The Whispering Verses Chapter 816: Breakfast in the morning light
The serious injuries suffered by the Burning Godhead should have kept Shade in bed for at least half a year before he could walk on the ground, but the thanksgiving gifts given by the departing souls completely healed the scars on his soul and body.
It's just mental fatigue that can't be solved by sleeping for a few hours. Coupled with the physical and mental burden brought by becoming a god, Shade fell into a deep sleep and didn't even know how he got back to the bedroom.
When he woke up dazedly in his bed, he stared at the familiar ceiling for a moment, and then realized that he must have missed feeding the cat more than once:
"It should be no problem. Luvia has a spare key and will definitely help me feed the cat."
The bed is so soft and the quilt is so warm. The confusion that I felt after waking up gradually fades away. I think that I am sleeping in my own house, and even the ground under my feet is my own. That comfortable feeling, It makes Xia De feel even more happy:
"I have been running around for two months, and the story of Fort Midhill is finally over. The chosen one to die is Sister Devlin, and Grace and Helen also got their wishes. Not to mention, I did A good thing, let those souls who should have left long ago leave. This autumn is really meaningful."
He touched the side in this happy mood, but did not touch his cat.
Hold on to the bed and prepare to get up. Because you have been lying down for too long, your body even feels sore. But with the original fire flowing in the body, this little discomfort disappeared in an instant:
"It's a new day."
I waved my hand at the curtains, through which sunlight penetrated through gaps, and the curtains were pulled aside with a clattering sound, revealing the morning view of Tobesk, the prosperous "Pearl of the North" outside the window. The weather is good today. Although it is still foggy, the late autumn morning light is still so bright. Black smoke can be seen coming from chimneys in the distance, and the city's steam pipes and metal roof decorations shine in the morning light:
"Sure enough, I prefer the city of Tobesk to the haunted city of Fort Midhill."
[Is that because Tobesk has your most valuable real estate? 】
"She" said with a smile and seemed to be in a good mood.
Most of the ghosts in the narrow space of life and death have left, and the narrow space itself has been heavily sealed by the "Kiss of the Tree" and the "Scar of the Holy Tree". If you want to accumulate so many undead, at least there must be more. Tens of thousands of years. But Fort Midhill cannot return to normal immediately. It may continue to be haunted for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the situation will not be particularly serious. It will just add some strange urban legends to the Old World.
"This can be considered a characteristic of the city. Let the church worry about those problems."
It was 8:32 a.m. on Friday. Shade had slept for nearly thirty hours since falling asleep in the early hours of Thursday morning. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. Although he still had many things to deal with in Fort Midhill, such as meeting Sister Devlin, listening to the story of Priest August, and confirming the safety of Iluna. , to retrieve the night watchman, to attend Miss Aurora's party, to check the health of Grace and Helen
But none of these things have to be done immediately. Shade wants to rest at home for a few days. At least, get through this weekend.
"Chasing the figure of the chosen one is getting more and more dangerous every time."
He sat on the bed and smiled out the window. But at least the harvest is good. In addition to the final confirmation of the identity of the third candidate, the most important thing is that it is also one of the reasons why he chose to go up the mountain on Wednesday night——
Turning his head slightly, he looked at the red butterfly pendant placed on the low cabinet beside the bed. The two red butterflies were put together, and the whispering element of the sage-level relic made Shade so happy for the first time:
"This pendant has always been carried by Grace and Helen. It has probably never been taken into custody. Dorothy and Lesia still need to carefully study the conditions and characteristics of the holding. However, they were finally able to meet. , although it cannot completely solve their problems, but at least they can meet."
I smiled and stretched, and then saw the Rhodes deck next to the red butterfly pendant, and the smile on my face became brighter:
"If the total points exceed 21 when this card is drawn, select one of the cards already used and exchange it with this card. The special effect of the selected card is invalid - [Creation・Death]. It’s really good, it’s really good.”
Just as he was about to get out of bed, there were footsteps outside the bedroom. Presumably someone in the house heard the curtains and knew that the bedridden detective had woken up.
Shad turned around and saw Tifa walking from the door holding a dinner plate.
