Whispering Poems

Chapter 3224: Devil Sword: Sword Heir Mother's Nest
"Meow!"

The silver wolf running among the tombstones was ultimately unable to return to the stone house. Shad left while maintaining his Transfiguration form, so when he rushed out of the bedroom door of Room No. 2, he was of course still in the form of a silver wolf.

Mia immediately came over meowing, but before she jumped in front of the silver wolf, the maid who had been waiting here for three seconds had already picked up the beautiful silver wolf with a smile.

Shad turned back into human form in her arms, so she turned into Tifa hugging his neck affectionately.

The maid looked at Xia De with her smiling eyes for a moment, and then gently kissed Xia De on the side of his face - this would prevent the strong smell of perfume from being left behind:
"Welcome back, Shade."

"Meow!"

Cats just want to know when it's time to eat.

Breakfast started quickly, but there was one more person at the table than expected, Sylvia, who came in a hurry to collect the "travel fee". She said she would come earlier yesterday, but unexpectedly she showed up at a little after seven o'clock.

However, the maids always had some extra breakfast left over, so even if Sylvia came, she would have food to eat. During breakfast, Shad briefly described what he had seen and heard in the Tombstone Wasteland.

Now both the witch and Luvia are high-level/high-level, and there are no gods officially appearing in the story yet, so he doesn't have to avoid any details.

They had all heard of Theresa from Shade before, and this was the third time Shade had met her in the past, so the girls were not surprised. As for the god of the grave known as the "King of Bones", the ladies had of course heard of it, but this was the first time they had heard of the kingdom of the grave.

As for the matter of the "corpse tree" that Xia De asked about, the three of them shook their heads:

"The relic has been destroyed. Who would study it? It's pointless."

This is also the reason why Xia De had clearly seen the tree, but did not investigate it afterwards and still doesn't know much about it - he didn't expect that he would encounter the same relic again after a year and a half.

"But if that god is really in his own kingdom, what are you going to do, Shade?"

Luvia asked as she stirred her oatmeal. She was worried about this. This worry was justified. The Tree Father didn't want Shade to burn his divinity in the past. This would cause a big problem.

So if that god really appeared, Shade would most likely not be able to transform into a god. But he didn't know the god's attitude towards his group yet, so his current idea was to find an exit as soon as possible and leave.

I didn't see Danister last night, so Shade will go to St. Byrons before heading to the Snow Mountain. Sylvia is of course happy to wait for Shade, and Carina asked him with a smile at the table:
"Don't forget about that nun. Shade, are you going to tell Sister Develyn that you met the nun from the Fifth Age?"

Luvia also laughed:

"I remember the last time he obtained the ancient nun's secret fire technique from another fire-wielding nun in the Fifth Era, yes, that is, the [Eternal Fire Seal], Sister Defulin didn't seem very happy - Flora said so. So what about this time? Shade met other nuns directly."

"I want to make it clear that I did not accept power from others this time."

Shade said immediately, and then spoke for Sister Defulin:

"And don't think of Sister Defulin as a mean person."

Luvia, Carina and Sylvia all laughed. Sister Devlin certainly didn't care how many girls were around Shad, but she definitely cared how many nuns were around him.

It often takes several generations for a fire-bearing nun to find a fire-bearer who can share the pain of being burned by the flames with her. Sharing the flame means sharing the soul that contains the flame. Although Shade has not fully realized this, Luvia understands it very well.

Another incident happened during breakfast. Because Shade was taken away by Carina and Luvia for morning exercise, it was the maids who went to get the goat milk, letters, and newspapers. Among the letters sent home that day, there was actually a letter from the New World:

"Wrong address? My friend from the New World. It was forwarded from Yuewan. Mr. Albert forwarded it to me at this address."

After opening the letter and seeing the signature "John Flynn", Shad realized the origin of the letter.

John Flynn is the holder of the [Sword of the Wind King]. We first met him when the team was on a mission to escort the relics last spring. Later, during the Moon Bay incident, he also appeared as a candidate with his team, and used the holy sword to play an outstanding role in the battle against the evil god.

John Flynn and his teammates belong to the New World Mutual Aid Society, an organization of ring sorcerers rooted in the New World. This letter is a holiday greeting letter they sent before the end of the year.

Because the true identity of the "God Summoner" was unknown, the letter was first sent to the blood-sucking coroner of Yuewan, and then forwarded to Shade by Mr. Albert. Judging from the postmark, the letter arrived in Yuewan after the end of the year, so Shade saw the letter so late:
"What kind of postal service did they choose? This letter was mailed on the eighth day of the Sleeping Moon. As I recall, the average mail delivery time between the west coast of the Old World and the east coast of the New World is 10 to 14 days."

