Whispering Verse

The warm yellow light illuminated Shad's face and his whole body. At this moment, Xia De could even think that this light would illuminate the street, the city, and the world.

The coming of night is the fear of all civilizations, but the light of civilization drives out this darkness:

"This is civilization, this is... light. The light of civilization..."

In an instant, steam appeared from behind, and at the same time, the spirit and elements in the soul were frantically moving:

"No, no!"

But the touch at this moment subsided like this, and Xia De didn't get the Enlightenment Rune because of it.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes and exhaled, the light of the bright lights was faintly reflected in his eyes.

Because they have seen more, understood more, and understood more, people from other places know that [civilization] is definitely not so simple. It was precisely because he knew the weight of civilization that he couldn't obtain that heavy spirit rune just by touching it at this moment.

"The fire of civilization is lit at this moment, but civilization is definitely not just shining at this moment."

Xia De closed his eyes again, trying to firmly engrave the numb scalp in his memory just now.

He didn't regret not being able to condense the feelings of "light" and "civilization" into spiritual runes just now. It would be a pity if [Civilization] was used here... He wants more.

"oh!"

Unexpectedly, he was hit by someone with his eyes closed. Xia De was startled, and completely broke free from the illusion of seeing through the entire civilization just now.

He hurriedly reached out to check his wallet and belongings, but everything was there, and it seemed that the other party really just bumped him.

Standing at the entrance of the alley and looking to the left of Silver Cross Avenue, among the bustling crowd, it is impossible to see who hit him just now.

Xia De wanted to ask the voice in his heart to confirm the clothes of the guy who hit him just now, but he found that a crumpled newspaper like garbage fell under his feet.

"Is there anything here just now?"

Thinking suspiciously, he picked up the newspaper on the ground. This is tonight's "Terra Real River Evening News". The other parts of the evening paper are normal, but on the edge of the second page, a series of numbers are written lightly with a pencil.

【This is dropped by the person who hit you just now. 】

The voice in the ear sounded in due course.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xia De thought in surprise, looking around for the person who lost the newspaper:

"Could it be that the way of meeting Leiziya has changed, is this a new connection code? But there are only numbers, and it doesn't work without a code book. Besides, it's just a meeting, how come it looks like a spy connection?"

Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly darkened. It turned out that a four-wheeled carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, blocking the gas lights from Silver Cross Avenue.

The coachman who tightened the reins lowered his hat and pouted at Xia De. Xia De saw the gorgeous Hayabusa emblem on the door on the side of the carriage. Judging from the outside decoration of the badge, it is the family coat of arms of a certain marquis. It seems that the carriage was borrowed by Rezia.

Xia De immediately got into the carriage according to Dorothy's instructions, and the carriage drove forward again almost without hesitation.

"etc."

Xia De in the carriage sat down with the cushion under his buttocks, and looked at the newspaper in his hand with a frown:

"If Rezia's carriage arrived on time, then what is this newspaper...the trash left behind? Am I overthinking it?"

Xia De thought of the divination conducted by Chairman Stan not long ago:

"The outfit I was wearing just now couldn't be a coincidence. The person who bumped into me thought it was someone else?"

Xia De pursed his lips, folded the newspaper and stuffed it into his pocket. Whether the paper is trash or something else is not the subject of the evening.

Let's welcome Rezia back to Tobesk tonight.

There was no conversation between the coachman and Shad along the way. After the carriage left Silver Cross Avenue, it first drove east, then turned south, and finally stopped at the entrance of Hummingbird Pedestrian Street on the edge of the University District and Tobesk South District.

After the carriage stopped, Xia De quickly got out of the carriage. But before he could thank the coachman, the coachman turned the carriage around and went back the same way.

"Really professional."

Xia De whispered, looked around, and walked towards the one on the left.

The "Red Flame Restaurant" that Dorothy mentioned was on Hummingbird Pedestrian Street, and Shad saw the signboard as soon as he got off the carriage. But because she asked Xia De to walk around the neighborhood twice to pass the time and not enter the restaurant until 7:40, Xia De did not go directly, but put his hands in his pockets, wanting to take a walk on the pedestrian street.

The aristocrats of Tobesk usually live in Nancheng, and this place is close to the university area, so the neighborhood is very prosperous. Now the night has completely fallen, but the shops facing the street are not closed yet.

Xia De looked left and right, and spent fifteen minutes walking from one end of the pedestrian street to the other. Most of the time he stopped at a shop specializing in steam pipes, and discussed some topics about pipe models with the owner.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xia De tidied up his clothes before arriving at the entrance of the Red Flame Restaurant. This is an upscale restaurant with waiters waiting at the door.

