The Whispering Verses Chapter 2361: New Transaction
Chapter 2361 New Transaction
Close your eyes and then open them again, which not only means the arrival of another Friday, but also the end of the Thunder Moon, the arrival of the Flower Moon, and the slightly cold summer has officially entered the second half.
"What was I doing this time last year?"
He murmured, sat up, and opened the bedroom curtains with a wave of his fingers.
"Shad, is it raining outside?"
The sleepy blonde girl lying beside asked softly, and greeted softly in the sound of rain:
"Lecia also asked me to say good morning to you. It's already August. I've only written the beginning of this month's manuscript."
While having breakfast, Shade told Miss Carina and Dorothy what happened in Moon Bay yesterday. After breakfast, Shade took the cat to Moon Bay again, but he did not immediately change the cat back from the toy state because he was going to visit a dangerous "person".
Count Dalmanin's residence is located in the westernmost part of Yuewan City. When he walked straight uphill to the outside of the manor, he saw a lonely building standing under the clouds. Shade felt that even if this place was not taken by the mermaid, it would definitely be taken by other weird things in the future.
The beautiful and enchanting countess is already waiting for Shade with her equally beautiful maids. Although they still said some provocative words when leading him to the elevator in the basement, they did not dare to delay Shade's meeting with his "master".
The ancient elevator made a series of sounds when it was operating. After reaching the bottom and walking out the door, you will see the rocks protruding toward the sea under the sea cliff.
Xia De restored the pink crystal from the toy, bent down and placed it at the end of the reef, then took a few steps back. Then white mist suddenly rose under the gloomy sky, and the white mist quickly enveloped the surroundings.
When it was so thick that Shade could no longer see the sea in the distance, a sound like a big fish swimming appeared under the water near the reef. With a pop-dong sound, the beautiful star The head of the black-haired woman emerged from the sea.
The water droplets crossed the shallow fat-red birthmark between the eyebrows, and the purple eyes looked at Shade on the reef with a charming look:
"You are indeed as capable as I thought."
The waves surged up and swallowed up the pink crystal. When the wave receded, the crystal disappeared and was replaced by a high-end-looking red wooden gift box.
The box automatically flew in front of Shade. After opening it, he found that inside the soft velvet lining lay not the dragon scales that Shade had imagined, but a roll of parchment tied with a red ribbon.
He reached out and took the parchment, opened it and glanced at the content on it, then said:
"Actually, just tell me directly. There is no need to prepare a special box and parchment."
The charming face in the water is smiling:
"Little boy, this is called ritual, why don't you even understand this?"
She did not directly give the promised dragon scale to Shade, but told him the location and history of the dragon scale.
To be specific, it was a piece of silver dragon scale, belonging to the "Silver Family", which is engaged in the shipbuilding business in Moon Bay, but has never been able to compete with the Avora Family in Carsonlik. of that family.
Dragon Scale is not within the city limits of Yuewan, but on a small island outside Yuewan Port. According to the records on the parchment, about 1,200 years ago, at the beginning of the Sixth Era, the Moon Bay region experienced a major turmoil.
The Silver family, which was still in its heyday at that time, was worried about the extinction of the family, so some members of the family took the family's treasures to take refuge at sea first. As a result, the local people who stayed in Moon Bay successfully survived the turmoil, but the Silvers who went out to sea encountered a once-in-a-century storm, and both people and ships disappeared into the vast sea.
The wrecked ship carried the piece of dragon scale that ordinary people did not know the specific value of. After all the changes, it is now quietly buried on a small island not far from Yuewan Port. Its specific location is written on the parchment. Quite detailed.
With this address, it is actually equivalent to having the dragon scales in hand. Counting the black, gold, and green ones, we have already obtained most of the seven dragon scales. Maybe we can try to let Luvia do divination again.
"What did you and Richard talk about?"
While Xia De was thinking, the beautiful head looking at him suddenly asked again. He raised his head and looked into those watery eyes, then quickly moved away:
"We talked about him and Madeleine in the Fourth Age. Then we talked about you."
Shad didn't think "Desire" really knew about the conversation between them last night, so he didn't hide it.
As expected, that beautiful head showed no surprise or anger. She still had a beautiful smile, and even smiled better than before:
"Very good, the little boy really knows that I don't like people lying to me.
