Whispering Verse

Chapter 858: early winter morning

Although that [Golden Lucky Rabbit Leg] brought too much luck to Shad who successfully arrived in Huntington, it not only allowed him to find Mr. Bernhardt, but also allowed him to get acquainted with Sylvie Miss Ya, but Xia De will not forget the negative characteristics of the relic.

Before he rested in the guest room of Galina Manor that night, he was still anxiously thinking about what kind of dream he would have tonight, so Miss Galina smiled and asked if Xia De would like to come to the sofa in her bedroom Rest, but rejected by Shade:

"That dream shouldn't be so dangerous yet."

Staying in the manor is just to be on the safe side. He is not very worried about being twisted by the crazy rabbits or even losing control. He is just worried that the nightmare at night will affect the spirit of the day and cause delays in business.

But no matter what, Xia De always had to sleep. After washing in the bathroom of the guest room, he closed the door and turned off the gas lamp on the wall and the gas chandelier above his head by turning the main valve of the gas lamp in the room next to the door.

After climbing onto the bed, he touched Miya who was already lying next to the pillow, and then pulled up the soft and smooth quilt, and closed his eyes nervously. The curtains were not closed, and the light of March shone into the somewhat empty room, and the gentle light shone on the pillow, but it did not disturb Xia De and Mia.

The quality of the beds and quilts in the manor was obviously better than those in Shad's home. The soft and warm quilt made Shad fall asleep quickly, and the negative characteristics of the relics also took effect almost immediately.

Xia De realized that he was dreaming, and saw countless pairs of rabbit eyes emitting red light in the darkness, watching him.

He felt a little nervous, because it was not an ordinary rabbit, but a rabbit similar to the illustration in a children's story book. Standing on two legs, the ears are longer than the body, the rabbit's head grows on the human body, the rabbit's mouth made a sound similar to chanting mantras, but even Shade couldn't understand the meaning of those words , because it was just an unconscious murmur.

Those rabbits were getting closer and closer to Xia De in the dream, carrying crazy emotions, trying to pull Xia De in the dream into the abyss of madness.

But in this deep dream, as the first ray of fire appeared on Xia De's fingertips and spread to the cracks in his body, the faint light of the first fire radiated out in the form of embers. Slowly falling.

The crazy rabbits were frightened by the flames, and hesitated to move forward, leaving only the pair of scarlet eyes watching him in the extreme darkness.

Xia De didn't want to fight back in the dream. In the dream, his thinking was a little slow and chaotic. He just raised his head subconsciously, and then the light appeared again in the dark dream. The huge silver moon seemed to have broken through the darkness above the head and appeared above. As the moonlight irradiated the surroundings, the vast and boundless wilderness spread out to the surroundings.

Xia De stood on the ridge of the field, with embers of the first fire shining on his body, looking up at the moon, while the malicious rabbits around him seemed to be assimilated by Xia De, and they were forced to raise their heads and fight with him. Look up at the moon together.

The light in the scarlet eyes extinguished and turned pure silver. Thousands of rabbits on the wilderness are silent, illuminated by the silver moon, but they seem to be worshiping foreigners on the ridge.

But in reality, in the dark and quiet bedroom with the window lit by the moonlight, Miss Galina in her nightgown and Tifa standing aside looked at Shad and the cat on the bed together. She saw Xia De sleeping soundly, and the moonlight shone on Mia's back like a cat ball at some point, making the orange and white hair more shiny.

"Shh~"

The Duchess made a gesture of silence to her maid, and wanted to leave after confirming that Xia De was safe. But suddenly stopped, and moved as slowly as possible in the darkness, and kissed Xia De's forehead:

"Good night, my knight."

With a rare flush, Galina Cavendish turned and walked towards the door, as if she was worried that Tifa would see her expression.

The black-haired maid chuckled, trying to keep up with her master. But then turned to look at Xia De, put the index finger and **** of his right hand together in front of the red lips, and while blinking his left eye at Xia De, he threw his finger at Xia De, and then walked out of the bedroom in a good mood.

"Meow~"

Mia let out a not-so-loud dreaming sound, wriggled and stood up, then crawled dazedly onto the quilt on Shade's chest and lay down. Suddenly, he turned his back up and exposed his belly, squinted his eyes and fluttered wildly with his four little paws, then his body tilted and slid down to the pillow again.

So, in his dream, Xia De watched the silver moon with countless rabbits all night. On the way, I also dreamed of the inexplicable fragrance of flowers, and my chest being pressed by a boulder, but the dream became blurred after waking up.

