Whispering Verse

After a simple wash, I went downstairs to get milk and goat's milk, and spent a few minutes preparing breakfast for Mia. Only then did the sleepy little Mia wake up.

Seeing Sha De getting dressed and going out, he stood up from the bed curiously, but Sha De had no intention of taking it with him:

"Mia, stay home and take care of yourself. Your breakfast is in the dining room. Wait for me to come back at home."

"Meow!"

The cat shook its head, jumped down the stairs on its short legs, and followed Shade to the first floor. The cat stood on the stairs and watched as Shade put on his shoes and hurriedly walked out of the warm and comfortable home into the morning light that had just appeared in the east.

Shade first went to the nearest Quill Street and found Dorothy who hadn't even gotten up yet.

The landlady who opened the door was wearing a coat over her pajamas and was determined not to let Shade go upstairs. Shade could only wait for her to find the sleepy Dorothy. The blonde girl, who was very careful about her image, wore a cloak to resist the chill of the early autumn morning. Although her hair was not combed, it still could not hide her beauty.

Dorothy jokingly said to Shade who was standing outside the door:

"When the landlady called me just now, I thought it was the editors of "Steam Bird Daily" who came to urge me to publish again. Is there anything you want so early? Or do you want to see my new pajamas?"

Although she was woken up, she was in a good mood to see Shade so early:

"How about the big city players? I haven't had time to read the newspaper yet."

"I won, but it's not important. Pack up as soon as possible and go to the doctor's place to gather."

Shade said with a serious face.

"What happened?"

Dorothy frowned, realizing that Shade was in big trouble.

"Priest Augustus is dead."

"What?"

Her eyes widened and she finally woke up.

Afterwards, Shade took a carriage to Luvia's rented apartment in the east of the city. The time was six thirty-three, and the purple-eyed girl had just gotten up.

Luvia's rented apartment didn't have a landlady guarding the door, so she could let Shade directly into her room on the second floor.

After opening the door, Luvia went to the bathroom to wash up in her unbuttoned pajamas. She asked Shade to wait in the living room. She thought Shade had come specially to invite her to have breakfast with him:

"Actually, you can come later. It's too early now. Lack of sleep is one of every girl's biggest enemies."

The purple-eyed girl's voice came from the bathroom.

"Something happened to Priest Augustus. You should quickly pack up and go to the doctor. We will meet at the doctor's place."

Shade said through the bathroom door, not intending to stay here. Speaking of which, this was his first time entering Luvia's home:

"I'm going to wake up the doctor first, please hurry up."

"What happened to Priest Augustus?"

Luvia opened the bathroom door and was no longer in the mood to joke with Shade:

"Counting the time, didn't the priest just arrive in Fort Midhill?"

"Priest Augustus is dead."

Shade frowned and said:

"But I'm not completely dead. I can still be saved. I need your help."

"What?"

She also couldn't understand this sentence.

"What? Priest August is dead?"

Dr. Schneider was also unable to understand this fact.

It was seven o'clock in the morning when Shade arrived at Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic. The doctor, who was having breakfast in the clinic, saw that Shade had come to visit so early. He originally wanted to make fun of the tabloid in his hand for mentioning the story of "Big City Player" last night. The final was slandered as a duel between "the Grand Duke's lover and the Grand Duke's lover".

But after hearing Shade's words, he was no longer in the mood to joke. The doctor put down the newspaper at the dining table:

"Detective, it's so early, you're not just here to make a joke, are you?"

Judging from his expression, the doctor desperately hoped that Shade would tell him that this was a joke.

"I haven't even had breakfast myself. Do you think I'm kidding, doctor?"

Seeing that Shade even buttoned his shirt wrong and looked like he was in a hurry, the middle-aged man sat at the dining table and covered his mouth in disbelief:

"Priest August is real"

"Wait a minute, when Dorothy and Luvia come, we will talk together."

He sat down at the table and glanced at the breakfast of the wealthy middle-class psychiatrist, but had no appetite at all.

The doctor covered his mouth, still unable to believe this fact. The morning light from the window illuminated half of the dining table and illuminated the newspapers on the dining table.

In the photo of Shad shaking hands with Mr. Cameron on the drooping page beside the table, Shad's blurred face showed a smile. But at this moment, he couldn't feel the joy of winning the big city player a dozen hours ago.

Soon Dorothy and Luvia arrived. In the doctor's reception room, Shade recounted his dream last night in full and swore that it was definitely real and that he was not hallucinating.

Because Shade had shown reliability in the past, the other three people in the team did not doubt him.

"So, Priest August, who has just arrived at Fort Midhill, is being held in a certain place, in a state of not being dead yet, but almost dying."

