The Whispering Verses Chapter 1543: Green Lake and the Edwards Family
The dazzling fire suddenly shot up from the furnace, and Shade hurriedly closed the lid above the furnace.
After waiting for a moment, the drawer on the side of the furnace popped open automatically, and the badge, which was still cooling, lay in the drawer.
Compared with before, the diameter of the round emblem is only three-quarters of the original size, and the surrounding white stripes symbolizing the power of the "angel" have also disappeared and are completely integrated into the round emblem.
The emblem itself, which represents the "Duchess of Saladir" with thorns, lion's head and azalea pattern, has not changed, but the emblem has changed from the original dark silver to bright silver.
When Shade picked it up, in addition to feeling hot to the touch, he also found that while the size of the round emblem had become smaller and new materials had been added, the weight had almost remained unchanged:
"The ability to detect witches has not changed. Because of the addition of mithril, the detection effect is better than before... It can even detect traces of creations and rituals that retain the power of witches. It's really good, And because of the effect of mithril, this badge can now serve as a spell-casting medium. Wearing it while casting spells can enhance the effects of energy-releasing magic."
Xia De was in a pretty good mood. As for the effect of the badge, "she" naturally told Xia De in his ears:
"Luvia, you can also try a few times. For example, your crystal ball. I am curious whether the crystal ball can be strengthened if the metal bracket is included."
He suggested, Luvia nodded thoughtfully, and Yin Luna couldn't wait to try it.
It’s just that they don’t have these things with them now, so they have to go and get items worth trying. The three of them were about to leave here and return home. After Shade walked out of the dilapidated stone house, he turned to look at the furnace again.
[No, the Impermanence card will not be affected by it. 】
"She" actually guessed what Shade was thinking and gave the answer in advance.
Xia De was not surprised by this:
"Then, every space left by the ancient gods has a more special hidden function. So, here is..."
[Sacrifice a drop of divinity, or a "flawless heart of stone", and you can control and launch a natural disaster of any kind and level within the material world. The scope of influence is unlimited. 】
In other words, if Shadken does this, he can give the entire world a bumper harvest this year, but he can also make the entire world experience a long rainy season starting tomorrow.
"It's a pity that I don't have a flawless heart of stone, that heart is broken... However, I have a heart of the living dead."
The Heart of the Living Dead is the last part of Oxenfurt Manor. It was taken out from the chest of Stone Oxenfurt by the enemies of the Watson family. It originally belonged to "Hela Oxenfurt". The heart can unconditionally open a two-way channel to real death in the [Soul Cemetery], but unfortunately it is of no use to Shade for the time being.
Luvia was not very interested in the new trap door in the basement of Shade's house. After trying to strengthen her crystal ball, she went to work at the Prophet's Association.
On the contrary, Yin Luna stayed at Xia De's house until noon before leaving with the "synthesis list" she had tried. She only took one morning off, and in exchange for taking the leave, she had to be on duty at the security company during everyone's lunch break, so she didn't have lunch with Shade.
Of course, before Yin Luna left, Shade did not forget to give her her share of the Randall Valley treasure. As for the share he plans to donate to the church, Shade plans to wait for a while before going to the Randall Valley to make the donation.
In general, Shade’s Monday was quite leisurely.
After lunch, he finally made up his mind to "wash the cat". When the cat fell into a drowsy "nap preparation" stage after eating, he went to the bathroom in advance to prepare hot water.
Then the alert cat discovered Shade's purpose. Although it wanted to resist, Shade forced the cat to the bathroom after winning the "fight" with Mia. Little Mia's big amber eyes looked at Shade pitifully, but this did not make Shade feel sympathetic. He still put the cat into the bathtub where hot water had been put.
Foreigners have never enjoyed a bathtub in their hometown. Unexpectedly, when they came to this world, they would have a bathtub of their own.
After giving the cat a bath, Shade stayed at home and sorted out the detective records and recent reading notes in the study, and then took out the account book to check the recent income and expenditure.
Little Mia had a fragrant smell after taking a bath, so when she sulked and took a nap on the desk next to Shade in the afternoon, it even acted as an "aromatherapy" in a certain sense.
Xia De enjoyed such peaceful days. When he finished what he was doing, it was time for dinner. Luvia has to work overtime at the association tonight and will probably get off work very late. As for Dorothy, her seriously ill aunt had just passed away, and because she needed to attend the funeral, all of Louisa's brothers and sisters had returned to Tobesk, so she had to go back to Louisa's house frequently recently.
