The Whispering Verses Chapter 735: Mibor heavy fog

Chapter 735: Heavy Fog in Fort Rice

After returning home that night, although Shade was very tired, he still went to Quill Street, found Dorothy, and asked her to go out for a supper together. Dorothy saw that Shade had a lot to say, so she put on a lady's coat to keep out the cold and followed him out.

There is a restaurant on Quill Street that is about to close. They chose a location against the wall. The gas lamp of the lotus leaf mouth is on the wall above the table. Shade ordered food for the two of them and the cat, and then said sadly:

"Stop wearing the red butterfly pendant, let Lecia stop wearing it too."

"Why?"

The blonde girl asked curiously.

"Because it is very unlucky."

While waiting for the food, Shade briefly talked about the story that lasted from the Fifth Era to the present day. After Dorothy heard this, she covered her mouth and her eye circles were slightly red. It was not until the waiter in the restaurant brought fried shrimp **** and butter bread that she calmed down:

"This story is really great. Why does this happen? They are obviously sisters who have agreed to be together forever."

"This is Grace and Helen's own choice. We are just bystanders. Therefore, don't bring the red butterfly pendant."

Xia De stuck a shrimp ball on his fork and looked at the female writer opposite under the gas lamp:

"Your ending must be better than this. I swear."

After finishing speaking, he took off the food on the fork and handed it to the cat who had been bored in the box for a day. The cat picked up the warm food with his two front paws and looked at Shade with some worry. It was obvious that Shade was in a bad mood.

"Are you tired?"

Dorothy put the pendant around her waist on the table, then looked at Shade across the table and asked. Shade hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"I have experienced so many things, but this is the only thing."

"I understand."

She leaned forward slightly and grabbed Shade's left hand on the table. She looked at Shade with her green eyes. Shade could see that strong soul.

"Although I don't know what you are doing in Middleburg this autumn, Lesia and I both know that you have always wanted to help us. In fact, you don't have to work so hard. Maintain the status quo and you can have something in a distant place. We are already content with a soul tied to each other."

"Your other self is merging, and this cannot be regarded as maintaining the status quo."

Shadow shook his head, and Dorothy looked at him under the gaslight, looking at the three-dimensional shadow on his face when he lowered his head, and for a moment she didn't know what to say:

"Shadow."

"What's wrong?"

He raised his head, but the blonde girl shook her head with a smile and said softly:

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that if one day, Lesia and I can really look at each other face to face, or even touch and hug each other, we will definitely give you a very special gift."

It was calm tonight at No. 6 St. Teresa Square, and Shade had a good sleep. Perhaps because of the many experiences he had during the day, he had a strange dream.

In his dream, he somehow came to the forest and followed a beautiful red butterfly through the forest until he saw the old castle in the middle of the forest.

Then the dream became strange. First, Luvia, who was entangled in flames, suddenly appeared and attacked Shade. Then, Mia the cat whose body swelled into the shape of a big tiger, had "King" written on her forehead by someone unknown. word, and with the [Night Watch] in its mouth, it also wants to kill Shade.

This weird dream immediately frightened Shade awake. It was already Tuesday and it was already dawn.

I sat up sweating profusely, feeling my breathing was still short. Suddenly waking up, the scene in the dream still stayed in my mind, so that for a moment, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and dream.

【This is reality now. 】

"She" whispered softly.

"As long as it is reality. Oh, what a weird dream. I would rather watch the moon for a whole night again than have these messy thoughts entangle me."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat up and looked at the dark bedroom.

The weather is getting colder, and he has replaced the thin summer quilt with a thick quilt. After a while, the steam company will send someone to your door to discuss this year's heating bill. The price is not fixed across the city, and Shade also needs to prepare firewood for the winter in advance.

He plans to use the fireplace in his home, not only because Detective Sparrow's notes mention that there are more detective commissions during winter than in autumn, so he wants to create a "professional detective" atmosphere, but also because just relying on Ducted heating is somewhat inadequate.

After all, this house is too big.

"Meow~"

A soft cat meow came from the side of his hand, followed by the tickling feeling of Mia the cat rubbing the back of his hand. He reached out and touched the cat that had just woken up. Somehow, he thought of Mia, the "big tiger" in his dream, and couldn't help but smile.

The story of the Red Butterfly Twins is very sad, but Shade’s story will continue.

When he went downstairs in his slippers to get the newspaper and milk, he realized that the birthday gift Lecia asked him to send to Mrs. Louisa had already been delivered. An exquisite but not particularly expensive red gift carton wrapped the gift, and a blue ribbon tied a beautiful bow on the outside of the carton.

In order to prevent Shade from making mistakes, Lesia gave him a letter. It was a letter written by Lesia. Not only was her cursive handwriting on the letter, it also contained the smell of her perfume

"When did my nose become so sharp?"

