Whispering Verse

When they arrived at Belindel Manor, the atmosphere in the manor was no longer as tense as when Shade left last night, but it had not returned to its former calm.

Something like that happened last night. The countess with the beautiful fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows has gone to the city hall to preside over the work. The matter of appeasement and aftermath will keep the city council busy for a while.

Miss Sylvia is on Margaret's side, urgently preparing the princess's speech in the afternoon. Margaret must express the royal family's position on last night's events. Miss Benanis was rehearsing at the opera house with the girls from the Golden Dawn Opera Company.

Originally, they would officially start performing tomorrow, but now the entire city's artistic performances are suspended. They will participate in the next charity performance to raise funds for the reconstruction of those disaster-stricken neighborhoods, so some of the repertoire will have to be changed.

Miss Swift went to the local Cassandra Auction House to arrange charity auctions in recent weeks, and Miss Matilda was naturally with the Countess.

Even Emilia and Agelina were not there. The elf girl volunteered to help the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe. Agelina was forced by Sylvia because Margaret lacked the manpower to handle urgent business. The lady took him away to help temporarily.

The little princess is of course very capable, but just as Shade and Miss Carina said last week, the key to politics is not ability but relationships. As for Agelina and Margaret, they are very close because of Shade.

And because Miss Aurora's apprentice, Miss Hayley Aurora, was still on her way to Moon Bay, only Tifa, Miss Elise and Miss Aurora were left in the manor at this time.

Of course, the little unicorn was also here. When the maid led Shade upstairs, it ran happily to greet Shade. And when it discovered that little Mia hadn't followed, he didn't know if it was Shade's illusion. He felt that the pure white beast was walking more cheerfully.

Taking the little unicorn to the study room, Tifa, Miss Elize and Miss Aurora are all here. The black-haired maid from the North is leading the maid to reproduce and record last night's situation on the sand table created by Miss Benanis last night. The blue dragon girl and the great witch of light are sitting on the sofa talking.

"Good morning, Shade."

The witch with wavy brown hair said with a smile, and then smiled and waved to the little unicorn. And Shade saw at a glance the secret box that had been opened on the table - the one taken from the creek at the foot of the Vulture Mountain, and the three dragon scales of black, gold and green.

"Is this box opened?"

he asked in surprise.

"Miss Swift opened it this morning. This generation of apprentices of the Dark Witch seems to be very good at this delicate craft. Maybe she also has the skills of a machinist."

Miss Elisa said, and after Shade sat down next to her, she continued:

"I spoke to Miss Sylvie Avora this morning and she now knows who I am."

"Yes, yes, the eldest daughter of the Pettus family on Efate Island, a small island southeast of Kailagli in the Kingdom of Archipelago, turned out to be a girl Shad met in the fifth era."

Miss Aurora shook her head and said, while Shade asked curiously:

"Does this family on such and such an island really exist?"

"certainly."

Miss Elise nodded with a smile in her blue eyes:

"Although I have no intention of running my own force, collecting precious materials for so many years requires money. I have interacted with many forces in the Kingdom of the Islands. The Pettus family was saved from genocide because I rescued them. , so they admire me very much, and they don’t mind if I use their names outside.”

"Or I don't dare to mind."

Miss Aurora also said with a smile, and the blue-eyed girl blinked:

"It shouldn't make any difference."

Shade laughed and reached out to take the brand new dragon scale on the table:

"The Wood family has green dragon scales. Did Miss Belindel make them resonate? Did they produce new dragon language runes?"

"See for yourself."

The blue dragon girl then stretched out her hand and three dragon scales floated into the air together. The golden, green and black light streams continue to communicate between them until they form an illusory light curtain. And within the light curtain, more runes emerged than last time.

There was a swipe sound, and Shade turned around to see Tifa walking to the window and closing the curtains. The darker interior also made those runes clearer. He stood up to look, and Miss Elisa and Miss Aurora did not disturb him.

It took a long time before Xia De sat down again:

"The number of runes is more than last time. Last time, it was completely undecipherable. This time, it is enough to decipher some sporadic rune strings. But the grammar of ancient dragon language is very complicated. It is impossible to decipher the current runes alone. Understand the meaning.”

"You need more dragon scales, right?"

Miss Aurora asked, Shade nodded:

"Miss Belindell's investigation will speed up. The Hawthorne family, the Blue family, the Wright family, and the Eddington family are not sure whether the remaining four dragon scales have been taken by others. Come on, since the Light Chaser is studying the elven ruins, he might already know the secret of the dragon scale."

