Whispering Poems

Chapter 1198 The Ballad of Butterfly

After discussing Shade's meeting with Miss Benanis, the witches left separately, and Shade returned to Midhill Castle with Granny Cassandra.The old witch has a lot of experience in the world, and she also suggested that Xia De bring a gift when he meets Miss Benanis tomorrow.

She had planned to help Shad prepare a gift, but the harmonica that Shad took out of the gift box this week was still in the dust at home, so she could just give it to the witch in Randall Valley.As for the "Secret of Immortality", this gift is too expensive, so I can't give it away yet.

After bidding farewell to the witch and the apprentice, Helen and Grace personally sent Shad to the abandoned tower in the mountain of Sikar Mountain.When saying goodbye at the door of the abandoned tower in the forest, Xia Decai asked another question:

"Grace, do you know the old god-the god of butterflies [Thousand Eyed Butterfly]?"

Xia De asked the elder sister in the white skirt. The girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old exchanged glances with the younger sister beside her:
"Sir, did you meet that god in the past time?"

"Yes."

Xia De nodded:

"Because you are inextricably linked with butterflies, so I want to know, you and that god."

Grace reached out and took her sister's hand, and the two became one in the crowd of scarlet butterflies.A more mature girl has more power:
"Yes, the shape of the butterfly is not only related to the red butterfly ornament given by the blood-sucking god, but also related to the butterfly god."

She looked at Xia De passing through the forest under the moonlight, and the quiet moonlight illuminated that handsome face:

"Although the old gods-Twin Gods are the foundation of our power, that great one also gave us strength. It's just that we lost that part of memory, not because you consumed it as a price when you saved us, but It was lost at the transition between the VI and Quaternary periods."

Xia De nodded to express his understanding:
"So what do you know about this god?"

"He loves songs."

Miss Hongdie said with certainty, looking at Xia De with eyes with a strange red halo:

"If we can restore that part of the memory, maybe we can sing for you, a ballad dedicated to the Butterfly God."

"How to restore memory?"

Xia De asked, although there is a way to obtain singing, it is not bad to have a second choice.

The girl in front of her face turned slightly red:
"Dream with us, touch our souls deeply in the dreamland woven by butterflies, and open the door of closed memory."

Xia De suspected that he might have made a mistake, so he just nodded thoughtfully:

"I see. I'm leaving now, and I'll ask for help if needed."

Miss Hongdie had a regretful expression on her face:

"Good night then, Shad"

She hugged Xia De gently, and then kissed Xia De's lips like a bird wet its feathers on the lake:
"Sweet dreams."

When Xia De, who was full of thoughts in his heart, returned home, it was already 09:30 in the evening.The blonde girl hugs the cat and reads a magazine on the sofa in front of the fireplace.Seeing Xia De coming from downstairs, he stood up and said with a smile:

"Have you finished dealing with the witch? Are you going out tonight?"

"I'm not going out anymore. Before dinner, I went to the abandoned manor outside the city, but the effect of [Power of the Earth Healing Spiritual Qi] is not accepted there. I have to wait until the problem of that land erupts again before I can determine whether it is related to Rand. as much trouble as the Vale."

He hugged the blonde girl, and then realized that it was Her Royal Highness:

"Raisia, assist me in the ceremony, I want to learn thaumaturgy [The Sound of Music]."

"No problem, but little Adelina's birthday is next month, have you prepared a birthday present?"

Rezia took off his coat for him, fluttered her nose, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Xia De shook his head in distress:
"I'm not good at picking gifts. My current idea is to find out in the Randall Valley if there are rare or precious special souvenirs in the local area. The local specialty is actually clay figurines, but they look too ugly. Not suitable as a gift."

"If you are not ready, just give her a piece of gem jewelry. Pick one from your gem box, and I will find a qualified gem craftsman to process it for you."

Rezia suggested with a smile, and gently kissed Xia De's side face:

"Or, you can give Agelina yourself as a gift, and she will probably be very happy."

She is testing.

"Rezia, don't be joking."

The thaumaturgy [Sound of Music] learning ceremony is not complicated, but requires the surroundings to be as quiet as possible, so Shad chose to hold the ceremony in the basement at night.

Rituals do not require a ritual array, the most important thing is actually potions.It took Priest Augustus 10 minutes to make the potion using those three precious Echo Grass as raw materials.

After everything was ready, Xia De stood in the basement and drank the potion with light purple light in one gulp.The life ring called from behind, and the [Echo] spirit rune imbued with divinity shone with dazzling golden light.

