Whispering Verse

Chapter 2418 and Matilda

"If Shade can use the language of sublimation, of course it will be good news."

Luvia asked Xiang Shade:

"But is it necessary to use your word of sublimation? The arrival of those demigod witches should have an effect, right?"

Shade, who had already considered this, was very cautious:

“I have long thought that that sacrificial site might meet my requirements. The first two times I saw it, I felt the power of time in it.

My low-level words of sublimation do not require rituals, as long as they meet the requirements of the occasion, but they still require a huge amount of spirit. The last time I was in the Heart of Pantanal, I relied on the strength during my promotion. If I could be in the sacrificial field during my promotion this time, it wouldn't be impossible to try. "

But compared to the ancient witches of the fifth era, Shade's plan is actually to summon Miss Isabella in the "past life and sixth era". After using "Spur of Love" to superimpose the mystery lock "Bell Tower Lovers" to merge the two into one, Shade had the opportunity to use the unfinished mystery lock.

Of course, Shade's low-level words of sublimation are ineffective against [Witch Reverberation: The Last Speaker Isabella] (Chapter 2040), so Shade still needs to figure out how to call her.

The demigod ladies of the fifth era are indeed powerful, but unfortunately, demigods are not gods after all, and they still cannot play a key role in fighting the evil gods.

Although Shade has not yet understood the power of [Mystery Lock: Tobesk, the City of the End], he feels that once this mystery lock is unfolded, even gods will be affected. After all, that is the end when all things will die.

The girls would not give him any advice on what Shade should do. Shade had always made his own decision. But at least the news brought by Iluna is very good. If the [Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site] does not become the final ceremony venue for the chosen ones, it would be better. Even if it becomes the ceremony venue, Shade can take this opportunity to do something.

Iluna left quickly. Shade originally planned to talk to Luvia again, or go to the Randall Valley to inform the "Guardians of the Earth" who could not leave there easily to prepare for the decisive battle.

But not long after Iluna left, Miss Matilda hurried back to the manor.

She originally went to Dawn Church with the countess, not to worship, but to have a secret meeting with Earl Eddington. There must be something important for her to come back alone.

"Mr. Hamilton, based on the information you gave about the dock porter and his son, we have made progress in investigating [Eternal Light]. Do you have time now? I just received the news that at 11 o'clock at noon, [Eternal Light] is below A branch in the city is going to hold a meeting, and there will be big figures from the priest level of [Eternal Light] present.”

The structure of [Eternal Light] is quite simple, and the "priest" is already the core character.

"Eleven o'clock? It's just past ten o'clock now. Okay, I'll leave immediately."

But the blonde maid did not give the address immediately, but said awkwardly:

"At that time, in order to make it easier to sneak into the gathering, the people in charge used the identities of a couple. If you are the only one going there, and you look like a northerner"

In fact, Shade can disguise himself as a southerner using more complex illusions, but at this time of year, he is unwilling to walk outside with a face that has been severely modified by illusions. After all, no one knows whether he will encounter someone with high perception.

"Then find someone to go with him."

Luvia suggested, then looked around:

"Although Margaret is not here, can't we still find a girl from Kasenlik who is about the same age as Shade here?"

She looked around. Sister Devlin and she were both from the North. There were quite a few maids here, but she wanted to find a girl who was familiar with Shade. Miss Swift, Tifa, and Agelina are also from the North, and Emilia's elf face is even worse.

Miss Hayley Aurora is good, but she is currently busy in the basement of the manor preparing for the relocation of the alchemy workshop and potions laboratory with Megan, so——

"Matilda, why don't you go with Shade. You are very familiar with the situation in Moon Bay and will not easily expose Shade's identity as an outsider. And you are also very adaptable and will not make mistakes easily."

Sister Devlin also nodded in agreement with this proposal. Only the blonde head maid pointed at herself, and then her face turned red.

She subconsciously looked at Shade, and Shade also looked at her:

"So, do you have time to take a walk with me?"

No one knew that what she was thinking about at the moment was the scene that had often appeared in her dreams in the past week. But there was really no reason to object to this proposal at this time. Even before she came back, Miss Belindell told her that if she was needed at the manor and on the ship, she could go back in no hurry.

"The meeting is at 11 o'clock. We may not be able to make it in time for lunch."

Finally, the blonde maid just said:

"Let's eat some food before we set off."

"Meow~"

The cat standing on the table meowed immediately, and this time Shade would take it with him. After all, no one would suspect that the "couple" who went to the rally with their pet cat was actually pretending to be in a relationship.

