Whispering Verse

Afterwards, Shade spoke openly about what Professor Garcia had discussed with him in private. The other four people were also very happy that Shade was able to obtain such a powerful thaumaturgy. As for his request to view the "Book of Ascension" in advance, he didn't have much opinion. He just thought that Shade had underestimated the difficulty of obtaining the spiritual runes after obtaining the blasphemy [Gluttony].

When the potion was finally brought up, Shade just speculated that it had a special purpose and did not say how it was to be used.

The preparation of potions is a precise job, and it is very time-consuming and expensive, so Miss Louisa initially suggested that Shade should not choose the School of Chemistry.

After asking the old priest, Priest August, who was in a good mood, agreed to help prepare the "Price of Growth". Those materials can be found on the local black market, but not many people know how to prepare potions. The old priest even only charged Shade a simple fee for materials. The sum of the money was not much, and it was no need to consider it for the detective who had suddenly become "rich".

"The Price of Growth" requires some time to prepare. Shade wanted to use it early Thursday morning, so the priest promised to write to him to pick it up next Tuesday or Wednesday.

But the potion went well, but no one in the group had the [Time Key]. This kind of relic is only useful to ring warlocks who hold the [Time] spirit rune. Dr. Schneider got one a long time ago, but it was It has already been handed over to the college.

As for Shade asking everyone if there was a way for ordinary people to gain power, the four of them shook their heads. If this kind of thing could be done easily, then Ring Warlocks wouldn't be so rare.

But Miss Louisa is indeed a writer, and she provides Shade with a brand new way of thinking.

The blonde girl looked at Shade and asked thoughtfully:

"What exactly do you mean by power?"

This sentence suddenly made Shade realize it, and he even wanted to hug Miss Louisa to express his gratitude. But in order not to be hated and misunderstood by the sorceresses in his group, he did not do this.

Personal power does not necessarily only refer to force, other powers are also powers. Especially to fool children...especially to convince children, even if the girl cannot have mysterious powers, there is a lot of knowledge in the minds of outsiders that is not easy to realize.

"It's really a big help. In addition to the newspaper advertisement, Miss Louisa, I owe you a lot. When I get this month's money, I will definitely treat you to the most expensive opera in the city's opera house. "

His promise made Miss Louisa feel confused:

"I would be honored...oh the fairy tale you asked for."

She handed the pages wrapped in newspapers to Shade:

"Remember to return it to me next Saturday and don't damage the corners of the paper."

"no problem."

Now I owe even more favors.

Everyone didn't have much to do in today's study meeting. After congratulating the doctor on his recovery, the other four people said their goodbyes and left. Of course, Shade didn't forget to confirm the doctor and the old priest's Sunday night schedule. Fortunately, they didn't even know Duke Lucas.

Now Shade can safely participate in the card game.

After leaving the clinic, Priest August continued to travel with Shade. While passing by a group of Tobesk University students wearing school uniforms on Roentgen Boulevard, Shade mentioned that he wanted to find an opportunity to thank Miss Louisa, and asked Priest August if he knew about the blond female writer. Hobby.

"She doesn't seem to have any hobbies... I think writing counts. She also likes opera and seems to be very good at music."

The priest thought, but sounded uncertain.

Shade nodded and whispered while looking at the afternoon Tobesk street scene. It's only four o'clock now, and the summer days are long:

"It sounds like Miss Louisa's background is really good. These hobbies are not something that poor people can cultivate. I just found out not long ago that Miss Louisa's father is a professor at the local university in Tobesk."

Priest August nodded:

"Yes, she has a very good background. Calculating it this way, Louisa can be regarded as the only normal person among the five of us."

"What does it mean?"

Shade asked curiously, so when the two of them walked through the intersection together, the old priest explained:

"Lotusa is a native of Tobesk. She comes from a wealthy upper-class family. Her father is a professor at Tobesk Higher School, and her mother is the youngest daughter of the late Viscount Cade. Louisa has two brothers and one My sister, after successfully completing her education at a women's college, moved out to live independently and make a living on her own, and then she awakened her talent and was met by a doctor. Her parents are both in China, and she has a very good relationship with her family. In contrast to me, an old widower who has never been married in his life. .”

Point to yourself.

"Bill, an orphan."

Pointing back to the Schneider Psychological Clinic.

"Annate, whose parents died young and has no relatives."

Pointing in the direction of the fortune teller who claimed to be out of town on business, Shade knew that she actually wanted to "encounter" Miss Bayas.

"And you as an ex-tramp with no memories of your past."

This time pointed at Shade.

"Dorothy Louisa is the happiest of the five of us. She seems so happy that she shouldn't be mixed up with the unlucky guys like us."

The priest concluded, took out his pipe from his arms, and seemed to want to take a puff.

Shade nodded and listened to the news. This was the first time he heard about the origins of other people in the group.

But he was confused:

"But I always feel... Miss Louisa seems to have some kind of story. She seems to be very familiar with the aristocratic stuff, and she has an indescribable, probably very unique temperament about her."

Shade said hesitantly, and the two of them stopped and waited for the porters in front of them who were carrying a leather sofa to cross first.

The smile on Priest August's face softened the wrinkles. He held the pipe in one hand, patted Shade on the shoulder with the other hand, and said cheerfully:

"I can't explain this, but Louisa's mother is just a daughter without inheritance rights, so she is not a noble, and she doesn't seem to have any connection with grandpa. Are you interested in Louisa? Yes, they are both at this age. young people."

The priest joked.

"No, that's not what I mean, it's just...forget it, we can't delve too much into other people's secrets."

Shade shook his head and gave up the topic.

It was still early, and after learning that Shade would be free today, Priest August invited the detective to go with him to Dawn Church to pick up the house deed and title deed. At the same time, he asked people from Dawn Church to survey the house to make sure that the closed area could be opened.

This matter was not troublesome at all. The two walked back to St. Teresa Square together first. Shade went home and got the detective's suicide note and the death certificate prepared in advance by Priest August. The priest then led Shade to the Dawn Church in Dawn Square. While greeting acquaintances, he walked through the grand main auditorium of the Dawn Church. The priest prayed for a while under the Holy Emblem before taking Shade around the gorgeous In the grand corridor, in the office marked "Document Storage Room", I found a middle-aged priest who was spending the afternoon drinking tea and reading novels.

The name of the novel is "Explorers in the Eye of the Storm", which is a maritime novel describing the exploration of routes in the old and new continents. Because it involves the life of a sailor, there are many colored parts. It is very interesting for this kind of book to appear in a church.
