Whispering Poems

Chapter 646 Remnants of Poetry

Dorothy was in such a bad state, and of course Shad couldn't let her return to the apartment on Quill Avenue so late, so in the end she stayed at Shad's place for the night, and Shad slept on the sofa overnight.

Because the area of ​​the sofa is not enough for Mia to lie next to the pillow, it lay on the back of the soft sofa and "accidentally" rolled down at 06:30 in the morning, hitting Shad's chest directly.

Xia De no longer remembers what he dreamed at that time, but when he opened his eyes and sat up, he still remembered that his dream ended with the collapse of No. [-], Place Saint-Terrands and crushed him.

"Mia, why did you fall? So careless?"

The bleary-eyed Xia De lifted the quilt on his body. He really thought that Mia fell down accidentally, but after waking up, he realized the subtle time of "06:30", and looked at the cat suspiciously:
"Are you hungry again?"

The orange cat rubbed the back of Xia De's hand, meowed, and trotted towards the stairs.Although not able to sleep in the bed, the cat seemed to be in a good mood.

Dorothy went back without having breakfast with Xia De. After being officially promoted to the fifth ring, she still had a lot of things to do during this time.And what is the current situation with Rezia, she also needs to be sure. In short, in the next period of time, apart from "Hamilton's Detective Stories", Dorothy will have more things to do.

Therefore, Xia De still ate alone with the cat this morning.But the first piece of news he saw after sitting at the dining table and unfolding the newspaper made him frown:

"A major earthquake occurred in the West Cal Mountain area?"

He put down the spoon in his hand, and unfolded the newspaper with both hands in disbelief:

"Yesterday evening? Oh, what happened there?"

He didn't think it was a simple earthquake.

So, instead of heading to Fort Midhill immediately after breakfast, she calculated the working time of the Prophet Association and went to the association to find Luvia.

Luvia continues stargazing at Xia De's house from today, but Xia De wants to chat with her not this:
"Have you seen the news?"

Sitting down in the divination room on the second floor of the association with the cat in his arms, Xia De handed the newspaper to Luvia.Luvia didn't seem to read the newspaper this morning, so she frowned immediately after seeing the news, then raised her head and asked Xia De:
"Shad, what did you do at Midhill Castle last night?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with me? I was busy helping Dorothy with the promotion ceremony yesterday, so I didn't go to Midhill Castle. Oh, Dorothy has become a five-ring magician."

Xia De hastily put aside his relationship:

"It has nothing to do with you? This is something new. However, an earthquake at such a time does not look like a normal situation."

Luvia put down the newspaper in silence, took the crystal ball from the side cabinet, read it for a long time before saying:
"It should be that there is a problem between life and death. Although it does not mean that the disaster has begun, there must be unexpected changes."

"I'll go to Fort Midhill to see the situation in a while, wait until."

"No, don't go today."

Luvia stopped Shad:

"I wrote to Iluna and asked her to inquire about the news there through the channel of the church. The church has taken the initiative to talk to her about the Midhill Fort, so there is a good reason to ask about the earthquake. Shade , you have other things to do in Tobesk."

Xia De regained his spirit:
"Is there a task for me? Do you have any clues for new coins?"

"Iluna and I will settle the matter of the coins. That's it. I found a small piece of "Whispering Poetry"."

"Meow!"

Because Xia De touched the cat too hard, Mia cried out immediately.

"A fragment of a poem?"

"Yes, is that weird?"

The girl with purple eyes frowned slightly:
"The fragments of "Whispering Poetry" are known to have at least three digits, so why can't I find one?"

"Then how did you find it?"

Xia De was very curious, but Luvia shook her head and did not tell him the answer:
"Anyway, there is a fragment of "Whispering Verses" in Tobesk, and no one should have noticed it except me. To be precise, the fragment is on the base of a stone figurine discovered by archeology Above. That figurine is actually a handicraft made by the witch emperors of the Fifth Epoch."

She looked around and lowered her voice:
"The specific size is about the same size as this crystal ball of mine."

Luvia described in more detail:
"The figurines are in the hands of a local collector."

As he spoke, he handed Shad a business card with the name and address of Simil Pasolo written on it, and the occupation was written as a writer.

"I'm going to find a collector and buy that antique?"

"No, no, he's dead."

The purple-eyed girl shook her head again:

"The old gentleman lives alone, and his family just came to Tobesk, so the house should not be touched. What you need to do is sneak into this address."

She clicked on the business card:

"Find the stone figurines and record the information on the base. We just want to know what is written on it, there is no need to actually get it."

Xia De nodded and glanced at the address:

"No problem. I'll send Mia home and set off. I'll try to give you news before this evening. Luvia, I'm a professional at sneaking into other people's homes."

He said confidently, especially the new thaumaturgy [Silent Moonlight], which is more suitable for Shade to do tasks like sneaking in.

"It's hard for me to imagine what you usually do."

Luvia shook her head:

"Let's meet at your house in the evening. I'll let Iluna go too. Let's discuss the progress of the third candidate. It's been almost two weeks since you rescued Priest Augustus, but our investigation progress is almost not yet."

"No problem, see you tonight then."

So Xia De set off again.

Coincidentally, the deceased antique collector, Mr. Simil Passolo, actually lived in the same room as Miss White's younger sister, Miss Black, who had already traveled to Fort Midhill, which Shade was looking for. a street.

The apartment buildings facing the street stand toweringly, with old architectural style and old walls, but the steam pipes and vendors on the street give it a new era style.When Xia De stood on this street again, he still couldn't help but lament the changes of the times.But before he could figure out whether he should use Ragley's jump to sneak in from the window on the second floor or find the back door of the apartment building, a familiar four-wheeled carriage unexpectedly Stop at Shad's side.

Xia De thought that someone was going to get off the car at the intersection, but he was in the way, so he walked towards the mailbox across the street.But as soon as he took a step, he saw the car window was opened, and Tifa's smiling face appeared in the car window:
"Good morning, Shad."
