The Whispering Verses Chapter 2408: Opera invitation
After a good night's sleep, it was Tuesday. Early that morning, Shade appeared at Margaret Manor.
Because he arrived a little early, Margaret was even having breakfast with Miss Sylvia, so she called Shade and little Mia to have another meal.
Margaret seems to have a particular fondness for sweets, and the dessert after a meal tastes even more delicious than the main meal. After hearing what Shade said about Carmen Eddington, she nodded in agreement:
"The invitation is easy to talk about, so you will also come to the banquet on Friday, right?"
"Of course."
Xia De touched Xiao Mia:
"I have a hunch that this is probably the last grand banquet we can attend before the Yuewan incident ends. I hope we have a good time then."
"Judging from the current weather, it is obviously summer, but I am afraid that the outdoor activity area cannot be opened for banquets."
Miss Sylvia looked out the window:
"Bella and Luvia, have you ever said when this fog will clear?"
She regarded the two female fortune tellers as "weather forecasters", but in fact predicting the weather is indeed the specialty of prophets.
"They said that the fog is not only coming from the 'edge of life and death', but also contains other ingredients, and the results have not yet been analyzed."
Margaret immediately sighed:
"In just a few days, the No. 3 Mental Hospital of Yuewan City and the 'Flower of Yuewan Sanatorium' have been filled with people, and lunatics seem to be everywhere in the city. Without this fog, things would have been even worse. Oops, I'm afraid the whole city is already in turmoil. Fortunately, the light is obviously weakened after being filtered by the thick fog, and the skin disease caused can be slowly cured by applying a potion with No. 4 holy water."
"Okay, okay, I didn't come here to cause you trouble early in the morning."
Xia De interrupted Her Royal Highness the Princess’ worries:
"Today is Tuesday, and this week has just begun. Margaret, besides the banquet on Friday, what are you going to do these days? Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Shad, my knight, you are busy enough.
Most of my time in Yuewan was spent on socializing, countless meetings, conversations, and visits. I have become accustomed to this. I really don’t know how my father adapted to this kind of life. ”
She put down her knife and fork gracefully and looked at Shade:
"When I was in Green Lake this year, I heard Princess Lesia say that you like to watch operas with her?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows and almost asked, "What kind of opera do you mean?":
"Yes."
"So do you have anything to do tonight? If you have nothing to do, can you go to the Eddington Opera House with me to watch the opera? If you have something to do, forget it. Anyway, you will have time in the future."
Although she said this, even Miss Sylvia laughed:
"Shad, just go with her. You don't know how much pressure Margaret is under during this time. If she hadn't been a magician and a witch's apprentice, and had a way to use secret techniques to recuperate her body, I would look at her Even the menstrual cycle is messed up."
The blonde princess was already blushing.
Although he made an appointment to watch the opera with Margaret tonight, Shade did not waste his time during the day.
Now that the identity of the chosen one is basically confirmed, the most important thing in his hand is to decide who he wants to support to become the chosen one.
"After 'helping' Mrs. Jude and talking to Mr. Albert in the barn that night, I inexplicably felt the 'guidance' again. And Miss Rice said that the vampire who died ten years ago The [Blood Sorrow] scars on the body are all accurate to the scalpel level, avoiding the fatal position. The sword must be in the hands of Mr. Ptolemy Albert."
After leaving the back door of Margaret Manor, Shade also looked towards the direction of Spider Alley:
"From the beginning, Mr. Bernhardt had suspected that the sword was in the hands of his good friend. It seems that Mr. Bernhardt must have noticed something."
He sighed, but did not go to Spider Alley immediately. He returned to Belindel Manor first.
It was a coincidence that when Shade went back, he happened to bump into Iluna also visiting the manor.
She still carried [Pale Justice] with her. When she and Shade entered the manor and bumped into Emilia and Agelina, she handed the sword to the elf girl:
"Take it first and try to see if you can comprehend anything. Shade said that your cold weapon fighting talent is not very good, but you also learned a set of Elf Sword Dance in the Elf Ruins. Maybe this sword The inherited sword styles can help you."
Iluna also knew that Emilia was kind-hearted, so she dared to hand this angel-level relic into her hands.
The elf girl looked flattered. Compared to the "Balanced Chosen One" Iluna, who was "used to the world", this was one of the few angel-level relics she had come into contact with.
With the little unicorn beside them, Shade was not worried about the impact of this relic, so he and Iluna went to the study room of the manor, and Luvia was already sitting there. .