It is said to be a secret meeting, but it is impossible for this seemingly ordinary organization to arrange for citizens to wear black robes to meet in abandoned haunted houses or remote rural woods.

The gathering at noon that day was arranged at the "Lark Theater" in the Lower Town in the south of Yuewan City. This theater often arranges some less elegant opera, magic, acrobatics and even poetry recitation performances at night, and Shade performed in Tobesk The "Jasmine Opera" performance venue that I have seen is very close to the "Three Cats Hotel".

"Lark, the first commission I tried to complete was to track the cheating Mr. Lawrence at the Lark Club, and then I discovered 'Mrs. Lasoya' and the reincarnation ring."

He just sighed silently in his heart, then changed into clothes suitable for ordinary citizens, and got into the carriage with Miss Matilda, who also changed into a blue skirt and a beige straw hat.

Shade was rarely alone with this southern maid. When he got into the carriage, he originally wanted to find some topics to talk about, but he didn't expect that Miss Matilda, who was sitting opposite him, took the initiative to turn her head to the window.

But soon, the well-behaved head maid also realized that her actions were very impolite, so when the carriage was driving in the heavy fog, she took the initiative to speak first:

"My name is Matilda Ellington."

Shade immediately understood that she was reminding him that the title he had been using was wrong, so he nodded:

"Okay, Miss Elington, how do you know Miss Belindle?"

This was considered intruding on other people's privacy, but the blonde didn't feel offended:

"My grandmother and mother were both maids of the Belindel family. My grandmother was the head maid of the young lady's maternal grandmother. When I was a child, I actually grew up with the young lady in the manor. She is a few years older than me."

After all, she did not dare to mention the specific age of the countess:

"Later, she became the apprentice of the previous generation's Destiny. A few years later, I unexpectedly awakened my talent. At that time, the teacher of the young lady had not passed away yet. She divined for me, thinking that I would be able to help the young lady in the future, and would become a Her best assistant, so I became Miss’s first apprentice.”

She is also the only apprentice at present. Although Bella Belindel has passed the age of "girl" in the eyes of ordinary people, she is still very young to the witch.

"That's right. This is different from Tifa. When she and Carina met, they were over ten years old, but they grew up together."

Shade said with a smile.

Carina rarely talks about her childhood, in order to maintain dignity in front of Lesia. But every time she leaned on Shade's chest, holding Shade's hand in the bedroom and talking about the past, she was always happy that she had caught sight of Tifa Servet.

Once we started chatting, it became less awkward along the way. Shade still doesn't know why the blonde maid has been afraid to look at him recently, but at least now it seems that Shade didn't offend her unintentionally.

Communicating with each other also builds a deeper understanding of each other, which can be helpful when pretending to be a "couple" for a while.

By the time she got off the carriage, Matilda was no longer unfamiliar with Shade. This was also the first time she had such a detailed exchange with Shade. Listening to Shade's details of life while stroking the cat, she also felt that Shade was actually a good man.

Of course, if she thought of what she saw outside the restaurant that night, the maid tried her best not to think about it.

The "Lark Opera House" is located on Woking Avenue in the lower city. There are no performances in the opera house during the day, so it can be rented out for various purposes. Even if it is rented by ring magicians for black market transactions, it is not impossible.

This time, [Eternal Light] was rented for a whole day. When Shade and Matilda arrived at the door of the not-so-large two-story building, he raised his right arm and motioned to the maid to carry it. She came up, but the latter first stretched out her hand to help Shade adjust her collar, and then took her arm.

She took a gentle breath, and her expression quickly became gentle but a little nervous. Even though she is not one of the professionally trained girls in the Golden Dawn Opera Company, she is still very good at performing.

The left and right sides of the "Lark Opera House" are a herbal medicine store and a clothing store, but the combined area of ​​the two is similar to the size of the opera house. Although the opera house is very shabby, at least there is a sign hanging on the window on the second floor. On the left and right sides of the double-open door on the first floor, the performance schedule of the past week and the opera house's advertisement are posted.

Shade reached out and knocked on the door. Not long after, a thin woman wearing a headscarf and holding a broom poked her head out of the crack in the door. She has high cheekbones and a small scar on her right cheek:

"The opera house is closed during the day. Please come back at seven o'clock in the evening to buy tickets."

"Mr. Whiskey invited us here. Have Mr. Rum and the others arrived?"

These are the names of wines, in fact they are also secret codes.
