The Whispering Verses Chapter 2034: The whereabouts of the Silmaril
The lively birthday party lasted from the evening until late at night. In order to make the atmosphere more lively, the maids in the manor also participated to enhance the atmosphere.
The sumptuous meals, interesting banquet games, everyone’s laughter as they shared stories, and the family gathering together made the atmosphere of joy last until late at night.
Megan and Audrey were the first to leave. They used special relics to temporarily come to Tobesk, but they must go back when the time is up;
Iluna also left second because she still had work the next day. Some drunk girls pulled Shade’s sleeves and said something that no one could understand before leaving, but Miss Carina I doubt whether she was really drunk;
Grace and Helen were the third to leave. Although the Red Butterfly girl could stay with Shade and leave the area of Miburg, she still couldn't do this for a long time;
Agelina was reluctant to leave, even saying that she wanted to attend the next party, but she was still forced back to the city by her sister and aunt:
"Be more reserved. Agelina, the princess of the Cavendish family, how can you be like this?"
This is what Lesia said when she put Agelina into the carriage.
As for Lecia, Dorothy, Miss Carina and Luvia who were left behind, the foreigners didn’t really want to recall what happened next that night.
After the birthday party, Tifa handed Shade a red hard-covered program list and claimed that this was the next performance that Shade could choose from:
"Here's a real birthday present for you ladies, these shows take place over a day or so."
Before Shade opened it, he thought it was Miss Carina who invited the troupe to celebrate his birthday, but after opening it, he saw "The Cavendish Dance" and "Prize Quiz: Blindfolded Guessing" ""Princess Writer Magic Show", "Fabric Exhibition Experience", "Tango for Two", "The Art of Bondage", "Maid Dressing Experience Show", "Wine Tasting", etc. The names are quite inappropriate.
Only the last piece of the show, "Opera: Four Heroes Defeat the Unclean Knight," looked normal. I don't know if it was a wheel battle or a joint action by the braves.
In short, it's Shade's birthday, and the girls don't mind a little indulgence. The manor originally belonged to Shade's guest room. Now he stays in the master bedroom every time he comes, on the bed that is blocked by curtains. After that, many stories happened.
They didn't know what they had discussed in advance. When Shade was pushed into the room on Sunday night, the curtains were immediately drawn. Before Monday evening, the doors and windows of the entire Carina Manor had not been opened again.
Xia De has the thaumaturgy of "Contacting the Father of the Infinite Tree" and will not miscalculate the time. A real birthday party was specially prepared for him in the closed manor. Compared with the gifts from the princess, writer and female fortune teller at the end of the year, this time the gift was more thoughtful from the duchess and seemed more enthusiastic and confusing to outsiders. .
On Monday afternoon, although one of Dorothy and Lesia left because the Red Butterfly Day was over, in fact, as long as one of them was there, it was equivalent to everyone being there.
Shad felt like they wanted to help him test his physical limits, or maybe they really just celebrated his birthday. However, physical activities like this that did not involve the consumption of the soul and the environment did not have a negative impact on him. Even if the girls could take turns to rest to recover their physical strength, when the lively party was over, only Shade and the red-faced The maids and ladies enjoyed the dinner on Monday evening.
Without the constraints of the mistress of the manor, the maids also raised glasses together to congratulate Shade on his birthday at dinner that day.
At this point, the stranger has gone through his first year in this world, and the story in the future will be very long.
Continuous physical exercise is still very tiring, so although the birthday party only lasted until Monday evening, the girls asked Shade to rest until Tuesday morning.
In their free time, they like to listen to Shade saying all kinds of love words to them that they never tire of hearing, although Shade himself doesn't feel that they are love words. Even if they are not resting in the bedroom, Shade can still talk to them about various things in the study, or they can go for a walk on the lawn of the manor courtyard together. Megan Audrey and Helen Grace aren't here, but there's still a family feel here.
At noon on Tuesday, the family finally had lunch together again. Dorothy could not get up in the morning. Although she had two souls, she had only one body.
The atmosphere at lunch that day was also quite harmonious. The radiant ladies with red hair, brown hair and blond hair talked and laughed about interesting things in life, and talked about things related or unrelated to Shade. Shade noticed that Luvia always looked at him quietly, but when he looked at her, she suddenly turned her head away from him.
As for the birthday party, no one took the initiative to mention it again. It was a special commemorative event held to commemorate Shade's birthday. The girls are still a little shy about this. Even if they don't mind messing around with Shade, if Shade wants to do a similar activity, it may take a long time.
For example, this year’s New Year’s Day.
After lunch, the purple-eyed girl asked him coyly in private;
"I used to spend the night at your house, weren't you actually that happy?"
