The Whispering Verses Chapter 1136: The fifth road sign

Putting down the thick roll of parchment, Shade found the ice crystal pendant from the pile of toys and pendants on the bedside table.

Shadow looked at the pendant blankly, held it in his hand, and thought of Miss Chloe's appearance.

Of course he knew how the silver-haired and red-eyed witch felt about him when she said her final goodbye, but Miss Chloe was also the witch who was farthest away from the outsider's life.

After sighing slightly, he placed the ice crystal pendant next to the three slightly glowing stone slabs. After stroking the stone slab with his fingers, he hugged the cat and took [Iken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] to find Tifa.

It was already dark at this time, and from the corridor of the manor, you could see the falling fine snow dancing under the moon.

During the period when Miss Carina was "on bed rest", Tifa and her team of secretaries were responsible for all affairs in the manor. When Shade saw Tifa, she had just finished arranging tomorrow's schedule in the study.

Seeing Shade enter, Tifa asked Miss Carina's personal maids to leave temporarily. The young girls greeted Shade with a smile, and then whispered about the rumors about Shade's relationship with the head maid.

When the door was closed, Xia De gestured with the arrow:

"Tifa, do you need new powers?"

He briefly explained the current function of this arrow and attributed this new function to the blessing given by Miss Feliana.

Although Miss Carina is not here, Tifa does not sit in the main seat behind the desk, but puts another chair next to the elegant velvet backrest chair:

"No one will refuse new power."

She said with a smile.

"Then I'm going to stab you, please roll up your sleeves."

Xia De shook the arrow and said, the maid thought for a moment, unbuttoned her chest and looked at Sha De, then pointed to the velvet chair, which was Miss Carina's chair. , motioning for Xia De to sit down:

"But, Shade, can you remove the blood stains for me?"

Little Mia was placed on the desk by Shade, and she looked at the two people in the room curiously. Shade pursed his lips slightly, and Tifa looked at him with a blushing expression:

"In order to come back before the end of the year, Speaker Isabella will reward Miss Sylvia for her contribution this time, and will ask Miss Sylvia to cooperate with the power of the parliament to open a direct channel for Miss to come back. This cannot be done. Used often. She will be back this time tomorrow, Sunday night."

As he spoke, he looked at Shade with his black and brown eyes:

"Knight, the Duke's maid can only serve when her master leaves"

Shad sat down on the velvet armchair, and Tifa opened the left front. The brass-colored arrow with the warmth of Shad's palm pierced Nai's white skin. Amidst the slight cry of pain, there were round blood stains. Slightly seeped out.

Shad took away the arrow, and when Tifa's life ring automatically appeared behind her, she hugged Shad's head again. Since the Duke is not here, the maid also wants to relax for a while.

In short, Tifa did not obtain thaumaturgy, but obtained a brand new enlightenment rune [Pain]. All the spiritual runes of the sixth ring are complete, and she can perform a ceremony to advance to the seventh ring.

"Meow~"

The cat stared at the life ring, then worried that Shade would be suffocated to death.

Luvia was actually right to let Shad stay at Miss Carina's manor to rest, because Shad had not fully recovered yet. It was an indescribable feeling, just like ordinary people who didn't get enough sleep.

However, given that "the coma after divinity overflows" and "the weakness after forcibly using the word of sublimation" are superimposed on each other, the state at this time is normal.

Before eight o'clock in the evening, Shade went back to the bedroom to rest. The maids prepared late-night snacks and hot tea for him. The gas lamp in the bedroom and the cherub-shaped gas table lamp on the bedside were also very bright.

Mia was lying next to the pillow, being touched by Shade from time to time, while Shade was holding the roll of parchment and reading it carefully, trying to pick out some interesting thaumaturgy and spells to learn.

The atmosphere at night was very peaceful, and Xia De felt that as long as he had a good rest, he would probably be able to return to normal tomorrow. There are still many things to do in his hands, the perfume vial of desire, the ritual to enhance time perception, the dream ritual prepared for him by Dr. Schneider, and the wordless black book of Miss Denister.

I thought that I was always busy, but I decided to take care of these things and enjoy the New Year Festival starting next Tuesday. He even wanted to postpone the use of the next key so that he could have a good rest in the first half of early 1854.

While I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and then the door was opened. Shade heard the sound of small square-heeled leather shoes stepping on the floor. This was the standard attire of maids in the manor. They usually wore uniform white cotton socks under their shoes. It is said that the maids in Duke Carina's palace in Saladir County all dress like this.

Xia De knew that this was the maids coming to buy tea again, so he didn't pay attention, but soon footsteps came to the bedside, and a familiar voice asked softly:

"Mr. Hamilton, Miss Servit asked me to come and sleep with you tonight."

