Whispering Verse

At 8:13 pm, while passing through a swamp covered with heavy snow, the undead horse summoned by Miss Aurora was grabbed by the hooves of the horse's hoof stretched out from the swamp. This did not prevent the undead horse from continuing to move forward, but it caused the undead mount to suddenly mutate, and then frantically tried to get the people off the horse.

Although it only took a short time to destroy these crazy undead, the mounts that were summoned again were still crazy. As a last resort, Miss Aurora and Miss Carina checked the swamp under the snow, pulled out the terrifying undead with hundreds of hands hidden in the mud, and burned them black in the snowstorm. Only then did the undead summons in this area temporarily return to normal.

The malice of the Great Swamp was becoming more and more obvious to these outsiders as the group moved forward. Before setting off, Shade was thankful that this battlefield was far away from human settlements. No matter how hard the fight was, he didn't have to worry about other things. But now it seems that this kind of isolated fighting location in an inaccessible area is not good for them. After all, Lykins Plisha has the help of the Pantanal Voodoo Society, and Miss Pavo also cooperates with the Voodoo Society. Because of their relationship, their trip to Lake Center Island was as easy as going home.

At 8:57 in the evening, without any warning, the horse at the end disappeared silently, and above it was Miss Aurora and her follower Miss Scarlett.

Neither Shade nor the other two great witches could find out when they disappeared.

But Miss Carina asked everyone to move forward without worrying:

"Her summons still exist, and she is the strongest among us. Now it is not so much that Sylvie and Scarlett have disappeared, but that we have disappeared."

After Miss Aurora temporarily leaves the team, this eleventh-level witch will be the temporary leader of the team:

"Before we set off, we expected that we would be scattered along the way. Let's keep moving forward and Xiwei will find us."

At about nine o'clock the next night, the group encountered a naturally formed abnormal space area. Miss Sylvia and Shade used the power of space to temporarily suppress the circulating space, allowing the group to temporarily escape.

After another strong earthquake and a flash of light in the eastern snowy night, Shade and Miss Sylvia, who were checking whether the abnormal space area had expanded due to the earthquake, unexpectedly found Miss Carina waiting for them behind them. Together with two other sorceresses, Miss Avril and Miss Catherine, they disappeared into the blizzard.

"If we look at the numbers, we should have disappeared this time."

Sylvia didn't look worried at all. She tightened her scarf and said to Shade with a smile:

"If we are forced to separate later, just move forward on your own, don't worry about me."

As she spoke, she took off the ring on her left hand and handed it to Shade. That is a sage-level relic [ancient witch’s golden ring, second from left]. Although the wearer will receive the witch’s curse, it will also enhance all extraordinary powers:

"You need it more than I do."

The young witch with black shawl hair said, and just as she said, when they continued to move forward and reached a position two miles (about 3.2km) away from the deepest lake in the swamp, they dismounted with Shade. , Miss Sylvia, who was checking the edge of the dense fog area, also lost her trace.

The angelic relic [The Persistent Mist] seemed to be cut off at the middle at some invisible line. There was a thick fog behind us, but in front of us we could clearly see the Great Swamp Trail in a deep winter snowstorm.

Shade led the horse that was still following him and crossed the line to the area where the fog did not exist. After feeling a moment of confusion and throbbing pain in his temples, he immediately understood what was going on:

"The whispering element and the blasphemous element... There has been a problem with the seal of the evil object in Pantanal. The angel-level relic is not cut off here, but it does not dare to move forward at all. After all, it is only angel-level, not Unknowable level.”

He looked down at the clear footprints left by Miss Sylvia on the snow:

"This is the third time someone has disappeared. This is not a change in space power."

[Similar to a certain natural phenomenon, the power of evil things in subspace has begun to affect reality. But there shouldn't be any danger. There are still many secrets in this large swamp. 】

"No matter what, let's move forward. The witches are stronger than me, so it's me who should be worried. However, this time it's just me."

He thought silently in his mind, got on his horse, and pulled the scarf upward to cover the lower half of his face.

【Is not it good? 】

she asked with a smile, and the howling wind in the dark night could not obscure her voice.

"It's hard to evaluate."

Shade grabbed the reins and prepared to continue setting off, but suddenly frowned and looked ahead.

Visibility was poor in the snowstorm, but he made sure there was no one among those horrible dead trees hung with frost before he mounted his horse. But at this time, the lady who was still wearing a long skirt even in the middle of the snowstorm was standing not far away holding her big book.

The familiar long skirt with black top and red bottom and the large silver book that shimmered slightly in the snowy night all reminded Shade of the other party's identity.

Miss Paavo nodded and smiled at the man on the horse. The wind and snow pulled the hem of her skirt and swayed it back, but there were no snowflakes on her body. If you look carefully, you can see that the shoes under the skirt are standing directly on the snow instead of sinking into the thick snow.