In this way, the matter of that silly girl Madeline was solved smoothly. The remnants of her soul will be together with the remnants of Richard's soul forever. If the God of Love has not left yet, I think he will also praise me for fulfilling the wishes of a pair of lovers. ”
Shad made no comment on this, just like when he told the love story of Madeleine and Richard at the dinner table this morning, he did not express his own opinions on Carina and Dorothy.
"I won't guess whether you were just a bystander in the story of those two people, or whether you also contributed to something. In fact, I have one more thing."
The lips painted with unknown red lipstick were slightly raised. Following the sound of water, the white left hand stretched out from under the water, holding the slightly tilted beautiful head on the left cheek:
"I knew you must have something else, I understand."
She smiled broadly:
“Want to ask about ‘Gluttony’?”
Xia De was not surprised that his mind was read:
"Yes, you really understand. Even I don't have the confidence to win the next battle. Now those cultists are making preparations, and I have to draw a few more cards. In this matter, Can you help me?"
After asking, I felt that I seemed a little greedy. The thing in the water had no reason to help me like this.
But what he got was a smile, a smile that danced lightly on the sea. The sound of water splashing is like the legs of a girl hidden in the fog gently lapping the water:
"Look, you are still influenced by me. You were so wary of me at first, but now you have the courage to ask me for a deal."
The smiling head was the most exquisite work of art in the eyes of outsiders. Just staring at her made him have the urge to cut off the head and put it on his bedside to watch and use.
After holding his breath and concentrating on throwing away the imaginary scenes and eliminating distracting thoughts, Shade lowered his eyes:
"This is what you yourself told me: When the final disaster comes, even sin is strength. Well, I feel like I am quibbling. Do you want to help me? If you can help me, I need to pay. At what cost? ”
"Of course I want to help you. My purpose is to see you relying on me again and again, and in the end you can't do without me."
The tone sounded like a joke, but Shade still felt a little cold behind him.
"Because of what happened in Tobesk last year, it's too late to look for the followers of ?. As for the pepper pot you used in the City of Spring, I don't have it in my hands now."
She paused deliberately, as if she wanted to whet Shade's appetite, while Shade waited patiently.
Then the purple eyes looked at her angrily:
"Really, I was waiting for you to question me. I really don't know how you charmed those witches.
But there is actually an easier way to call the One. There is no need for sacrificial groups and large-scale rituals, no need for the help of specific relics and magical items, you only need to have a strong, extremely strong desire to eat, and they will naturally watch you. After all, it has already been labeled on you. ”
Shad nodded, this method indeed sounds reliable. But the problem is, how can he have such a strong desire, how can he persuade the other party to help him, and how can he prepare for the divine body to descend.
"You don't have to worry about why that person wants to help you."
The beautiful head on the sea continued to speak, which is a secret that mortals don’t know:
"? Seriously hostile to the [Dragon-Eating Demon] itself."
"Why are the powers of these two people related to devouring and gluttony?"
Xia De understood immediately. His left hand in the water retracted underwater. The head moved closer to the edge of the reef with a splashing sound. The watery purple eyes were attracting Sha De's soul:
“It’s even simpler for a **** to descend into a body. The requirements for this are not high. You only need to find a body with the sin of gluttony, and you don’t even need to care about life or death.”
She completely saw through Sha De’s thoughts:
"As for how you have such a strong desire to eat, am I not here?"
"Desire" said with a smile:
"Look at me or I won't go on."
Xia De was forced to raise his head and look at the head that had come to the reef. The other party looked at Sha De with a smile, and did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited for at least two minutes, and after Sha De pursed his lips and turned red, he said:
"When you need help, I will naturally help you, but whether you can succeed or not depends on you. As for the cost, I see that you have been busy enough recently, why not wait until the incident in Yuewan is over? Come to me again. Give me a full bottle of fragrance as a meeting gift, and I will tell you the price you have to pay."
The index finger of his right hand stretched out under the water touched his lips, and his charming eyes made Shade want to dig them out and collect them.
"Of course, I won't let you do things you don't like. After all, I like you very much."
A full bottle of fragrance is simple, but the price, which was only known after the Yuewan incident, was equivalent to putting Shade on a debt with no interest, but after thinking about it, he felt that he did not need to refuse. Compared to the mermaid in front of him, the evil **** - [Dragon Devouring Demon] is more terrifying.
