Whispering Poems

Chapter 1791 Love lock and warning

There was not much time left in the morning, as it took some time to visit Mrs. Lemaire north of the city.So, Xia De spent the time before lunch in the sacrificial field.In addition to the cold weapon fighting training with Sister Devlin, he also mentioned that he saw "desire" again, and introduced the magic technique of Eros believers - the thorn of Eros.

[Spiritual Religion] is very good at using soul-type spells and thaumaturgy, so Sister Divelin has a lot of different views on this thaumaturgy than Xia De.As for the pink crystal soul spell after the girls used "The Thorn of Love", she also selected a few books for Xia De, and let Xia De take them back to teach those girls.

As for the three "God of Eros" believers who specialize in "spirit, flesh, and lust", Xia De felt that they were "magical", but Sister Divelin had a different opinion:

"The god of love is also known as the 'lock of hearts'. Is love precious because it is rare, or is it really important? The three remaining believers of the old god don't seem to think about this question, they are just appearances Yes, they want to lock the feelings between people through their own methods. They have not touched the core of the soul."

Sister Divelin, who seemed to have no experience in love, said something that Shad didn't like to comment on.He is not a master of soul spells, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of the deep meaning that Sister Devlin wants to express, but Xia De was still taken aback by the words in this sentence:
"Love lock?"

Memories of his hometown suddenly jumped into his head, and he thought of a story of destruction and despair because of greed and desire.This story is very interesting, because Shade thinks of himself.It's just that he doesn't have the spell of love-locking. Although he is also so greedy, he knows what love is, loves others, and loves himself. He has never violated the wishes and expectations of any girl around him.

Even, his hard work and struggle all the time, in addition to the ultimate goal of ascending to the gods, is also for the future so that the family can get along well and live a comfortable life.

At this moment, the outsider felt as if he understood something.Sister Davelyn didn't give any advice. She knew that the "hero who bears the fire" she chose could always see her heart clearly, and Xia De, who was good at reflecting on her every step, would eventually figure it out.

Xia De still went to the Cassandra Auction House in Midhill Castle with the nun to have lunch, and when she followed the nun to leave the sacrificial ground, "she" was still in Shad's ear, and smiled and proposed to the pensive outsider. One possibility:
[What would happen if Sister Divelin stabbed the thorn of Cupid into her chest just now? 】

"Oh, how can you insult this venerable nun?"

Xia De thought in his heart, and quietly glanced at Sister Devlin's back, feeling that it was his fault to have such thoughts.

Granny Cassandra, Sister Divelin, Grace, Helen and Miss Swift will be leaving for the Green Lake area later in the week.Granny Cassandra took great pride in borrowing a steam airship from the Church of Creation.

Therefore, their travel time will be very short.As a large-scale chain auction house in the native Delarion Kingdom, the business power represented by Granny Cassandra clearly supports Delarion.

At lunch, Grace and Helen informed Shad of their travel plans.As for the two of them leaving the range of Fort Midhill and Mount Xikale in a short period of time, they relied on a clerical-level (level 4) relic [Undead Wax Stone].

The original function of this wax stone is only to use it to mark the body, so that it can achieve a certain degree of "immortality" for a period of time.In fact, the effect is only better than Xia De's "False Immortality".

And this relic can allow the Red Butterfly girls to temporarily leave Midhill Castle, because since the battle of Midhill Castle last year, they sent this relic into the temporarily sealed life and death narrow room—— They sealed the two eras in the narrow space, so there is naturally a way to re-enter.

The power of the unknowable relic infects this wax stone, giving it some of the characteristics of the narrow space for a short time.Although this directly caused the loss of control of the relic, this loss of control is nothing to the angel-level relic [Red Butterfly Twins].

With this special wax stone, Grace and Helen can leave Midhill Castle for a maximum of two months.But as a price, for a long time afterwards, they could no longer leave Mibao through special means like this time.

After lunch, Xia De chatted with Grace and Helen alone:
"You know the old god, the ruler of gold, right? The god of commerce and wealth?"

The Red Butterfly girls naturally nodded, but Xia De didn't ask too many details:
"What is your biggest impression of this god? Yes, you just need to answer this question.

Grace, who was wearing a white gauze dress, answered first:
"Very abide by the contract and agreement, so the believers of this great one also have a very good reputation."

Then Helen in black dress replied:
"It's hard for us mortals to define a great person by the kindness or malice defined by human beings. But what is certain is that this god of business and wealth will not refuse to make a deal with anyone who has a bargaining chip .”

She is sure of it:

"A large part of our memory of the fifth era has been sealed, but I still remember that in my solitary life after I strangled my sister and threw her body into the pass of Mount Xikal, I had contact with disciple of the Great One, and have heard two different stories."