Shade dismounted again, holding the reins and looking at Miss Pavo from a distance.

"My book tells me that if I reach this position now, I can see the person who has the highest probability of hindering the ceremony tonight."

Miss Pavo's voice was a little blurry due to the howling wind. She did not recognize Shad. After all, Shad's entire face was covered with only his eyes exposed. When riding a horse in a snowstorm, you must take the most basic protection. measure.

"I thought I would meet the first two chosen ones, Miss Bayas and Sister Devlin, or the crazy women from the Witch Council, but I didn't expect to meet you..."

She looked at the bloated Shade and asked hesitantly:

"God Caller?"

Shade didn't say anything. In his hand that was not holding the reins, silver-white thunder exploded. This was the casting action of the thaumaturgy [Thunder Spear].

Miss Paavo smiled and took two steps back. She seemed not to care about her surroundings at all:

"We met at Schluch Lake in Lakeview Manor. At that time, your companion was a somewhat unattractive lady and a very ugly dog. I was quite impressed by your thunder gun. Sir, I don't want to be with you. You fight here."

She took a step back slightly:

"Just curious who the funniest person is tonight."

Shade still didn't speak, looking at the other person quietly. If he doesn't use other means, he certainly can't defeat the lady in front of him, and his means are prepared for the chosen one. If possible, he doesn't want to waste his time here.

"Now that I've met you, I guess I should... almost forget something."

She smiled and said to Shade:

"The crazy seeker of knowledge - Mr. Lykins Plischar, is a person with a strong sense of ritual. When he learned about the Voodoo Society, our people and his other helpers, he set out in different directions to intercept the intruders. After entering, he asked us to bring you a message..."

The group of ring magicians who apparently helped Lykins Priscia were not just the Voodoo Order of the Pantanal and the Order of Truth. Just as the Witch Council wants to take the lead in the epic of the Sixth Age, as the rumors of the chosen ones spread to the entire material world, they are not the only ones who have this idea.

"What did he say?"

Shade asked in extremely proficient Kassenric.

"The chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom, if they want to touch the crown of wisdom, need to pass the five tests of the secret keeper. And you, the spectators, if you want to witness the ceremony of the chosen one, bathe in the enlightenment of the ceremony , naturally we need to pass the test. We are still two miles away from the final ceremony location, and the danger ahead is the test."

She said with a smile and backed away slowly. Obviously, like Shade, she was not willing to fight someone she could not defeat here.

"Viewer? This title is quite appropriate... Do you know that the number of wise man's pyroxenes is five?"

Shade frowned slightly, Miss Paavo's voice was quite clear in the wind and snow:

"Yes, this part is on a stone tablet unearthed on the eastern coast of the Old World this summer."

A poem may mention the same content repeatedly in different paragraphs, just like a normal poem may mention sentences such as "the sun is shining" in different paragraphs. Therefore, although Miss Pavo's knowledge of the "Five Pyroxenes" was unexpected, it was not surprising. What Shade was curious about at this moment was that since she already knew about the "Five Pyroxenes", why was she always looking for the "Secret of Agelessness"?

This lady will not do meaningless things. She chased Margaret from Huntington to Tobesk. The secret hidden in "The Secret of Agelessness" seems to be more important than Shade thought. If Luvia's divination this time was as terrifyingly accurate as every time before, Shade could almost imagine what was in the "Secret of Agelessness".

The problem is, he doesn't know how to take it out.

"Please wait."

Shade stopped the sorceress who was about to leave, and still asked in Kasenric:

"You call Lykins Priscia a 'crazy seeker', how about I call you a 'sane mathematician'?"

"My pleasure."

The sorceress bowed slightly in the snow.

"You are helping the Chosen One for the enlightenment of the Chosen One Ceremony. So does the Society of Truth know that the Chosen One with knowledge and wisdom is not necessarily Lykins Prisha?"

"Just like the chosen one of death is not our Joey Barton, but the blind nun?"

She raised her head and looked at the man holding the horse, with a slightly more serious expression on her face:

"After the Middleburg incident, speculation about the existence of a candidate system for the elected has appeared. It seems that you really know more things."

"I can tell you who the lower candidate is for the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom, but you have to answer me a question."

The dark clouds on the snowy night covered the starry sky and the moon, so there was no light source here. On the snowy surface of the ancient road between dead trees, a young gentleman holding a horse looked at a young woman wearing an autumn dress from a distance.

The expressions of both of them were a little serious, and the doubts in Xia De's heart needed to be verified. Miss Paavo whispered softly:

"Of course, I am even more curious than the lower-ranked candidates - Godcaller, what is the question that deserves you to tell me such an important answer at this moment?"

ps: Let me state here that Miss Paavo will not be the heroine, nor will she be whitewashed. There is always a need for important supporting villains who appear for a long time. For example, "Hermons the Bloodweeper" has two volumes offline.
