Whispering Verse

"Look, you still shed in the end."

Shade was kissed with tearful eyes.

Afterwards, being hugged by Luvia beside the bed, Shade softly told her about the battle that took place two nights ago in the depths of the swamp far away from the civilized world. He talked about how he was inspired by the "Cherubim" and understood the power of the chosen one who could record knowledge and wisdom. However, Luvia did not think as much as Shade thought and only thought it was the three stone tablets. , played a role in it.

"The qualifications of the fourth selected candidate are completely in our hands. We will discuss the ownership of the qualifications after Iluna comes back. Shade, you really changed everything."

"Isn't the plan going very smoothly? Moreover, I have even been promoted to the fifth ring, and now I am one level higher than you."

Shade said with a smile, Luvia let go of Shade:

"I am also in the middle. After touching this arrow, the four-ring spirit runes met the requirements. I asked Dorothy to help hold the promotion ceremony on Friday."

"Then tell me, how is the situation in the Pantanal?"

Shade held Luvia's hand, and the purple-eyed girl also held his hand tightly:

"Before that, promise me that no matter what else you have to deal with, you will not leave the manor until tomorrow morning. You have to take a good rest. I will help you ask for leave for the meeting at Dr. Schneider's in the afternoon. After all, it is just to inform you of the exam time. "

She said to Shade almost like an order. Shade knew that she was concerned about her health, so he nodded in agreement:

"But I must leave tomorrow. Some people are still waiting for news from me."

This refers to [Desire], and he is sure that the other party is still waiting for the essential oil in the pink perfume bottle in the lake.

"in addition."

Luvia sat down again and bit her lip:

"I'll come see you again tonight and help you check up on your health."

Seeing Shade looking at her in surprise, the purple-eyed girl explained:

"This can be regarded as a reward for you. When I hugged you just now, I didn't smell the maid's perfume on you. I will treat those five demigod witches as if they don't exist. After all, they are not our contemporaries, but Se Miss Witte."

She pouted slightly. After confirming Shade's safety, she was in a good mood. Such a small gesture had never happened before:

"To me, it's dangerous."

There was no scent of perfume because Tifa knew that Luvia would appear soon, and the maid lady never made mistakes when doing things.

Sister Devlin informed Luvia of the situation after the Battle of the Pantanal. The nun gained new powers after devouring the splitting flames of the "primordial fire". She put a small flame in a bottle and gave it to Luvia. As long as Luvia put the flame into the brazier, she could talk to Sister Devlin in the flame.

The situation in the Great Swamp was not completely calmed down as Shade thought. Even though the scattered light points when the witches exited soothed the land, the fire started by Sister Devlin still burned in the lakeside area surrounding the Pantanal Lake for a full twenty hours before it was extinguished. The first fire turned the "evil of the Pantanal" into firewood, but the power of the evil still seriously polluted the island in the middle of the Pantanal Lake and the nearby land, forcing the church to temporarily evacuate everyone. Out of the lake island.

Fortunately, only the area around the Pantanal Lake was seriously polluted, while other areas of the Everglades have returned to normal.

Of course, what the Five Gods Church and the three major colleges care most about now is not how to deal with the problem of non-proliferation pollution in the depths of the swamp that no one has ever set foot on. What they care about is the chosen ones.

With Luvia's consent, both Iluna and Sister Devlin admitted to the church that the "God Caller" had become the "chosen one for knowledge and wisdom" to prevent the church from thinking of other things. Under the joint investigation of the church and the three major academies, the five great witches who finally appeared have been confirmed not to belong to this era. Although the specific identities of all of them cannot be found out, it is certain that they all come from the Fifth Era.

Neither the church nor the academy could imagine what kind of power it was that could summon the powerful men of the Fifth Age to the modern age. After all, Shade's words of sublimation are completely different from those of normal ring warlocks.

"The nun said that the Witch Council recognized the five ladies, but they don't know who the caller is. Miss Aurora, Miss Carina and Miss Sylvia should all know what you did."

Luvia said to Shade, Shade shook his head indifferently:

"It doesn't matter. These three ladies are all trustworthy people. Moreover, I will give them a gift, a very precious gift."

"The gift you are talking about isn't you, is it?"

"Oh, Luvia, why do you think so? It's other gifts."

He stopped talking because Luvia teased:

"Actually, if you can make friends with more witches and let an ancient organization like the Witches Council help you without any scruples, our career will be smoother. You don't need to explain to me, I don't care what those witches think about you. Don’t come out.”

