The Whispering Verses Chapter 1071: The “sick” duchess

"He has a very faint stench of the devil. It seems that in addition to the night when we witnessed Sir Prisya talking to the devil on the night of the princess' attack, he did indeed meet Fannie on the top floor of the concert hall. But I am certain that the knight has not accepted the power of the devil. At most, he has had contact with the devil. Even the devil with the desire to proliferate cannot seduce him into corruption. What do you have to worry about? He is a very determined person. ”

The doctor asked with a smile, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave. Shade opened the door and sent the doctor out, but the doctor added before walking down the steps:

"Of course, there are other possibilities."

"What possibilities?"

"Even the devil can't satisfy his desire for knowledge, so he chooses to ignore the deal proposed by the devil. He wants more, he desires more."

Xia De nodded slowly, thoughtfully in his heart.

Nothing else happened on this Monday. In the evening, Princess Margaret's servant sent an invitation to Shade, formally inviting him to attend the dinner at Canary Manor tomorrow night.

Newspapers have already published news that as long as there is no blizzard, the Kassenrik delegation will leave Tobesk City by steam train at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, then transfer to a steam airship and return to Kasemrik. Huntingdon City in the United Kingdom of Senric, and then take a train back to Willendale, the royal capital.

Marguerite Anjou’s trip to Tobesk is finally over.

Shad invited Luvia as his female companion, and the purple-eyed girl planned to come to Shad's house in the afternoon. So on Tuesday morning, Shade planned to pack his luggage at home.

Luvia determined that the location where the Chosen Ceremony will be held is not Tobesk, but most likely the Pantanal region. Since he didn't know the specific time of the ceremony, Shade had to be ready to leave at any time after Sir Prisha left with the visiting delegation. It would definitely be too late to pack things by then.

But things always changed faster than planned. At eight o'clock in the morning, Tifa appeared downstairs at Shade's house, and then took Shade, who was holding the cat, to the manor outside the city.

When I met Miss Carina in the study on the third floor, Miss Sylvia was talking to her with a smile. On the coffee table was the book "The Secret of Agelessness", which Miss Carina had been studying recently. Even a witch would worry about her appearance aging.

"Good morning, Shad."

The young witch said hello first, and Miss Carina also smiled and motioned for Shade to sit down and talk:

"I saw the note you left me on Sunday. Is there anything you want to ask me? Oh, and I won't be attending the banquet tonight. I wish you a good time."

"Is there anything else going on tonight? Another secret keeper has appeared?"

Xia De asked in surprise.

"Of course not, it's because I'm sick."

The red-haired duchess motioned to Shade to touch her forehead. After Shade actually reached out and touched her forehead, Miss Carina showed a satisfied smile:

"I caught the wind and cold when it snowed a few days ago, so I have to stay in bed and rest. It will probably take until the end of the year to get better."

Xia De took back his hand and looked at her suspiciously. Not to mention the possibility of catching a cold with the physical fitness of an eleventh-level witch, even if it is a cold, it can be cured by a very ordinary potion, which Shade can prepare himself. Even magic medicine can't cure it. He bought a [Pandemic Doctor's Ring] some time ago and now wears it on little Mia's tail.

"I will not see guests while I am ill, and my daily affairs will be handled by my personal female officer Tifa."

Miss Carina took the hand of the black-haired maid:

"Servit, I leave everything to you."

Normally, she wouldn't call her maid this.

"Yes, ma'am."

Tifa said with a smile.

"So what exactly is going on?"

Xia De then asked Miss Sylvia on the side, who chuckled:

"Miss Carina planned to go to Kasenlik with me as part of the delegation. But given her status, it would be strange not to appear in public for a long time, so she planned to stay in bed and rest for a period of time. Shade , you can take time to come here to visit Miss Carina occasionally, which will make it more real."

"That's a good idea."

Miss Carina nodded and glanced at Tifa, a little worried that something would happen if they met alone while she was away.

"Go to the Kingdom of Kasenlik?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows.

"The Speaker confirmed that the ceremony was not in Tobesk, but further south, but now the chosen ones are indeed still in Tobesk City. So, the group of delegation that is about to leave is particularly interesting. Suspected."

The Duchess said:

"There are two male ring sorcerers in the visiting group. In addition to Lykins Prisha, there is also a bodyguard hired by the accompanying nobles, who only has two rings."

She hummed:

"Of course, they are definitely not the only ring warlocks who have left this city and spent the winter in the south recently. Although I am not sure that the chosen ones must be these two, Sylvia and I are together. Once a new situation arises , she can use the power of space to rush to the scene of the accident with me faster. The Speaker also agreed to our plan. Now Xiwei is also rushing to Huntingdon City. If we are lucky, there will be three big witches in this incident. Participate."

