The Whispering Verses Chapter 2134: Afternoon with the Witch
"Since you mentioned the dragon, Shade, I guess there are not completely no clues here."
Professor Manning said with a smile:
"I did not leave any written records of the excavation of the ruins back then, but I was not always busy with work during my time in Yuewan. Yuewan is an ancient city. Thanks to its location, there have been many people there in all eras. It is a big city, so I took the time to investigate the local legends and stories before leaving. If I remember correctly, an old boatman who went fishing once told me that he and his ancestors once lived in the city. I heard the roar of the dragon at night in the harbor."
"What?"
Xia De sat up straight:
"The old boatman."
"She should have passed away. I bet you can never find out this information now. The Yuewan Port has also changed a lot in recent decades. Many of the traditions of the past have disappeared, and the people and mouths who have lived there for generations have The stories passed down are also scattered. Can this help you? I remember clearly that the old boatman said that on a thundering night, it is possible to hear the roar of a dragon in the port, the louder the thunder, the better. Thunder is the best. But I am not sure whether he heard the thunder or the roar of the dragon."
As the professor said, he saw an ecstatic expression on Shade’s face:
"It's really a big help. Does thunder still need to be struck? I don't know whether artificial lightning meets the requirements."
Originally, the purpose of visiting Professor Manning was to find clues about God from the relics of the past. Shade really didn’t expect that this visit could actually obtain more direct information than that. Although the professor said this was just a local rumor, Shade instinctively felt that this was the target he was looking for almost as soon as he heard the information. His sixth sense for divinity had always been quite accurate, and he knew he had finally found his target.
As for directly creating thunder, it is not a difficult task for the ring warlocks. What is difficult is how to create thunder but avoid being hunted by the church. However, Shade still tended to wait for the natural thunder, so after saying goodbye to Professor Manning, he went to the Prophet Association to ask Luvia for help.
Predicting the weather is basic training for astrologers and prophets. Although Luvia herself has never been to Moon Bay, this does not prevent her from being a key training target of the association and being able to easily obtain information from other places. :
"Is this the weather forecast? Just wait here while I go to the third floor to apply for query permission."
About half an hour later, Luvia, who came back from the third floor, saw Vice President Mark in the divination room who was discussing the new series of decks with Shade. When the latter saw Luvia coming back, he left here wisely, and Luvia also brought the information Shade wanted:
"This is the weather forecast for the coming week from the Yuewan City Prophet Association."
This information also includes today's weather forecast. It seems that the association knew a week ago that today would be a snowy day. Of course, it will only be snowing and not thundering today, but it looks like the weather will not be very good within the Yuewan city limits before the end of the week.
Especially starting from noon on Sunday, there will be a large-scale thunderstorm in the offshore area of Yuewan. This is the most extreme climate change in the Yuewan area since the beginning of summer this year, and it will definitely affect the dock.
"Is it Sunday? Today is Friday, it seems I have to prepare in advance."
"Are you going to do something dangerous again?"
The purple-eyed girl asked him softly, but didn’t say much:
"I'm going to your house tonight. Don't you want to experience the power of the stars? I know you have an important card game to participate in. I'll wait for you at home."
I originally thought that since Luvia was going home tonight, he wouldn't have to take care of little Mia's dinner. But I didn't expect that this cat suddenly had some strange thoughts today. When Shade came home in the afternoon, the cat, which had had a full nap, naturally followed Shade when he went to the basement. When Shade When he was about to touch the statue of the ancient **** with his hand, he noticed that the cat was walking beside his feet, looking like it was natural.
"Meow~"
It rubbed against Sha De's trousers, obviously trying to follow Sha De's wishes. This made Sha De wonder if there was something in Yuewan City that was attracting this cat. Or maybe it just liked it. Snow weather.
As expected, the snow in Moon Bay was still falling. Since there was nothing to do, Shade didn’t want to take little Mia to the autopsy room, so at around three o’clock in the afternoon, he met at Belindel Manor who was processing meeting documents in the study. Blonde witch. There was heavy snow outside the window, and a fireplace bonfire was lit in the warm study room.
The current Speaker of the City Council is from the Eddington family, but the Belindel family still plays a pivotal role in the Council. The daily affairs of the family are handled by the countess, but her maids and followers, although few in number, are quite capable, so the witch will not waste too much time on daily affairs.
"Good afternoon, Miss Belinder."
