The Whispering Verses Chapter 655: The Process of Civilization (Part 1)

Chapter 655 The Process of Civilization (Part 1)

Although the repelled evil spirit did not suffer much damage, Shade's actions made it become more violent. Below the elemental corrosion spirit body, more and more black faces appeared from the depths of its soul, and Shade could even hear the continuous whispers and curses coming from his ears.

His right foot swept away the fallen leaves on the ground, and before it attacked Shade again with the white mist, Shade took the initiative to rush over with swords in both hands:

"One!"

He thrust forward suddenly, and the moonlight sword was blocked by the pale green shield as expected.

"Two!"

Through [Raglai's Jump], his figure appeared behind the evil spirit, and the light shield appeared again to block the sword in Shade's hand.

"Three!"

The sword and light shield competed with each other behind the evil spirit. The second sword summoned by [Blade of Chaotic Time] appeared from the front of the soul and hit the evil spirit's head directly.

The light shield is in the shape of half an eggshell. If it defends against attacks from behind, it cannot defend against attacks from the front. The two-handed sword carrying the moonlight pierced out of the air, first piercing the big blood-red hand extending from the neck of the spirit body - the evil spirit's abilities are mostly related to resentment and the cause of death, and then the sword blade pierced the spirit body's body. head.

The light shield behind him disappeared at this moment, but Shade did not relax:

"Mind blast!"

With one punch, the black faces surrounding the soul disappeared in shock. . . The whispering elements were expelled along with the white mist. With the appearance of the pure white spirit body and the appearance of cracks on the surface of the spirit body, Shade knew that he had won.

At the last moment of collapse, Professor Higgins turned to look at Shade, with confusion and confusion in his eyes. He was about to say his last words before disappearing. This was unique to the evil spirits in the Fort Midhill area. Features:

"Why."

I didn’t want to be troublesome, but his sad expression was indeed pitiful. The soul is about to disappear, and Shade is not worried about the other party informing him. Considering that he had taken the other person's suitcase, Shade sighed and couldn't help but said in relief:

"Actually, I am a gray eagle, so your mission did not fail, you succeeded, Professor."

Professor Higgins' "last words" came to an abrupt end, and the soul that was collapsing from the bottom up looked at him.

"Yes, I am the Grey-headed Eagle of Tobesk. I got the information from Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Set. In that pen, the accurate information is--this On the last day of the month, your goods are in the warehouse with a red door plate in Fort Midhill, with the paper rolled up."

The professor's pure white and transparent hand grabbed his arm, and his soul, which was about to collapse, became whole again because of Shade's words. So, Shade lightly drew with his finger, and the black cracks immediately opened, and the light spots of souls floated towards the place of death:

"Leave, your mission has been completed."

He said softly, Professor Higgins’ soul looked at him:

"Tomorrow at 9:30 am, on the platform of Fort Midhill Railway Station. Take a bouquet of red roses, wear gray gloves backwards, and a gold pen in your breast pocket. Remember to dress decently and have someone hand over the box. Password, no, All ages and interests."

Xia De looked at him in surprise. There was no mention in his memory that he could still complete the task like this. But he soon realized that after one of his companions was shot and another committed suicide, Professor Higgins could not fail to notify his superiors of the change in the mission within a week.

So, this is a new arrangement. Professor Higgins never thought that he would be able to take this box away.

The soul had disintegrated, leaving only the part above the neck. Shade nodded lightly, but did not make a promise. He thought of the password for giving up the mission (Chapter 561) that he got from the cipher text in the newspaper, so he whispered in Kassenric:

"Your mission accomplished - eternal loyalty."

"Eternal Loyalty"

The spirit body completely collapsed and floated into the "Death Door" opened by Shade.

Xia De waved his palm, as if smoothing the black crack with his palm.

Then he sighed slightly, raised his head over the treetops of the dense forest, and looked at the dim sun in the sky. The strange optical effect makes the dim sun disc blurry and reflects the gradually thickening sunset glow:

"This world is really dangerous for ordinary people."

The body of Professor Higgins was buried in the Sikal Mountain, under a tree where you could overlook Fort Midhill, and then returned to Tobesk's home with the suitcase.

There was no one at home. Under the setting sun, only Mia the cat happily jumped down the stairs from the second floor to welcome Shade home.

So, no matter how bad things happened to Shade outside, he would always feel good when he came home and saw the cat that greeted him.

After changing out of the clothes he wore when he went to Fort Midhill, he took the cat with him to find Dorothy on Quill Street in the University District.

Unfortunately, the blond writer lady is not at home. The landlady said that she went home to have dinner with her family.

So Shade thought he was taking a walk in the evening, carried Mia and walked to Silver Cross Avenue. In the flower shop, he handed Agelina's maid a note asking for Lesia in an emergency.

Afterwards, in the lounge specially reserved for Agelina behind the flower shop, they tasted rose tea and exquisite rose cakes. Agelina sometimes sneaks out and likes to spend time alone in this flower shop, so the lounge reserved for her is really nice.

