The Whispering Verses Chapter 442: Luvia’s middle name
As for Shade’s neighbor on the other side, that is, the neighbor at No. 7 Saint Teresa Square, unfortunately he was not at home when Shade was about to visit.
Shad saw from the information left by Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the neighbors of No. 5, and Detective Sparrow that the resident of No. 7 was a researcher at the Steam Machinery Equipment Research Institute of the Kingdom Army, and the house was inherited from a relative.
But because he travels on business all year round, the old gentleman only comes back to stay for a while every winter. And since he wasn't at home, Shade didn't have to ask for advice.
"The neighbors on both sides are retired senior civil servants of the kingdom and Detective Sparrow, a researcher who studies steam mechanical weapons. He really knows how to find a place to live."
Although Sparrow Hamilton has been laid to rest in a foreign land, this man's story still affects Shade.
On Tuesday, the maintenance work at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square officially began. Because the first and third floors were being renovated, it was difficult for Shade to read at home with people coming and going.
So he went out early in the morning, naturally taking the cat with him. Shade was worried about leaving it at home.
There are many things to do today. The first stop is to visit Luvia at the Prophet Association.
Luvia was recently investigating the out-of-control darkness outside the city, and she was probably very busy, so when she saw her, the purple-eyed girl looked sleepy.
"Good morning, Shade, I heard that your home is being renovated? Yesterday, the news that a convoy transporting furniture almost blocked the east exit of Saint Teresa Square has spread throughout the association. The receptionist ladies on the first floor, Forget it, it’s not a big deal. Is there anything going on today? If you want to ask about Darkness, I haven’t heard about the angel-level relic that is out of control outside the city. I only found the specific name is [Darkness]. field], but further investigation ideas are already available.”
"No, no, I want to ask you about a male prophet who lived in the Fifth Age."
Xia De explained.
"Fifth Era? Is it your time key?"
Luvia asked, shaking the spoon in the tea cup.
"Yes, although I am not sure whether the other party is from the Prophet Association, I can only try my luck. Male, probably lived around 1784 of the Fifth Era."
Luvia smiled:
"Look, your time adventure is indeed in trouble again. Shade, keep talking, this information is not enough."
"His hometown is in the Eastern Continent of the Fifth Age material world. His name is Sledge Riddle, and the **** he believes in [Mr. Huan] seems to be an ancient **** as well."
"Oh?"
The smile on Luvia's face disappeared and turned into a look of surprise. Seeing her look like this, Shade knew that Luvia knew this name.
Caressing little Mia on the table who was starting to feel sleepy after breakfast, Shade asked with a smile:
"You know? That would be great. I thought I would have to look for it for a long time. Is this a former member of the Prophet Society?"
"Yes, of course he is a member of the Prophet's Association. Isn't it obvious? Shade, look, what is this?"
She pointed to her chest, and Shade looked at it seriously. No one spoke for a while, until Luvia suddenly blushed and asked:
"What are you looking at?"
"Well, that's where you pointed."
"I want you to see this!"
She patted the Ouroboros brooch on her chest, which only the staff of the Prophet Association were qualified to wear.
"Xia De, what is the pattern of the [Origin and Destiny] oil painting on the first floor? What is the pattern of this brooch? Who is Mr. Huan?"
Xia De suddenly realized:
"The pattern of [Origin and Destiny] is ouroboros, the symbol of the Prophet Association is ouroboros, and Mr. Ring is ouroboros! The fortune tellers of the Prophet Association are the gods of the ancient **** of destiny, ouroboros. Believer?"
"No, no, only a small number of ring magicians in the association will believe in that ancient god? The association is not a church, although we require that every president must be a believer of that gentleman."
Luvia corrected, but did not talk more about this topic:
"Continue to talk about the Mr. Riddle you met. This man is not only a member of the association, but also has some connections with you."
Luvia said cautiously.
"With me?"
"Xia De, I mentioned him to you before, but I didn't name him at that time. The secrets of this fifth-era diviner are strictly kept by the association. He has experienced many things, and has Directly affected the development of the Sixth Age Prophet Association."
"Have you ever mentioned him? Influenced the development of the Sixth Age Association? Sorry, who was it?"
Shad was a little curious. He didn’t remember Luvia mentioning the male diviner of the Fifth Age to him.
"That conversation happened at your house, and I told you about [The Wanxiang Impermanence Card]."
