The Whispering Verses Chapter 115: The power of stories

The layout of the houses on Quill Street is very similar to that of St. Teresa Square, but the size of the rooms is not as good as that of Shade's house. The woman who lived alone was not prepared to welcome guests so early, but at least the living room was not too messy, and there were no clothes that Shade shouldn't look at.

The temperature inside seemed to be higher than outside, and Miss Louisa's apartment was filled with a unique smell of spices. She probably had just finished breakfast, and Shade even saw half a bowl of salad on the cupboard in the dining room connected to the living room.

“Last night at the restaurant, Miss Louisa seemed to be eating a vegetable salad. Are you trying to control your body shape?”

He guessed it in his mind, but out of politeness, he did not continue to look around.

Xia De sat down on the sofa in the living room and looked at the long fabric hair that was a bit old but surprisingly full of life. Compared with the barely decorated walls of the detective agency, Miss Louisa's apartment is filled with various photo frames and oil paintings.

If Saint Teresa Square has a cold office style, this is the real apartment where people live.

"Why, you finally made up your mind to borrow the [Happy Dream Pen] and give it a try?"

When Miss Louisa brought tea to Shade, she asked jokingly.

Xia De’s head shook immediately:

"No, no, I really thought of something when I was reading yesterday, so I wanted to ask you."

"Can I ask a question? OK, please."

The blond writer sat upright with a smile on his face.

"Well, since we talked about the fairy tale of the 'Match Girl' yesterday, let me ask you, in which era did this fairy tale originate?"

I didn’t ask the question yesterday to prevent early observation from affecting the results. Shade was curious about this question all night long.

Miss Louisa thought for a while:

"It was probably around 1100 in the Fifth Age. This is one of the contents of my compulsory exam. But I can't tell the specific year. After all, you know that at the end of the Fifth Age, there were thirteen witch emperors. The great war destroyed almost half of civilization. The writer’s name has also been lost, and only his surname is Chad.”

This answer was in line with Shade's thoughts. He swallowed, and asked anxiously and seriously:

"So if, I mean if, the person who wrote this fairy tale could live to this day, what would happen?"

Last night's actions allowed him to summon fire directly, but Shade wanted more.

"How could you have such a strange idea? Let me think about it, if so, then he will be able to easily use the power generated by fairy tales."

Xia De opened his eyes wide and nodded:

"What then? What then?"

Miss Louisa glanced at him suspiciously. Although she knew that today's detective was suspicious, she didn't think much about it. She waved her hands and answered in a soothing tone. Miss Louisa was in a good mood in the morning:

"Then, it is probably easy to master the power related to that fairy tale. But this requires a prerequisite, otherwise he will be no different from ordinary people."

"What premise?"

Xia De asked expectantly.

"For magic related to stories and books, the casting materials usually include manuscripts. Since he is the original author of the fairy tale, he must hold the manuscript of the original version of the fairy tale in order to be recognized by the world as the original creation. After all, you also understand that many stories are inspired by other people's ideas, so who is the original story creator?"

She took the Taoist test.

"The first person in history to write a complete story?"

"Yes."

Miss Louisa nodded with satisfaction, and then saw the detective covering his mouth and looking thoughtful.

Looking at his clothes:

"You don't look like you are out of control...did you not sleep well last night?"

"Yes, how do you know? Miss Louisa, do you also know divination?"

Xia De asked.

"No, you buttoned your coat wrong."

The blonde writer said with a smile. She leaned back slightly on the sofa, held her hands together and basked in the morning sun, enjoying this pretty good morning.

Whether Shade can be identified as the creator of the "Match Girl" story has something to do with the original "Match Girl" manuscript. As for where the original manuscript is, this is not something Miss Louisa can answer.

From this point of view, although it is feasible to gain power by leaving one's own knowledge in the past time and space, it is not a good way to gain power.

Shad must ensure that the stories left behind can continue to be circulated for thousands of years and thus have mysterious power. Moreover, he must ensure that he can obtain the manuscript across thousands of years.

Instead of trying to figure out how to accomplish such a difficult thing, it is better to delve into the knowledge in the textbook. If Shade can easily obtain antiques that span thousands of years, then it will be much easier to profit from the antiques and then buy knowledge than to plan for thousands of years to spread the story widely.

Of course, he still didn’t give up, so he asked Miss Louisa if she had the translation and manuscript of the original story of “Match Girl”. He wanted to obtain the talisman related to “Match Girl” from the book. text to determine whether you can obtain special powers as a creator.

Miss Louisa does not have it in her hands, but her friend who is a ring warlock who cannot reveal his identity does.

"Although I don't know why you suddenly became interested in 'Match Girl', when I went to the doctor's party on Saturday, I thought I could bring you something, but I can only lend it to you temporarily for a week. Oh, Shade, I think "Crazy Light Chaser" is more suitable for you than "The Little Match Girl". Of course you can try new methods, but I still think [Light] is the spiritual rune that is suitable for you."

Miss Louisa is indeed a nice person. Of course, it would be better if Shade didn't make fun of the [Happy Dream Pen] again when Shade ended his visit.

When he walked out of No. 211 Quill Street, Shade was still thinking about Match Girl. He said goodbye to Miss Louisa behind him, then put his hands in his pockets and followed the flow of people towards his home.

“Civilization, the current civilization, the past civilization, the civilization I have seen.”

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Looking at the street scene of this steam city, I had a lot of feelings.

Although there was some morning fog in the morning, as the sun rose, the fog gradually became lighter. Today is still a good weather.

Take your mind away from the match girl for a while, and exchange your views on civilization with the voice in your heart. When I walked out of Quill Street, I realized that today was Thursday. Since I was already out, I might as well visit several newspaper offices in the city to discuss advertising based on the business card I got from Miss Louisa.

No matter how magical it is to travel through time, making money is the top priority right now.
