The Whispering Verses Chapter 907: Agelina’s ambition


Holding the cat with one hand, in order to prevent others from seeing his expression at this time, Shade lowered his head to straighten the folds of his clothes while walking. When he raised his head again, his peripheral vision swept across the corridor connecting the banquet hall, but he suddenly froze:

"Huh? Did I see it wrong?"

[That’s right, it’s him. 】

"Oh, my Mia."

Xia De groaned softly in his heart and walked quickly to the corridor on the first floor.

"Dr. Schneider!"

A few dozen seconds later, he walked through the crowd and came to the corridor. After shouting softly, at the other end of the empty corridor, the middle-aged man who was about to turn the corner stopped. Turning around to look at Shad, it turned out to be Dr. Bill Schneider.

The middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes was well-dressed to attend this banquet. His silk hat and formal suit looked quite good.

"Oh, good evening, Shade."

He stopped to say hello to Shade, not surprised that Shade also attended the banquet:

"I just heard about you. The darts game and the horse riding competition were really good. It seems that your social life is really colorful."

"Don't talk about it yet, doctor, why are you here?"

Xia De asked in surprise, quickly joined him and asked in a low voice. He still remembered that summer night, when he accidentally saw Dr. Schneider in Lakeview Manor, and that was the beginning of all his stories.

There is almost no one in the corridor on the first floor of the banquet. There are only some art exhibitions here. The sounds from the courtyard outside are louder than those inside, so there is no need to worry about the conversation being heard.

"this"

Dr. Schneider hesitated for a moment and then said:

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, I can even swear by my cat."

"This is unnecessary, it's not that serious."

The doctor shook his head and stood under the gas lamp at the corner. The gas lamps in Lakeview Manor were all replaced after the accident on a midsummer night. The church was worried that the unsuccessful divine descent had left hidden dangers in the manor, so the gas lamps all had the sun pattern of the Holy Emblem of the Sun.

"I came with Mr. Alan Madison."

After speaking, he added:

"You remember this gentleman, right? A correspondence cyclist from the Serkses Higher School of Medicine, who is the team leader like me. The last time you saw him with me in the Psalm Square, it was you who went to sell "Color" (Chapter 371)

"Oh, doctor, you don't need to remind me."

Shad immediately stopped him from continuing. Dr. Schneider's "Grand Memory Recovery Technique" was very effective:

"It's the spice merchant wearing a turban."

He nodded to show that he remembered.

The doctor continued to speak, looking around:

"Two correspondence-study ring magicians from Serkses Higher Medical School came from other places, and they are not from this region. According to the arrangement of the college, the two correspondence-study students from other places have to connect with Alan. During their stay in Tobesk, We will use the identities of their group to carry out activities. The two parties agreed to confirm their identities at the banquet tonight, but as you know, Alan is not a noble and has never participated in similar gatherings, so he invited me because he was worried that he would make a fool of himself if he came alone. Come together."

"So that's it."

Shad nodded slightly. Priest August did not contact the local team when he went to Fort Midhill because the old priest had a special status and had special missions for the church at the time. Her Royal Highness the Princess is obviously diligent and studious, unlike Priest August.

"However, I can't tell you who the two correspondence magicians from other places are"

After the doctor finished speaking, he smiled and added as if he couldn't help it:

“Their identities are very special. I was shocked when I heard about them.”

He looked like he wanted to share a secret with Shade, but couldn't.

Xia De nodded again and said nonchalantly:

"Her Highness Margaret of Anjou, and the poet Sir Regis Prichard."

"Huh?"

Dr. Schneider was surprised:

"What are you doing"

"I also have my own intelligence channels."

Xia De pointed upward and let the doctor guess.

The doctor did not ask about the source of the information, but instead issued an invitation:

"Since you already know, why don't you come with me. I think the princess wouldn't mind getting to know other ring wizards in the area. Moreover, you are also a noble, maybe you will have something in common with the princess and the knight. topic."

"No, no, doctor, I won't go with you."

Shad shook his head. He did not want to reveal his identity as a ring warlock in front of those two people for the time being:

"I have something urgent to do and I want to read a manuscript book."

"Is it an ancient book? The banquet is indeed a good place for trading. You can go about your business, but our group has a good relationship with Alan's group. If you still want to meet the two gentlemen from other places, Madam, you can let Alan introduce me later."

