The Whispering Verses Chapter 2413: White Dragon Scale
Chapter 2414 White Dragon Scale
"Are you willing to let me go?"
The man wearing glasses asked in surprise, Shade thought for a while:
"Well, did you bring your wallet?"
"Of course I did. Who would go out without a wallet?"
"Give me half of the money in your wallet as a thank you for saving you."
The other party obviously never expected to encounter such a request, but if he really paid money to leave, he certainly wouldn't question it.
So the man who called himself "Claude Binns" took out his wallet and said to Shade:
"You saved me, of course I just need some money, I'll give it to you.
We can hear that this cemetery has secrets, but it’s not because of careful investigation. You should know that great nobles like the Wright family actually have many descendants. A professor from the Yuewan City School of Literature has conducted research and found that at least 5% of contemporary Yuewan residents have ancestry related to the seven major families. ”
He put the coins and banknotes in his wallet on the ground one by one:
“Only one of the many heirs can inherit property and titles. And the descendants who leave the family and drift away from the family have more or less things they brought from the family in their hands.
About two months ago, Xiacheng District, sorry, I can’t tell the specific location. A poor pregnant woman fainted in an alley in the lower city. We rescued her and helped contact the "Snake Heart Hospital" to admit her and successfully gave birth to a son.
She wanted to repay us, so she gave us the pendant that was said to be left by the child's gambler father before his death. We didn't want to accept it, but looking at the woman, she hated the man. He didn't want his son to be involved in any way with that man at all, even if the gambler had been beaten to death because of debts. ”
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the lower city. Shade has known the coroner Mr. Albert for nearly two months, and occasionally heard him tell stories about various corpses during the conversation.
Once you get involved in gambling, it’s not just the gambler himself who will be ruined.
"Is there something wrong with the pendant?"
"Yes."
He took out the silver pendant from his pocket and placed it next to the coins on the ground:
"We just regarded it as a thank-you gift from the woman at first, and didn't care about it. Until recently, well, the 'devotee', yes, our leader is called the 'devotee', and he asked us Investigating the ancient secrets of the seven major families, we realized that the symbol behind this pendant is very similar to the contemporary emblem of the Wright family, but it has been transformed.
After repeated inspections and divination, I discovered that if the pendant is illuminated with light at a specific angle, the address here will appear in the shadow of the pendant. But the address only points to an area of this underground tomb area. I think when the ancient ring warlock left this pendant, he probably didn't expect that the tomb area would eventually become so big. ”
Xia De waved, and the pendant on the ground flew towards him along with the banknotes and change. He checked briefly and nodded, so the man bowed slightly to Shade and then trotted past him.
Miss Elisa hid in the dark to avoid him, and waited until he was far away before coming out again.
Shad took out the medal that was painted red [Noble Blood Red]. After pressing the medal lightly, the medal transformed into a little bat and chased after the man who left.
After a moment, Xia De said:
"He left without looking back."
"So, the [Eternal Light], which helps the poor in the Lower City and instigates people to resist the nobles and businessmen, is really not a simple organization of ordinary people?"
The blue-eyed girl asked, Shade nodded while counting the bills:
"Yes, that's right. If it's just an organization of ordinary people, why would the 'Light Worshipers Training Association' need to go to so much trouble if they want to annex them? Mind control, killing and corpse control, and even disguise replacement are all very convenient. 2 crowns, 3 ores, 13 pfennig. If you have time later, madam, would you like to show your appreciation and let me treat you to a cup of afternoon tea?"
Xia De asked with a smile, so the girl said "reservedly":
“Don’t you have an appointment tonight?”
"But you can always make time. After you came to me, I never found time to spend with you."
"Seeing how pitiful you are, I will promise you."
As he spoke, he kissed the side of his face gently:
"Also, don't apologize to me. You don't owe me, I owe you."
Unfortunately, it is really inappropriate to continue this topic in someone else's underground cemetery.
The location information contained in the silver pendant indeed coincides with the specific location given by Luvia after divination. If the man who belonged to [Eternal Light] just now was luckier, he might be able to take away the hidden letter before Shade and the other two.
"But I'm still curious, what method do they have to hide their fate?"
The blue-eyed girl asked while Shade was carefully kneeling in the corner of a certain tomb deep in the tomb area, digging soil. Shade answered while digging:
"There is no need to explore these now. It seems that [Eternal Light] just accidentally learned that there might be something here, so they sent people here. They did not regard collecting dragon scales as their primary goal. I know [Eternal Light] 】You probably have something really good in your hands."
