Chapter 320 Shade's Guess

Aside from relics, curses and nursery rhymes, Miss Princes I also wanted to buy some books from the lighthouse to pass my recent boring time, so after the conversation by the sea cliff, Shade and the two were finally invited into the lighthouse.

The interior of the masonry lighthouse is cramped, but at least it's clean and doesn't smell weird. The lowest floor is the living area of the tower guards, and the upper part is the working area. Mr Edmond entertained them with cheap tea, and in the end Miss Prince paid £78 for two books.

One of them is the study notes of the ring warlock who is proficient in the elements of Enlightenment, and the other is an old book that may get the [Ocean] spirit rune after reading.

Shade picked up an old book "The Windy Abyss" from Le Maire's safe house in the morning. While Miss Prince was picking out old books, Shade took it. Come out and ask Mr. Edmund for an estimate. The old man finally gave the price of 41 pounds and 4 shillings, which is far lower than the "Spirit of the Sea" bought by Miss Prince.

After all, "The Abyss of the Wind" is a basic book for the spirit rune of the elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and the book in hand is already a manuscript after two translations of the original version, so the price is low Some are also normal.

Not choosing to stay, Shade sold the book directly to Mr. Edmond. If he wants to obtain spirit rune [Wind] in the future, he can go to the St. Byrons Library to borrow books to read, which is not a precious book. And with Demon Hong Yue's relationship, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to borrow books.

It's a pity that St. Byrons recycles similar mysticism books and does not give practice credits, otherwise Shade's 15 credits pressure can be relieved.

The two spent the remaining hour and a half of the afternoon in the old lighthouse, and by the time they said goodbye to Edmund Old Mister, the western sky had already seen sunset.

I didn't leave immediately, but stood on the edge of the sea cliff and looked towards the sea and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was too stuffy inside that lighthouse.

The calm sea is now bright red, and the sparkling waves are even a little dazzling. The seagulls hovered in the sky in the distance, and the whistle came slowly from a distance, overlapping with the sound of the waves.

"That curse."

Shade was hesitating, while Miss Prince reached out and took off the mask she was wearing. Shade saw her face, it was a very beautiful lady, and there was an occasional look on her face that Shade was very familiar with.

"Don't worry, although it is a curse caused by a sage-level relic, hasn't it been contained now?"

She shook the golden ring on her right hand finger, The sea breeze was blowing, the hair on the temples swayed with the wind, and the dark green eyes reflected Shade who was close at hand.

Shade glanced back at the lighthouse behind him and took off his mask. He hesitated, looked at Miss Princes, then turned his head and looked towards the sea. In his past life and new life, he has never lived in a city near the sea. Although I have been to Lengshuigang City before, I have not had the opportunity to quietly watch the sea under the sunset like now.

Neither of the two said a word. When the seagulls flew over their heads and brought a distant cry that spread far in the sky, Shade suddenly said:
"If you believe me, can I let you? I touch your forehead with my fingers? I have a peculiar ability to detect curses."

Shade wants to rely on close skin contact to detect traces of the Whisper element. Although Miss Prince and Shade have nothing to do, but since there is such a fate of encounter, and the other party is helping himself with all his heart, Shade wants to help others.

It's just, not only for the ordinary person, but for the ring warlock, it is also a very dangerous behavior to be touched by someone else's finger on his head. Many mind control and necromantic spells, Mystic Art, require touching the head as a condition.

"Of course I believe you."

Different from what Shade thought, Miss Prince did not politely refuse, or even without extra thought, so nodded agreed. Seeing him in a daze, he asked with a smile:

"What's the matter? Do you need to prepare anything extra?"

"No, no need."

As the sun sets in the west, the sea breeze becomes a little more urgent. Miss Prince raised her right hand and brushed the broken hair on her forehead, then tilted her body slightly and stuck her head over.

Her skin is fine, with no visible pores or acne marks. Approaching Shade, there was a very relaxed smile on his face, which made Shade hesitate:
"Is her affection for me a little too high?"

But thinking about the other party's dedication Helping himself, and being cursed by the sage-level relic and dying soon, Shade stretched out his right hand index finger and placed it on the opponent's forehead.

The warm skin made Shade a little sorry:
"Please wait a few minutes."

He said, then asked in the heart:
"So Is contact okay?"

[Yes, I have sensed the Whisper element, it is indeed a strong curse. ]

Shade waited quietly for a while, keeping his hands on the opponent's forehead. It can make the atmosphere a little awkward when neither side is speaking. And at close range, Shade can also smell the good smell of 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, and even the three-pound-a-bottle perfume Iluna had mentioned didn't seem to smell as good.

