The Whispering Verses Chapter 1719: The ring I bought


All the stairs leading to the upper floors have been broken, and most of the side of the first floor near the lake is flooded. The cracks in the load-bearing wall are so dense that they look like they have been scratched by little Mia's claws, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants have made their homes here.

Although Meghan investigated the location of the ring, she did not expect that the condition of the manor was already so bad. He and Sha De stood at the door of the manor house and looked at the indoor foyer. He hesitated and said to Sha De:

"Grab my hand and I'll take you up."

She naturally hooked Shade's hand with her own:

"Although the strength is still recovering, a short flight is still possible."

"I'll do it."

Shad closed his eyes and used his newly acquired [Powerful Spatial Perception] to determine the terrain near the mansion, then took out the weathervane bluegrass extract and dropped it on the tip of his tongue, and held Megan's hand tightly:

"Stand firm."

Taking a step forward, the two figures disappeared and appeared in the corridor on the third floor. The weight of the two of them and Mia pressed against the warped wooden floor, making a loud "squeak~" sound, which startled the nearby rats and fled into the shadows formed by the sunbeams from the window at the end of the corridor caused by the decayed and collapsed door panels. .

"Space movement?"

Meghan looked around in surprise:

"You are only at the sixth ring, can you already lead people to move in a stable space?"

“Haven’t you tried it before?”

"I tried it. A friend who has passed away is also very good at space power. However, she is much higher level than you, and she usually only relies on space power when teleporting over long distances."

The person she is talking about is most likely Miss Sylvia’s teacher.

"You're really not..."

The beautiful eyes looked at Shade again, and Shade answered the question again:

"Ms. Pharmacist, I am really not the chosen one, I am sure of this."

Stepping on the squeaky floor to the master bedroom, Shade opened up the moldy bed, held down the little Mia who screamed at the snake, and burned the snake's nest under the mattress with fire , and then opened the floor, and sure enough found the hidden compartment under the floor.

"It went more smoothly than I thought."

"What did you expect to encounter?"

The sorceress asked strangely:

“I did so much research in the early stage, so it’s strange that it didn’t go well?”

"Because I usually need something...not important."

Earl Gaiman, who passed away fifty years ago, was very cautious in his work. All the items in the secret compartment were placed in a metal box as big as two palms, so they were relatively well preserved.

The box can no longer be opened due to corrosion, but it doesn't matter in the face of strength. Shade opened the box and saw the ring with black and white stones at a glance. He handed the box containing other things to Megan and asked her to check it. Then he looked at the golden light against the light outside the window. The black gems and white gems on the ring shone with a strange light.

"Poet-level relic [Ring of Mood], white represents positive emotions and black represents negative emotions."

Xia De murmured to himself, rubbing the inside of the ring with his fingertips, and discovered the sentence Megan once said:

[The blend of joy and sorrow is the inner interpretation of wisdom. 】

After chanting softly, he put the ring on his finger and couldn't help but smile. Although he has many relics in his hands, he only likes relics that are simple in shape and can be displayed together. Even if this relic has little effect, he is very happy at the moment.

He tried to guide his spirit and stored the joy at this moment in the white gem. Later, he realized that a more accurate term is "recording emotions", and he did not lose part of his emotions out of thin air.

"Unfortunately, I am in a good mood now, otherwise I can try to see how it changes my mood."

Xia De thought to himself, and then he was pulled by the cat on his shoulder. Turning to look at the cat's big amber eyes, after looking at each other for a moment, Shade took off the ring and shook it at it. Sure enough, he saw the cat's eyes following the ring:

"You'll really like it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and held Little Mia's tail. Normally, if he did this, even Shade would be disliked by the cat until the meal was served, but this time he was very well-behaved. It wasn't until Shade put the ring on the cat's tail that the cat took the initiative to pull its tail out of Shade's hand, and then turned to look at his tail wagging back and forth.

"Putting a relic ring on the tail of a pet cat will not turn it into a cat girl. This will only harm your pet."

Megan on the side noticed the movement here and warned, and then added:

"The Witch Emperors of the Fifth Era have tested and found that cat girls are not created in this way, and healthy people should not have undue thoughts about their pet cats."

"Who do you think I am?"

Xia De, who was in a good mood, asked with a smile, and touched little Mia's head a few times, and the cat obediently rubbed his hand.

