Whispering Verse

"It doesn't matter if you burn it. Although it's expensive, it's not unaffordable."

Lesia said nonchalantly, and when she heard her sister say this, Agelina's lips also showed a smile:

"Mr. Hamilton, Sister Lecia is very rich. She spent a lot of money to buy a ruby ​​necklace some time ago."

She consciously closed her mouth.

Afterwards, after Shade went to brush his teeth and wash his hands briefly, Lesia asked Shade what he thought of the story, and then gave Shade a few books to read.

There are many spiritual runes corresponding to [Sleeping Princess]. Circle sorcerers like Lesia and Dorothy, who are good at enlightenment elements, can obtain a variety of spiritual runes from them, and Lesia must ensure that Shade obtains 【Sleep】.

The one-hour lecture was held in the study room. The maids and Agelina were ordinary people and could not listen to these contents. So Agelina looked around Shade's house, and finally read "The Queen and Her Lovers" on the bedside of Shade's bedroom on the sofa.

When Lesia and Shade walked out of the study together and saw what their sister was looking at, she immediately scolded her:

"Agelina, what are you looking at?"

Shade rarely saw Lesia angry, and Agelina was obviously very afraid of her sister. She stood in front of the sofa with her head lowered and her hands behind her back, not daring to speak.

"Also, Shade, why do you have such a book?"

After scolding her sister, Lesia looked at Shade again. . . Although "The Queen and Her Lovers" is a legal publication, it is the kind of book that has a very good reputation and contains many color descriptions in legal publications.

"Well the situation is complicated."

Shade tried to explain, but if he really had to explain, I'm afraid the two princesses would have to have lunch here. After all, clarifying the relationship between Sparrow Hamilton, Gray Eagle, and Shade cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"A man of this age is really..."

She complained softly, and then asked:

"What time is it now?"

The maid standing by the wall immediately took out her pocket watch and checked:

"Your Highness, it is now eight twenty-nine minutes in the morning."

"Take the carriage back to Yodel Palace from here, which will take up to ten minutes, and then subtract ten minutes for makeup, which means there are still ten minutes left."

Lesia nodded, asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to work first, and then pulled Shade to sit on the sofa.

She and Shad sat together, Agelina sat on the small sofa to the side, and the cat lay on Shad's lap.

"what are you up to?"

Seeing the way the red-haired girl looked at him, Shade smelled something dangerous. He had seen similar looks in the eyes of the girls around him many times.

"Didn't I say it last time? This time, I hope I can use my own lips."

Her right hand reached to the back of Shade's head, then she hugged Shade and kissed him. He pressed his body down little by little, and finally pressed Shade directly onto the back of the sofa. The expensive dress didn't mind the wrinkles at all. It was in contact with Shade's clothes on the slightly cheap sofa. The long red hair almost covered Shade's ears.

This forced Mia to jump on the coffee table and meow at the two of them, probably because she wanted to protect Shade.

"Sister Lecia really likes kissing."

The little princess said, her face turned red and she wanted to get up to avoid it, but she heard a vague voice saying:

"Sit here until we leave."

This is Lesia's voice.

"Why?"

"Your punishment."

Agelina snorted:

"Really."

But she still sat down and looked at the two shameless people opposite her with a blushing face.

"How do I feel that you came here this morning not for my homework, but for this ten-minute kiss?"

This was what Shade whispered into Lesia's ear when he sent the princess and her party downstairs.

“In a busy life, is there anything wrong with rewarding yourself occasionally?”

Lesia asked. The maids who were walking at the front were holding two wine bottles in their hands. They were gifts that Shade had prepared for the princesses after he discovered that the fruit wine he brewed was very good.

After bidding farewell to the two princesses, Shade took a cold shower at home to calm down. After preparing lunch for Mia, he set off again to Fort Midhill.

Walking out of the ruined tower, I took a breath of fresh air on the Sikal Mountain. First practice swinging the sword a hundred times in the open space in front of the tower, and then go down the mountain to the city. The weather in Fort Midhill today was not very good. I felt strong winds in the mountains, and the sky was also gloomy.

When we arrived in the city, the gloomy sky combined with the city's smog. It was clearly ten o'clock in the morning, but the sky was terrifyingly dark. In addition to the familiar burnt smell in the air, there was also a strong smell of moisture, as if it was going to rain.

Shade held a copy of the "Sikal Post" and stood at the corner of Santa Carla Avenue and Oak Street, waiting for the priest. The appointment time was around ten o'clock, but Shade didn't see the priest coming in a hurry until half past ten. ;

"Sorry, there's just too much going on at church."

He gave Shade two kraft paper document bags:

"One is your thaumaturgy, and the other is Hazama's message."

After saying that, he just exchanged greetings with Shade about the bad weather today and told him how to contact each other at Fort Midhill. Priest Augustus hurriedly returned to the church. It seemed that he was really happy here. busy.

Shade, who was holding two document bags, found a nearby pub facing the street and sat down to check the information on the two documents. Among them, Priest Augustus actually gave four pieces of thaumaturgic information related to [True Death]:

The first one, [Peering into the Eyes of Death], is a passive thaumaturgy. When encountering an object that is bound to die within three days, you can see a strange black air flow from the opponent's body. This thaumaturgy is not only about death but also about destiny, but this glimpsed death can be changed. Once successfully changed, those black drafts will disappear, but generally this is difficult to do.

This is a high-level thaumaturgy that can only be learned by people with at least eleven levels, but the priest knows that Shade has many thaumaturgy skills that low-level magicians should not know, so he informed him of this thaumaturgy and wanted Shade to try his luck. .

The learning requirements for [Peering into the Eyes of Death] are not high. It only requires that you have the power related to the eyes. Otherwise, peeping into death will cause death to peek in the opposite direction. As for the ritual materials for thaumaturgy learning, Priest August estimated that they cost around 70 pounds, which is quite cheap compared to its effects.

"Seeing the fate of death can change the fate of death?"

Shade immediately shook his head:

"No, no, no, this thaumaturgy is too dangerous."

He has long since learned to fear fate, and it is better not to know some things. He is more willing to face unknown but exciting life and adventures.

[What’s the truth? 】

"I am already extremely afraid of things like changing my destiny. I can even imagine that one day I suddenly see a black air current appearing on the person next to me. After all the efforts to save him, the other person still died due to a ridiculous accident at the last moment. So, instead of changing, it is better to adapt to fate and believe that you can write your own destiny."

The second one, [Death Inspiration], before oneself encounters the fate of imminent death, inspiration can capture some hints.

For example, if you are going to be burned to death, you may see some strange illusions in the flames when facing the stove; if you are going to be stabbed to death with a sharp weapon, you may be accidentally stabbed to death while using a table knife. Cuts; if fallen from height

"No, no, no, this kind of magic is not suitable for me. If you predict your own death in advance, you will only be tricked by death in advance."

Shade shook his head again and turned to the next page without even finishing reading the information about this magical technique.

He sincerely hoped that the next thaumaturgy provided by the priest would no longer be related to predicting the death of others or his own death. Rather than predicting death, he prefers thaumaturgy that can easily send others to "real death."
