Whispering Verse

"Priest, it's hard to say whether I'm a child or not."

Shade replied with a smile. Priest August ignored this sentence, but looked at what Shade was holding. His old face became more wrinkled due to his frowning movements:

"Where did you find this?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the bone, but was stopped by Shade:

"Wait a minute, priest. This cannot be given to you until your 'vacation' is over."

"I just want to see what it is like now, so you don't have to be nervous."

After the priest finished speaking, he touched the bone. There was no sound or light effect after that. Shade also explained what happened just now:

"You also met the nun in Middleburg. She said that her seal was not strong, so I wanted to ask you for help. Otherwise, I shouldn't have disturbed your vacation."

"That nun is so humble. This seal is outstanding, but"

Priest August felt it carefully, and he was not afraid of the glimmer of light on his bones:

"If you want to be foolproof, you still have to give this to me. This is the most active bone I have ever seen. Although I don't know how it was done and whether it is related to the abnormal light on it, except for me, you There is almost no other way to be 100% safe.”

"almost?"

Shade raised his eyebrows, and the priest nodded and told the truth:

"You can send it to real death, and the power there can definitely suppress any restless death. But the problem is, we don't know whether this layer of light will affect death itself. I can feel this light Although it is not strong now, its source is quite powerful.”

He did not let Shade make a decision directly, but let go of his hand:

"The nun's seal can last at least a week. You can find a safer place to store it first, and then come to me when you have made a decision. I have been in this orphanage."

The hidden space in the basement of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square is a very safe place. Shade is sure that the power of the bones cannot match the statue of the ancient god, but he is worried that the power of the bones will damage other items.

Most of his belongings were stored there.

"Well priest, if I give this to you temporarily, what are you going to do with it?"

Shade thought for a while before asking. Priest August replied without thinking:

"Temporarily imprison it in my body to appease the restless death. This is your thing. I will not absorb its power without your permission."

Shade still has considerable trust in the character of Priest Augustus. When the priest said this, he was actually a little moved:

"Then what are you going to do with those lights on the bones?"

Rat August smiled;

"Do you still remember my core spirit rune?"

"Last summer I heard that it was at the doctor's place. There was only one, Enlightenment [Glimmer]. (Chapter 39)"

Shade said, and the priest nodded:

"The power of my own death and the power of the core spirit runes are enough to suppress the light on this bone. But in this way, my own power level will decline to around the first or second level in a short period of time, and I will not be able to Use the power of that angel unless I want this bone to go out of control like you describe.

But it doesn't matter if my strength is temporarily weakened. I still have a lot of alchemy tools in my hand. Besides, I have been in the orphanage and have never encountered situations where I need strength. "

The priest is now in the fourth ring, but in Shade's view, the level is not important to him.

"Will it cause your strength to decline? This is not acceptable. Moon Bay is not a safe place now."

Shade immediately shook his head, turned around and was about to leave and think of other solutions, such as shamelessly visiting the "Lady of the Lake" in Huntington City, or directly asking Luvia to divine a solution, but the priest stopped him:

"This time I didn't want to help you directly like Green Lake. You and the doctor all said that I need to heal the gap in my heart. Since I won't help directly, let me help you."

He pointed to the bone:

"You're in Yuewan. Even if I encounter a big problem, can't I just ask you for help?"

"But"

"Detective, this is not your character, or do you think you can't trust me?"

"Of course not, but are you sure it's okay?"

"If you have any problems, it's okay with me."

Seeing that Priest August was so confident, Xia De finally nodded in agreement. He handed over the bone, and then watched as Priest August took the shoulder blade and "stuffed" it into his chest.

It's not that the flesh and blood are pierced, but ripples appear on the surface of the body like water. When the bone completely entered the priest's body and soul, Shade shook hands with Priest August to confirm his condition. After "she" told her that there was no problem, she reluctantly felt relieved:

"This is my contact address. Our fortune teller friend is also here. Please contact us anytime you have time."

This time, Shade no longer gave the address of "Princess Trading Partner", but the address of Belindel Manor.

Priest Augustus, who had been here for half a week, obviously knew what this address meant.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked Shade up and down:

"Does the duchess know about this?"

