The Whispering Verses Chapter 1107: Blood brew from the snowy mountains


The two books were written in the language of this era and are quite well preserved. They are "The Secret of the Ether: One to Thirteen" and "The Collection of Wise Men".

After a cursory glance, the former discussed the fundamental operation and usage rules of ether, the "spirit" as it was called in the Sixth Age, which is somewhat similar to the "Ether Mechanics" that Dr. Schneider is preparing for the exam. The latter is not a book about the power of witches, but a book that explores philosophy, human character, and inner spirit.

The ring in the miscellaneous items is not an extraordinary item, but it looks like some kind of status symbol. The newer of the two notebooks contains knowledge written by Miss Chloe. It seems to be a notebook for her study. The other one showed signs of being frequently read, and after opening it, it was discovered that it was a diary.

"Oh! Ladies' diaries cannot be read casually."

Shadow was thinking that only about two-thirds of the contents of Lecia and Dorothy's diaries had been opened to Shade to satisfy his peculiar reading hobby.

So Shade apologized softly to Miss Chloe who was being held by him, and then opened the diary.

There are no time marks in the diary, and all the contents are written line by line. Shade didn't have time to read from the front, so he turned directly to the last page with words in the middle and back part of the diary. There was not much content on this page, only six paragraphs of letters. The first three paragraphs were:

【Vegetables are about to run out. I hope that gentleman will come back as soon as possible, otherwise we will be forced to eat snow again. 】

【It was really cold, but luckily they didn't kick me out. Climb to the top as soon as possible, I long for freedom. 】

[I am Chloe, I am Chloe, I am Chloe, I am Chloe, I am Chloe. 】

The three paragraphs are written in the same font, but there are some differences in details. The first paragraph has spelling errors and the letters are a little skewed; the letters in the second paragraph are much smaller than the other two paragraphs; the content of the last paragraph seems particularly crazy, and the written letters are even more scrawled, as if they were written Already crazy.

I heard "her" chuckle, obviously referring to what Shade saw. Shade did not comment on other people's diaries. He continued to look down and looked at the last record:

[Please don’t leave, please don’t leave me alone, oh, teacher, I am willing to inherit your ideals, please don’t, please don’t leave me alone anymore. 】

This paragraph is written exactly the same way as the "Vegetables" paragraph above.

[Please forgive me, I am willing to repent. I know I touched a taboo, I know I made a mistake, I know, I have always known...]

This paragraph is written exactly the same way as the "Freedom" paragraph above.

[I am Chloe, I am not Chloe, I am Chloe, I am not Chloe, I am Chloe, I am not Chloe. 】

This paragraph is written exactly the same way as the "Chloe" paragraph above.

"I probably understand what's going on."

Xia De closed the diary and looked at the three semi-conscious people with a complicated expression.

He first came to the man, helped him sit upright, and then said to him:

"If you don't leave this snow-capped mountain, you will never be able to make up for your mistakes."

After a pause and seeing that he didn’t respond and still had his head hanging down, he continued:

"Seeking knowledge is not a mistake, but it is a mistake if you cannot control your desires. Since you have confessed in your diary, it means that you understand what you have done. I think you don't want to yourself either Mistakes are always just mistakes, right? No one can live without making mistakes, but you have to know your mistakes and make up for them..."

Before Shade finished speaking, a slight moan appeared from the man's mouth. This made Shade feel a little relieved, and he went to help Mrs. Marquez who fell next to the bonfire:

"You will not be left alone, there will always be others around you. Maybe you have experienced separation, but at least not this time."

After waiting for a while and no response, I added:

"If you are not awake now, I will leave immediately. Madam, you don't want to never see me again, right?"

Mrs. Marquez's eyelids trembled a few times. Shade carefully helped her sit up, and then picked up Miss Chloe. The young witch's lips turned white and she tilted her head, looking like some kind of delicate and fragile porcelain.

"You are indeed Chloe. You are Chloe Marcus Marquez."

Shad said the full name that Mr. Edmund of [Guiding Light Hermitage] had investigated. The witch squirmed in his arms and then slowly opened her eyes.

The eyes were a little dazed at first, and then he recognized Sha De. Her originally pale face suddenly turned red. She wanted to struggle out of Sha De's arms, but was held down by Sha De:

"Take a rest and we'll leave right away. I don't have much time, and you don't have much time either."

Although she was forcibly awakened by Shade this time, she would not have another chance.

