Whispering Poems

Chapter 1383 Sigh
"Why don't I know about this?"

Prince William's voice suddenly became low. Earl Granger pursed his lips and said nothing. Shad knew the answer, because Prince William was busy with business with Oxenfurt some time ago and had no time to care about these matters.

"Also, Margaret wants to get the money herself? I know that her business behind the scenes is definitely not small."

The prince started pacing in front of the window again. Looking at his side face, Xia De could tell his anxiety at this moment:
"That's not okay. If she really intends to contribute money, then I can't pretend that I don't know. All the cash in my hand is invested in it. But if I can't get out a single copper, what will my father think of me? "

As he said that, the pacing prince looked at Earl Granger with sharp eyes, and the Earl showed a suddenly realized expression, and he said softly:

"Your Majesty's reply letter hasn't arrived yet, maybe His Majesty can solve this matter from Willendale, after all, the kingdom's treasury is still very abundant. But if you really need to advance a sum of money in advance, how about this, Your Highness, I'll lend it to you. I know you've come here lightly, and you must have forgotten your checkbook."

Prince William stopped again, and turned his back to the window again, with admiration and exclamation in his tone:
"Then trouble the earl, you are really the most loyal person to the royal family."

Shad admired Earl Granger's self-cultivation, because the Earl was still able to put on a quite natural, reserved smile after being praised:

"You really deserve the prize."

Xia De thought the conversation was over like this, but unexpectedly Prince William said again:

"Count, since you still have some cash in your hand, speaking of it, have you considered investing it? You know, keeping gold in your hand and not spending it is no different from scrap copper. Coincidentally, I have some cash in my hand now." It’s a very good project. Although we can’t say the specifics, it’s actually related to the gold mines that have been rumored in the city recently. We discovered a large precious metal mine in the outer sea.”

Earl Granger blinked:

"Precious metal mines. In fact, in recent years, the family business has not been very prosperous. You also know that the trade war launched by the people of Delarion against us has caused heavy losses to a small businessman like me."

There was some bewitching meaning in Prince William's tone:
"It doesn't need to be too much, you only need to pay 1 crowns, and the rate of return is definitely higher than you think. Don't give me an answer now, I will visit in a few days, and I can give you some information then."

"Of course that would be great."

Although the earl hid it well, Xia De still saw that he was relieved. 1 kroner is about [-] to [-] gold pounds. Although a rich and powerful nobleman like Earl Granger can probably afford this amount of money, no one will lose so much easily without feeling distressed.

And Earl Granger was not interested in Prince William's business at all, probably not because he saw through the scam right away, but purely because the conversation just now made him feel that the prince was not a reliable person.

Although the conversation in the room is still going on, it should have come to an end.After watching this "funny show", Xia De moved his body carefully, and was about to go back to the interior corridor to wait for the Earl, but just as he moved, his ears caught the sound of the ground.

Turning his head and looking down, the strange man stood in front of the manor house, looking up at him in surprise, Xia De was sure that the tall and thin man saw him directly, not at the glass:

"Hey! The people above, what are you doing?"

asked the man on the ground.

[Twelve rings. 】

The voice reminded me softly.

Xia De smiled, and then turned into a group of red butterflies and flew towards the roof of the building:
"It's really bad luck."

The Twelve Ring Warlock who can appear here must be an official member of the church. If he is caught up by the other party, he will be in trouble this time.

"Ragley's Jump!"

After dripping the extract of weathervane bluegrass on the tip of his tongue, Shade jumped directly from the roof, took a step forward in the air, and entered the room from the window of the corridor on the third floor.

But it was not safe to enter the room, so he walked quickly along the stairs to the first floor.Because he was worried about hurting Margaret, Xia De did not go to the princess, but mixed into the crowd.

He took a wine glass casually, then stood at the window where he had just talked with Mr. Enriquez and looked out, relaxing his body and pretending to be very leisurely.Xia De let out a long breath, feeling very annoyed at his carelessness.Although it was impossible for him to predict that the Warlock of the Twelve Rings would appear just when he was eavesdropping, he should have thought about this possibility.

"It seems that the recent mentality is not right, and we still need to be extremely careful and cautious."

After waiting for a while, no one came to him, so Xia De relaxed a little.He took a sip from the glass he was holding and realized it was champagne.Putting the cup on the window sill, I was about to turn around and look around, but found that there were circles of ripples on the liquid surface in the still cup.

