The Whispering Verses Chapter 660: The reappearance of the star whale
Chapter 660: The Star Whale Reappears
The old witch sitting on the sofa nodded slowly to Shade:
"Yes, there is indeed a witch in Willendale City. I can't tell you which one it is. Have you heard of the rumor? Well, I will talk to her next week and ask her to keep a low profile recently. ”
Xia De nodded and said nothing more. He is just curious about what direction the civilization of this steam age will take after the two major human kingdoms in the material world have obtained part of the theoretical data and models of the "Difference Engine".
During the entire day, Shade did not leave Fort Midhill. After lunch, he went to the Home for the Blind and the black market at the station to gather information. I haven't heard any valuable information, but I have heard that after the earthquake, Mount Sikal became dangerous at night.
The ring warlocks living in this city already know that the evil spirits here are becoming more powerful. As for the Zhengshen Church, they have frequently been in and out of the mountains and forests recently, so it seems that the large-scale ceremony is about to begin.
After returning home in the evening, I solemnly put away the 200 crowns, and then went to find Dorothy and asked her to tell Lesia that the suitcase had been delivered to where it should go. As for the 1,000 pounds promised by the southern princess, Shade was not in a hurry to pick it up at the address on the note. This is partly because the information should not reach Tobesk so quickly, and partly because the grey-headed eagle still needs to be more reserved.
He planned to get it in a few weeks if he ran out of money.
Afterwards, Shade wrote another letter to Miss Carina, wanting to talk to her about the witch in Willendale City, the capital of the Southern Kingdom. .
He is not very familiar with Granny Cassandra yet, but he already trusts Miss Carina quite a bit. The princess of Kasonlik actually has the power of a witch, and Miss Carina must know this no matter what.
And that night, Luvia, who was stargazing in Saint Teresa Square, unexpectedly broke into Shade's bedroom again at one o'clock in the middle of the night.
Little Mia, who had already experienced it once, immediately got into the quilt. This time, she would not be thrown into the closet by Shade again.
"Oh, Shade, wake up and see what I found?"
The girl with purple eyes held a hand-drawn star map and a black and white photo, standing beside Shade's bed and trying to wake him up.
Mia poked her head out of the quilt and looked at the shaking photo curiously, while the sleepy Shade yawned and got up from the comfortable bed:
"Oh, Luvia, do you know it's one o'clock in the morning?"
But he still turned on the gas table lamp beside the bed and took the hand-drawn star map and the photo of the star map:
"I see. Your hand drawing is very accurate? Yes, it's really good."
"No, it's a sign, the big guy is coming from the stars!"
Luvia seemed particularly excited, and this statement suddenly made Shade completely awake. He looked up in horror:
"The affairs of Fort Midhill have not been resolved yet. What is coming from the stars this time? An unspeakable evil? An evil **** preparing to descend? Or is it an ancient being existing in the void? ?"
"No, no, it's the Star Sea Whale!"
Luvia is extremely excited, and now only the bedside gas lamp is turned on in the bedroom. She stands in the shadow by the window, her purple eyes seeming to really shine:
"As you mentioned to me, didn't you drink the blood brew of this creature?"
Xia De, who was still a little confused, thought for a moment:
"Yes, Miss Carina said that due to excessive hunting by the Witch Emperors of the Fifth Age, the starry sky creatures have come to the material world once every 300 years to only appear in the material world every 1,200 years or so. And it used to appear alone, but now it appears in groups. The last time it appeared was" (Chapter 569)
Because he was suddenly woken up, Xia De's memory was a little blurry.
[The universal calendar is more than six hundred years old. 】
She smiled and whispered in Shade's ear.
"The universal calendar is more than six hundred years old."
He yawned and pulled the cat out of the quilt. He usually does not allow this cat to enter the quilt. Although Mia hardly sheds hair and has no peculiar smell, he still thinks that it is best not for pet cats to enter the quilt.
"Yes, six hundred years after 1200, isn't it now? It's 1853!"
Luvia pointed upward excitedly:
"Through observation, I am almost certain that the Star Sea Whale will definitely appear in the night sky of the material world before the end of this autumn! There must be a best observation location, oh, I want to seize this once in 1,200 years Opportunity! ”
"Does the college know about this?"
Shadow said, resisting the urge to yawn again.
"The astrological equipment of the college is better, and the night sky in the far north is much clearer than the night sky in the city. Yes, the college should be able to observe this sign tonight! Stargazing activities this fall may be... Observing whales in the sea of stars is a high-scoring exam content! ”
She bent down and hugged Shade's head, kissed him, and said quickly:
"I must get high scores so that I can take Professor Scarlanci's "The Starry Sky and Another Me" next spring!"
