The Whispering Verses Chapter 416: The restaurant outside the banquet

After two months in this world, Shade has become accustomed to a cat suddenly jumping out from next to his pillow every time he wakes up. Or jump on his chest, meowing for food, or rub his face and the back of his hands with his furry face.

Therefore, when Shade woke up from under the unfamiliar ceiling and did not hear the familiar cry of little Mia, he was inexplicably a little disappointed.

"I haven't seen little Mia for more than 24 hours."

Thinking of this, Shade felt even more lost.

It was eight o'clock on Wednesday night, and Shade, who had slept for twelve hours, felt that he was in good condition. There seemed to be a party going on in the distance, and he heard the sound of the organ.

After slowly getting up from the bed, he first found that he was wearing a set of pajamas that he had never seen before, and then found that there was no one in the bedroom, but his original clothes and belongings were all on the bedside table. Leave it alone. I glanced at it, but the only thing missing was the witch's golden ring.

"Huh? Who changed my clothes?"

This is a room that Shade has never been to. The room is about the same size as the living room and dining room of Shade's room 1 on the second floor. There is a double-door solid wood wardrobe in the corner, facing the wall of the four-poster bed with curtains, and a desk with bookshelves filled with books.

A painting of the Coldwater Port dock hangs above the bed, and the floor where the bed is located is actually a step higher than the floor of the carpeted room, and the bed seems to be a double bed.

There is a piano under the wall near the door. The mermaid-shaped gas lamp above the piano is turned off, just like the gas lamp on the bedside and the gas lamp above the desk.

"The gas lamps in Aurora Manor are all in the image of mermaids. This is actually a hint. I should have thought that the witch can call mermaids."

But the room was not dark because the curtains were not closed tightly at this time. Through that window, the three-color moonlight window shone into the room, shining on the quilt on Shade's body, shining on his hands and his face.

Bathing in the moonlight and breathing in the indoor air, Shade was in a good mood. After all, he saved Lesia, got a drop of divinity without paying any price, and all his goals in Coldwater Port were accomplished.

"Today's moon phase, is the silver moon brighter?"

Thinking in his mind, he prepared to find slippers and get out of bed. But then I saw a drawstring on the top of the bedside table, so I pulled it gently.

Of course he can't hear the sound, but there will definitely be corresponding bells ringing in the servants' rooms. People running will tell Miss Aurora that Shade has awakened, and the witch who doesn't know what she is doing will come soon. Meet Shad.

The pipelines inside the wall include not only gas lamps and steam pipes, but also bell wires that can call servants in any room. They have appeared in large numbers in the manors and mansions of nobles since before the steam age.

From this perspective, the steam age has not actually changed all people’s habits.

From the mermaid-shaped gas lamp on the wall, Shade guessed that this was not Sophia's mansion, but the witch's manor. When he changed his clothes and saw the witch waiting for him in the brightly lit restaurant of the mansion, he was even more convinced of this idea.

"You woke up too late, Lesia Cavendish. She just left Coldwater Harbor on a steam train an hour ago."

The beautiful curly long brown hair hangs down behind her head without any binding. The witch changed into a dress that Shade had never seen before and seemed to be in a good mood, but Shade didn't think she had caught Darkness.

"Already gone? I thought Lecia was also attending the banquet in your manor. When the maid led me over just now, I saw it was really lively outside."

Xia De asked in surprise, sitting on the left side of the main seat of the long dining table.

"The banquet outside, the bad luck is over, people want to liven it up again, and I happened to be in a good mood, so I held another abnormal banquet. It's always deserted here, but it's good to liven it up occasionally."

The witch held her head with her hands and looked at Shade:

"The princess originally left on Friday evening, otherwise she would not have come to my banquet on Tuesday night. But His Majesty the King pressed hard, and something serious happened in Tobesk. Otherwise, she At least I'll leave after you wake up."

The witch said, for some reason, Shade actually felt that her attitude towards him was much better.

"Did Lesia leave me a message?"

Xia De asked again.

"No, she couldn't believe me and was worried that I would read the letter. Hamilton, I thought you would be very disappointed, but the princess ignored you and left."

Sivi Avora smiled and said:

"But aren't you curious about what happened to Tobesk? I bet, including everyone at the lively banquet outside, there are no more than five people who know the news now."

