Whispering Verse

Chapter 3183 Ritual Ring

"Luvia, give the dice to Dorothy and let her roll too!"

Shade on the stairs did not forget to remind Luvia. When everyone reached the second floor, he thought of another thing.

“Emilia!”

The elf girl turned to look at him, and then was hugged by Shade and kissed deeply:

"You really helped a lot this time!"

The fair face of the elf was turning red as if it was steamed. Luvia smiled and pulled Emilia's hand with Shade, asking her not to stand still at the door.

"Sometimes I really feel like Shad is a child who has not grown up."

After returning to the second floor and sitting down, Xia De temporarily put aside his meeting with Miss Gode and told Luvia and the others in detail about his recent experience.

However, the investigation conducted by the witches and the girls during the period when Shad was "missing" did not yield any results. Neither the chosen ones of time nor the chosen ones of space could detect any problem with the location on the first floor where Mia pointed out that Shad had "disappeared".

If Shade came back later, Luvia would probably call Iluna, who was very busy at the end of the year, to help find someone.

"The space left behind by the ancient god of fate? It sounds like, in theory, as long as the stakes are high, it can be a universal wishing well."

Jialina said, of course, the rational witch knew what this wishing well that required a bet meant:

"Xia De, I'm glad you didn't lose your mind and continue to gamble. It was right to withdraw in time. Don't go into a casino with no upper limit unless it's absolutely necessary."

“Is the story of destiny about to begin?”

Emilia, whose face still had a slight blush from shyness, asked with both worry and excitement.

"We won't take any action before the end of the year."

Luvia answered, and Shade asked Emilia:

"Speaking of which, the academy had an exam some time ago, and I haven't seen you for a week. Have you finished the exam? How did you feel about the test?"

“Although [Destiny Casino] will not affect the people in this house for the time being, this incident should be considered a reminder to you.

After living in St. Teresa's Square for a year and a half, there are still secrets that no one knows about. So what is going on here? Now, except for the attic, problems have been found on every floor, including the basement. This is definitely not a coincidence. "

"I helped Shade investigate this house in 1853. For nearly a hundred years before Sparrow Hamilton, the Grey Eagle, moved in, this place was completely abandoned. Although there are records from before that, most of them are records of accidents that happened to the residents."

Carina says:

"This house is the exact opposite of Xia De's background that has been investigated. Xia De's background seems simple and ordinary, but everyone knows it is definitely not that ordinary; and this house has all kinds of strange things in the investigation results, but our inspection can't find any problems at all."

If Iluna were here at this moment, she would definitely be able to infer the specialness of this house through Sparrow Hamilton, whom she met in the "what if" game, and her own experience of rashly going here many times and then "dying tragically", but unfortunately Iluna is not here.

“This house is fine in terms of space and time.”

The two chosen ones said this. The others wanted to continue the discussion but were stopped by Shade:

"Anyway, we are safe for now, and the casino will not open its doors to us again, so we will discuss the house until after the end of the year. Now I am more curious, Amelia, Dorothy, as the chosen ones, what do you think of Miss Mia Gold?"

"pretty."

"elegant."

“There’s some sense of majesty.”

"But her temperament is warm and it's very comfortable to sit with her."

“Her hair is really good.”

"Her skin care is also very good. I don't know what skin care products she uses."

"Alright, alright."

Shade interrupted the discussion of the blonde girls as they were about to slide into other topics:

"Dorothy, Amelia, what did you talk about?"

He was curious about what topics Emilia and Miss Godd could have in common during the first half hour.

The pointy-eared elf recalled for a moment, and his expression became strange:

"She started by asking about my relationship with Shad, which was normal since this was Shad's home. I said I was an intern detective assistant. Then as she kept asking questions, she took the lead in the conversation and it felt like she was treating me as a guest. She told me a lot of stories about life in cities and small towns, and then I went to find Ajelina's flower shop."

