Whispering Verse

Chapter 654: The Process of Civilization (Part 1)

Although the repelled evil spirit didn't suffer much damage, Shad's actions made it even more violent. The lower element corrodes the spiritual body, and more and more black faces appear from the depths of its soul, and Xia De can even hear the continuous whispers and curses coming from his ears.

His right foot swept away the fallen leaves on the ground, and before it attacked Xia De again wrapped in white mist, Xia De took the initiative to rush over with both hands holding the sword:

"one!"

He stabbed forward suddenly, and the moonlight sword was blocked by the miserable green shield as expected.

"two!"

Through [Raglai's jump], his figure appeared behind the evil spirit, and the light shield appeared again to block the sword in Xia De's hand.

"three!"

The sword and the light shield competed against each other behind the evil spirit, and the second sword summoned by [Blade of Chaos Time] appeared from the front of the soul and hit the evil spirit's head directly.

The light shield is in the shape of half an eggshell. If it defends against attacks from behind, it cannot defend from the front. The two-handed sword carrying the moonlight pierced out of the air, and first pierced the blood-red hand protruding from the spirit body's neck—most of the abilities of the evil spirit are related to resentment and the cause of death, and then the blade pierced the spirit body's head . .

The light shield behind him disappeared at this moment, but Xia De did not relax because of it:

"Mind blast!"

With one punch, the black faces surrounding the soul dissipated in astonishment. The whispering element was expelled along with the white mist, and with the appearance of the pure white spirit body and the appearance of cracks on the surface of the spirit body, Xia De knew that he had won.

At the last moment of the collapse, Professor Higgins turned to look at Shad, his eyes were puzzled and confused, and he was about to say his last words before disappearing. This is the unique characteristic of the evil spirits in Fort Midhill:

"Why......"

I didn't want to be troublesome at first, but his sad expression was indeed pitiful. The soul is about to disappear, and Xia De is not worried about the other party telling the truth. Considering that he took the other party's suitcase, Xia De sighed, and couldn't help but comfort him:

"Actually, I'm a grey-headed eagle, so your mission didn't fail, you succeeded, professor."

Professor Higgins' "last words" came to an abrupt end, and the soul that was collapsing from the bottom up looked at him.

"Yes, I am the Gray Eagle of Tobesk. I got the information from Virgil Cameron of the Principality of Sete. In that pen, the exact information is—the last day of this month, Your goods are in a warehouse with a red sign in Fort Midhill - Punjab Avenue. The ink is blue and black and the paper is rolled up."

The professor's pure white and transparent hand grabbed his arm, and his soul, which was about to collapse, unexpectedly became whole again because of Xia De's words. So, Xia De swiped lightly with his finger, and the black crack opened immediately, and the light spots overflowing from the soul floated towards the land of death:

"Leave, your mission has been completed."

He said softly, and the soul of Professor Higgins looked at him firmly:

"Tomorrow morning at 9:30, on the platform of Fort Midhill Railway Station. Take a bouquet of red roses, wear gray gloves backwards, pin a gold pen in the breast pocket, remember to dress decently, and someone will hand over the box. Password, no, all ages, interested in."

Xia De looked at him in surprise, there was no mention of it in his memory just now, and he could still complete the task like this. But he figured it out right away. After one of his companions was shot and the other committed suicide to end the mission, within a week, it was impossible for Professor Higgins not to notify his superiors of the mission change.

So, this is a new arrangement. Professor Higgins never thought that he would be able to take this box away.

The soul has been broken and only the part above the neck is left. Xia De nodded slightly, but did not make a promise. He thought of the password for abandoning the mission (chapter 561) that he had obtained in the cipher text in the newspaper, so he said softly in Kasenlik:

"Your mission accomplished—loyalty forever."

"Forever loyal..."

The spirit body completely collapsed and floated into the "gate of death" that Xia De opened.

Xia De waved his palm, as if smoothing the black crack with his palm.

Then he sighed slightly, raised his head over the treetops in the dense forest, and looked at the dim sun in the sky. The strange optical effect makes the hazy sun disc blurred, reflecting the gradually thickening sunset:

"This world is really dangerous for ordinary people."

The body of Professor Higgins was buried in the Sikar Mountain, buried under a tree in a position overlooking Fort Midhill, and then returned to Tobesk's home with the suitcase.

There was no one at home, and under the setting sun, only Mia the cat happily jumped down from the second floor along the stairs to welcome Xia De back home.

Therefore, no matter how bad things happened to Xia De outside, when he came home and saw the cat welcoming him, he would always be in a good mood.

After changing out of the clothes I wore on the trip to Fort Middlehill, and after a little freshening up, I took the cat to the Quill Street in the University District to find Dorothy.

It's a pity that the blond-haired Miss Writer is not at home. According to the landlady, she went home to have dinner with her family.

So Xia De pretended that he was taking a walk at night, strolled to Silver Cross Avenue with Mia in his arms, and handed out a note to Adelina's maid in the flower shop to find Rezia urgently.

