Whispering Poems

Chapter 1671 The Sorceress and the Witch
Iluna left after dinner that night, and Xia De stayed overnight in the manor.It's just that when Shade and Miss Galina entered the bedroom at night, Tifa's eyes were still somewhat resentful.

On Monday morning, Xia De, who woke up from the soft bed, was also preparing to continue his investigation in the Green Lake area.

He took the carriage back to the city with Miss Galina who was going to the Yodel Palace. Before the official departure, he did not forget this week's gift.

To be honest, Xia De has completely given up hope for taking out extraordinary items from the [God's Gift Box].But this week, he actually took out another relic.

"Huh? Why does it feel so familiar? Well, it looks familiar too!"

What was taken out of the box was a coin, made of black metal, with a man in a robe ferrying across the water on one side, and a four-line letter on the other side:

"[Yin Soul Iron Money]?"

His eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time since the [Master Key] that he obtained a relic from the [God's Gift Box] half a year later.And seeing this coin, I immediately thought of what Rezia and Dorothy did on Saturday night.He immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then put the coin away.

In this way, the number of special coins currently stored with Luvia is three.

Since the coins were taken out, this week's task is naturally related to "coins".But it is not a requirement to spend a fixed amount of coins, nor is it a requirement to donate money, but a requirement for at least two days in this week to completely record your daily expenses.

This is not difficult for Xia De, who has the habit of keeping accounts.After all, if you live alone and don't manage your wallet well, you will easily fall into an embarrassing situation.

After packing up his belongings, the cat, who was unwilling to move, stayed at home to watch the house, and Xia De went to the Green Lake area again.

"Oh! It's raining!"

As soon as he came out of the back door of the Green Lake Hotel, the damp smell in the air hit his face. He felt the rare cold feeling in spring and heard the sound of rain falling.

Among the toys Xia De carried with him was of course an umbrella. When he opened the umbrella and entered the alley, he was very thankful that the boots he was wearing today were waterproof.

He was a little worried about the boy John in the trash can, but the boy was not in the trash can at this time, and the puppy was gone.So Xia De put food, a cotton coat, an umbrella and a piece of canvas in the trash can.

He planned to take this route when he returned home today, and then see if the boy had returned.

"When Galina comes here, let her arrange to send John to the Green Lake City Orphanage."

Although we know that welfare institutions in underdeveloped industrial cities on the border probably have their own tricks, but having a house to live in and a bed to sleep in is at least better than settling down in a trash can.Among the ranks of tramps and beggars, the living conditions of boys are also the worst.

Although there is no fog in the city in rainy weather, the gloomy sky makes the city more lifeless.Walking from the alley to the street, apart from a galloping carriage passing by across the road, there are only two pedestrians walking with umbrellas on the far corner of the street.

The sound of clattering seemed to be the only sound in the city.This lonely and depressing environment made Xia De, who was in a bad mood because he saw [Ghost Iron Money] a few minutes ago, even worse.

He broke into the Green Lake Hotel under an umbrella and braved the rain. On a rainy Monday morning, there were really not many guests on the first floor of the hotel.

Mr. Soren Green and Miss Helena Green were absent. Behind the counter was the hotel's middle-aged waiter.He summoned a young waiter to take the dripping umbrella from Xia De's hand, and brought a dry towel.

After thanking him, Xia De asked for a cup of hot tea, and then walked to the table under the wall with the landscape painting of Green Lake.

The lady with light brown shawl hair was sitting there quietly at this moment, reading the news with a newspaper open.

"Good morning, what a bad day today."

Xia De took a seat opposite her, so the newspaper moved away, revealing that delicate face.Megan Edwards had a smile on her face, she was obviously in a good mood when she saw Shad early in the morning:
"Yeah, it's been raining since last night. When I got out of the carriage in high heels, I wondered if I was wearing the wrong shoes."

Xia De resisted the urge to look under the table curiously, to check whether the other party's shoes were sticky with mud, and thanked the fat maid who brought the teacup:

"You've been here for a long time? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"because."

The newspaper was put down, and the witch put one arm flat on the table in front of her, and leaned forward slightly, bringing her face closer to Shad:
"I believe that we have such a tacit understanding."

