The Whispering Verses Chapter 177: With Bayas

Now that he had a chance to chat, Shade told what happened last night, a rainy night. Shade kept his promise not to take away any irrelevant relics, and Miss Bayas also reported the names of the two people to the church this morning.

The team of ring magicians that Miss Bayas belongs to was not arranged to deal with this matter, but she also heard from her captain that the correspondence ring magicians broke into Mr. Ponton’s house last night and killed [Mercury of Mercury] The killer of "Blood" walked away in a hurry.

"Detective, I guessed it must be you. Your friends are really powerful. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, the other party had almost no chance to fight back."

She sighed and looked out the window.

“Isn’t it normal for three to fight one to win easily?”

Xia De asked while flipping through the book, and then gave a vivid example:

"The opponent is only a fourth-ring warlock, and the strength gap with us is not as big as the strength gap between the mouse and little Mia, so when we found out that he did not leave, he had already lost."

Miss Bayas turned her head and glanced at the cat taking a nap on Shade’s lap:

"Actually, the difference in strength between your cat and the mouse shouldn't be that big. It doesn't look like the kind of cat that can catch mice..."

Miss Bayas said, holding a teacup in her hand:

"Now that we've talked about this topic, did you get any additional information from the killer? For example, the location of the silver-eyed man."

"I just wanted to tell you that there is a ring warlock in our team who is very good at interrogating information. Unfortunately, the killer doesn't know where the silver-eyed one is hiding. But it can be confirmed that... The silver-eyed man injured by the masked man under the silver moon is difficult to recover from, so he doesn’t even trust the people in his own organization."

He almost said he was here, but fortunately Miss Bayas didn't hear it.

"Good news, this will make it more likely that I will take revenge with my own hands."

The sorceress commented.

“Oh, we also discovered the location of [God’s Gift Box].”

Xia De said again, waving to the fluttering snowflakes, and denser snow fell. Snowfall has almost no consumption on him. It is not a thaumaturgy, it is just a slight function of the mystery lock. It is a natural phenomenon caused by the interference of Shade's elements in reality. It is more mysterious than thaumaturgy.

Miss Bayas waved her hand with her back to Shade:

"There is no need to tell me the exact location. Once the church knows the location of the relic, it will definitely look for it, and it will definitely succeed. But in this case, the Silver Eyed One might leave Tobesk, and I don't want to I know where to find him."

She has full confidence in the Zhengshen Church, and this confidence is justified. Even if the man with silver eyes was not seriously injured, a person like him would not be considered a big threat in a large diocese where there were several warlocks of level ten or above.

Xia De nodded and suggested:

"But after the matter is over, we can agree on a time and tell the church and college about this sage-level relic almost at the same time. In this way, everyone can get the reward."

Miss Bayas looked back at him unexpectedly, looking at Shade with her beautiful eyes:

"Detective, you... really have an idea."

In addition to Shade telling what happened last night, Miss Bayas also shared with Shade all the big and small things in Tobesk Diocese. The church's ring magicians definitely know more information than the academic ring magicians, and Miss Bayas focused on the Lakeview Manor incident and what happened last Saturday night.

With the promotion of the church, more investigations were conducted into the above incidents, including the relics going out of control and the origin of the evil god. Basically, everything was clarified. Unfortunately, the church is currently tracking down the fish scale within the diocese, hoping to find clues about the "high-circle warlock" who cast the mystery chain.

As a result, it will be even harder to sell the fish scales in Miss Louisa's hands.

"Detective, what did you do just now? A commission?"

Miss Louisa is also curious about her chance encounter with Shade.

"No, I just came out of the Prophets Association and met Mr. Stan, the president of the Tobesk branch."

Shad said while holding the book. Mia was lying on his lap in a long strip. The cat’s chin was pressed against Shad’s leg. For some reason, it liked this position very much.

"Mr. Stan? Oh? He's actually back?"

Miss Bayas was very surprised by this incident. She even temporarily relaxed and observed the actions outside, then turned around to chat with Shade:

"Mr. Addis Stan can be regarded as the most powerful diviner resident in Tobesk Diocese. Although he only has ten rings, his divination level is quite high. I heard that he was commissioned by the Creation Church not long ago. Go to the countryside of Tobesk to assist the 'Iron Right Hand' Sari Pilot in dealing with the incident of the angel-level relics going out of control. Now that he is back, I think Mr. Pilot will be back soon, plus we will be back tomorrow. When the church’s Thirteenth Ring Warlock arrives in Tobesk, there will be two Thirteenth Ring Warlocks in this diocese.”

This is the first time that Shade has heard about the cooperation between the Prophet Association and the Orthodox Church, but he is concerned about another point:

"Is Mr. Stan's level of divination very high? In fact, I asked him to help with divination today, but he didn't seem to use any magician's methods."

