The Whispering Verses Chapter 2913: Raised pigeons
Chapter 2912 The pigeons being raised
The devil said, pinching a few beans from the plate between the two, and then threw them to the pigeons on the ground who looked very expectant. The city of Vesta is located in the forest area of the central part of the Old World. Winter temperatures are far less low than in coastal areas. Most of the birds here do not spend the winter far away:
"Do you know the relationship between pigeon farmers and pigeons?"
Shad watched the pigeons peck the beans without any sense of danger:
"If it's just a literal relationship, I think I know."
“Pigeons are the eyes and ears of pigeon breeders, and sometimes they can even be regarded as the embodiment of pigeon breeders, but the pigeons themselves may not be aware of this at all.”
The devil asked Xiang Shade:
"The answer you want is probably this. Bennett is the pigeon in the woods who raises and breeds from generation to generation."
"So you just told me so bluntly?"
"You want the answer, and I'll give it to you. If you said you should worry about the person outside the city, maybe you haven't noticed that this town is safer than the forest outside. The enlightening elements of the human community are completely It can block the big tree that is not willing to show up yet, otherwise it would not have to raise pigeons from generation to generation.
Besides, tonight’s celebration is really lively.”
Shad was actually very worried about the safety of the pigeons - referring to the pigeons that had eaten the beans thrown away by the devil. He lightly tapped the wooden table with his fingers, and then turned his attention from the pigeons to the lively people beside the campfire. Crowd:
"I originally thought it was omnipotent, but after hearing you say it, it seems to be nothing."
The demon also followed his gaze and looked at the crowd around the bonfire. It did not continue to follow Shad's topic:
"The current scene reminds me of some transactions a long time ago. Although human beings are developing and changing, human nature has never changed. Men always like eighteen-year-old girls, and rich people always like Because she wants more wealth, even the most beautiful witch will be jealous of the appearance of her companions, and the person sitting on the throne is always jealous of everyone except herself.
Someone once made three wishes to me with his soul: immortality, and meeting me once every hundred years. Only after making the third wish can I take away his soul. He seemed to want to prove that he could defeat the greed in his heart, so I agreed to this seemingly unreasonable wish. You know, what happened in the end? ”
"He lost?"
"It's hard to say whether I won or lost, but I got his soul. After our eighth meeting, the man who had tasted all kinds of life made a wish for me to kill him and end his life. Said he had had enough."
It was obviously another story about someone selling their soul to the devil, but Shade laughed and then looked at it again:
"In the eyes of ancients like you, human nature is so simple. With a little use, you can get anything you want from mortals, right?"
The devil also moved his eyes away from the dancing bonfire in the center of the square and looked at Shade again:
"Yes, the ancients all understood this truth, so raising pigeons is a very simple matter for them."
After these words, they both fell silent. The two of them kept looking at each other while people behind and around them walked by. The flame of the gas lamp overhead flickered a few times due to the air pressure, but the pigeons still wanted to eat the beans, so they looked at the "person" who just threw them food.
No one turned their attention to this corner of the square, and the colorful picture seemed to have turned into a silent film. It was not until Shade took the initiative to close his eyes and sighed that the silent confrontation just ended. He still had one question to ask, but this question was definitely not free.
"Do you want to ask, how do you deal with it? The strength of the chosen ones has not yet grown enough to fight against such a powerful enemy, and the flames of the First Fire have not yet reunited. It is indeed difficult to defeat it at present. ."
The devil asked, but Shade shook his head:
"That's not what I want to know. I want to know, when the story ends this time, will I have to face the choice I have to make?"
The young man across the table raised his eyebrows:
"Don't think too much of me, but if you say so, I can probably guess something."
He twirled his fingers at Sha De, but Sha De shook his head:
"No, I just want to see if you understand this matter and get your attitude. However, if you really want to trade with me, I would like to know how you got here. ."
The devil's eyes narrowed slightly, and it stretched its head towards Shade across the table, its neck seemed to be stretched a lot:
"Tell me, do you really want to know this?"
Xia De shut his mouth tightly and even controlled his head not to make any movements that might be mistaken for "agree".
