The Whispering Verses Chapter 2404: Required for the ceremony


Compared with manors, witches also prefer cabins with Fifth Era interior styles. In fact, witches like any fifth era culture and popular style. They have always been thinking about the era when witches dominated the world.

Because the ship's portal is located in the huge banquet hall in the cabin, the banquet hall with five long tables has become the main activity place for the witch and her followers.

The banquet hall is actually a two-story building, with stairs leading to the upper floor on both sides of the door. It's just that the upper floor is just a corridor around the wall. People holding wine glasses during the banquet can look down into the banquet hall below, or enter the room on the other side of the corridor to rest.

When Shade appeared in the cabin, the busy girls gathered at the table, either looking through Miss Belindel's documents of the seven major families, or handling complicated documents for their respective mistresses. Work.

Miss Matilda and Tifa are waiting for Shade, and they are leading the work of reading and summarizing the three materials.

So the five people sat down at the end of the long table. First, Tifa informed Shade of the MI6 investigation results:

“There were too many suspect accounts mentioned in the original investigation report. We conducted another round of screening based on transaction frequency and consistency with the dates you provided. There are now a total of two suspect accounts left. ."

Two documents held in folders were handed to Shade, and at the top of the first page of each document, there was an additional black and white photo pinned, which is the appearance of the suspected account holder. :

"The holders of these two accounts are not ordinary civilians. The first one is local businessman Thomas Pigeon. When he was young, he followed the fleet to the Kingdom of the Islands-Keiragli to resell smuggled goods many times. Later, He also had his own ships and developed into a fleet.

Although the fleet is not very large, it still has a certain reputation in Yuewan. His ship mainly carries rare minerals discovered from Kailagli, so every time it enters the port, it must pass the strictest inspection of the Carsonlik Customs Department. Office 6 found this account, which was the account used by the Pijin fleet for bulk cargo transactions. ”

As Tifa said, Shade picked up the document and briefly looked through it:

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

It was Miss Matilda who answered this question:

"The Port Authority has always suspected that Pigeon's fleet had reached some kind of deal with the pirates of Kailagli, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that his ships were rarely plundered by pirates. But because he spent so much money on love He is an important figure in the Dington family, so several investigations have failed. The relationship between the seven major families in Yuewan City is complicated, so these worms have room for survival."

Tifa then continued to introduce the second person:

"The second one is also related to the Eddington family. Carmen Eddington, the third son of Earl Eddington, is a famous musician in Moon Bay."

"Musician?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and then said after getting a definite answer:

"This Mr. Eddington is definitely not a vampire. My vampire friends told me that they do not allow members of the seven major families to develop into the same race. This is not because the blood of the seven major families is special, but The vampires who have settled in the local area do not want to cause trouble for themselves. This is the era of human civilization, and they are also very cautious."

Of course, Xia De still needs to verify whether it is true or not.

"But how can a musician like this have a regular account for large transactions?"

Luvia asked:

"It can't be that he is still reselling pianos, right?"

Tifa continued to answer:

"The investigation report given by the Sixth Bureau did not make it very clear, but this matter may involve corruption in the construction of Yuewan Bridge. The Sixth Bureau's guess is that either the musician's account, It is a 'bridge' account for corruption funds, or he himself is one of the direct beneficiaries of the Yuewan Bridge corruption problem.

Although he is a musician, he is not unable to rely on the huge influence of the Eddington family to help others deal with some troublesome matters. ”

"That bridge is actually involved?"

Luvia shook her head, and Shade said:

"I entrusted 'Grey Gloves' to help me investigate the construction corruption problem of Yuewan Bridge. It can be said that someone from the seven major families benefited from it. Yes, Belindel also, but the problem is not big, so Miss Belindel didn't bother to pay attention."

Of course this was what Shade said in a nice way, and Matilda on the side did not correct him. The actual situation is that the countess knows that it is impossible for her to not participate in this kind of thing. If the other six families are reaching out, but only one family is not, this is a typical case of "disunity."

He frowned:

"Is the corruption at Danyuewan Bridge also related to the [Dragon Feast Order]?"

Because the musician himself is most likely not a vampire, and coupled with the actual purpose of the account, the possibility that he is a key suspect in the connection between vampires and cultists is greatly reduced.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the more unlikely the candidate, the more likely it is that there will be big problems, so he will handle this matter very carefully in the future.

After Tifa finished talking, it was Miss Matilda's turn.

