In addition to relics, curses and nursery rhymes, Miss Prince also wanted to buy some books from the lighthouse to pass her boring time recently, so after the conversation by the sea cliff, the two of them were finally invited into the lighthouse .
The interior of the masonry lighthouse is cramped, but at least it is clean and has no strange smells. The bottom layer is the living area of the tower keeper, and the upper part is the working area. Mr. Edmund entertained them with cheap tea, and finally Miss Princes spent 78 pounds and bought two books.
One of them is the study notes of a ring warlock who is proficient in the elements of enlightenment, and the other is an old book that may obtain the [Ocean] spirit rune after reading it.
In the morning, Xia De harvested an old book "The Abyss of the Wind" related to [Wind] from Le Maire's safe house. While Miss Prince was picking out the old book, Xia De took it out and invited Edmond Mr. De appraised. The old man finally gave a price of 41 pounds and 4 shillings, which was far lower than the "Sea Soul Record" bought by Miss Prince.
After all, "The Abyss Where the Wind Rises" is regarded as the basic book on the elemental runes of earth, wind, water and fire, and this book in hand is already a manuscript after the original version has been translated twice, so it is normal for the price to be lower.
Not choosing to stay, Shad sold the book directly to Mr. Edmond. If he wants to obtain the spiritual rune [Wind] in the future, he can borrow a book from the St. Byrence Library to read it. This is not a precious book. And with the relationship of the Red Moon Witch, he didn't have to worry about not being able to borrow books.
It's a pity that St. Byrence does not give practical credits for recycling similar occult books, otherwise Shade's pressure of 15 credits can be relieved a bit.
The two spent the remaining one and a half hours in the afternoon in this old lighthouse. By the time they said goodbye to Mr. Edmond, the western sky had already seen sunset.
Instead of leaving immediately, he stood on the edge of the sea cliff and looked at the sea to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the lighthouse was too stuffy.
The calm sea surface was now glowing red, and the shimmering waves were even a little dazzling. Seagulls hovered in the distant space, and the sound of sirens slowly came from further away, overlapping with the sound of waves.
"That curse..."
Shade hesitated to speak, while Miss Princes reached out and took off the mask on her face. Xia De saw her face, it was a very beautiful lady, and occasionally she showed a look that Xia De was very familiar with.
"Don't worry, although it is a curse caused by an angel-level relic, hasn't it been contained now?"
She shook the golden ring on the finger of her right hand, and the sea breeze blew, the drooping hair on her temples swayed with the wind, and the emerald green eyes reflected Xia De who was close at hand.
Xia De glanced back at the lighthouse behind him, and took off his mask. He hesitated, exchanged glances with Miss Princes, and then turned to look at the sea. In his past life and his new life, he had never lived in a city near the sea. And even though he had been to Lengshuigang City before, he never had the opportunity to quietly watch the sea under the setting sun like now.
Neither of the two spoke. When the seagulls flew over their heads and brought a cry that spread far and wide under the sky, Xia De suddenly spoke:
"If you can trust me... can I touch your forehead with my finger? I have a strange ability to detect curses."
Xia De wanted to rely on close skin contact to detect traces of whispering elements. Although Miss Prince and Xia De have nothing to do with each other, since they met by chance, and the other party is still helping him wholeheartedly, Xia De thought of helping others.
However, not only for ordinary people, but also for ring warlocks, being touched by others' fingers on their head is also a very dangerous behavior. Many mind control and undead spells and thaumaturgy require touching the head as a condition.
"Of course I believe you."
Contrary to what Xia De thought, Miss Prince nodded and agreed without tactful rejection or even extra thought. Seeing him in a daze, he smiled and asked:
"What's wrong? Do you need to prepare anything else?"
"No, no need."
As the sun set, the sea breeze also became a little anxious. Miss Prince raised her right hand and brushed the broken hair on her forehead, then tilted her body slightly, and stretched her head over.
Her skin is fine and there are no visible signs of pores or acne marks. He approached Xia De, with a very relaxed smile on his face, which made Xia De hesitate:
"Is her favorability for me a bit too high?"
But thinking that the other party helped him wholeheartedly, and that he was cursed by the sage-level relic and died not long ago, Xia De stretched out his right index finger to rest on the other party's forehead.
The warm skin made Xia De a little embarrassed:
"Please wait a few minutes."
he said, and then asked in his mind:
"Is this kind of contact okay?"
[Yes, I have already sensed the whisper element, it is indeed a strong curse. 】
Xia De waited quietly for a while, maintaining the movement of putting his hand on the opponent's forehead. With neither party speaking, it makes the atmosphere a bit awkward. And at close range, Xia De could also smell the nice perfume on the other party.
