Whispering Poems

Chapter 1399 With Miss Daniste

Seeing that story, Xia De understood a little bit:

"Your current mother is your stepmother?"

He returned the book to the little girl, and the girl nodded with her lips pursed, but did not explain further.Xia De can naturally guess the general story, but as an outsider, he can't say much:
"Thank you for answering my question, so, want to see me do magic tricks?"

Xia De stood up while talking, and when the little girl looked up at him curiously, he put his hand into his pocket, and quickly took out a red apple:

"Look, I've conjured an apple!"

"I know! The apple was in your pocket!"

The girl said with a smile.

"You guessed it right, so it belongs to you."

Xia De then handed the apple to the girl on the hospital bed, and the girl thanked softly after taking it.When Xia De was about to leave, she asked again:

"Sir, do you think that the prince in the story who can change a girl's life really exists?"

This is not an easy question to answer, Xia De thought for a while before asking:

"So, do you believe that fairies who turn girls into princesses are real?"

The girl shook her head without hesitation:
"Of course it doesn't exist. If the fairy tales were true, she would have been punished long ago."

Who "she" refers to, the girl did not explain, and Xia De did not ask, he praised with a smile:
"You are very clever. So if fairies don't exist, why should princes exist?"

Before the girl spoke, Shad continued:
"I know that what you want to ask is not the prince, but whether someone will take you out of this home in the future."

The girl stared at Xia De with wide eyes, and Xia De continued:

"Of course it will, just like your mother met your father. Maybe I shouldn't say that, but if you do meet this person, you should judge him as good or bad, not according to the prince's 'rich' And handsome', should be judged by the fairy godmother."

"What kind of person is a fairy godmother? Can she do magic? But isn't this requirement too high?"

The girl asked with some trouble, Xia De laughed:

"No, no, no, there are no such high requirements. When you meet the weak, you are willing to reach out to help; and honesty, she promised to help the poor girl, and she really fulfilled the girl's wish."

Saying that he waved his hand, this time Xia De really wanted to leave:
"Of course, in addition to these, there is the most important point."

"What's the most important thing?"

The girl looked up at him, Xia De said seriously:

"What the prince likes is Cinderella, who is dressed up in a pumpkin carriage and comes with crystal shoes; but what the fairy likes is Cinderella, who is not outstanding in appearance, but hardworking and simple."

The girl blinked, and suddenly laughed.She also waved goodbye to Xia De, and watched Xia De leave here from the stairs.

Xia De hadn't found Miss Dennister this morning, so he accidentally heard the gossip that Margaret was coming to visit the patient.Finding Miss Daniste was easier than he thought. He wandered around the street where the Church of the Sun was located, but he didn't dare to enter the Church of the Sun directly. Looking at the busy church interior, he turned into the side alley.

The alley is right next to the church, so although it is as narrow as most alleys in the city, it is not dirty at all.Xia De's original intention was to check the situation on the street behind the church, but just as he walked into the alley, he saw Miss Daniste leading two high-level professors walking in a low voice. come over.

At that moment, Xia De had the idea of ​​retreating, but he thought of the big-tailed dragon girl who was still waiting for him to go back in the Eternal Night City of the last era, and he walked forward firmly.

At this time, Xia De was smeared with the witch's eye shadow to pretend.In this state, people who are close and familiar with Xia De still see Xia De's face, while those who are slightly unfamiliar see other appearances.

When the two sides met in the alley, Xia De looked up at Miss Dannister, and the sorceress of the thirteenth ring just glanced at him, nodded slightly, as if greeting a stranger, and then casually Watching the two professors pass by Xia De.

Xia De continued to walk forward, but did not leave after reaching the exit at the other end of the alley. Instead, he turned back into the alley and stopped under a notice posted by the church.

That notice was a notice for the distribution of relief food in winter, and it was signed on the month of frost in 1853, that is, November.The general idea of ​​the notice is that the weather is getting colder and the first snow is coming, and the weekend relief food distribution time of the Church of the Sun will be extended from 07:30 to [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].At the same time, the poor who receive relief food in winter can receive some old newspapers if necessary.

These old newspapers are not taken home to burn for heating, but are stuffed into clothes to keep warm. Beggars on the street will use this method to maintain body temperature in winter.

