Whispering Verse

Chapter 751: Flowers, Fog, and Shade

The two of them didn't do anything that night, and Luvia hugged Xia De, allowing Xia De to have a perfect sleep.

He closed his eyes at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, and woke up at seven o'clock in the morning on Thursday after a sleepless night. Mia didn't even wake him up at 6:30 on time, probably understanding that Shade was really exhausted. When Xia De opened his eyes, he even thought it was the best night he had rested in this world.

"Not even having that dream of looking up at the silver moon."

When he sat up from the bed, he was refreshed, and Xia De had completely returned to his normal state after a night's rest. The purple-eyed girl was no longer on the bed. She had to go to the Prophet Association, so she had already left, but the bed was still warm, so it shouldn't be long.

Xia De, who was in a good mood, ticked his fingers at the closed curtains, and the curtains were slightly opened with a soft sound, allowing the late autumn morning light through the hazy mist to shine into the bedroom on the second floor.

"Meow~"

An aggrieved meow came from the door. Mia, who heard the sound of Xia De getting up, walked in from the living room with short legs, stood at the door and urged Xia De to make breakfast.

Xia De lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but suddenly smiled and stretched out his fingers:

"Sun rays."

A slender beam of positive energy shot out from the finger, leaving a small round spot on the floor in front of Mia. Normal [sun rays] can only last for a very short time, using strong energy to fight against undead creatures. Shade is the spirit that controls itself, outputting light with the lowest power, so the light can appear for a long time.

"Meow?"

The cat looked at the bright spots in front of it in surprise, and then suddenly stretched out its furry right front paw to pat. Mia is an orange and white cat with mostly orange fur on her back and mostly white on her four short legs.

It hit the bright spot, and then found that the bright spot appeared further in front, so it stretched out its left front paw to pat again, and saw the bright spot moving forward and shaking again:

"Meow?"

The small orange cat was confused for a moment, then jumped up suddenly, hopping on the spot and patting the ground back and forth with its front paws.

That look made Shade laugh.

A new day begins with the friendly interaction between Xia De and his domestic pet cat Mia. He hopes that he can have this kind of good mood today.

Now that the danger in the home has been resolved, Mia can stay home alone. During this period of time, I often took this cat out, but it didn't like the feeling of going out.

After breakfast this morning, Xia De didn't call Mia when he was about to leave, which made Mia who was standing on the stairs looking at Xia De very happy.

Perhaps for this cat, staying at home every day and waiting for Xia De to come back is the simplest happiness.

Mibao is still foggy today, but perhaps because of the statue of the ancient god, the fog in the mountains did not invade the basement of the abandoned tower. But looking up through the trapdoor from the basement, the thick fog prevented Shad from even seeing the early morning sun.

"The seal on the mountainside has been strengthened, what happened?"

After leaving the abandoned tower, the fog in the mountains became even more exaggerated. After walking a few steps, Xia De even had the illusion that he had entered the space of the ancient gods. And this is obviously a large number of undead that should leave in the mist that escaped from the narrow space. But fortunately, the side effect of attracting undead caused by the use of relics by Shade has long since disappeared. Relying on "her" hints and the blessing of the witch emperor Violet, she narrowly avoided possible battles and arrived at 9:00 in the morning. up the city.

The situation in the city was no better than in the mountains. Fort Midhill under the fog was no longer as lively as it used to be. Even though it was Thursday morning, there were not many people to be seen on the street. The people I saw occasionally were also in a hurry to move forward while holding onto the low wall of the street.

Even on the way to the Church of the Sun, Xia De didn't see any carriage. Even hanging lanterns in this weather is useless, the whole city is enveloped in white mist.

Without a carriage, Xia De could only walk through the city on foot. The most common sight on the way was the policeman running past the street with a kerosene lamp. Occasionally, the sound of a police whistle would sound from a distant block. This kind of weird foggy weather is indeed a good time for bad guys to commit crimes.

Xia De wanted to know about the changes in the city today, but for some reason, he didn't even meet a kid selling newspapers along the way. Fortunately, when he passed the intersection of Evergreen Street, he met a little flower seller who was timid on the side of the street and did not dare to cross the street directly.

The little girl was small and carried a batter that was scoured but still worn out. Her shoes were large, and her gray skirt and shriveled hat were patched. She was very thin, probably suffering from malnutrition all year round, so Xia De couldn't judge the exact age of the other party.

The little flower seller also noticed Xia De coming from the thick fog, and hesitated to meet him, but she didn't dare to get close. So Xia De stopped and reached into his pocket to get the money, but this action made the flower seller even more hesitant.

In the foggy weather, if Xia De took out a handkerchief that could stun people, no one could save her. The children who sell flowers and newspapers on the street have already learned how to protect themselves in the hard life.

"This is the wallet."

Xia De shook the wallet he inherited from Detective Sparrow, and motioned for the little flower seller to come over:

"I want to know something. When did the fog come up? Last evening, I remembered that the fog seemed to be clearing up."

He flicked a 1-shilling coin from his hand and caught it. The thin flower seller walked over slowly, staring at the flying coins:

"Sir, the fog came out last night."

Fort Midsill has a very strong accent, and people here tend to accentuate their tongue depressors when they speak.

