The Whispering Verses Chapter 135: Fish scales, bombs and maids

"Miss Louisa, are you sure it's okay?"

Xia De asked while using [Moon Shadow’s Illusion]. Silver mist surged from all around, wrapping him and Miss Louisa in it. The silver moonlight on his fingertips disappeared. The fish-man faced the silver mist in front of him and screamed angrily, but he could only run rampant. Its IQ was probably not as good as that of little Mia.

"Detective, you can do it. What problem will I have? You will treat me later. You go and save the little girl first."

The blond lady said, and Shade nodded. When Miss Louisa took the initiative to step out of the illusion range to attract the fish-man, he slipped away from the fish-man with the box in his arms and ran towards the girl in the alley.

For ordinary people, an out-of-control relic is almost a fatal situation. Shade was originally prepared for the worst, but after a little inspection, he found that she was just unconscious and had a large scale on her neck. This could be cured. This kind of injury does not require [false immortality] at the moment.

It seems they arrived just in time.

He led the girl further into the alley. When he went to see Miss Louisa again, he saw the life ring spinning behind her. This time it was still the rune of "Frozen to Death".

But then, the Miracle Spirit Rune [Ice] also lit up.

Shad heard Miss Louisa's voice:

"The biggest fear of ichthyosis is not flames, but freezing!"

The blonde girl stretched her hands forward, and the cold air escaped around her. The sound of ???? came out in the mist-filled alley. The screaming fishman gradually slowed down until he fell to the ground.

"Detective, take her back!"

She said to Shade in the darkness.

"Retreat to where?"

"The further away the better, cover your ears and squat down."

"Huh?"

Although he was puzzled, he still did as he was told. When Shade made the move, he saw Miss Louisa take out a spherical object from her robe. First, she knocked it on the wall, then shook it vigorously, and finally pulled it He broke the ring on the surface of the spherical object, threw it towards the frozen fishman on the ground, and finally ran in panic to the depths of the alley, in the direction of Shade and the unconscious little girl.

Shadow saw behind Miss Louisa, the palm-sized spherical object, which started to spin around after landing on the ground, spewing hot white steam towards the surroundings as it spun.

Although he had never seen such an item before, the stranger's knowledge allowed him to guess what it was. Amid the soft laughter of the woman in his ear, he covered the ears of the unconscious little girl with both hands, while he curled up with the box and closed his eyes.

Bang~

The fire and loud noise were enough to wake up the two nearby blocks, and Shade even felt the ground beneath his feet shaking. After the explosion, my ears kept ringing.

Opening his eyes, he saw Miss Louisa jumping up after falling to the ground. She didn't bother to fix her hair and turned back into the smoke of the explosion. Within a few seconds, he carefully held a black scale and ran towards Shade, shouting as he ran:

"Haha, it is really afraid of the cold! He is dead and I got the [relic]! Detective, run! I will hold this little girl."

"What did you just use?"

Shade patted the dirt from his hair and turned around to follow Miss Louisa along the river embankment and into the fog. The police whistle could be heard in the distance. They had to run faster. Otherwise, he would have to throw himself into the river and escape.

"Military Drac II integrated steam bomb! This is the most effective way to deal with the out-of-control ichthyosis!"

Miss Louisa dropped the dried frog legs in her hands, carried the unconscious little **** her back, took Shade's hand, and jumped to the roof of the nearby house. The two people and the voice disappeared into the thick fog of the night.

No matter how chaotic the lower city is, it is not a trivial matter for a steam bomb to explode in the city, so they did not stop panting in an unlit alley until they ran three blocks away.

The sound of commotion in the distance has already begun, and groups of policemen can be seen hurriedly running past the alley.

First of all, we checked again the condition of the little girl being carried by Miss Louisa. She was probably a girl from a poor family living nearby. The shoes on her feet had exposed toes, the clothes on her body were patched, and her face looked... Haven't washed it in a long time.

Shad made some "full food" to suppress the spread of fish scales, and then used [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] to remove the fish scales from Miss Louisa and the girl at the same time. Although this is not a mental problem, the light of the silver moon seems to restrain this disease.

It's just that Shade is a first-level warlock, and he has used magic so many times this night that he feels it's too much.

During this period, Miss Louisa also introduced the situation of the fish scales that she carefully twisted in her hands.

The fishy smell on the fish scales was very strong.

“The clerical relic [Scales of the Drowned Fish], I have read the information about this thing in the college library. In 2983 of the Fifth Age, fishermen on the east coast of the Western Continent found something in their fishing nets while they were out fishing. A strange monster corpse was accidentally caught. The monster had human legs and a complete fish body, and the corpse was highly decomposed."

Xia De maintained his thaumaturgy and listened quietly. At close range, the scent of Miss Louisa was very obvious.

"According to college records, the horrified fishermen pushed the body back into the sea. But soon after, people in an entire small fishing village showed symptoms of ichthyosis, which means fish scales appeared on the surface of the body, and the entire body began to Rotten. When the Natural Church, which was not as powerful as it is now, intervened, the situation was irreversible and the only option was to seal off the sea and area.