After saying that, the purple-eyed girl turned around and left the bedroom, and heard the voice return to the third floor. Shade was left sitting on the bed holding the cat, one person and one cat looking at each other.
"What just happened?"
He asked Mia.
"Meow~"
The soft cat in his arms rubbed Shade's pajamas, then squinted his eyes as if he fell asleep again.
(Little Mia is running.)
"Why do you look like you haven't woken up?"
On Thursday morning, Miss Carina, who was sitting on the sofa, asked Shade teasingly. Shade shook his head:
"I had a weird dream. I was running on the sea and was chased by a huge killer whale."
"And you killed the whale?"
"No, it was the even bigger little Mia who suddenly jumped out of the sun, and then took the whale out of the sea in one mouthful."
Laughter suddenly came from the side. Shade and Miss Carina both looked aside and found that it was the young maid who brought the tea cup who accidentally laughed.
This maid's name is Vera Torian, one of Miss Carina's personal maids. Shade has met her many times.
"Control your emotions and don't embarrass me outside."
Miss Carina said, and then Tifa took the young maid who accidentally laughed to the kitchen to lecture her.
"I'm a little too good to them, so these girls do sometimes have some unruliness."
The red-haired witch said to Shade, then picked up the teacup:
"But when you wrote to me, you probably didn't want to meet my personal maids, right?"
"Of course not, that's the case. I met a sorceress with the power of a witch in Fort Midhill, but she was not Cassandra's mother-in-law, but the princess of Kassenric."
"Oh? Are you sure that the princess of Kasenlik appeared at Midhill Castle?"
Miss Carina is concerned about this.
"She was still at Fort Midhill yesterday morning. I think no matter how fast she is, she won't be able to return to Willondale, the capital, right away today. I just need to do a little research on this."
"This is very interesting. She actually developed the princess of Kasenlik into her follower."
Miss Carina smiled, she was not as surprised as Shade yesterday.
"So, there really is a great witch in Willendale City?"
"Yes, there is indeed one. I won't say which one it is."
"So, there is actually a ring warlock in the Kasenrik royal family?"
"Of course. Since you know Lesia, you should know that the Delarian royal family, our Cavendish family, is connected to the Zarath Academy of Literature, so it will send talented members of the family to Go to the academy to study. So as a human kingdom parallel to Delrayon, does the royal family really have no connection with the mysterious world? Even if it is not to compete with Delrayon, the Anjou family still has to be afraid of the five gods. Church."
"Which college is the Anjou family connected to? St. Byrons where I studied? Or the Higher School of Medicine of Circassus, which specializes in potions and alchemy?"
"It's the latter. But I'm not sure that the princess you met was actually trained by the witch, but by Serksese. This is very interesting, and I think it is necessary to investigate. ”
Miss Carina narrowed her eyes, wondering what else she had in mind. Although the southern princess is a follower of another big witch in the parliament, Miss Carina doesn't mind taking advantage of these things to gain some benefits for herself. After all, her fiefdom, Saladir County, is located in the southwest of the kingdom and has a border with the United Kingdom of Kasenlik.
"The royal family of Delarion is related to Zarath Literary Academy, and the royal family of Kassenric is related to Serkses?"
Xia De is still thinking about this matter.
"Yes, although the three major thaumaturgy academies are on the edge of human civilization, they also have their own industries in civilized society, and there are considerations in this regard when they are related to the royal family."
"But in this era, there are only two largest human kingdoms. Zaras and Serkses are each connected to one, so what about St. Byrons?"
"St. Byrons don't need it because they are very powerful in their own right."
"Why?"
“Because St. Byrons is proficient in containing relics.”
Miss Carina simply said:
"The top witches of the fifth era can compete with level 0 relics themselves, and can even chat and laugh with saints, but the thirteen-ring warlocks of the sixth era cannot. This is the reason."
Miss Carina had other things to do today, so she chatted with Shade for a few words and then left.
Shad also had something to do, so he left Mia to look after the house. After preparing lunch for him, he set off for Fort Midhill.
Today is Thursday. After the murder case at Fort Midhill Mechanical College was solved last week, the captain invited Shade to take advantage of his day off to meet him at the windy trail camp so that old friends could interact with each other. Chat, or go hunting together.
Of course, if there is no fog in Sikal Mountain in the afternoon, Shade plans to look for the witcher's sword.
So, after walking out of the ruined tower and entering the mountain road through the forest, Shade did not choose to head towards the city of Mibao at the bottom of the mountain. Instead, he continued up the mountain along the mountain road.
The Wind Rises Trail is one of the most important passages for hiking across the national border of the Sikal Mountains, and the Red Water Camp where Captain Rades is located is the largest military camp next to the Wind Rises Trail.