Seeing Shade's appearance, the devil across the table retracted his head again, narrowed his eyes and warned:
"Don't try to ask about the origin of any evil spirit, never. Even if the little story I'm about to tell you is just a story about a wish but overcoming a wish, the price is not something you can bear now. ."
"My doctor friend said something similar."
Shade then spoke, and the red light in the eyes of the devil across the table faded:
"About Bennet, I can give you one last warning. That family is blessed by the tree, don't think that any spying spells, relics or magical spells can work on them."
Xia De nodded to show that he understood:
"Since this is the last warning, are you leaving? Before leaving, can you tell me why you showed up in Vista City? You were here last night, weren't you? But you just took the trading time Is it because of this young man who is controlled by you?"
The devil showed a sneer on his face:
"It seems you haven't realized this yet, but that's okay, you will soon."
As it spoke, it closed its eyes and lay down on the table. After a moment, the young man sat upright again in a daze. He looked around in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he was here.
But soon he seemed to have found a reason to convince himself. He stood up holding his painful head and stumbled into the crowd in the square. He didn't even look at Shade during the whole process.
"Possessed by evil spirits, he probably won't live past thirty."
Xia De looked at the halo of light in the wine glass that was dimmed by the gas lamp and thought that if he was in the mood, he might have stopped the other person just now and asked him what wish he had made. But he is not in the mood now, so he can only use the [Moon Library] to draw the other person's face when he goes back, and then throw the information to the church for them to deal with.
"The Bennets?"
Tonight their family will definitely be listening to a concert in the splendid concert hall not far away. In the past two months in Vista City, except for Linda Bennett in the Love Lake incident, Shade So far, no evidence has been found that any Bennet has any major problems:
"Could it be that Desire asked me to collect the debt, and said that the other party was hiding in a place where it couldn't go, because Bennet was protected by a tree?"
He thought again, but if this thought is true, it means that desire is no match for the remains of the World Tree:
"Any investigative thaumaturgy and relics are useless against them. Speaking of which, I don't think I have ever used such a [Family Stabilizer] on them!"
He thought of Miss Danister’s clerical relic, which was used to determine blood relationships:
"Regardless of whether they have other relationships, at least now I am not sure whether Mr. Bennet's five children are related to him by blood."
Thinking of this, his eyes widened slightly:
"So, as long as there are two children who are not his biological children, Mr. Bennet may actually have only three children, which would fit the description of the mermaid."
[You only need to have a biological child who is not his to qualify. Linda Bennet, the third daughter of the Bennet family, was sent to the church to be a nun after the Bronte and Love Lake incidents. It can be considered that she was removed from the Bennet family. 】(2747)
"She" whispered in his ear, and Shade also remembered this matter:
"But at least Mrs. Bennet, who is very worried about her daughters' marriage problems, is real. This cannot be faked."
This time "she" did not refute Shade, but the Bennet family has become the core of everything at this time, so it is really unclear what secrets Shade will discover next. .
He also picked up a few beans and threw them to the pigeons who had not yet left. Everyone is happy to celebrate the festival today. This group of pigeons that walk in the square all year round begged for a lot of food.
This reminded Shade of the pigeons that lived in St. Teresa Square outside his home and were stared at by cats basking all year round. They may have also flown to this forest to spend the winter.
Sighing slightly, he happened to see a little flower seller selling flowers to pedestrians nearby, so Shade called her over:
"Are there any roses?"
The flower girl with two pigtails on her head looked to be in her teens, and was much shorter than Vanessa today. She was wearing unfashionably thin clothes, and the whitewashed dress looked like summer wear.
But even though she was shivering from the cold, she still tried hard to show her enthusiasm while carrying a flower basket:
"Yes sir, these are very fresh red roses. How many do you need?"
"How many do you have?"
The flower girl, who is used to seeing all kinds of customers, immediately realized what the other party wanted to do:
"There are 9 flowers left, sir. Do you need to wrap them separately for you?"
Her flower basket itself is not big, and the nine flowers already take up a large part.
Xia De did the math:
"Nine flowers, one for each person should be enough. No need to wrap them separately, just tie them together with old newspapers."