Open half of the curtains and let the morning light pass through the window, shine on the quilt, and then shine on the door.
The long black hair hangs down behind her, and she wears a lace-decorated headscarf on her head. The neckline is tied with a small dark blue bow with a ribbon, and underneath is a row of silver buttons. The cumbersome dress has a plain collar, and outside the dress is a white apron with ruffles. The apron is tied with a dark blue bow on the side waist. It is not very close-fitting, but whether it is the layers of fabric decoration on the chest or the waist The skirt straps inside the apron can highlight her figure. The dress almost covered her feet, but in the gap between the low-heeled black leather shoes and the hem of the skirt, she could still see that she was wearing a pair of white stockings.
The black hair was tied behind the ears. Although the makeup on the face was light, the makeup was still exquisite. Her skin was as white as milk, her small nose was slightly upturned, her brown to dark eyes were shining in the morning light, and her red to pink lips had clear lip lines, making Shade wonder whether she was wearing lipstick.
Tifa hesitated at the door, and little Mia, who was following at her feet, rushed straight into the room. The maid also looked at Shade, who was sitting on the bed facing the morning light. The young man looked at her with a smile. Even though she had seen him many times, she still almost couldn't hold the plate in her hand.
That smile moved Miss Servitt's heart.
[It seems I forgot to remind you. 】
A voice came from Shade’s ear:
[The gratitude of thousands of souls will make living beings more willing to get closer to you. 】
"Shad, are you awake yet? How do you feel now?"
Tifa walked in, and Mia the cat had jumped onto the bed first, stepping on the quilt excitedly, wanting Shade to hold it. Shade noticed that the cat still had the [Vampire Ring] on its tail.
"I feel pretty good now, oh, this breakfast is really rich, your cooking is very good."
Shad said, holding one hand against Mia who was about to launch a "charge":
"Where is Luvia? Is Miss Carina still there?"
He stretched his head towards the living room.
"Miss Anat has now gone to work for the Prophet Association. According to the schedule, the lady is probably at the Yodel Palace to talk to His Majesty about the tax issues in the past two years."
Tifa said softly, instead of pulling up a chair to sit down, she held her hands together and stood beside the bed. Facing the sunshine, there was a gentle smile on her fair face. She was very happy that Shade could wake up smoothly:
"Miss was worried that you would not have anything to eat after you woke up, so she left me here. I expected to wake up at noon, but I didn't expect to wake up so early."
Tifa handed the plate to Shade, who took it and placed it on the quilt on his lap. He usually wouldn't eat in bed, but since he planned to rest for a while, it would be nice to relax once in a while.
Picked up the hard-boiled eggs and carefully peeled them off. As the shell peels off, the tender and white interior is exposed, and even has an attractive white smoke because it has just been cooked.
Mia squatted aside and watched eagerly, but she knew there was no need to grab it, Shade would definitely give it to her.
"This tastes really good."
Xia De praised again and then asked:
"Since I slept all day, is there any new news from Fort Midhill?"
"Yes, everything is over. Although many innocent people died that night, the city was not in turmoil. Two strange gods appeared at the foot of Mount Sikal, although I don't know what the great ones were doing. , but in the battle of Fort Midhill, the living people won."
"That would be great. As for the two gods"
Shad glanced at Mia:
"It is difficult for us to guess the intentions of the great ones, but perhaps the pursuits of the gods are not as complicated as mortals imagine."
Tifa’s eyes curled up:
"Maybe that's true, but fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with us in Tobesk."
"There are still chosen ones."
"The great witches of the Council are very happy. Sister Devlin and the Spiritual Cult have been friends of the Council for many years and have maintained a very good relationship with the Council."
Having said this, Tifa couldn't help but smile and looked at the young man carefully peeling eggs on the bed:
"Your Excellency the Speaker is very happy, and so is the lady. The third section of the murmuring poem has ended. The Parliament has finally ceased to be a mere pursuer and has become one of the participants. All this is thanks to you."
"No, no, this has nothing to do with me."
