Whispering Poems

Chapter 1779 Exploring the Tomb
"I'll take care of the matter of Grace and Helen. They will follow Granny Cassandra to Green Lake soon. I know what to do. Now, we need more fragments of poems."

Xia De said softly, and Iluna took over the task:

"When I get to the Holy See next week, I will find a way. See you in Green Lake, Shad,"

"I'm thinking about whether I'm going to Green Lake too. Just like in Randall Valley, to help you."

Luvia spoke again, but was stopped by Shad and Iruna.Iluna felt that this time was more dangerous than last time. In addition to this reason, Xia De also because if Luvia also went to Green Lake, then there might be a certain period of time. The ancient cities clashed.

Although there is no evidence, Xia De always feels that when all five members of the group appear, something unexpected will happen.

Because Iluna will be leaving for another place soon, Shad, Iluna, Luvia and Dorothy had dinner together that night.Although Saturday afternoon was the exclusive date for the princess and the female writer, Dorothy did not feel that her time was being invaded, and she liked this loyal reader very much.

After dinner, Iluna and Luvia left, and Dorothy also smiled and said goodbye.At about seven o'clock, Rezia's carriage stopped at the gate of No. [-] Saint Teresa Square. Tonight is Her Royal Highness's time.

Due to the challenge of "loyalty" raised by "Desire" underwater on Wednesday night, Xia De has already set the target of his final enlightenment rune on the sixth ring as the "bell tower lover" who can achieve physical fusion.

So during evening class this evening, Shad posed a question to Rezia:
"Do you think I'm loyal?"

"It's an odd question."

Her Royal Highness, sitting on the inside of the desk, was playing with the pink "Vorosus Thorn":
"You want to ask, what is your loyalty to? Country? Race? Faith? Or love for a certain girl?"

While talking, he pointed the "weapon" in his hand at Mia, who was lying on the parchment of "The Bell Tower Lover" said to be 500 years ago. The cat did not dodge the weapon, and squinted lazily on its stomach squinting.

"Yes, there are so many points of loyalty. For love, do you think I am loyal?"

Xia De sat obediently on the chair outside the desk waiting for the "judgment". Rezia smiled and poked the cat with the "Eros Thorn". The orange cat let out a "meow" and got up and moved on the desk. Checked the location.

"Different people have different definitions of loyalty. I heard that the Viscountess La Maria who lives in the southern part of Tobesk has five or six young and handsome lovers, but the Viscount still thinks that his wife is devoted to family and love. Very loyal. Because she always cooks and prepares dinner for him herself.

"Oh, don't tease Little Mia."

Xia De picked up the cat that was about to be poked again, and Leiziya smiled and stopped teasing the cat:

"Viscountess Ramaria is a special case. If you look at the values ​​that people can accept, of course you are not loyal to love, my knight. But loyalty is also relative. I am not particularly demanding of loyalty. After all, if you're really very loyal, Dorothy and I haven't had a chance to answer a question for me."

She pointed to the storybook with illustrations spread out on the table.This story is also "Lovers in the Bell Tower", but it is for children who have just learned to read. Therefore, compared with the stories Shade knows, the cuts are larger. The final ending is not "the fusion of the knight and the lover's corpse", but home The knight found that his lover was seriously ill, so he found the witch in the forest, exchanged his own arm for the elixir, and finally embraced the recovered girl tightly in the bell tower when they parted.

Rezia asked:
"Shad Hamilton, if one day I am really in danger, are you willing to risk your life to save me?"

Xia De nodded immediately:

"Of course I do, I won't let go no matter what."

"Look, so at least I think you're loyal."

She retracted the pink crystal spike in front of her body, and poked her chest:

"Speaking of which, 'loyalty' is indeed one of the qualities that knights need to have. Are you doubting your knighthood?"

She smiled and pierced the thorn into her heart, then opened her right hand, and in the pink halo, clusters of crystals grew into blooming flowers.

"I'm not doubting this, I'm thinking about the ending of 'Clock Tower Lovers', emulating the power of the story to simulate becoming one with the girl."

After finishing speaking, I felt that there seemed to be some problems with this sentence. Sure enough, the red-haired girl teased with bright eyes:

"If you want to 'unify', you don't need to pursue supernatural power. You can experience it tonight."

