The Whispering Verses Chapter 467: Wish Coin
Because the matter at hand was temporarily settled, Shade planned to officially start solving the last two commissions left by Detective Sparrow starting from this afternoon.
But he had just returned to Saint Teresa Square from the Church of the Dawn, and when he wanted to take out the entrustment agreement before going out, the badge on his chest actually started to feel hot.
It was Miss Carina who came to visit.
Of course the Duchess did not go into the city to do business and then stop by to see Shade. Nearly two weeks after Darkness fled the cold water port, the Witch Council finally discovered his traces relying on that boot.
"Now Ivan Darkness is here, in Wellwood City, Charing County. The council's personnel nearby found him last night. Although he escaped again, it at least means that we have found his traces."
Miss Carina used her finger painted with red nail polish to point out the location on the map of the Old World that was in Shade's house. The large, exaggerated map was now unfolded and spread out in the open space in the living room of Room 2 on the second floor. Tifa squatted down and carefully circled the city of Wildwood with a pencil.
Mia stood proudly on top of the map, not knowing what she wanted to express. Shade stood next to the black-haired maid, bending down to look at the map.
The location of Wildwood City has crossed the midpoint between Coldwater Port City and Tobesk City, southwest of Tobesk City.
His eyes scanned the map, and he accidentally looked at the squatting maid, and then saw a scene that made him blush. The brunette maid has a really nice figure, which is even more obvious when she squats down.
The flesh and blood of desire was still affecting him, and Shade tried very hard to look away.
"But how come you have such a high-precision map of the kingdom at home? This can almost be regarded as a military map. Look, there is no printed publication number on the map. Strictly speaking, this should be considered contraband."
Miss Carina asked sitting on a chair nearby. There was no furniture in Room 2. When Shade was taking the map just now, the Duchess's servants moved a few chairs from the dining room in Room 1.
The map was of course left behind by the former detective. As for what Sparrow Hamilton wanted to do, that was beyond the imagination of loyal MI6 agent Shad Hamilton.
He confused the question and then asked:
"So besides the Council, the church didn't discover Darkness?"
"The battle in Wildwood City will attract the attention of the church. Because the incident happened in a hurry and there was no time to cover up the traces, the church should be able to quickly connect this matter to Darkness."
Miss Carina also stood up and came to the other side of Tifa, and like Shade just now, her eyes were immediately attracted by the figure of the squatting maid:
"The scenery is nice."
She raised her head and said to Shade with a smile. The maid was unmoved, and Shade was unwilling to discuss this topic.
"Judging from the action trajectory, Darkness is heading towards the area around Tobesk."
Shad continued to bring the topic back to the chosen one, and the black-haired maid also used a pencil to gently connect Darkness's route.
If he does not plan to turn around next, but continues on his current trajectory, then the probability of appearing around Tobesk is very high. Even if you don’t enter the city, you may still stop in a rural town.
"Yes, the Council also believes that his target may be Tobesk. That's why I'm here to tell you about this so that you can be prepared."
"What should I guard against?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"Be prepared for him to come to Tobesk to take revenge on you."
"What? Take revenge on me?"
Xia De was even more surprised.
"Yes, the council's manpower in Wildwood City reported that Darkness's injuries were not healed at that time. And judging from the description of the injuries, it does not seem like the injuries were caused by Xiwei. It was caused by you using alchemy items. The traces left by the sun gun."
Miss Carina said, looking at Shade with emotion:
"Although you used alchemy items, you did something that even Xiwei couldn't do. Shade, you did a great job."
"But Darkness didn't see me at that time."
Shad is sure of this.
"Maybe? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he did not escape to the edge of the civilized world, but instead headed towards Tobesk."
The witch also bent down and stretched out her fingers, asking Tifa to circle Tobesk:
"In short, the area around Tobesk may be the place where Darkness appears next. In addition to the Council, other ring warlock organizations that are tracking Darkness will also find his traces sooner or later. After all, he Only one person, even if there is a demon in him, cannot become a master of concealment."
"Is Tobesk going to be in chaos again?"
Xia De asked, Miss Carina shrugged:
"It's hard to say. Maybe the opponent of the council this time deliberately led us in the wrong direction. After leaving Wildwood City, he immediately went south and smuggled to Kasenlik."