The smell is very mild and not pungent at all. He hadn't smelled a similar scent on anyone else, even the three-pound bottle of perfume that Iluna had mentioned, didn't seem to smell as good.
[It's ok. 】
"What result?"
【The whispering element is very strong, and it is entangled with her soul endlessly. The rings she bought and the rubies she wore in her ears could curb the curse, but neither could cure it completely. 】
"Is there anything I can do to help her?"
[Take her soul completely out of her body, and then rely on your "soul echo" to tear her soul apart inch by inch, and illuminate it with moonlight. 】
"OK."
"Sorry, I don't think I can help you."
"It doesn't matter. If the curse spread by the sage-level relic is so easily lifted, then we have to doubt whether this relic is qualified to be rated as a sage-level."
The blonde girl said, with a regretful expression on her face, but it wasn't because Shade couldn't help her:
"It's already evening... Today flies so fast."
The sunset by the sea was particularly dazzling, and Miss Prince's long hair was shining brightly in the sun. Sighing against the sea under the setting sun, she then turned to look at Xia De:
"Then Mr. Watson, we have one last trip today. After the trip, our employment relationship will end."
"Um...okay. Where are we going next?"
"There is a small ring warlock auction locally, and I happen to have an invitation. But to attend the auction, you need to dress more formally."
She took a look at Xia De's outfit:
"Let's go back and change our clothes. How about meeting at the intersection of Conch Street in the dock area in an hour?"
"One hour... I don't have a formal suit in my luggage."
Xia De said with some embarrassment that an hour to and from home is not enough, and he is far away from the beach where he landed.
"But any later will be late."
Miss Princes stared at him.
"Oh, actually, I can find a clothing store and buy a formal suit."
Xia De is just not willing to spend this extra money. The price of formal clothes worn on formal occasions is not calculated according to the price of fabrics and handwork. A set of clothes is enough for several weeks' salary of ordinary people.
"Actually, you can rent one."
He nodded and said.
"Don't be so troublesome. I have a set of men's formal clothes at my place. It was prepared when I went out in disguise last time."
said Miss Princes.
"But... does it fit?"
Xia De was a little embarrassed, he was much taller than Miss Prince, and the young sorceress was relatively thin.
"Probably fit."
She said it in a relaxed tone, but she didn't look worried at all.
So the two first walked back to the dock area from the remote old lighthouse sea cliff, and then took a carriage back to the Robin Hood Street apartment in the southern district of Coldwater Port City.
Because the distance was a bit long, by the time they pushed the door and entered the apartment again, the street lights outside had already been turned on.
Miss Prince opened her closet, and actually took out a suit of men's formal clothes from the closet. Coats, shirts, pants, shoes, ties, belts, even tie clips.
Since there was only a narrow bathroom in the apartment, which was completely cut off from other spaces, Miss Princes asked Shad to go to the bathroom to change clothes, and she had to change outside.
Of course Xia De agreed, but it was only after changing his clothes that he realized that this suit was not only suitable, but also close-fitting.
In the bathroom, he looked in the mirror at his appearance after changing clothes, straightened his tie, and became more and more puzzled by the lady who was changing clothes outside:
"This can no longer be explained by coincidence...Could it be that Miss Galina, who I haven't seen for a week, is joking with me..."
But the lady outside is obviously not a witch, and she can't see the connection with the duchess~www.mtlnovel.com~ But Xia De thought of the contents of the diary he saw in the afternoon, and thought of the inexplicable strangeness on Miss Princes. Familiarity, and all her abnormal behavior today:
"Could it be..."
Shad frowned.
Miss Prince changed into a nice blue dress, but her jewelry remained the same. After the two packed up, they left the apartment and got on the carriage to the dock area.
The carriage drove them all the way to the trestle in the dock area. The two put on their masks before getting out of the car, and then walked up the trestle side by side.
The sun completely disappeared below the horizon tens of minutes ago, and the night of Lengshuigang City fell. Coming to the beach, even though it is still summer, it still feels a bit cold in the sea breeze.
Even if it is a small-scale auction, it will not be boldly held in the urban area of Lengshuigang and under the eyes of the Church of the Five Gods. The specific location is at sea. Masked banquets are held for local ladies and gentlemen on the deck of the cruise ship. Because they are masked, it is not difficult to imagine what the people who come to this banquet want to do.
In the name of the participants of the deck banquet, the ring warlocks boarded the cruise ship wearing masks reasonably. After the cruise ship left the coastline, they participated in a small auction and returned to the port at midnight. Ladies and gentlemen would run out of cabin rooms in the dark, kiss strangers goodbye and leave, and ring magicians could thus hide their identities.
In a free-spirited and chaotic seaport city, foreigners can encounter more unimaginable things.