"How did the parliament arrange to deal with the chosen one this time? The fragment of the psalm has pointed out that he is a male."

Xia De asked again.

"If you try to fight against fate, you will only be played by fate. The emergence of the chosen one is something that will definitely happen in the Sixth Age. Moreover, from Sister Devlin of the [Spiritual Order], we know that there are still The candidate of the chosen one. Even if a man is killed, we are not sure what gender the second one is and which force he belongs to, so the council requires us to just observe and not take action yet."

Miss Carina smiled and said to Shade:

"But I know that no matter where the final ceremony is held, you will appear inexplicably, just like the previous three times, right?"

Miss Sylvia raised her eyebrows, Tifa smiled, and Shade sat relaxed on the sofa:

"Then Miss Carina, let's meet in Huntington City. The climate there is better than Tobesk... Speaking of which, if I have the chance, I would also like to try it. Take a ride What does a steam airship feel like?"

After talking about the chosen ones, while the two witches were here today, Shade asked them a question:

"There is indeed something going on here on the weekend. Ladies, do you know Miss Chloe who lived around 903 in the Fifth Age? She was also a witch and once visited a snow mountain."

"Is this the witch you met in the past again?"

Miss Carina smiled, recalled it, and shook her head:

"The data from the early Fifth Period is too badly lost, and based on just the name, not even the surname, it is difficult for us to know who you are talking about."

"Short, with long silver-white hair, red eyes, very beautiful..."

Seeing the unhappy faces of the two witches, Tifa immediately coughed and gave Shade a hint. Shade hurriedly added:

"Of course, not as good as you. Oh, Miss Chloe is an official member of Parliament."

It is inevitable that she can leave a witch reverberation.

"Members of Parliament?"

Miss Carina glanced at Miss Sylvia, both of them fell into thinking:

"No more biographical information?"

"No."

Xia De shook his head slightly.

"At least I can't think of any corresponding character."

The Duchess said regretfully, so Shade looked at Miss Sylvia again, who thought for a while before shaking her head slightly:

"I don't remember either... How about I take you to find it yourself?"

"What?"

Xia De was puzzled, and Miss Carina stood up:

"There is information about previous great witches in the parliament, but of course, it is incomplete. Although in theory, only the speaker is qualified to read that information, the speaker of this generation has opened his qualifications to us, and we can check those who are not What an important thing. It's ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, everyone is busy, and there is probably no one in the council... I'll go in and take a look first to make sure no one comes out to call you."

The witch's song is the first key to opening the parliament. In the most gentle song, enter the long, narrow and ancient corridor. After entering the white fog door at the end, the key to the parliament is the witch's jewelry.

Among the four witches that Shade has come into contact with so far, Miss Carina possesses the [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace] among the thirteen sage-level relics, while Miss Sylvie Avora's possesses the [Ancient Witch's Golden Necklace]. [Golden Ring of the Ancient Witch], Granny Xena Cassandra’s is the [Golden Button of the Ancient Witch], and Miss Emma Sylvia, whom I met this time, has the [Golden Ring of the Ancient Witch] Second from left].

That ring is very similar to Miss Aurora's ring, except that the texture on the surface and the runes around the ring are different.

After using the witch jewelry to open the door of the parliament, there was no one inside. An empty stone round table is located in the circular space at the bottom, surrounded by dilapidated steps leading up to the heights shrouded in terrifying darkness.

The white light source, which I don’t know where it came from, only illuminated the round table and a small area around it.

Behind each white stone armchair at the round table is a symbol representing the witch's seat. Miss Carina is "balance", Miss Aurora is "light", Granny Cassandra is "darkness", and Miss Sylvia is "space".

Excluding the dark steps hidden in the darkness, the parliament area can be seen almost at a glance, and there is no place to store information.

"Do we have to walk up the surrounding stairs?"

But before Shade raised his question, Miss Carina took her necklace, came to the back of the chair corresponding to the [Moon] seat, and raised her jewelry to the steps behind the chair.

While the gold necklace emitted a soft light, the originally hard stone steps rippled like a phantom, and soon revealed a square hole, allowing you to continue walking inside.

【There is a hidden wall in front. 】

"She" smiled and whispered in Shade's ear. This scene was indeed very much like Shade opening the hidden space beneath his home.

"Emma, ​​Shade, come with me."

Miss Carina waved and walked in first. The square hole was as high as a half-shade, and after walking in with the two witches, the internal passage was also very spacious.