He still remembers being surrounded by red-eyed rabbits in the dark, but he doesn't remember what happened next:

"Did I dream of Little Mia, and the cat beat the rabbit?"

He thought suspiciously, and recalled the dream again, but the details in the dream became even more blurred. Sitting up from the bed, he first glanced at the bright morning light outside the window, and then looked down at Mia who was sleeping curled up into a cat ball. She always felt that her sleep last night was more comfortable than usual.

Today is Friday, so breakfast is naturally eaten in the witch's manor. During breakfast, Miss Galina also asked Xia De what he dreamed about last night. When Xia De mentioned the strange flower fragrance, Miss Galina smiled for some reason, but when Xia De asked, she couldn't help but smile. And don't say anything.

"What did she do to me last night?"

Xia De asked in his heart as he lowered his head and spread butter on the bread with a silver knife.

【She kissed you. 】

There was a chuckle from "her" in his ear, and Xia De looked up at Miss Galina who was sitting again. The lazy witch seemed to know what Xia De was thinking, and turned to the maid beside him and said:

"Tifa, go peel an egg for the detective."

Tifa's face was immediately stained red, she lowered her head and didn't move, Xia De also coughed violently, and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The fragments of the poem may be available in the near future, of course Xia De must inform Luvia about this. Xia De set off directly from Miss Galina's manor in a carriage, and when he arrived at Silver Cross Avenue, the Prophet Association had just opened for business.

His appearance surprised Vice President Mark who had just come to work:

"In order to find Anat for divination, you actually came earlier than me?"

This hard-working gentleman took out his silver pocket watch and took a look:

"It's only 8:20 in the morning, and I even arrived early. Mr. Hamilton, you really worked hard for..."

He showed a very admiring expression:

"When I was young, in order to pursue my wife, I just sent a few love letters. At night, I quietly chatted with her outside the fence of her house, and sent her a few beautiful roses. The young people nowadays are really amazing. Ah, the love of young people is always so enviable."

Said with a nostalgic expression.

"Mr. Mark, is there any news about the two [Founding] series of Rhodes cards in the collection of the association?"

Xia De has not forgotten this incident, and Mr. Mark shook his head with some regret:

"Sorry, Mr. Schubert, the current president of the Prophet Association, wrote you a letter to express his apology. I will bring you the letter later. As for the two cards, I think there will be no cards in a short time. way to get it."

The fact that the other party is so polite is also related to Xia De's status as the "1853 Champion of Big City Players". He is now a hot promotional material for the Prophet Association.

Luvia did not go to work early like Vice President Mark did, but she showed up at the door of the Prophet Association ten minutes late. Base salary will not be deducted.

At that time, Xia De had been arranged to wait in the divination room on the second floor. Luvia changed her clothes in the locker room of the association, and then came to the divination room to find him:

"Xia De, you came so early, you didn't invite me to watch an opera tonight, did you?"

She sat down smiling, looking like she was in a good mood this morning.

Xia De shook his head, and briefly described Princess Margaret Anjou and the "Secret of Immortality". Luvia immediately became serious, not for the fragments of the poem, but for the book:

"It turns out that "Secret of Immortality" is in Serkses."

"Is this book famous?"

"Yes~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the method summed up by the witches of the Fifth Epoch to make themselves look young. It contains information about various thaumaturgy, spells, rituals and relics. ] is in that book. The type of this book is very similar to the "Pink Book" in your hand. It does not refer to the content, but to the two books, both of which are used for certain purposes aggregate of extraordinary knowledge."

Luvia glanced at Shad's cat:

"Time will leave traces on everything. Even great witches will worry about their appearance getting old. It is said that someone has really obtained the secret of never aging through the "Secret of Immortality". This is not in The technique of applying pearl powder on the face, Xia De, no one will refuse the temptation of not being old."

As he spoke, he touched his face.

"Miss Galina asked Miss Sylvia to bring that book to the council, presumably not only because it was a relic of the Witch Emperor, but also the big witches want the knowledge in it... Luvia, you Your skin is really good, so, do you need me to copy the contents of that book for you?"

Xia De asked, and the purple-eyed fortune-teller immediately smiled:

"Thank you very much, Knight, if it is convenient."

The two of them didn't talk more about the fragments of the poem, after all, they are just fragments at present. It has been a month since the Fort Midhill incident ended, and the fourth candidate has not yet revealed its clues.