Xia De stretched out his right hand to cover his right ear:
"do~"

He sang the notes, keeping the pitch as standard as possible.

"re~"

Rezia sang in a low voice, as for the cat, it was locked upstairs at the moment to prevent the cat's meowing from disrupting Shad's ceremony.

"mi~"

"She" sang softly in Xia De's ear, and that voice was better than Xia De's and Rezia's voices.

"fa~"

Xia De closed his eyes and continued to sing, and could vaguely hear the echoes of three different voices overlapping in his ears.

"sol~"

This is the voice of Dorothy's body again. Her Royal Highness has received professional vocal training, and the ladies of the royal family are very good at singing.

"lai~"

"She" continued to sing, if "her" voice could be heard by others, then Xia De would not need to make special preparations at that god's banquet.

"ti~"

Xia De spoke for the third time, and at this time the three voices had all overlapped in his ears.This is an auditory hallucination produced after drinking a potion, probably similar to eating a poisonous mushroom.At this time, the aura of the spirit rune is still flashing, which means that everything in the ceremony is normal.

So Shade, Rezia and "she" sang the final high notes together:

"do ↑~"

Mixed voices appeared in Xia De's ears, and the overlapping voices disappeared at this moment.Afterwards, from the low "do" to the high "do", eight notes echoed in my ears, and Xia De instinctively sang them with his own voice, with an abnormal standard of pronunciation.

"Very good, I have mastered this thaumaturgy!"

After the repeated voices in his ears stopped, Xia De smiled and said to Rezia:

"Next, Your Highness, please sing a song for me and let me record it, so that I can continue to attend the god's banquet and present songs for the god."

"Shad, you know you have someone else who is more suitable."

Her Royal Highness said very gently:

"Go to Randall Valley and seek help from Miss Vanessa Benanis, whom you mentioned today that you have met."

Xia De didn't take the initiative to reveal that Miss Benanis was a witch. After all, it was someone else's privacy, but Rezia could guess.

"Don't make that look, I mean it. I'm confident in my voice, but obviously I can't compare to that kind of professional artist. I'm envious, you can hear her sing, which I don't even have Opportunity. Naturally choose the most suitable object for your time exploration, don't you?"

She said with a smile, then took Xia De's hand, and looked at him with a smile, Her Royal Highness is really understanding.

"In addition, a few days ago, I took away a batch of bad books from Adelina, do you want to try it with me?"

(Mia is running.)

Cotton candy clouds float in the clear blue winter sky.And under this rare winter scenery, the white pigeon was released from the Randall Valley Railway Station amidst the cheers of the people, and the cheers almost shattered the few clouds.

Crowded crowds crowded into the train station on Friday morning. On both sides of the platform, the steam locomotive, which was still emitting black smoke from the front of the train, but was slowly entering the platform amidst harsh noises, either took off their hats or saluted The closed-curtained carriages waved.

At the location where the No. [-] and No. [-] cars were parked, the local police tried to clear an open space with a human wall.And even though the train had just come to a stop, the reporters who had already set up their cameras had already let the spotlights flicker.

The burning magnesium rods created a large cloud of smoke, and the cold breeze blew it towards the rear of the crowd, causing people to cough loudly and laugh, curse and complain disregardingly.

After confirming the safety of the four weeks, the carriage of the train that had stopped was finally opened from the inside.

The royal guards who filed out first formed a thicker human wall together with the local police, and then the attendant came out and laid wooden boards on the gap between the train carriage and the platform.

While the local nobles, including Earl Granger whom Shad had met, went forward together with the mayor of Randall City and others, Prince William Anjou, whom Shad had only seen in newspapers, Wearing a red formal attire with several glittering medals on his right chest, he walked out of the carriage.

There were cheers, applause, and the blaring of camera spotlights, and the Princess of the United Kingdom, Marguerite Anjou, followed her brother out of the carriage at this time.

She was also wearing a very formal long dress, of course, since it was still deep winter, it was a thicker style, and she had a white cashmere shawl on her shoulders.

The kingdom's princess and prince stood side by side, waving to the crowd for the cameras.And when Margaret's eyes swept across the crowd, she accidentally caught a pleasant orange color:

"What a beautiful color! Dazzling like the sun."

She thought in her heart, and when she looked at the color again, she realized that it was a small orange and white cat squatting on the man's shoulder:

"Such a beautiful cat."

Eyes slightly widened:

"Mia?"
