Whispering Verse

Perhaps for some people, Bella Brown's defection and appearance was an extremely important event, but for most citizens living in Tobesk, this matter would not have reached their ears at all.

Miss Brown and her fiancé followed the fleet south, and time did not stop because anyone left, everything continued.

In the two days after Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, nothing happened around Shade. However, Miss Sylvia took the time to come to Saint Teresa Square and talk to Shade about the topic of space power. Princess Margaret also wrote back to Shade. Although Sir Priscilla was surprised that Shade was a ring wizard, he agreed to Shade's invitation and agreed to meet Shade and him at Saint Teresa Square on Sunday afternoon. friend.

In this way, Shade only has the matter of "helping the bard find the yellow moon" to deal with. But unfortunately, the weather in Tobesk was not very good in the next two days, and the weather conditions at night were not enough for Shade to use the ritual to resonate with the power of the moon. So he devoted his time to intense review.

During this period, other incidents also occurred in the city. While Shad was curled up in front of the fireplace at home reading a book, organizations including the Truth Society, together with the Orthodox Church and professors from the three major colleges, met other secret keepers in the city.

According to the information that Shade received from Luvia on Saturday morning, the church seemed to have a vague idea that the fourth chosen one’s ceremony would be held not locally, but somewhere further south.

The church captured a ring sorcerer from the Pantanal Voodoo Society during the operation. Although the man committed suicide in time and caused a lot of trouble with his suicide flip, and was unable to channel souls, the diviners of the Seer Association learned from him. Useful information was found on the body.

On the other hand, Shade's investigation of Sir Lykins Prisha has not made any progress, but Iluna has found out that there are several strange murders and thefts surrounding Lykins Prisha. Find out.

Luvia was very concerned about this, and she rarely urged Shade to find out about Sir Prisha as soon as possible. She had a hunch that before the end of Universal Calendar 1853, the affairs of the fourth chosen one would definitely be over.

And now, it is the 14th day of the Sleeping Moon.

It was also this Saturday that Miss Denister came to Tobesk from St. Byrons. She did not visit Shade at home, but exchanged several letters with Shade to confirm that she would meet the "Guiding Moon" on Sunday afternoon. After all, she is a thirteen-ring warlock. Entering the core parish of the Zhengshen Church will inevitably cause some inconvenience, so she cannot meet with Shade at will.

On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Schneider also brought the four members of the group news about exam week. Everyone is very busy as the end of the year approaches. Only Shade and the doctor even attended the study meeting last week. And this week, Priest August, Dorothy and Luvia all had to leave before three o'clock, so the doctor kept the story short:

"This year's exam week is scheduled after the New Year's Day. It's our group's turn, probably on the first, second or third day of the New Year."

The other four people calculated the time:

"Wednesday, Thursday or Friday?"

Shade asked.

"Yes, like the summer exam week, it also lasts a whole day. Shade, you have to test the contents of two grades, and this time you probably have the longest time. In addition, I need to make sure whether it is still possible this time. Can I use your home as the exam location? The space there is bigger after all, and the roads are closer to everyone except me."

the doctor asked again.

"No problem at all."

Shade immediately agreed, which was more convenient for him.

It is now the fourteenth day of the Sleeping Moon, and there are still two to three weeks until exam week. No matter how well prepared we are, everyone is still a little nervous. After all, except for the special situation of Xia De in the summer, the upgrade time is only once at the end of the year. If you make a mistake in the exam this time, you will have to wait another year.

On Saturday nights, Dorothy stayed at No. 6 St. Teresa Square as usual, but after returning home after dinner, Shade and Dorothy discussed it and decided to cancel the last few Saturday dates. Shade Girls need help to obtain the four-ring Enlightenment Rune.

His fourth ring currently has four spiritual runes, Miracle-Rage, Profanity-Red Moon, Profanity-Thunder and Whisper-Power. Seeing that the story of the fourth chosen one is coming to an end, Shade must consider promotion to the next level.

After all, being promoted to the fifth ring not only means an increase in strength, but also means that he can use his own words of sublimation.

The power of the Word of Sublimation cannot be used frequently, and ritual aids need to be prepared in advance to prevent the doctor from being "paralyzed" in bed by forcibly using the power at Lakeview Manor. But the word of sublimation is indeed the closest power to the gods that mortals can master. Shade is very curious about the specific effect of his word of sublimation, "the reverberation of time and space shakes the sleeping power."

