Whispering Verse

I was interrogated many times when I left the city, and it was not easy when I entered the city. At the same time, because the church was inspecting every street in the city, the nearest road home could not be taken. The carriage made a big circle before returning with Shade and the maid in the silent night. Saint Teresa Square.

The light of the gas lamp illuminated the deserted square. Now it was dark. Only a group of pigeons were parked in the square, probably wondering why no one was feeding them today.

Miss Tifa Servitt did not leave the carriage, and Shade went upstairs to get the fang.

The gas lampshade at home probably needs to be cleaned, and the light on the stairs is a little dim, but to outsiders, it is the light of home.

After going upstairs, I saw Miss Bayas already here:

"Oh, Shade! Good evening!"

She sat on the sofa holding a teacup, happily waving her hands to greet Shade, and there was a bottle of red wine on the coffee table in front of her. Shade was still awake when she left, so she was naturally happy to see him safe and sound.

"Good evening."

Shade was also very happy when he returned home. He picked up the orange cat that ran over, and then talked about the vampire teeth with Miss Bayas and Luvia who were standing in front of the window looking at the carriage below, and then took the relic. , turned around and went downstairs with the cat in his arms.

Back in the carriage, the maid just glanced at the fang that Shade had put in the paper bag and put it aside, feeling reassured about Shade's credibility.

Shade, who was anxious to go home, wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by the maid.

She brushed the strands of hair around her ears, blinked and looked at Shade:

"Mr. Hamilton, I would like to thank you again on behalf of Miss."

"What do you mean you're welcome?"

Shade looked at the black-haired maid, not understanding the meaning of these abrupt words.

The latter is a little embarrassed:

"As a servant, I am not qualified to say these words. The Council has been coveting the secrets held by the Blood Spirit School. You probably can't imagine the value of the vampire's corpse and this fang. Miss is not in good condition today, so I want to express my gratitude to you. You did a great job, Mr. Hamilton."

"You don't need to thank me, Miss Servit, Miss Carina and I have said before that this is a fair deal."

Shade said, smelling the scent of the maid again.

"Maybe it's not just a transaction, Mr. Hamilton. After this incident, the lady will probably treat you as a close person. You have shown this value."

"Then I'm honored?"

He didn't know how to answer, so he could only say this.

The maid who was close at hand showed a gentle smile:

"Actually, I also appreciate people like you. You seem out of tune with this world, but you are so real sitting in front of me. If I didn't intend to follow the lady and become a witch, I would probably want to give you a kiss now. Mr. Hamilton , people like you are actually rare.”

"Really? Then you want to say that I am a good person?"

Shade asked hesitantly. The maid hesitated for a moment and leaned forward, but finally took it back:

"Good people never live long. I don't want you to be a purely good person."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"Goodbye, then, Mr. Hamilton. Oh, and don't forget this."

She handed the old manuscript book "The Complete Collection of Ancient Fairy Tales of Delarion" to Shade, which Shade got from the auction:

"This book has been in my hands these days, and I have to admit that you have a very good sense."

"Goodbye, Miss Servit. Actually, I have always been curious, what kind of perfume do you use? It smells really good."

Shade knew that this question was rude, but he still asked it. The black-haired maid was a little surprised, but then she smiled:

"Can you smell it, right? Only a few people can smell this perfume. It was prepared by Miss based on the ancient potion formula circulated in the parliament. Although it is perfume, the production process is that of potion."

"Does the potion have a name?"

Shade was very curious, and the maid hesitated for a moment before giving an answer:

"The smell of a witch."

Even if the Duchess was unprepared, it would be impossible to come up with 1,200 pounds in cash at once. After all, Miss Carina did not expect in advance that Shade would be able to take out the vampire's body.

Therefore, what Miss Carina gave Shade was a money order that could be cashed directly at the Bank of the Kingdom of Delarion.

When Shade returned upstairs with the coquettish cat in his arms, the two ladies were also very satisfied with the large sum of money. The three people plan to divide the 1,200 pounds, but not equally. Because it was Shade who defeated the vampire, Shade took 500 pounds from it, and the two ladies each divided 350 pounds. Shade went to the bank to withdraw the money.

After discussing the vampire fangs, they started preparing dinner again. Because we are still under martial law, we cannot go out to eat even if we have a large income.

Fortunately, the two girls who live alone can cook, and the three of them sat together and enjoyed dinner. Of course, no one forgot the cute cat Mia.

Their relationship is very special, they are not friends, nor are they lovers for the time being. In the words of the purple-eyed soothsayer, fate has linked the three people together. Just like the team of adventurers in ancient stories, or like the friends who experienced magical adventures in fairy tales:

"Louvia, fortune tellers really like to talk about fate."

