The Whispering Verses Chapter 319: Xia De’s guess

In addition to the relics, curses and nursery rhymes, Miss Princes also wanted to buy some books from the lighthouse to kill her recent boring time, so after the conversation at the cliff, Shade and Shade were finally invited Go inside the lighthouse.

The interior space of the masonry lighthouse is small, but at least it is clean and there is no strange smell. The lowest level is the living area for the tower keepers, and the upper level is the working area. Mr. Edmond entertained them with cheap tea, and in the end Miss Princess spent 78 pounds and bought two books.

One of them is the study notes of a ring warlock who is proficient in the elements of enlightenment, and the other is an old book that may obtain the [Ocean] Spirit Rune after reading it.

Shad picked up an old book "The Windy Abyss" related to [Wind] from Flamel's safe house in the morning. While Miss Princes was picking out the old book, Shad took it out and invited Mr. Edmond's valuation. The old man finally gave a price of 41 pounds and 4 shillings, which was far lower than the price of "Sea Soul Record" bought by Miss Prince.

After all, "The Wind Rises in the Abyss" is the basic book on the elemental spirit runes of earth, wind, water, fire, and the book in my hand is already a handwritten copy of the original version translated twice, so it is normal that the price is lower.

Without choosing to stay, Shade sold the book directly to Mr. Edmond. If he wants to obtain the spiritual rune [Wind] in the future, he can borrow a book from the St. Byrons Library. This is not a rare book. And with the Red Moon Witch, he didn't have to worry about not being able to borrow books.

It's a pity that St. Byrons does not give practical credits for recycling similar occult books, otherwise Shade's 15-credit pressure would be lessened.

The two spent the remaining hour and a half of the afternoon in the old lighthouse. By the time they said goodbye to Mr. Edmund, the sunset had already appeared in the western sky.

I didn't leave immediately, but stood on the edge of the sea cliff and looked at the sea and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was too stuffy inside the lighthouse.

The calm sea surface was reflected red at the moment, and the sparkling waves were even a little dazzling. Seagulls circled in the distant space, and the sound of sirens slowly came from further away, overlapping with the sound of the waves.

"That curse..."

Shad hesitated to speak, while Miss Princes reached out and took off the mask on her face. Shade saw her face. She was a very beautiful lady, and her expression occasionally showed a look that was very familiar to Shade.

"Don't worry, although it is a curse caused by an angel-level relic, hasn't it been contained now?"

She shook the golden ring on the finger of her right hand. The sea breeze blew, and the hanging hair on her temples swayed with the wind. Her green eyes reflected Shade who was close at hand.

Shad looked back at the lighthouse behind him and took off his mask. He hesitated, looked at Miss Princes, and then turned to look at the sea. He had never lived in a coastal city in his past life or his new life. Although I have been to Lengshui Port City before, I never had the opportunity to quietly watch the sunset on the sea like now.

Neither of them spoke. When seagulls flew over their heads, bringing distant cries in the sky, Xia Decai suddenly spoke:

"If you trust me...can you let me touch your forehead with my finger? I have a strange ability to detect curses."

Shad wants to rely on close skin contact to detect traces of whispering elements. Although Miss Princes and Shade had nothing to do with each other, since they met occasionally and the other party tried their best to help him, Shade thought of helping others.

However, not only for ordinary people, but also for ring magicians, having someone touch their head with their fingers is also a very dangerous behavior. Many mind control and necromantic spells and thaumaturgy require touching the head.

"Of course I believe you."

Contrary to what Shade thought, Miss Princes did not politely refuse, and she nodded in agreement without even thinking about it. Seeing him in a daze, he asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? Do you need anything extra?"

"No, no need."

As the sun sets, the sea breeze becomes a little stronger. Miss Princes raised her right hand and brushed the broken hair on her forehead, then tilted her body slightly and stretched her head over.

Her skin is very good, with no obvious pore marks or acne marks. He came closer to Sha De, with a very relaxed smile on his face, which made Sha De hesitate:

"Is her favorable impression of me a little too high?"

But thinking that the other person was trying his best to help him, and that he was cursed by a sage-level relic and would soon die, Shade stretched out his right index finger and put it on the other person's forehead.

The skin is warm, making Xia De a little embarrassed:

"Please wait a few minutes."

He said, and then asked in his heart:

"Is this kind of contact okay?"

[Yes, I have sensed the whisper element. It is indeed a very strong curse. 】

Xia De waited quietly for a while, keeping his hand on the other person's forehead. Without both parties speaking, this can make the atmosphere a bit awkward. And at close range, Shade could also smell the pleasant scent of perfume on the other party.