Shad hurriedly denied it, but Tifa shook her head, then bent slightly in front of the bed, stretched out her finger and put it in front of Shad's mouth:
"You don't have to belittle yourself. Miss Aurora privately relayed to the lady what Sister Devlin said, thanks to your help, Iluna Bayas was able to defeat Joey Barton, Joey Barton himself That’s what he said. ”
Shad did not deny it again, and Tifa also retracted her finger.
Shad continued to stare at the egg in his hand, hoping that he could peel it flawlessly. He inhaled slightly, and besides the smell of eggs and breakfast, he could also smell Tifa's perfume.
"When the lady and Miss Anat opened the door of death for you, the three of us all obtained new spiritual runes, all of which were the purest [death]. The lady was happy for this, she She has been trapped in the Eleventh Ring for a long time, and this harvest means that she still has the possibility to go further."
Tifa continued.
Xia De nodded:
"What about you? How far are you to the next link?"
"It should be soon, thank you for your help."
The black-haired maid said softly.
"Where can I help? The girl is playing thirsty and silently marching forward to confront Song Yao? Otherwise, I will still be waiting for the door to open in the middle of death. Maybe I will play Rhodes with my friends in death, otherwise it will be simple. The waiting is really boring.”
Shad smiled and joked, and Tifa also pursed her lips and smiled, which made the dimples on her face more obvious.
Then the maid shook her hair slightly, turned to look outside the door, as if she wanted to confirm that there was no third person in the house, and then turned to look at Shade again. The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes seemed to be shining:
"Maybe the lady and I should thank you."
Xia De has already peeled the round and soft egg on the bed, and is proudly admiring its round and flawless appearance in the morning light. The cat looks up at the egg in the morning light, eager to try and prepare to take off:
"You don't have to thank me. But next time, I won't do such a dangerous thing again. You can't imagine what the fighting was like on Wednesday night. The undead I saw that night were a whole lot bigger than me." I see more living people every year.”
Tifa pursed her lips and asked softly:
"So, do you need me to help you relax?"
"Huh? What?"
Shad looked away from the egg and looked up at the black-haired girl beside the bed in surprise. With a blush on his face, the latter leaned over and without consulting Shade, he snatched the perfectly peeled egg and put it on the dinner plate. Then he picked up the dinner plate and stirred Shun. Crotch is thin during meal?br/>
"Yeah"
Xia De didn't know what the maid wanted to do.
Tifa smiled and looked at him with her hands behind her back, her fingers slightly bent. With a bang, the bedroom door closed; with a crash, the curtains closed again, leaving only a trace of light on the midline of the bed and Tifa's body.
Her face was slightly red, and she looked down at Shade on the bed, and then stretched her hands to the buttons under the collar, which reflected the morning light that came in through the gaps in the curtains. Peeling off the first three pills reveals a fair neck, and the skin can even reflect light.
Suddenly he stopped and turned around to pick up the hot egg. Turning back to Shade, the fair face was getting closer and closer. The rosy cheeks have shallow dimples, and the black eyes have a shy and wumei look.
The egg is placed into the unbuttoned collar.
"Shadow."
My voice trembled slightly because of the heat.
The slender fingers continued to unbutton the fourth button in front of Sha De:
"Do you need me to serve you a meal?"
The voice was very soft, and white light penetrated the midline of her face. In the morning light, her nose was very beautiful, but her big eyes were even more beautiful.
"I"
"I will not cross that line until the lady allows me to do something, but I am not just a subordinate of the lady."
She slowly approached Shade until Shade could even see her own reflection in Tifa’s beautiful eyes:
"Knight, I am the Duke's servant. I was sent to serve you temporarily because of your bravery. Although I envy your strength and bravery, I am not a maid who has an affair with a guest. I will go to the Duke later. , I don’t want the host to suspect that we are doing something bad, so the meal time is only ten minutes.”
Tifa said very serious words, but with a smile in her tone. She stood by the bed and reached out to hug Shade's head:
"Be careful, this egg is very hot."
"I"
Xia De didn't quite understand why this happened suddenly, and he suspected that he still hadn't woken up.
[This is reality. 】
Mia screamed dissatisfied, not knowing why she stopped eating.
Tifa bit her lip and reminded carefully:
"Knight, please be gentle when eating."