"From the mountain?"

"No, it just appeared from the city, just like the usual autumn fog."

The girl couldn't describe the situation when the fog appeared very well, but based on what she said, it can be deduced that this heavy fog has nothing to do with the narrow seal in the mountain, and it wasn't that there was a mistake in yesterday's seal.

"Ok, I see."

Xia De nodded and tossed the one shilling coin to the girl who refused to approach him. Wanting to leave, he stopped and asked:

"It's such a bad weather, you should go home as soon as possible, this kind of weather is not suitable for going out."

"But...but my flowers are not sold out yet."

The little girl said timidly.

Of course Xia De knew the reason for her refusal to go home. Going home now not only means that there is no income, but also means that the money spent in advance to buy flowers is given to the florist for nothing. He asks this in order to elicit the following words:

"How much do you spend in total? Sell it all to me."

With the physical strength of a little girl who has been suffering from malnutrition all year round, there are not many flowers in the basket. And this kind of flower girls who sell along the street usually don't buy too expensive bouquets, so Xia De's expenditure is not large.

"Sir, I..."

She didn't know whether it was because she was surprised, or because she couldn't give an answer for a while, she hesitated and couldn't speak.

So, Xia De took out the wallet and the change in his pocket, about 12 shillings, put it in his hand and handed it to the little flower seller, and then took out all the flowers in her basket.

The number is even less than Xia De thought, and he can catch them all with one hand:

"Take the money and go home, remember not to tell others you have so much money. Good luck!"

The girl hurriedly wanted to thank her, but Xia De shook his head, turned around, waved his hand with his back to her, and walked into the fog again. After confirming that no one was around, the foreigner wrapped the flowers in his own coat, turned them into toys and stuffed them into his pocket, but only a bunch of red roses that were not bright in color were left behind.

Different from the Church of Nature and the Church of Dawn located in the center of Miburg, the Church of the Sun is located in this parish, in the southwest of the city near the mountainous area. Shard entered the city after going down the mountain, and then circled a small half circle outside the city to Saint Laurent Square in Fort Midhill, which is also the core of the old city in the west of the city.

Unlike the Church of Dawn in Tobesk Parish, which is in the center of Dawn Square, the Church of the Sun in Miburg Parish is only on one side of Saint Laurent Square. But because this is an old city, there is a lot of land that can be developed and utilized, so the Church of the Sun is larger than the most prosperous natural church in the local area.

Due to the influence of the magical power radiated from the church, the dense fog near Saint Laurent Square has lightened a bit. Scattered merchants can be vaguely seen in the square, but there are still not many pedestrians.

In the Church of the Sun, Xia De discussed the topic of special Rhode cards with the sundries vendor before waiting for Iluna. She found a suitable reason to go out from the church, so she walked out of the church without any shyness.

"Is it for me?"

Seeing Xia De holding a red rose, Iluna asked with a smile, Xia De nodded immediately:

"Yes."

He handed over the red rose, which made Iluna smile even more.

The two made an appointment to meet today in order to exchange information with each other. Sitting down in a teahouse on the side of the street, Iluna told Xia De the results of the [Truth Society] encirclement and suppression campaign, and Xia De told what happened to go to the narrow room with the witches yesterday.

So far, the three passages between life and death have all been reinforced to a certain extent. Among them, the seal at the foot of the mountain was strengthened by Shad's tree kiss lock, and the weak bonfire was still lit in front of the death gate; the seal on the mountainside was strengthened by the witches and Shad, and those dangling silver threads and witch's hair ensured that the seal would not Something went wrong; and the seal on the top of the mountain was stabilized by Sister Devlin on Monday when I saw the Red Butterfly Twins.

This is only a preliminary reinforcement, and then a large-scale divine ceremony of the church is required. As for the four nails that fixed reality and the narrow space, one was killed by Sister Devlin, and one was hijacked into the narrow space by Joy Barton. The four nails correspond to four strong emotions, the woman in the deserted village is "fear", and the clown should be "joy".

As for the rest of the grief and anger, Priest Augustus will try to search with Shad in the afternoon, and the Orthodox Church has already locked one of them:

"Life and Death itself is a level 0 relic~lightnovelpub.net~ and Joey Barton is the first candidate for the chosen one, it is difficult for the church to divination on him. But for Nail who is resurrected from the dead, there is the Association of Prophet With the cooperation, since we can find the clown, we can also find the second one."

Iluna sat opposite Xia De holding a teacup, her tone was very confident. In her hand was a small bottle bought from a teahouse, filled with water, and inserted the wilted rose.

"Did you find the other two?"

"Only one was found, and the approximate location is north of Fort Midhill. After more accurate information is determined, it will probably be acted on Friday or Saturday."

Shad took note of this information, he and the priest's search in the afternoon can start from the south of Boro:

"The other thing is about the chosen ones. It seems that there will be unplanned changes every time. It is not known what method Joey Barton wants to use to retrieve the dead. But after confirming that what he is going to do is irreversible, you Make sure to kill him with your own hands. Joey Barton doesn't necessarily know about the ceremony of the chosen one, so your opponent this time may not be as powerful as Darkness."
