Whispering Poems.

The church has no plans to completely seal off the island at present, because of the existence of the white mist, there is no way for people to stay on the island or even around it for a long time.

"The Thirteenth Ring Road. Do you have any clues about the investigation of another island?"

"Unfortunately, no. If it wasn't for that night, many people saw another island, and even I might think it was an illusion. As for the captain we brought back, his soul disappeared. It seems that the ancestors It’s really well prepared.”

Xia De nodded, and then opened Professor Boulanger's letter.

Sure enough, Professor Boulanger had found the whereabouts of the owner of the pen, a lecturer at St. Fabry College in Willendale.

He wrote to friends of Willendale, and later learned that Truit-Giles had resigned from St. Fabry College shortly after he traveled alone to the Green Lake area three years ago.The destination after resignation is very clear. He is a bachelor and moved to Tobesk City in Delarion alone, and has always lived there.

Although he has never returned to Willendale since then, his former colleagues and friends still write to him occasionally, so they know that his life is not bad.However, this communication came to an abrupt end more than two months ago, at the beginning of 1854.

A friend of Professor Boulanger asked many people to inquire, and learned that during his stay in Tobesk, Durut Giles visited a highly respected old professor of history in the "Pearl of the North" many times to discuss issues together.So, if Shad wants to find out the whereabouts of Durut Giles, he can first go to Tobesk to find the old professor:
"The professor's name is. Tiris Manning. He has retired and lives at No. 17, Cat's Tail Lane, University District, Tobesk. Ha, I'm not surprised at all."

Because of [Happy Dream Pen], the old professor who revealed that he likes cat girls has given Xia De a lot of help during this year.The honorary doctorate Shade received a month ago was also thanks to the help of Professor Manning.Speaking of which, Xia De has not visited Professor Manning since he recovered from his illness, so this time is a good opportunity.

"Druit Giles has a clue?"

Seeing that Xia De had finished reading the letter, Megan asked curiously.Xia De nodded:
"Find him within two days. Whether it's dead or alive, the clue of the tomb robber is finally over."

With that said, he took out his notebook and flipped through it, which recorded the daily itineraries of Carsonrick's negotiating team and De La Rion's negotiating team:

"This week's negotiations are in Green Lake City. The morning schedule is that there is no meeting this morning. Representatives of Carson Rick will visit the local church?"

He sensed the current time, and there was almost an hour before the delegation would arrive at the "Church of War and Peace".It is also a very meaningful arrangement to use the Peace Church as the first stop of the visit.Although the negotiations between the two countries have not made much progress at present, this kind of courtesy arrangement is done very well.

"Megan, would you like to go to the Church of Peace with me?"

Xia De suddenly asked, Megan blinked in surprise:

"what?"

"I went to see the grandchildren of Edward Edwards to find a way to get the blood. Last time I suggested to them whether they want to meet you, they said they would think about it. If they agree this time, I will let you meet directly On the one hand, there are only the fifth and sixth generations of descendants of Edwards who are alive, and you haven't seen them yet, have you?"

Megan thought for a moment:
"I forgot how long I haven't been to church. No problem, I accept your invitation."

Xia De smiled:
"Haven't been to church for a long time? I'm different from you. I'm a loyal believer of [Mr. Dawn] and relatively loyal. In the area where I have lived for a long time, I am the core believer of the local church, and I am always invited to speak on Holy Prayer kind of."

"What is your social identity?"

The sorceress raised her face and asked Xia De, her eyelashes trembling slightly, this look is really charming.

"You'll find out next week, I promise."

Megan then said:

"Before I leave, I want to give you a gift. No, don't rush to refuse."

She took Shad's hand across the table:
"I touched that heart during the day on Monday, and after you came out of the water at night, I found that your expression was wrong. The emptiness and indifference in your heart will drive people crazy."

"But those things have passed, and I'm normal now. I talked to an old friend for a few words, and then I figured it all out."

But Megan still shook her head:
"You said it was a sequelae of your exposure to angel-level relics, don't say it so lightly. I have decades of experience in insanity and emotional disorders. I mean, I want to give you one that can enhance A relic of emotion. But I haven't got it yet, and I will take you there when we meet next time."

"A relic? Please don't give me anything too expensive."

