Whispering Verse

"Just now"

[The woman who gave you something is a ring warlock. 】

"Um"

Shade looked at the direction in which the police disappeared, and then at the paper bag that was forced into him, which looked like bread from a bakery:

"Are there any dangerous items in here?"

[There are no traces of elements or spirits. You can take a look at what is inside. 】

Shade thought for a moment, then looked in the direction where the young girl and the police disappeared, then turned and walked into the alley where the group of people ran out just now.

There are two-story buildings on both sides of the alley, so the lighting in the alley is not very good. After confirming that there was no one else here, Shade took a look inside the heavy paper bag, which was full of books and documents.

"I didn't expect to encounter something like this."

Shade didn't want to get into any trouble in a strange city, and he had no curiosity about the paper bag that was forced over him. Now that he had confirmed that the items inside were not relics or bombs, he thought about spending some money to let the clothing store on one side of the alley temporarily store the bag of items so that the lady could take them away when she came over.

But looking carefully at the outside of the paper bag, there was a small blue ink mark on the upper right corner of the bag.

The mark is circular, with a circle of vines surrounding the inner edge, and in the center of the mark is an ancient rune that represents the meaning of "words".

The style was very simple, but it made Xia De subconsciously frown:

"The school emblem of Zarath School of Literature?"

Zarath Academy of Literature, also known as Zarath Academy of Magic, together with St. Byrons Comprehensive College and Serkses Higher Medical School, are known as the three major thaumaturgy academies in the Sixth Age. St. Byrons specializes in relic storage, Zarath Academy of Literature is proficient in the development of thaumaturgy and spells, and Serkses Higher Medical School has made great achievements in potions and alchemy.

Not long ago, when they and the doctor broke into the residence of the mayor of Tobesk City, Ridvich, who kept his lover, they met a correspondence magician from the Zaras Literary Academy. It's just that Shade didn't talk to him. He was not familiar with other students from the Thaumaturgy Academy.

"Could the girl just now be a correspondence magician from Zarath Academy of Literature in Coldwater Port City?"

Thinking of this, he looked down at the paper bag in his hand. After hesitating, he reached out to look through the documents in it, and then pulled out one of them.

The school emblem of Zarath Academy of Literature is printed on the top, and the title says [Academy Reward Order]. After a cursory glance at the content of the bounty order, the general idea was that a sage-level relic [Mermaid's Dream] appeared locally, and a bounty mission was issued to the correspondence magicians in Coldwater Port City and surrounding areas, hoping to provide relevant clues to the academy.

"If she didn't snatch this bag of things, then there is a high probability that she is really a correspondence magician from Zarath Academy of Literature."

Thinking of this, Shade hesitated to leave immediately.

He has no acquaintances in the local area. If he can find a correspondence magician who is familiar with the local situation, it will definitely play a big role in finding blood money and even other currency relics.

The three major colleges do not require their students to be good people, but they must not be bad people. This guarantees the other party's basic character. But when he rashly came into contact with an unknown ring warlock, Shade decided to be more cautious.

But before he could make up his mind, footsteps sounded again. The real owner of the paper bag, the girl in a black and white gauze skirt, actually walked in from the alley.

At this time, less than five minutes had passed since she gave Shade the paper bag.

"Sir, I'm so sorry just now."

Wearing small black leather shoes, a young girl in her twenties stood there and looked at Shade. Her long blond hair, carefully taken care of, hangs down on the back of her head (note), and on her right ear is a ruby ​​earring:

"Now, can you give me your stuff back?"

She looks very beautiful when she smiles. She is a very beautiful girl with fair skin and an outstanding temperament. She reminds Shade of the noble girls of noble birth he had seen at the banquet at Lakeview Manor.

No scars or blemishes could be seen on the face, neck or hands. The black and white gauze skirt she is wearing looks ordinary, but if you look closely at the cutting method, you can confirm that it is a purely handmade custom skirt.

Shade couldn't find the right rhetorical method to accurately express his feelings when he saw her for the first time, but in short, this must be a girl of noble birth.

[Ring Warlock. Ruby earrings are powerful relics. 】

"oh?"

Shade said softly, looking at the strange girl:

"Were the police chasing you just now?"

She came back a little too quickly.

"I just accidentally appeared in a place I shouldn't have appeared. Don't worry, sir, I didn't break the law."

She said with a smile. Seeing Shade step forward and hand the paper bag to her, the strange girl also took a step forward.

At close range, Shade could smell the perfume on her body. Nowadays, outsiders also know many girls from different backgrounds who have the ability to easily identify perfumes. Shade couldn't tell the quality of the perfume the strange girl was wearing, but he knew it must be very expensive.

"I'm really sorry to bother you. Goodbye then."

Seeing that Shade didn't want to say anything, the girl wearing ruby ​​earrings took the paper bag, nodded slightly and turned to leave. She walked a little slowly, but Shade, who was thinking, didn't notice this.

Looking at her back, after hesitating for a moment, Shade still called her:

"Sorry, ma'am, I forgot to ask for your name."

The young girl turned around immediately:

"No, you'd better not know my name, otherwise you'll get into trouble. Sir, when chatting up a strange girl, be sure to pay attention to whether the other person is dangerous."

She said with a smile, as if to persuade her occasional admirers to be careful of the danger.

"You're absolutely right."

Shade said, and then asked softly:

"Just, can you satisfy my curiosity. I noticed that this paper bag is full of books. A lady like you, I don't know which school you study in?"

"Me? Have you read my book?"

She raised her eyebrows:

"I can't tell you that, sir, it's a secret."

From this, although there is still the possibility of misjudgment, Shade basically confirmed that the other party was the correspondence magician from Zarath Academy of Literature.

Judging from a simple conversation, the other party is someone who can communicate. And Xia De's question also aroused the other party's vigilance, which was exactly what Xia De wanted. He decided to continue testing. After all, he could not find correspondence sorcerers from the three major thaumaturgy academies anytime and anywhere.

"Sir, you haven't looked through my things, right?"

The young girl asked with a frown.

"of course not."

"That's good, after all, it's here"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly raised her head and stared into Shade's eyes:

"Who are you?"
