The Whispering Verses Chapter 1656: Meeting of witches
Friday, before dawn, 4:57. Witch Council.
The skylight of unknown origin shines downward from the white mist at high altitudes, and at the bottom of the ancient stone steps that gather towards the middle, at the round table, the late-night meeting is still going on.
"Then the arrangements for the operation in the Green Lake area have been decided for the time being.
Vanessa and Carina still go to the Green Lake area as originally planned according to their identities; Xiwei should not go with his real identity this time. The church’s investigation to investigate the big witch has already started targeting you. In the past few years, it is indeed suspicious that you go to discuss business wherever the chosen one appears; Granny Cassandra, please arrange your own actions. Thank you very much for your willingness to participate in this operation. In fact, you don't have to do this. As for Emma, since Princess Margaret is not yet sure whether to go to Green Lake to participate in negotiations, you can choose the right time and go to Green Lake secretly and hide your identity. ”
The tall blond witch sat in the main seat at the round conference table of the [Witches' Council]. Looking from the back of the stone chair that symbolized the identity of the "Speaker", one could only see the symbol representing "time" engraved on the seat and her long, silky hair.
To her left and right, the twelve ladies sitting around the round table nodded together:
"Yes, Your Excellency Yin Sabella."
The witch’s voice is very gentle, with a unique affinity but without losing its majesty:
"I want to emphasize again that we did too much in the Randall Valley some time ago. This preliminary investigation was mainly based on Audrey who was already there, and Carina and Carina who arrived later. Vanessa assists. Mother-in-law, Xi Wei and Emma will not leave until the preliminary investigation is completed and the mirror-hiding man mentioned by Audrey and the Thirteen Rings of the Prophet Association are mentioned. Fortune tellers, these people are not easy to deal with. I hope you can stay graceful and not lose your dignity by being careless.”
After a moment of pause:
"The fifth topic is over. Does anyone have other topics or ideas? If not, the meeting will be adjourned."
"I have something to say!"
The red-haired duchess sitting in the "balance" position said, Carina Cavendish was wearing a purple robe. Seeing everyone looking at her, she said:
"I just have a question, why do we have to hold meetings until four o'clock in the morning? No, it's already five o'clock!"
It can be seen that the duchess is very concerned about this:
“Not sleeping well can be very harmful to your skin!”
Her opinion was supported by most of the ladies. When the big witches began to discuss, the "time" witch on the speaker's seat raised her hand and patted it twice, and looked from behind the chair. She could see There were no rings on her white hands.
The voices of the great witches stopped immediately.
"The meeting started at ten o'clock last night. I didn't expect that there would be so many things this time, except for Emma's new invention and business, Wei Ge's illness, and the angelic relic reported by Vesenna. In addition to the news, Carina and Audrey both brought up the matter of the thirteen-ring warlock in the Green Lake area. Of course, there is also the new talent of the Cavendish royal family, which I still need to consider."
She paused:
"I agree with Carina, lack of sleep is indeed harmful to the skin. But meetings are still important, aren't they?"
Her voice was gentle, but all the ladies at the table felt threatened. Only Granny Cassandra still had a kind smile on her face.
"The meeting is adjourned now. If you have anything else to do, remember to leave a message in the council. I will see it. Also, Audrey, are you feeling better?"
She asked the great witch of "Knowledge and Wisdom" again, so the lady with brown shawl hair nodded slightly:
"Your Excellency Speaker, I have no problem and will be fully recovered soon."
"Well, being able to escape from the [Mirror Hidden Man] also proves that you are better than we thought. If you need it, don't be stingy about asking other people for help."
She stood up, picked up the notebook and pen on the table, and took the lead towards the light door that appeared behind the chair.
When she really left, the remaining witches packed up the things on the table and left one after another. The girls were talking to each other, and Audrey Edwards, the great witch of knowledge and wisdom, signaled Carina Cavendish, the great witch of balance, to stay, while Emma Sylvia, the great witch of space, also pretended Zuo packed up her things and did not leave immediately. After all, she had the most things on the table.
The witch of earth, Vanessa Benenice, patted Miss Carina on the shoulder and left together with the great witch of light, Sylvie Aurora. The parliament fell silent, and the inexplicable skylight extended upwards from layer to layer until it shone above the ancient stone stairs blending into the white mist. The light was very soft, making the ladies' handsome faces even more beautiful.
Audrey Edwards glanced at Miss Sylvia who deliberately did not leave, and then said to Miss Carina:
"There were some things just now, and I didn't tell the truth to the Speaker."
The Duchess tilted her head:
"What happened?"
"In the Green Lake area, I met a helper. A very powerful helper... Although it was only in Central, I was able to escape from the Mirror Man, thanks to him, I mean, thanks to her ."
Miss Sylvia glanced at Miss Carina, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the red-haired witch nodded calmly:
"You want me to not tell the Speaker of her existence after I arrive in the Green Lake area and see her? No problem, but..."