He put the book down and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Stan's level of divination is certainly very high. If I give you an example..."

Miss Bayas thought for a while:

"If there is only one person in the city of Tobesk who can divine the location of the Silver Eyed One, it must be him. But the detective, a skilled diviner, can divine even without the ability of a ring wizard. This is a gift, of course. , it may also be the unique ability of his 'other self', but Mr. Stan has always been cautious, and as long as he makes a divination, there is a high probability that it will come true... What did he divination for you?"

The young girl with long brown hair curiously inquired:

"Good news or bad news?"

"He said he saw a knight."

Xia De is still confused about this.

"Knight? Is this some kind of metaphor?"

Miss Bayas asked in confusion. Seeing that Shade couldn't give an answer, she looked at Shade's face again and changed the topic:

"There is something I have always wanted to ask you. I just remembered not long ago that the first time we met was probably at that pet store, right?"

"Yes, why bring this up?"

Xia De asked puzzledly.

"I never remembered the first time we met, not because I forgot, but because your face was a little different from the first time we met."

The girl with long brown hair frowned slightly.

"I look different?"

He touched his face in confusion, and then remembered that Old John had said something similar last night.

"No, it's not a big change, just some subtle differences."

Miss Bayas squinted her eyes and thought for a moment:

"People who meet you often, or you observe every day, probably can't feel it at all. But we only met again a week apart. At Lakeview Manor, didn't you pretend to be hypnotized by the captain? At that time, didn't you pretend to be hypnotized by the captain? I didn’t recognize you because we just passed each other by chance the first time, but your face looked a little different the second time.”

"Is there such a thing?"

He put the lazy cat on the sofa, ignored its dissatisfaction, and walked quickly to the bathroom. He could see his face in the mirror every day when he washed his face, and he didn't notice anything different.

"To put it simply, he is probably more handsome than before. I don't mean anything else, this is the truth."

Miss Bayas's voice continued to come from the kitchen.

"Handsome?"

Xia De stretched his head in front of the sink to look at his face in the mirror. The original ex-tramp's face could only barely meet Shade's aesthetic standards. As for handsomeness, he didn't see much of it.

But this time, the face shape is still the same as before, and the appearance... is indeed much more handsome than before. What's more important is that from a certain angle, he vaguely saw traces of his own face on this typical Caucasian face.

It's not very obvious. Just like what Miss Bayas said, it's just that the face that was originally pretty has some subtle changes. These subtle changes made the face of the stranger look... somewhat handsome.

Since Miss Bayas said that when she saw Shade in the garden maze of Lakeview Manor, Shade's face was already a little different, then this must not be because of that drop of divinity. Divinity is in It only appeared after the second encounter with Miss Bayas.

"Is it because the soul affects the body?"

He thought suspiciously in his heart, and then asked the voice in his heart.

[Maybe so. 】

She whispered in her ear.

"This shouldn't be a bad thing, right?"

He looked at the face in the mirror. After coming to this strange world for more than half a month, he had basically accepted this appearance:

"As long as the change is not too obvious, it is not a bad thing."

Finally make this conclusion.

The two got along quite happily all afternoon. Shade vaguely felt that on the road to becoming friends, allies and even close collaborators with Miss Bayas, he was probably more powerful than Purple Eyes for some reason. The fortune teller is faster.

Miss Bayas even took the initiative to mention Miss Anat in front of Shade:

"Detective, if you still want to do divination, I recently met a very good fortune teller. Although I am not sure whether she is a magician, she can probably help you. I may have the opportunity to introduce you to each other, but... ...."

Miss Bayas hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Xia De picked up the water glass and prepared to drink water.

"However, I always feel that the beautiful female fortune-teller approaches me with other purposes. It is not malicious, but it is strange. I just feel that she has other purposes...Does she like it? Me?"

Shad, who was drinking water, almost spit out the water in his mouth. But despite this, he still choked and coughed. While his body was shaking, he woke up the cat from his nap. It stood up from Shade's lap neatly and "meowed" at Miss Bayas. It didn't lose its temper because it was almost time for the cat to take its usual walk at home.

"So, do you think I have any other purpose in approaching you?"

After coughing a few times, Shade could only change the subject in order to prevent the good impression that Miss Anat had worked so hard to establish in front of Miss Bayas from being destroyed.

"You approach me? Isn't it me who approaches you every time?"

Miss Bayas said strangely, and then counted again and again:

"It was a chance encounter at the pet store. You wished you could stay away from us in Lakeview Manor. I took the initiative to come to you that day at the Lucky Southern Cross Club. I also took the initiative to ask for your help that night when you played Rhodes. Today is A true chance encounter. Detective, when have you ever approached me?"

She turned her back to Shade and chuckled:

"Speaking of which, sometimes I even feel that you are avoiding me every time you talk to me."