Unlike Miss Chloe who was still extremely weak, Mrs. Marquez and the unknown man regained their mobility almost immediately after waking up. They also heard Shade's plan to prepare for departure, so they packed up their scattered luggage, seemingly reluctant to part with these daily clutter.

Miss Chloe's mental state and living conditions were quite worrying. Seeing that Shade wouldn't let go of her, she had no choice but to hug him with a blushing face. While feeling Shade's body temperature, she whispered:

"I'm so glad to see you as soon as I wake up. I know you will come back... There is not much distance to the top of the mountain... Just carry me up there."

"No."

Shad said decisively, while Miss Chloe pursed her lips and showed a puzzled expression, he said again:

"Climbing this mountain is your own decision. You must climb it yourself. You have come such a long way and are here. Are you willing to give up your persistence for a moment of warmth? ”

He persuaded:

"I can carry you to the top to witness the scenery of the snow-capped mountains. But you are a witch, Miss Chloe. Witches have always been confident, strong and independent. Yes, I believe you are such a girl, now Tell me how you're going to climb the last leg."

"I will... climb up there myself."

Her lips looked a little chapped. Shade rummaged through his pocket to find a water bottle toy, but after returning it to its original shape, he discovered that the water was all ice water. Although his "toy making" can't keep objects warm all the time, it shouldn't cause water to turn directly into ice water.

"Mrs. Marquez, boil some hot water. Let's go after the water is boiled... No need."

It occurred to me that flames cannot heat the surrounding environment at all, let alone boil hot water. While Mrs. Marquez showed an embarrassed expression, Miss Chloe whispered:

"This is the coldest place in the entire Silver Mountains. No heating process is allowed here. Ice water is also acceptable. I don't care about this. Please believe in the witch's ability."

“We have to climb a mountain next, and I don’t want to take a girl with me who may lose her temperature and faint at any time.”

He thought for a while, then stretched his wrist to Miss Chloe's mouth. The latter looked up at Shade with a pale face, and said a few words that made her breathless:

"What are you going to do?"

"My blood is hot."

Xia De said with certainty, and he was quite sure that with his physical fitness, his hematopoietic ability must be very strong:

"Don't worry about my health, we will set off immediately after you finish drinking."

"Although my eyes are red, do you think I am a vampire?"

"No, no, not all vampires' eyes are red. I have knowledge about vampire species, and I also have a vampire friend. He said...it doesn't matter."

Shad realized that this was not the time to talk nonsense. He took out a glass, and then cut his wrist with the moonlight on his fingertips (note). Miss Chloe wanted to stop him, but she couldn't muster the strength at all and could only watch Shade move.

After accumulating more than half a cup of blood in the glass, Shade used [Food of Fullness] to treat the ice water and poured it on his wrist. The wound disappeared almost immediately. This thaumaturgy was very effective for simple people. The trauma effect is very good.

"I know you don't like drinking human blood. I also refused at God's banquet. I dropped the blood into my eyes."

As Shade said, he rummaged through his pocket and found a wine bottle pendant. After restoring it to its original state, he used the ability of [Blood Wine Brewing] on his own blood. Strangely enough, he had used this spell on the blood of other humans, but when he used it on his own blood, he felt that the casting process was very jerky, even more jerky than using it on fruit, just like his blood. Not blood.

[Your blood has the temperature of the First Fire, and the First Fire gives you resistance to abnormal conditions. Therefore, feeding it to the witch will probably be very effective. 】

"That's it."

Shade understood, poured the warm blood wine from the bottle into the glass, and carefully brought the glass to the young witch's mouth:

"I've already bled, you don't want my blood to go to waste, right?"

Miss Chloe pursed her lips and looked up at him from his arms. In the end, instead of letting Shade feed her, he stretched out his trembling hand and carefully drank the half glass of blood brew.

When Shade put the cup in front of her just now, she smelled the charming aroma of wine. When I drank this glass of blood wine, I felt that I had never tasted such an intoxicating wine in my life.

Whether it is in her own large winery, or in the kingdoms of her friends, or even the wine shared by the witches during the meetings of the Zaras Academy and the collective meetings of the Parliament, there is nothing so charming.

"Oh~"

Not only was the taste unforgettable, when the glass of blood wine slid from her mouth into her throat and fell from her throat into her stomach, she felt a strange warm current gradually spread from her stomach to all parts of her body. The feeling of fullness in her spirit and even her soul made her feel as if she had returned to the state of her heyday. But at the same time, her desire for more also made her subconsciously look at Shade again.