"Yeah, of course I know."

"You still have the means. Wait a minute, don't leave yet. Since you are here, I will give you some good things."

The old priest left in a hurry, but soon came back and handed a small bottle to Shade:

"I hope it will be useful to you."

The slightly glowing liquid in the bottle was naturally holy water. Shade felt it with his hand and looked at the priest in surprise:

"No. 2 holy water puree? Priest, can you make holy water of this level now?"

The old priest was quite complacent:

"Do you think the skull you found in Green Lake just caused me to have the psychological problems I have now? However, although it is very convenient for me to make No. 3 holy water, as much as you want, the production of No. 2 holy water is limited by raw materials and steps, and the output is very low. I came from Tobesk this time, and I brought three bottles that I had just made. You can take this bottle."

No. 2 holy water puree is a real strategic material. No matter how rich you are, you can't buy it. Just like there have never been sage-level and angel-level relics on the black market, the preciousness of No. 2 holy water is actually very similar. Although Shad thought that the priest's "cargo list" would increase a lot after the Green Lake incident, he didn't expect that there would be such things now:

"Then I will accept it without hesitation."

"Don't be polite to me, just like I am not polite to you."

After saying goodbye to the priest, Shad threw away the crystal shoes and returned to Tobesk's home.

It was late at night. Although the night of Tobesk, the "Steam City", was still misty, the city was much calmer than Moon Bay tonight.

After Shad went upstairs alone, he saw Carina and Dorothy drinking tea and talking about the topic of this summer's dresses in a fashion magazine.

Seeing that there was no Mia beside Shad, Dorothy basically understood:

"Are you going to stay at Luvia's place tonight?"

"Yes, I came to say hello to you. If I don't come back, I'm afraid you will worry."

Shad said this, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, Dorothy and Carina have been living here recently, but he still has to stay outside. He knows that this is not right.

"Shad probably has some weird ideas again. How can we be angry when you accompany Luvia?"

The red-haired duchess said with a smile:

"Then go quickly. But you came to inform us so late. Is there something wrong in Yuewan again? But according to the time, Sister Defulin should be in Yuewan, right?"

Shad then sat down and briefly told them about what happened tonight. When talking about Helen and Grace, he also glanced at Dorothy. The writer naturally understood what Shad meant:

"Lecia and I will not go to Yuewan for the time being. We have our own things in Tobesk, and under normal circumstances, the two of us can't help you too much. As long as I am here, I can go down to Yuewan in the basement immediately, so if there is a need, we can appear on the battlefield immediately, so there is no rush."

Shad nodded, kissed them goodbye one by one, and then went to Yuewan from the basement. Of course, when he set off, he had another file bag in his hand. This was the investigation report of the [Guiding Light Hermitage] on the [Eternal Light] organization in Yuewan that Old John promised to give him.

Because it took a long detour to go home, when Shade returned to Belindel Manor, it was already 9:30 that night, but the ladies in the manor were still waiting for Shade to come back.

Before he arrived at the manor, everyone, including Sister Defulin, was in the study talking about tonight's events and future plans. The Moon Bay incident has developed to this point, and it is approaching the final decisive battle. Even Ajelina can see the tense atmosphere of impending storms.

But it was already late today, so after confirming that Shade had returned safely, the ladies did not gather together to continue talking, but went back to rest.

Sister Defulin has not yet revealed her whereabouts to the church, so she and the nuns who came to Moon Bay with her will also live in Belindel Manor.

As a result, the manor's rooms are a bit stretched, but fortunately, there is now a portal in the basement connected to the "Glorious Messenger" on the dock, and the number of passengers that can be accommodated on the "Glorious Messenger" is thousands.

When Shad came back just now, he said that he would stay overnight at the Belindel Manor, so the countess enthusiastically arranged for Matilda to prepare the room that Shad had slept in, as well as pajamas and toiletries.

The countess was talking to Megan in the corridor on the second floor, but saw her blonde maid coming back soon.

The originally graceful head maid pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before telling her master:

"Miss, Mr. Hamilton said there is no need to prepare a room, he will sleep with Miss Annette tonight."
