Whispering Verse

Chapter 244: stay overnight

Miss Bayarth arrived just before eight o'clock, and as she followed Shard up the stairs, Shard noticed that her hair was still wet. After sitting down, I complained to Shard and Miss Anat:

"This afternoon, our team received a temporary mission and was sent to the sewers in the north of the city to catch some bold guys who sell contraband. Do you know the smell in the Tobesk underground pipeline?"

She made a very indescribable expression:

"You'd better never know. After the mission was over, I went home and washed it for a full hour before I felt the smell faded."

"There is no strange smell now."

said Miss Anat, while Shade went to the kitchen to get her some bread, and Miss Bayarth came hungry, and her hair was not even dry.

"That's because I wear perfume, very expensive perfume."

She tried to draw the shape of the perfume bottle with her hands:

"Imported Carson Rick, a small bottle costs 3 pounds. It was a gift I gave myself on my birthday last year. Actually, I don't think it's worth the price when it's practical."

She took the bread from Xia De, thanked her softly, and shook the bread at Mia who was squatting on the back of the sofa. But the cat food for the orange cat is much more expensive than the cheap bread essence Xia De bought, so he will not be attracted by this temptation at all.

"Has anyone been caught at last?"

Shad asked as he sat down.

"I caught them. Everyone was very angry at the time. When they were caught, they deliberately and accidentally hit them hard... just pretend you didn't hear it."

She waved her hand in embarrassment, and Xia De couldn't help showing a smile.

"What contraband are they selling?"

Miss Anat asked again.

"I don't know. The captain refused to say, and told us it was a secret with a straight face. But when we were arrested, we searched and found red salt in a small bottle. That's probably what they were going to sell. , if you have encountered it recently, remember to report it to me, and I can share the reward with you."

While Miss Bayas was eating bread, Xia De and Miss Anat confirmed their respective preparations for tomorrow night.

Shade learned the key thaumaturgy [La Laig's Jump], bought [Bordeaux Candle] from Old John for 43 pounds, and borrowed a real sage-level relic [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace] 】.

Miss Anat recovered from the weakness after paying the price for divination on Sunday. She borrowed a compass to guide the direction from the association, and borrowed a poet-level relic that can see through hallucinations from her friend. The appearance is a single piece Glasses, and then got a few steam bombs from black market channels.

Steam bombs are completely useless against high-ring warlocks, but it may be effective against weak silver pupils.

"However, which of your friends can actually lend a sage-level relic directly?"

Looking at the jewelry box Shade put on the coffee table, Miss Bayas and Miss Anat were very surprised. Although there is only one level difference between the sage level (level 2) and the keeper level (level 3), the preciousness of the former is self-evident:

"Even for high-ring warlocks, this relic is quite attractive. The other party actually lent it to you directly? Why don't I have such a friend?"

"Of course not without cost."

Xia De explained that he was going to attend the charity banquet tomorrow night.

Miss Anat and Miss Bayas did not object, but hoped that Shad could stay in that dinner forever. Rather than rushing into the ruins with them, the banquet where the Orthodox Church ensures safety is where he should be.

They were worried about Xia De's safety, but Xia De was determined to get the gift left to him by the God of the Fifth Epoch.

Miss Anat took out her notepad:

"I have investigated the ruins again in the past few days and made new discoveries. Since you have other arrangements, the plan needs to be readjusted. Now let me see, the originally planned action plan... At the same time we Pocket watch adjustments, Shard, do that. Oh, there's just too much to do, and we've got a lot to do tonight."

She shook her head in annoyance, while Xia De looked out the window at the rainy night, hesitated to propose:

"It's better for you to stay with me tonight. My house is very big. The weather outside is so bad, I don't think there is any need to go back late at night..."

After finishing speaking, I emphasized again:

"I don't say that for any other reason."

"It doesn't matter, you are lower than our ring warlocks, even if you do something bad, it's not your turn to do it."

Miss Anat waved her hands jokingly, and Miss Bayas also nodded with a smile:

"You're right, that's a good idea. But we're going home to get a change of clothes in a minute, so we can make sure we're all together until tomorrow night."

It's just that, although the house in Place Saint-Andrés is huge, there are only two beds. Xia De's bed in the second bedroom is the bigger one, which can be replaced with a new bedding for the two girls to squeeze together, while he can only sleep in Detective Sparrow's small bed.

[I thought you would have some psychological shadow on that bed. 】

"There are three ring warlocks here tonight. It's really going to be haunted. The unlucky one must be Sparrow."

The girls got up and prepared to go home to get a change of clothes and dressing things. Xia De also stood up and thought of another thing:

"Oh, speaking of which, may I ask about your weight?"

