Whispering Verse

After bidding farewell to Miss Carina, Shade hugged the cat and, led by Tifa, walked from the study on the second floor through the corridor to the guest room where Luvia lived. Along the way, I saw that the servants who had regained consciousness were tidying up the manor that had not been tidied up all day. Everyone nodded and said hello when they saw Shade.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, but they would be busy for a while before going to rest. However, this is not because Miss Carina is harsh on her servants, but because everyone has slept almost all day, and it is difficult to fall asleep now.

"The young lady has told the servants that from now on you will also be the owner of this place by default, so please treat this place as your own home."

Tifa explained softly, and continued to move forward with Shade. In the end, she did not take Shade to see Luvia directly. Instead, she walked further and further away, and even lit a candlestick, approaching an area where the light was getting darker and darker. ,

Finally, they stopped in the unlit corridor. Judging from the location, this was a remote location on the east side of the manor house.

Of course, Miss Carina was not short of gold pounds to pay for the gas lights, so even at night, most corridors in the manor house were lit. There are no lights on here, which only means that few people usually come here, so it is impossible for Luvia to be arranged to live nearby.

Just when Shade was confused, Tifa, who was holding the candlestick in front of her, turned around and looked at Shade, then she bent down slightly and placed the candlestick on the ground sideways.

"Um"

Shade didn't know what happened.

"Shad, there is one thing that needs to be clarified."

The girl in a maid skirt held her hands together in front of her body and looked at Shade. There was no light here, only the flickering light of the candlestick at her feet.

"If I agreed just now, it was definitely not just because, it was to thank you."

Looking at Shade with her beautiful eyes, Shade opened her mouth slightly to express surprise, and it took at least three seconds to understand what she wanted to express.

"Yes, I am not ready yet. After becoming Miss Carina's maid, I never thought that I would have any intimate contact with men."

She said softly, then raised her hands and unbuttoned her blouse one by one. Shade was even more surprised. He had always thought that the row of silver buttons extending from the collar to roughly the upper part of the chest were just decorations. It seemed that this dress was more complicated than he thought.

"Please don't think that I can only accept orders from the young lady and don't have any opinions of my own."

Those brown and black eyes looked at Shade, and the corners of his red lips were raised in a smile. She unbuttoned the four buttons from the collar down, revealing a women's shirt underneath. Because it was late summer, the shirt was thin and Shade could see the skin below her neck.

Then he unbuttoned the four buttons on the shirt with both hands:

"In order to prevent others from being discovered, we can stay here for three minutes. Although you cannot taste a big meal, a small snack is still OK."

She said softly and looked at Shade with her neck exposed. Shade looked at the arc in front of him and said hesitantly:

"I still don't want you to do this kind of thing just because you want to thank me. That gift was given to you by Miss Feliana, not me."

The black-haired girl chuckled, and there was shyness, charm, and a variety of complex emotions in that smile that Shade couldn't fully understand.

"You really would say that. So, how about this as an apology? I apologize for just obeying the lady's order and forcibly confining you."

She said softly, the dimples evident on her face.

"Um"

"Two minutes and 49 seconds left."

Tifa walked up to Shad, raised her chest slightly, and then held the back of Shad's head with her right hand, trying to push it down.

"Um"

[Two minutes and 42 seconds left. 】

Shade didn't resist, and his head was pressed down.

Tifa held the back of Shad's head with her right hand and bit her lower lip slightly, with a blush and smile on her face. Use your left hand to pull up the side of the skirt, expose your left foot, and kick it back. The candlestick is kicked and the candlelight goes out:

"Maybe it's okay to stay here for five minutes."

"Meow?"

The cat, who was sleeping in Shade's arms, was surprised why the lights suddenly turned off.

Then it was thrown to the ground by Shade because it was in the way.

(Little Mia is running)

"Why are you looking so red?"

Seeing Shade walking through the door, Luvia, who was lying on the bed, asked strangely. When he sat on the chair next to the bed, he frowned and twitched his nose again:

"What does this smell like on you? Why does it smell so good? Oh, it's the perfume from that beautiful maid."

"Can you smell it too? This is the perfume used by witches, and only a few people can smell it."

Shade lightly twitched his nose, but he couldn't smell anything on himself...

"I can smell it. It smells really good. But what did you do just now? Why do you have such a strong fragrance on your body?"

She asked with a smile. Seeing that Shade looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, she smiled even more happily:

"Look, I know that men like beautiful girls with that kind of figure. Shade, I bet you were very dishonest just now. However, it is not the way of a gentleman to harass someone else's maid in someone else's house."