There was a pause at this point, but Miss Eleser didn’t know that Shade had thought of the Silmaril he had been looking for:
"With this connection established, I will have many opportunities to negotiate with them in the future, and I am not in a hurry to use what I am looking for. Now I have found my primary goal!"
The rusty iron box was dug out by Shade. The cover was cut open with a stroke of moonlight in his hand, revealing the sheepskin hidden inside that had been treated with a special potion. Therefore, not only was it not rotten, but the ink stains on it had not faded. Paper.
Xia De briefly read the above content and smiled. The location of the white dragon's scales is written on it, and the location is quite close.
After taking care of the things here, there is no need to return the horse to the farm when returning to the city. Instead, he rides directly to the dock.
Only during the return trip, it was no longer Shade sitting in front with the blue-eyed girl holding his waist behind, but the girl sitting in front and leaning on Shade's chest, with Shade's arms wrapped around her Holding the reins.
There were no accidents along the way, but when they were about to enter the city, they discovered that the city gate on the other side of the St. George Stone Bridge was actually under martial law. But it's not that they are not allowed to enter or exit, but the Kasenlik soldiers guarding the door are warning people entering the city to avoid drinking raw water.
"What's going on?"
Xia De still remembers that he promised to treat the blue-eyed girl to a cup of afternoon tea, but she insisted that it would not be necessary for the time being:
"Now is not the time for afternoon tea. Let's go back and ask about the situation first."
The two returned to the "Brilliant Messenger" in the heavy fog, and the horse was temporarily kept on the ship for his use. Miss Aurora, who stayed on the ship, also told them the current situation:
"About half an hour after you left, there were multiple poisoning incidents in the city. The multiple incidents refer to more than a hundred incidents."
The great witch of "light" shook her head:
"This luminous thick fog invaded rivers and wells, causing the water bodies to be infected with the power of the special light. Although the degree is very slight, even a first-level warlock like Agelina will not be affected. But it's still very toxic to ordinary people.
It has now been proven that heating boiled water or praying to the righteous gods before drinking water can avoid being affected. I don't know the specific damage situation here. Bella has already hurried out to go to the city council. I hope she can come back before dinner. ”
Due to the environmental and groundwater pollution caused by the steam industry, "drinking boiled water" has gradually become a living habit of residents in big cities, but there are still many people who occasionally drink raw water directly, especially in Xiacheng District. After all, boiling tap water or well water also costs gas money.
Weird guys like nobles and foreigners, even if they don't make tea and just drink plain water, they will definitely heat the water. Therefore, the people affected this time are actually more ordinary citizens from the middle and lower classes.
Although bad news broke out in the city again, there was at least good news, that is, Shade and Miss Elise successfully brought back the white dragon scale.
The parchment in the old tomb of the Wright family directly records that the dragon scales are actually in the tomb. But if there are no specific secret words and corresponding opening rituals, you can't get the dragon scales even if you dig the entire tomb area three feet.
"I was shocked at the time. The ring warlock of the Wright family was actually proficient in space power. The white dragon scales were almost sealed in the subspace. It was hard for me to imagine that the Wright family had ever had such an outstanding ring warlock. . Neither Miss Belindel’s detection methods nor Luvia’s compass work on this kind of scales.”
Shad still said this when Shade, Miss Elise, Miss Aurora and Luvia sat down at the long table in the cabin banquet hall.
The parchment was placed on the table together with the small box containing the dragon scales. The size and shape of the shimmering white dragon scales were no different from the other four dragon scales.
The other four dragon scales have been stored on the safer "Brilliant Messenger" after the portal was established, and have also been taken out by Miss Elisa at this time.
The five dragon scales, black, green, gold, silver and white, even if they are not placed in a specific position, they have a tendency to attract and resonate with each other.
“With each additional dragon scale, the power inspired by these scales becomes stronger, and it feels like an exponential increase.”
Shad commented. Luvia nodded and was about to speak when she saw Tifa, an elf girl with pointed ears, walking over.
The little unicorn and Agelina also came over to join in the fun, so Luvia explained to everyone:
"Although it is unlikely that Emilia will go to the battlefield in the end, she has drawn that sword after all, and she is also one of the candidates. It is necessary for her to understand these things, and after that, I will Asked Tifa to give her special training for the battlefield."