Afterwards, Shade went to look at the box that Megan had placed on the windowsill.

The only relic inside is the ring. Other ordinary items include three rolls of rolled banknotes - Carsonrik's crown and Delarion's gold pound. They are as big as three pebbles. Gemstones - in pretty good condition, some forged identification documents, an old single-shot pistol and a palm-sized notebook.

Megan is looking through the notebook:

"It seems that everything here is an escape route prepared by Count Gaiman for himself, but unfortunately he died before he could use it."

She turned back a few pages of the notebook with smeared handwriting due to moisture, and then raised her eyebrows in surprise:

"His 'adventure' experience is written here. Let me take a look... Oh, it's such an old-fashioned story. I went fishing alone in a boat on a rainy day, and then caught something strange in the lake. And thus got the chance to make a wish. What will he encounter? A demon? Or something more troublesome-such as my ancestor?

The sorceress made a small joke, Shade thought about it:

"This kind of plot exists in many stories, but obviously he paid the price. I think falling from a horse and dying is not that simple. It is hard to say where his soul went in the end. It seems that although he has the relic in his hand, Gai Count Man is definitely not a magician, otherwise he should know common sense - don't make wishes easily."

"Who knows?"

Meghan doesn’t mind this, after all, it happened fifty years ago:

"I'll see if there's anything written on the back about what happened to him... No, it's such a pity."

Despite saying this, she didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, she was glad that she didn't have to be involved in other incidents. Looking at the smile on Sha De's face, I felt more and more that this morning's trip was really valuable.

"Let's go, now that the key has been obtained, didn't you say you would invite me to dinner at noon? Oh, sir, I don't often accept invitations from others, please cherish this opportunity... I think you are right I’m not very familiar with the Green Lake area. Where do you want to take me?”

As he said that, he put the notebook back into the box, and then watched as Shade turned the box into a toy and put it away. She looked at Shade with a smile, expecting what Shade would do.

Xia De already has an idea:

"Let's go to your boat, I'll provide the food."

"You want to cook it yourself?"

Megan was a little surprised. Shade shook his head. Just as he was about to explain his expensive and impractical lazy thaumaturgy, he saw two figures from the window out of the corner of his eye.

When he noticed each other, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, also noticed the two people standing at the window from a distance on the path.

Xia De sighed and asked Megan suspiciously:

"Are these two people the only ones left in the Mirror Association? How come we can meet them everywhere?"

Originally it was just a joke, but Meghan unexpectedly took a look at the black ring on her finger. The black gemstone ring was flashing with light. This is a relic, and it was the first time Shade saw Meghan wearing it, but he didn't ask any more questions on the way here.

"It's not an accident, it's fate. The ring on my hand was lent to me by my friend with thirteen rings. Although it is only a clerical grade, it can detect some traces of fate. The family's The prophecy says that everyone will be reunited, and here’s the proof.”

Megan said, sighing softly and looking at her nephews standing on the path:

"Will you become a cat or will I become a cat? I hope to maintain their misunderstanding of your identity."

Shad glanced at Mia, who was being held by him. The cat still didn’t know what was going to happen:

"I'll turn my cat into a toy, and then I'll turn into a cat again. It's not controllable if you use a potion to turn into a cat. If the potion doesn't work when you want to change back, you'll be in trouble."

"That's fine."

Megan nodded, not mentioning that as a potion master, she actually had a way to end the effect of the potion early:

"Actually, your cat can still be used as a toy. It doesn't feel troublesome for me to hold two cats."

"But I will feel troublesome."

Shad will never turn into a cat in front of little Mia again.

So the two turned and left the window. When they came down from upstairs, little Mia was turned into a toy, Shade turned into a silver cat again, and his belongings were temporarily kept by Megan.

When they arrived at the deformed door frame of the mansion, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, had also arrived at the door of the manor. Although the two sides met at Rotten Eye Barry's territory in the city during a heavy rain not long ago, and the two sides were quite unfriendly, this time they did not immediately get into a fight because of it.

Megan hugged the silver cat and asked the question that Shad just asked:

"Are you the only one who hides mirrors in the Mirror Association? How come I can meet you two everywhere?"

The two brothers also gave similar answers to Megan just now:

"We have to ask our ancestor Laplace Klein Howard about this. Aunt and uncle, I wonder what you want to do here?"

It seems that they are still misunderstanding the relationship between Shade and Megan.