"When will Luvia come?"

The witch asked again.

"In a day or two, we have just finished the summer exams, and she has some personal matters to attend to in Tobesk."

Shade frowned and looked at the dragon language runes floating in the air. He raised his hand and wiped it gently. As the scales of the golden dragon moved, the three scales lost their resonance and fell off the coffee table together.

Because he had something to do in the afternoon, Xia De could only go around in Yuewan in the morning. Miss Aurora then invited Shade to go to the beach for a walk. She wanted to talk to Shade about their affairs in the New World.

Naturally, Miss Elise will not follow. After all, Belindel Manor still needs someone who can make the final decision. Although Tifa can handle various things, she is still in the middle ring after all, and Miss Aurora admits that there is a high probability that she will not be able to defeat Miss Elese.

"Are you sure Miss Elisa is better than you?"

Standing on the trestle not far from the door of "Princes Trading Partners" and overlooking the sea, Shade looked at the witch beside him in surprise. In his impression, apart from Miss Adele Isabella, the great witch of time, this great witch of "light" is the most powerful great witch of this generation.

No one else who is also in the twelfth level is her opponent. "Witch of the Earth" Vanessa Benanis and "Witch of Knowledge and Wisdom" Megan/Audrey Edwards have just entered this year. The qualifications for level 12 are still relatively low. Although Miss Carina advanced last year, she is still different from Miss Aurora who really advanced on her own.

As for the other twelfth-level witch in the council before Shade appeared, it seemed that she was the witch in the "Moon" seat. Although that lady took the second seat, it was only because she was more senior than Miss Aurora. Listen. Said that the other party was a standard fighting maniac.

"Of course I'm sure. Although 'Glory' is only a ring warlock, you know better than me what she is."

The beautiful golden eyes glanced at Shade. It seemed that Miss Elese and Miss Aurora had communicated deeply enough, and Shade knew the most about the nature of Miss Elese:

"She is a blessed spirit born from the ocean."

After last night's turmoil, the dock area as the main battlefield was not damaged much. Most of the battles took place on the sea, and the dock's infrastructure was not greatly affected. The biggest losses in the port were actually the ships anchored on the sea.

Therefore, after one night, the order at the dock was still the same as before. Ships were unloading and loading as usual, and travelers waiting to go to the New World or other cities were also queuing up to board the ship. But looking at the flag flying on the cruise ship, it should be a ship heading to the North Country.

Beautiful ladies always attract people's attention, so the two of them did not stand on the pier all the time, but walked towards the beach.

There are no clouds above the harbor, and under the blue sky, the boundary between the beach and the tide is not very clear. Shade and Miss Aurora walked on the beach together. Wave after wave wet their shoes, but no one cared about it.

The witch with long wavy brown hair walked slightly in front of Shade with her hands behind her back. Looking at her profile and back, Shade felt that Miss Aurora was actually very girly.

"This adventure that Devlin and I had in the New World was very interesting. Fortunately, we finally found the first flame recorded in the prophet's information. Guess, Shade, in what form did the flame appear? "

She smiled and turned her head slightly to look at Shade. The clear sky and blue sea were her background.

"Having said that, it is definitely not an ordinary storage method. So far, we have obtained two lanterns that store flames. This is the safest storage method. In addition, some complex rituals can also be stored. The original fire is very important for Dangerous to the nuns and everyone but me. Wait a minute."

Shade looked at her:

"Did the flames appear on living creatures this time?"

Sivi Avora looked at him with a smile:

"The nun is right, sometimes your inspiration is too strong. A three-story beast that doesn't know what it is swallowed up the flames, but just like you said, except for the nun who protects the fire and you, That flame is a fatal threat to other creatures.

It was eroded by the first fire and turned into a monster whose whole body was on fire. Devlin called it a 'fire monster'. We spent a month tracking it in the depths of the New World. After the hunt was successful, it took us a long time to find the ruins where it swallowed the first fire. "

Just listening to her description, Shade could imagine how dangerous this adventure in the New World would be:

"Did you find any interesting information in the ruins?"

"Yes, that's why the nun was so anxious to return to the [Spiritual Order] without even meeting you. But she asked me to tell you that the power of the First Fire has been further enhanced, and she will come soon Moon Bay will also bring you new strength."