It was difficult for Shade to explain to her who was being harassed just now.

"Come for a walk with me. It's boring to lie here all the time. Go for a walk in the courtyard. I saw it from the window. It's beautiful here."

she suggested.

"Okay, it's okay to go outside and relax. But have you had dinner? I just had dinner with Miss Carina, and you were still sleeping at that time."

"The servants have been sent. This is the first time I have experienced this kind of aristocratic life."

"How do you feel physically?"

"Very good, don't worry about me, I couldn't go with you after all."

Shade knew that Luvia wanted to take a walk in the courtyard, but she actually didn't want to discuss sensitive issues in the mansion. Shade only said that she was the one who helped him, but did not mention the relationship between Luvia and "The Whispering Poems". Luvia herself was not willing to let the witch know this secret.

So they walked together from the second floor to the first floor, and then walked in the courtyard. There are also many servants working in the courtyard at night. The darkness corrodes the plants and makes most of them wither. This is something that [Feliana's Witch's Light] cannot change, so the servants are pruning the flower beds.

Stepping into the courtyard, under the gentle moonlight overhead, Shade fully told what happened after he and Luvia parted ways at the manor.

Luvia looked slightly worried when she heard that the human pus used crystals to imprison the high-level warlocks; after hearing that Shad spit out [Weak Angel Potion], she and Iluna were still knocked away together, and she asked Shad in a low voice She heard that the [Dark Box] was out of control and Shade was swallowing the darkness in the darkness, and she grabbed Shade's arm tightly; she heard that little Mia took advantage of the chaos and stole the [Training Fish] that could make the devil speak. Ring], the girl with purple eyes smiled again and looked at the cat standing on Shade's shoulder, bathed in the moonlight.

Mia raised her head, her little pink nose pointed at the sky, and her amber eyes looked at the moon. Under the moonlight, this cat looks quite magical.

"Your cat is not normal."

The two of them turned around the flower bed and walked along the path through the flowers.

"Last time, it was definitely not me who turned it from a doll back into a cat while I was in a coma. It was very likely that it absorbed a bit of my power."

Shade touched Mia's head from behind, and the cat immediately made a soft meow:

"But this time, thanks to it, it climbed into the box without knowing when. Miss Carina checked it for me, and the cat is still normal."

As he was talking, he saw the [Metamorphosis Ring] and the [Fish Training Ring] strung on the cat’s tail:

"Mia is now 'two rings', and I am now three rings."

Shade said jokingly.

"Two and a half months and three rings."

She sighed softly, and then heard Shade mention something about the Witch Council. After hesitating for a moment, he did not say anything about being examined by Miss Carina.

"What knowledge did Miss Feliana leave for you in The Witch's Reverberation?"

She was very curious about this, and Shade shook his head:

"Some basic knowledge. Miss Feliana was at a point in time not long after she established St. Byrons. She gave me some basic knowledge of the Ring Warlock. I think this can make up for my basic knowledge."

He came to the Third Ring Road, but it was impossible to apply to the academy for promotion to the third grade. Because there is no exam week in the fall.

"However, the biggest gain this time, besides killing the second chosen one, is this."

Seeing no one around, Shade took out the Rhodes deck from his pocket under the moonlight, and then took out [Origin Darkness].

"Can you control [Origin Darkness] like you control [Origin Balance]?"

Luvia asked doubtfully.

"Not really, at least not for the time being. But look at this."

Shade pointed to the card, and Luvia looked at it for a long time before realizing that this card was particularly high-quality.

It is different from all other Rhodes cards, even [Origin·Balance] and [Origin·Silver Moon]. The card surface is more three-dimensional, as if it really contains an entire scene.

"How is this going?"

Luvia asked.

"This is what I found when I returned to the manor. It should be related to the killing of Darkness. However, the other me has captured the information, and I can probably guess what it is."

Shade took out his pocket watch from his pocket, opened the cover and took out the [Eternal Youth Leaf].

He had two leaves when he entered the [Dark Realm], and later completed the task of the key and obtained two more leaves. One piece of it was consumed by Iluna, one piece was in Luvia's hand, and the piece of [Breath of Time] was just returned by Tifa.

"You just did this to me, and you said you wanted to give me a very precious relic. This will make me think that we are doing an illegal transaction."

This was what the black-haired maid said when she was fastening the buttons. She insisted on letting Shade take back the leaves.

Therefore, now Shade has two leaves in his hand. The one in his hand at this moment is a leaf containing knowledge [a piece of true information-Dark Dungeon].

Raising his head to look at the starry sky, Shade placed the green leaves in front of his eyes.