The four-ring enlightenment rune that Shade chose for himself is [Water of Wisdom], which is the ancient story about the wise man that he saw at the sacrificial site on the top of the mountain.

Although Dorothy has never obtained the spiritual runes related to this, this ancient story is quite famous. She and Lesia also have a lot of experience in obtaining enlightenment spiritual runes, and they devoted themselves to assisting Shade on Saturday night. After studying, the two stayed in the study until eleven o'clock before returning to the bedroom to rest.

The blonde girl saw that Shade was worried, but she didn't ask him, but gave him a very gentle hug. Ms. Writer is always so considerate, which even Lesia cannot compare to.

Early Sunday morning, Shade woke up in his bedroom bed. Dorothy was still sleeping, so Shade tiptoed out of bed, washed briefly, went to the attic, and then lifted the old kerosene lamp from the table.

After giving the small flames originally collected to Sister Devlin this week, the sparks inside finally gathered into a small cluster of flames. Following the method taught by Sister Devlin, Shade carefully pulled out the flames.

Just as he was planning to temporarily integrate the "Fire of the Sun" into his own flame, and then take him to the snowy mountains of the Fifth Age, he suddenly felt a strong gaze staring at him.

Turning his head, little Mia, who was supposed to be sleeping next to the pillow, had climbed up to the attic at some point and was looking at him with big amber eyes.

"Meow~"

It swung its tail and came to Shade's feet, rubbing Shade's legs docilely.

"A good cat can't play with fire."

Shade warned, then contained the flames the way Sister Devlin had taught her.

Only he who is carrying the embers of the original fire can do this, and if he contains the fire of the sun for a long time, it is very likely that he will be contaminated by the power of the sun. Only this time, Shade was not for the "Sun" spirit rune, but for Miss Chloe, who was still freezing in the snowy mountains.

The cat, slightly aggrieved and disappointed, followed Shade back to the second floor, and then watched him pack his things and prepare to set off. In the last adventure, Miss Chloe just asked Shade to prepare some common spell-casting materials, so Shade didn't need to bring anything extra. He just focused on turning the fresh vegetables and meat he bought in advance into toys and brought them with him.

And when he took out the time key and was about to leave, the cat meowed softly and followed Shade's feet again, as if it wanted to go to the snowy mountains with Shade:

"It's too cold out there for a little animal like you to stand."

Shade refused the cat's request without thinking, but Mia kept barking and even woke up Dorothy:

"If it wants to follow you, turn it into a toy and carry it with you. When you encounter a safe and warm environment, let it out; if it is always dangerous, never change it back."

The blonde girl suggested in the bedroom, her tone was quite lazy, so Shade turned the cat into a toy:

"You can sleep a little longer, Dorothy, and then I'll get going."

"You'd better not smell any strange perfume when you come back."

Dorothy said lazily, while Shade walked to the door where he was lying on his side and officially started the journey:

"May the World Tree protect me in time."

The white mist, like silk, represents the story at the other end of the long river of time.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】

[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree": ]

[Winter 903 of the Fifth Age, Northern Continent, Silver Mountains. 】

[Event: Lost in the Snow Mountain. 】

[Duration is forty minutes (2/3). 】

[You have obtained additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】

[The test given to you by the ancient god of time will continue. 】

[Assist the god ‘Winter Maid’ to escort the lost people to the top of the mountain. 】

[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy - Light of Confinement, and Curse - Flying Flower Curse. 】

Even though he was prepared, when Shade stepped out of the "Time Corridor" filled with endless white mist, he still fell into the snow with one foot, and did not stop until the snow reached his shoulders.

"That's it again."

Shade lowered his head and took a mouthful of snow in resignation. He waited until the strange snow water emitting silvery white light flowed into his stomach, then used "Raglai's Jump" to jump to a big rock not far away, then took off his shoes and barefooted He stood on the snow with his feet on the ground.

The towering snow-capped mountains exude a strange luster under the colorful black sky. And the position at this time is indeed no longer the position when he left last time.

Judging from the height of the nearby mountain peaks, this time it is closer to the top of the snow-capped mountains than the last location. This means that while Shade was away, the three of them, Miss Chloe, braved the snowstorm to move. A long distance:

"Can you help me estimate the distance?"

Shade put his right hand on his forehead and squinted at the peak.

[According to the comparison between the height of the mountain last time and this time, they have already walked two-thirds of the way while you were away. If the speed remains unchanged, they can successfully reach the top of the mountain. 】
