Whispering Verse

Shade, who was holding a box in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, was led by Sister Devlin through the elevator inside the sacrificial site and arrived at the true "First Fire Sacrificial Site" located on the ground floor.

The flames of the original fire were burning in the center of the upward circular sacrificial field. The nun's weapon [Ashes End] was inserted diagonally in the center of the bonfire, and the flames were licking the strange sword.

"Offer firewood."

A blind nun wearing a gray nun's robe stood next to the brazier, her silver eyepatch reflecting the unstable dancing light of the fire.

Shade handed the flask containing the "Demon Remains" to the nun, and the nun put her right hand into the flames. The first fire ignited her right hand almost immediately. At the same time as the burn marks appeared, the cracks on the skin surface spread all over the nun's body from the flames, and sparks appeared at the tips of the decayed long gray hair.

Sister Devlin, who was ignited by the first fire, also put her left hand into the flames of the bonfire. As the "Devil's Remains" held in both hands were completely swallowed up, the weak flames suddenly shot upward, as if celebrating the ignition of new firewood.

At the same time, traces of the "remnants of the original fire" also appeared on Shade's body. The strength of the original fire also made the flames in his body even more powerful.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

"Offer fire."

The nun spoke softly again, her voice as steady and soothing as glacier water.

Shade opened the shade of the lantern, and Sister Devlin still stretched out her hand. This time it was his hands, the hands with cracked surfaces and the color of magma flowing through them, covering the weak flames in Shade's home that had been collected for 8 days by the "fire of the sun".

Compared to the First Fire she was guarding, the sun's flames burned the nun's porcelain-like skin more mercilessly. The nun only trembled slightly, but Shade still noticed a flush on her fair cheeks under her eye patch.

The nun took out the lantern and put the flame into the brazier. The two strange flames merged together and became the same flame very naturally. The initial fire that was fused with the "Fire of the Sun" appeared a dull golden color, but soon returned to its original color.

Sister Devlin ignored the burn marks on her hands and closed her hands inward in the brazier. All the flames immediately gathered in her hands, until the flames in her palms turned into the shape that Shade was familiar with, the round flames dragging their tails upward.

She did not take the "primordial fire" directly into her body, but turned her trembling body towards Shade:

"Hero who inherited the first fire, please touch the darkness within me at this moment."

Quite ancient grammar, with a trembling voice, said words that Shade didn't quite understand.

【She wants to give you strength. 】

"She" said in Shade's ear with a smile.

Sure enough, the nun with flames flowing all over her body held the weak first flame toward Shade, so Shade knelt down on one knee and stretched out his right hand between the nun's hands.

At this moment, he is like a hero endowed with power in an old oil painting. When he put his hand between the nun's burned hands, the flames followed Shade's right arm and engulfed him as well.

In that firelight, the original fire gave Shade new powers:

[Outlander, your cold resistance has been greatly enhanced, and your fire resistance has been greatly enhanced. 】

"I'm sorry, even with the new firewood, the flame is still weak, and I can't provide you with more power."

The nun said softly, not as excited as Shade thought.

"It doesn't matter."

Shade stood up and looked at the flames between Sister Devlin's hands:

"Although it is not 100% certain, there is a high probability that the selection ceremony of the fourth selected person will be held in the Pantanal area. By then, we will not only have the opportunity to go to the center of the swamp to recover the split The flames may even confront the evil in the Pantanal.”

Sister Devlin had a faint smile on her face:

"I will act together with the witches, and then you can go to the ceremony site with us."

Shade nodded and looked at the [Ash End] sword that was still burning in the brazier:

"Sister, I have something to ask you. I know that the [Spiritual Order] also has the tradition of worshiping the moon. Do you have any method to enhance the power of perceiving the moon? I wonder if you have heard about Tobesk. I'm looking for an item that represents the yellow moon."

The nun nodded:

"Follow me to the library to get books. As long as you are interested in the knowledge here, you can borrow it. However, you need additional ritual materials to enhance the moon's perception."

"Can I use moonlight water?"

"Pure moonlight?"

The nun "looked" at Shade:

"That's enough."

"Then, do you have a way to temporarily integrate me with the fire of the sun, and then take out the flame at the right time?"

