Whispering Poems

Chapter 3225 Kyle-Todd Town

Danister had classes to attend at ten in the morning, so she didn't try to keep Shad. She just reminded Shad not to forget that this month's "assessment" had not yet taken place.

After saying goodbye to Danister, Shade returned home. It was not yet eight o'clock, and although Luvia had gone out to work, Carina was still at home chatting with Sylvia.

After hearing that Xia De still had to go to Yuewan and would be back in about half an hour, Sylvia waved her hand and told him to go and come back quickly:
"Now I finally understand how busy you are. You've only just finished your vacation and entered the second day, but you're already so busy this early in the morning."

It was snowing in Yuewan City on this Tuesday. Although Shade did not make an appointment in advance, he still went directly to the morgue at the end of Spider Alley to see Mr. Albert who was handling a corpse.

Less than a week after the New Year's Eve, the coroner looked no different than before the holiday.

After Shade briefly explained the matter of the magic sword [Sword Heir Nest], Mr. Albert, who was talking to Shade while dissecting the sailor's body, shook his head regretfully:

"I'm sorry. Although I'm also a high-level vampire, you know my experiences over the years. I've been out of touch with the clan for a long time. During the Moon Bay incident, the clan only contacted me through Armand, not directly. I'll send a letter to Armand. He's still in Willendel now, and he will definitely be able to find out about the sword."

"Then I'll trouble you and Mr. Bernhardt, but have you heard of that sword before?"

Xia De asked again, and the coroner, who was wearing a mask and a gown, nodded, took out the contents of the corpse's stomach, put them in a jar and prepared to weigh them:

“You should know that the sword can only exert its most dangerous properties on people with certain special physiques. It can control the body of the wielder, so don’t touch it directly, and don’t let your blood stain the sword.

As for the Gelmora clan, I also know about it. They don't have any clan members in Willendel, but when I was studying in the capital, I heard from my fellow clansmen that the blood-sucking species of the Gelmora clan have the unique talent of "blood becomes sword".

As for the man you mentioned who has undergone physical changes."

He paused:
"Give me five minutes. Once I've dealt with the body, I'll give you a way to temporarily control the victim's current condition. But if you really want to cure him completely, I'm afraid you need to know the specific characteristics of the sword first. Let's wait and see Armand's reply."

"Are you going to use the vampire method?"

"No, it is the power of the chosen one."

Although the ancient god [Dragon of Light] is not the "Sword God", because the artifact "Sword of Light" was forged by the ancient god himself, the artifact can theoretically suppress other sword weapons, especially those that conflict with the characteristics of the "Sword of Light" itself.

Mr. Albert did not let Shade take away [Blood Sorrow] directly. Instead, he took some unknown blood and poured the blood on [Blood Sorrow].

He activated the power of the holy sword, allowing it to be temporarily upgraded to a divine weapon, and the blood on the sword was stained with light in the process. Mr. Albert then collected the glowing blood and simply mixed it with the other two bottles of magic potions he stored in the underground alchemy laboratory, and then handed it to Shade:

"Remember, 'Holy Blood' is not a potion to be drunk. It is for external use. Use this blood to sprinkle on the victim's original wound. If the wound has been dug out, sprinkle on the place closest to the wound. Use one tenth of it each time, once a day, and there shouldn't be any major problems within ten days."

Although he was unable to obtain specific information about the magic sword directly, he was able to temporarily suppress the injuries of the "Magic Potion Merchant" and allow him to regain consciousness. Perhaps he could find the magic sword through him.

Shade had already determined that the sword had nothing to do with the devil, but since it was a rare case of an angel-level relic going out of control, he decided to get involved. Once the problem was solved, he could at least gain the friendship of the Fatu people at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

After returning home with the small bottle of "holy blood", Shad and Sylvia said goodbye to Carina and Mia, and then set out for the woods together, and then went from the woods to the top of the snow-capped mountain.

It was already half past eight in the morning, and the meeting time agreed between Shade and Elder Harald was before ten o'clock. There seemed to be a lot of time left, but seeing that Shade was so tired so early in the morning, Sylvia asked tentatively:

"You can rest in the tower for a while before setting off. I was just joking about the travel expenses. I'm not that kind of girl."

Although she said this, her eyes still revealed her inner thoughts. Xia De, who was used to this kind of busy life, smiled and said:

"Luvia has to be on duty at the Prophet's Society tonight, and Carina also said that she won't come to my place if she has something else to do. Dorothy is working on her manuscript, so how about you come to my place? Then you don't have to get up so early tomorrow and run to the woods."