"Good afternoon, what a beautiful cat~"
As soon as she raised her head, she was attracted by the cat on Shade's shoulder who was looking around curiously. Her legs were white as snow, and her body seemed to be covered with a soft orange blanket. Her big amber eyes are piercing and her body is small, but that makes her particularly pitiful:
"Is this the cat you raised? Did you bring it to Moon Bay? Although I knew you had a cat in [Dice Stories], I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."
She put down the pen in her hand, stood up and walked towards Shade. The one who led Shade in just now was the blond Miss Matilda. In addition to the head maid, the maids in the corridor outside the door also looked at the cat on Shade's shoulder.
"This cat is indeed very beautiful. Everyone who has seen it praises it so."
Shad has never been shy about praising little Mia's appearance, but he didn't say that this was actually not his cat.
Of course Miss Belindel wanted to touch it, but the agile cat avoided her. So far, little Mia only likes to be held by Shade and Tifa. As for wanting to touch it casually, this is Shade's exclusive privilege.
Miss Belindel also seemed to want to take a break from document work. Now that Shade was here, she ordered the maids to prepare afternoon tea and snacks. She seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and even mentioned that there were many cats in this manor, but none of them were as beautiful as the cat brought by Shade.
Because he was worried that the witch would really find other cats, which would irritate little Mia, who always hated the same kind of cats, Shade did not continue to struggle with the topic of raising pet cats and how to correctly identify the cat species that little Mia belonged to. He took out the pistol from his waist, turned it around, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him:
"This is what I depend on for the night."
"[Faded Memories]? The sage-level relic that Vanessa obtained from Sister Megan?"
She was quite curious and picked it up to check. Shade nodded:
"Yes, Miss Benenice and I still have contact information. This was just delivered at noon."
The blond witch did not ask what method could be used to deliver the relic remotely, but instead checked the bomb nest with great interest:
"Speaking of which, do you know what price Vanessa paid to exchange this relic from Megan and the others? I know that Megan and Audrey are very wealthy and have a lot of good things in their hands, but You wouldn’t give out a relic of this level easily, would you?”
This question is not easy to answer. Shade could only say vaguely:
"The relationship between Miss Benanith and Miss Edwards seemed to have become very good during the Green Lake incident, and this relic may be a symbol of friendship."
"How good of a relationship do you have to have before you can give me a sage-level relic?"
The blonde witch asked casually, put the muzzle of the gun to her forehead, pulled the trigger, and then fired another shot at the wall. A picture immediately appeared on the wallpapered wall, which looked at the snowy scene in the early morning from a first-person perspective.
"Is it possible that the relationship between Vanessa and the sisters is so good that they sleep in the same bed? Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't make such a joke."
She noticed the expression on Shade's face at this moment, and immediately apologized. Little did he know that what Xia De was thinking about was:
"That night at the Green Lake Hotel, after the awakened Agelina was taken away by Miss Carina, the ones who opened the portal to my room were Miss Sylvia, Miss Benanis and Sirius. Megan and Audrey are not with Miss Bernice for the time being. Oh, what was I thinking?"
The Countess didn't seem to have any plans to go out in the afternoon. She chatted with Shade about her recent findings in the investigation, and listened to Shade's analysis of the connection between the "Eternal Light" organization and the headless serial murders. She even took out a fortune telling card and wanted to divine the cat lying on Sha De's lap, but unfortunately she did not get Sha De's consent:
"Probably another result of the sun."
"Why do you think so?"
"I have a friend who is very good at divination. Yes, it's the one I mentioned last time who thought I was definitely not the chosen one. She divined for this cat, and every time it was the sun."
"If you have a chance in the future, please let me meet that female fortune teller."
Miss Belindel was immediately aroused to be competitive.
In short, everything went well on this Friday afternoon. The witch, Shade and the cat ushered in the sunset in the warm study. Then she invited Shade to have dinner at the manor. After dinner, she and Shade walked in the snowy courtyard together and talked about the preparations and preparations of the Witch Council regarding the possible appearance of the "light" chosen one in Yuewan City. Response plan.
Others certainly don’t know what the countess and this man who suddenly appeared recently are doing. Mrs. Belindel, who also lives in the manor, is the witch’s mother, and is still seeing her daughter and the man falling in love. While walking in Snow Flower's courtyard, I found the head maid and asked about the situation:
"What is the relationship between Bella and this gentleman? Isn't he a guest sent by Her Highness Margaret to supervise the business?"
"Madam, he is"
The blonde maid found it difficult to answer this question, but from the attitude of the head maid, the old woman also got the answer:
"That's it, Matilda, Bella, how does she feel about that gentleman?"
The maid also found this question difficult to answer. After all, she couldn't say that her master had fallen in love with this man.
