The Whispering Verses Chapter 2374: Letter from Gaode
Just when Shade was about to tell him his plans for the next "Red Butterfly Day", Lesia interrupted him again with a smile:
"Are you anxious? But you can't be anxious this time.
I have agreed with Dorothy, Grace, and Helen that since the Moon Bay thing is coming to an end, maybe we need the power of the 'Chosen One of Space'. We can only perfectly integrate with Grace and Helen on the Red Butterfly Day, so next Wednesday's 'Celebration Day' is temporarily cancelled. If you have any bad intentions, I'm afraid it will take some time to realize it.
Oh, don't ask us how to contact Grace and Helen, it's our secret. ”
"What bad intentions can I have?"
Xia De asked.
"For example."
The blonde bit her lip lightly:
"Don't you prefer girls' legs to fish tails? Speaking of which, I still have important knowledge about this fairy tale that I haven't taught you. Shade, sit next to me. Let me tell you what kind of magic the beautiful legs that the mermaid princess pursues have."
Before Shade moved, the two of them heard an impatient knock on the door:
"Lecia, I don't mind if you speak so loudly. But aren't you teaching? Don't flirt during teaching time, okay? And, did you mean to let me hear you?"
Lecia covered her mouth and chuckled. Judging from Shade's understanding of her, she most likely did it on purpose.
"If you don't want to listen, can't you just slip a silencing charm through the crack of the door? Although Dorothy's body has been a little uncomfortable recently, I have many ways to make Shade happy. I'm going to start, Don't eavesdrop. Come on, Shade, tell me how much you love us. Yes, in any way you want."
"Lecia!"
So that night, it was not until early in the morning that Shade took the two ladies of the Cavendish family back to their room to rest.
After Saturday, it was Sunday again. Tobesk, which had been raining for three consecutive days, finally had a sunny day, but the streets that had not yet dried out were still wet even in the morning.
"I feel like even the newspaper is wet."
Xia De said at the breakfast table. Next to him was little Mia, and next to him was a letter from far away, Miss Gauthe. Lesia was reading another copy of "Tobesk Literary News" in a good mood. The duchess, with a rosy face, was about to drink porridge with a spoon, but when she saw the sticky thing, she immediately thought of what happened last night:
"Xia De is really not a gentleman sometimes."
Of course, when you complain in your heart, you have a smile on your face.
Shad's original summer travel plan had to be put on hold due to the severe spread of plague on the east coast of the Old World. The heirs of an ancient family whose hometown town was plagued by plague also worried Shade.
Although he has spent a lot of time in Moon Bay in the past month, he is also paying attention to the plague. Specifically, with the cooperation of the Kingdom and the Five Gods Church, the strange plague that was spreading rapidly at the beginning of the month, and even everyone in Tobesk, where there was no case, was in danger, has been brought under control.
It is said that it is under control, but in fact it is just that the plague is not allowed to spread to more areas. Currently, in various blockaded areas on the Old Continent, various tasks such as the investigation of infected persons, corpse disposal, patient treatment, and case tracking are still in progress.
Newspapers have been publishing good news about plague control for two consecutive weeks, and after being confirmed by Lesia and Miss Carina, the content in the newspapers this time is rare and all is true.
In this month’s letter, Miss Gold also mentioned that the spread of the plague in the town where her declining family is located has gradually improved.
Since Miss Gothe returned to the family, she recruited adventurers and a large number of craftsmen to renovate the family's old land. Since last year, she has caused a series of things in the old house, manor, farm, harbor, wilderness and other places, so she has already prepared for the danger. The small town that was prepared did not suffer too serious losses in this round of plague attacks.
Although curfew control is still implemented in the town, the order of the town has returned to normal, and the townspeople no longer gather in churches and other places to help each other.
From between the lines of this letter, Shade could clearly feel Miss Gaude's joy. She claimed that now that the plague was almost over, she planned to continue renovating and exploring the lands left by her wealthy ancestors. Although in her early letters, she described the weirdness and abnormality in those "ancestral lands", it was obvious that the ancestral treasures left in them were worth the trouble.
"Look, how happy Shade is smiling now? What kind of person will be the owner of little Mia?"
Miss Carina said to Lesia who still didn’t “leave”, Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at Shade who was reading the letter seriously:
"I don't care who she is. As long as she is not a girl with cat ears, I don't have to worry about her."