Seeing Xia De coming with a rose, he immediately greeted him:

"Is that Mr. Hamilton?"

he asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Xia De also lowered his voice, the middle-aged waiter in uniform nodded, and then led Xia De from the first floor to the second floor. After pushing open the door at the end of the corridor, he bent down and made a gesture of inviting him in. After Xia De entered, he closed the door carefully.

But there was no Rezia Cavendish in the room, there were three maids in the room. Two of them, Xia De, have never met, and the oldest middle-aged maid is Ms. Hells, Xia De has seen her in Sophia's mansion in Coldwater Harbor, and she is very trusted by Leizia.

"Mr. Hamilton."

Seeing Shad enter the door, Ms. Hells hurried over, and then whispered:

"I'm sorry, your Highness has encountered something, and it may take a while to come."

"It's okay, is it a troublesome thing? Do you need my help?"

Shad asked.

"About the Yordle Palace."

She hesitated:

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Randall Cavendish have quarreled about the New World Kingdom's advance corps, so His Highness can't leave for the time being."

"Oh, don't worry, this matter is important."

Xia De said quite understandingly.

The New World Advance Corps is a New World expedition team organized by the Kingdom of Delarion. It is responsible for drawing maps, prospecting for minerals, cooperating with scholars and churches to explore some ancient ruins, and establishing semi-permanent settlements in the coastal areas of the New World to maintain the order of the adventurers.

This is one of the most important military actions of the kingdom. Some people believe that the progress of the development of the new continent by Delarion and Carsonrick will determine the overall order of the old continent for the next five hundred years.

So Xia De ate dinner alone. After the meal, Leiziya hadn't arrived yet, but sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it would take some time.

Therefore, Xia De could only go to the opera house with the three maids, and waited while listening to the opera in the box. Rezia knew that Xia De couldn't appreciate the art of opera, so she chose "Children of Light" with a strong story. The story tells the story of the ancient warriors who inherited light, overcame fear and darkness, and passed on courage and knowledge.

This is more typical of the old chivalric opera.

Xia De is not very interested in opera, even the gorgeously dressed female actors on the stage did not arouse his great interest. Rather, the discussion about "light" in the story made him think deeply for a while.

I have been reading "The Crazy Light Chaser" for two months, and Xia De already has a premonition that the spiritual runes related to it will be born soon. Maybe it's the next moment, maybe a few more days, but it won't be too long.

"What the **** is light?"

This is what Xia De is thinking about. Unless he is lucky enough to directly obtain the [Light] spirit rune, once it is a concept derived spirit rune, his understanding will affect the specific meaning of the spirit rune.

"Darkness buster, bond, light of civilization, justice... oh, and moonlight, don't forget that."

When going to the bathroom halfway, Xia De was still thinking about this matter. Leaving the bathroom, listening to the singing voice weakened by the soundproof wall, walking towards the box, and walking through the corridor covered with red carpets and hanging portraits of famous singers, a lady maid came in front of her.

Because the formal maid skirts were roughly the same style, Shad, who didn't know much about women's clothes, felt that her outfit was the same as that of Leizia's maid.

As expected, the maid came to him:

"Mr. Hamilton, Your Highness has sent me to look for you."

"Is Rezia here?"

Xia De was overjoyed, but remained calm on the surface:

"Okay, let's go back then."

So the maid led the way, but Xia De felt that something was wrong as he walked. The box he had just now seemed not in this direction:

"Oh~www.readwn.com~ I understand, I need to be more cautious, so I changed places."

Thinking about it in my heart, I was taken to the door of the box on the third floor by the maid who spoke in a low voice.

After knocking on the door, I immediately got a response to allow entry.

So Xia De straightened his collar before walking in.

I saw the red-haired girl head-on, and just wanted to say hello, only to realize that she was wrong. It is indeed the princess, and it is indeed Cavendish. But not Rezia Cavendish, it's Agelina Cavendish.

The sixteen-year-old princess observed the astonished expression on Xia De's face, and put down the bone folding fan in her hand:

"Mr. Hamilton, you seem surprised to see me."

Adelina Cavendish, wearing a blue puffy dress, touched her face to make sure there was nothing on it:

"Just now my maids said they saw you, so I asked them to find you. After meeting at the Prophet Association last time, I have been looking forward to your participation in my salon, but I have not waited for your letter. Good evening, Hamilton of Regard."
