The Whispering Verses Chapter 1923: Canine’s help (more updates)


At 1:30 p.m., under the advice of Miss Aurora, the great witch of "light", Shade was trying to use the witch's secret technique to cast "Thorn of the Moon" on the first floor. The witch had a new idea and tried to use those moonlight thorns as the outermost defense of the hotel. Shade's current spellcasting ability alone is not enough, so she wants to rely on her own strength to assist Shade in casting spells.

The two were discussing which location to use as the node for casting the spell, when a faint sound of barking came from the sound of rain outside the hotel door.

The sound stopped outside the door. Miss Aurora looked at her niece in surprise, so Miss Hailey Aurora opened the door and quickly discovered what was going on outside:

"There is a puppy outside. It seems to have been kicked by someone and it is about to die."

"Puppy? Since you're here, check it out and bring it in and feed it some magic potion."

Miss Aurora said, not really caring about this matter. So the young girl called the other sorceresses and checked the puppy at the door to prevent some trick like transfiguration.

Xia De didn’t pay much attention at first. He was about to continue discussing the spell casting with Miss Aurora, but then he looked outside the door:

"Probably not."

He walked towards the door, looked out at the curious eyes of the girls, and then frowned.

The little dog outside the door is the dog of Little John, the boy in the garbage alley.

Since the heavy rain, Little John has lived in the hotel as a helper. The Green siblings saw that although he was young, he worked hard and had no bad habits, so they decided to let him live here in the future. Shade also arranged for "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" to fund and be responsible for his future tuition fees.

But we definitely can't keep him in the hotel today. It will be very dangerous here after evening. If Shade remembered correctly, Mr. Solon Green arranged for a hotel servant who had a vacant room at home to temporarily take him away. The puppy should have gone with him. Shade couldn't figure out why it appeared here.

He stretched out his hand to maintain the life of the weak puppy with "false immortality", and then dropped a few drops of magic potion into its mouth, and the serious injury was almost completely cured. This is what the Parliament has planned for today. The ultimate healing potion prepared late. After the puppy recovered, it barked at Shade twice, then jumped off the table, trying to get Shade to follow it.

Shade then caught it and put the [Fish Training Ring] on its paw.

"Fish training rings can only be used by cats, seabirds and other species that like to eat fish. Fortunately, dogs are not among them."

The effect of the relic appeared almost immediately. The puppy, which was still struggling to jump off the table, was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shade, and said in a childish voice that could not tell whether he was a boy or a girl:

"Save him, save him."

The fact that it can find this place on its own shows that it is quite intelligent. After having the [Fish Training Ring], I was able to fully tell what happened.

This matter is not very complicated. After the puppy described it, Shade decided to solve it himself.

"You don't need to go there yourself. It's still raining outside. I'll send someone there."

Miss Aurora, who also listened to the puppy's story, said, Shade shook his head:

"Since this matter is related to me, I can solve it myself. I will be back in an hour at most, and then we can continue to discuss the Thorns of the Moon."

The witch also knew that she could not persuade Shade, so she found an umbrella for him, and then watched him hold the umbrella and take the puppy into the rain.

Shad did not take off the [Fish Training Ring], but let the puppy wear it to guide him. The place where the accident happened was on the banks of the Duin River, not too far from the Green Lake Hotel. Therefore, even without a carriage, Shade arrived at his destination quickly.

The heavy rain washed away the blood, and there were no longer many people on the small pier in the city as the puppy said. Only the boy's shoes were left in the grass on the side of the pier.

The river surface was hit by the fierce heavy rain, causing ripples in circles. The puppy was unable to track the scent in this weather. The only weakness of Shade's [Echo of Blood] in tracking blood stains under normal conditions was also the rain and the river.

"Tell me again, what happened here."

Xia De straightened up while holding an umbrella, and said to the puppy at his feet who was still desperately trying to smell his owner's scent.

"Master, John, followed the fat woman to the house at noon, and ran out after eating. He heard that many people picked up treasures by the river, and some people picked up very rare playing cards, so he wanted to find them for you. You."

Xia De knows all this information.

“There were many people looking for treasures by the river. The men found something and then got into a fight for some reason. The master wanted to leave, but a man said that he saw the master found something good and asked the master to hand it over. Come out. But the master didn't find anything, he had nothing, so he was slapped several times by the man and passed out. I wanted to save the master, but I was kicked, so I had to go to you."

Although this puppy does not have the "philosophical" temperament of the goat not long ago, it can describe things quite clearly.

Xia De frowned slightly, and was about to jump into the river to try to find more clues, but at this time, the puppy barked "woof, woof, woof" at another patch of grass.

