Whispering Verse

Chapter 2590 The Devil in the Forest

"It's not difficult to persuade her, just say that this can further explore the local secrets and the rules of time travel. As for me helping you, you just need to do me a small favor."

Miss Winslet smiled at the red-haired girl, who was very alert:

"Do you want to know about Shade's past, or do you want me to persuade Shade to go out on a date with you? No, I won't do that. I know what you are thinking, Flora, that's immoral."

The witch raised her eyebrows:

"Then you are wrong, I am not interested in men, okay, I am somewhat interested in your students, but not that kind of interest. I do want to know more about him, he is a rare and interesting person.

I just want you to agree to let me teach him some transfiguration. No, don't use that disgusting and vigilant look at me. I don't want to snatch your "teacher" position. I just want him to trust me more, and he does have the talent of deformation. For a moment, the tone was very happy: "The only problem is that if everything in our actions goes well. But if we are trying to use the tree hole safely and deepen your curse, I dare not think of what kind of eyes that young gentleman will use us." The red -haired girl did not respond to this topic. I remember that the train of [Golden Daiming Opera Troupe] arrived at Tomberg tomorrow afternoon, so it was obvious that it must be lively on Wednesday evening. When the servant led Shade to see the doctor, the doctor was sitting at the dining table with a coffee cup and reading a newspaper:

"I'm curious about your daily routine. You don't sleep at night, right? Don't worry, I've prepared what you want."

He invited Shade to have breakfast together, but Shade politely refused. Then the doctor went to the bedroom to get a small box. The things in the box were not ancient at all, because it was a medical syringe.

Although not ancient, it was very mysterious. The surface of the glass syringe was engraved with the ancient demon rune "cowardice", and the needle made of the refined gold provided by Shade was engraved with delicate and filthy runes that ordinary people could not even see with their naked eyes.

Without turning on the magic "seeing magic", Shade could clearly feel the power that belonged to the devil.

"This box has two layers, and there are two paper figures on the lower layer. This is a method I came up with based on the secret technique circulated in the southern rain forest of Carsenrick. The needle draws out the sins, and then you write the name of the person being drawn on the paper figure, and stick the person's hair on the paper figure, and finally inject the sins in the needle into the paper figure, which can store the sins temporarily.

The stored sins must be consumed within a week or so, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

The doctor did not say what the big trouble was, but showed him the hand-folded paper figure at the bottom of the box. Those paper figures were ordinary, probably the doctor's own handicrafts, but the manufacturing materials were obviously not ordinary, because the color of the paper was dark red:

"Absorbing sin is a kind of sin in itself, so although you want 1 moment of [cowardice], I will only give you two chances. After two times, no matter what the result is, you must destroy the syringe yourself. Detective, you are a cautious person, I will not tell you anything else."

Shad nodded and touched the cat on his shoulder, which was staring at the paper figures with wide eyes:

"Thank you very much, I know the risks."

Just when he put these things away, he thought of another thing:

"Doctor, I am now in the Vista Forest area. There is a rumor that when the city was still Creekwood Town three hundred years ago, an ancient evil demon appeared in the area, but was finally sealed by the thirteenth ring warlock 'Forest Hunter' of the Church of Nature using an angel-level relic. Do you know about this?"

The doctor has been searching for rumors about demons in all parts of the material world, and Shad just happened to ask him for advice. Although the demon had been sealed many years ago and was now safely contained in the Church of Nature, the doctor might have known other local events during the investigation.

The doctor, who was about to open the newspaper again, looked over again:

"Of course I know. This is something I investigated in my early years. I even went to Vista City for this purpose. I have to admit that the air there is really good.

But I didn't find out much at the time. I stayed in Vista City for a week, watched two concerts, and left. The concert commemorative badge I bought at the time is still in my drawer."

He said with a smile, and Xia De asked again:

"Didn't you find any traces of demons in the local area?"

The doctor smiled awkwardly:

"Well, I dug up several graves of victims who were said to be related to the demon incidents of that year, and I sensed the stench of those things in the remaining bones. But other than that, I got nothing. Three hundred years have passed, and the music city is very peaceful, so I haven't visited it since then. You are in Vista City now, right? You must go to the Golden Music Hall to listen to a concert, it's really great."

The doctor was embarrassed to talk about "digging graves", but Shade didn't care, after all, he also broke into someone else's private cemetery:

"Then can you be sure what the evil spirit demon was three hundred years ago?"