Luvia prompted, seeing Shade frowning and thinking, she gave the answer:
"Sledge Riddle, an ancient prophet who lived in the early Fifth Age. The Association accidentally obtained an Impermanent Card hundreds of years ago. When looking for relevant records, in the deepest part of the file library, Among the information left by Mr. Del, another card was discovered, as well as the description and playing rules of the "Impermanence Card". The association learned the secret of the Impermanence Card. The then president of the association, Mr. Rhodes, made changes and development based on these information. The current Rhodes card system emerged. ”
Xia De took a breath:
"So, without Mr. Riddle, there would be no Rhodes today?"
"You can say that."
Luvia nodded while holding the tea cup. She is used to drinking an extra cup of morning tea after breakfast:
"Although Mr. Riddle is just an ordinary person, the manuscripts and materials he left behind have already played a big role in the association before [Everything Is Impermanent]. This gentleman has experienced countless things in his life, but they have all A successful escape. As an ordinary person, he studied demons, angels, evil spirits and relics. Although this inevitably caused him to become insane in his later years and ended his life by suicide, his research results in philosophy and occultism , influenced countless people in the association."
Luvia said to Shade with emotion:
"Although the association has changed many times and some information has been lost, if it is Mr. Riddle who lived around 1784 in the Fifth Era, then it can only be him. After all, there are not many outstanding men in the Fifth Era. I really envy you, Shade, such an outstanding prophet, it will definitely be of great benefit to me if I can meet him."
"So, I can only know his information from the Prophet Association?"
"Of course, outside the Association, this gentleman was just an unknown man of his time."
Luvia said it for sure.
"So Luvia, can you help me retrieve the information? I need at least eight paragraphs of information about the dangers this gentleman has experienced or the great achievements he has achieved."
Luvia showed a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Xia De, that gentleman's information is classified as top secret. With my authority, I will try to apply to the headquarters for access, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to give you an immediate reply. It may take a week, or even half a month."
"It doesn't matter, I can wait, as long as there is direction."
Xia De didn't care about this. This time the investigation was at least smoother than the previous two.
He did not forget to add:
"If there is really nothing I can do, I will think of other ways. In short, you don't have to be too embarrassed."
"If I can help you, it won't be a problem at all."
She said softly, and then saw the expression on Shade's face with satisfaction:
"Contacting scholars from the Fifth Age is a valuable opportunity. Before you travel through time next time, you can think of asking that knowledgeable gentleman some questions. Perhaps, there are some answers you have been looking for. , can be obtained by simple inquiry. ”
"I understand."
Before the two separated, probably due to the influence of desire and flesh, Shade once again thought of the passionate kiss under the moonlight last night. But neither Shade nor Luvia took the initiative to talk about what happened under the moonlight.
This is a kind of tacit understanding, a tacit understanding of hazy feelings. Shade understands his thoughts very well, especially after witnessing [Desire] underground at Aurora Manor, he knows more clearly what he wants; and Luvia, who left like she was running away last night, also understands herself very well What do you want.
They will keep going and this will not change, so this is enough and there is no need for more doubts and determinations.
"Luvia, I'm going to Coldwater Port soon to buy some materials and try a ritual to enhance time perception. If there is any new information about Mr. Riddle's information, remember to tell me as soon as possible. Oh, you look tired. If it’s broken, don’t forget to take a break.”
Standing up, Shade was ready to leave.
"Compared to what you did in Coldwater Harbor for two weeks, I'm not tired."
She stood up and prepared to send Shade off.
"Oh, by the way, Luvia, what's your middle name?"
Xia De, who was about to leave, suddenly asked.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
The girl with purple eyes lifted her hair from her ears, her short shawl hair swaying slightly as she stood up.
"It just occurred to me that during exam week, I learned that your middle name is the letter F, but what is it specifically?"
Full names will only be mentioned in very serious situations and serious conversations, while asking for middle names is a relatively private act in this era. Luvia's face turned red and she blinked:
"Fiocchi."
She spoke in standard Delarian Common and in an operatic accent:
"Luvia·Future·Anita."
Xia De nodded:
"I remember it, the name is very good."
"Thank you."
Standing on tiptoes and kissing the side of Shade's face, the girl with purple eyes clasped her hands behind her back, smiled and took a few steps back to stand in the morning light in front of the window:
"Go and do your business, oh, don't forget your cat. If you leave it behind, I will kidnap it."
"This is not my cat yet."
Shade emphasized again, waving to Mia, and the orange cat quickly jumped from the table into his palm, then followed his arm to his shoulder.
"I wish you good luck today, Luvia."
"Good luck to you today, Shad."