Then, behind the flower shop, rose tea and exquisite rose cake were tasted in the lounge specially reserved for Adelina. Adelina sometimes sneaks out and likes to spend time alone in this flower shop, so the lounge reserved for her is indeed very good.

After eating and drinking enough with the cat, Rezia sent a letter asking Shad to wait for her by the Terraria River on the west side of the Yordle Palace. She will go out to the opera with Adelina in a while, and after the carriage drives them through the Felixer Park Avenue, they will stop by the river.

"Princesses have such a pleasant life."

Sighing in his heart, Xia De took the suitcase that he had not opened so far, and set off again holding the soft cat that looked sleepy. Bypass the huge Yoddle Palace complex from the side, pass through the street between the Yoddle Palace and the Kingdom House, and enter the intersection with Felischer Garden Avenue, and choose the road leading to the riverside at the five-fork intersection that one.

The Terraria River in the autumn of the valley is still in the wet season. Before the winter freezes, the freight ships are rushing to deliver the last batch of goods of the year.

At this time, the sun has almost completely set, and the Terraria River is reflected golden. Steamboats with thick chimneys patrolled the river, pulling out smoke columns. The autumn wind swept across the water, sparkling, and the reflected light made people squint their eyes.

Wild geese passed by the sky in a row. In the misty city sky, the irregularly shaped cotton-like clouds could hardly be observed. While the sun was showing its last ray, the traces of three moons could already be seen in the sky.

The red moon, yellow moon, and silver moon, the three moons hang in the shadowy starry sky. This is dusk, and it is probably the most pleasant moment of the day. Because no matter who it is, they will subconsciously slow down at this moment, and the night is coming.

Xia De didn't wait for a long time by the river when the convoy of princesses drove over. But when the convoy drove away, an ordinary-looking carriage stopped.

Not far away is the Cavendish Bridge across the Terraria River-this tower bridge was built at the expense of the royal family, and the coachman motioned Shad to go to the bridge. So Xia De led the cat along the river bank leisurely, and the carriage followed him at a very slow speed.

Soon came to the bridge, Xia De walked on the bridge, stopped after walking about twelve steps, and then looked at the scenery outside the bridge. Mia looked curiously at the water under the bridge in his arms, then shrank her head as if frightened.

The carriage slowly blocked behind Xia De, and as the door opened, Xia De turned around suddenly, and rushed in with the cat in his arms at a very fast speed, as if he was holding an orange steam bomb.

Because the speed was too fast, he almost bumped into Adelina who wanted to greet him with her head.

"Xia De, good evening."

"Good evening, Rezia, oh, good evening, Your Highness Adelina."

I don't know if it's because Xia De took the initiative to come to her this time, and Reciya, who was wearing a red dress, was very interested:

"Write to me specially, what's the matter?"

Because it would be very troublesome to explain MI6, Detective Sparrow and vampires, so Xia De asked directly:

"Is there any important department of the kingdom missing any valuables or confidential documents that can be put into this box?"

Shade put the black suitcase on his lap, and the cat that was placed beside the bench immediately jumped up and lay down on the box.

"Adelina, give me a hug."

Xia De then handed the obstructive cat to the little princess, who happily hugged Mia. Seeing that Xia De was really talking about business, Mia struggled symbolically to show that she was actually unwilling.

"I picked it up from Castle Midhill. It belongs to the Gray Gloves."

"Grey gloves?"

Rezia smiled, not realizing how important it was:

"Our great detective didn't forget to contribute to the kingdom in Fort Midhill. Oh, I remembered, you are still an MI6 agent."

The five people in the group knew that "that lady" had arranged for Xia De to get a salary without working, but no one knew what Xia De's current treatment and status in MI6 was~lightnovelpub.net~ A detective who is both a knight and an agent? "

Adelina, who was holding the cat, whispered, but no one paid attention to her.

"Let me think about it...the Kingdom hasn't lost any important information recently."

Rezia curled her fingers at the hair hanging around her ears, and gave an answer.

"Then whether

Is it possible that important documents or materials have been duplicated? "

"It's also unlikely..."

She raised her eyebrows:

"Other than the four metal panels in your basement, I'm not aware of any recent leaks of important items."

She meant the master of the four shilling note.

Adelina looked very curious, but neither Shad nor Rezia wanted to explain.

"Then what could it be?"

Xia De looked at the suitcase on his lap with a solemn expression.

"Open it and have a look and you'll know?"

Rezia looked out of the car window over Xia De. She and Adelina were not easy to show up, so they could only look out at the Tylarell River from this small window. It has only been twenty minutes since Xia De came to the riverside, and the last afterglow of the setting sun has disappeared.

On the calm Terraria River, the lights of steam ships dotted the scenery of the river. On both sides of the river are the lights of Wanjia. This is the core city of Tobesk, the pearl of the north. The fire of the steam age symbolizes the greatest civilization of this era. Achievement.

This scene made Rezia Cavendish more firmly believe that all of this is worthy of her.
