Whispering Poems

Now there are less than sixty hours before the Edwards family dinner written in the invitation letter on Wednesday night.Even though it was still raining heavily outside, no one could stop to rest.

The good news is that the drainage system of Green Lake City near the lake is quite good. Even though the city is old, the ancient sewer system still plays a very good role.This morning, the six great witches gathered at the Green Lake Hotel to discuss with Shad, Iluna, and Luvia about plans for Wednesday night.

Not only did they bring the items corresponding to the power of the ancient gods prepared for Durut Gilles and Ruster Edwards, but they also handed over the letter of [Dragon Feast Order] to Shad.

The meeting time for the cultists to meet with the "God Caller" is exactly [-] o'clock this evening. If it rains, the venue will be the Dog Bark Tavern in Black Dog Lane, a slum in the southeast of Green Lake City.If it doesn't rain tonight, the location is on the first floor of the Railway Station Hotel, northeast of the Mikaela Blast City Railway Station.

When meeting, the representative of [Longxiang Cult] will have a silver dragon head-shaped brooch on his chest, while the "God Caller" needs to wear two gold and silver rings to appear.

"According to divination, although this rain will not be so heavy all the time, it will not stop at least until the weekend. This is not ordinary rain, it is caused by an abnormal space phenomenon caused by space cracks. Therefore, it will definitely rain tonight .”

Luvia, who is a fortune teller, said after learning the contents of the letter, and the witches asked Shad if he needed other people to accompany him to meet the cultists.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

The city-wide blockade that started yesterday morning was lifted in the early hours of this morning.On this rainy Monday, the citizens of the city continued their lives in silence, but everyone could smell the atmosphere that was even more terrifying than during the negotiations.

De la Rion and Carson Rico, both on the headlines of newspapers on Monday, publicly condemned Sunday's egregious assassination and offered their views on yesterday's clashes on the border between the two countries.

Now the armies of the two countries are gathering towards the Green Lake area. At the same time, the royal families of the two countries have also publicly stated that they will temporarily recall the negotiating delegations to protect the safety of the negotiating representatives.

While the two countries have been slow to negotiate, they have moved quickly on the withdrawal of negotiators from the Green Lake area.When Miss Galina came here with Tifa in the rain this morning, she said that their luggage had already been packed, and they would leave for Tobesk by train tomorrow morning.

"I'm finally free to go to those pointless meetings every day."

The Duchess is quite happy about this, but she won't really leave.At that time, not only she will stay secretly, but all the maids including Tifa, Rezia and even Agelina will also stay.

Rezia stayed because Xia De was worried that she would come back even if she left, and Agelina stayed because Miss Galina wanted her to see the world and figure it out before she really awakened. Once she became a Witch Apprentice, she What exactly is there to face.

Similarly, although Margaret will nominally return to Willendale with the negotiating delegation, she will actually stay with Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Battle of the lake.

It will take two or three days for both parties to return to the capital by steam train.During this period, the Battle of Green Lake happened to be completed, and after the space stabilized, Miss Sylvia directly opened the portal to send everyone back.

Of course, this is the best case scenario.But if the situation in the Battle of Green Lake is not ideal, the big witches naturally have their own different plans.

For the city and ordinary people, they don't know the reason for all this, they can only feel that the atmosphere of the city is more terrifying and depressing.During lunch, Xia De also discussed the news in the newspaper this morning and the military operations in the Green Lake area with all the witches at the dining table.

Although the current mobilization of troops is to cover up the many actions of the church in the future, no one can guarantee that the two countries will really be peaceful.After all, the negotiations have not yet been completed and will end temporarily. Even if De La Rion and Carson Rico will definitely not take any action before Wednesday, once the Green Lake incident is over and the church will no longer interfere in the affairs of the two countries, the next thing will really happen. It's hard to say.

Clouds hang over the Green Lake area. Although the great witch will not come to Green Lake City immediately during the time of the council due to the unanimous opposition of the witches, the council still attaches great importance to the safety of Megan and Audrey.Knowledge information, spell-casting materials, potions, alchemy items, and even relics, the great witch of time opened the treasures of the council to the six witches in Green Lake City.

Therefore, some interesting and possibly useful relics were also sent to the Green Lake Hotel on this day.

After lunch, just after Xia De finished reading the secret letter of [Dragon Food Sect], Audrey smiled and took Xia De's hand to the basement:
"Come with me, there are important things to do, related to the arrangements of the parliament."

The dim light of the ritual operation keeps the basement from being dark at all. Compared with when vegetables and food were stored in the past, the area of ​​the basement seems to have become larger now.Audrey asked the girls guarding the core of the ceremony to leave temporarily. Xia De was curious about what she wanted to say, but Audrey turned around and hugged and kissed him.

