Whispering Verse

The angel smiled and said goodbye to Shade, and grabbed his staff again:

"I will always be at the Lake of Cherubim in Huntingdon, waiting for the arrival and visit of mortals until the day when the world ends and our Lord awakens. If necessary, I look forward to your next arrival. May the light of knowledge and wisdom bless you, Goodbye."

White traces of light closed between Shade and the angel, and the "Lady of the Lake" disappeared. She didn't care about the chosen one, let alone the evil thing that was about to be unsealed.

Shade felt very confused now. He seemed to have heard an amazing sentence just now. He even thought he didn't understand it completely.

[Do I need to repeat that? 】

"She" whispered softly in Shade's heart.

"What is this? The recorder contains knowledge...the cooperation of the ancient gods' power? Also, where do I have the power of the 'recorder'? I don't only have the power of the moon..."

The three stone slabs that were used as defenses in his arms were faintly heating up. In any case, the qualifications of the fourth chosen candidate could be transferred even after a ceremony, which was quite favorable news for Shade.

Looking at the slightly heated golden pyroxene in his palm, resisting the urge to swallow its power, Shade used trembling hands to stick the pyroxene between his eyebrows according to the angel's instructions, and then he heard a sigh:

[Outlander, you have obtained "Witch Reverberation Teresa". 】

He felt as if his forehead was kissed, and then a golden stream of light emerged from the pyroxene and bloomed at the top of the lighthouse. But no one among the people fighting in the wind and snow knew what was happening on the top of the lonely tower.

The golden stream of light fell to the ground, outlining the dress of the young witch wearing glasses. The transparent figure emerging from the golden light appeared in front of Shade, holding up his skirt:

"Good day, Shade."

Miss Schultz Theresa looked a little more mature than when Shade met her:

"I successfully graduated."

There was a smile on her transparent and beautiful face, and a little joy in her tone. Those eyes were looking at Sha De, and the secret keeper who was waiting for the answer was also looking at Sha De.

She couldn't wait to tell the good news that spanned a thousand years, as if she had been waiting her whole life to tell Shade these words.

"Thank you for the gift."

Even though he knew that this figure was just leaving a message, Shade still said it.

Miss Teresa nodded slightly:

"This pyroxene belonged to you. You were supposed to overfulfill the problem of the Old God [Indefinite Wise Man], but you left before you made a wish."

Once the owner of the pyroxene dies, even if the pyroxene is given to someone else, it will turn into a useless stone. Since the witch said at this moment that "the pyroxene belongs to you", the fact that this pyroxene from the Fifth Age can still be used does not mean that the witches are still alive.

The golden figure opened his arms and hugged Shade, but Shade felt nothing:

"My aunt and I found the angel you mentioned and left this gift to you. In addition, my aunt also recorded the knowledge of 'eternal beauty' she obtained from the gods. That is God's Knowledge cannot be written down randomly, so we wrote down the wisdom we gained from it and hid it in a book."

She blinked at Shade from close range:

"That book is - "The Secret of Agelessness"."

Shade's guess was not wrong. It seemed that Miss Pavo was looking for "The Secret of Agelessness" not for the fragments of the poem above, but for the knowledge of the Witch Emperor. This knowledge was what made her spend so much time chasing after Margaret.

"Please call our names, kiss the book, and hope that our knowledge can help you."

She finally bowed to Shade:

"I wish we could meet again."

In the flickering light, Miss Teresa, who was holding her ball gown and bowing her body, also disappeared from Shade's eyes, but the reverberation of the witch still echoed in his heart. The golden light points merged into Shade's body, restoring his spirit that had been lost along the way.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a beam of pure white light fell from the sky and landed in the center of Stonehenge far away from the lighthouse. The time has come and Sir Lykins Prisha's ceremony has officially begun.

“So, how do you maintain eternal beauty?”

The secret keeper who just bowed to the angel asked Shade softly after the witch disappeared.

Shade took out "The Secret of Agelessness" again with some sentimentality, and while the bells were ringing in Stonehenge, he kissed the pages:

"Miss Violet, Miss Theresa."

"The Secret of Agelessness" was reduced to ashes in the fire, but a roll of parchment appeared in the ashes. This is the real "Secret of Agelessness". Like the "Pink Book" of [Desire], they are comprehensive books that describe a certain category of thaumaturgy and spells.

Although the parchment does not look long, the special technology allows it to record much more knowledge than it seems. Looking through the bright light of the lighthouse, the first two-thirds of the parchment roll are filled with dense letters belonging to Miss Violet; the last one-third is filled with Miss Teresa's graceful handwriting, and finally, the words Thirteen All information about the ring magic "Immortal Witch".

