The Whispering Verses Chapter 2067: 【Only Existence】
Chapter 2067 [The Only Existence]
Shad still remained cautious, tonight's unexpected encounter was not planned, and he really didn't want to come into contact with a strange witch like this. He still had a lot of things to do in the Moon Bay area. Dealing with the relationship with the witch would delay a lot of things, and he was not sure how the other party viewed an existence like his.
"Intuition?"
The voice coming from the car window seemed to be very interested in Shade’s answer:
"The intuition or inspiration of ring magicians is the most important feature that distinguishes us from ordinary people. But except for diviners, ordinary ring magicians only use their inspiration as a tool that occasionally helps them. Some people are even too afraid of their own inspiration."
The witch’s laughter seemed to be heard in the night fog:
"Madam, why are you hiding in the alley? Just now, weren't you still discussing with others on the roof, trying to find me?"
"Just now, were you the Belindel family, the ring warlock who took away the relic?"
Xia De was shocked, but when he asked the question, his tone remained calm:
"Madam, it turns out you heard us talking just now."
"You just chose the wrong person to talk to. The gentleman with five rings that the Hawthorne family came into contact with has a spell cast by me. If he talks about me with other people, I can hear some voices."
A woman’s voice came from the carriage window and asked jokingly:
"Since you are so interested in me, I will come to see you in person. The opera just now was boring, I hope the story you told will be more interesting. Introduce yourself, lady in the alley, who are you, What are you looking for?"
Although the tone was still soft, like a bored aristocratic girl talking leisurely about the weather with her servant, Shade heard the threatening meaning in the words.
After frowning slightly, he already had an idea. The advantage now is that he knows the identity of the other party, but the witch Belindel will never guess who he is:
"I'm not looking for you. I was entrusted by someone to find a high-level relic locally. I found out that a few months ago, the gang controlled by the Hawthorne family was also looking for a relic, so I suspected that The thing has been found by the other party in advance. If you heard our conversation just now, you should know my purpose."
"Oh? That's really it."
Shad heard a strange sound and then realized it was the sound of cards being drawn:
"However, what you are really looking for is probably not the relic that finally fell into my hands."
After Shade learned that the witch was a member of the Belindel family, he also knew that he was looking in the wrong direction. Because if the [Hope Diamond] had fallen into the hands of the great witch of fate two or three months ago, the clue Miss Benanis gave Shade would not have been to go to the Lower City, but to come directly to this A witch.
"What are you looking for?"
She asked Shade again, and Shade told the truth according to the plan:
"I hope you are not too surprised - the unknowable relic [The Diamond of Hope]."
"Oh?"
Since the conversation began, Shade finally heard the other party making a surprised sound. He could even guess how the beautiful face frowned and then smiled in the carriage window that he couldn't see.
"A noble lady sent me to Yuewan to look for that treasure. If I looked in the wrong direction, please allow me to apologize to you. I will forget our meeting tonight. As for what I am looking for Relic, that has nothing to do with you, and please don’t interfere with my affairs. That noble lady doesn’t want to cause trouble.”
As he spoke, he made a sound like he wanted to leave, and then he was stopped as a matter of course.
"Please wait a moment, [The Diamond of Hope]. So that's it."
The voice coming from the car window contained a growing smile:
"Maybe I know who you are, but I want to verify your identity first. Listen, lady in the alley, answer the next questions seriously, otherwise I guarantee you won't be able to leave here standing tonight. ――What’s behind the seat of the noble lady you’re following?”
Xia De was silent for a few seconds as planned, and then said:
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I am destiny."
There was a sound from the car window, and Shade deliberately made a surprised sound, and then said:
"The Earth."
"How is the business of the lady you follow?"
"She originally wanted to lead the opera troupe to the Tobesk region in the middle of this month. However, because of the plague in Willondale, the trip could only be delayed."
Then the sound of card drawing sounded again, followed by the final question:
"Madam, now do you know who I am? Since she sent you here, she will not fail to mention my identity."
"You are the tenth seat of destiny. I am not an apprentice like His Highness, so Miss Benenice will not tell me your true identity. Good night, Miss Belindel, may the witch shine Forever."
