on the third floor of the manor before transforming back into his original form.

The two maids at the door were both followers of the witch. When they saw a cat coming out of nowhere, one of them even wanted to bend down and touch it. But when they saw the silver cat turned into Shade again, they were surprised. When Shade made a gesture of silence again, they smiled and stopped talking.

Shade stepped forward and knocked on the door. After hearing Margaret asking "what happened", he took the initiative to open the door and walked in. Before the door was closed, the maids heard the princess's voice of surprise.

"Why did you remember to come here?"

In addition to Margaret and Miss Sylvia, there are three maids in the study who help with paperwork. Two were real maids who were deeply trusted by Margaret, and one was a follower of the witch who was good at this kind of paperwork, but they left the room with a self-conscious smile.

Miss Sylvia gave Shade a generous hug, and then asked Shade to sit down on the sofa.

"I thought that after you arrived at Yuewan, although you had met me, I hadn't paid a private visit yet, so I came over to take a look. Did I bother you?"

"of course not."

Margaret also stood up from behind the desk and stretched out unladylikely in front of Shade. Seeing Shade looking at her, she also smiled at Shade:

"In the morning, Gray Gloves sent some confidential documents from Moon Bay. Teacher Sylvia and I looked at them all afternoon. We even missed the afternoon tea time. Sure enough, we can't rest easily after leaving Willendale. "

Now that the princess of Sixth Ring saw that the teacher didn't mind, she also hugged Shade. After the three of them sat down on the sofa, the maids outside the door knocked on the door at the right time and brought tea and snacks.

PS: Three more updates tomorrow.
