The Whispering Verses Chapter 834: Xia De and Red Butterfly
Chapter 831 Xia De and Hongdie
Shad did not ask how much power Grace and Helen still had, but happily told them that the red butterfly pendant really helped his two friends.
He explained the current status of Lecia and Dorothy in more detail, describing the scene when the two girls met that night, and then mentioned that their souls were already partially merging.
But even the Red Butterfly Twins can’t do anything about it:
"Sir, if the great one we believe in has not left, your friends should be able to become the favored ones of God. This is a true two-in-one body. My sister and I have not been able to achieve this in our souls for so many years. A harmonious blend."
Helen said with some regret.
The twin girls have experienced a complete time from the fifth era to the sixth era. Even though their power is no longer there, their knowledge and experience are still very valuable assets. But it is a pity that the change of era also caused them to lose part of their memory, and the price of [Sleeping Princess] was to seal the few remaining memories about the change of era.
But except for those memories related to the hidden history, their knowledge has not completely disappeared. Shade can ask them about relics, antiques and even the customs and customs of the Fifth Age. This can be regarded as the greatest help they can provide to Shade at present.
"Sir, are you leaving soon?"
While talking and listening to the sound of rain, Grace suddenly asked.
Xia De thought for a while and nodded:
"Yes, I plan to see Sister Devlin in the afternoon, and I have asked my mother-in-law to deliver the letter. In the evening, I will visit Miss Aurora. The matter of the chosen one is over, and she will probably leave Midhill soon. Fort."
Grace hesitated for a moment, first glanced at her sister, and then whispered:
"Can you stay here with us for a while?"
"Of course, Mother-in-law Cassandra also said that we would have dinner together at noon. And it is raining now, and I have nowhere else to go. Speaking of which, do you know that it also rained all day in Tobesk yesterday? , It’s really late autumn, I can almost feel the chill of early winter.”
Xia De said with a smile.
Grace bit her lip, and Helen, who knew what her sister was thinking, said:
"Sister, I want to say, can you stay here to talk to us today? Maybe it will be fine until very late."
Xia De was stunned and shook his head apologetically:
"Girls, I still have a lot of things to deal with. Moreover, although Tobesk is thousands of miles away from here, it is only more than an hour of mountain road for me. In the future, we will have a lot of I will have time to chat, and when you recover, I can even invite you to my home. But now, what you need to do is take a good rest."
"Sir, we mean."
Helen looked at her sister at a loss, and Grace, who was wearing white pajamas, continued:
"You have done so much for us, but from the last century to now, we have been unable to repay you."
"I never wanted you to repay me from the beginning."
Xia De emphasized again and stood up at the same time:
"I'm going to talk to Granny Cassandra about the Witch Council. The witches should be very happy. See you at lunch, girls. Don't worry, I'll leave after lunch."
"Sir, wait a minute!"
Helen struggled to reach out to the other bed, and finally held Grace's hand together. Densely packed red butterflies flew out of nowhere, blocking Shade's sight like a curtain.
After the butterflies disappeared, only the left one of the two four-poster beds was occupied. It was a blue-eyed black-haired girl in her twenties. Her white pajamas were decorated with black butterfly embroidery patterns. Since Helen and Grace look almost identical, this is what they will look like when they grow up:
"Do you want to leave now?"
The girl asked Shade with a blushing face. Shade thought for a moment, walked to the bed, and helped her cover the quilt with the latter's shy and frightened expression:
"If you like "Hamilton's Detective Stories" very much, this Wednesday, the 30th of the Dead Leaf Moon, the novel will be released. I will come to see you on Wednesday with a new book signed by the author. ”
He tucked the **** the bed into bed:
"See you later at lunch."
Although the **** the bed was a little disappointed, she still said:
"Well, sir, I'll see you later. Next time, can you talk to me about the story of you and another pair of twins? The story of the three of you should be interesting, right?"
"Of course."
Shad nodded, and while the latter smiled, he turned and walked out of the room.
[Are you really not understanding what they mean, or are you pretending not to understand? 】
"Her" voice appeared amidst the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.
"How could you not understand?"
Shad replied in his heart and followed the maid at the door to meet Granny Cassandra again:
"But they are different from Lecia and Dorothy. In my eyes, they have always been little girls at cocktail parties. I don't have much common experience or emotional basis with them. They probably also respect me. And thank you more. Lecia and Dorothy have experienced many stories with me, and they understand what they want. Besides, with their current bodies, do you think I am a scumbag?"