While walking up the stairs, Shade put the bottle in front of his nose and sniffed it, making sure that his sense of smell was normal (note).

The letter not only mentioned what the gift was, how much it cost, and where it was purchased from, but it even wrote a sample birthday message to Mrs. Louisa for Shade to copy directly. The congratulatory message is appropriate, and the appropriate compliments and congratulations are neither humble nor arrogant. Foreigners have to learn the grammar of this world for a long time before they can have this kind of literary talent.

"A white fox fur scarf produced in North Delrayon County, and a newly published poetry collection "Love and Peace". Oh, this gift is really well chosen."

The cat squatting at the stairway on the second floor was waiting for Shade to go upstairs to heat goat milk. Seeing him standing on the stairs reading a letter, the cat meowed to urge him to go upstairs quickly.

It cannot miss the daily meal time.

After breakfast, Shade wrote a letter to Louisa's family in the study, and then wrote a letter inviting friends to his home tomorrow night to help hold a ceremony to seal the border on the third floor, and then went out to seal them Sent together to the Tobesk post office——

Gifts cannot be delivered to the mailbox at the street corner.

Then he took Mia Cat to Fort Midhill again, walked out of the forest in the thin morning mist, and walked towards the city below the mountain.

Midhill Fort is very strange today. The density of the morning fog is actually comparable to the autumn haze in Tobesk this morning.

You must know that the air in Tobesk, known as the "Steam Capital", is so bad recently because of the arrival of late autumn. Steam factories want to complete the last batch of production before winter arrives and heavy snow blocks traffic. In the autumn, Fort Midhill should not have such autumn morning fog at all due to the mountains, forests and monsoons.

As Shade came to the city, instead of weakening, the fog became stronger. On Santa Carla Avenue where Cassandra Auction House is located, Shade could only see forty feet (approximately 12.2m) away from the street corner.

Pedestrians on the street walked cautiously along the street. Lanterns were hung in front and behind the moving carriages, and the coachmen even kept shaking their bells to remind people to avoid them.

It happened that the boy selling newspapers passed by on the other side of the street. Shade waved and called the boy wearing a patched hat over. After counting out five pennies and handing them to him, he took the newspaper and asked:

"When did this fog appear? Eight o'clock? Seven o'clock?"

"No, sir, this fog suddenly fell from Sikal Mountain last night. I went to bed very early, but the flower seller Lana said that when she got up at night, she saw the fog pouring out of the mountain. Fog."

The brown-haired boy replied, hesitated, and then reminded in a low voice:

"This West Cal Morning News only costs fourpence."

"That penny is a reward for your honesty."

Shad said, then turned to look at Sikal Mountain:

"What's going on? Is it related to the resurgence of the Red Butterfly Twins yesterday?"

Walking into Cassandra Auction House, someone immediately led Shade to the reception room on the top floor.

Grandma Cassandra is already waiting for Shade as usual. Antique oil paintings are hung on the walls, and knight armors from hundreds of years ago stand beside the walls. Although the decoration style of the old witch is a bit old-fashioned, Surprisingly, it fits Shade's taste very well.

The young apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, temporarily acts as a servant serving tea for the two of them. Since Shade has already met her, there is no need to hide the existence of "this kind of man" from Shade.

"Why didn't you see Grace and Helen?"

Xia De still wanted to meet them.

The old witch held the tea cup and smiled, as if she had known that Shade would ask this:

"Because the ceremony has just been held, it is difficult to completely control the whispering elements in the teachers. In order to prevent us from causing trouble, they are temporarily living in the room in the basement of the auction house. The walls there have been professionally treated and are sufficient Temporarily containing angel-level relics, it has been used many times."

"Then me."

"Although it is still very dangerous now, you can go and meet with the teachers for ten minutes, and you will withdraw in ten minutes at most. I think the teachers also want to see you."

Grandma Cassandra put down her teacup and looked out the window at the fog:

"After so many years, I am almost leaving them. I am really happy that they can still meet you."

She seems a little sentimental and has deep feelings for Grace and Helen:

"Mother-in-law, do you know our story?"

"Yes, I heard the story about you and the teachers from the teacher more than a hundred years ago when I was Rita's age. But no one could have imagined at that time that you would really know how to do it. Appear."

The old witch laughed from her throat:

"This spring, teacher Helen Black suddenly appeared in front of me and told me that you finally appeared in Tobesk."

The old witch had a look of nostalgia on her face:

"That was one of the very few times I saw the teacher smile. She was really happy to see you again."

PS: In order to prevent readers from not understanding it, let me explain that Lecia deliberately sprinkled her usual perfume on the letter paper.