"What are you looking at?"

The voice came from behind, and Xia De looked up at the decorative border of wheat ears, the huge sun pattern on the top, and the cat-shaped pattern in the corner of the notice, and sighed softly:

"Reminiscing about the past. Before I became a ring magician, I was once poor and had to go to the church to receive relief food to survive."

"Once" meant about eight hours, because on the way home that night, he ran into Old John's pawn shop and found out that he still had some property.

"Oh, you still have this experience? Is it the time after awakening?"

The woman's voice asked with a smile, Xia De turned around and saw the thirteen-ring female sorceress standing behind him:
"Good morning, Miss Dennist."

"Good morning, Shad."

The pretty red-haired lady shook her head slightly:
"I found myself not at all curious about your sudden appearance in Randall Valley."

Xia De has some experience in observing the mood of ladies, so he knows that the smile on her face is real.

"I've actually been here for a while. This time I want to ask you something, so I came to see you."

"Hope you didn't take such a risk to meet me in Randall's Valley to ask about the role of daffodil roots in making 'cough water'."

She was still smiling and talking, and then, like Xia De just now, she looked up at the yellowed notice:

"It has to be admitted that the stability of the material world in the sixth era is thanks to the Orthodox Church. Although the witch emperors of the fifth era also played a similar role, they not only took responsibility, but were also willing to let I have more power. Relatively speaking, the Orthodox Church of the sixth era is much better."

Xia De nodded:
"That's why the five orthodox gods can become the most orthodox belief today. Maybe the high-end combat power of the Church of the Five Gods can't beat the witch emperors of the fifth era, but their dedication is comparable to yours. Do you still have something to do in the morning? Why not?" I will make an appointment to visit you again."

"So Xia De, what are you doing this morning?"

Miss Dennist asked instead, she didn't want to ask Shad how he appeared here.

"fine."

"Well, let me go to the church and have a look. Your current disguise is very good, I will apply another layer of illusion for you. Follow me for a while, and no one will ask your identity. Since you are here, I Let me take you to see the situation here. It is also what a teacher should do to bring his students to see the world more."

The two professors Gao Huan just now were waiting for them outside the alley.Just like Miss Dennister said, the professors didn't even bother to ask who Shad was, as if he had come here with them from the very beginning.

The group's destination was the Church of the Sun that Shade hadn't entered just now. In order to show respect for the thirteen-ring warlocks, Mr. Pierre Granger, the current local thirteen-ring warlock "Earth Shaker" of the Sun Church, came here on purpose. Greeted at the door.

This Mr. Granger obviously knew Miss Daniste.During the introduction, Xia De realized that among the two professors who came with Miss Daniste, the gray-haired old man was Professor Lemar from the seminary, and the slender lady who seemed to be in her 40s, It was Professor Mason of the School of Ancient Letters.

When introducing Xia De, Miss Daniste only said that this was her assistant, so the people who came to welcome him from Church of the Sun didn't ask much.

Mr. Pierre Granger accompanied a group of people into the church, crossed the main hall, and entered the corridor on the right.Then go up the stairs until you come to the tower on the right side of the church that is not open to ordinary believers.

In the topmost room of the side tower that can be seen from most of the city, the group sees an earthen chalice suspended above a stone altar.This Holy Grail is very familiar to Xia De, it is the "sweet holy grail" used by the witch to make the "universal earth elixir".

At this time, the holy grail contained a clear liquid, and as the altar below with strong miraculous elements exuded a thick, mud-like luster, the liquid in the holy grail dripped down from the mouth of the cup.

On the surface of the altar, there is a ring groove.Every drop of liquid that falls will enter the groove, and then flow along the groove to the edge of the altar, and then be collected from the small opening.

"This is it."

Mr. Pierre Granger introduced that this gentleman looks about the same age as Earl Granger, but he is taller and has a stronger figure:

"This is currently the most effective way to treat the petrified plague. In fact, if all the liquid in this holy grail is taken out and used, it is enough to cure any petrified patient in a non-dead state, even if it directly touches the filth of the earth. It can also be cured. But in order to save more people, we can only catalyze the effect of the elixir with the divine magic ritual of the church, dilute it and then distribute it."
