Whispering Poems

Chapter 1208 Big Event - Randall Valley Crazy Land

Shade beckoned to the back of the sofa. Among his piles of casting materials and relics, there was the emblem of the Duchess, surrounded by a circle of bone white borders, and the emblem that could detect witches flew over:

"I am indeed Miss Galina's."

He showed the badge to Miss Benanese, who recognized that it belonged to another great witch.

"Yesterday you invited me to meet. I was thinking of the possibility of misunderstanding, so I temporarily refused. I agreed to meet today because I brought letters from other witches."

The letter also flew over, and Shard handed it to Miss Bernanis, then hugged the cat and sat back on the sofa on the side.

The blond witch frowned slightly and opened it. The letter was only one page and not too long. She quickly read all the content.At the bottom, there are actually autographs and seals of the four great witches, and the confusion becomes more:
"If you can seduce Galina and the immature Sylvia with your beauty, but doesn't Xi Wei only like women? And mother-in-law Cassandra, the eldest witch actually has such an existence to you "

She handed the letter to the curious Miss Ruthers, put her puppet on the table, and looked at Shade seriously:

"Anyway, you did save me just now, and you helped me get this, so I won't do anything to you. Now, follow me back to the manor, this is not a good place to talk, let's keep a low profile and act quickly , it is not good to be discovered by the church.”

"What about the church?"

Shade asked while teasing Mia, who had helped a lot just now, Miss Bernanis made a very complicated expression:
"The crazy puppet theater is a genuine sage-level relic. You don't think it can only hold a puppet show, right?"

"so."

"Just now you rode a cat to fight it, probably all the ring warlocks in the city could see it."

As the Baron of the Kingdom of Carsonrick and the head of the prestigious Golden Dawn Opera Troupe, Miss Bernanis naturally has her own manor locally.It was also in town, even not far from Cherry Leaf Avenue, where the "Church of the Forsaken" is located.

After entering the manor in the carriage, the followers of the witch also showed up one by one. Only then did Xia De feel that he had been active in Randall Valley City for more than half a week, and it was a bit incredible that he only ran into the witch now.

The area of ​​the manor is not particularly large. After arranging the follow-up of the opera accident, Miss Bernanis and Miss Ruthers continued their conversation with Shard in the study on the third floor.As for the main content of the conversation, Miss Bernanis further confirmed what "Shad Hamilton" was.It is not easy to explain this point in detail. Fortunately, last night, I had already discussed with the other four great witches.

He started with his first meeting with the Duchess at the Lucky Southern Cross Club in Tobesque last summer and talked about his story with Miss Galina.As for Miss Avrolla and Mother-in-law Cassandra, she briefly mentioned her acquaintance with Miss Sylvia in Tobesque City, so she explained it in detail.

In order to prevent the witch in front of her from linking herself with the "Godcaller", Shad only mentioned those things that happened in Tobesque, and of course did not mention any sensitive information such as Helen and Grace.But Rao is like this, and these stories are also quite long, so that Shard stayed at the manor for dinner, and continued to chat with the witch and Miss Lathers after dinner.

From Shad's story, Miss Benanis also probably knew about Shad's relationship with the other four great witches.

"They are really bold."

After all the stories were over and Miss Benanese also asked about the details she wanted to know, the witch sat on the sofa and commented arrogantly.At this time, it was already dark outside. The courtyard of the manor was lit with gas street lamps that were not very bright. The lights outside the manor could be seen in the distance. On winter nights, the city was not noisy at all.

"Your existence carries the risk of splitting the parliament. It's impossible for them not to know this. Since it is recorded, there has never been a man that a witch can touch. If I didn't know that Mother-in-law Cassandra doesn't like to joke, I still wouldn't dare. Believe everything you say."

Shard nodded with a smile, knowing that Miss Bernanis had accepted his existence.Miss Lathers, who was sitting beside the Great Witch, winked at him, obviously telling Shad not to care about what Miss Benanis said at the moment.

"However, since they don't tell the other witches about your existence, of course I won't be the bad guy."

The blonde witch said, sighing slightly, then tilted her head to look at the reflection of the study on the window glass;

"During your activities in the Randall Valley, if you need my help, whether it's worldly or otherwise, I'm willing to lend a hand as a reward for saving me and Sirius today. But I want to remind you , Although I have eleven rings like Galina, I am not good at fighting. Besides, there have been some problems with my body recently. If you need high-end combat power, I can only provide help within my capacity."

"However, Golden Dawn is willing to help you, Mr. Hamilton. Vanessa's followers are all in the local area now. Although there are not many ladies in Gaohuan, it should be enough for ordinary situations."

Miss Ruthers said with a smile, the lady was kind to Shard.Regarding the appearance of Shad and the influence of the Witch Council, she looked at it much more lightly than the witches.

"Actually, I was curious just now. I don't know what happened to Miss Benanis? Curse?"

