The Whispering Verses Chapter 374: Leaves and gems
"I didn't expect that the fairy tale "Tree Kiss" actually has this meaning, but this is bad news."
Dorothy covered her forehead feeling helpless, then looked up at the glowing rune:
"I originally asked you to choose "Tree Kiss" to study because I hope you can obtain the spiritual runes related to [Nature], not the story itself. "Tree Kiss" only understands its own meaning, and it does not count. It’s specific and complicated, but the problem is that this spiritual rune points to a specific story, Shade, it’s hard to find the thaumaturgy corresponding to [Tree Kiss].”
This is indeed a problem. Even without looking for it, Shade could still imagine how rare this kind of spiritual rune is. He even doubted that no one except him could obtain this kind of spiritual rune.
"I want to try my luck at the Black Raven Library first, and then ask Lesia to find out through Zarath Academy of Literature. After all, they are good at spells and thaumaturgy. Denise, the librarian and I Miss Te’s relationship is also good, you can also find her in St. Byrons.”
"No, you don't want to ask in the college library, it will arouse suspicion. I will ask, after all, I am a ring warlock who mainly focuses on enlightenment elements."
Dorothy said, helping Shade with advice:
"There is probably no thaumaturgy that directly corresponds to [Tree Kiss], but there may be other spiritual runes related to this story that you can learn... However, our courses will have to Let’s change the topic. This time, let’s target the [Sleeping] Spirit Rune. After all, you already have two of the second-level ones, and the Spirit Runes needed for [The Echo of Time and Space to Shock the Power of Sleep] are also on the schedule.
Princess Lesia’s low-level words of sublimation are related to the sleeping princess, so they should be very good at this.
"Why don't I have such luck as you? I am fatefully involved with fairy tales. Each link can correspond to a story."
The blonde girl murmured quietly, then tilted her head and smiled at Shade, not knowing what she was thinking of.
Compared with other things I encountered yesterday, [Tree Kiss] is actually not a big deal. After all, even if the spiritual runes are not associated with thaumaturgy, it doesn't matter at all. This does not affect Shade's power.
Although Dorothy was unable to fully listen to Shade's story about gods and gods, she provided the parchment she bought at the opera house last time, coupled with ink mixed with the blood of deep-sea whales, so that Shade could [Happy Dream Pen] is used as stationery to write down stories.
In this way, Dorothy can slowly interpret the stories written by Shade just like those obscure and twisted stories. And when Shade finished writing the last letter, he suddenly thought that maybe those stories that carry power were originally written like this.
Handing a piece of [Eternal Youth Leaf] to Dorothy, and then leaving the [Metamorphosis Ring] to her to tease the cat, Shade entered the basement and set off again.
It was still raining in Coldwater Port on Monday. Compared to Tobesk, the seaport city gets more rain in the summer.
I crawled out of the sea still wet, but this time I didn’t go to the Golden Rose Hotel. Lesia had arranged a carriage and was waiting for Shade in the alley near the dock. The carriage took him directly to Sophia's mansion.
"Lesia, is this the sixth era?"
This was the first thing Shade asked when he saw Lesia in the study after washing up.
"Of course, otherwise what time is it...oh, Shade, are you out of control?"
The princess sat behind the desk, her reaction was exactly the same as Dorothy's. It was pouring rain outside, and it was a little cold in the slightly empty study.
"Of course I didn't lose control. I'm very good."
Xia De shook his head.
The maid brought a chair from behind, and Shade sat at the desk.
"Oh, Lesia, I recently thought of an interesting question. St. Byrons is in the far north, and Serkses Medical School is under the sea. So where is the Zalas School of Liberal Arts?"
He asked as he sat down. The reason why he didn't ask Dorothy directly was because it was the princess's secret.
"I can't tell you the specific location. I signed a confidentiality agreement. But the general location can be said to be here."
She pointed at the sky.
"Cloud?"
"Of course it's impossible."
"Floating City?"
"This is your guess, not what I said."
The red-haired girl smiled.
Xia De knew the answer, so he didn’t ask more carefully. I sighed in my heart at the unusual locations of the three major colleges. After thinking about it, I took out the water-soaked pocket watch from my pocket. Now there were two leaves in the pocket watch. Shade handed one of the pieces to the princess. Of course the latter knew what it was. She put down the teacup she had just picked up and looked at Shade in surprise:
"I heard from Dorothy that you have traveled through time again. But are you sure you want to lend this to me and not to Dorothy?"
She picked up the leaf and twisted the stem to make it spin before her eyes.
"I got two slices this time, and I gave her the other one in the morning."
Shadow said, and then saw a copy of "Steambird Daily" lying next to the princess. It seemed that even in Coldwater Port, Lesia still cared about Dorothy's serial novels.
"Already given to her..."
The red-haired girl murmured quietly and put the leaf aside.
"Oh, there is another gift for you. This is a gift to thank you for helping me search for the survivors of the pirate ship."
Shad took out another thing from his pocket and placed it on the table. It was a ruby earring. Not fake gems from souvenir shops, real gems. The earrings use pure gold to enclose the beautiful rhombus diamond, which looks beautiful.
Xia De took this out of the gift box in the early morning. When he discovered it was a ruby, he was really shocked. After all, it was just an apple last week. At that time, my first reaction was to sell it for money, but later I thought it would be a pity to sell such a beautiful gem.
"This...oh, this is a real gem? Shade, where did you get it? Are you sure you want to give this to me? If it were sold at auction, this could be sold for several thousand pounds. ”
Lecia frowned slightly, she knew Shade's financial situation.
"It doesn't cost anything. I'll just wash a few pieces of clothes for others for free this week."
Shad shook his head. Of course he understood that it was valuable, but it was nothing compared to what Lesia spent on finding someone for him in Coldwater Port. Anyway, it's all for nothing. Giving it to Her Royal Highness the Princess will not only thank the other party, but also stabilize the relationship between the two parties. And more importantly:
"The mermaid earrings I gave you last time were bought from a souvenir shop. They were just fake gemstones. Look, I see you are still wearing them now. They are not worthy of your status at all, so I got real gemstones. ”
He yawned. He really didn't sleep well yesterday.
Because of the yawning movement, he didn't see the corners of Her Royal Highness's mouth raised.
The third step of the "sea return" ceremony, which is the emergence of the red ocean, is expected to be on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Although this was not a ritual to summon the evil god, but just a ritual to flood the city, Shade was still worried about Lesia's safety, so he lent her the leaves.
And during the half week that Shade returned to Tobesk and struggled for fifteen credits in the city, a lot of things happened here.
Through the intelligence obtained in the fish-man stronghold of Kezem Lane, the church launched a manhunt across the city, and gradually realized that since the establishment of Coldwater Port, the Evil God Familia that existed in the shadows of the city had long been unknown to them. Sleep has penetrated into every aspect of this city.
Even if the church is determined to eradicate them, the situation is still not optimistic. Because there are too many fishmen, not just a few here and there, but in large groups hidden in the cold water port.