The doctor concluded, and Shade nodded:

"That's pretty much what it means. Fort Midhill is too far away from Tobesk, and the danger he encountered is too dangerous. There is no possibility of helping him. That's why the priest said as soon as he opened his mouth that he was dead."

"But no matter what, we can't ignore Priest August."

said Dorothy, with very anxious eyes.

Apart from the doctor, she is the one who has been in the group the longest and is very affectionate to everyone here.

"Yes."

Luvia calmed down and thought about it:

"Doctor, please notify the academy immediately and say that Luvia Anat, the sorcerer of this group, suddenly exploded the crystal ball while performing daily divination, and then saw some terrifying visions about Priest Lath August. I hope. The college can notify the local ring warlock team at Fort Midhill to confirm the priest's safety."

Although they couldn't travel half a continent to a distant border mountain town, the academy could. Moreover, the academy already knows that Luvia's divination is sometimes very accurate, so the academy will also take this matter seriously.

"Ok, no problem."

The doctor nodded, stood up and walked to his desk.

"Besides that, there is the Zhengshen Church."

Shade narrowed his eyes:

"Let's not alarm the church first. The priest is with the church. The local church must have discovered the priest's disappearance, so just let the college contact the church. And we have no reason to tell the church that something happened to Priest Augustus. Knowing these things is not the main reason why I am looking for you. In fact, I am looking for you because I want to go to Fort Midhill in person."

"What?"

The doctor who was writing a letter looked at Shade in surprise, Luvia frowned slightly, and Dorothy asked uncertainly:

"Didn't you say that you can only go to Coldwater Port?"

Shade showed her the hidden space in the basement.

"Yes, but I can try to go to more places. I need your help, and I need luck to achieve my goal in one go."

"Wait, I still don't understand!"

Dr. Schneider said from the desk.

"Specifically, using the rare mineral [White Stone Crystal], I can randomly establish a space transfer channel from Saint Teresa Square to somewhere in the world, but it can only be used by the owner of the [Space] Spirit Rune."

In fact, Iluna, the Chosen One, can also use it, but she needs to create the road signs herself.

"So, aren't the batch of wine from Coldwater Port that you gave me some time ago, and the materials you got from Coldwater Port, not very dangerous for space transfer? What method have you found?"

The doctor suddenly understood and finally understood what Xia De meant. He did not delve into Xia De's method:

"So you need luck to turn random transfers into fixed-point transfers."

"Yes, is there a way?"

Shade looked at the three of them. If there was really no other way, he could only try to use the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] illegally again, risking the consequences of being severely counterattacked by fate to try his luck.

The space left by the ancient gods is immune to most extraordinary effects. Therefore, even using [The Puppet Operator's Script] cannot affect the destination of the journey. It can only work by affecting its own effect.

Luvia shook her head:

"My divination doesn't work there."

Cost divination has no effect not only on gods, but also on the space left by ancient gods.

"I need to contact my friends at Zarath School of Literature. I don't have any solution at the moment."

Dorothy shook her head.

"No need to go to so much trouble. If it's just luck, I might have a way."

The doctor said casually as he sent the letter in his hand to the college through the poem pages.

"Doctor, I knew you met Shade because you used a relic that changed your luck!"

"No, absolutely not. My friends, you also know that Mr. Alan Madison of Sirkess Medical College has a relic in his hand that can affect luck. But a relic that affects luck must have a price."

The doctor looked at Shade seriously. Shade just thought for a moment and nodded:

"If it's to save Priest Augustus, I think I'm willing to take some risks."

"Okay, I'll go find Madison right now and meet at your house later."

said the doctor.

"Then I'll go find my friend in Zalas and see if she can provide any help. I'll meet at your house at twelve o'clock noon."

Dorothy also said.

"Then let me go home and prepare for the divination. At least I want to know what happened."

Luvia said very worriedly.

So the four people left separately. Before returning home, Shade sent a letter to Miss Carina to see if she had time to meet. Although Miss Carina's territory is in Saladir County, an area southwest of Delarian, the powerful Witch Council may also have power in Midhill Castle.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when he got home. Shade packed his things and planned to go out to the Tobesk Mining Association to buy the white stone crystal.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw the carriage stopping in front of his house, and Luvia was already here carrying a small suitcase.

"I'm going to buy white stone crystal."

"go together."

She placed the small box containing the divination tools in the foyer of Shade's house, and then she and Shade got on the carriage that had not left.

When the carriage moved forward slowly, Luvia stretched out her hand to Shade, and Shade looked at her.

"You know what I want to do."

The girl with purple eyes said.

Shade smiled and took out a coin from his pocket:

"But this time it's not blood money, it's a new coin. I got it last night. Luvia, please help me divine where I can find the blood of Priest Augustus in Tobesk City."