Purple eyes looked at Shade:

"As long as you ensure your own safety, no matter what the reason, you must return to me safely."

Shade nodded:

"Actually, as long as you kidnap Mia, even if I fall to death, I will definitely crawl back."

Luvia smiled and picked up the reluctant cat:

"Sister Devlin said that the church believes that the 'God Caller' may be the chosen one of time, so he can call power from the past."

"But I can't be the chosen one."

He took the arrow from the bedside table and stabbed it into his arm:

"You see, I did not become the chosen one for [Knowledge and Wisdom]."

With a little regret in his heart, he looked at Luvia with the arrow again, and looked at him with purple eyes, but shook his head slightly:

"No, right now, I'm not planning on being part of the epic."

Shade actually planned to give the qualification to Luvia at the beginning. Although he was a little regretful, he also roughly understood Luvia's thoughts. So, he just pierced Luvia's white arm with an arrow. After the bleeding point appeared, a slight amount of enlightenment elements were enriched, bringing the thaumaturgy of "fatal crisis" to the diviner.

This is a passive thaumaturgy that you can choose whether to turn on. Once turned on, any fatal crisis can be sensed a few seconds in advance. This is not a powerful perception, but a divination-type effect that is passively activated. The disadvantage is that the overly sensitive touch time of inspiration is not a good thing for the ring warlock.

Although the evil beings in the Pantanal were defeated, the unusual snow covering the western part of the Old World did not stop. Although the blizzard and heavy snow have weakened to light snow, this abnormal snow weather will still make this winter more difficult. The problems caused by the snow disaster have had a great impact on the lives of ordinary people. Whether it is Carson Rick or Delrayon, the biggest trouble this winter is dealing with the snow.

If not handled properly, even sowing this spring may be delayed by abnormal weather.

But Luvia thinks this is the best situation that can't be imagined.

For the ring magician organization that participated in the Battle of Pantanal, the church and the academy have more new questions. The attitude of the Witch Council needs Miss Carina to come back to know that the truth will all be withdrawn midway. The Pantanal Voodoo Order fell almost entirely into the hands of the church.

The biggest sinner who caused all this, the "Apna Library" that almost dominated all of this behind the scenes, successfully learned information about the "library that records all knowledge" on the island. Sister Devlin informed Luvia of the relevant news, and Luvia said with a smile:

"The revelation they received was 'the departing third of the moon', but it is obvious that this riddle is meaningless at all, and no one knows what it means. It will probably take hundreds of years for the Apna Library Only then can we gain more.”

But Shade probably guessed the meaning.

The information that Luvia told Shade that surprised him the most was the whereabouts of Sir Lykins Prisha, the protagonist of the Battle of Pantanal.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, he did not die. The church found him in the fire while cleaning the battlefield. Although Jazz was seriously injured and severely weakened by being used as a sacrifice by an evil creature, he was still alive. It's a pity that he went completely crazy, and his close contact with "the evil things of the Pantanal" caused irreversible damage to his spirit and soul. If it weren't for his angel blood, he might have directly transformed into a monster with mushrooms and vines growing on his body.

Sir is now taken away by the Natural Church and will be temporarily imprisoned in the Holy See of the Natural Church. Although it was impossible to obtain any information from him, he was once the chosen one after all, and the church did not care about wasting a piece of food by keeping him.

"That's fine. He knows that I, the doctor, and Margaret are ring magicians. This way, this information will not be leaked."

Shade sighed slightly and did not comment on the fate of this crazy seeker. He was just curious about what Miss Paavo got in that enlightenment, which was why she left the field with all the ring warlocks of the Truth Society in the middle of the battle.

Sister Devlin is still in the Everglades area at this time, leading the nuns of the [Spiritual Order] to cooperate with the Natural Church to heal the wounds in the swamp. Therefore, Luvia only knows these things for the time being, but she will always be with Dai Fulin. Sister Flynn stayed in touch. Shade was also happy to leave this matter to Luvia, and it was just right for Luvia to be responsible for the contact with the nuns.

Because there was still a meeting in the afternoon, after accompanying Shade for lunch, Luvia left Miss Carina's manor and returned to the city in a carriage in the snow.

Shade, who was still a little weak, waved goodbye to the carriage at the door of the manor's mansion and watched the carriage drive through the courtyard. Tifa stood behind him, watching Shade's waving movements, and suddenly smiled.

ps: Just to make sure, Lykins Prisha is not dead, he is completely crazy. It feels like this ending is more appropriate than direct death.

Remember this person, like Ivan Darkness (Death) and Joey Barton (Travel), there will be plots later.
