The Whispering Verses Chapter 343: School of Political Economics
Lecia was an official student of Zalas Literary Academy when she was in the lower grade. She later left the academy and returned to Delarion due to family reasons, so her basic knowledge is very solid.
"This matter is no longer within the scope of our influence. I received news that the Church of the Five Gods actually sent new high-level warlocks directly from the Holy See to the Diocese of Coldwater Port. The three major thaumaturgy academies also sent their respective Professors from the School of Political Science and Economics rushed here"
"School of Political Economics?"
Shad suddenly asked. He still remembered that this was the only college in St. Byrons that did not recruit correspondence magicians. At that time, he asked the doctor about the specific situation, but the doctor just refused to answer vaguely.
"Oh, yes, you're only a month old, so you don't know."
Lesia, who was wearing a silver crown behind the desk, nodded and explained again:
"The three major thaumaturgy academies all have political and economic branches. This department corresponds to the management of non-human alien creatures, that is, the management of humanoid race students, and the handling of special events involving the participation of creatures of other races. Chapter 1 In the contemporary era of the Sixth Age, non-human races are rarely seen in the civilized world."
The only ones Shade has ever really seen are vampires.
"So, the college will not discuss xenobiotics too much with lower-grade students, which involves some things that I don't know about. In short, both the college and the church are actively dealing with this incident. There are even Rumor has it that some secret sects are also heading to Coldwater Port from the New World. These people seem to be very concerned about this matter. This is very puzzling. When did the group of ring magicians based in the New World become so enthusiastic?"
She frowned beautifully.
Xia De knows the truth, but he can’t tell it, so he can only add:
"I also heard that a great witch from the Witch Council is coming here."
When the first section of "The Whispering Psalm" was going on, because some people still doubted the authenticity of the great prophecy, the identity of the chosen one was not really exposed until Iluna fully awakened. But this time, he really felt that the chosen one affected the whole world.
It seems that the cold water port city is undercurrent due to the Sea Return Ceremony. In fact, it is because of the unexpected appearance of the chosen one, making this seaport city the center of attention of the ring magicians in the material world.
The third news is still related to murlocs and cults. The fishbone pirate ship appeared again offshore of Coldwater Port earlier today and robbed a large steam freighter that departed from Coldwater Port and headed for the New World.
Including the crew, sailors and some passengers who took the freighter to the New World, all 123 people on the ship disappeared, but pets such as cats, dogs and parrots were safe. When the church's fleet arrived, only the empty ship was left parked on the sea. Because the incident occurred early in the morning, the bread in the restaurant that had only been bitten was still warm.
The first step in the sea return ritual, the spread of the Mermaid's Song curse, was completely successful because of the greedy warehouse dispatcher. The second step is for the Evil God's descendant "Fishbone Pirate Ship" to spread fear in the local area. When moving offshore, it leaves a beacon with the Evil God's power in the offshore area surrounding the Coldwater Port.
Although they suffered a defeat due to Shade, as long as they did not encounter Shade, this ship had almost no opponents in the offshore.
"According to the current progress, the church estimates that the third step of the sea return ceremony will begin around next Wednesday. When the red ocean appears, the people who bear the mermaid curse will step into the ocean. When they disappear into the deep sea, sweeping The coming huge waves will flood the city."
Next Wednesday happens to be the "week" predicted by Luvia, and her prediction of paying a price is indeed accurate.
Lecia read the last part of the letter, then put down what she was holding and looked at Shade. Her Royal Highness the Princess frowned, looking very worried:
"The relic [Fishbone Pirate Ship] is something that cannot be completely destroyed, so the church will not waste time on it, but focus on stopping this conspiracy on land in Cold Water Port. Next Wednesday, I hope you can By my side."
"Of course no problem."
Xia De said, holding his hands together and looking at the girl in front of him. It wasn't until Lesia turned her head embarrassedly and looked at the evening scenery outside the window that Shade sighed:
"The other nine ring warlocks who are on the same boat with us would also like to ask for your help to continue to find their whereabouts, especially Mr. Darkness. If they really can't be found, maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday, I will go there Try your luck in the red water at the beach."
"You've been really busy this week. Have you got the 15 credits?"
The princess asked again, which made Shade sigh again:
"No, the mercury vial in my hand is worth about 5 credits. The old priest in our group promised to take me to learn more tomorrow. Also, a good friend of mine will return to Tobesk tomorrow, and she will probably also It can help me, but I don’t know if 15 points will be enough before Saturday.”
"If you really need it, just ask me for help."
She was still looking out the window sideways, and Shade noticed that the princess’s earlobes were a little red:
"I don't have anything else, and I have a lot of pocket money. If I really lack credits, I can lend you money, and you can buy some relics and give them to the college. We are friends."
Xia De suddenly discovered that Lesia’s profile was so similar to Miss Carina’s profile.
The two discussed the difference between cultists operating inland and those in seaport cities. Seeing that the rain outside had stopped, Lesia led Shade around the garden before dinner. And introduce him to the ancestors of the Cavendish family who left their mark on this mansion.
Thirteen years ago, the current king added a statue of a knight spraying water to the garden of the mansion. When Miss Carina was a child, she asked for a swing in the garden of the mansion.
Everywhere was wet, so Lecia didn’t try the swing. She just talked about her childhood memories and missed those carefree days.
The sun has already set, otherwise Lesia would have even tried to take Shad to hunt in the royal forest outside the mansion, or go fishing on the coastal beach. The heroic princess likes fairy tales, but she also likes hunting. This reminded Shade of a very famous story, but when he wanted to tell it, he was stopped by Lesia. The red-haired girl shook her head and said seriously:
"Oh, Shade, I think you should stop telling stories easily. At least don't tell me any stories until the incident in the Shadow of Coldwater Harbor is over"
She also laughed, turned her back to Shade, put her hands behind her back, turned her face slightly, and stood in the garden facing the sunset:
"But to be honest, I really liked the story of 'Heart of the Ocean' you told me on the boat."
