The Whispering Verses Chapter 306: Apple and Professor
"The key to the door...but what does this spell have to do with the story of God?"
The voice in his ear did not answer Shade. On the contrary, thick white fog appeared behind him.
The singing of the three witches did not stop there. They stood by the bonfire and watched the strangers gradually being swallowed up by the white mist. Everyone's eyes seemed to be shining, and they gave their sincere blessings to Sha De:
"Traveler in a foreign land, I hope that your presence will always be in the wind that blows around the world."
"Man in the future, I hope you can always see the rising sun every time it rises."
"Unexpected guest, may time be with you, may the silver moon always take care of you."
Amidst the sound of the piano and singing, white mist engulfed Sha De. He left, but the voices of the witches seemed to have traveled through the forest and the long river of time. Even though Shade was already standing in Saint Teresa Square, those songs seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
"Meow?"
The cat lying on the sofa saw Shade coming out of the door with a wistful expression, so he turned over and exposed his white belly, calling out to attract him to come over.
Xia De sighed and walked towards the coquettish cat on the sofa:
"Their singing..."
【How is it? 】
"It's really better than opera."
【Are you worried that you won’t be able to hear it in the future? 】
She is chuckling.
"Of course I don't think so. Your voice is better than theirs. I was just thinking that it is known that Miss Feliana will not die in the Forest of Thousand Trees, but the other two witches will not die in the Forest of Thousand Trees. Knowing if you can get out of there alive."
The establishment of St. Byrons happened in the last era. Due to the loss of history, even if Shade checked the information, he could not confirm who the students beside Miss Feliana were when the college was first established.
The time just passed midnight, Shade sat on the sofa and hugged the coquettish cat:
"Obviously we are no longer facing gods in this time travel, but I still feel that the pressure is no less than the first time."
【Are you confident that you can complete the task? 】
She asked softly in her ear.
"Of course I'm confident. It's a waste of time to delay it for a month at worst, but Miss Feliana helped me, and I will help her too."
Lowering his head, he discovered that the [Metamorphosis Ring] was somehow attached to Mia's tail.
Shad smiled and took off the ring. Amid Mia's dissatisfied cry, he put the cat on the sofa. He took the ring into the hidden wall of the basement and put the ring next to the wall.
He did not leave, but looked at the sage-level relic [God's Gift Box] that was also placed here. It's Monday and the children get a gift from the box each week.
Shad liked this kind of "lottery"-like activity very much. Although he had to complete some tasks to get the gifts, he still had great confidence in himself.
For the so-called sense of ritual, I specially carried the box to the coffee table on the second floor. After washing my hands, I gently pushed open the lid of the box and stretched my arms in.
"What could it be? Do you have the luck to get the relic?"
Under Mia Cat's curious eyes, Shade slowly pulled out his hand. Everyone and the cat looked at the hand, which held a plump red apple.
This is not a special item disguised as an apple, this is really just an apple. Shade looked at it and took a bite. It tasted quite good. When Mia saw Shad eating, she immediately stretched out her paws to pick at him, and Shad took a small piece of her.
"But why did you give me an apple?"
Xia De fell into deep thought, and the task of obtaining the apple was to brush his teeth carefully before going to bed for three consecutive days.
(Xiao Mia is sleeping Zz...)
The key to completing the Time Key in 3002 is for Shade to complete the ritual in the Sixth Age - contacting the old **** [Year Transformation Door]. Of the two current ideas, looking for new blood money should probably go to Coldwater Port. After all, Luvia has already searched Tobesk and the surrounding areas, and has also placed a reward on the black market. To find the ancient organization [Guiding Light Monastery], you need to find friends related to academics for help. Academic groups that study doomsday theory cannot be found by publishing in newspapers.
So on Monday morning, Shade visited Professor Manning alone at No. 17 Mao Tail Lane. He and Professor Manning originally only met because of the "Happy Dream Pen", but later they met again when participating in an academic report, and they got along quite well, so it was okay to call them friends now.
Because it was Monday, I was worried that the professor would have to go out for something, so Shade came very early. Not long after knocking on the door, the familiar fat maid opened the door. The professor had also just finished breakfast. He was wearing home clothes and slippers and sitting in the restaurant reading the newspaper. It seemed that he did not plan to go out in the morning.
When Shade came to him, the professor pointed at the obituary of Anthony Wargrave, the Chief of Police at Rydwich Field, in the newspaper and complained about the security problems in Tobesk:
"Detective, I have lived in this city for fifty years. This is the first time I have encountered cultists killing hundreds of people in one night, including the police chief. I even doubt that I have Back when I was young, I ran to a remote town where ruins were being excavated, and got involved in the death of the town’s sheriff, and the stupid local townspeople..."
He mumbled without making the second half of the sentence clear, but Shade seemed to have heard the words "shootout" and "corpse." It seemed that the young age of the archaeologist was not as peaceful as that of ordinary scholars.
Professor Manning is very talkative, so Shade did not directly tell the purpose of his visit, but talked with the professor about the terrible things last week. Professor Manning fully accepted the rhetoric in the newspaper. While he railed against the cultists, he was also dissatisfied with the insensitivity of Ledwich Field, MI6 and the church.
In his view, since citizens pay taxes, they should be protected. What happened a week and a half ago fully demonstrated that the city hall definitely did not use all the tax money in appropriate places.
Then Shade realized that what the professor really wanted to complain about was the kingdom's tax policy. He believed that professors should enjoy special tax exemptions for their salaries, instead of paying full taxes like ordinary people.
To ask Professor Manning for help, Shade's excuse was that he was dealing with a troublesome commission and therefore needed to obtain some information from scholars who studied doomsday theory.
Professor Manning is a very optimistic person and is a little disgusted with the so-called "doomsday theory", but since Shade is just for the commission, he is of course willing to help. When Professor Manning was young, he made many friends through archeology around the world, and he was able to help Shade get information.
"Of course, it's best not to make this matter too public, and I don't want to expose my client's information."
Xia De said embarrassedly. Seeing that the professor agreed, he took out the prepared envelope again, which contained 10 pounds:
"The matter is a bit urgent, I hope you can give me news within a week. Please accept this, no, don't refuse in a hurry, the client will reimburse the expense, so you are actually taking it from my client Money is not given to you by me.”
Xia De will not let the professor help him for nothing. Although he is a friend, if he asks someone to help him for nothing, the relationship between friends will become weaker and weaker.
