The Whispering Verses Chapter 2172: Dragon scales of various colors

After bidding farewell to Shade and Luvia, Iluna and Emilia went to the study to verify every detail of the [Order of Doom] and the four relics that appeared next to Emilia. .

Originally Iluna was a little unhappy with Emilia's appearance, but as the two gradually became familiar with each other, all these small emotions disappeared. During the break between talking and recording, Emilia praised Iluna’s talent without hesitation:

"I have heard of many powerful seniors and sisters in the academy, but none of them can compare to you."

Iluna smiled reservedly. She had heard similar words many times, but she was never proud of them. After all, in her opinion, Shade is the real genius, and she was only able to reach this point with the help of Shade and Luvia.

The elf girl seemed to have a unique affinity, and Iluna quickly became friends with her. Speaking of the final battle last night, a detail that Emilia mentioned inadvertently was caught by Iluna——

".That black staff must also be a very powerful relic, right? Oh, Iluna, during the summer when I left St. Byrons, I came into contact with relics that were above the level of the Keeper of Secrets, five more than I had in the past five years. I have seen more in more than ten years combined. That staff must be very powerful, and I learned in school that staff relics are rarer than cold weapon relics, but... I don’t know why I saw them. That staff makes me feel very sad."

She pursed her lips and recalled what happened last night, but she was not sure whether it was the influence of the relic [Friendly Neighbor] on her. After all, she was really dizzy at the time. Of course, these contents will not be written in the investigation report. Iluna was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration:

"Is that staff a dead thing?"

"Sorry, what?"

Emilia's beautiful and innocent big eyes looked at her, and Iluna, who was worried, changed her words:

"Do you know what that staff is? Although I have seen it, Shade has never mentioned where this weapon came from. Since Luvia doesn't ask, of course no one else will ask either. You Do you know it? ”

The blond elf shook his head quickly:

"It feels very familiar, but I think I have never seen it before. Each rod relic is unique, and my memory will not be wrong. When I go back, I can investigate it. But Is this prying into Shade’s privacy?”

"this"

Iluna hesitated for a moment, and then saw the cat lying on the desk. There was heavy fog in the city this morning, and there was not much sunlight on the windowsill of the living room, so the lazy cat followed them in the study.

"Xiao Mia, does this count as prying into Shade's privacy?"

Eluna then asked the cat. The cat was lying on the table and taking a nap. When his name was called, he just said "meow~".

"Look, little Mia said it doesn't count."

Eluna said with certainty, and then met the young elf’s suspicious gaze:

"Iluna, do you still understand cat language?"

"Of course I don't understand, but please listen to me. I have never had bad intentions towards Shade, we do"

She wanted to say "lover relationship", but noticed that the cat seemed to be looking at her with one eye narrowed. Somehow, I felt embarrassed to say this. So in the end, I had to lower my voice and whisper next to the elf’s pointed ears:

"We have kissed. No, it is not the kind of chaste kiss you imagined, it is a very passionate kiss. This is a year-end gift from Shade, and it is in my apartment. ”

After finishing speaking, I sat back in my seat with a blushing face, and then I saw that the innocent elf girl also blushed:

"Shad turned out to be related to so many. No problem. After I return to school, I will try my best to investigate what the staff is that feels very familiar to me. It may have something to do with the elves. I need some time. ”

Iluna nodded with satisfaction. She did not dare to forget any of the clues she obtained from [If]:

"Fire, power, resurrection, cards, love."

She repeated these five words in her heart, but she didn't see the sleeping cat on the table still looking at her.

On the other side, Xia De has arrived in Yuewan City. There is no rain or snow here today, but the weather in Yuewan City, which is usually gloomy, is still not good. Seeing that it was still early, Shade did not go to Spider Alley immediately, but first went to Belindel Manor in the city center.

The maids in the manor were already quite familiar with Shade. When Miss Matilda came over after hearing the news and took Shade to the third floor, Miss Belindel looked like she was about to go out. She is wearing a white dress and a wide-brimmed hat with lace decorations. This is not the look of attending a formal meeting:

"The Marchioness of Ankara, the Countess of Eddington, the old Countess of Hawthorne, and several other noble ladies invited me to go to the manor outside the city to relax. Although such a social life is boring, sometimes I have to participate.”

But she doesn't seem to find it boring.

