Whispering Poems

Chapter 1186 Mithril
After reading the note, Xia De blinked and muttered:
"Something fancy."

Then hold the silver cube:

"Collect stories to open it to get the so-called gift. The invisible abandoned church on Cherry Leaf Avenue."

The cube, which had not yet been warmed by Xia De's palm, immediately began to feel hot.Xia De's palm was keenly aware of one side of the cube, and there were bumps.Opening his palm, he saw densely packed letters appearing on one of the six faces.

"Isn't it okay to just leave me a note?"

The letters were so small that it was difficult for Shad to decipher complete sentences even if he looked closely.Fortunately, "she" was still there. After Xia De's fingertips rubbed against the metal block, "she" repeated the above sentence:
[Church of the Forgotten——

Between No. 11 and No. 12 of Cherry Leaf Avenue, there is an abandoned church that cannot be observed under normal conditions.The church belonged to the old god "Old Man Forgotten". After the god left in the Fifth Era, the church was supported by mortal believers, and eventually completely fell into disrepair.It is very simple to observe the church. Put the middle finger and index finger, ring finger and little finger of any hand together, look at the wall between No. 11 and No. 12 from the gap between the fingers together, and pray softly - praise the departed gods , the world is with you and me! 】

"So simple?"

Xia De thought in his heart, and then tried his best to recall the old god "Forgotten Old Man".But no matter how he recalled, he didn't seem to have heard the name of this god through any means.

Looking down at the silver cube in his hand, the small letters on the surface of the cube have disappeared, so Xia De tried to say:

"The only time key to [Past World Sixth Era]."

Seeing that the Silver Cube didn't respond, he changed his words:
"A mysterious time key hidden in Randall's Valley."

Still no response.

"Cycle the time key of the sixth era."

Still no response,

"I knew it was not that simple. However, if this silver cube contains other secrets related to this city, even if there is nothing hidden in the silver cube, Mr. Thomas Granger really left it for me A great item, the key, isn't it right here?"

It's already afternoon, and Xia De has no intention of staying here anymore, after all, Luvia won't arrive until tomorrow.After leaving the hotel, he quickly returned to Cherry Leaf Avenue and found the location between No. 11 and No. 12.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he followed the prompt given on the silver cube, let his eyes look at the wall through the gap between his fingers, and then prayed softly:
"Praise the departed gods, the world is with you and me."

The light distorted, and then as if the space had been expanded, the courtyard of the abandoned church abruptly "squeezed" the gap between the masonry and stone walls, and appeared in Cherry Leaf Avenue.

Xia De looked at this scene in amazement, and while no one noticed, he used "Ragley's Jump" to directly enter the courtyard.Then stand in the snow-covered yard and watch the people coming and going outside:

"It's really interesting. There are no footprints on the snow, and there is no trace of anyone's activity inside the church. Then, will this unknown courtyard be mine in the future?"

When I came here just now, I just found a way to leave in the church.At this time, taking advantage of the time, he explored more carefully in this old church, and then had to admit that apart from construction waste, at least he couldn't find anything of value here.

So he returned home through the hidden space in the basement of the church. Of course, he did not forget to bring the books and gold coins in the box home, and the box was left here as a token.

When I walked out of the basement, I didn't see the happy cat, and I was a little puzzled, and then I realized that Little Mia was taken away by Dorothy to take care of her.

So that night, Xia De had dinner with Dorothy on Silver Cross Avenue, and described what he had seen and heard today to her excitedly.Compared with arriving in a new city in the past, this time the experience is particularly interesting, and Dorothy obviously thinks so:
"An old church that can't be seen in the city? Yes, it's a good subject, and I can think of a very interesting detective story just by hearing the outline!"

It's just that Miss Writer has never heard of the name of the old god [Forgotten Old Man], but Leiziya has found the way Shade tries to learn singing ability:
"Since you hope to gain the ability to sing permanently, then excluding potions and alchemy items, there are only spells and thaumaturgy. Among your spiritual runes, only [Echo] can be associated with similar power."

The blonde girl and Xia De sat opposite each other in the restaurant, which was a high-end restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue. Both of them were dressed formally, and Mia was obediently lying on the high stool.The light of the gas lamps in the restaurant is deliberately adjusted to be very weak, but the light of the candlestick candles on each table is very bright.

People were talking in hushed tones, and the tables were spread far apart with crisp white tablecloths, making it a really nice place for a date.