No one had dinner with Shade tonight, so Shade went to Dawn Church to find Priest August. On the one hand, it shows that his body has recovered, and on the other hand, he can talk to the old priest about the past events of his youth in the Randall Valley while eating.
By the time I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Shade planned to read for a while before going to bed, but a light suddenly appeared in the drawer on the right side of the desk. He took out the poem page and looked at it. It turned out that it was Miss Denister who had sent the message. In the morning, Shade wrote her a letter to make an appointment to meet, and the meeting time was at eight o'clock tonight.
It was still a familiar projection ceremony. When Shade's figure appeared in the Great Library of St. Byrons, the location was still in the center of the library, in the open space below the huge planetarium.
Looking at Shade across the coffee table was Miss Danister sitting on the sofa. The librarian who returned to the college from a business trip looked very relaxed:
"Good evening, Shade, what do you want from me? Let me guess...Have you successfully learned the thaumaturgy of Moon Dream?"
"Yes."
Xia De nodded immediately. He had been putting off this study task some time ago, and he was embarrassed. Therefore, as soon as I learned thaumaturgy, I wanted to tell Miss Danister, at least to show that my attitude towards learning was good:
"Do I need to prove this?"
"No, no, I don't have time to watch you sleep."
She shook her head:
"I believe you won't lie about this kind of thing. If I don't even have this kind of trust in you, then what kind of teacher am I?"
A smile appeared on her lips:
"My teacher told me the same thing back then."
When talking about Miss Danister’s missing teacher, we naturally think of the ancient moon tower that collapsed in the Karas Mountains. Miss Danister also thought of Shade's thoughts at this time, and she shook her head:
"It's not that easy to investigate. Before the ruins tower collapsed, it was like most of the ancient ruins standing on the old continent in this era. Although it was valuable, it was not particularly valuable. Now I want to After further investigation, there are actually very few clues. Fortunately, the teacher left some inspection reports written by herself in the college, and some clues can also be found from other moon-related ruins."
She paused:
"I have visited both the moon worship ruins in the Randall Valley and the Black Night Temple in the mountains that you mentioned. The moon worship ruins are quite common, but in the Black Night Temple, I found valuable traces."
The photo flew from the coffee table to Shade. The black and white photo showed traces of the ground:
"Have you seen this pattern of the sun, moon and stars? Although it is similar to the card back of the Rhodes card, it is not exactly the same. Interestingly, there are also pictures in the ruins of the collapsed towers in the Karas Mountains. This picture."
This time it was Shade's turn to be surprised. The pattern in the Night Temple did not originally exist. He left this trace because he borrowed the power of the night and [Impermanence of All Things - Silver Moon] to illegally travel through time.
Of course, there are traces of this in [The Past and the Sixth Era], but how it appeared at that time, Shade doesn’t know.
"So, what is this ritual matrix?"
"Some kind of magical array belonging to the ancient gods, the specific situation is still under investigation."
She hesitated and asked another question:
"Shad, do you know Green Lake City?"
This city was mentioned by Miss Carina not long ago:
"Of course, Kassenlik and Delarion are cities on the border of the central part of the Old World. There are two cities surrounding the Green Lake, and the one on the other side of Kassenlik is the City of Glass-Mikaela Blast Furnace City, and on the Delrayon side is Green Lake City."
"Then do you know that there is an island in the middle of Green Lake that is larger than the island in the center of the Pantanal, and there is an abandoned town of Green Lake on it?"
Miss Denister asked again.
"What is the island in the Pantanal?"
Xia De asked in surprise, while "she" chuckled in his ear.
"As for there being an island in Green Lake, I don't know about that."
"That island belongs to a very old family, the Edwards family."
Miss Daniste didn’t seem to care at all about the words about “Island in the Pantanal Lake”, and Shade pretended not to hear it:
"Edwards? This is not a rare surname. I remember Delrayon and Carsonrick, both have nobles with such surnames."
"Yes, the Edwards family that once owned the town of Green Lake is what I am talking about. About a hundred years ago, the former town of Green Lake on the island was destroyed due to an accident and was then abandoned. Now there is only a ruin that is shrouded in fog all year round. The members of the Edwards family, who were the local lords, also left their lives at that time. Not long ago, I found a letter that once belonged to a member of the Edwards family. ”