After eating and drinking with the cat, Lesia sent a letter asking Shade to wait for her by the Terrariel River on the west side of Yodel Palace. After a while she and Agelina would go out to see the opera, and after the carriage took them through the Via Felice, they would stop by the river.

"The lives of princesses are really pleasant."

Sighing in his heart, Shade picked up the suitcase that he had not opened yet and set out again with the soft cat that looked like he was sleepy. Bypass the huge Jodel Palace complex from the side, pass through the street between Jodel Palace and the Kingdom House, enter the intersection with Felice Pastoral Street, and choose the road leading to the river at the five-way intersection. That one.

The Terrariel River in autumn is still a flood season, and freight ships are rushing to transport the last cargo of the year before the winter freezes.

At this time, the sun has almost completely set, and the Terrariel River is reflected in a golden color. Steamboats with thick chimneys patrolled the river, pulling out columns of smoke behind them. The autumn wind swept across the water, creating sparkling waves. People couldn't help but squint their eyes due to the reflected light.

The wild geese pass through the sky in a row. In this hazy city sky, the irregular cotton-like clouds are almost impossible to observe. When the sun showed its last rays of light, the traces of three moons could already be seen on the horizon.

Red moon, yellow moon, silver moon, three moons hang in the shadowy starry sky. This is dusk, and it is probably the most pleasant time of the day. Because no matter who it is, they will subconsciously slow down at this moment, and night is coming.

Shad didn't wait long by the river before the princesses' motorcade drove over. But after the motorcade drove away, an ordinary-looking carriage stopped.

Not far away is the Cavendish Bridge across the Terrarel River - this tower bridge was built with money from the royal family. The coachman motioned to Shade to go to the bridge. So Shade and the cat walked leisurely along the river bank, and the carriage followed him at an extremely slow speed.

Soon we arrived at the bridge. Shade walked onto the bridge. After walking about twelve steps, he stopped and looked at the scenery outside the bridge. Mia looked curiously at the water under the bridge in his arms, then shrank her head as if she was frightened.

The carriage slowly blocked behind Shade. As the door opened, Shade turned around suddenly and rushed in with the cat in his arms at an extremely fast speed, as if he was holding a ball of orange steam. bomb.

Because he was too fast, he almost bumped into Agelina who wanted to greet him.

"Good evening, Shad."

"Good evening, Lesia, oh, good evening, Your Highness Agelina."

I don’t know if it’s because Shade took the initiative to come to her this time, but Lesia, who was wearing a red dress, was in a very high mood:

"Is there something you want to do if you write to me specifically?"

Because it would be very troublesome to explain MI6, Detective Sparrow and vampires, Shade asked directly:

"Have any valuable items or confidential documents been lost in the kingdom's important departments recently that can be put into this box?"

Shad placed the black suitcase on his lap. The cat that was placed next to the bench immediately jumped up and lay down on the box.

"Agelina, give me a hug."

Shade then handed the troublesome cat to the little princess, who happily hugged Mia. Seeing that Shade was really talking about business, Mia struggled symbolically to show that she was actually unwilling.

"I picked this up from Fort Midhill. It belongs to the Gray Gloves."

"Gray gloves?"

Lecia smiled, not realizing how important this was:

"Our great detective did not forget to contribute to the kingdom at Fort Midhill. Oh, I remembered, you are still an agent of MI6."

The five people in the team all know that "that lady" arranged for Shade to get paid without working, but no one knows what Shade's current salary and status are in MI6.

"A detective is both a knight and an agent?"

Agelina, who was holding the cat, whispered, but no one paid attention to her.

"Let me think about it. The Kingdom has not lost any important information recently."

Lesia curled her hair around her ears with her fingers and answered.

"So is it possible that important documents or information have been copied?"

"Unlikely"

She raised her eyebrows:

"Except for the four metal plates in your basement, I am not aware of any recent leaks of important items."

She was referring to the mother of the four-dollar-one-shilling note.

Agelina looked very curious, but neither Shade nor Lesia wanted to explain.

"So what could it be?"

Xia De looked at the suitcase on his lap with a solemn expression.

"Will you know if you open it and take a look?"

Lesia looked past Shade out of the car window. It was difficult for her and Agelina to show up, so she could only look at the Terrariel River from this small window. It had only been twenty minutes since Shade arrived at the riverside, and the last traces of the sunset had already disappeared.

On the calm Terrariel River, the lights of steamships dot the scenery of the river. On both sides of the river are the lights of thousands of houses. This is the core city of Tobesk, the Pearl of the North. The fire of the steam age symbolizes the most important thing of this era. A great civilizational achievement.

This scene made Lecia Cavendish believe even more firmly that all this was worthy of her.

PS: Guess what’s in the box. Someone will guess it right before the evening update. I’ll add another chapter tomorrow.