Sylvia nodded immediately, and as for this morning's "travel expenses", Xia De, who was very honest, of course paid the full amount.

Of course, when the two of them appeared hand in hand in the portal room on the second floor at 9:30, Xia De did not forget to ask her whether the existence of this tower would have an impact on the "Holy Mountain":
"The ring sorcerers in the city and the priests at the foot of the snow mountain are all saying that we should not easily affect the snow mountain, otherwise we will be in trouble."

"It sounds like some kind of feudal superstition. But it doesn't matter. The teacher told me that the senior witch who originally moved this tower to this island has solved all the problems. We can just live here without worry. What time should I go to your house tonight?"

She asked with a smile, determined to make up for what she lacked compared to Carina, Megan and Vanessa.

Of course, the map that Elder Harald gave to Shad did not include the location of the Witch Tower, so Shad did not know how to reach the village at the foot of the mountain directly from the tower.

If time permitted, he wouldn't mind exploring the snowy mountains, but unfortunately he didn't have time today, so he still set out from the city through the portal.

First, it left the city directly to the north from Victoria Street, and then turned into a red butterfly and hurried on through the deserted forest at the foot of the mountain.

The village where Elder Harald belonged was the largest village among the tribes at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The village was roughly located at the southwest corner of the snow-capped mountains. When Shade walked up along the winding mountain path and saw the village wall and gate at the foot of the silver-white snow-capped mountains from afar, the time was exactly 9:57:

"Fortunately I'm not late."

But he is actually the kind of person who will feel late if he doesn't arrive ten minutes early.

It was a pity that although Shade arrived "on time", Elder Harald did not. He said last night that he would wait for Shade until ten o'clock, but when Shade explained his identity and met with another elderly priest in the village, the other party said that Elder Harald had set off twenty minutes ago:

"The city dweller he brought back last night was in a very bad condition, so Elder Harald led his men to send him to a cave in the mountain. The power of the Holy Mountain will suppress the whispering element, and this is the safest method at the moment."

"So where is the cave?"

Shade asked, the wrinkled face of the fourth-ringed old priest Kane was very embarrassed:
"I'm really sorry, that's the secret of our village, and we usually don't tell outsiders about it."

Shad respects other people's traditions:
"So how long will it take Elder Harald to return? Can he be back before lunch?"

"Of course you can. Do you want to stay for lunch? Elder Harald asked us to entertain you. Please come this way. I think you can take a good look around here before the elders come back."

If the "Holt Village" that Shad visited last night was just a local tribal settlement of standard size, then the "Kail Todd Village" that Shad visited today could actually be called a city. Of course, in terms of administrative planning, this place is "Kail Todd Town" on the official map of the Principality.

In addition to the winding mountain path that Shade walked to, there is another mountain road in the east of the town that is wide enough for horseback riding and extends from the snow-capped mountains. Because the town is built on a rugged mountainous area, it can be divided into two levels, the winding mountain path leads to the lower level of Kyle-Todd Town, and the horseback road leads to the upper level of the town.

The town of Kyle-Todd is mainly made of stone buildings, and the village is paved with very smooth stone slabs. The town itself extends from the foot of the snow-capped mountains all the way to the southwest to the seaside. The western end of the town is actually the pier here. From the map, the location of Kyle-Todd village is also the closest to the coast at the edge of the snow-capped mountains.

"Kail-Tod Village" is the largest settlement of the Snow Mountain Tribe on Fatumunster Island. Locals call it the village or "Kail-Tod Castle", "Snow Mountain Castle" or "Snow Mountain Town".

The permanent population here exceeds 3,000 people, and the town's buildings are scattered on the snow-capped mountain slopes all the way to the coast. There are tailor shops, herbal shops, blacksmith shops, butcher shops, cloth shops, barber shops and other functional buildings here, so the local tribesmen can live a self-sufficient life even if they do not communicate with the "Kalachakra City" further south.

Of course, there is still a lot of communication between here and the Kalachakra City. The Fatu people are not xenophobic. When Xia De was led on a tour, he saw many "city people" doing business here.

Of course, this huge village is equipped with gas and steam pipelines, but there is not a single watch shop here, as is common in the city.

As for the core building of "Kail-Todd Village", it is the "fortress" in the northeast of the village, which the locals call "Snow Mountain Hall". Snow Mountain Hall is not located together with the village itself, but is built on a small peak of the Fatumunster Mountain. A stone bridge connects this primitive but magnificent stone fortress over 30 meters high with the village.
