Whispering Poems

Chapter 1721 The Ring I Got

All the stairs to the upper floors were broken, and the side of the first floor near the lake was mostly flooded.The cracks in the load-bearing wall seemed to have been scratched by Mia's claws, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants had already made their homes here.

Although Megan found out the location of the ring, she didn't expect the situation of the manor to be so bad.Standing at the gate of the manor mansion with Xia De and looking at the interior hall, he hesitated and said to Xia De:

"Take my hand and I'll take you up."

She naturally hooked Xia De's hand with her own:

"While strength is still recovering, short flights can still be done."

"I'll still come."

Xia De closed his eyes, and used the newly acquired [Powerful Spatial Perception] to determine the terrain near the mansion, then took out the weathervane bluegrass extract and dripped it on the tip of his tongue, and held Megan's hand tightly:
"Stand still."

Taking a step forward, the figures of the two disappeared in place and appeared in the corridor on the third floor.The weight of the two of them and Mia pressed on the raised wooden floor, making a loud "squeak~" sound, which shocked the nearby mice to escape into the shadow formed by the decayed and collapsed door panel and the sunlight from the window at the end of the corridor .

"Space movement?"

Megan looked around in surprise:
"You are only on the sixth ring, and you can already lead people to move in a stable space?"

"Haven't you tried it before?"

"Try it, a friend who has passed away is also very good at space power. However, she is much higher than your level, and she usually only uses space power when teleporting over long distances."

The high probability she said was Miss Sylvia's teacher.

"You really are not"

The beautiful eyes looked at Xia De again, and Xia De answered the question again:
"Miss Pharmacist, I'm really not the chosen one, I'm pretty sure of that."

Stepping on the creaking floor to the master bedroom, Xia De lifted the moldy bed, held down Mia who was screaming at the snake, burned the snake nest under the mattress, and then Lifting the floor, he found a hidden compartment under the floor.

"It went better than I thought."

"What do you think you'll encounter?"

The sorceress asked strangely:

"I did so many investigations in the early stage, so it's strange that it didn't go well?"

"Because I need something, usually. It doesn't matter."

Earl Gaiman, who passed away 50 years ago, was very cautious. All the things in the secret compartment were placed in a metal box the size of two palms, so they were preserved fairly intact.

The box couldn't be opened due to rust, but it didn't matter in front of strength.Shade opened the box and saw the ring with black gemstones and white gemstones at a glance. He handed the box containing other things to Megan and asked her to check it. Then he looked at the golden ring with the light outside the window. The black gemstones and white gemstones on the ring shone with a strange light.

"The poet-level relic [The Ring of Mind], white represents positive emotions, and black represents negative emotions."

Xia De muttered to himself, rubbed the inside of the ring with his fingertips, and found the sentence Megan once said:

[The blend of joy and sorrow is the interpretation of wisdom. 】

After chanting softly, he put the ring on his finger, and couldn't help but smile.Although he has a lot of relics in his hands, he only likes this kind of relics that are simple in shape and can be displayed together.Even if the relic is of little use, he is very happy at the moment.

He tried to guide his own spirit, stored the joy at the moment in the white gemstone, and then realized that a more accurate term is "recording emotions", and he did not lose some emotions out of thin air.

"It's a pity that I'm in a good mood now, otherwise I can try to see how it changes my mood."

Xia De thought in his heart, and then he was pulled by the cat on his shoulder.Turning to look at the big amber eyes of the cat, after looking at each other for a while, Xia De took off the ring and shook it at it, and sure enough, he saw the cat's eyes moving with the ring:

"You sure will like it."

As he said that, he raised his hand to hold Mia's tail. If he did this normally, even Xia De would be disgusted by this cat until before the meal was served, but this time it was very obedient.It wasn't until Xia De put the ring on the cat's tail that the cat took the initiative to pull the tail out of Xia De's hand, and then turned to look at the way his tail was wagging.

"Putting a relic ring on a pet cat's tail won't turn it into a cat girl, it will only hurt your pet."

Megan on the side noticed the movement here, so she warned, and then added:

"The witch emperors of the Fifth Era have experimented. Cat girls are not produced in this way, and healthy people should not have unreasonable thoughts about their pet cats."

"Who do you take me for?"

Xia De, who was in a good mood, asked with a smile, and touched Miya's head a few times, and the cat obediently rubbed his hand.

