Whispering Poems

Chapter 160 Meeting with Galina

After Tifa, the maid at the door, closed the door of the study again, Miss Galina continued to talk. She jokingly said:
"Detective, I think you should be satisfied with this 'job'. Just take the money with peace of mind. The situation of MI[-] is special, and there are all kinds of agents. Although it is rare to get paid for nothing, even if you are caught What happened."

"Thank you Miss Galina."

Xia De could only thank him in this way.

"Detective, I like this about you. You know what other people have paid, and you don't hesitate to thank yourself. Some people can't do such a simple thing. We will have a lot of cooperation in the future. The founder of Yinyue The value is not only on the poker table. You will gradually find that with this card, you will get many unexpected friendships."

Xia De took this sentence as the meaning of seeing off the guests, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave.But unexpectedly, there were footsteps in the room inside the study at this time.

He looked at the black-haired maid at the door of the study in surprise, but the latter didn't intend to urge him to leave immediately.

So he turned around and looked at the door inside the study room. The door was pushed open from the inside. First, feet wearing high heels appeared, and then the skirt covered the feet.A young lady with long fiery red hair came out from the room inside the study.

She looks only 27 or [-] years old, with fair skin, and her face under light makeup looks like a rose blooming in midsummer.She was wearing a beautifully styled black long dress with lace and tulle trim on the skirt.Because of the existence of the waist, the arc of the body is particularly protruding.

The fiery red long hair was carefully braided and tied behind her head, and she wore a black round lady's hat with a layer of white tulle decoration on her head.Red hair is the symbol of the Cavendish royal family, and King Larouse III's title of "Fire Leaper" is related to this.

"Good evening, Detective."

Galina Cavendish greeted, the diamond earrings gleaming under the warm yellow gas light of the study.The pupils of the eyes are actually deep golden yellow, Xia De has never seen such eyes.

"good evening"

With fair skin, a high nose bridge, and delicate cheeks, the other party has a beauty that surpasses that of human beings. This strangeness made Xia De subconsciously swallow his saliva.

"Miss Galina."

Those golden eyes looked at Xia De, and Xia De did not dodge, but took the initiative to look at the beautiful lady in front of him.Only at close range did he realize that the other party was actually as tall as Xia De.

"But she's wearing high heels."

Shade thought to himself.

After a while, the red-haired duchess took the lead to look away:
"Detective, do you have any questions? If not, I think I should leave."

"Yes, there is one more question, which you are free to answer or not."

Xia De said that he knew that the other party was not infinitely generous to him, so tonight's victory, he decided to get an answer to an extra question:

"I've recently become interested in ancient gods. About the ancient gods, may I ask. Is it related to the Witch Emperor?"

He didn't directly ask about the "Whispering Poetry" and the chosen one, so as not to misjudge the opponent's camp.He was not sure how the Witch Council viewed the big prophecy.

Miss Galina smiled, with dimples on her face:
"Everyone who knows us will be curious about this question, but this is the secret of the council and the last secret of the Fifth Epoch. Detective, although I initially trusted you, you are not a witch, and you are not us."

Xia De nodded, knowing that it was impossible to be so simple.But unexpectedly Miss Galina suddenly said:
"But you can know the answer to that question if you become us. Become a woman."

Xia De's head immediately shook like a rattle, and then heard the black-haired maid at the door, Miss Tifa Sevitt, covering her mouth and laughing lightly, and Miss Galina also smiled and said:

"Of course I'm joking. The council only accepts pure women, without exception. Detective, although you cannot become a member of the council of witches, you will be under the protection of me, Galina Cavendish. I and Although their relationship is not very good, but with this status, no one in the council will embarrass you."

As he said that, he actually took the initiative to grab Xia De's wrist.

Xia De was taken aback, not to mention that many people have mentioned that "the great witches of the Witch Council generally hate men", even if they don't hate men, it's not normal to casually grab a man's wrist like this.

"What's wrong?"

he asked, and freed his wrist.Miss Galina glanced at her palm, shook her head slightly, then walked to the door, turned her back to him and said:
"Detective, if necessary, I will send someone to find you. When Tifa sends you the [relic], you will also get my contact information. The last witch emperors of the fifth era did inherit thirteen The power of an ancient god. As for the great witch of the sixth era, I will tell you next time."

The maid, Miss Tifa Servet, opened the door, and together with the servants waiting outside, led Miss Galina out of the study.

Standing in the study, Xia De listened to their footsteps gradually receding in the corridor, and took a long time to breathe out.

He frowned and asked in his heart:

"Her attitude towards me is very strange. Is there anything in me that I haven't noticed that may be beneficial to her? When she grabbed my hand, was there any sign of thaumaturgy or spell use?" ?”

He still has this vigilance.

【No. 】

Nodding his head, he stared at the study carpet under his feet, recalling every detail when the two met just now:
"Besides, that Miss Galina gave me the feeling that something is wrong. I am now considered an introductory occultist, and the elements of her body are a bit strange. What did you feel when you were at close range just now?"

[Ordinary ring magicians, even if they specialize in a certain field, such as your writer friend, the four elements are generally balanced, but she is different. 】

"Is it unbalanced? That's it."

Then got a further answer:

[Galina Cavendish's whisper element is almost the sum of the other three elements.But she is indeed human, not a humanoid relic. 】

"Whispering? Could it be that this is the special method of inauguration mentioned by the doctor? Using relics to inaugurate? No, you can't guess casually."

Xia De looked at the position of the door:
"Witch council, witch, could it be that the last thirteen witch emperors of the Fifth Era have the same mission as the thirteen chosen ones of this era? But that's not right, although the academy's history books are vague about the changes in the era , but it is true that there are no 'gates', and between the fifth era and the sixth era, there is no such thing as a huge change."

Thinking about these things, he stepped out of the study.