The doctor shook his head regretfully:

"I can't be sure. I integrated the local legends and stories, and I can only speculate that the other party's power is related to the woods, and it should not be a very powerful guy.

'Fear Forest Demon-Black Annie''Rotten Giant -Regan Wendel', 'Man-eating demon-Wendigo', 'Forest demon that lured children-Cabilona', these are all possible, but they are completely incomparable to the black crow we encountered last time, the demon of doom-Fanalus. "

He raised his eyebrows at Shade:

"Why, do you think that the one from the Church of Nature back then actually failed to successfully contain that thing?"

"Of course not, it's just that I found some tree holes that traveled through time and space in the local area."

After saying that, he carefully glanced at the doctor. Bill Schneider, who was very good at guessing other people's thoughts, shook his head:

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in traveling through time and reversing the past."

He picked up the Tobesk Morning Post this morning again. Now that the harvest month has come to the end of the month, the newspaper has been reporting on the grain harvest in various parts of Delarion this autumn for several consecutive days. The original intention of the newspaper was to appease the emotions of the people and let everyone not panic to stock up on food, but the citizens of Tobesk instead confirmed the soothing information in the newspaper as a signal that there will definitely be a serious harvest failure this autumn.

Even strangers who don't have to buy their own groceries can feel the recent rise in food prices.

"Detective, I never thought about such stupid questions as 'If that thing hadn't happened, would my life be different?' On the contrary, I am grateful for the life I have now. Although there are all kinds of troubles and that ultimate big trouble, at least I accept this life and am deeply grateful that my life has not become worse now.

In my opinion, only real fools will try to reverse the past. Each of us has the power to face the future. Even if the future is not beautiful, time will eventually take us forward. Just look back. It's meaningless to want to go back."

Shad has always felt that maybe Bill Schneider can achieve good results as a philosopher.

"Besides, with my luck, I am very worried that once I change the past, the present will become more dangerous and unacceptable. Detective, if I hadn't met you across from the Lark Club last summer, oh, I can't imagine what the life of our group of four would be like now."

The doctor behind the newspaper sighed. He cherished the life he already had, so he didn't think about changing the past. Although it's easy to say, there are actually only a few people like doctors.

Shade was confident that he did not have the sin of "cowardice", or even if he did, he did not have much, and the girls around him probably did not have such a sin.

Therefore, the candidates who met the conditions had to be found outside. Although it was not good to always trouble Carina, after getting the conditions for using the "devil's needle" which were basically no conditions, Shade decided to ask Carina to help find out if there were any "cowardly" people when he met her tonight.

Vanessa and Hillis were here today, and Carina could not fail to greet them.

Of course, welcoming the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe was a matter of the evening, and Shade did not plan to be idle during the day.

Adele Isabella arrived in Vista City, so he did not dare to approach the Accordion Hotel easily, but this did not prevent him from taking Mia to the tree house of the mysterious Elf Lady in the forest.

Sure enough, the snacks left on the table at the door yesterday morning had disappeared, but the Elf Lady was still not at home on this Wednesday morning. But Shade took a walk around the area and saw her again in the silver-blue sea of ​​flowers.

During the day, the light spots emitted by the flowers were covered by the sunlight, so the scene of the sea of ​​flowers was not as stunning as at night. She was carrying a small basket, as if she was collecting flowers, and stopped Shade when he tried to get close:

"Don't come over!"

The elf in a silver-blue robe stood up and quickly stepped back a few steps. Her pointed ears trembled slightly, and Shade, who was carrying a cat on his shoulders, didn't know what was going on for a moment.

"I'm allergic to cats!"

She said, staring at the cat with big amber eyes:

"So please don't bring your cat to see me. I'll be angry if you do this again next time!"

"Allergic to cats? This is the first time I've heard that a pure-blooded elf who loves nature is allergic to natural animals."

Shade asked suspiciously, and seeing that the elf lady still insisted that she had a "special physique", she had to nod:

"I'm so sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

He took out another bag of desserts from his pocket, this time it was donuts sprinkled with icing sugar and cupcakes:

"The matter of those antique elf arrows has not been settled yet, I will find them as soon as possible. Are you comfortable living here? Do you need me to bring you some daily necessities?"

He asked with concern, bending down and placing the desserts on the grass at the edge of the sea of ​​flowers.