Shade said at the dinner table. There were red wine glasses in front of the three of them. This was brought by Miss Bayas when she came back in the evening to celebrate the victory.

The long brown-haired sorceress raised her eyebrows at the title Shade used.

Last night, Miss Bayas bravely rushed to the third floor. Although the impact on the evil god was minimal, her identity as the chosen one was exposed to the church.

During the day today, Miss Bayas accepted inquiries from the church and answered many questions about the awakening of power based on the ideas that Miss Anat had already designed. But just like Miss Carina's attitude, the chosen ones who have awakened are not important, the important thing is the chosen ones who have not yet awakened.

There are thirteen selected people in total. No matter what the final door means, it is important to win over as many selected people as possible among one's own forces.

Therefore, except for the Church of the Sun, which paid full attention to Miss Bayas, other churches were more concerned about the way in which the chosen ones would awaken.

Next, Miss Bayas may go to the Holy See of the Church of the Sun for a short time, but she will still stay in Tobesk Diocese and continue her current life. After all, no matter how special the chosen one is, she is currently only a second-level warlock.

"It was the third ring. During the day, the church opened a batch of books to me, and then I was promoted."

Miss Bayas said with a smile, "In this way, Shade of the second ring is still the lowest level."

In addition to those books, according to Miss Bayas, the Holy See has other rewards and training plans in preparation. As long as she doesn't die, she will definitely be promoted to the Thirteenth Ring. Young girls have high investment value.

After dinner, the three of them returned to the living room and continued talking on the sofa.

The topic finally came to the white-robed god last night. Miss Bayas asked the same question as Miss Anat:

"Shad, I only care about one thing, other things don't matter at all. Are you human?"

"Definitely human."

Shade nodded firmly, and the young girl felt relieved. Compared with the curious female fortune teller, Miss Bayas actually didn't care much. It is enough to know that Shade is a human being and that Mystery Locks and Summoning Gods are related to him.

Of course, Shade still didn't tell anyone that the gods and saints were actually him, and he was not just a container. The "Time Key" is used by him to explain everything. Regarding his true specialness, he will not tell anyone until the day he becomes a god.

"But anyway, Shade, you saved everyone."

Miss Bayas said, her smile really beautiful in the light of the gas lamp in the living room.

"But my deeds will be unknown."

He felt a little regretful about this, otherwise even if everyone in the city gave him a shilling, he would not be short of money in decades.

After discussing what happened last night, we finally came to the stage of carving up the harvest in the ruins. The letters and books can be shared, but the relics cannot be cut open.

Originally, six relics were harvested from the ruins, but the evil eye was taken away by the evil god, leaving only five. Now that the fangs have been sold to Miss Carina, only four pieces remain.

"No, it's indeed five pieces. Look at this."

Shade took out the ring box. The ladies all knew the pebbled ring inside, but they all showed disgusting expressions. They did not become a man's hobby:

"Is this why you went to the charity banquet before breaking into the ruins? Since the lady gave it to you, then you can keep it for yourself."

Luvia guessed that Carina Cavendish was a witch, but Miss Bayas knew nothing about it. She seemed a little worried, not about the source of the ring, but about Shade, so she kept telling her:

"Xia De, you must not use this casually unless you have to. I don't want my companions to become neither men nor women."

"Of course, after a while, when the limelight passes, I will sell it."

The surface of the ring looks like pebbles, but the ring is still metal. Under the light of the gas lamp, the metal ring seemed to shine. This strange halo attracted the cat that was originally lying on the coffee table.

"Meow~"

He stood up and looked at Shade. Under the gaze of the three people, Mia came to the ring wagging her tail. First, he lowered his head and sniffed it. After confirming that he couldn't eat it, he curled his tail and actually put the ring on the tip of his tail.

"Um?"

Shade was startled and wanted to hug it, but Mia easily dodged it.

"Meow~"

The orange cat jumped onto the sofa and lay down with its tail swaying. It curled up into a cat ball and let its tail sway in front of it. Looking at the tail with the ring on it, it seemed interested, and the cat found a new toy.

The metaplastic ring can automatically adapt to different finger sizes, and now it actually fits on a cat’s tail. But since the cat can't recite the incantation, there's no need to worry about the ring working. It's just that you can't keep the ring with little Mia for a long time. After all, the whispering element of the relic will have an impact on intelligent life.

But it’s okay to take it out and let the cat play with it occasionally.

Grabbing Mia, Shade took the ring off its tail and put it back into the ring box.

"Does the Relic Transformation Ring have any effect on animals?"

Seeing this scene, Miss Bayas asked softly to the fortune teller on the side, who shook his head:

"There is no data recording this. After all, this ring has never encountered an animal that can recite the incantation."