Helen stretched out her first finger:
"In order to let his elderly wife live past midnight that day and let their marriage pass the 60-year threshold, the man used his remaining life as a bargaining chip to continue his wife's short life. After the midnight bell struck, Aged couples reverted to the way they first met when they were [-] or [-] years old, and after drinking wine together, they died together."

"It's a very romantic story. The mortals gave what they could, and the gods also brought them miracles."

Xia De commented like this, and Helen stretched out a second finger:

"After the two died, the neighbor, who was jealous of their happy marriage, used his remaining life as a bargaining chip to bring the dead old woman back to life and live alone in this world. So this deal was also fulfilled, I saw with my own eyes that gray-haired, nearly 80-year-old woman kneeling in front of the grave and crying bitterly. After all these years, I still remember that scene.”

Speaking of this, Helen was still a little sad, and Grace hugged her gently.

"This"

Shad couldn't comment.

"The transaction is ruthless. As long as there are enough chips and a way to conduct the transaction is found, [Gold Master] will not refuse any transaction. It is fair and ruthless, and sometimes you have to be careful of the traps in the transaction terms. Helen and I are in awe and even We are afraid of such a god, so we have not had any transactions with this great one and their believers."

Grace said softly, and then asked tentatively:

"So sir, you have met in the past."

Xia De nodded cautiously:

"You don't need to worry about this, I will take care of it."

"Then allow us to give you a piece of advice."

The girls said quite seriously:

"Small wishes need chips like rice grains, and big wishes need chips like mountains. But if it is not necessary, please do not make any transactions. Transactions are just shortcuts. We could have realized our wishes with our own hands. Those It is possible to obtain things by ourselves, absolutely, absolutely not to pray to the gods."

Two pairs of beautiful blue eyes looked at Xia De together:

"Mortals should not expect to be rescued by the gods. The only ones who can save us are ourselves and ourselves"

Their hands were held together, and in the light of the flying red butterflies, they turned into seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.The girl in a black and white veil got up and kissed Xia De's side face lightly:

". You who travel through time. May you save everything."

Back home after lunch, because Xia De prepared lunch for Mia in advance before going out, the cat at home is in a state of lunch break at this time. "Meow~" for a while.

After Xia De returned home, he found a letter thrown into the hall from the delivery port in front of the door.There was no stamp on the letter, and it was only after opening that it was a message from Dr. Schneider.He came to visit Shad in the morning and was going to take the train to the Green Lake area in the afternoon.Since Xia De was not at home, he left a letter asking him to wait in Green Lake.

This time, "Maze Demon-Yaru" is far less powerful than "Stone Mirror Demon-Goethe", so the focus is not on how to win, but on finding the opponent's hidden real body.The doctor has made three detailed plans for this, and will continue to make more plans and plans during the next short train journey.He'd arrive at Lake Green about Wednesday evening, and if things went well, he'd be able to settle the demon thing this weekend.

"The doctor is really professional."

Since the appearance of Laplace Klein Howard on the night of the lunar eclipse last Wednesday, Shad's investigation of the Green Lake area has slowed down.Now that the witches have arrived at Green Lake, they have also taken action, so Xia De did not go to the Green Lake area to investigate this afternoon, but dealt with the trivial matters at the beginning of the month in Tobesk, and in this leisurely afternoon, Finished writing a thesis entitled "Conjecture and Translation of Unsolved Texts in the Early Fifth Epoch".

In the evening, I took Mia to find Dorothy, and after a leisurely dinner together, I returned home alone, and spent the night before going to bed reading a book.

This kind of occasional rest can relax the mind very well, so when Shade opened his eyes on Tuesday morning, he actually woke up earlier than the cat beside the pillow.

One day of leisure is enough, and the witches in the Green Lake area are also looking forward to Shade's reappearance.So this Tuesday, he returned to the Green Lake area.As for today's action plan, it is to deal with the "task list" given by Miss Galina, which he thinks he can handle.

The witch's task list is very long, and she doesn't know what kind of future the witch of time has peeped into.Some of the simpler tasks—such as commissioning a blacksmith or asking a local detective to help find a cat—can be done by ordinary people.The more difficult tasks include but are not limited to dealing with some difficult relics, and even rushing into the church at night to steal the oil paintings on the walls.

　PS: At the end of this volume, there will be many explosive truths, about Shade's origin, world view, etc., will be further revealed.

Of course, Miss Isabella, the speaker, will also make a real appearance in a way that you can't imagine.This volume is a turning point, related to the ending of the book, and I can't wait to write it myself.