Dr. Schneider said, wanting to say goodbye, but suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, is something going to happen in this manor again? I just saw a few ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church, but I'm not sure if they are just here to attend the banquet or for something else."

"Probably to protect the princess."

Shad said, just as he was about to explain what happened in Huntington, he thought of the news that the witches said that a "big guy" was going to appear in Schluch Lake, so he warned:

"Doctor, please stay away from Lake Schluch tonight."

"What am I going to do there?"

Dr. Schneider asked doubtfully, but immediately understood, with a little panic on his face:

"Oh, you mean it won't be like that in the summer again, right?"

"No, no, it's not that serious. It's just a relic that hasn't been contained yet. A high-level warlock will handle this matter. Just don't get close."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief:

"This manor has left a deep impression on me. I don't want to be forced to use the language of sublimation again. So, I will go there first, Alan is still waiting for me. If you have anything, remember to contact the general manager at any time. I feel like something incredible is going to happen tonight."

The doctor groaned and turned to walk to the corridor on the other side.

Shad stood there and looked at the doctor's back. Past experience told him that when Dr. Schneider appeared at the banquet at night for strange reasons and bumped into him, something big would happen every time:

"What will happen?"

Thinking about the wedding banquet tonight, Xia De went from the first floor to the third floor. Just like before, the guards guarding the corridor where the lounge was located had no intention of stopping Shade.

Just before Shade knocked on the door of Lesia's lounge, the door opposite was opened, and the little princess Agelina was laughing with several other noble girls who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Then he walked out of the room opposite.

They were painting oil paintings in the room just now. Shade saw the easels standing by the window. The canvas was a somewhat abstract dark blue starry sky.

"Detective Hamilton."

Agelina was still chatting and laughing with her companions. When she raised her head and saw Shade, she greeted him with a smile and even said hello to Xiao Mia:

"Want to go for a walk in the garden with us? There seems to be a goose chase at the hedge maze. That would be fun."

The "goose driving game" refers to using wooden sticks or other means to drive the geese enclosed in the fence into the target location within a certain time limit. This may sound like a redneck game, but it's also popular among wedding parties.

Agelina was speaking when she suddenly froze because she realized which door Shade was standing in front of:

"Detective, you"

She had a frightened expression on her face and asked at a loss:

"What are you going to do?"

"Her Royal Highness Lesiya said that she has a handwritten copy of "Summer Night Collection" and invited me to read it together."

Shade said naturally, Agelina nodded first, and then seemed to have thought of something:

"Don't go, she is lying"

Squeak~

"Oh, Agelina, I thought you were still painting oil paintings, what are you talking about?"

The door was opened, and Lecia, who kept pushing the door, asked curiously.

"Sister, me"

The sixteen-year-old princess subconsciously took a step back, stammering and not knowing what to say. Lesia looked at her strangely, then reached out and grabbed Shade's wrist, pulling him into the room, and complained with some dissatisfaction:

"Really, why have you been waiting for so long? I just asked you to come quickly. Oh, knight, I am not so patient every time. You'd better respect the lady's invitation. Do you need me to ask someone to come? Are you kidnapped?"

After saying that, Peng closed the door with a bang, leaving Agelina standing there holding the corner of her skirt.

The youngest daughter of the Asberg family, who had already walked away, turned to call her, but Agelina shook her head and asked them to leave first.

When she was the only one left in the corridor, the little princess carefully walked to the door of Lesia's room, then bit her lip and put her ear to it.

She heard female laughter, cluttered footsteps, the clinking of wine glasses, the sound of curtains being pulled, cats meowing and the sound of closet doors. Then all sounds stopped suddenly as the silencing spell was thrown onto the carpet.

Although I couldn't hear anything at the moment, as soon as I thought about what might be happening inside, a feeling of being scratched by a cat's claws came to my mind. Agelina Cavendish put her ear to the door motionless. Even though she was standing in the brightly lit corridor and the indoor temperature was suitable, her loss and uneasiness still made her feel like she was standing on a snowy street. Imagining what was happening in the hot room at this moment, along with the grievance, there was actually an inexplicable emotion flowing out

"Oh~"

Suddenly he sighed softly, and then realized that his emotions were very abnormal. Agelina immediately left the door, touched her hot face, and then ran after her friends with her skirt lifted.

Turn around and glanced at the door again, Agelina Katherina Cavendish said softly in her heart:

"Hamilton Knight, I will definitely save you."