After that, Xia De went to look at the box that Megan put on the windowsill.

The only relics inside were the ring, and other common items included three rolls of rolled banknotes—Caseric's crown and De Larion's gold pound, and three gems the size of pebbles— — Pretty good condition, some forged identification documents, an old single-shot pistol, and a palm-sized notebook.

Megan is flipping through the notebook:
"It seems that the things here are the escape routes that Earl Gaiman prepared for himself, but unfortunately he died before he could use them."

She turned back a few pages in the damp notebook, and raised her eyebrows in surprise:

"Here is his 'Adventure' experience, let me see. Oh, what a clichéd story, I went fishing alone in a rainy day, and then caught strange things in the lake, and thus got the chance to make a wish. What will he encounter? A relic? A demon? Or something more troublesome—like my ancestors?"

The sorceress made a small joke, Xia De thought for a while:
"There are such plots in many stories, but obviously he paid the price. I think it is not that simple to fall from a horse and die. It is hard to say where his soul eventually went. It seems that although there are relics in his hand, Earl Gaiman is absolutely Not a ring magician, otherwise you should know common sense - don't make a wish lightly."

"Who knows?"

Megan doesn't care about this, after all, it was 50 years ago:
"I'll see if there is anything written about what happened to him. No, it's a pity."

Even though she said that, she didn't feel sorry at all, on the contrary, she was glad that she didn't have to be involved in other incidents.Looking at the smile on Xia De's face again, I feel that this trip this morning is really worthwhile.

"Let's go, now that the key has been obtained, didn't you say that you would invite me to dinner at noon? Oh, sir, I don't often accept invitations from others, please cherish this opportunity. I see that you are not very familiar with the Green Lake area either, Where are you taking me?"

As he spoke, he put the notebook back into the box, and then watched the box being turned into a toy by Xia De and put it away.She looked at Xia De with a smile, expecting what Xia De would do in her heart.

Shad already has an idea:

"Let's go to your boat, I will provide food."

"You want to cook yourself?"

Megan was a little surprised, Xia De shook his head, and was about to explain his expensive and impractical lazy thaumaturgy, but saw two figures from the window out of the corner of his eye.

When he noticed each other, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, also noticed the two standing by the window from a distance on the path.

Xia De sighed, and asked Megan suspiciously:

"Is there only these two people in the Mirror Association? Why can we meet them everywhere?"

It was just a joke at first, but Megan glanced at the black ring on her finger, and there was a faint light shining on the surface of the black stone ring.This was a relic, and it was the first time Xia De saw Megan wearing it, but he didn't ask much on the way here.

"It's not an accident, it's fate. The ring on my hand was lent to me by my friend with the thirteen rings. Although it is only a clerical grade, it can detect some traces of fate. The family prophecy said, All will be reunited, and that's the proof."

Megan said, also sighed lightly, and looked at her nephews standing on the path:
"Are you a cat or am I a cat? I hope to keep their misunderstanding of who you are."

Xia De glanced at Mia who was being held by him. The cat didn't know what was going to happen:
"I'll turn my cat into a toy, and then I'll turn into a cat again. It's uncontrollable to use potion to turn into a cat. If the potion doesn't work when you want to change back, you'll be in trouble."

"Alright."

Megan nodded, and didn't say that he, the potion master, actually had a way to end the effect of the potion early:

"Actually, your cat can be used as a toy. I don't find it troublesome to hold two cats."

"But I'd be troubled."

Xia De will never turn into a cat in front of Miya again.

So the two turned and left the window. When they came down the stairs, Little Mia was turned into a toy, Shad was turned into a silver cat again, and his belongings were temporarily kept by Megan.

When they came to the deformed gate frame of the mansion, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, had already arrived at the gate of the manor.Although they met in the bad-eyed Barry's territory in the city during the heavy rain not long ago, the two sides were quite unfriendly, but this time they did not immediately fight because of it.

Megan hugged the silver cat and asked Shad the question just now:
"Are you the only one in the Mirror Association who hides mirrors? How can you meet both of you everywhere?"

The two brothers also gave similar answers to Megan just now:

"We have to ask our ancestor Laplace Klein Howard about this point. Aunt, and uncle, what do you want to do here?"

It seems that they still misunderstood the relationship between Xia De and Megan.
