Whispering Verse

Witches also prefer cabins with Fifth Era interior styles to manors. In fact, witches like any fifth era culture and popular style. They have always been thinking about the era when witches dominated the world.

Because the ship's portal is located in the huge banquet hall in the cabin, the banquet hall with five long tables has become the main venue for the witch and her followers.

The banquet hall is actually a two-story building, with stairs leading to the upper floor on both sides of the door. It's just that the upper floor is just a corridor around the wall. People holding wine glasses during the banquet can look down into the banquet hall below, or enter the room on the other side of the corridor to rest.

When Shade appeared in the cabin, the busy girls gathered at the table, either looking through Miss Belindel's documents of the seven major families, or handling tedious paperwork for their respective mistresses.

Miss Matilda and Tifa are waiting for Shade, and they are leading the work of reading and summarizing the three materials.

So the five people sat down at the end of the long table. First, Tifa informed Shade of the MI6 investigation results:

"There were too many suspect accounts mentioned in the original investigation report. We conducted another round of screening based on transaction frequency and consistency with the dates you provided. Now there are a total of two suspect accounts left."

Two folders of documents were handed to Shade, and at the top of the first page of each document, there was an additional black and white photo pinned with a pin. This is what the holder of the suspected account looks like:

"The holders of these two accounts are not ordinary civilians. The first one is local businessman Thomas Pigeon. When he was young, he followed the fleet to the Kingdom of the Islands-Keiragli many times to resell smuggled goods. Later he also had his own ships, and then developed into a fleet.

Although the size of the fleet is not very large, it still has a certain reputation in Yuewan. His ship mainly carries rare minerals discovered from Kailagli, so every time it enters the port, it must pass the strictest inspection of the Carsonlik Customs Department. Office 6 found this account, which was the account used by the Pijin fleet for bulk cargo transactions. "

As Tifa said, Shade picked up the document and briefly looked through it:

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

It was Miss Matilda who answered the question:

"The Port Authority has always suspected that Pigeon's fleet has reached some kind of deal with the pirates of Kailagli. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that his ships are rarely plundered by pirates. But because he spent so much money to deal with the Eddington family He is an important person, so several investigations have come to nothing. The relationship between the seven major families in Yuewan City is complicated, so these moths have room to survive. "

Tifa then continued to introduce the second person:

"The second one is also related to the Eddington family. Carmen Eddington, the third son of Earl Eddington, is a famous musician in Moon Bay."

"musician?"

Shade asked suspiciously, and then said after getting a definite answer:

"This Mr. Eddington is definitely not a vampire. My vampire friends told me that they do not allow members of the seven major families to become members of the same race. This is not because the blood of the seven major families is special, but because they have settled in the local area. Vampires don’t want to cause trouble for themselves. This is the era of human civilization, and they are also very cautious.”

Of course, Xia De still needs to verify whether it is true.

"But how can a musician like this have a regular account to conduct large transactions?"

Luvia asked:

"It can't be that he's still reselling pianos, right?"

Tifa continued to answer:

"The investigation report given by the Sixth Bureau did not make it very clear, but this matter may involve corruption in the construction of Yuewan Bridge. The Sixth Bureau's guess is that either the musician's account is corrupt The 'bridge' account of the funds, or he himself is one of the direct beneficiaries of the Yuewan Bridge corruption problem.

Although he is a musician, he cannot rely on the huge influence of the Eddington family to help others deal with some troublesome matters. "

"It actually involves that bridge?"

Luvia shook her head, and Shade said:

"I entrusted 'Grey Gloves' to help me investigate the construction corruption problem of Yuewan Bridge. It can be said that everyone in the seven major families benefited from it. Yes, Belindel also, but the problem is not big, so Belindel The lady didn’t bother to pay attention.”

Of course, this was what Shade said in a nice way, and Matilda on the side did not correct him. The actual situation is that the countess knows that it is impossible for her to not participate in this kind of thing. If the other six families are reaching out, but only one family is not, this is a typical example of "disunity."

He frowned:

"But is the corruption at Yuewan Bridge also related to the [Dragon Feast Order]?"

Because the musician himself is most likely not a vampire, and coupled with the actual purpose of the account, the possibility that he is a key suspect in the connection between vampires and cultists is greatly reduced.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the more unlikely the candidate, the more likely it is that there will be big problems, so he will handle this matter very carefully in the future.

After Tifa finished talking, it was Miss Matilda's turn.

