The Whispering Verses Chapter 159: Meeting with Carina
Waiting until Tifa, the maid at the door, closed the study door again, Miss Carina continued to speak. She said jokingly:
"Detective, I think you should be satisfied with this 'job'. Just take the money with peace of mind. MI6 is in a special situation. There are all kinds of agents. Although it is rare to get a salary for nothing, even if you are caught Nothing will happen."
"Miss Carina...thank you."
Xia De can only say thanks like this.
"Detective, that's what I like about you. You know what others have done, and you won't be stingy with your gratitude. Some people can't do such a simple thing. We will have many more cooperations in the future, Founder· The value of Silver Moon lies not only on the card table. You will gradually discover that with this card, you will gain a lot of unexpected friendships."
Xia De took this sentence as a farewell, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave. But unexpectedly, footsteps sounded from the room inside the study at this time.
He looked at the black-haired maid at the door of the study in surprise. The latter had no intention of urging him to leave immediately.
So he turned around and looked at the door inside the study. The door was pushed open from the inside. First, feet wearing high heels appeared, and then the skirt covered the feet. A young lady with long fiery red hair walked out of the room inside the study.
She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with fair skin, and her face under light makeup was as beautiful as a rose blooming in midsummer. She was wearing an exquisite black long skirt with lace and tulle decorations on the skirt. Because of the waistband, the curve of the body is particularly prominent.
The long fiery red hair was carefully braided and tied behind her head, and she was wearing a black round-top lady's hat, which was decorated with this layer of white tulle. Red hair is the symbol of the Cavendish royal family, and King Larousse III's title of "Fire Jumper" is related to this.
"Good evening, Detective."
Carina Cavendish greeted, her diamond earrings sparkling under the warm yellow gas light in the study. The eyes were actually a deep golden color, and Shade had never seen such eyes before.
"Good evening..."
With fair skin, a tall bridge of nose, and delicate cheeks, the other person had a beauty that was beyond human. This strangeness made Sha De swallow his saliva subconsciously.
"...Miss Carina."
The golden eyes looked at Shade. Shade did not dodge, but took the initiative to look at the beautiful lady in front of him. Only at close range did he realize that the other person was actually as tall as Sha De.
"But she was wearing high heels."
Xia De thought to himself.
After a while, the red-haired duchess took the lead to look away:
"Detective, do you have any more questions? If not, I think I should leave."
"Yes, there is one more question, you can decide if you want to answer it or not."
Xia De said that he knew that the other party was not infinitely generous to him, so for tonight's victory, he decided to get an additional answer to the question:
"I have become interested in ancient gods recently. Regarding the ancient gods, may I ask...is it related to the Witch Emperor?"
He did not directly ask about "The Whispering Psalm" and the chosen one to prevent him from misjudging the opponent's camp. He was not sure how the Witch Council viewed the Great Prophecy.
Miss Carina smiled, with slight dimples on her face:
"Everyone who knows us will be curious about this question, but this is a secret of the Parliament and the last secret of the Fifth Age. Detective, although I initially trusted you, you are not a witch, and you are not us. ”
Xia De nodded, knowing it couldn't be that simple. But unexpectedly, Miss Carina suddenly said:
"But you can know the answer to this question if you become us... become a woman."
Shad's head immediately shook like a rattle, and then he heard the black-haired maid at the door, Miss Tifa Servit, covering her mouth and laughing softly. Miss Carina also laughed:
"Of course I am joking. The Parliament only accepts pure women, without exception. Detective, although you cannot become a member of the Witch Parliament, you will be protected by me, Carina Cavendish. . Although my relationship with them is not very good, with this status, no one in the parliament will make things difficult for you."
As he said that, he actually took the initiative and grabbed Shade's wrist.
Xia De was stunned, not to mention that many people have mentioned that "the great witches in the Witch Council generally hate men." Even if they don't hate men, it is not a normal behavior to casually grab a man's wrist like this.
"What's wrong?"
He asked, freeing his wrist. Miss Carina glanced at the palm of her hand, shook her head slightly, then walked to the door, turned her back to him and said:
"Detective, if necessary, I will send someone to find you. When Tifa sends you the [relic], you will also get my contact information... The last Witch Emperor of the Fifth Age They have indeed inherited the power of the thirteen ancient gods. As for the great witch of the Sixth Age... I will tell you next time."
Miss Tifa Servit, the maid, opened the door and, together with the servants waiting outside, led Miss Carina out of the study.
Xia De stood in the study, listening to their footsteps gradually disappearing in the corridor, and it took a long time before he let out a sigh of relief.
He frowned and asked in his heart:
"Her attitude towards me is very strange. Is there anything else in me that I haven't discovered that might be beneficial to her? Was there any magic or spells used when she grabbed my hand? Signs of use? ”
He still has this kind of vigilance.
[No. 】
He nodded and stared at the study carpet at his feet, recalling every detail of the meeting between the two:
"Furthermore, there is something wrong with that Miss Carina. I am now considered an introduction to occult science, and the elements on her body are a bit strange... What did you feel when you were at close range just now?"
[For ordinary ring wizards, even if they specialize in a certain field, such as your writer friend, the four elements are generally balanced, but she is different. 】
"Is it unbalanced? That's it."
Then I got a further answer:
[Carina Cavendish’s whispering element is almost the sum of the other three elements. But she is indeed a human being, not a humanoid relic. 】
"Whispers? Could it be that this is the special way of taking office mentioned by the doctor? Using relics to take office? No, you can't just guess."
Xia De looked at the door:
"Witch Council, witch...could it be said that the last thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era and the thirteen chosen ones of this era all have the same mission? But that's not right, Although the history books of the academy are vague about the changes in eras, there is indeed no emergence of any 'door', and there is no such thing as a huge change between the fifth and sixth eras..."
Thinking about these things, he walked out of the study.
