The Whispering Verses Chapter 1240: Story Bloodline and Oxenfurt
Chapter 1240 Story Lineage and Oxenfurt
Shad did not leave Middleburg immediately after lunch, but sat with Grace and Helen again to chat.
When Mia is full, she will show softness and warmth. She is currently sleeping on Shade's lap. This cat's life is as comfortable as ever.
"I've found it."
The silver flute with delicate butterfly patterns on the surface was taken out by Sha De:
"The Butterfly Calling Flute, I got it early Tuesday morning. Fortunately, the great witch of Randall Valley helped me."
Helen and Grace inspected the flute respectively, and both marveled at it. Now in the sixth era, there are not many creations left by the gods.
"Will this flute enhance your strength? Will it have any impact on your injuries and the recovery of the power of whispers?"
Shade asked his question, and the two girls looked at each other. Helen, who was wearing a black dress, shook her head slightly:
"Sir, this is not a relic. The Miracle Element will only help us further suppress the revival of the Whispering Element. Therefore, instead of affecting us, it can inhibit the return of the power of the relic."
"That's good, let me keep this flute in your hands for now."
Shad was relieved, he had been worried that Grace and Helen would soon become complete relics again. The Hongdie girls need this flute more than themselves.
"But sir."
"I'm just lending it to you. If I need to use it, I will take it away again."
Shad interrupted Grace, and when the latter wanted to say something else, he said:
"I have seen the butterfly **** for the second time"
They understand the meaning of this sentence.
"The first time was to offer songs, the second time was to offer poems. The next time was my last trip to that point in time, but I didn't know what the butterfly **** would ask us to offer in the end."
Helen hesitantly grabbed the hem of her skirt, while Grace said softly:
"Probably a story."
Xia De has told many stories to the gods, so he is not surprised by this kind of thing:
"Telling stories about the earth and butterflies? This is interesting."
He nodded and expressed his thoughts in the increasingly hesitant eyes of Grace and Helen:
"So, it was I who told the butterfly **** that the sister's tomb was close? So that led to the old **** finding you and giving you help? Then, at this time, you Please tell me what happened in the past, so that I can be sure that I have indeed told your story."
Grace looked around uneasily, as if she was worried that something terrible would suddenly jump out of the air and **** them away:
"Sir, it is better not to destroy the continuity of time."
"I'm not spoiling anything, I'm just saying what's going to happen."
Xia De said while petting the cat:
"I know that although Tree Father has left, he has left behind the power to maintain the stability of time. But don't worry about this. In the time adventure I participated in, as long as I don't go too far, Tree Father will not punish me."
The two young girls nodded, but still looked a little uneasy. They had probably seen with their own eyes how those who played with time would be punished.
"So, next time I just need to offer poems to the gods and tell them your stories?"
"Maybe we will make other requests to you separately."
When it comes to gods, even the Red Butterfly Twins are very cautious:
"Since it is a banquet, there are always things that should be done at the banquet. The three mortals have to offer songs, poems and stories, but that is a request for them, and for you. Maybe in the end, the old gods will Put forward other tests."
This possibility is indeed not ruled out, but what will happen then, after all, we still have to wait until Sunday to know.
Xia De has already made his final guess about this somewhat relaxing time key, so he won’t continue to worry about it at this moment. He thought for a while and suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, since you have investigated 'my' past, have I been to the Karas Mountain area? Especially in the past three years, have I been to that area?"
The topic changed too quickly, and Grace thought for a moment before giving her answer:
"Probably not."
Xia De nodded:
"So, have I ever had anything to do with the Truth Society? Oh, I mean, during the time when I still had problems with my head."
After all, the collapse of the tower on Mount Karas in the spring is directly related to the truth.
"No, you have not had any connection with the supernatural and mysterious before this."
Grace said with certainty, Shade lowered his eyes and subconsciously looked at her pair of white cotton socks. Therefore, his body had really big problems in the past. If even the humanoid angel-level (level 1) relics of its heyday couldn't find the problem, then it would really be a big problem.
Grace and Helen saw that Shade was thinking, so they did not interrupt him, but Grace blushed a little. But as the elder sister, Grace has always been bolder than Helen. At least that's how it looks on the outside, so she relaxed her leg muscles slightly so that Shade could "see" more.
Helen noticed her little move and was thinking about whether she should try white clothes. At this time, Shade asked again:
"Speaking of which, is there an accurate way to determine an individual's bloodline or race? At least, it can determine whether it is a pure human being."
