The Whispering Verses Chapter 1908: Nadia Foran


The test was successful. As long as Shade is willing to spend his soul to maintain the existence of the ship, he can make the ship exist no matter how far away he is. But without Shade boarding the ship, others could not move the ship with their thoughts like him, and could only drive the ship by rowing.

After further testing, it was determined that if Shade himself did not board the ship, it would not affect the ship's characteristics, that is, it is not easily damaged, is difficult to sink after being damaged, and can carry the undead.

The last and most important test is whether the boat summoned by Shade has the power to penetrate space.

Xia De himself had some guesses about this. The last time he used a boat to transport the old ship from the bottom of the lake, he found that his ship could repel the thick fog surrounding the island in the middle of the lake, which in itself was a symbol.

And that night, the space blockade imposed by Miss Sylvia with the help of the relics, as well as the spatial movement effect of her own thaumaturgy on the boat, also showed that at least for the space blockade of the relics and thaumaturgy, Shade's The ship is completely immune.

It's a pity that this old wooden ship can exist in the water. Once it leaves a similar scene, it will automatically disappear. Otherwise, if you move the boat, carry it, or even install pulleys on the bottom of the boat, the boat will be able to play a greater role.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shade left the boat with the two witches and Luvia to continue testing. He followed the Duin River upstream back to the city, preparing to meet the cultists of the [Dragon Feast Order].

Hold an umbrella and walk alone into the slums in the southeast of the city. The night rain quickly covered up Xia De's traces. No matter what the weather, entering urban slums at night is extremely dangerous. Rainy nights can mask some sounds and wash away the smell of blood. Shade really didn't expect that on his way to the appointment, he would be blocked in the alley by two people one after another and robbed. And the other party didn't hesitate at all. He came up and stabbed Shade in the abdomen with a knife.

So Shade was not polite, and the flying moonlight cut off two heads.

He was very curious about whether he was being plotted or was just unlucky, so he used thaumaturgy [Guiding Death] in the rain to channel the soul of one of them:

“We were originally porters at the docks, but trade cuts in Green Lake and the City of Glass cost us our jobs. We couldn’t find work in the city right away, but we needed gold pounds for our family and rent.”

The soul sluggishly told his identity and story, so Shade placed the two corpses next to the wall, waiting to be discovered during the day tomorrow. He expelled the soul and continued towards his destination.

The Barking Tavern in Black Dog Alley is the kind of tavern that Shade can imagine is located deep in the slums and must be involved in illegal business.

On a rainy night, most of the surrounding buildings had no lights. People in the slums were very concerned about the changes in the gas meter readings, but the window of this tavern still had a dim light. However, when Shade opened the door and entered, he found that there were actually not many people inside, and it was not as noisy as he imagined.

Men gather together to drink and talk about the bad weather, or gather around the table to play Rhodes. Beautifully dressed girls were sitting at tables against the wall. They were either chatting with their companions or ogling the men who were looking at them.

Shad who broke into the tavern on a rainy night only attracted the attention of a few people near the door.

He put away his umbrella at the door, looked at the dilapidated but obviously maintained tables and walls in the tavern, and then unexpectedly discovered that the person he was waiting for did not seem to be here:

"It's eight forty now."

After casually ordering a glass of ale, Shade took the wine glass and climbed the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor of the tavern. There are even fewer guests on the second floor. This bad weather really makes people reluctant to go out at night.

So he sat down in the corner, made sure that the gold and silver rings were on his fingers, took out a newspaper from his arms, and read it under the dim light.

At 8:56, footsteps came towards Shade, followed by the sound of a chair being pulled open and someone sitting down.

Shad put down the newspaper and looked at the lady sitting opposite, wearing a black leather jacket and a long black skirt. She has brown hair similar to Megan and Audrey, is in her thirties, and has vertical pupils in her eyes. When he looked at Sha De, he showed an expression of alertness and confusion.

And more importantly, when Shade tried to listen to her heartbeat, the bang bang bang~ beating sound he heard was extremely strong. It not only shook the air, but even disturbed the spirit and elements. This is definitely not what humans should have. heartbeat.

Looking at the silver dragon-shaped badge hanging on the opponent's chest, Shade nodded:

"Nadia Foran?"

The woman with a serious face and pursed lips seemed to be a rather stern person at first glance.