"what?"

【earthquake. 】

A slight shaking sensation appeared, and then the crystal chandelier above the head made a rather terrifying sound.The banquet hall, which was still very lively, fell silent for a moment as if it was sprinkled with a silent spell. Everyone looked up at the shaking and creaking crystal chandelier.After someone yelled "Go outside quickly", the guests quickly gathered towards the entrance of the mansion.

On the night of Friday, the 21st day of the rare moon, a small earthquake with the center of Randall Valley City as the epicenter came quietly and unexpectedly.

The sudden earthquake interrupted the rhythm of the banquet. Although the scale of the earthquake was far less than that of half a month ago when Shad realized the divinity of the Randall Valley, the banquet was still interrupted and ended hastily.

Xia De didn't stay here for long either, he greeted Margaret with a heavy heart and left.Her Royal Highness felt extremely sorry for inviting Xia De, but not entertaining Xia De at all. When watching him leave from the window, she felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart.

Xia De did not take the carriage, but walked to the street, and walked back to the Harvest Land Hotel in the city center.He had planned to talk to Luvia about the earthquake. After all, the earthquake happened directly in the urban area, but he didn't expect to see Luvia and another The two women sat at a table against the wall.They talked softly while listening to the heroic stories of the bard playing the lyre, and Shade turned and left directly through the door.

Because it was Miss Daniste, the librarian of St. Byrence, who talked to Luvia.Miss Dennist asked Shad on Wednesday morning if she wanted to send a message to Luvia in Randall Valley, but she actually came directly.

So Xia De, who had nothing to do, came to the street alone, and while thinking about things, he came to the Church of the Forgotten on Cherry Leaf Avenue.

After entering the invisible church through a special method, I found that the church was also empty.

Xia De did not choose to go home immediately, but stepped on the red carpet that had already been laid, came to the seat in the front row of the front hall, picked up the photo of the Watsons family and put it aside, and then sat in the rather Next to the stone statue of Mr. Si.

He moved the center back slightly, let himself lean on the back of the stone chair, and then looked at the holy emblem that had been hung at this time together with the stone statue.

It took a long time before the sound of sighs sounded in the empty church.It was quite dark in the church, only the moonlight came in through the hole in the roof.

Shade didn't move for a long time, thinking about his recent actions in the Randall Valley, thinking about the ancient family line, the evil spirits from the third era, and the epic of the chosen ones in the sixth era.

With a flash of inspiration, he turned around and looked behind him, and then saw the transparent soul of Mr. Lassus, standing under the moonlight, bowing his head and praying respectfully to the holy emblem hanging on the wall.

Xia De didn't get up, but turned around and put his hands on the back of the chair:

"I thought that the next time I saw you would be after I got rid of the demon."

The devout soul did not answer Shad, but opened his eyes after the prayer was finished.The moonlight penetrated the transparent figure, but due to the characteristics of the spirit body, no shadow was left behind.

Willon Lasers looked at the young man sitting next to his body:
"The original plan was like this, but now we have to come to see you earlier."

"Is it related to the earthquake tonight?"

"Yes, the petrified plague in the city and this earthquake are both signs. The madness of the earth is spreading to more land at an accelerated rate. Next Tuesday, there will be another area where black mud emerges that connects the roots of the earth. We need Your help."

Xia De looked at him:
"If you need my help, you should at least give me some trust. Now, are you still refusing to tell me the truth about you?"

Mr. Lathers was silent for a moment:
"We must be vigilant against that demon. We must not tell anyone our secret until the demon leaves the land."

Xia De sighed slightly:

"Do you really know "Whispering Poetry" and the Chosen One?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know it."

The soul replied very calmly, so Xia De told him the big prophecy of the witch emperors, the thirteen chosen ones, and what happened since last summer in the silent ancient church:

"The guardian is the fifth chosen one, the chosen one of the earth. It's just that the chosen one is a single individual, not a group, so I haven't fully understood your affairs, but I have already guessed."

"If we become the chosen ones, we can completely clean up the pollution of the earth. We are willing to do this and become your companions."

Mr. Lassers said that he behaved quite rationally, even a little abnormally.

"It's not that simple. Rituals, cultists, demons, if the chosen ones appear so easily, what kind of epic is it?"