Xia De shook his head immediately, and the sorceress smiled and said:

"You have helped me so much, can I even give you a gift?
And it's not very expensive, it's just to mobilize emotions.The poet-level relic [The Ring of Mind] is only used to enhance specific emotions and offset the wear and tear of emotions. Oh, it can also store certain emotions and release them for yourself when the time is right, making you a master of acting.The ancient wisdom engraved on that ring speaks to the importance of a richness of emotions to us. "

She coughed and said formally:

“[The blend of joy and sorrow is the inner interpretation of wisdom].”

Xia De felt inexplicably that this ring might be very suitable for his cat.If he remembered correctly, the side effect of the [Magic Ring of Immortality] obtained from the devil is that it will grind emotions.

Moreover, the sentence pattern of the ancient message on the ring is also very similar to the other five rings in "Mia's Five Rings".

Seeing that Megan insisted on giving him a gift, he didn't shirk anymore, but asked again:
"This ring is very suitable for assisting some thaumaturgy that requires extreme emotions. For example, my thaumaturgy of turning into an angel statue requires anger. The thaumaturgy that I recently learned to make ice cubes explode requires positive emotions. .Since it is a poet-level relic, the containment method should be very simple, and the negative characteristics are also very small, right?"

Megan nodded:
"According to the information I got, the containment of this relic is simple, and any walnut wooden box is fine. The side effect is that it may trigger extreme emotions and cause the ring warlock to lose control. Oh, and, if this relic is used to offset the wear and tear of other relics The negative effect of reducing emotion will cause permanent blindness. But the effect of canceling spellcasting, alchemical items and potions will not have this negative characteristic-emotion is blind, which is probably what it means.”

"Negating the effect of [Lord of Longevity] will lead to blindness."

Xia De nodded thoughtfully, thinking not about finding something to offset the negative characteristics of this relic, but thinking about how many rings can be strung on Mia's little tail.

Going to the church, the only thing worth noting is that you can't bring relics.After packing up, Xia De and Megan set off together.Her carriage was waiting outside the hotel, and it was another rainy day in Green Lake today.

It's just that the rain today is very light, and it doesn't even need an umbrella.This is the hazy drizzle that belongs to spring, and the rain on Monday was too exaggerated.

The War and Peace Church in Green Lake City is located in the city center, not far from the Green Lake Hotel.In front of the church is a large circular square. If it is not raining, you can see the white pigeons raised by the church. Unfortunately, those pigeons did not come out to look for food on rainy days.

Although the Kasenlik delegation is coming to visit today, the church has not been closed to receive other believers.The delegation doesn't have that much face yet to let the church do this.

It was still early when Shad and Megan arrived, so they didn't enter the church immediately, but waited in the carriage for a while.Through the window of the carriage, they could see the poor people waiting to receive relief food at the side door of the church, lining up against the wall.

This scene made foreigners feel a lot of emotion:
"It turns out that the Peace Church distributed relief food on Wednesday morning."

He remembered clearly that the dawn church was evening on the weekend.

"Yes, there will be more in winter. I heard from the girls in charge of the business in Green Lake City that in recent years, more and more poor people in Green Lake City have become beggars due to bankruptcy and unemployment, and people who line up to receive relief food There are more and more people."

Xia De nodded slightly, then asked again suddenly:

"And what about the City of Glass on the southern shore of Green Lake?"

"It's the same. Even though the industry and commerce in the City of Glass are more developed, there are more and more beggars. Therefore, people like Barry with a bad eye can recruit enough people. When a person can't support himself, he must find some way Let yourself live."

Seeing Xia De pursing his lips and looking outside, the brown-haired lady suggested again:

"We got a lot of money from the bad-eyed Barry. Since you and I don't want the dirty money, donate it to the church as mentioned before. However, we can't donate it all at once to prevent us from being found out. Linked to Barry."

She thought about it, wrote a note and handed it to the driver outside.The coachman left in a hurry, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, someone handed in a bearer money order through the window.

This money order can receive money just by showing it, without even a password or a key. It is one of the most convenient payment tools in this era.

The sorceress checked the money order, flicked it lightly, and handed it to Shad.

Xia De put it away, looked at the line outside the window in the rain and said:

"We all know that just donating a sum of money will not change the situation."

"You want to change the world?"

"No, of course not. I just want to reduce beggars so that people can rely on their own wisdom or strength to earn money and live a better life. This is a very idealistic idea, but the internal causes and results of civilization and progress are not just Is that so?"