The blond maid from the southern country has been avoiding Sha De for some reason recently, and she is not even willing to look at Sha De. Shade didn't know what problem she had encountered, but fortunately, at least she was normal now:

"The notebook 'left' by the thirteen-ring warlock has no element response, and the information recorded in it is not a curse or other trap. The notebook records four relics and their characteristics, and the other pages are blank."

"Relics? Please tell me carefully."

"Okay, two of them are the 'Higgs Dragon Head Stone' and the 'Hafana Dragon Body Stone' that the lady mentioned to you. They are both Keeper-level relics, but as long as the two stones are put together, Together, it can transform into the [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone]. According to the notebook, the [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone] is an angel-level relic."

As the blond maid said, Luvia asked Shade:

"Based on the performance of the [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] in your hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that this relic is rated as a sage level. Shade, if the two stones are put together, the [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone] is really Can you defeat an individual by transforming him into a giant dragon?"

"I'm afraid the dragon transformed by this relic is not an ordinary dragon. Why should I fight with each other?"

Xia De asked strangely:

"Obviously, this relic is most likely used for the ceremony of the chosen one, but I don't need to hold the ceremony of the chosen one."

Luvia smiled and did not comment:

"It seems that this notebook was really left to us intentionally by the 'Light Chaser', but what does he want to do? What are the other two relics?"

"A sage-level relic [the apron of the unknown swordsmith]. Throwing this relic into the fire can call the 'unknown swordsmith'. It is considered a humanoid relic, and the prototype lived in the second era. .

After defeating the swordsmith holding a hammer, you can provide raw materials for the swordsmith to forge a sword tailor-made for you. Swords forged through this method are considered to be relic derivatives. ”

Tifa answered again, and Shade asked:

"How powerful a sword can this relic be made from?"

"It depends on the material. According to the information in this notebook, the material is precious enough to forge an angel-level sword."

"Sage-level relics, cast relic derivatives that can be rated as angel-level?"

Luvia raised her eyebrows. After all, generally speaking, the rating of the relic derivatives would not exceed the rating of the relic itself.

"But where are the relics?"

Xia De asked again, the black-haired maid shook her head:

"After obtaining this information, I have applied to the Parliament for investigation. But this is different from [Star Sword Stone]. The Parliament has no clues for the time being."

"Where is the fourth relic?"

"This item has a lower rating, a poet-level (level 5) relic, an ointment slug. This is also a living relic, and there is a population. Its population history can be traced back to the original era. It is a very ancient creature. However, this kind of slug does not like to live in groups. The average height of the slug is about 3 meters, and it can move very fast when it encounters danger.

This creature is considered to be an alternative 'light element creature', and some research even claims that they have a thin lineage of dragons. ”

This is not surprising, dragons can have offspring with almost any creature.

"After killing the slug, the slug corpse will turn into foam and disappear, but some ointment-like substances will be left behind. This special ointment is regarded as a relic derivative 'slug ointment', and its uses are extremely wide. It is involved in many ancient magic potion formulas. At the same time, this ointment is used to maintain metal products and will strengthen the metal to a qualitative level. It is suitable for both cold weapons and mechanical devices."

Shad knew about this kind of relic, and mentioned it many times in the "Pink Book". But instead of preparing a magic potion, you prepare a lubricating ointment.

The [Ointment Slug] is also very harmful. The land it crawls over at normal speed will turn into an oily paste. Due to the influence of the whispering element, even if it is purified afterwards, those lands will not be affected for a long time. Want to grow any more plants. The slug in the form of light can turn any entity it touches into ointment.

Because of the harmfulness of this kind of pollution, although [Oil Slug] has the lowest danger rating, it must be killed immediately once found. Fortunately, slugs are docile and generally do not attack humans. Their combat effectiveness varies according to the age and size of the individual.

The average combat power of [Ointment Slug] is similar to that of ordinary alien creatures, but the book also records ancient slugs that can fight with giant dragons and unicorns. But overall, it's not a very dangerous relic.

"Is anyone currently raising this kind of relic?"

Xia De then asked again, but this time the answer he got was still shaking his head.

[Oil Slug] is extremely rare, and every time it seems to appear out of thin air, its habitat cannot be traced. However, there are a lot of 'slug ointments' existing in the material world, which are the derivatives of living relics after death, but Shade feels that if this is also a material needed for the ceremony of the chosen one, it probably needs to be obtained from living bodies.