She looked at Shade's face carefully. Although the two had a long conversation more than ten hours ago, the witch didn't pay much attention to Shade's appearance that time. When we met in a brightly lit restaurant and looked at the young detective carefully, even the witch admitted that Shade Suellen Hamilton was the kind of young man who could attract girls.

"Tobesk, the real culprit behind the murder of Queen Diana has been found."

Xia De made a random guess, but this was in an affirmative sentence.

"How did you guess it?"

The witch asked with great interest. She chose to meet in the restaurant because the servants were here and prepared dinner for Shade. Miss Aurora knew that Shade didn't like banquets that had nothing to do with him.

Now that the dining cart has arrived, Shade took a look and felt that he was not hungry:

"It is related to members of the royal family, and Lesia must be involved, and it should be related to major events in recent weeks, because there was no clue before. Thinking about it this way, the only possibility is that the murderer of Queen Diana has been found, and He should also be a member of the royal family. Larus III will not tell the people about this, but I think he would like to give the murderer a proper sentence when all his children are present."

He took the napkin handed by the maid, thanked her softly and looked at Miss Aurora:

"Did I guess it right?"

"Partly correct. It was your boss, Mr. Dark Anlos, who found the murderer. He claimed to be on a business trip to the south, but in fact he had been organizing operations in Tobesk. Then"

The witch smiled and shook her head:

"When I received the news, I felt like I was reading a palace novel. Lesia Cavendish's brother, Prince Sachs, who was seventh in the line of succession, led people with guns and rushed into the Yodel Palace , and then was pushed to the ground like a fat pig by the guards in front of the king and queen. I don’t know what Carina thought of this matter.”

Shad noticed that the servants were also preparing plates and napkins for her, and the witch wanted to eat with Shad.

"Aren't you going to the party outside?"

He asked curiously. From here, you can also hear the melodious dance music and the hum of people talking.

"What's so interesting about the party? If it were all pretty girls, I might be a little interested."

She elegantly dipped her hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then signaled to Shade that he did not need to imitate her and could do whatever he wanted.

"But, the prince broke into the Yodel Palace with a gun?"

Although Xia De was surprised, he smiled on his face, and outsiders felt that this was like a novel:

"Are there still such fools now?"

"We must admit that not everyone is as smart as we are."

The smile on Miss Aurora’s face remains unchanged:

"That's why your princess rushed back in a hurry, otherwise I bet she would"

"She and I are just friends."

Shad emphasized, not wanting to damage Lesia's reputation.

"You don't have to tell me this, you have to defend it to your Miss Carina."

She pointed to the badge that had been hung around Shade's neck again. Shade smiled awkwardly:

"Carina and I"

"You have to defend this to Princess Lesia, not to me."

The witch smiled even happier now.

When the witches are not hostile to Shade, they will always show this joke-loving trait.

The meals were placed on the table one after another, which was no worse than the banquet outside.

The gold and silver utensils sparkled under the candles, and the local delicacies looked delicious. The appetizer before the official meal was ?h snails. Although they sounded scary, they looked very appetizing.

This is to boil the meat of specially raised high-quality snails in water, fry the garlic, spices, and onions in butter, then stuff them into the snail shells, seal them with butter, put them in a special plate, and use them in the oven. Only when it is cooked can it appear on the table.

Shad was not very good at eating such "high-end" food. Miss Aurora smiled and showed him how to use the professional tableware.

"So, has Darkness been found?"

He finally asked the question.

"No. When I entered the wine cellar, the passage you ran out of had collapsed. I chased the guy who lived with the devil all the way into the sea, and even met the Godcaller in the fishman's temple. , it’s a pity that he is unwilling to help me, probably because he is looking for a way to heal himself.”

The answer given by the witch was completely as expected. She shook her head regretfully, stretched her hand back, and the servant immediately handed over a new napkin. Miss Aurora touched the chest of the young maid behind her while taking the napkin in front of Shade.

This is very exciting for Shade, who is in the "uncontrollable desire period" for a month.

"Did you recheck that collapsed passage? I thought you knew it was there."

When Shade spoke, his eyes looked at the blushing maid, he was testing.

"I didn't know it originally, but when you were asleep, I re-entered the wine cellar to check. After opening the passage, I first found an empty dark room, and then found you along the way and used weapons to chop and widen it. The gap. Probably, that passage was a secret passage for the fish people to transport and store goods a long time ago."

The witch said, Shade nodded, knowing that [Desire] had left. And thinking of [Desire]'s face, he felt that his uncontrollable desire became even stronger.