None of them were very alert when it was proposed to spend the night here, but this question made the two girls, who also have brown hair, vigilant:

"That's not polite, Shad."

Miss Bayas said reproachfully.

"No, no, it's about the candle. I got a nice candle."

That night, they talked until the early hours before going to rest. Shad's candle can help the three of them become invisible together, and the others have also got good relics, which can help them make targeted adjustments to their plans.

In addition to talking about the plans and arrangements for tomorrow night, Miss Bayas also returned to Xia De the [Witch's Carbon Paper] that had been imprinted with the thaumaturgy [Sunshine Sword] of the Warlock of the Thirteen Rings.

According to the characteristics of this relic, Xia De burned the carbon paper, mixed the remaining ash into the water, and kept stirring it, and finally drank it without leaving a drop.

After drinking it, he got a little reminder from the voice in his head, tilted his head and thought for a while, stretched out his right index finger, and a slender silver moon light jumped out from the fingertip like a dagger. After a little experimentation, the cutting performance of the sharp blade protruding from the fingertips is quite good. Without the blessing of [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace], the ability to break the defense is also better than [Silver Moon Slash].

This thaumaturgy should be a melee ability, and it can be matched with [Blade of Chaos Time]. Moreover, Xia De can feel that the witch's carbon paper is still being digested, and the current harvest is only the embryonic form of thaumaturgy.

It takes a process of "digestion" before he can fully master thaumaturgy. It is not the digestion of the stomach, but the soul to digest that power. Miss Bayas has investigated the information of [Witch's Carbon Paper]. According to the information, since he can have such power from the very beginning, his harvest should not be so simple. powerful thaumaturgy.

What he will get in the end has something to do with Shad's own type of spirit rune and his strongest thoughts, and he is full of expectations for it.

"Tomorrow night's action will definitely not be a problem."

This was what Xia De thought when he was lying in the owner's bedroom of No. 1 on the second floor, ready to fall asleep.

The cat lying on the pillow just ran over. Mia just saw Shade go to the bathroom to wash up, and knew that he was going to rest, so she rushed into his room. But after a while, seeing that it was not Xia De who entered the door but a woman, he rushed out of the bedroom door and found Xia De in the next room.

It seemed that the cat had mistakenly thought that Miss Bayas and Miss Anat had killed Shad and taken the house.

Fortunately, Miya didn't recognize the bed, and fell asleep faster than Xia De. And Xia De, who was thinking about things in his heart, lay down with his eyes closed for a long time before falling asleep.

At this time, it was still raining outside.

(Mia is running...)

It seems that opening and closing eyes is only a matter of two or three seconds, and there is still the sound of rain hitting the window in my ears. If you listen carefully, you can also detect the cat's weak and even breathing.

Shad opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The thaumaturgy told him that it was five o'clock on Thursday morning. He only slept for less than four hours, but when he woke up, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Is it still raining? I hope it won't affect things at night."

Looking at the slightly unfamiliar ceiling, she tiptoed out of the bed after a while. The cat, which was very alert when sleeping, was of course awakened, but stood up and looked around to see that it was not in danger, and then fell over the pillow again.

This is Sparrow Hamilton's bedroom. After the detective died, Shad only came here to clean the room occasionally, or came here to find the information left by the former detective.

This was the first morning when Xia De saw this room. When he was sitting by the bed, he wondered whether Detective Sparrow woke up every morning and saw the room in front of him. Is it the same as he is now? Feeling.

Because there were other people in the house, Xia De tried not to make any noise when he walked out of the room. It's still early, and it's still raining outside, so the living room without the lights on looks a little dark.

Standing at the door of the bedroom and looking around ~lightnovelpub.net~ The door of the room where the girls are resting is still closed, presumably they are still sleeping.

Waking up a little too early, Xia De didn't know what to do now. Standing in the living room and looking around again, I saw that the door was actually opened a crack:

"Anyone out?"

Stepping on slippers, I came to the corridor on the second floor. There was no light downstairs, but the door of the second room on the second floor next door was also open.

Xia De opened the door and entered. The room without gas lamps and furniture was empty and cold. The sound of the rain here seems to be louder than the sound of the rain next door.

He caught sight of Miss Bayas standing by the window at a glance.

A girl with long brown hair stood in front of the window, holding a teacup in one hand and resting on the elbow of the other. In the dark, she looked at the rain in Saint Teresa Square outside the window. She was wearing the nightdress she brought from the rented apartment last night.

Xia De at the door could only see her side face, somehow, Xia De thought this profile was so lonely.