She also nodded:

"How do you make me believe that you are the caller of God and not just someone randomly hired by the church?"

Shad took out five small keys from his pocket. These keys came from the blacksmith, the mineralogist, Bad-Eye Barry, the boatman and the mayor. As for the key to Durut Giles, Meghan has already given it back to him.

"The only Edwards descendants found by the church so far are the Fulan brothers, and they only have one key. One from the Truth Club, one in your hand, and one in the [Tyranny Club]'s hands - that key is probably also in Truth now. There is one in the hands of the [Mirror Association]. There are eight of the thirteen keys left, and I brought five. Can this be proved?"

The three coins he did not mention are in the hands of Durut Giles, the Green siblings and the old ghoul.

The woman who looked less than thirty years old and had wet hair nodded:

"Although I know that your current appearance is an illusion, I am still surprised that you are so young."

"Ms. Fullan, what do you think I should look like?"

"More mature, with a neat beard, elegant but with a somewhat reserved arrogance."

For some reason, Shade immediately thought of Dr. Schneider.

He shook his head:

"Nice to meet you, so what are we going to talk about tonight? Although I don't mind staying late in the pub with a beautiful lady like you, but you also know that the situation is unstable now, and maybe the police Will rush in at any time to search for suspicious persons."

He tapped the newspaper he had folded at hand. The picture above was of the man who was caught with the steam bomb. He said nothing after his arrest, and Shade knew that MI6 would soon arrange for his disappearance to be justified.

"I want to talk to you about my ancestors."

The woman said, stretching her body forward slightly so that her entire face was exposed to the flame of the oil lamp on the table.

"You want to seek my asylum?"

After Xia De asked, he saw the contemptuous smile on the serious woman’s face:

"No, I never believe that others can protect me. Only I can protect myself. I just hope that you can get some information to increase the possibility of the ancestor's plan being destroyed."

"Give me free information? In fact, even if you propose a deal, I won't disagree."

Nadia Foran shook her head;

"You are right, it is not safe here, so I will keep my story short. You can decide for yourself whether you believe what I say next. But I believe you should understand that our order no longer uses space as a The selection thing comes first. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m a member of the Edwards family, I wouldn’t stay.”

"Then please tell me your information. What I am most concerned about now is whether I can follow the Edwards to the island as soon as possible and attend your family banquet."

"This is difficult to do without the consent of the ancestors. The power that isolates the two islands is very old, but you can try to force Edwards to stay by your side. No matter how the ancestors try to ensure that the disobedient The descendants will go to the banquet in time, and you will be the biggest threat to him at the moment."

This method is exactly what the witches are preparing, and the Green Lake Hotel is used as a base for this purpose.

“I don’t know much about how to enter and leave the island. Only the ancestors know the core secrets of the two islands best. What I want to remind you today is the set of alchemy cards made by the ancestors by imitating the angel-level relic [Poetry Cards]. Each card in that deck seals a monster that appeared due to the ancestor's experiment and the evil creature summoned by him, one of which you saw on the night of the lunar eclipse."

"Yes, I remember this. But that set of cards is just an alchemical item after all. Although it is powerful, it has its limits. What are you trying to remind me?"

"That deck is the escape route prepared by the ancestor for his failure. That deck can truly allow him to achieve a 'resurrection from the dead'. Therefore, if you have a chance to kill the ancestor, you must do it before that , destroying his deck."

"Oh?"

Xia De looked at her unexpectedly. The woman's face was uncertain in the flickering candlelight. The windows on the second floor of the tavern leaked air, but this made the room not very stuffy.

"You have told me the most important secret of the fortune teller."

"You need this secret, you are the person most likely to defeat him. Everyone in the family who has seen him knows how powerful he is, and you cannot ignore him at all."

"But have you ever thought about it, since the role of those cards is so important, why did he want you to know? Is there a possibility that he expected this?"

Nadia Foran nodded:

"The ancestor's divination skills are terrible. Maybe everything is really in the ancestor's plan, but this does not mean that I will succumb to his arrangement and the so-called family's destiny. One person is sublimated, and the others are Steps, ha~ I will make any preparations I can before the family banquet. The Order still needs me, and I cannot die in Green Lake."

"You are really pious. This is not sarcasm, it is a compliment."

Shade smiled, picked up the wine glass, and saluted her, but the woman ignored his action.