This scale was discovered when the bodies of the deceased were subsequently burned to prevent the spread of the disease. These are the only scales that cannot be burned off and are the culprit of ichthyosis. ”

Miss Louisa held the black fish scale very carefully. No relic should be taken lightly. In the darkness of the alley, the fish scale itself has a deeper darkness.

Of course, the more obvious smell is fishy.

"So, the function of this relic is to cause ichthyosis and turn people into fish? But why does it get out of control?"

"Put the fish scales on your heart, and after contacting the water, the body can be transformed into the form of a fish-man monster. But you cannot be too injured in this form, otherwise the outbreak of ichthyosis will only last for a moment. Understandable Because every second the scales are used, the Ring Warlock must use his body to fight against the fish scales."

She asked for a bottle from Shade, shook it to create water, and put the scales in. Containing this relic is very simple, just soak it completely in water.

It took some time to expel the fish scales on the little girl and Miss Louisa before Shade completely lost his strength. There is no convenient way for a ring warlock to replenish spirit. After all, spirit is more than just energy. But fortunately, the spirit runes have the ability to spontaneously transform elements into spirits. Coupled with the afterglow of divinity, Shade recovered quickly.

Later, Miss Louisa woke up the unconscious girl, learned her address from her, and sent her back home.

This is a little flower seller named Sophie Deiss. During the day, she hid some money in an alley, not wanting to be blackmailed by the older kids in the neighborhood. Unexpectedly, when I came back to pick it up at night, I unexpectedly encountered a monster.

Miss Louisa used some means similar to mental suggestion to ensure that little Sophie would not tell anyone about what she saw at night. This trick was very effective for the confused little girl. After confirming that she arrived home safely, Shade and Miss Louisa left.

It's almost one o'clock now, Shade needs to go back as soon as possible. Miss Louisa planned to visit Shade's house late at night. She was now wrapped in Shade's robe, soaked to the skin, and there was a strong fishy smell on her body. She couldn't go home like this, so she could only Let's borrow some clothes from Xia De's house first.

The two of them walked quickly. On the way, Miss Louisa admitted that although she had obtained a [relic], tonight's operation could only be considered a failure:

"I think it's better to wait until the doctor recovers before taking action. The doctor's ring magician ability is quite suitable for conducting reconnaissance and spying on intelligence activities. None of us can compare with this."

The Ring Warlock of [Mercury Blood] turned into a murloc, was frozen, and was blown apart by a bomb. Of course, the information Miss Louisa wanted was unavailable.

The two walked and talked, and most of the time Miss Louisa complained that she had not seized such a good opportunity tonight. Of course, she did not forget to thank the detective for his help tonight. The fish scale was considered a trophy for the two of them.

Of course Shade would not refuse. Although he would not use a [relic] with such serious side effects, he would still be happy to accept it for a cent.

Turning from the street with the gas street lights on to the Ring of Saint Teresa Square, Shade was talking to the blond writer and taking the keys, but he saw a four-wheeled carriage with lights on the carriage parked at the door of No. 6 .

"Oh?"

Miss Louisa was wrapped in a robe and uttered an exclamation with a questioning meaning.

"My employer is here."

Xia De introduced, sizing up the carriage and slowing down. The fishy smell on his body was not very strong. He had not had close contact with the fish-men just now.

"It seems that your employer status is very important."

The blonde girl said that Shade couldn't see the difference between this carriage and an ordinary carriage, but the female writer with still wet hair could. She pointed out:

"Look at the all-metal manually twisted wrought iron patterns on the edges of the carriage. Although the carriage is painted, the wood can be distinguished. And the carriage driver..."

The coachman was standing aside smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, with a small red dot shining in the dark shadow:

"I bet he is definitely a soldier. Although the carriage does not have a family crest, it must be a big noble. No, ordinary nobles are not qualified to use this kind of carriage. Let me think about it, the current Tobesk City Among them, there are definitely no more than three women who are qualified to use this kind of carriage."

Miss Louisa talked happily, and Shade once again thought of Professor Harms Sanchez, the vice-president of St. Byrons, who had mentioned that Miss Louisa had a relationship with the royal family of the Kingdom of Delrayon. She was inexplicably involved, and therefore suspected that she was from Zarath Academy of Literature, one of the three major thaumaturgy academies.

Priest Augustus, who has lived here for most of his life and knows many important people because he is respected by his believers, cannot narrow the scope down to such a narrow range. It seems that Miss Louisa’s understanding of the royal family and nobility is really quite good. .

"You actually know so much?"

Xia De took the opportunity to express his question, but the female writer answered naturally and casually:

“For literary creation, I know a lot of useless knowledge.”

While the two were discussing, the car window was pushed open a crack. The black-haired maid named "Tifa" glanced at Shade and quickly closed the window.

The whole process only takes about one or two seconds.

"Oh? Why is it still her?"

Miss Louisa sighed like this again. Shade looked at his friend in surprise. The female writer seemed to recognize the maid.

She hesitated to speak and glanced at Shade, but said nothing:

"Detective, go see your employer. I won't come close. The fishy smell on me is too strong."

Miss Dorothy Louisa stopped, but judging from her expression, she must have a lot to say after Miss Carina's maid left.
