Whispering Verse

Chapter 2491 The answer to the Silmaril

This morning Shade and Mr. Albert talked about many things. At eleven o'clock in the morning, the two of them parted at the entrance of the Spider Hotel.

Shade put his hands in his pockets, leaning sideways in the bright sunshine, watching the coroner in a burqa walking towards the dark sewer entrance of the autopsy room. Maybe it was because of the warm sunshine, or maybe it was because the big stone was lifted from his heart after the battle between gods, but he was in a really good mood at this time:

"Luvia probably won't leave Moon Bay right away. Next time I come to visit Mr. Albert, Luvia will probably come with me."

The purple-eyed girl definitely wanted to talk to the seventh chosen one in person before going home.

【What are you going to do next? 】

The gentle wind blew against the side of her face, "she" asked softly.

Shade turned to look at the other end of Spider Alley, and then raised his hand to touch little Mia on his shoulder:

"That mermaid is willing to help me, but the price is that after everything is over, I have to go find her, and she will give me a task. If I remember correctly, she also asked me to bring a bottle full of pink essence as a gift."

[Isn’t it almost full last night? 】

There seemed to be something else in "her" smile, and Shade shook his head:

"I think she meant the high-concentration fragrance that glows, and I don't want to do such a brain-consuming thing today. The Battle of Moon Bay is coming to an end, and so is the summer of 1854. I want to take a break. Take a break, yes, take a break.”

When she returned to Belindel Manor, Carina had already returned to Tobesk with a few maids. Apart from the maid, Lesia was the only one who left together. The Day of the Red Butterfly was over, and she had nothing else to do if she stayed.

As for Dorothy, she stayed behind. She wanted to return to Moon Bay with Luvia, Agelina and the others. According to the writer, she finally arrived at the summer resort on the West Coast. She wanted to experience the exotic customs and enjoy the last days of summer here to make up for the busyness of the recent period.

So Lecia seems to be gone, but in fact she has always been there.

Of course, Helen and Grace have also returned to Fort Midhill. Although it is a mystery how long the two sisters were able to leave there, they are not false when they say that they are still bound by Sikal Mountain.

"Shadow."

Before lunch that day, Siris found Shade alone, who had just returned to the ship and was going to the "Princess Trading Partner" to see if Ms. Anne Bonny and the others had survived the disaster safely, and handed him a tickets.

The young blonde girl had a high-spirited smile on her face, as if something great had happened to her:

"This is for you. The Golden Dawn Opera Troupe will probably not leave Moon Bay until autumn, but I think you won't be active in Moon Bay very soon. So tomorrow night, the troupe will prepare a performance for you alone. Yes, Vanessa will be there in person too.”

She put the ticket directly into Shade's pocket, and even patted her pocket to make sure:

"Remember to come."

"Is Vanessa's performance the same dance she did alone when we were in Randall Valley?"

Shade asked softly, his head unconsciously replaying the sweaty solo dance.

Sirius looked at Shade's expression and found it funny:

"What are you thinking about? The opera troupe wants to perform for you in order to reward you as a great hero. Not only Vanessa and the girls from the troupe, but I will also be on stage. But don't go to the wrong place, the location is not The Eddington Opera House is the indoor theater on board the 'Brilliant Messenger', and Miss Elisa agreed to lend us the space."

"But do you really not invite others? If you are on the boat, you can let me do it."

"Vanessa said this is a thank you gift dedicated solely to the greatest contributor, so you don't need to think too much about it."

She said with a smile, looked around to make sure that no one else on the deck was looking over, then she tiptoed slightly and kissed the side of Shade's face:

"Remember to come tomorrow night, we have a surprise for you then."

Tomorrow's performance is not a dance, but an opera written and performed by the opera company. But Siris was mysterious and refused to name the opera, saying only that Shade must like it.

Now that Carina and Lesia have returned to Tobesk, Shad also returned to his home that he had not returned to for a whole day this afternoon, storing the relics he did not need in the future in a hidden space in the basement.

He will still spend the night in Moon Bay tonight. After all, Miss Feliana and Fiona, who have come from afar, are still on the "Brilliant Messenger". Shade feels that he cannot ignore them.

And when he was placing those relics that afternoon, he thought of the cultists' [Bone Sacrifice Sword] again and didn't know who was in it now:

"After all, it is a sage-level relic. If the church takes it away, it should compensate us, right?"

He was thinking in his mind, standing next to the statue of the ancient god - the original rift, and poured out the glittering diamond half the size of his palm from the bag, and let it lie in the palm of his right hand.