It looked like Emilia was completely overpowered by that lady.

"Miss Gold and I talked about Shade's detective career. There are many stories in it."

Dorothy said this, and the subject was quite normal.

Xia De lowered his head and looked at the cat lying on his legs:

"There's no need to deal with Miss Goder's matter right now. At first I thought there was really such a thing as fate preventing me from meeting that lady today, but now I think my previous thoughts were indeed ridiculous."

He thought again of the words of the bald man who played cards with him in the "Casino of Fate". Fate is not a script arranged by an unknowable giant hand. All coincidences are the accumulation of all the necessities in the past. The intertwined spirals of necessity and chance together forge a chain of fate.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then what necessity is there for me to enter the casino before I met Miss Gold?"

Seeing that Shade was fine, the girls also dispersed. Emilia actually had one exam left. She came here at noon because Danister asked her to inquire about the arrangements for the year-end festival, so she did not stay any longer.

But in order to prevent Shade from causing any more accidents, Carina left half of the maids at home, which was of course not just to keep an eye on Shade:

"Just think of it as making preparations for the end of the year in advance. Anyway, we were originally planning to start the general cleaning tomorrow. Tifa, you stay here this afternoon and clean up the detective's precious house. I can't let Megan and the others say that I'm the kind of witch who doesn't do housework."

In fact, she just doesn't do housework.

Before leaving, Miss Gold not only left a year-end gift for Shade, but she also left a letter for Shade because she didn't know Shade would come back. Shade checked it after sending the girls away.

Emilia placed the letter and the gift in Shad's study. The letter was of course written by Ms. Mia Gold in Shad's home. After all, if she prepared it in advance, it would be equivalent to her knowing in advance that she would not be able to meet "Detective Hamilton" before she left.

The ink, pen, and paper were all from the Shard family, and the handwriting alone belonged to the increasingly interesting lady, who again expressed regret for not having met "Detective Hamilton" and thanked him for having taken such good care of Little Mia.

According to Emilia, during the conversation, Mia had been standing on the sofa behind the lady and seemed very close to her. It was not until Luvia and the others were ready to search for Shade that the cat ran downstairs.

Miss Mia Gold will leave Tobesk today and return to her hometown. At present, she has no plans to come here again before summer comes. As for the gift she left behind, it is certainly not another set of "Golden Lion Armor", but an old manuscript. The letter left by Miss Gold also pointed out the origin of the manuscript -

[While excavating the underground ruins beneath the ancestral home, the hired adventurers found this torn manuscript. This is probably an antique, and I think you will like this peculiar collection.]

The manuscript was on parchment, which was tied with red thread. After opening it, he saw that the text inside was indeed not any ancient language that Xia De had come into contact with, but the figures drawn in red ink were all genuine mystical symbols.

After translating with his unique talent of "knowing words", Shad roughly determined that this manuscript recorded the relevant knowledge about the "ritual ring".

Simply put, this is a technique of changing the shape of a ritual array that is not a standard circle, and converting a non-circular ritual array into a circular ritual array through the characteristics of the circle "connecting end to end/reciprocating/without omissions".

The ritual array that has been transformed in shape using the "Ritual Ring" technique can still produce its original effect, but its functions may also change due to the change in shape.

Although the content was strange, the value of this knowledge was not particularly high because it was only for simple and low-level rituals. However, at the bottom of the manuscript written in red ink, beautiful cursive letters in this language wrote a possibility:

[The number "13" has an incomparable and unique position in mysticism. If thirteen ritual rings that complement and restrain each other are spliced ​​together to form a larger ring, it may be possible to achieve incredible results.]

The content of the manuscript came to an abrupt end here. Xia De frowned in thought, while Mia came forward, rubbed the back of Xia De's hand holding the manuscript with her furry face, and said "meow~" gently.

Xia De then smiled and patted the cat's little head. Even though there were more troubles, at least now he just wanted to greet the coming year-end festival peacefully.