Shad stood at the door, and the Countess accepted the maids' adjustments to her jewelry and clothes. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked at herself, complaining:

"Speaking of which, if we have anything to do with you, where should we contact you? The address of the Prince trading partner you left is just to help you receive mail. If we want to find you immediately, you should What should I do? You should have a place to live locally, right?"

"It's hard to say."

"Yes, yes, you always have a lot of secrets of your own. People often say that women with secrets are very charming. Let me see, men with secrets are also very charming."

The maids all chuckled. Shade saw the countess’ golden eyes looking at him in the mirror, so he coughed:

"Are you looking for me for something? I'm really sorry. My friend encountered some trouble yesterday and was entangled by a cultist. No, it's not [Dragon Feast Cult], it's something else, but it has been solved."

"I do have something to ask you. The Marquis of Ankara and Marika Frost met at my manor yesterday. The latter did not want to return to a normal life. Finally we discussed it and I asked Marika to・Frost stays to help in the kitchen temporarily, and I can regularly provide her with wolfsbane potion that suppresses the urge to transform on full moon nights, so I have an extra werewolf at my disposal."

She waved the maids back and turned around in front of the mirror as if admiring her own figure, but everyone here could see that she was showing off her clothes to Shade.

Then the outsider consciously spoke up and praised:

"Very beautiful clothes, suitable for you."

Although this compliment is very simple, the Countess is still quite satisfied:

"The Marchioness of Ankara and Malika Frost went with me to see what was left of the Frost family, and they also confirmed that the undead we saw clinging to the tree was the dead Mary. Ca Frost's husband's grandfather. He once held a very high position in the Wood family. After a little investigation, I confirmed that the ghost must have known some secrets of the Wood family during his lifetime and was not possessed by accident after his death. In the tree, he knew it before he was alive."

Xia De raised his eyebrows:

"Yesterday, you actually investigated so many things?"

"I am a fortune teller, and a very powerful fortune teller."

The maids continued to take care of the earl’s hair, and Miss Belindel continued:

"That's not all. Since the ghost could find things when he was alive, I followed the clues to investigate and found some interesting documents from the Wood family. Now it is basically certain that the ancestors of our seven major families back then, They should all have obtained something interesting from the dragon they encountered together."

"Ha, I knew that the ceremony for the chosen ones was indeed to collect seven dragon scales!"

"Don't be so sure, how did you come up with this guess?"

The witch looked at him in the mirror and said:

"But they are indeed dragon scales. At least Belindel's is the golden dragon's scale, and the Wood family's seems to be the green dragon's scale, but I'm still checking the specific location. It's true, the Wood family has ours. My ancestors before me knew nothing about the location of the dragon scales. What the Wright family obtained was very clearly the dragon scales of the white dragon. As for the Hawthorne family, I only found out that they seemed to be related to the brass dragons. Blake and Silver don’t know yet.”

Shad noted down this information:

"You said that the golden dragon scales most likely came from the ancient incarnation of the god. It's really interesting. What kind of dragon did your ancestors encounter? How come the scales are so different? On a dragon, it should be There won’t be different types of dragon scales appearing at the same time, right?”

The witch doesn’t know either:

"What's even weirder is that the ancestors should have encountered the dragon in the late fifth era, but the ancient **** had already left by then."

"Not sure if this is related to the Chosen One ritual, but we should get it."

"Yes, it is consistent with my idea. Leave this matter to me. You should investigate along the direction of the sewer laboratory. I have prepared the sewer drawings around the steam bathhouse. I will ask Mattie later. Erda will take you to get it. The church's investigation into the sewer yesterday found nothing. You can go in with your friends today. Do you need me to send someone to follow you?"

She asked again worriedly, Shade shook his head:

“Don’t you know how powerful I am?”

Thinking of what happened on Sunday night, the witch nodded unconsciously, but at the same time she couldn't bear the dirty sewers to stain those beautiful silver scales:

"So are your friends reliable?"

"Very reliable, I knew him before I met Miss Benanis."

Now the witch feels relieved:

"Would you like to stay and have dinner together tonight? Let me also hear what you learned today."

The topic changed a little too quickly, but looking at her expression in the mirror, Shade still nodded:

"If the investigation goes well, I think it will be fine."

PS: The extra update will be in the afternoon.