Xia De didn't know if she had something on her mind when she suddenly pulled him here, but he still responded to the enthusiastic girl.

And when the kiss ended, Audrey smiled and explained the reason:
"Xia De, did you notice something was wrong just now?"

Shad thought for a moment:
"Well, what exactly are you referring to. Are you actually someone else pretending to be?"

"Sure enough, it was a success."

Audrey said, and then Shad heard a voice coming from the wall of the basement.Then, a cabinet standing by the wall was opened, and Miss Galina came out from it.

The cabinet looked like a wooden wardrobe, and standing there was completely unattractive. Shade didn't even notice that there was this piece of furniture here before the Duchess appeared.It's just that when he noticed the wardrobe, a strange feeling appeared immediately.In Xia De's view, even if this kind of cabinet is opened, it is definitely not surprising that an evil spirit rushes out.This thing is something that only exists in horror novels.

What surprised him even more was that Miss Galina had obviously been in the closet just now, but he didn't notice anything, and even the heat level of the badge on the chest only increased after the closet was opened.

"Audrey, I just remember that you told me to hide inside, and then asked Xia De to come over and see if he could find me. I don't remember, you asked me to watch you kiss inside."

The Duchess was aggressive, but Audrey said with a smile:

"This way the test is more accurate. You see, Shad really didn't find it."

Saying that, without giving the Duchess a chance to continue complaining, he took Shad by the hand and introduced the cabinet:
"Secretkeeper-level relic - [hide and seek wardrobe]. Open it and hide it in. People inside can look outside through the door crack of the wardrobe, and can also hear the sound outside. It is difficult for people outside to notice the inside of this cabinet. Someone, and at the same time, the cabinet itself has a thaumaturgic effect similar to your transformation into an angel statue, so it is difficult to attract the attention of others."

Audrey opened the self-closing cabinet door again, letting Xia De see that there is nothing in it now:
"Although it is only at the Keeper level, this is a top-notch hidden relic. Although it is hidden in the cabinet, you cannot cast spells in any way, and you are not allowed to interfere with the outside world in any way. You can only watch and listen, and the cabinet has no defenses. power, but otherwise has few drawbacks."

"Don't forget the negative characteristics. Once the cabinet is opened, it will actively attract people to climb in and then close the door. While hiding in the cabinet, you will also involuntarily have the idea of ​​'it's dangerous outside, just hide here, never go out'. "

The red-haired duchess folded her hands on her chest and said, although she was a little angry at Audrey's behavior just now, she didn't care about this little joke:
"This is a relic kept by the Council, and it is said to be a creation of the Fourth Era. One day, a child playing hide-and-seek hid in an old wardrobe that had been abandoned for a long time and fell asleep, and the servant accidentally blocked it with debris. The door of the closet was blocked. When people opened the closet in the basement, the children inside had turned into mummies."

The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled:
"Do these relics have such a strange origin story?"

There are no scratches on the inner wall of the cabinet, but there is an indelible sentence written with a pen on the top:
[The world is dangerous, stay and hide with me. 】

"I doubt if there is still Audrey the Wraith attached to it. You mean, let me hide here and go to the island with you? But is this closet too big?"

Xia De asked the witch next to him again, and Audrey shook her head:
"You have to try all the methods. You can hide from sight by turning into a stone statue, so after turning into a stone statue and hiding it, the security will be even higher. Whether I can carry this wardrobe is hard to say now, but I will definitely try it. no problem."

"We have prepared three relics with similar functions, and the other two are still on the way to be delivered. They will arrive this evening or tomorrow morning. Don't underestimate the background of the council, Shade, the council must be more powerful than you think."

Miss Galina also said, Xia De nodded, held the cat on his shoulder that was about to scurry into the closet, and took two steps back to look at it.It would be perfect if the wardrobe could be smaller.But the size, size, and appearance of relics have always been difficult to change, which is the basic rule of these items with attached whisper elements.Otherwise, Xia De would have thought of a way to shrink the [Night Watchman] so that he could carry it anytime.

"Is there any way to deal with it? I mean, if someone uses this relic against us, how will we find this wardrobe?"

He asked casually again, and Audrey, who knew more about this relic, thought about it:
"This wardrobe can only be used for eavesdropping and peeping, so even if it is used, it is not dangerous to us. As for finding it, it is very simple. For ring magicians who know this relic, they only need to concentrate and not be distracted." Heart, if you touch it a few times, you will gradually be able to resist its effects to a certain extent. After all, it is only at the keeper level."

PS: Remember this wardrobe. Laugh.