"This is the secret of eternal beauty. The old gods [the uncertain wise men] told it to the witches of the Fifth Age, and the witches told it to me."

Shade showed the roll of parchment, and the secret keeper finally showed a satisfied smile:

"So, what knowledge do you need?"

"Ask for nothing."

The secret keeper handed over the blue wise man's pyroxene.

Find the invisible man, defeat the devil, find the yellow moon, give the secret of eternal beauty, tell the number of angels.

The five trials of the Keeper of Secrets represent the five Wise Pyroxenes. Now, four blue, one gold and five stones are all lying in Shade's pocket.

"Before I leave, I have one more gift I want to give you."

The secret keeper continued:

"To thank you for allowing me to see the Cherubim again."

He extended his hand to Shade. Shade hesitated and handed over the [Night Watchman].

The latter stroked the sword and said softly:

"The great one gives this sword the power to make your physical strength endless; the angel gives this sword the power to pierce the soil and gush out endless spring water; I am just an ordinary secret keeper, guarding secrets in place of the ancient gods. , spread knowledge. All I can give you is these small powers."

He stabbed the [Night Watcher] into the brick cracks of the lighthouse, and then looked at Shade:

"When you hold this sword in your hand, wise man, you can see your own power, nothing more."

"Why do you call me wise man?"

Shade asked, looking at the long sword that was pierced into the cracks of the bricks. The light of the pure white light beam in the sky illuminated the side of his face.

"Have you completed the test of the God of Wisdom?"

"Yes, God gave me three tests."

"Have you completed the Cherubian test?"

"Yes, the angel gave me four tests."

"Have you completed the Keeper's test?"

"Yes, the Keeper of Secrets gave me five tests."

The secret keeper in front of him bowed slightly:

"You become stronger and prove yourself in test after test. Knowledge is your strength and wisdom is your wealth. In any era, mortals who have accomplished such great deeds are enough to become legends. Enough to be called a wise man.”

He retreated into the dark shadow on the top floor of the lighthouse:

“May your future be bright, for the fire of wisdom shines upon you.”

Shade's right hand was still aimed at the light source of the lighthouse, and some vague feelings came to his mind:

"Three plus four plus five are a total of twelve tests... Twelve divine sublimations... This is indeed representative..."

At this time, there was the sound of stamping on the stairs below, and not long after, the silent Sister Devlin appeared from the stairs where the secret keeper disappeared.

There were still snowflakes on her shoulders, but she seemed to have understood all the situations at the moment. Like Shade, she stretched out her hand towards the light source.

A white hand was pointed at the center of the glowing kerosene lamp, and the steady light was visibly enhanced by the naked eye. In the kerosene lamp, the flame of the original fire sensed the appearance of the fire-bearing nun and fully appeared. The seal is further strengthened, and Shade can finally leave here.

He let go of his hand and came to the edge of the fence, overlooking Stonehenge in the distance. He didn't have any conversation with Sister Devlin. The sister "saw" the life ring behind Shade, which emerged in the thick steam mist.

The bouncing brass-colored spiritual light continued to intensify as the life ring rotated in the top space of the semi-enclosed lighthouse.

Shade took out "Water of Wisdom" that Dorothy helped copy from his arms. It described the story of three people seeking help from wise men, but in the end the three of them helped each other. There has never been any water of wisdom that directly enhances intelligence, there is only the wisdom of mortals themselves.

The brass aura shone on the copy of the rubbings, and every letter shone in the aura, as if it would jump out of the paper at the next moment.

"The church's team was fighting something I can't describe outside the Pantanal Lake. At least three thirteen-ring warlocks were working together to suppress an unknown thing, which should be related to the Pantanal evil thing. Ancient evil things that were sealed together.”

Sister Devlin said softly, and when Shade didn't say anything, she continued:

"There are also very strange things in the big lake. Although I don't know why, the strange things in the lake have been hidden at the bottom of the lake and have not appeared, but the church asked my friend, the thirteen-ring warlock 'Nightmare Witch' Miss Maria of the Church of Nature, to stay By the lake."

Everything in the lake is probably suppressed by [Desire]. As a level 0 relic, nothing in this area is stronger than her for the time being, even though Shade has never seen her show any combat power.

"The 'Sunshine Sword' of the Church of the Sun did not go deep into the Great Swamp, and encountered the 'Mirror Hidden Man', a thirteen-ring warlock from the cult organization [Mirror Association] in the outer area."

This is a thirteen-ring warlock from a cult organization that is rare in the material world. Shade suspects that the "Mirror Man" he and Iluna encountered who can disguise themselves as acquaintances was created by this organization.