Shade asked tentatively, and the witch shook her head helplessly:

"It's not like a curse, otherwise it would have been removed long ago. It's a bit like a precursor to losing control, but it's not that serious, otherwise I'd ask the council for help myself. This afternoon, it was because of my sudden dizziness that I was affected by that puppet. It is indeed a sign that the problem is changing in a serious direction. I will report to the Speaker tomorrow and hope to find out why."

"Actually, I have a very unique ability to perceive things like curses."

Shade pointed to himself:
"Miss Benanese, would you mind holding my hand?"

In the afternoon, it takes only ten seconds to touch the wrist, and it takes Shard longer to perceive.

The witch only hesitated before agreeing, so Shade got up and sat on her left.Miss Bernaise's red nail-painted hand held Shad's, and it was warm.

The three of them all looked at the hands they held together. Miss Ruthers was very curious. Miss Benanis had never experienced this before, and she blushed slightly. Shade did not feel embarrassed, but asked in her heart:
"How about it?"

【Hold on. 】

After half a minute of silence:
[There is indeed a problem, it is not a curse in the strict sense, it is very similar to the land you purified in the Randall Valley. 】

"What do you mean?"

[Like the land, her soul is polluted.The status is very slight, but your spell probably won't work, it only works on the land. 】

"But doesn't that peculiar phenomenon only happen on the ground?"

He frowned slightly and let go of the witch's hand.Organized the language and started the explanation with a question:

"Miss Benanis, are you the witch representing the seat of the 'Earth'?"

"Yes."

The blonde witch nodded.

"Have you recently used thaumaturgy, ritual or incantation to deeply perceive the land of Randall Valley?"

Miss Bernanis nodded again:

"Yes, about half a month ago, I used a large-scale ceremony to let the soul listen to the pulse of the earth. The Randall River Valley is the center of the rumored earth. Feeling the earth here can strengthen my connection with the earth. This kind of ritual is used by the witches of the earth, and the ritual itself is fine."

"Could it be that Vanessa's soul was contaminated with unclean things during this process?"

Miss Ruthers, who also has beautiful blonde hair, thought of the answer at once, but had another question:
"But many other rituals can have similar effects. There are many ring warlocks in the Church of the Sun. Like Vanessa, they like to perceive the earth in this way. I haven't heard that there are other people who have encountered this kind of trouble."

"I'm afraid this has something to do with my witch identity. The witch of the earth allows me to perceive the pulse of the earth more deeply than any ring warlock."

The blonde witch said with a solemn expression.

Xia De nodded, he has already mastered a lot of relevant information, it seems that the problem of the earth is more serious than imagined:
"I don't know about the ritual, but I know there's something wrong with the land itself in the Randall Valley. Miss Ruthers, you and I go out with that crazy land and know how bizarre it is. I think Benanis The trouble on Miss is related to that peculiar phenomenon. But sorry, my purification spell cannot work on humans."

"But half a month ago, the manor outside the city was not within the range of my perception to make my soul resonate with the earth."

The witch apparently thought of more things:

"Could it be that there is a problem with the entire land in the Randall Valley? It's just that the problem of the manor outside the city has manifested. If this is the case, the problem will soon spread to the entire material world."

"The guess should be correct, I encountered a similar problem in Tobesque City. The same crazy land, but the external manifestations are different."

Shade said, Miss Benanese closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead:
"I'm afraid the problem will be very troublesome. I will find out what happened as soon as possible. I hope it's just some kind of relic that got out of control, or the evil thing broke free from the seal."

Shade learns that "Crazy Earth" is the man from the Emerald Dream.He also told the two ladies the information he had obtained in the dream, and Miss Benanese looked even more serious:
"I don't know the man you mentioned, but if the madness of the earth is a natural phenomenon he said, doesn't it mean that something is wrong with the world itself? How is this possible?"

Judging from the apocalyptic view of the "Light Guiding Priory" and the information revealed by "another Luvia", this is probably correct.

"Vanessa, contact the council as soon as possible tomorrow to determine if the information is correct."

Miss Ruthers said softly beside her, and Shard looked at them with Mia in their arms, and suddenly realized that the Randall Valley has been involved in a disaster that may lead to big trouble.

At this time, it had only been less than a week since he first set foot on the land of the Randall Valley.

"Hamilton, I don't know if you have heard about life and death from Galina. Although the accident at Fort Midhill was also a problem with the city itself, the biggest damage it caused was nothing but the destruction of the Old World. The central and eastern regions have turned into ghosts. But if there is a problem with the earth in the Randall Valley, the center of the earth in the occult sense, the whole material world will be in trouble."

Miss Benanese said to Shard, she knew better than Shard what that meant:
"The information and intelligence you have provided are very valuable. I am not a stingy person, please make some requests to me."

She said to Xia De seriously, and Xia De thought of the most important thing:
"I'm looking for a very special relic. A black, dead wood key."

"No problem, Golden Dawn's local news channels are very sensitive. This is just a small matter, what more do you need?"