The smell is very light and not pungent at all. He had never smelled a similar smell on anyone else, and even the three-pound bottle of perfume that Iluna said didn't seem to smell as good as this.

[That’s it. 】

"What result?"

[The whisper element is very strong and is entangled with her soul. The ring she bought and the rubies she wore in her ears could curb this curse, but they could not completely cure it. 】

"Is there any way I can help her?"

[Pull her soul completely out of her body, and then rely on your "soul echo" to tear the soul apart inch by inch and illuminate it with moonlight. 】

"Okay."

Xia De nodded and took his hand back:

"Sorry, I don't think I can help you."

"It doesn't matter. If the curse spread by a sage-level relic can be lifted so easily, then we have to question whether this relic is qualified to be rated as a sage-level."

The blonde girl said with a regretful expression on her face, but it was not because Shade couldn't help her:

"It's already evening... Today goes by really fast."

The sunset at the beach was particularly dazzling, and Miss Prince's long hair shone brightly in the sunlight. Sighing at the sea under the setting sun, she then turned to look at Shade:

"Well, Mr. Watson, we have one last trip today. After the trip, our employment relationship will end."

"Um...ok. Where to go next?"

"There is a small ring warlock auction locally, and I happen to have an invitation. But to attend the auction, you need to dress more formally."

She took a look at Shade’s outfit:

"How about we each go back and change clothes and meet at the intersection of Conch Street in the dock area in an hour?"

"One hour...I don't have any formal clothes in my luggage."

Xia De said with some embarrassment that an hour to and from home was not enough. He was far away from the beach where he landed.

"But if you are late, you will be late."

Miss Princess stared at him.

"Oh, actually I can find a ready-made clothing store and buy a formal suit."

Xia De is just not willing to spend the extra money. The price of formal clothes worn for formal occasions is not calculated based on the price of fabrics and handwork. One set of clothes can earn an average person several weeks' salary.

"Actually, you can rent one."

He nodded and said.

"No need to go to such trouble, I do have a set of men's formal clothes there, which I prepared when I went out in disguise last time."

Miss Princes said.

"But... does it fit?"

Shad was quite embarrassed. He was much taller than Miss Princes, and the young sorceress was thinner.

"It probably fits."

She said in a relaxed tone, but she didn't look worried at all.

So the two first walked back to the dock area from the remote old lighthouse sea cliff, and then took a carriage back to the Robin Hood Street Apartments in the South District of Coldwater Port City.

Because the road was a bit long, when they opened the door and entered the apartment again, the street lights outside were already on.

Miss Princes opened her closet and actually took out a men's formal suit from the closet. Tops, shirts, pants, leather shoes, ties, belts, and even tie clips are included.

Because only the narrow bathroom in the apartment was completely isolated from other spaces, Miss Princes asked Shade to go to the bathroom to change clothes. She wanted to change clothes outside.

Of course Xia De agreed, but when he changed his clothes, he realized that the clothes were not only suitable, but they were close to the body.

He looked in the mirror in the bathroom to see how he looked after changing his clothes. He straightened his tie and became more and more confused about the lady changing clothes outside:

"This can no longer be explained by coincidence... Could it be that Ms. Carina, whom I haven't seen for a week, is joking with me..."

But the lady outside is obviously not a witch, and there is no connection with the duchess. But Shade thought of the contents of the diary he read in the afternoon, the inexplicable familiarity of Miss Princes, and all her abnormal behavior today:

"Could it be..."

Xia De frowned.

Miss Princess put on a very nice blue dress, but the jewelry on her body remained unchanged. After the two packed up, they left the apartment and got on the carriage to the dock area.

The carriage took them all the way to the trestle in the dock area. The two got off the bus after putting on masks, and then walked side by side on the trestle.

The sun completely disappeared below the horizon dozens of minutes ago, and night fell in Coldwater Harbor City. When I came to the beach, even though it was still summer, I still felt a little cold in the sea breeze.

Even if it is a small-scale auction, it will not be held boldly in the urban area of ​​Coldwater Port, under the eyes of the Five Gods Church. The specific location was at sea, and a masked banquet was held for local ladies and gentlemen on the deck of a cruise ship. Because they were masked, it was not difficult to figure out what the people who came to such a banquet wanted to do.

The Ring Warlocks boarded the cruise ship in the name of participants in the deck banquet, wearing masks and boarding the cruise ship. After the cruise ship left the coastline, they participated in a small auction and returned to the port at midnight. Ladies and gentlemen would run out of their cabins at night, kiss strangers goodbye and leave, and the ring wizards could hide their identities.

In the free-spirited and chaotic seaport city, outsiders can encounter more unimaginable things.
