Whispering Verse

After breakfast, Shade said goodbye to the ladies at home and went to Yuewan again. After taking the coins from the Dragon Altar as usual, he just walked out of the cave outside the dragon's nest when he was choked by the heavy fog that spread outside:

"Ahem, what is this?"

This fog is not just in the northeast of the city. In fact, the entire Yuewan area was surrounded by heavy fog this morning, which even included the waters near the pier of Yuewan Port.

After entering the city, the visibility of ordinary people may be less than ten meters. When moving forward in the fog, you can only see the dazzling lights in all directions.

Because of this, even the carriage did not dare to move forward quickly. There was a horse lantern hanging on the carriage, and the driver very carefully controlled the horse to move forward slowly. This speed was not as fast as Shade's own walking.

The fog itself has no elements, but a strong smell of burnt and industrial waste gas. Shade has never seen such heavy fog since he visited Moon Bay.

The local coachman explained:

"Sir, autumn in Yuewan is a season of heavy fog. Although this city is not famous for its steam industry, the local steam industry is actually more developed than most cities in the country. This is the first time I have seen such heavy fog in summer. Walk slowly, please don't be in a hurry, safety first."

Today Belindel Manor will receive guests from the church, so Shade's goal is Moon Bay Pier. Because the carriage was too slow, Shade got out of the carriage midway, and then turned into a dexterous cat and walked quickly across the roof.

On a foggy Sunday, you don’t have to worry about others seeing you like this. And it’s okay to see it. After all, it’s normal for cats to run around on the roof.

On the Yuewan Pier, sailors and workers were still working hard in the fog. The reduced visibility makes the originally open sea seem to be covered by a light-transmitting gray curtain, but it is still easy to find the "Glory Messenger" from the dock.

The time has come to nine o'clock in the morning, and the girls on the boat have also woken up. From the outside, the cruise ship does not appear to be particularly large, but once inside, it is discovered that the real space is still the original appearance of the "Glory Messenger".

It was also said to be the largest ship built by mortals at that time.

"Good morning, Shade."

The captain's cabin is extremely spacious and is divided into three levels using two low steps. When Shade came over, Megan and Luvia were standing in front of the wheel on the top floor. Then Shade heard that Miss Aurora and Miss Elisa were in the power room at the bottom of the cabin. The witch was very curious about this ship. The structure of the ship.

"Wait a minute, isn't this ship powered by Miss Elisa's spirit? The power room?"

Shade asked suspiciously, and Megan smiled and said:

"Yes, so the power room is useless, but that is also the original structure of the ship. It can still be used if it is filled with fuel. Miss Eleser herself also prepared fuel on the ship in case of emergency. Xiwei was curious about what happened at that time Steam power system, of course, and I’m also curious about this ship that was built in the Fifth Age.”

"This ship is really big, and even with dozens of us living in it, it seems very empty. I just wandered around the ship last night and almost got lost."

Luvia also smiled and said.

"When we were in the Sunless Sea, Miss Teresa said that the ship was fully loaded with 2,224 passengers and 892 crew members, but in fact this was the number of people set for comfort, and no amount could be more."

Shade curiously touched the steering wheel in the captain's cabin with his hand, so little Mia ran down following his hand and squatted on the steering wheel with a good sense of balance.

"This can be used as a sea base."

Meghan continued:

"Everyone mentioned this while chatting in the restaurant last night before going to bed. Even if the thirteen great witches from the Witch Council gathered together, and all the core followers were present, this ship would be able to fully accommodate it. but."

She lowered her voice:

"Before you came, Luvia and I talked about another thing. What's interesting is that this ship is still a complete cruise ship. In addition to being equipped with dozens of cannons to fight pirates, whether it is the hull itself or other parts , none of them have been transformed by the obvious power of witches or the power of the fifth era."

Luvia continued:

"Miss Elisa herself said that after she left the Sunless Sea with you, she lived with the Witch Emperor for many years before falling into a long sleep. So during her activities, there is no reason not to modify this ship. "She herself mentioned to us that modifying the ship would not affect her."

Shade thought for a moment:

"This is indeed strange. If I ask her directly, wouldn't she know the reason?"

"No."

Meghan immediately shook her head:

"Luvia and I have already speculated that maybe if this ship is contaminated with too much power from the Fifth Era, Miss Elisa and it will not be able to come to the current Sixth Era.