The witch then asked, and this time Shard thought of Mr. Granger's silver cube:
"I'm interested in local folklore and urban legends, especially those that have been around for a long time."

"I'll have someone sort it out and give you the documents directly."

Miss Ruthers on the side said that she had a very good impression of Shade:

"This is just a trivial matter. Mr. Hamilton, please don't worry about anything. Since Vanessa said that she will give you some rewards, she really wants to thank you. Relics? Rare thaumaturgy? Although you can get these from Miss Galina , but Vanessa also has her own proud relics and thaumaturgy system."

She encouraged Xia De, probably wrong, thinking that Xia De was embarrassed to make excessive requests.

"That's it"

With his right hand scratching Mia's chin, when the full cat squinted and purred comfortably, Xia De said what he needed to do most so far:
"Then, can I ask Miss Bernanis to sing a song for me? I know a wonderful ritual prayer, please turn it into a song, a song of praise to the earth and butterflies."

"Prayer" refers to the poem when the middle-aged witch Bletchette, Sister Perry, and Mr. Lyman call on the old god.

He slightly stretched his head forward and looked at the witch with great excitement:
"Yes, a song, and I hope you can sing it to me in the best possible way."

After all, the task related to the time key must be perfect.

"Take this opportunity, just want to hear me sing a song?"

The witch was a little embarrassed by Xia De's eager eyes. Before Miss Ruthers said it was a trivial matter, she stretched out her hand so that she didn't have to speak:
"No problem, I admire your taste, Mr. Hamilton. It makes sense that Galina is interested in you."

Saying that, the time and place are given:

"Today is Friday. Then the day after tomorrow, which is Sunday night, the Golden Dawn Opera will perform at the Wilde Opera where we left in the afternoon for the descendants of the Carson Rick family. I won't be on stage, but at the end of the show. After that, I can play a show for you alone."

She stared at Shade with a little blue eyes in her gold:

"is this OK?"

Although her attitude is a bit strange, it is certainly possible.Although Shard used the time key on Sunday morning, he didn't care if it was only delayed by less than a day:

"Then I'll trouble you."

The witch shook her head slightly:

"I don't know how you got here, but if you're still stuck in the Randall Valley, maybe I'll need your help in the next investigation. Singing for you is just a hands-off, I allow you to ask I make a wish, at any time. But before that, I want to talk to Galina alone."

After speaking, he hesitated for a while, and asked hesitantly:
"What's the relationship between you and Galina?"

"Oh, Vanessa!"

Miss Ruthers patted her arm blushing, as if blaming her for spying on other people's privacy.But it seems that this woman is also quite curious about the answer to this question.

"Well, it's a lover relationship. There have been some intimate contacts, but it's not the most intimate kind."

There was a smile on Miss Benanese's face, and Miss Ruthers blushed, and she probably understood.

But no matter what, the first contact and acquaintance with the great witch of the Randall Valley was quite smooth in Shad's opinion.Thanks to that puppet, of course.

"Blood Spirit School, Crazy Earth. Although I got a wish promise from the witch, there are more things to do."

"Meow~"

The cat meows lazily, enjoying the comfort of life at the moment.

Although Miss Benanis still wanted Shard to stay a little longer and talk to him about more about witches.But Shard didn't want to reveal more, so he declined the invitation of Miss Bernanis, left the red wine as a visiting gift, and left the manor with the cat.

It was 07:30 in the evening, and Xia De didn't go home immediately. Instead, he went to the "Plenty Land Hotel" next to the local prophet association, and wanted to talk to Luvia about the information he got today.

It was so late, of course Luvia was in the hotel room, but when Shade opened the door with the key and closed the door after entering, the purple-eyed girl immediately rushed up:

"Oh, Shade, what did you do this afternoon?"

She looked at Mia again:
"What did you do with your cat?"

There seems to be some problems with this statement, but Luvia is more worried about Xia De's safety. After all, the relic in the afternoon has been determined to be a sage-level relic.

The two took their seats in the room, and Shade briefly explained what happened in the afternoon, but focused on more speculation about "Crazy Earth".

"This disaster will definitely affect the entire world, and since the Blood Spirit School appears, the chosen ones should also appear."

"The Chosen One of the Earth?"

The purple-eyed girl frowned slightly. Xia De still had two eye coins at this time, but he had no idea what to do for a while, so he didn't take them out:
"I'll investigate these things, Luvia, don't interfere for the time being."

After that, he took out the telescopic magic dagger again:

"Come on, stab me two more times."

Luvia had a serious face, but she couldn't help laughing:
"That's not a precognitive dream, don't be nervous. Besides, Mia in your dream has thirteen rings on her tail, and there is only one ring this afternoon."

"Safety first, fate never wants to manipulate me!"

Xia De insisted, so she could only stab Xia De casually twice.After dropping the dagger, he said worriedly:

"Then be careful, Xia De, I will always be by your side."