She blinked at Xia De, and her attitude was completely different from the first time they met, which was obviously related to Xia De's risky rescue of her after encountering the "Hidden Mirror Man" last time.

"Is there a tacit understanding? Then, the investigation of the bad-eyed Barry has already come to fruition? It's only been a day."

"Don't underestimate the power of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals in the local area. Although I don't come back often, my... yes, my industry has long attached its tentacles to the family's homeland."

"Your property?"

Xia De blinked:
"The mysterious controller behind Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals turned out to be Ni."

"It's nothing to brag about, yes, it's not worth mentioning."

Megan shook her head slightly, then picked up the silver teaspoon in the teacup and stirred slightly.At the same time, Shad felt the heat suddenly emanating from the badge on his chest, and the heat increased steadily until it reached the point where it was almost close to Tifa.

No one moved around, and Megan just turned the spoon and looked at him with a smile.

[It is indeed the unique power of a witch. In her body, there is another soul.But if you want to determine the relationship between the two soul postures, you need to get in touch with her soul more closely. 】

This is not the first time Xia De has encountered this situation. Rezia and Dorothy often do this, especially at night, so that everyone can have a sense of participation.And this relatively easy soul conversion also means that the lady's "injury" should be better.

"There's one more thing worth noting than bad-eyed Barry."

Megan, or Audrey Edwards, obviously didn't know what Shad felt at this time.She squinted her eyes slightly, listening to the sound of the pattering raindrops hitting the glass in the distance. On this rainy spring morning, she was enjoying being so close to a man she liked for the first time since she became a witch. What it's like to have a conversation:

"Since we left Central Island last time, it seems that overnight, everyone knows the news of the Tibetan Mirror Man from the [-]th Ring Road appearing in the Green Lake area. The Church of the Five Gods, the Three Great Colleges, the Association of Prophet... If it is not in the newspapers The front page of the newspaper is still the content of the Pantanal border negotiations, and I even suspect that someone directly wrote the whereabouts of the hidden mirror man in the newspaper."

Xia De laughed:

"This is a good thing. The hidden mirror man will definitely keep a low profile recently, and the possibility of us encountering him again will be smaller. Oh, I did tell my teacher about him, but I don't know why the church knows Yes. We shouldn’t underestimate the Church of the Five Gods so much, they must have special intelligence channels.”

The sorceress was noncommittal, watching Xia De continue to turn the teaspoon:

"Not only the thirteen-ring Warlock of the Mirror Association, I have other big news here. After I separated from you last time, I originally planned to investigate who the first-generation lord of Edwards, Klein Edwards, is. , but someone said the answer in advance."

Xia De raised his eyebrows, and seeing the expression of "Quickly ask me" from the lady opposite, he took out his [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] and put it on the corner of the table, and said:

"The real name of your ancestor - Laplace Klein Howard. More than 200 years ago, a traitor of the Prophet Association, a real thirteen-ring fortune teller."

"how do you know?"

The movement of shaking the teaspoon stopped abruptly. Amidst the sound of rain outside the window, she asked in surprise:
"I only heard about it from a friend on Thursday night. Are your sources so well-informed?"

"I have an acquaintance in the Prophet Association, a very beautiful female fortune teller."

"It's a sorceress again~"

So the brown-haired lady had a teasing expression on her face. She had heard from Shade that he had a tryst with different ladies, so she was not surprised that he had a "good friend":
"In this way, the affairs of our family have already involved two thirteen-ring warlocks. I don't know whether I should feel sad or honored."

She sighed:

"Since you know so many things, do you know what happened in the local area these days? The local church and the Prophet Association have sent people to the island, but of course nothing can be found out, just like the one hundred years ago. However, the follow-up church and the Prophet Association will send people to this area, and the Green Lake area has shown signs related to the chosen ones, and the church will send at least three thirteen rings."

There were no thirteen-ring warlocks stationed in Green Lake Diocese originally, and there were not many thirteen-ring warlocks, and obviously this place was not very important.

"Maybe the Prophet Association will also send some great people, so we must land on the island again as soon as possible, and there may be no chance in the future."

Xia De said, the witch nodded:

"I'm still short of the materials I need. We'll set off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This is probably the last chance to get on the island easily. I hope two keys are enough."

The first key was obtained from the blacksmith together with Shad, but Shad still doesn't know what door these keys correspond to.
