Whispering Verse

Chapter 2762 Ancient Tradition and Demon Appearance

"Wait for things to develop further. Since the demon has shown its power because I disturbed it, it is impossible for it not to act afterwards."

Shad's decision was quite strange. After all, in Flora's opinion, he had never passively waited for things to develop. However, she did not ask more questions. Instead, she turned into an owl and flew into the sky when the two left the manor and asked:

"Are you really going to wait for things to change?"

"Of course not."

The cat caught by the owl said:

"The vengeful spirit that led me to discover the secret room last night now seems to be controlled by the devil. How could I tell the truth in that secret room? The so-called waiting for things to change is actually waiting for someone."

"Sister Defulin?"

The owl asked as it flew.

"No, it's my friend who knows a lot about demons. He's a professional hunter, and he actually told me that everything will be solved when he comes. All we need to do is to prevent the demon from causing more serious problems in the city before he comes. Then after he finds all the demon's clones, we can arrange people to defeat all of them at the same time."

The whistling wind in the sky sounded beside the owl:

"I'm not doubting what you said, but are you sure your friend is really that powerful?"

Shad still has confidence in the doctor, as long as he doesn't let the doctor do things that rely on luck:

"Of course, you can rest assured about this. So arrange people to monitor the Kant family later, but don't get too close to them. I'm worried that you and Miss Sylvia's followers will really provoke the demon. Then arrange Miss Bell to frequently exchange with the church. Intelligence, pretending that we are actually trying to investigate.

In this way, no matter whether the demon believes that we are waiting for the development of the situation or not, the advantage is actually on our side. As for the connection between the Hoy Manor three hundred years ago and the Kant family today, we will have plenty of time to investigate after we defeat the demon. "

Miss Owl heard him speak lightly, but still felt uneasy:

"But this is an evil spirit demon after all, forget it, if you think it's okay, it's fine, Danister also said that it's up to you. So what else do you have to do today? It's only eleven o'clock in the morning."

"Of course it's to watch your performance. Isn't your performance more important than any demon?"

So after returning to the Accordion Hotel at noon, Shade really didn't go out the whole afternoon, but chatted with the two ladies in the room until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Flora needs to perform on stage in the evening, of course it's impossible for her to go backstage directly after putting on makeup. She has been assigned a separate dressing room, so seeing that the time is almost up, Miss Danister stayed to guard the two tree holes, and Shade, Miss Bell and the other three "musician assistants" followed Flora to the Golden Music Hall.

It was still raining in the morning, but the weather was particularly good in the afternoon. The blue sky in autumn was refreshing. I don’t know if it was because of what Shade said at noon, the witch seemed to be looking forward to tonight’s performance more than yesterday.

The Harvest Concert used the main hall of the Golden Music Hall, so the dressing room assigned to Flora was also the best. She was not the finale musician of this performance, but she could be regarded as the most important musician of this concert.

After all, she did not participate in this year’s Moon Dance Festival Concert, and people were still looking forward to Flora Winslet’s performance.

The air in the dressing room was very fresh, so Flora asked her followers to help her put on makeup while chatting with Shade. Thanks to her good skin and young beauty-this is definitely not self-praise, so she doesn’t need to put on heavy makeup when putting on makeup, just simple eyebrow drawing and lipstick.

When it was time to change into the dress for the performance, Xia De stood up from the chair very gentlemanly:

"I'll go to the bathroom."

The witch with gray-black hair originally wanted to say "Just turn around", because that's what they did in the dream, but she didn't have the nerve to say it in the end. After all, there were only two of them in the dream, but now there are four girls here.

The backstage of the concert hall is very large, and both sides of the long corridor are all dressing rooms. Solo musicians like Flora can put on makeup in their own dressing rooms at leisure, but those orchestras that need to perform together are already busy.

Considering that standing in the corridor will block other people's way, Xia De has seen the girl holding the dress almost tripped, and the reckless young man holding the tea tray almost let the teapot fly out, so he simply left the dressing room corridor and stood in the corridor at the entrance of the side hall of the concert hall where there are fewer people.

This performance hall was named "Banyan Hall". At this time, the door was ajar, and the sound of violin practice could be heard inside. Based on the time Dorothy and Luvia took to change their dresses, Shade estimated that it would take him half an hour to an hour to go back, so he looked up at the paintings on the wall and thought about going to the museum next door for another round.