"Meow~"

The cat meowed, then lay on Shade's shoulder and looked curiously at the beautiful diamond.

The unknowable relic [The Hope Diamond] has a total of 58 facets and is crystal clear. Even in a completely dark environment, it will always reflect light from an unknown source.

Apart from its larger appearance, it is not much different from a normal diamond. Compared with the simple [Moon in the Water] and [Time of Retrospect], this unknown-level relic does not have anything particularly magical in appearance.

Shade kept looking at the diamond against the light emitted by the statue, and finally saw a line of very small words from the transparent interior of the diamond:

[Hope lies ahead. 】

This ancient text is the so-called "Misery language", and it is also the language Adele used when she asked Shade to ask about the diamond. Shade originally didn't know "Mither", but fortunately Professor Evans from the "Sunless Sea" taught him a simple Mither word translation table.

There is only one known characteristic of this relic: when people facing desperate situations look at it, it will show them hope. This feature does not involve "Mystic", so the relic actually has more than one function.

Shade recalled the knowledge, then faced the diamond and asked in Mystic, which he was not very proficient in:

"How to stop Luvia Anat's conspiracy?"

I thought there would be no results, or it would just be an ordinary picture like myself and Luvia hugging each other, or living together, but when one of the 58 slices no longer radiated brilliant light, but the picture appeared. After that, Shade squinted his eyes and looked at it for less than a second, then he hugged the diamond with both hands in surprise.

The picture was blocked, and Shade immediately turned to look at the cat on his shoulder. Little Mia should have seen the picture shown in the diamond just now, but fortunately, it was licking its paws boredly at this time.

"Did I see it wrong? Look again."

After letting go of his hand, he looked at the section where the light was dim just now. Sure enough, the scene inside the transparent diamond continued. That's not actually a picture, but a moving scene.

The scene was in the bedroom at home, and it was probably night time. There were no clothes on. The scene shown in the cross-section of Shade holding Luvia was very healthy. It only showed Shade’s upper body and Luvia being held and stretched by Shade. Two hands behind the back.

But Shade could tell what the two were doing at a glance, which was really easy to guess.

He took a deep breath and threw the diamond directly into the small bag provided by Mr. Albert. The bag was full of sand and dust. Shade made sure that the diamonds were completely buried in the sand and dust before closing the bag.

The currently feasible way to contain the [Simultane of Hope] is to bury it in the [Sands of Time]. Only time can erase hope, M. Albert had told him.

"Is this true that I didn't hallucinate? Or did I trigger the negative characteristics of this relic?"

"She" smiled in Shade's ear:

[It is not an illusion. Although the whispering element of the relic is powerful, there is no sign of losing control next to the statue of the ancient god. 】

"Then I'm not doubting the result of [The Diamond of Hope]. It probably means that I can continue to help the long-haired Luvia repair her soul, or that I can use my feelings to maintain her and prevent her from doing weird things. Thoughts, but”

Shade touched the cat again and asked rather embarrassedly:

"How do I tell Adele this?"

[Say whatever you see, you can’t deceive her, right? 】

"She" replied with a smile, and Shade knew that this must be teasing him.

But fortunately, the "Key of Uggdrasil" has been disabled for a month. This does not mean that the key cannot be opened from Sunday, the tenth day of the Flower Moon to the tenth day of the Harvest Moon. The key cannot be opened during the entire "Harvest Moon" period.

Therefore, the next time Shade sees the past Adele to inform him of the result will be close to two months later. By then, he should have thought of a way to answer this question:

"You have to believe in the wisdom of my future self. But speaking of which, Adele left before I even said thank you to her. She didn't even see Miss Feliana and Fiona."

Thinking of this, I was still a little melancholy, but then I asked in my heart:

"The [Dragon Feast Sacrificial Ground] above Moon Bay is now intact, so can I use the Word of Sublimation there again to bring Adele back? Or use the Word of Sublimation to call other witches over?"

[Not possible for the time being. The multiple consecutive God Summoning Ceremonies, Chosen Ceremonies, and your words of sublimation have seriously consumed the power of the sacrificial site. 】

"How long does it take to recover?"

[Maybe next month, maybe 100 years from now. 】

"She" did not give a definite answer, but at least the sacrificial site was not destroyed. In other words, as long as the doomsday has not come yet, sooner or later, Shade will still be able to use his low-level sublimation language to bring Adele back to the world before the doomsday.