She showed a teasing smile:
"Audrey, are you in love? Tell me about that girl."
The witch with short brown hair pursed her lips:
"Duke, I am not joking with you. I will talk to you in detail when you arrive in the Green Lake area. The place is not peaceful, and the negotiations between the two countries have also increased the church's vigilance about the Hidden Mirror and Thirteen Sooner or later, other people will know about the Ring Seer. And that island... my family is not that simple."
"Oh, since last year, I have been involved in almost every candidate's affairs. You don't need to remind me of these. Audrey, in your mind, what do I do on weekdays? Participate in boring events in the palace Afternoon tea party and salon? ”
Miss Carina was just joking at first, but Audrey Edwards thought about it and really gave her answer:
"In my imagination, you spend most of your time in your own territory, holding a beautiful female bard in the palace and flirting with her."
Miss Sylvia, who was listening to the conversation between the two, still couldn't hold back her smile, but no one looked at her. Miss Carina's mouth twitched a few times:
"This is the misunderstanding of the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era by the Ring Warlock scholars of the Sixth Era. And I am not that free. I would also like to remind you of a common sense mistake - Saladir County is still Delarian's territory is not my private territory. As for the beautiful female bard... I don't have this in Tobesk City."
She has only handsome knights in Tobesk.
Audrey Edwards was noncommittal:
"You don't have to give me the balance for the Cat in the Bottle. The production of the bottle of potion is also very helpful to me. When you arrive at Green Lake, I will discuss the matters there with you in detail. I'll just do the investigation myself. In addition, I want to talk to you about what happened when you broke through from the eleventh level to the twelfth level."
Miss Carina nodded:
"See you at Green Lake."
Audrey Edwards then stood up and left.
There were only two people left in the parliament. Miss Sylvia put her left arm up on the round table of the parliament to support her face, tilted her head and asked the duchess:
"Has she met Shade? That powerful 'lady' from Central."
As he spoke, he smiled again. No one except Miss Carina knew that Shade had been in Green Lake recently.
"Yes, you guessed it right, wherever there is trouble there is Shade, and wherever there are witches there is Shade."
The red-haired witch said, everyone could understand the emotion in her tone:
"She is still worried and hasn't told Shade clearly who she is, so I asked Shade to play role-playing games with her for a few weeks. She is so old and still pretending to be a little girl."
"So, the chosen one from space is really in Green Lake? Who does Shade and Luvia Anat suspect?"
Miss Sylvia asked again.
"Edwards, all of Edwards, including Audrey and Megan."
"Oh? You mentioned her real name and her pseudonym at the same time...is that so? That's interesting."
The youngest witch of this generation is thoughtful:
"Let Shade be more careful. I can't even imagine how he and Audrey escaped from the Mirror Hidden Man. Although this is not the first time he has been involved in danger..."
Miss Sylvia sighed, put the documents on the desktop into a brown paper bag, and suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, Carina, you look very good recently. Are you using new cosmetics?"
"Really?"
Miss Carina touched her face with a smile on her face:
"It's not cosmetics. This shows that the method in Shade's "Secret of Agelessness" works."
"Is that all?"
Miss Sylvia raised her eyebrows:
"Also, although you have just been promoted to the twelfth ring and the twelfth level, recently I feel that your power is rapidly approaching Xiwei. Siwei Avora has stayed at the twelfth level for five years. ."
"This shows that my talent is better than everyone thought. Didn't the Speaker also say that I am in good shape recently?"
But the great witch of space will not believe this:
"You...didn't happen to Shade?"
Golden eyes looked into golden eyes, and the council suddenly became quiet. Sylvia tried to see something in Miss Carina's eyes, but the Duchess had been trained in the palace since she was a child, and hiding her emotions was the most basic training content:
"Why do you think so?"
She retorted:
"You are tarnishing the reputation of witches and men, ha, that's ridiculous. And we are sisters, we can't lie to our own people."
"That's it."
Miss Sylvia nodded slowly:
"Just pretend I didn't say it, but your condition is indeed beyond your original talent. This is also a good thing. Now including you and Xiwei, there are already three twelfth-level members in the council. I don't know who will be in the end. To be able to follow in the footsteps of His Excellency the Speaker and be the first to break through to the thirteenth level."
The red-haired duchess pointed to herself confidently:
"The ice crystal that the demigod witch gave to Shade helped me a lot. Level 13 is not impossible for me."
Miss Sylvia smiled:
"So how's Shade doing lately? Besides being busy with Green Lake, is he doing other things? Say hello to Shade for me. I'm so envious that you can always be by his side."
The two talked about Shade's recent activities, and then Miss Sylvia left the parliament with information about her business and inventions.
Carina Elena Cavendish sat in her seat, looking at the empty parliament illuminated by the soft white skylight, and sighed softly.
Then she stood up and prepared to leave. He just turned around suddenly and reached out to hold the back of his seat. She looked around at the other twelve ancient chairs around the round table with a smug smile on her face.