What exactly happened at the end of the Fifth Era is still a mystery. Too much information and records were lost at that time, as if civilization was suddenly cut off, leaving only a few fragments to form the Sixth Era. "

"Many things that should have continued to appear in the Sixth Era never appeared again after the end of the previous era. It was more like those Witch Emperors died together at the same moment. No powerful witches appeared at the beginning of the Sixth Era. I think there must be a reason why Miss Elisa was able to successfully open her eyes in the sixth era, and it’s not just good luck.”

Luvia looked at Shade with a serious expression;

"If Meghan and I are right, she is a 'guinea pig'."

"Sorry, what?"

"Miss Violet and Miss Teresa used it to experiment on how to enter the sixth era and see your experimental subjects. Miss Elisa must also know this. The most important thing about this experiment is her cooperation. And Since she didn’t mention this to us, we can’t ask it ourselves, because there are too many things we don’t know and we must be cautious.”

Megan looked up at the spacious captain's cabin and the Fifth Age-style decorations inside:

"She will definitely not be the only girl who successfully came to the Sixth Age. Shade, after Luvia and I thought about this possibility, we even suspected that there might be many ancient witches who had encountered you. You are lying somewhere sleeping peacefully, waiting to wake up again and appear next to you when fate allows."

"I'm looking forward to that day too."

Shade nodded, he was not surprised:

"We will meet again eventually, I have understood this from the beginning. If Miss Violet and the others can exist in the Sixth Age, then we will have more power when facing the end."

"Xia De, do you really expect them to appear just because they need help? Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. It's too early to think about this now, but if the thirteenth-level witch or even the demigod witch can appear, after all, It’s good for us.”

Luvia patted Shade on the shoulder and looked at him with a smile on her face with purple eyes:

"What, what are your plans for today? This kind of foggy weather is the most likely to cause trouble. Are you going to stay on the boat, or are you going to do other things in the city?"

Shade already had a plan:

"I will go to Margaret Manor later to see how Emilia and Agelina are living. Of course, I will also go to visit Margaret. After she came to the local area, except for the beginning, I really I couldn't spare the time to chat with her and take a walk. Oh, by the way, Meghan, can you help me prepare some age-enhancing drugs? But don't worry, you can do it whenever you have time."

After all, Miss Gothe will be coming at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Even if Shade doesn't send the photo, the lady herself can see the cat.

Megan nodded and agreed, and Luvia said:

"Then go quickly. You can also stay for dinner at Margaret Manor at noon. We also have things to do on the ship. In short, before the final battle comes, find more time to spend with everyone who is thinking about you. Personally.”

The original purpose of Margaret's visit to Yuewan was to show the gentle attitude of the Anjou royal family to the citizens of Yuewan, and to help the royal family test the attitudes of the seven major families, and to contact other local nobles.

But because of the turmoil last Sunday, all the original purposes were changed to "providing post-disaster comfort on behalf of the royal family." Because as long as this one thing is done, all the above things can be achieved.

Three things turned into one, making Margaret even busier. No one expected the sudden accident, so a lot of preparation work before visiting Yuewan was canceled, and many things had to be considered from scratch.

Because of the above reasons, when Shade saw the blonde princess at Margaret Manor this morning, she looked a little haggard. When I greeted Shade in the study room of the manor, I cheered up a little:

"Now I really admire my father. He handles various tasks with such intensity all year round. Even though there are more people around him who can help than me, I can't imagine how tired he is. Fortunately, Teacher Sylvia and Lassers Miss, please come and help me occasionally, otherwise I will be really exhausted this time."

In addition to Margaret, Emilia and Agelina are also here. The elf girl was taking care of the ornamental potted tree planted in the flower pot by the window, and the "Ocarina of Time" was planted on the tree. The little unicorn was lying next to the coffee table eating an apple, and Agelina was frowning at the desk. There was a speech written on the side. The little princess's serious look at work was very different from the past. Shade rarely saw her like this.

"Agelina is really amazing too."

Margaret on the sofa saw Shade looking at the little princess and also praised her:

"Her Carsonian language and grammar skills are not inferior to any professional writers I have seen, and her means and methods of handling things are also very sophisticated. Speaking of which, the princess of this generation of the Cavendish family is really Excellent, I also know Lesiya’s level, can it really be true that if you have many heirs, you can cultivate more outstanding offspring?”