The great witch regarded Shade as the fate of Miss Bernice’s followers, and then said with a smile:
"That's right. Just admit it directly, so we don't have to waste time here. I told Benanis the news about the relic, but I didn't expect that she would send someone to find it herself. Why didn't you let me come? Help?"
The witch who fell into Shade's "trap" successfully misidentified Shade's identity, and Shade continued to explain:
"Miss Benenice and Miss Lassus think it's better not to trouble you. Besides, the relic has important uses for them, so the leader and deputy leader think it's better to be cautious."
"Understand, they trust you more than me."
This is not a reproach, more like a joke:
"Why are you still standing in the shadows? Come out and let me see what you look like. Since you are from the opera troupe, you must look very good, right? I remember that Vanessa has several very beautiful girls. ."
"Sorry, Miss Belindel, Miss asked me to hide my identity."
Xia De stood still, so the great witch of fate did not embarrass him:
"Look at you, you are really loyal. I didn't lie just now, you really investigated in the wrong direction. The relic that the ring warlock that the Hawthorne family contacted was looking for was an angel-level relic [the only one that exists], and you didn't want it Looking for [The Diamond of Hope]".
She probably thought Shade would be interested in this, so she explained a few more words:
"The angel-level relic [the only one that exists] is a hexagonal stone mirror. The purpose is very simple. Carve a name on the stone mirror, and then except for the person selected by the engraver, there will be no one else. Any existence that uses this name will change its name or disappear directly due to various reasons.
Xia De inhaled slightly. Although this characteristic is simple, what she described is definitely worthy of the "angel level" level:
"That is, if I will"
He thought of a random name:
"Put a name like 'Jenkins Willamt' on it so that no one else has that name except the Jenkins Willamt I know?"
"Yes, easy-to-understand relic properties that involve fate and something more elusive."
"But what if the name is more than just the name of the creature? For example."
Xia De gave another random example:
"Chocolate. If a black and white kitten is called chocolate, after the cat's name is engraved on it, there will be no other cats or other creatures called chocolate. But 'chocolate' itself refers to a type of item, which What will happen again? ”
The witch in the car window was very satisfied with the question raised by Shade, and looked at the alley at the edge of her vision with her face raised:
"The girl under Vanessa seems to have some wisdom. This is the most terrifying thing about this relic. Since it is the only one that exists, of course it is the only one. Either something big happens suddenly involving the entire world, The food like chocolate must be renamed, or the existence of chocolate itself will be completely erased, but in any case, thousands of people will be involved. Fortunately, there is a price to pay for engraving words on the stone mirror, otherwise this relic will be more than just one. An angelic relic."
After she finished speaking, she had no time to talk to Shade:
"Okay, okay, the night is already very deep. Didn't the red-haired Duke often say that lack of sleep is a lady's biggest enemy?
Although you don’t want me to see you, since you have come to Yuewan City and come to my territory, don’t think about being able to avoid me. The day after tomorrow, that is, at 1:30 pm on Sunday, go to the Parliamentarians Club in the city. Yes, it is the Parliamentarians Club next to the City Council in the central city and under Belinda Big Ben. I have something to tell you. Maybe you can help me. I do something. ”
She chuckled:
"Help me and you are also helping yourself. When operating in Yuewan City, with the background of the Belindel family, you can get a lot of convenience."
Xia De squinted slightly:
"Okay."
It looks like he's still in trouble, but that might be a good thing. As for what he will do on Sunday afternoon, he also has plans:
"Your cards."
He wanted to return the metal plate, but the lady in the carriage refused:
"You can stay, and I hope you will always be qualified to keep this card in your hand. Also, what should I call you?"
Just thinking for a moment, a name jumped into Shade's head:
"Sherlock."
The carriage has started at this time, and Shade is speaking Delarian, with the emphasis on the first syllable. But if the name is pronounced in Kasenlik language, the stress should be on the second syllable. So, the witch mistakenly heard it as another word:
"Miss Charlotte? A very nice name. See you on Sunday, don't hesitate to come."
The sound of the carriage faded away. Shade waited for a while before walking out of the alley. At this time, the back of the carriage had disappeared at the next intersection:
"Belindl."
He once again read out this surname that could affect the fate of many people in this city, but he didn't know what kind of new story tonight's encounter would bring to him.