Then the duchess also made a joke:
"When Luvia and I were chatting, I asked her if she would worry that the appearance of the beautiful witch would threaten her status in Shade's heart. But Luvia said at the time that only the girl with cat ears appeared. Then she would be a little worried."
Of course Shade heard the Cavendish ladies' "slander" about him, but he did not respond while reading the letter.
This time Miss Gothe's letter was obviously more content than before, so she used several more sheets of letter paper. Shade guessed that it was probably because she had nothing to do during the spread of the plague, so she was willing to write more letters. Say something.
The first half of the letter introduced the local plague situation, and in the middle was the planned town reconstruction and family revitalization plan. The situation in the small town learned in the correspondence over the past year even made Sha De I can almost draw a map of the town and its surroundings out of thin air.
As for the second half of this month's letter, it is about Miss Gold's concern about her cat, Little Mia. She once again asked Shade to mail her a photo of little Mia, thinking that the cat, now over a year old, should have grown up a bit.
She also did not forget to thank Detective Shade Hamilton in her letter for taking care of the cat, and wrote something that surprised Shade at the end.
"What?!"
He stood up from the table at once, causing not only the Duchess and Her Royal Highness the Princess to look over, but even the cat that was licking the goat's milk looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong? Miss Gothe said she was a cat girl?"
Lecia asked with a smile, reaching out and pulling Shad back to sit down again. It seemed that she and Carina were still talking about the topic just now.
"Of course not. But Miss Gold said that she will most likely come to Tobesk for business at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, and then she will visit the Hamilton Detective Agency."
As Shade spoke, he picked up the letter again, fearing that he had read the wrong content.
Lecia asked curiously:
"Is she coming? Is she coming to take away little Mia?"
"The letter didn't say anything, it just said that I would come here once. It's the beginning of this month, and there's still half a month to a month left."
Xia De murmured to himself and looked at the cat who had no idea what was going on.
Carina then smiled and said:
"Look at you, you have never been so nervous when facing dangerous enemies before. Relax, Shade, no matter whether Miss Mia Gold wants to take away little Mia, I can help you. Xiao Mia stays. The legal method is to use gold pounds to convince her, but you can actually use the illegal method.
Anyway, what are you worried about? Isn't this a great opportunity? You finally have the opportunity to make little Mia your pet cat. ”
"Yes, you originally said that you wanted to see Miss Gothe by yourself, but now she is coming to see you, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Lecia also asked, while Shade continued to look at the letter. No matter when Miss Gothe comes, judging from the time, it will be after the Moon Bay incident, and we cannot let this matter distract us now.
"Ms. Gao De is actually a very easy-to-talk person. I can feel it from our correspondence over the past year."
Xia De said slowly, then raised his head and asked:
"Miss Gothe said, let me take a picture of little Mia. Now that the cat is more than a year old, it is not possible for the cat to remain the same size as before. There should be some kind of magic potion that can show little Mia Get bigger?"
"Aging agent is barely a high-end potion. Just ask Megan to prepare it for you. Grandma Cassandra can also prepare it."
Carina said, and Lecia asked curiously:
"Since there are age-increasing agents, is there also an 'age-reducing agent'? Shade's "Secret of Agelessness" contains spells, secrets and potions to maintain youth, but there is no way to regress age."
"Aren't you and Dorothy the right age now? Do you still want to be seventeen or eighteen like Agelina and Emilia?"
The red-haired witch smiled, but still answered the question:
"Illusion and other age-reducing methods are definitely not the answer you want. If it is true age-reducing caused by changes in physical state, there is indeed a magic potion that can do it, but what is the point of that kind of magic potion?
The illusory experience returns to the age of eighteen for a few hours or days, and then changes back to the original state to face reality. This is just the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror. I think it is better to face reality. ”
She picked up the bacon casually with her fork:
"Girls always have to face the fact that growing older is something we have to face, so we have to cherish every moment more. Of course, Lesia, if you want to pursue permanence To reduce your age, I suggest you ask Shade to quickly learn how to turn back time."
"That's it~"
Lecia glanced at Shade and did not mention this topic again.
At the breakfast table, Shade discussed the topic of the plague with the two Cavendish ladies. When breakfast was almost over, Dorothy came back again, lamenting that she was really not used to not having Agelina on the table at Yodel Palace.
