The Whispering Verses Chapter 462: New World News

"Today is already the 10th day since Darkness left Coldwater Port."

This was Shade's sigh when he read the newspaper on Friday morning. He basked in the early morning sun, ate breakfast and petted the cat in the sun, and then tried his best to imagine Darkness hiding his identity in order to come to Tobes smoothly. effort.

After breakfast, the construction team arrived on time to continue the decoration. Shade locked the door on the second floor. He originally wanted to go to the basement to organize his books, but he didn't expect that a visitor would come to visit.

It wasn't the client who came to the door, but Shade's friend Captain Rades. He stood in Saint Teresa Square in surprise, looking up at the workers working on the roof of No. 6, but he hesitated to enter.

After looking through the window on the first floor and watching Shade moving a pile of books and organizing the bookcase, he knocked on the window, meaning that he didn't know if now was a good opportunity to visit.

Captain Rades came here for two purposes. One was to tell Shade that he would take a steam train to the front line on the first weekend of next month. The notice had been received, and the Captain had recently been packing his belongings and saying good-bye to his friends in Tobesk.

He will go to the southern front again, that is, the windy trail located at the northern foot of Sikal Mountain. As a brave Royal Army captain, he will guard the border to show his loyalty and bravery.

The second purpose of the captain's visit was to find something that Shade didn't find when he first went to his rental apartment.

The two were talking in the living room on the first floor. Since the walls had just been painted, the furniture was still in the basement. Shade found two chairs for the two of them to sit on. After the paint was dry, he put the furniture on. Tifa helped select stylish furniture that would make the living room look more formal:

"This is it. I found it among my old clothes when I was packing my luggage a few days ago."

The captain handed the amber-like pendant tied to a metal chain to Shade. He bet on Rhodes with a stranger in the tavern on Windy Path, and won the [Gun of Kindness] and this pieces of jewelry. [The Spear of Kindness] is a relic, so Shade once suspected that the jewelry was also a relic.

It's a pity that this thing was not found last time, and Shade had almost forgotten about it.

But unfortunately, this amber pendant is not a relic. It itself does not contain any elements. If you touch it with your hands, you cannot find any textures on the surface.

In other words, this is just an ordinary item.

"If both items are relics, I would be worried about Captain Rades' safety."

Although disappointed, it is reasonable. Shade was not a chosen one, so he did not have the luck to encounter relics frequently.

It happened that Shade was fine today, so Captain Rades invited Shade to go with him to the Veterans Club in the west city of Tobesk. Although it is a veterans club, it is not accessible to ordinary veterans.

Captain Rades introduced Shade to his friends, and of course Shade had enough business cards to distribute.

Everyone has heard of the name "Rejed's Hamilton" and warmly invites him to come to the club often when he has time.

So Shade spent Friday in the club, listening to the officers telling interesting stories about the front lines and complaining to each other about their treatment after retirement.

It was only then that Shade learned that Prince Sachs, who broke into the Yodel Palace with a gun, had actually been assigned to a position in the army a few years ago.

But he is in charge of the New World exploration and pioneering legion of the Kingdom of Delarian, so he is not in Delarian all year round, and his forces mainly stay in the New World. Now that Prince Sachs had been secretly arrested, several other naval and army commanders in the New World would soon remove any dissidents from their legions as a sign of loyalty to the king.

Coincidentally, Captain Rades’ friend, Colonel Dallas Hopps, had also been to the New World.

Shad was very interested in that distant land, so he curiously asked him about the situation in the New World. Colonel Hopps sat on the red cushions, smoking a cigar, raising his head and squinting as he recalled his past. :

"There is actually not much difference between the New World and the Old World, except that there are more forests, more ruins, more minerals, and fewer humans. I have seen many magical creatures there. You can imagine that they can fly. Lizard? ”

He showed off his knowledge to his friends:

"However, the New World is also very dangerous. Some areas are absolutely not allowed to be approached. The superior officer will mark the route on the map that cannot be deviated before we lead the team out alone, and every long distance During the expedition, the team must be accompanied by a priest from the Zhengshen Church.”

"Is it to relieve anxiety?"

Xia De asked.

"Probably."

The colonel took a puff of cigarette, then placed the long Nosan cigar in his hand in a special metal cigar ashtray and let it extinguish naturally. Cigars are not ordinary tobacco. It takes at least two hours to smoke one long cigar like the one in the colonel's hand.

At the same time, smoking cigars also requires special long wooden matches, metal cigar cutters and other tools. This is tobacco used by wealthy people in the upper class.

"I am actually a little afraid of the New World. There are many, um, strange things there. I once led a team to explore the direction of newly discovered gold veins in areas where it is inconvenient to indicate their locations. Those from Keldi The young men recruited from Nanjun are all brave and perseverant like me. But when we were camping at night, we saw one in the gap between the trees..."

He had a sullen face and didn't know what to say, and his face suddenly turned pale, so the others hurriedly used a little joke to get rid of the topic.

Shad now knew the reason why ring warlocks could not commit suicide, and his curiosity became more and more intense about St. Byrons's second ban on correspondence ring warlocks, which was that they could not travel to the New World.

(Little Mia is running...)

Saturday came like this. It was the time for the group meeting again. There was nothing to talk about this week. Shade was mainly repairing his house. He did not notify the academy about obtaining the spiritual runes, but thought about it. Let’s talk in a few weeks.

Professor Garcia sent another message. He was very satisfied with the final thesis submitted by Shade on the "Closed Space" course, and invited Shade to continue taking the "Closed Space" promotion class in the fall to explore The mystery of space.

It seems that Professor Garcia really appreciates Shade.

Study "Crazy Light Chaser" with Dorothy on Saturday night. Because Shade's house is being renovated, this time the class is held in Dorothy's rented apartment.

Shad heard from the blonde girl that Lesia will return to Tobesk next Tuesday. Because this is the return of the princess from her visit to Kasenlik on behalf of the royal family, the kingdom's honor guard and the team organized by the city hall will go to greet her, so Shade and Dorothy do not have to go to the station to pick her up.

"However, I haven't seen Lesia since last week? Don't you often switch bodies?"

Xia De asked curiously while holding the book.

"Unless necessary, we rarely disturb each other's lives. When necessary, only one of us is in danger, or Lesia wants to wander around the city."

Dorothy said, and then asked Shade:

"What? You miss Lesia very much?"

"Of course...but I would rather see her with my own eyes than see her appear in your body."

Xia De said, and the blonde girl laughed:

"You don't have to speak so carefully, I don't care about this. Okay, Shade, the break is over, let's continue the class. "Tree Kiss" ended because of an accident, I don't believe it, "Crazy Chase" What other surprises could there be in "The Light One", which would make me feel very unfulfilled? Now, answer my question again, what is light?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"Um...bond?"

"What kind of strange way of understanding is this?"

Dorothy asked curiously.

So Shade spent another half an hour using a more localized narrative technique to tell the story of a super-ancient hero who could turn into light and fight against evil monsters.

This delayed the teaching time tonight, and when Dorothy was ready to go home, it was already close to eleven o'clock at night. The gentlemanly stranger sent her back to Quill Street in person.

When the two parted under the apartment on Quill Street, Shade received a kiss on the side of the face as a gift. This time he was sure that it was Dorothy who kissed him.