Shad did not comment on this, but discussed the situation caused by the second chosen candidate with Miss Carina.
The power shown by Iluna on the night of God's descent made people initially aware of the power of the chosen ones, and the new stone slab of "Mumbling Psalms" discovered in the New World drew people's attention to Coldwater Port, and then Coldwater In the major events in Hong Kong, fish-men, evil gods, god-callers and chosen ones take turns to appear. And once Darkness's next destination is confirmed, there will probably be more Ringman organizations trying to get in touch with "The Whispering Psalm" and believing that the chosen one will affect the situation in the material world.
"Speaking of which, are you looking for monetary relics?"
The discussion lasted for two hours, and Shade also learned about more trouble caused by Darkness. When Tifa went to find the other maids waiting in Room 1 to help put away the large map, the witch suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Shad and the two witches both mentioned this matter.
"This is for you."
Miss Carina bounced a coin, and Shade caught it in a hurry.
When your finger touches the coin, you immediately get the prompt of contact whisper. The cold coin was about the same size as a one-shilling alloy silver coin. It had a thorn border on the front and the number 1 written on it, and the number 309 on the lower end. These numbers are symbolic numbers, symbols that have been used since ancient times.
The reverse side has the ancient rune "Wish", and the edges are also thorns.
The side of the coin is engraved with a circle of letters using very fine techniques:
[Unsatisfied wishes are the greatest enemy of intelligent beings. 】
"Clerical relic [wishing coin], draw a five-pointed star on the flat ground, place five candles of different lengths at the top of the five-pointed star, and place the coin in the center of the five-pointed star, and you can make a wish wish."
The witch introduced them, and the two returned to the sofa in Room 1 to continue talking. The servants helped clear away the chairs and maps.
"I think there must be something wrong with the realization of the wish?"
Xia De said while checking the coins.
"Yes, it will indeed fulfill some of your wishes, but it will always come true in a strange way. This is very similar to those scenes in the story that warn us not to be greedy."
The witch said, wagging her fingers, not knowing what she meant:
"However, although there may be problems with the method, the purpose of wishing can be achieved. Therefore, some ring wizards are willing to try to use this relic to make wishes, treating it as a wish-making method that has both positive and negative effects. The smaller the The more likely it is that a wish will happen in the way the wisher wishes, the larger the wish, the more unexpected the way it will be realized. ”
"Oh, this is really good stuff."
Xia De praised.
"It's true. Similar to most currency-style relics, [Wish Coins] do not exist alone. But what is unique is that all 666 [Wish Coins] can disappear even after the wish is successful. Reappear within a period of decades to hundreds of years. For example, if your coin is No. 309, no matter how you plan to use it, people in the future can still see it. After all, these coins are greedy and greedy. The embodiment of desire and hope, they cannot disappear."
"So what do I need to pay to get this from you?"
Shad looked away from the coin, raised his head and asked:
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
Miss Carina thought for a moment, then smiled:
"Is there anything going on tonight?"
"Of course it's okay."
He thought Miss Carina would arrange some tasks.
"Then come and have dinner with me tonight. Oh, and after dinner, we can go to the opera together."
As he spoke, he looked back at his maid, and Miss Servit nodded immediately:
"I will prepare the tickets for the box."
"Eating and watching the opera...is that just it?"
Xia De hesitated.
"Of course, nothing happened in Tobesk recently, and there is nothing I need you to do."
She looked at Shade with a smile, expecting his answer.
"Can I take Mia with me?"
Shad asked again, and the cat whose name was mentioned immediately looked up at him.
"Of course."
"That's good, I think it's okay."
Although this behavior gave him the illusion that he was relying on the talents of women, he now needed the special coin. When you don't want to spend the remaining one blood money per person, it is really good to use the extra coins for divination.
"However, this does not count as payment. I took the coins, and I will also participate in the evening activities, but this is considered a debt that I owe you, and I will pay you back in the future."
Xia De emphasized.
"For a man's self-esteem?"
The witch asked with a smile, and did not reject Sha De's statement:
"What a pity, little Lesia will not return to Tobesk until tomorrow, otherwise I really want her to see what you look like now."
Xia De ignored this sentence, otherwise the witch would definitely say something even more outrageous... maybe she would change the invitation time to tomorrow night.