"No, no, I don't need it"

I was curious about how Tifa could arrange such a thing, and I was about to put down the parchment in my hand. Unexpectedly, my fair hand took away the roll of parchment, and then the girl in maid uniform bent down to kiss the bed. On to Shad.

Shade's eyes widened, and after pushing her away, he saw that it was Luvia. However, at this time, Luvia was wearing a black and white maid dress, and even her brown shawl hair was styled in a way that maids could move easily.

She clasped her hands together and hung them in front of her chest, and asked Xiang Shade with a smile:

"Mr. Hamilton, should I stay?"

As he spoke, he lifted up his right leg wearing white stockings and placed it on the bed, then lifted up the other leg as well. She knelt on the bed and looked down at Shade. Shade heard the rhythmic sound of two small black leather shoes falling on the carpet beside the bed.

"Well, where did this dress come from?"

"I borrowed it from Tifa, but unfortunately I can't wear her clothes. We are about the same height, but fortunately, the most indispensable thing here is this kind of clothes. The other maids helped me find this one, but unfortunately I won’t admit it, but this dress is more complicated and beautiful than I thought.”

Luvia's face turned red:

"However, I heard some rumors from other maids in the manor. Did you have a good afternoon, Mr. Knight?"

There is no secret in the place where the girls gather. No matter how hidden Tifa and Shade are, they cannot completely hide it from others. Shade didn't know how to answer, so the purple-eyed girl said seriously:

"Mr. Hamilton, this is Miss Servit's kindness, but I refuse it."

"Well, I do need a maid to sleep with me."

Shade was very embarrassed to say such words, and the stranger blamed himself in his heart for how he had become such a person.

So, the "maid" Miss Luvia Anat kissed Shade a little "clumsily". This night will probably be interesting. Little Mia, who was woken up, probably wouldn't think so.

Early on Sunday morning, Shade felt that he had almost recovered. After breakfast, he went into the city with Luvia and Tifa who happened to be going to Yodel Palace for some business.

First, he sent Luvia to the Prophet's Association, then said goodbye to Tifa, and agreed to meet again tomorrow afternoon. After returning to his long-lost home, Shade stored all the relics and special items he had brought with him. Then he "trapped" the grumpy cat with four rings, and specifically allowed it to carry four rings with its tail at once, before going alone from the basement to the island in the middle of the lake in the center of the Everglades.

The way little Mia walks around the house with four rings jingling is really interesting.

When returning home early Thursday morning, Sister Devlin helped Shade touch the statue of the ancient **** under the lighthouse on the island in the middle of the lake. Therefore, on his [Space Maze] path, he was in the "Tobesk-Saint Teresa" In addition to "Plaza", "Coldwater Port - Underwater Cliff Cave", "Fort Midhill - Abandoned Tower in the Mountains" and "Huntington - White River Valley Vineyards", there is a fifth road sign "Pantanal - Center of the Lake" Island Lighthouse".

The size and shape of the hidden space under the lighthouse is exactly the same as the other five places, except that there is a stone gray bookshelf, but there is nothing on the bookshelf.

Shad showed his life ring and opened the way to leave. Outside was the basement of the lighthouse. Unlike the basements in the mountains of Cikal, which don't even have stairs, the basement of this old lighthouse is still in use, and the Pantanal Voodoo Club used to store tools for repairing the light fixtures and spare fuel here.

He walked along the steps to the first floor of the lighthouse, and suddenly saw the light outside the lighthouse door in the darkness, making Shade squint and raise his arm.

And in that light, with her back to him, a gray-haired lady wearing a gray nun's robe, her hair braided in overlapping braids hanging behind her, a silver eyepatch on her face, and a gray waistcoat draped over her shoulders, turned around He came forward, smiled and bowed slightly to him.

At this time, the light around the nun revealed the scenery outside the lighthouse, illuminated by the mild winter sunshine. Shade was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved and walked over:

"Good morning, Sister Devlin!"

Now the entire island in the middle of the lake is affected by the curse of the Pantanal evil, so the church has not set up a camp on the island in the middle of the lake. The camp is on the outside of the lake. The only ones who can go to the island to check the situation are thirteen-ring warlocks and a few twelve-ring warlocks from the Church of Nature and the Church of the Sun.

Therefore, with Sister Devlin accompanying him, Shade does not have to worry about being discovered by the church. Shade also informed the nun that the purpose of his trip was to meet a level 0 relic.

The nun had heard about the legend of [Desire], and after careful consideration, she decided to follow Shade to see him.