Carina explained to him while spreading jam on the bread:
"Recently, the navies of the two countries have been confronting each other near the Kingdom of the Islands. That is the shortest route between the New World and the Old World. I think this incident has influenced your letter."

She mentioned another thing:

"When we were soaking in the hot springs at the end of the year, didn't I tell you that Grand Duke Lagerson was interested in mediating the conflict between the two countries? Now that the war between the Principality of Set and the Principality of Milson in the Pantanal region has entered a tense state, the two kingdoms are thinking of contacting each other as soon as possible to see each other's attitude, so as to facilitate military operations after the spring."

"You're being sent to the Principality of Lagersen? Are you so lucky that you can be with Shade again?"

Sylvia asked Karina in surprise, but the red-haired witch shook her head:

“I will definitely not be allowed to attend such a fruitless meeting or negotiation, and Leisia will not be involved.

Delarion sent representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military to attend the meeting, and one of Resia's brothers accompanied the royal family. Even if a full-scale war broke out in the Old Continent after the spring, the two sides still had to maintain channels for communication.

My nephew dispatched a fleet from the Kingdom of the Isles to escort them from Coldwater Harbor, sailing counterclockwise around the Old Continent, and entering the Principality of Lagerson from the Falling Star Bay, so that they don't have to pass through the territory of the United Kingdom of Carsenrick. Although it hasn't been reported in the newspapers yet, they are expected to arrive in the Principality next week."

"Will the representatives of the two countries meet in the capital of the principality, Lomare City, or in Fatumunster City?"

Luvia asked with concern, and Karina shook her head:
"It's not confirmed yet, just don't let it affect Shade. After all, the Principality of Lagsen is too far away from Tobesk, and I haven't heard of anyone going there recently."

After breakfast, Shade immediately set off for the academy. He was worried that Danister would not be there again, but fortunately, when he arrived at the center of the library, the administrator was leisurely drinking morning tea:

"I had a night class and a lab class last night. After class, I went to the observatory. It was midnight when I saw your note."

She stood up and gently hugged Xia De, then took his hand and asked him to sit down. She sniffed and was very happy that she didn't smell any other perfume. She gave Xia De a kiss with the taste of black tea, as an apology for last night:
"But I have already checked the information you asked me to look up. There are not many relics that can be called 'demon swords', but each one is extremely dangerous. There is actually only one relic that meets the characteristics you mentioned - the angel-level relic [Sword Heir Nest], or the [Germora's Heir Cradle]."

Although she was still holding Xia De's hand, her expression became serious:

"Be careful with this relic. The origin of this sword can be traced back to the First Era. There is very little information about it in the academy. The witch predecessors of the Fifth Era wrote down the most severe warning: it is highly lethal, uncontrollable, and there is a risk of proliferation and contamination."

"The academy doesn't know the specific characteristics of the sword?"

"Yes. We have never contained the sword. We only know that the sword itself has consciousness and can control the holder. And after it hurts certain specific people, it will cause those with special talents to have metal features in their bodies."

The administrator gently kneaded Shade's big hand with her small hand. These evidences basically showed that the "magic sword" was not the demon that the doctor was looking for:
“Although Saint Byrons doesn’t know about the sword, I know who has the information about the Sword Heir Nest.

Don't you have good friends among the vampires? In the Fourth Epoch, the vampires had mastered the sword for five hundred years. Even after the sword was out of their hands, a vampire clan called the Gelmora Clan still remained, which possessed special talents different from ordinary vampire clans.

Go and consult your friends, but do not touch the sword directly unless necessary."

Xia De then thanked the administrator for her help with a kiss, and then talked about the time key this morning.

[Corpse Tree] With the help of Gina Angela Sewell, it has been burned to slag, and has no subsequent research value. So if you want to know the situation of the tree, you can only find the major organizations that once housed the relic.

St. Byrons did have a detailed containment report on the Corpse Tree, but after hearing Shade's request, Danister did not immediately fetch the containment record:
"The Sukses Higher Medical School knows the most about this relic. I will write to them on behalf of the school. You will not need this information until a week at the earliest, so there will be results before then."

Shade suspected that the information might have been left by Theresa and Miss Violet. They were the closest to the Sixth Era, so theoretically they must have left the most information.
"As for the matter of the old god [God of the Grave and the King of Skeletons], please help me look up some information. However, I have a friend who should know that god very well, so the focus of the academy's investigation is still on the magic sword and the [Corpse Tree] for the time being."