"Thaumaturgy [Sound of Music]."

Dorothy looked at Xia De with her green eyes:

"This is not for you to learn to sing, but for you to record a piece of music yourself. Whether it is through an instrument such as a piano, or a phonograph, or a real person's singing, it can be recorded and then performed by yourself. Sing. Of course, the timbre will become your own voice, after all, the human voice cannot imitate the sound of a violin."

Xia De nodded, and waited until the waiter who brought fried senbei with foie gras sauce left, he said again:

"Sounds very good. After I go back tonight, I will go to the academy to apply. I will be rewarded with two brand new thaumaturgies in the school year assessment. The academy can even directly provide the materials for the ceremony. But this thaumaturgy was originally used to do What? Created and handed down just to record sound?"

Simple alchemy items can do this.

"It is for the Ring Warlock himself to record the sounds of nature. The sound of wind, rain, and thunder. According to rumors, the clever Ring Warlock who can get in touch with nature will go into the mountains and forests alone, and use himself to record the music of nature and the earth. , to be inspired by the world. However, for you, if you just want to record a song and let yourself sing it, this is enough."

said Dorothy, and pointed at Little Mia with a smile:

"Your cat is so close to writing 'give me something' on its face."

"This cat has been eating a lot since the New Year's Eve. I'm thinking about giving it a diet. Of course, it's just thinking about it."

Xia De said with a smile, and touched the cat's small head, Mia squinted her eyes and rubbed her head against Xia De's palm.

Dorothy went on:
"There are still some problems with the learning materials of thaumaturgy. I know that the academy provides it to you for free, but the main ingredients of the potion that this kind of thaumaturgy needs to drink [three plants of purple Echo Grass that are more than 30 years old and have complete roots], Lacey Ya said that the three major colleges are out of stock recently. Of course, it’s not impossible to find it, but it takes time, but don’t you hope that you can use your time key again on weekends?”

"Where is the place of origin?"

"Carson Rick's Stardew Valley Town and its surrounding areas. Yes, Randall Valley is also within the range, which is where you are going now. Rezia also found this strange place considering that you can go there. technique."

Xia De nodded:

"I'll go to the local black market, and if it doesn't work, I'll find another way. However, after this, I need to record a beautiful song. Do you know who has a good singing voice?"

Miss Writer coughed reservedly, then blinked and looked at Xia De, Xia De suddenly nodded:

"At that time, I will trouble you again."

Miss Writer blushed, and then gave a soft "hmm".

(Mia is running.)

Early on Wednesday morning, Xia De was not in a hurry to go to Randall Valley to meet Luvia who arrived today, but went to Old John's pawn shop first.

"Papa John, can you see what this is?"

There were no customers in the pawn shop early in the morning, Xia De exchanged greetings with the old man who was reading the newspaper, and then took out the silver cube.

Old John, who was wearing reading glasses, tilted his head from behind the counter and looked at the metal blocks on the table:
"If it is not a relic, it is difficult for me to give a specific result, but it is still no problem to identify the material."

As he said, he put on his gloves and checked briefly, and then he was amazed:

"What a waste. If you read correctly, the metal layer of this thing is a layer of mithril. And it's not ordinary mithril, it was blessed by the priests of the gods. Moreover, there are other materials besides mithril, I think Look. About 300 years ago, the Higher Medical College of Serksex invented a brand-new mithril alloy formula, which can make the mithril material have excellent flexibility. If I guessed correctly, this metal block, It should be able to change shape, right?"

"It can display text, but I don't know how to change shape."

Xia De said that he had also heard of the reputation of the so-called "Mithril" in the basic courses and the knowledge of witches. Of course, the name "Mithril" was also translated by himself.This is an extremely expensive material metal, which is more precious than the so-called "secret silver" in the hometown stories in the memories of outsiders. It has excellent resistance to shock and top-level spiritual adaptability.

The price of Mithril is immeasurable, because it is impossible to find it in the black market. Even if the professors of the college are doing experiments, they must apply strictly to the college in order to get this kind of material.

Of course, Xia De had also seen items made of mithril before, that is, Sister Divelin's eye patch.The blindfold with dense lines is a top-level magical item handed down from the ancient Death God Cult. Although the power of the blindfold has little to do with the material, it is enough to show the preciousness of "Mithril".

Therefore, the value of the small silver cube in Xia De's hand was even more exaggerated than he thought yesterday afternoon.