No one else came to disturb the meeting between the three of them. After Shade sat down, he arranged the six coins he brought from home on the table:
"[Pirate's Blood Money], [Thunder God's Wrath], [King's Egg], two [Coins of Wisdom], [Dragon Blood Money]. The quantity is sufficient and the types are quite many. Things have developed so far , I don’t think there’s any need to save.”
Luvia nodded, but instead of rushing to divination, she asked Iluna:
"How do you feel about your time in Yuewan? What have you been busy with recently?"
The eighteen-year-old girl held the teacup and sipped the black tea:
"Moon Bay has become the seventh 'Place of Destiny', and the number of relics inside and outside the city is increasing. And I have to regularly go to the outside of the city or offshore islands to clean up the [Dragon Cult] with the church team. 】The dragon nests that were set up to hatch dragon beasts, no one knows how they came up with so many nests."
He paused and added:
“But the subsidy for a business trip to Yuewan is really very high.”
Shad and Luvia both laughed, and Shad continued to ask:
"Is there any new news from the church?"
"Yes, in the process of tracking down those cultists, the church has found clear evidence to prove that they want to summon gods. Well, everyone actually knows this."
She shook her head, put down the tea cup and looked at the snacks on the table, but considering her figure, she did not go to get them:
"Yesterday's operation yielded great results. After killing a high priest of the [Dragon Eater Order] during the arrest, before his soul disappeared, the church's psychic troops learned the location of the summoning god. It’s the ancient ‘Dragon Festival Sacrifice’.”
"Xia De said that it seems that the five major righteous churches are unable to call the gods this time."
Luvia said again, and Iluna looked at Shade in surprise:
"Yes, does Shade even know this? So the pressure on the church is also great this time, especially after the incident with the Church of Dawn. I wonder if those witches have told Shade that the church wants to find someone You talk.
The fact that the righteous gods are temporarily unable to come to the material world is currently a top secret among top secrets. In our era, apart from the five righteous gods, the remaining gods from the non-evil **** camp are probably the only ones behind the 'God Caller' The ancient moon god. ”
In fact, Iluna very much doubted that the so-called "ancient moon god" was Shade himself. After all, she and Luvia had never seen Shade praying devoutly to a certain god, and Shade did not have a holy symbol or statue on his body. Or religious texts. Sometimes they even feel that Shade is like a "distrustful person". Of course, they will not mention this matter unless Shade himself says it.
"Has the church not thought about contacting other believers of the evil god? As far as I know, the **** who swallowed the dragon has many enemies."
Xia De asked curiously again, and Iluna immediately shook her head:
"Hostility to cultists is one of the purposes of the Five Gods Church. If limited cooperation with cultists will only shake the faith of some people, then calling evil gods to help the Five Gods Church will probably directly cause the sect to collapse. Help. One of the foundations of the existence of the Five Gods Church is that people get rid of the influence of the cult and defeat the conspiracy of the cult group.
Besides, as far as I know, the other gods of this era do not have a good relationship with us either. Even if we do take the risk and ask for help, we will get little result. ”
"So Shade, do you plan to communicate with the church?"
The girl with purple eyes asked curiously, but Shade refused without thinking:
"I am only in the seventh ring now, and I will not have any form of contact with the church. At most, let the witches or Iluna bring a message, saying that the 'God Caller' is ready at any time. Of course. , the situation this time is indeed serious. ”
Seeing the sadness on Shade's face, and thinking of the results of the divination with the witch last night, Luvia's heart skipped a beat.
Just before she spoke, Iluna said easily:
"That's fine, but I don't agree with Shade directly contacting the church at this stage, at least after the twelfth ring. Well, almost next year."
As he spoke, he laughed, and Shade did not forget to tell Iluna the good news:
"The latest time key has ended, and I successfully obtained an Enlightenment Spirit Rune. Now I only need the Ascension Word Spirit Rune and Miracle. Even according to the slowest situation, it will almost wait until the chosen one of light Appear, I can also get miracle-guidance.”
"We are never worried about your situation."
The eighteen-year-old girl smiled brightly, and then looked at the coins on the table:
"Before divination, can I make a small request? Recently I am learning a thaumaturgy related to thunder. Maybe it can enhance my [Sunshine Gun]. This 'Thunder God's Wrath' can temporarily borrow Give it to me?"
"Of course."
Feeling that she had missed the topic, Luvia couldn't bring up things like the "God War" anymore, so she reached out and handed the coin to Iluna:
"There are five left, which is enough. Shade, it's up to you to decide what to divination."