Seeing Xia De's embarrassing appearance, she smiled again and inserted the crystal flower in her ear:
"I see what you mean, Mysuo-Belfry Lovers, isn't it? Miracles made possible by love, that's how wonderful the story is. I'll help you, Shad, and Dorothy and I will. Only if you If you succeed, can you promise me one thing?"

"what?"

He asked curiously, Her Royal Highness raised the corners of her lips:

"At that time, you must open your fan lock, and I also want to experience how it feels to integrate with you in another way. At that time, will you become me, or will I become you? Or, is it some other strange appearance?"

That night, Rezia did not leave at Saint Teresa Square, and now the attention of the entire kingdom is focused on the Green Lake area, and His Majesty the King who stayed in Tobesk is also very busy with negotiations, so Rezia Spend the night here at Shad and no one will notice.

However, the blond writer, who was obviously not present tonight but still very involved, has not forgotten that Rezia let her sleep until noon last week.It's hard to say whether this is to "revenge" Rezia, or just to make the Saturday date more passionate. In short, Her Royal Highness almost didn't get up early on Sunday morning.When her maids left with the sleepy princess, they all looked at Shad strangely.

Shad hoped that no strange rumors would come out afterward.

After breakfast, I sighed that I didn't use the black time key last night, and then said goodbye to Miya who was unwilling to move, and went to Green Lake from the basement.

He still entered the alley from the back door of the Green Lake Hotel. Green Lake is still foggy today, and the smell in the alley behind the hotel is still the same.In the distance, the loud shouts of the parade people can be heard. In the background of the light yellow sky, there are sparse black chimneys spewing black smoke into the sky.

This time Shade didn't just put down the food and leave, but talked with the boy John he was already familiar with:
"I want to find you a job, yes, a job. Although it may not be paid, it includes food and housing, and it is very warm in winter."

Xia De hasn't decided whether to ask Megan or Galina to help, but even if they are asked to help, it will be after the Green Lake incident is over, and the boy will not be involved.

"John, would you like to go to work?"

The dirty boy hugged his puppy, sat on the lid of the trash can and raised his head to ask Xia De:
"Can I keep raising him?"

"Wang~"

The scrawny puppy also barked at Xia De. It was estimated to be older than Mia, but it didn't look smart.

"of course."

Xia De nodded affirmatively, and the boy also nodded quickly:
"I do, I do."

"Okay, but it will take a while. Strange things may have happened in the Green Lake area recently. You can continue with your life, but never go to strange places. Remember to come back and rest at night, and tell me at any time if you encounter strange things. Me, or leave a note."

Although the boy is illiterate, he can draw.

The boy then nodded:

"Yes, sir."

He jumped down from the trash can and wanted to bow to Xia De to thank him, but Xia De stopped him:
"After I have arranged your affairs, you can thank me again. Then we will see you next time, and I wish you luck."

"Luck to you too, sir."

He hugged the puppy and watched Xia De walk away in the alley until he disappeared completely.

Today is Sunday, and there is another banquet at the south bank of Green Lake tonight, and Shad intends to attend.But during the day, we should deal with the things in hand first, such as the bones of the Edwards.

Mr. Soren Green was on duty at the Green Lake Hotel this morning. After listening to Shad's request, he said that there was no problem, but he still wrote to Megan first.

The reply came back soon. Megan and Audrey had something to deal with this morning and were unable to participate in this investigation, so Shad was asked to take action.Therefore, Shad left the Green Lake Hotel at nine o'clock in the morning, and took a carriage to the Green Lake Public Cemetery according to the address of the cemetery given by Mr. Soren Green.

It is worth mentioning that, as a relatively ancient lakeside city, the funeral traditions in the Green Lake area are different from those in other areas.In addition to the traditional burial and cremation, people here also have the habit of sinking the bodies of the deceased into Green Lake.Even before the central island of Green Lake was covered in fog, some citizens insisted on sending the dead to the island for burial, but today, these traditions can only be heard in echoes of the past.

Soren Green and Helena Green are the sixth generation of the Edwards family. Their father, Mr. Green, and their grandmother, Miss Maria Edwards, are buried here.Among them, the youngest daughter of the fourth generation left a request before her death, using a traditional water burial to hold her funeral, hoping that she could return to her hometown that was destined to be impossible to return to, so Maria Edwards' body could no longer be found.

When Xia De went to the cemetery this time, he could only visit the grave of the old gentleman named "Nicholas Green".