The blonde head maid from the southern country has been avoiding Shade for some reason recently, and she is not even willing to look at Shade. Shade didn't know what problem she had encountered, but fortunately, at least she was normal now:

"The notebook 'left' by the thirteen-ring warlock has no element response, and the information recorded in it is not a curse or other trap. The notebook records four relics and their characteristics, and the other pages are blank."

"Relics? Explain in detail."

"Okay, two of them are the 'Higgs Dragon Head Stone' and 'Hafana Dragon Body Stone' that you mentioned. They are both Keeper-level relics, but as long as the two stones are put together, they can automatically transform into [Ancient Dragon Stone]. According to the notebook, [Ancient Dragon Stone] is an angel-level relic."

The blonde maid said, and Luvia asked Shade:

"Based on the performance of the [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] in your hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that this relic is rated as a sage-level relic. Shade, if the two stones are put together, and [Ancient Dragon Stone] really transforms an individual into a dragon, can you beat the other party?"

"The dragon transformed by this relic is probably not an ordinary dragon. Why should I fight the other party?"

Shade asked curiously:

"Obviously, this relic is most likely used in the Chosen Ceremony, but I don't need to hold the Chosen Ceremony."

Luvia smiled and did not comment:

"Look This notebook was really left to us by the 'Light Chaser', but what does he want to do? What are the other two relics? "

"A sage-level relic [Apron of the Unknown Swordsmith]. Throwing this relic into the fire can summon the 'Unknown Swordsmith', who is considered a humanoid relic whose prototype lived in the Second Age.

After defeating the swordsmith holding the hammer, you can provide raw materials for the swordsmith to forge a sword tailored for you. And the swords forged in this way are all considered to be relic derivatives. "

Tifa answered again, and Shade asked:

"How strong a sword can this relic forge?"

"It depends on the material. According to the information in this notebook, precious enough materials are enough to forge an angel-level sword. "

"A sage-level relic can forge a relic derivative that can be rated as an angel-level?"

Luvia raised her eyebrows. After all, generally speaking, the rating of a relic derivative will not exceed that of the relic itself.

"But where is this relic?" Xia De asked again, and the black-haired maid shook her head: "After obtaining this information, I have applied to the parliament for an investigation. But this is different from the [Star Sword Stone], and the parliament has no clues for the time being." "What about the fourth relic?" "This one has a lower rating, a poet-level (level 5) relic, an ointment slug. This is also a living relic, and there is a population. Its population history can be traced back to the earliest era. It is a very ancient creature, but this slug does not like to live in groups. The average height of the slug is about 3m, and its normal movement speed is extremely fast. When in danger, it can transform itself into a light form to move forward. This creature is considered to be an alternative "light element creature", and some studies even say that they have a rare dragon bloodline." This is not surprising, dragons can leave offspring with almost any creature. "After killing the slug, its body will turn into foam and disappear, but some ointment will be left behind. This special ointment is regarded as a relic derivative 'Slug Ointment', which has a wide range of uses and is involved in many ancient magic potion recipes. At the same time, this ointment is used to maintain metal products, which will make the metal undergo a qualitative change level of strengthening. It is applicable to both cold weapons and mechanical devices."

Shad knew about this relic, which was mentioned many times in the Pink Book. But it is not used to prepare magic potions, but to prepare ointments for lubrication.

The danger of [Ointment Slug] is also not small. The land that this thing crawls over at normal speed will turn into ointment. Because of the influence of the whispering element, even if it is purified afterwards, those lands will not be able to grow any plants for a long time. The slug in the form of light can turn any entity it touches into ointment.

Because of this pollution hazard, [Ointment Slug] has only the lowest danger rating, but it must be killed immediately once it is discovered. Fortunately, slugs are docile and generally do not actively attack humans. Their fighting power varies according to the age and size of the individual.

The average fighting power of [Ointment Slug] is similar to that of ordinary alien creatures, but the book also records ancient slugs that are capable of fighting dragons and unicorns. But in general, this is not a very dangerous relic.

"Is anyone raising this relic now?"

Xia De asked again, but the answer he got this time was still a shake of the head.

[Ointment Slug] is extremely rare, and every time it seems to appear out of thin air, it is impossible to trace its habitat. However, there are many "slug ointments" in the material world, which are the derivatives of this living relic after death, but Xia De feels that if this is also the material needed for the ritual of the chosen one, it should probably be taken from living bodies.