"She" is chuckling:
[So, although even the records of the Sin Mansion consider you guilty of adultery, at least you are very principled and adulterous? 】
"If you could remove the modifier and leave only 'very principled', I would probably be happier."
[So, what if you have more stories in the future? 】
"That will happen later."
Xia De said with a smile in his heart, and followed the maid away along the corridor.
After so much, this is a good ending for Grace and Helen. After a hundred years, if Shade did not die but successfully completed the path of sublimation of the Twelve Divinities, he would be willing to help them truly break free from the shackles of fate. Of course, as he said, that's all for the future.
There are still many things to do in Fort Midhill today. After meeting Granny Cassandra again, Shade talked with her about the physical conditions of Helen and Grace, and then talked about Dev. Sister Lin.
[Witch Council] To cooperate with the dead chosen one, the speaker of the council, the thirteenth-level witch, went to talk to Sister Devlin. The specific negotiations ended over the weekend. Although Granny Cassandra did not know the details, she also knew that the [Spiritual Order] and the [Witch Council] would become even closer in the future.
I don’t know what kind of conditions the thirteen-ringed witch gave, but she actually succeeded in convincing Sister Devlin to stand on the side of the [Witch Council] in "The Whispering Psalm". In other words, even if there is a conflict between the Parliament and the Orthodox Church over the issue of the chosen ones in the future, Sister Devlin will help the Parliament.
Lunch was delivered by "Gaudis Restaurant", a high-end restaurant in Middleburg opposite Cassandra Auction House. There is a restaurant on the third floor of the auction house. Sitting around the table were Shade, Cassandra's mother-in-law, and Gray. Si and Helen, while Miss Swift, the witch's apprentice, acted as a servant. She was not unhappy, but felt that this was a sign that Granny Cassandra trusted her more.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, and when the last dessert of caramelized yam was served, the old witch asked her apprentice to bring a brass box. The six sides of the box were decorated with symbols representing burning and stabbing. There are six punishment patterns: tongue pulling, drowning, burial alive, and castration.
After the box was opened, there was an extremely beautiful silver cross pendant lying on the red velvet lining. The cross itself and the chain are both silver. On the cross is a coiled snake, the head of which is dotted with a ruby that seems to be glowing.
The end of the long end of the cross is an extremely sharp cone, with some black traces similar to blood traces on it. After Xia De blinked, he confirmed that it was blood:
"Relic?"
"Yes."
The old witch nodded and asked Miss Swift to put the box in front of Shade:
"The Keeper-level relic [Profane Cross], legend has it that it once pierced the chest of a saint. The relic's properties, holding it and piercing the chest of any extraordinary humanoid creature, can absorb and imprison the opponent's soul. , allowing the user holding the cross to absorb the soul into his own body, forming a special blasphemous spirit rune with the other party's soul as the core."
The old witch closed her eyes and drew what was probably the holy symbol of the ancient **** [Chaos Witch] on her chest:
"Once you do this, you can never go back. It means the corruption of the soul and may even attract those evil spirits and demons. In fact, this so-called positive characteristic is actually a negative characteristic. In addition, long-term Time hangs it around one's neck, and one's own blasphemous element must be out of control, whether it is the thirteenth ring or the first ring, this effect cannot be exempted in any way."
"Is this for me?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"Yes, you once said that you are looking for a relic that can absorb energy, spirit and other entities or non-entities, and pass it on to the user. Originally, I wanted to give it directly to the Zhengshen Church, because it was too It’s dangerous. But I think it’s just right.”
Shad carefully took the cross out of the box, and the originally weak whispering elements immediately became stronger. It seemed that the box itself was a containment measure. This cross pendant, which is like a work of art, seems to be made of pure silver. On the reverse side of the side where the head of the coiled snake is, there is a line of carvings on the cross:
[God’s Word: The wise are fearless. 】
"Sir, just take it as a thank you for helping us."
Grace said, Helen also added:
"Yes, sir. Since you didn't accept our special reward just now, just take this. This is a small reward."
Grandma Cassandra showed a kind smile:
"Did he refuse? Teachers, that's a pity, but that's what makes a knight, isn't it?"
Miss Rita Swift, who was holding the red wine bottle, was suspicious at first, then looked at Shade in shock, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