This is for the witch Miss Cloyin who is trapped in the "Silver Mountains". Shade cannot carry extraordinary items to the past at will, especially since the items are not "mission items". But if he can temporarily assimilate the "Fire of the Sun", then this flame can appear in the past with Shade like the first fire.

"The original fire can contain any flame it has swallowed. This requires the skill of manipulating flames. I will teach you."

Her hand held Shade's hand. Shade was startled and looked up to see Sister Devlin's face flushed, but he was not sure whether it was an illusion in the dim light.

After bidding farewell to Sister Devlin that afternoon, Shade went to Cassandra Auction House to visit Grace and Helen. It is also snowing in Fort Midhill today, and the Red Butterfly Twins are checking the contained relics in the basement with the witch apprentice Miss Swift.

It happened that nothing happened today. Before leaving Fort Midhill, Shade finally fulfilled his promise, took sisters Grace and Helen, and borrowed the power of [Magician's Escape Box] from Fort Midhill. Went to No. 6, Saint Teresa Square.

The fifteen-year-old girl, who was wearing a black dress and a white dress respectively, seemed particularly excited about this short trip. And Xiao Mia felt particularly unhappy about the arrival of two more strangers.

"Sir, this is where you live now?"

Even though Helen, as "Miss Black," had peeked into the place where Detective Sparrow lived, it was still extremely interesting to appear here with her sister and Shade this time.

The twin girls did not ask for more. They just had dinner with Shade at his home, sat in front of the fireplace and listened to him tell his stories, and set off back to Fort Midhill at half past nine in the evening.

According to experiments, just as Shade guessed, the Red Butterfly Twins can use the [Space Maze] to move by touching the statue of the ancient god.

After all, the power of the twins comes from the old god [Gemini God], and the old god [Gemini God] carries the power of the ancient god [Primary Crack] whose image is a "two-headed" god. Although Grace and Helen did not inherit the power of space, as relics, the source of their power is indeed the ancient god.

After setting up the road sign at No. 6 St. Teresa Square this time, they will no longer have to go through the [Magician's Escape Box] to go between Midburg and Shade's house. But it is a pity that although following Shade or being at No. 6 St. Teresa Square allowed the Geminis to leave Midhill Castle for a short time, this short "trip" also told them that they cannot do this frequently. .

Therefore, Helen, Grace and Shade made an agreement to visit Shade once a month in the future. After Shade agreed, the two girls kissed Shade on the cheek. After saying goodbye to Shade with a smile, they held hands and touched the statue in the basement and left.

"Speaking of which, when I saw them this time, they seemed to look a little more mature than last time."

Shade thought as he walked out of the basement. He reached into his pocket and found a handkerchief he had never seen before. Only then did he realize that Helen had secretly stuffed it into his pocket when they parted. The handkerchief has a black lace edge and even the residual heat of body temperature. Among the Geminis, Helen prefers this color scheme.

[As their injuries heal, their appearance will change towards their true form, which is in their twenties. 】

"She" said softly, Shade nodded, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and stuffed it into his pocket again:

"Although this time, they can't accompany me to participate in the final battle of the Chosen One Ceremony, but they might be able to help me with something in the future."

[Is this really the only thing you think about? 】

she asked with a smile.

It’s Wednesday, the day of the red butterfly. Shade had planned to go to Dorothy early in the morning and then wait until the official start of Red Butterfly Day at noon. But during breakfast, Miss Denister sent a message through the poem manuscript page, which made Shade put down the half-eaten bread and went to the St. Byrons Library through the projection.

It's still the open space in the center of the library, still sitting on the chair facing the coffee table and sofa. After Shade came back to his senses, he immediately saw the very familiar stone slab placed on the coffee table.

It is about the size of a palm, with the ancient rune number "three" on its surface. The three corners are clearly the corners of a large piece of topaz.

The tablet obtained from Mr. Edmond has the number "two" and silver corners; the tablet obtained from the Apner Library has the number "one" and ruby ​​corners.

He even forgot to say hello and asked in disbelief:

"This is......"

The librarian lady put down her teacup:

"Yes, what you are looking for. It is indeed in the library. I hired a dozen students to help search for it, and it took me half a week to find it. There are too many books and treasures in the college library. This kind of Items whose dangers have not been discovered and whose value is unclear are often placed in a suitable place by a certain generation of librarians, and no one pays attention to them anymore.”

Miss Denister said, before telling Shade the bad news.