"Mr. Watson, have you read "Riverwood Town and the World Tree"? "

A familiar voice came from behind him. Turning around, it was Professor Yuk Wood, whom he met at the charity auction last night.

The old professor waved to Shade:

"I came to the museum here to do some things. I saw you standing here from the window just now, so I came over to say hello. How about it, the content of that book is very interesting, right?"

"I just got the book this morning. I left it at the hotel and haven't had a chance to look at it yet."

Shade also nodded to the professor, and then continued to look up at the landscape oil painting with the big tree:

"But do folklore books also have interesting content? I always thought that such professional books were boring."

The white-bearded professor smiled and said:

""Ximu Town and World Tree" is not written in the form of an academic book. It is more like a travel note, recording the author's experiences in In addition to the Temple of Time, it also contains the author's description of the lost local "Tree Hole Ceremony."

Seeing Shade's interested expression, he continued to explain:

"This is a local tradition that has been lost before the age of steam industry. People believed that after the autumn harvest, the most precious food was stored in tree holes in the forest, and when it was taken out the next winter, the food would have been available. Blessings from trees and forests.

The passage of a year itself symbolizes the contract signed between man and time, that is, people offer sacrifices to the tree and time, and the tree and time give people the strength to overcome the difficult years. "

Shade asked curiously:

"But it sounds like the townspeople just store the food in a special way. Although it seems strange to take it out after a year has passed, this is probably just a strange habit and cannot be called a folklore tradition.

And during the month I stayed in Vista City, I also studied many local customs, but I had never heard of this. "

"Because this happened a long, long time ago. It was so long ago that many of the towering trees in the forest were just saplings, and so long ago that the kingdom under our feet didn't exist yet."

Professor Uke Wood said, looking quite sad:

"Anyway, if you have time, read the book "Ximu Town and the World Tree". Although there are many fallacies in the content of that book, there is a lot of interesting content. Especially in the chapter that discusses the traditional folk customs of Ximu Town, there are many Traditions that have been lost are still recorded on it.”

"What about the World Tree?"

Shade asked again, and the old professor hesitantly touched his beard:

"Those already involve myths and legends. They are things from an older era. You can tell whether the contents are true or false by yourself."

He raised his hand and pointed at the oil painting that Shade was looking at just now:

"If you go to some important places in the local area, you can actually find that oil paintings with images of giant trees are hanging in almost all places. This is not because the tradition of worshiping giant trees is still spread locally, but because the local residents are unconscious They are worshiping trees as tall as the World Tree.”

"Is this a belief passed down by our ancestors and still affecting future generations? This statement does not seem to be scientific."

"It's the power of the tree that still affects this woodland. It has never left here."

Professor Wood left quickly, and Shade looked at his back and didn't know what to say:

"A very strange person, and he is also a first-level warlock. Euke Wood"

However, it didn't take much time to communicate with Professor Wood. Considering that Flora still needed some time to change clothes, Shade decided to go to the museum for a walk.

Then he just turned the corner of the corridor and saw young George Conte walking with Mr. Bennet. Shade's appearance at this time was a little different from how he often appeared in the hotel. This was the effect of an illusion. Therefore, although Mr. Bennet had seen Shade many times in the city, he was obviously not impressed by him.

But the young man who was rescued from the lake of love took the initiative to say hello with a smile:

"Mr. Watson, we meet again. I'm sorry for the poor reception at last night's auction."

"It doesn't matter, at least I bought what I wanted."

Shade shook his head, then shook his hand, and then watched the two of them leave along the corridor. The Bennet family and the Conde family are distantly related, so of course young George Conde and Mr. Bennet have a good relationship.

I just don’t know if Mr. Bennet still wants to find a marriage partner for his daughter this time. If so, then the Bennets are out of luck:

"Devil"

Shade looked down at his hands, and he had to admit that the other party's disguise was really good. But when the two parties shook hands just now, he still sensed what George Kant was:

"This is the first time I have come into contact with him since he came up from the bottom of the Lake of Love. This is indeed a good idea. Disguise yourself as a victim of the last incident, and it is also a victim of a serious incident. George Kant is the fire. The Devil Dezast."