Shad was confused for a moment before asking Luvia to remember to go to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square tonight. Luvia showed a scared expression, but still nodded, and then kissed Shade goodbye like Dorothy, leaving Shade to stand at the door of the manor house and watch the carriage drive them away.
Actually, Shade is planning to open this month's black time key tonight, and it's time to go find the long-haired Luvia and ask some questions.
In short, the new week for Shade officially begins on Tuesday. After lunch, Shade did not leave immediately because he had to wait for Miss Carina to return after attending a meeting of the Witch Council two hours later.
While waiting, he retrieved the cat that he had not had much contact with in the past two days. Little Mia seemed quite angry with him at first, but then Shade touched him a few times, fed him some afternoon tea snacks, and let him go again. Lying on his lap, the cat returned to normal.
The maids who were just serving Shade while he was reading and drinking afternoon tea in the study room would suddenly turn red when Shade saw them, and then walk away quickly with their heads lowered. This almost made Shade think that he had suddenly obtained some kind of eye magic from the "Pink Book".
Fortunately, Tifa discovered the abnormality of the maids, called them away and gave them a few words of discipline, and the maids barely returned to normal:
"Everyone is just a little 'afraid' of you."
When she bent down to pour tea for Shade, the head maid explained softly. Then he kept bending down, turned his head slightly, blinked at him a few times with his brown eyes, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Happy birthday, Shad."
Xia De felt his heart stop beating for a few seconds:
"Thank you."
"Vanessa, Emma and Sylvie, let me say happy birthday to you. Also, Vanessa did find out about the 'Hope Diamond'."
After the meeting in the afternoon, Miss Carina, who returned from the parliament, also brought good news to Shade. Shade put down the "Psychic Compass" that Miss Danist gave him on Green Island, and saw the Duchess sitting down on the sofa in the study. She didn't seem very happy about it.
"Shad, that relic will definitely not be in Tobesk so precisely. If you really want to find it, I'm afraid you have to go somewhere else."
Xia De shook his head indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. After a whole month of rest, it's time to do some activities. Where? The New World or the Old World, or in the Islands?"
He asked while holding the cat, and the red-haired witch pointed to the map hanging in the study:
"The west coast of the Old World, Moon Bay area."
Xia De frowned slightly:
"It's so far away, and it's Kasenlik."
"City of Wealth - Moon Bay City. I don't know if you know it. Although the Moon Bay area is the land of Kasenrik, it has great autonomy rights. A joint city council composed of nobles who have seized wealth , controlled most of the power in that area. The nobles and a small number of wealthy businessmen sitting on the golden seats created by wealth made the city that was bright and beautiful on the surface secretly filled with darkness. ”
Miss Carina said and gave a vivid example:
"You can think of the nobles of Moon Bay as a beggar version of the Witch Emperor."
Shad laughed. The Outsider had talked about that city with Lesia some time ago, and he already knew Moon Bay because of Sparrow Hamilton’s incident, so she didn’t need to introduce much:
"But it is also a paradise for Old World adventurers who are unwilling to go to the New World. If you want to get ahead, you can always find opportunities in that city where gold and steam revolution technology are piled up, and gears and clockwork rotate. Of course, The premise is that it is not used as the flesh and blood lubricant of the city. So, where is the 'Diamond of Hope'? Or what are the vague clues?"
"Read the letter Vanessa gave you yourself."
Miss Carina handed the envelope to Shade, and Shade asked with some confusion:
"I remember, isn't it true that items can't be passed around easily in the council? The items brought by anyone can only be taken away by the owner and cannot be taken away by other witches."
"This was originally the case, but now that sisters Vanessa and Megan have advanced to the twelfth level, the parliament also has more diverse functions."
She sighed sadly:
"We great witches are incomparable to those witches in the Fifth Era who are at least the thirteenth level and even reach the top of the demigods. Because of this, the council has many restrictions on us. The space left by the ancient gods is definitely not just With the current power, as for the full functions of the parliament, I am afraid that only the Speaker can know them all."
Shade then opened the letter, which contained not much. Through her friends in the Moon Bay area, Miss Benanis found out that about twenty years ago, a local fortune-teller claimed to have found the relic. , but subsequent investigations by the church and various forces yielded no results.
No one can be sure whether the unknown relic is really in the hands of the fortune teller. But it is a level 0 relic after all. When the church heard about this twenty years ago, it wanted to "protect" the other party. Unfortunately, the fortune teller got the news in advance and ran away.
But the exact information shows that the fortune teller is still in the Moon Bay area. Although it is impossible to determine when he or she returned, by finding that person, it is possible to find out the current whereabouts of the "Hope Diamond".