"Of course, because of the mixed blood of various races in the chaotic era of the Fourth Epoch, starting from the Fifth Epoch, there are also individuals carrying thin blood of alien creatures among ordinary humans. Therefore, in order to detect whether the individual is a pure human being, the first The witches of the Fifth Age have developed many methods."
Helen said, probably guessing what Shade was going to do:
"Do you suspect that your body is not a normal human being? Yes, this is a possibility. The preparation time for the ceremony is too long, and the judgment of thaumaturgy or alchemy items is prone to fallacies. Then let's use relics, my sister and I I’m relatively familiar with this.”
"Clerical level (level 4) relic, sad nurse statue, this one has the highest accuracy."
Grace said, asking Helen:
"This statue should still be in that ruins, right?"
"Yes, it was still there at least four hundred years ago."
Helen nodded and said to Shade:
"Ask Zina to send someone to pick it up. If there are no accidents, it should be delivered over the weekend. Sir, you can come back on Sunday."
"Xina" is the name of Cassandra's mother-in-law, and only Grace and Helen can call the old witch this way.
"Okay, then I'll come over again on the weekend."
Xia De said with some worry, touched the cat and sighed:
"Do you know the magical power of the ancient **** [Mother Earth] [Power of the Earth]?"
Grace thought for a while:
"Yes, I have heard of it before. But in this era, we don't know who has this kind of power. The ancient gods don't have many magical inheritances. Maybe the Church of the Sun and Earth still has it."
Xia De was originally worried that the Butterfly Twins also had the [Power of the Earth], but it seemed like he was thinking too much. Grace and Helen have endured enough hardships, and he is unwilling to involve them in the epic of the chosen ones for any reason.
Shad did not stay at Fort Midhill for too long. After leaving the lazy Mia at home for a nap, he took advantage of the afternoon to go to Randall Valley City, intending to pick up the coin. Return the ring to Mr. Stone Oxenfurt. Of course, he wanted to determine what kind of problem this stranger had.
The Oxenfurt family is a wealthy merchant family that has only emerged in recent years. Therefore, the family estate is not in the city like Earl Granger, but on the northern outskirts of Randall Valley City.
Although there is a path running through it, the distance is still a bit long, so Shade goes to the Wilde Opera House to ask Miss Bernice to borrow a horse. But unfortunately, Miss Benenice went to see Margaret, but the deputy leader, Miss Lassers, was there.
The young lady had a good impression of Shade. She heard that he wanted to borrow a horse and she immediately agreed. She even asked Shade if he wanted to borrow the carriage directly.
"There is no need for the carriage. I just want to visit Mr. Oxenfurt outside the city."
"Ston Oxenfurt?"
Miss Lassers asked in surprise, raising her eyebrows and showing a somewhat displeased look. Of course, this expression was not directed at Shade.
"Yes, Miss Benenice has no impression of this family. Do you know them?"
"Vanessa is not a local after all, but I am. About three hundred years ago, the Oxenfurt family was a small local noble with the title of baron. It is said that they were a certain big noble in Willondale City. A distant relative. About a hundred years ago, the title was lost and the family disappeared. The family members left the local area one after another. The father of the current Stone Oxenfurt was once a sailor on the river ships in Kasenlik. Mr. Dong Oxenfurt returned to the local area about five years ago and worked in some disgraceful jobs, probably as a gangster. Later, he somehow made a fortune in business. Not only did he marry his childhood sweetheart, he also bought back the family's old property. The manor is where you want to go.”
"What an inspiring story."
Shad commented briefly, while Miss Lassus shook her head:
"Mr. Hamilton, you'd better not have too much contact with him. The business he does is illegal. It's not just smuggling. There are also some prohibited transactions with big figures in the royal capital. And even if he becomes a wealthy businessman, He still controls some of his former thugs."
She was not worried that a group of ordinary people would hurt Sha De, but that Sha De would "learn bad things". Although Shade's body is already over 20 years old, he is still two years younger than Miss Lassers, and much younger than Miss Benanis:
"Because I am responsible for the external affairs of the Golden Dawn, I know more things. Even at yesterday's banquet, Stone Oxenfurt and Prince William of Anjou seemed not to know each other, but in fact Oxenfurt did Most of the smuggling and illegal goods transshipment transactions are related to this prince. There is even reason to believe that William Anjou's visit to Randall Valley this time is also related to Oxenfurt, but he does not know what they plan to do. ”