After Xia De pushed aside the grass, he actually saw a gold bracelet. After picking it up, I was sure that it was definitely pure gold jewelry, and it looked like an antique. The bracelet was stained with blood that had not been washed away.

"The Whispering Element."

The traces of the elements are quite faint, but this item is just an ordinary item. Some kind of relic adds the power to cause greed to this piece of jewelry, but for Shade, who has the [Greed] spirit rune, this weak spiritual influence can be completely ignored:

"The rumors of treasures in the river are indeed related to the relics."

Thinking in his mind, he took out an empty wine bottle, sucked the blood into the bottle as the raw material of [Blood Brew], and then dropped the fermented wine into his eyes. After blinking, the **** shadow of a strong man extended from the pier to the roadside tavern.

Injecting blood into the eyes to observe the blood trajectory uses the reverberation power of blood and time and space, so it is not afraid of rain.

Without taking off the puppy's [Fish Training Ring], Shade took it directly across the street to the tavern. After pushing the door open and entering, more than 30 wet people sitting on the left and right sides of the tavern looked at Shade together.

It was warm and dry inside the tavern, but most of these people were dripping with water, and some had towels covering their heads. As for the tavern itself, it is a common downtown tavern in Green Lake City. The only thing worthy of praise is that there is a huge knitted blanket hanging on the back wall of the tavern, and the pattern of the blanket is roughly a map of the Old World.

The men who seemed to be confronting each other were located on the north and south sides of this huge map of the old continent.

"Sir, we are closed today, please leave."

Xia De didn’t pay attention to the looks of the thirty or so people, so the tavern owner sitting on the right side of the crowd stood up and said, Sha De turned around and closed the door. Of course, he closed the door in the tavern.

Look at the two groups of people:

"Are you all people picking up treasures by the river? Are there so many of you?"

It was obvious that someone in the crowd wanted to stand up and throw Shade out. Fortunately, the tavern owner wearing an apron and holding a gun did not want a conflict on his territory:

"We are the Delarians, and these people across from us are the Kasonrics."

He first pointed at his own side, and then at the thirteen people confronting them:

"These southerners suddenly appeared here today. They said they walked in the City of Glass and got here. Huh, illegal immigration sounds so nice."

The tavern owner snorted. As for the men around him who looked like they were not serious people at first glance, they were probably gangsters nearby or gangsters who had been drinking in the tavern all year round. To be able to open a tavern in a neighborhood like this, he must know a lot of people.

"So, you guys started fighting just now?"

Xia De asked again, and now someone finally couldn't help it. Sitting behind the tavern owner, a man taller than Shade and with a hound tattooed on his right arm patted the table and stood up:

"If you don't want to be thrown out by us, get out now!"

Xia De skillfully touched his waist, and when he took out the revolver, both groups also took out their weapons. With the clicking pistols being raised, under the dim light of the gas lamp in the tavern, not only Shade was targeted, but the two groups were also targeted at each other.

There were fifteen or six guns among more than thirty people, and the muzzles of the three guns were pointed at different people like triangles.

Shad looked at the others with the pistol in hand, and the others looked at him, while the dog looked at everyone at his feet.

After a second of silence in the tavern, Shade took the initiative to speak:

"I'm not trying to cause trouble. Just answer my two questions and I'll leave right away."

No one put down their pistols. The tavern owner frowned and asked:

"What do you want to know? If you also want the treasure, go up the river and look for it, but I warn you, no one who tries to find the treasure comes back."

Xia De ignored him:

"First question, for some property, you openly used guns and even killed people in the city. Are those things enough for so many of you?"

As mentioned in the description of the puppy, when the boy tried to leave the crowd, those people had already opened fire.

The fat owner of the tavern controlled his urge to curse and said in Delarian with an accent:

"Of course not just for the treasure, but also because they are Kasenlik people."

More than a dozen people behind him immediately echoed:

"Yeah, not just for the treasure. They're Southerners!"

"They want to steal our stuff!"

"Since these things appear in the upper reaches of the Duin River, they belong to the Delarians!"

"Yes, we must unite to defeat these Kasenrik people!"

"Are you still a Delarian? Do you think we are doing something wrong?"

"Damn it! Are you a traitor?"

"You are not loyal to Delrayon!"

Those chaotic echoing voices accused together in the chaos, not mentioning the treasure at all in their words, but only emphasizing their respective identities. They spoke righteously, some of which they had apparently heard from newspapers and from people who had marched recently. It is clear that these active illegal social organizations in the lower city have nothing to do with the dispute between the North and the South, but they can still say this.

Of course, the guns in everyone's hands did not move at all due to this.
