Whispering Verse

"Muloc's ritual information? That's all you need?"

In the living room on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, Miss Carina looked at Shade in surprise:

"Make sure you don't order anything else. I've always been very generous to you."

"I only want this, please collect as much information as possible."

Shade nodded. It seemed that he was at a disadvantage, but in fact, even if there was only one sentence of clues, he would benefit more from this deal.

"This is not okay, this is not a fair deal. You can't imagine how valuable this formula is to me. Come over, Shade, come to me."

The witch waved to Shade. Although this was Shade's house, Carina Cavendish was obviously not polite.

"Want to grab my hand again?"

Shade asked doubtfully, but put down the cat and walked over.

Mia stood there looking at Shade.

Unexpectedly, when Shade came to the front, Miss Carina actually stood up. The witch was only slightly shorter than Shade. The two looked at each other at close range for a moment. Before Shade could react, she stepped on her toes, held the back of Shade's head with her right hand, and gently touched Shade's forehead. Kissed.

"Oh, miss!"

Shade heard the exclamation of Miss Tifa Servit and the meowing of the cat on the arm of the sofa. But before he could feel anything, he was released by the witch.

Carina Cavendish had a slightly blushing face and a charming smile. She brushed her lips with her fingers:

"Of course it's not as good as your recipe, but I think our relationship doesn't necessarily have to be a fair deal every time."

"Yes"

The stranger was speechless for a moment, took a step back, and looked at the witch in front of him:

"But I hope it won't happen next time."

"You don't like the witch's kiss?"

Miss Carina asked, Shade shook his head:

"Next time, please tell me in advance what you are going to do. I want to feel it carefully. This is only fair."

A smile appeared on the Duchess's lips. The maid at the table looked at Shade with a somewhat dissatisfied brow. Little Mia raised her head and widened her eyes as if she wanted to "yell" at the women. Shade looked in front of her. The red-haired witch has beautiful eyes.

"Shade, I thought you would blush so hard that I didn't know what to say, but I didn't expect this to be good."

The gas lamp on the wall was very bright, illuminating the three people and one cat at this moment.

Miss Carina did what she said. Early the next morning, even before Dorothy arrived at Shade's house, Miss Tifa, the maid, came to St. Teresa's Square in a carriage.

Including the time it took to get from the manor outside the city to the city, she probably got up very early this morning. Shade apologized for this and invited the dark-haired maid to have a cup of tea at home before leaving. Miss Servit hesitated, took out her pocket watch from her cumbersome skirt, looked at the time, and nodded in agreement.

She not only came to Shade to drink tea, but also to explain to Shade what she had given him.

The first thing was the pendant. What Shade took from her hand was a silver round badge strung with a rope. The coat of arms features thorns, a lion's head and a rhododendron.

This pattern looked familiar, and Shade thought for a moment before remembering that it was the coat of arms of "Duchess Saladir" Carina Cavendish. The thorns are the decorative pattern chosen by herself, the lion is an element taken from the royal family crest, representing the royal identity, and the azalea is the symbol of Saladir County itself.

Although she is a member of the royal family, dukes with fiefs can have their own coat of arms. On Miss Carina's carriage, there is both the royal family crest and this pattern.

If Miss Carina is not a witch but a normal woman, then her descendants will inherit this coat of arms and regard it as their family crest.

"What does it mean?"

Shade asked in confusion, but still hung the badge around his neck.

"It means that you are a lady. Even if you unfortunately meet a witch in the future, the other party will not do anything to you when they see this."

The maid said quietly, winked at Shade, and added:

"In addition, in some situations, this badge is useful. For example, if you take this to Saladir County, restaurants may not dare to take your money."

This is probably a little joke.

The cat who had eaten its fill stood on the armrest of the sofa next to him, opened its mouth wide and yawned. Even a young cat can open its mouth wide.

"Miss, I have tested it and the formula you provided is very perfect. It is even more perfect than what is recorded in the information about the later stages of the Witch War that the Council has."

This may be because there was a problem with this technology when it was circulated in the Fifth Age, or perhaps Miss Feliana gave her private improved version.

Shade played with the beautiful silver badge. Because Miss Servit was in front of him, it started to heat up. But because this black-haired maid is not a real witch yet, but only has the power of a witch, the fever is not serious.

A hole was punched above the badge and a string was put on it. Shade will tie it around his neck and decide to wear it whenever he goes out.

"Mr. Hamilton, here is the 'sea return' information that the young lady found. The council has already collected it in advance, so the young lady didn't spend much effort. The great witch Ms. Sylvie Avora, who is already in the Coldwater Port, must have read it. pass."

Miss Servit handed Shade another document bag, which contained handwritten information. There is not much information, even with black and white photos of people standing with glue, there are only three pages. Shade scanned it roughly and found two points that were valuable to him.

The most important thing is that the parliament's information pointed out that the source of power to initiate the sea return ceremony was the items left in the material world by the evil god after a certain divine descent in the fifth era. This gave Shade more ideas.

And the other point is about saving the cursed people:

"Tie the fishing line of the fishing rod with extraordinary power to the body of the cursed person. As long as they can pull the fishing rod, they can effectively prevent them from being called into the ocean by the power of the evil god."

Shade read out the content on the paper, which was very similar to Miss Feliana's last prompt.

Seeing that there was no troubled expression on Shade's face, the black-haired maid continued to explain:

"An ordinary fishing rod only suppresses the urge to enter the red ocean, but a fishing rod with extraordinary power can greatly suppress it. The lady said that the evil god is the guardian of the fish people. He hates fishermen, and even more Loathing losers caught by anglers, the fishing rod is the most hated thing by that god and his order."

Shade thought of more things:

"Then He must be more disgusted with drowned mermaids. I see. That's why the evil god [God of the Deep Sea Drowned], who is opposed to the [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral], is attracted by the [Scales of the Drowned Mermaid]. It turns out that it's not just That little girl has a strange soul.”