[It's OK. ]

"What result?"

[Whisper element is very strong and entangled with her soul. The ring she bought and the ruby she wore on her ears could curb this curse, but neither could completely cure it. ]

"Is there any way I can help her?"

[Take her soul completely out of the body, and then rely on your "soul echo" to tear the soul inch by inch, Irradiate with moonlight. ]

"Okay."

Shade nods and takes his hand back:

"Sorry, I don't think I can help you."

"It doesn't matter, if the curse spread by a sage-level relic can be lifted so easily, then we have to doubt whether this relic is eligible to be rated as a sage."

Goldilocks said, a look of regret on her face, but not because Shade couldn't help her:

"It's already evening. It's been a really fast day."

The Seaside The setting sun was particularly dazzling, and Miss Prince's long hair gleamed in the sunlight. Sighing at the sea under the setting sun, she turned her head and looked towards Shade:

"Then, Mr. Watson, we have one last trip today. After the trip is over, our employment relationship will end. "

"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 formally ."

She took a look at Shade's outfit:

"How about we each go back to change a dress and meet at Conch Street in the Docklands in an hour?"

p>

"I didn't have a formal suit in my luggage for an hour."

Shade said a little sorry, an hour to and from home is not enough, he is now far from the beach where he landed.

"But it's going to be late."

Miss Prince stared at him.

"Oh, actually I'm looking for a ready-to-wear store, and I can buy a formal suit."

Shade just doesn't want to spend the extra money for formal occasions The price of formal wear is not calculated according to the price of fabrics and handicrafts. A set of clothes is enough for the ordinary person's salary for several weeks.

“Actually, you can rent a set.”

He nodded and said.

"Don't bother, I have a men's suit at my place. I prepared it for the last time I went out in disguise."

Miss Princes said.

"But does it fit?"

Shade was a bit sorry, he was much taller than Miss Prince, and the young female warlock was thinner.

"Probably fit."

She said in a relaxed tone, but didn't look worried at all.

So the two first walked from the remote old lighthouse Sea Cliff back to the quayside, and then took the carriage back to the Robin Hood Street apartment in the South District of Coldwater Harbor.

Because the journey was a bit long, when they pushed the door again to enter the apartment, the street lights outside were already on.

Miss Prince opened her closet and actually pulled out a men's suit from the closet. Tops, shirts, pants, shoes, ties, belts, and even tie clips.

Because only the cramped bathroom in the apartment is completely cut off from the rest of the space, Miss Princes asks Shade to go to the bathroom to change, and she has to change outside.

Of course Shade agrees, but it's only after he's changed his clothes that he realizes that the suit is not just a fit, but a close-fitting one.

He looked in the mirror in the bathroom to see how he was dressed after changing his clothes, straightened his tie, and became more and more puzzled by the lady who was changing clothes outside:
"This is no longer possible. It can also be explained by coincidence. Could it be that Miss Galina, who I haven't seen in a week, is joking with me"

But the lady outside is obviously not a Demonness, and there is no connection with the Duchess. But Shade thought of the contents of the diary he saw in the afternoon, the inexplicable familiarity of Miss Prince, and all her abnormal behavior today:
"Could it be."

Shade wrinkled Brows raised.

Miss Prince has changed into a very nice blue dress, but her jewelry has not changed. After the two packed up, they left the apartment and took the carriage to the dock area.

The carriage carried them all the way to the trestle bridge in the dock area. The two put on masks before getting off the car, and then walked on the trestle side by side.

The sun completely disappeared below the horizon dozens of minutes ago, and night fell in Lengshuigang City. Coming to the beach, even though it is still summer, it still feels a little cold in the sea breeze.

Even if it is a small-scale auction, it will not be boldly carried out in the urban area of Lengshuigang under the eyes of the Church of the Five Gods. The specific location is at sea, and a masked banquet is held on the deck of the cruise ship for local noble ladies and gentlemen. Because it is masked, it is not difficult to imagine what the people who come to this banquet want to do.

And the ring warlocks, in the name of the participants of the deck banquet, reasonably wear masks to board the cruise ship, after the cruise ship leaves the coastline, participate in a small auction, and return to the port at midnight. Noble ladies and gentlemen will run out of the cabin room by night, kiss strangers goodbye and leave, and ring warlocks can also hide their identities.

A free-spirited and chaotic harbor city, where out-of-towners can encounter more unimaginable things.
