Whispering Verse

I don’t know what Sister Devlin has been busy with recently. Since 1854, Shade has not been able to meet her every time he visited Cassandra Auction House. After this meeting, Shade learned that Sister Devlin had left Fort Midhill some time ago to assist Miss Aurora who was in contact with the [Earth-Shaking Worm] Order.

The old lady Ilar was unwilling to hand over the god-summoning ritual easily, but finally agreed that as long as Miss Aurora helped her complete three things, the ritual information could be handed over to the Witches' Council. And Sister Devlin went to assist the witch to kill a giant worm that was hiding underground and burned it as firewood.

Now there is only one last task left for Old Mrs. Ilar. It is expected that by the end of this month, Miss Aurora will be able to get the information on the God Summoning Ceremony.

Although Sister Devlin said it very lightly, Shade could also understand the danger of this matter.

After waiting for the nun to finish speaking, Shade first talked about the current situation of the Randall Valley, and even mentioned the unknown demon, while the nun wearing a silver eyepatch just listened quietly.

The two of them were at the lowest level of the sacrificial site. In the empty circular sacrificial site, the stairs spread upward around the central open space. Most of the area of ​​the sacrificial site is in darkness and shadow, with only the burning brazier in the center providing some light. The nun's sword, the angelic relic [Ashes], was inserted diagonally in the center of the brazier, letting the strange flames burn and lick it.

After Shade finished talking about the recent events, Sister Devlin did not discuss who was most likely to be the chosen one of the earth, but said very indifferently:

"If it is one of the three ancient evil spirits and demons you mentioned, it can indeed become a good source of firewood."

Sister Devlin's usual indifferent tone was quite different from that of Helena Oxenfurt. Although the tone is almost inaudible, the former can still feel the thoughts of living people and the emotions occasionally revealed in the nun's heart. It is like a smoldering flame, and the temperature can be felt even if the flames are not visible.

The latter is a complete lack of emotion.

As for the nun who also fell in love with the devil, there is no need to worry about her competing with the doctor. Dr. Schneider devours demons, and what he devours is the demon's power and most important core essence, while Sister Devlin wants the pure body.

Although the essence of the firewood is taken away by doctors, the quality of the firewood will be reduced, but it will not affect the burning. For example, last year's demon Panni with the desire to proliferate. After defeating it, the doctor gave the demon's remains to Shade (Chapter 1047).

"So are you going to Randall Valley soon? There is also a statue of the ancient god of space there. If you go there, you can come back at any time."

The nun nodded:

"According to your plan, first determine the identity of the demon and its hiding place. If you need me, I can appear there at any time. There is also a Snake Heart Hospital in the Randall Valley."

Shade finally mentioned the "sands of time soaked in darkness". This time the nun did not give a direct answer, but thought silently for a while:

"Although the Sands of Time possess indescribable power, they are not the highest power. Soak the Sands of Time in the water outside the tidal flat where 'True Death' is embodied, and the power of death can infect these sands. Let the sands of time affect local time and bring about death that is more difficult to save."

In other words, the ordinary Sands of Time have the effect of increasing the probability of instant death.

"Can enough pure power infect the Sands of Time? Real death is the end of all things and the essence of death. The mystery and personality are indeed stronger than the simple Sands of Time. Therefore, what I am looking for is the most The essential power of night. Isn’t that the old god [Curtain of Eternal Night]?”

The city of eternal night where Fiona is still staying represents the most extreme night. But Shade didn't think that if the Sands of Time were brought to that city and the ordinary Sands of Time could be turned into items required by the mission, then this would be too simple.

"But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Maybe it's really that simple."

While thinking, the nun's cold voice sounded again:

"The pure night is related to the ancient god [Sage of the Silver Moon]. After the ancient god left, the authority of the night belonged to the old god [Curtain of Eternal Night]. This old god has long since disappeared in the sixth era. Gone, but the divine creation [Night] still exists. When the eras overlapped, it transformed into a relic contaminated with whisper elements, and was rated as angel level (level 1). If you want to try, I can go to the Church of Dawn to convert it It will take at least two months to lend it out. This relic is strictly contained. Once it gets out of control, the material world will fall into a long and eternal night."

This time is a little too long:

"Are there any other similar relics or special items?"

"The Sage-level relic [Night Spring] is rumored to be the entrance to the ancient kingdom of the Third Age, the 'Kingdom of Ghosts', but it has long been lost. The Sage-level relic [The Blade of Night] is completely invisible in the dark night The long sword, wielded during the day, can create darkness in a small area. It is rumored that it was once used by the old god in the form of a saint [Curtain of Eternal Night]. The last time this weapon appeared was in 908 of the Sixth Era. There is no trace either.”

The nun only mentioned these two clues, but they seemed to be not as easy to obtain as the angel-level relic [Night] that was contained by the Church of Dawn.

"I'll think of other ways."

It's a pity that the [Impermanent Silver Moon] in his hand is not like the other four Rhodes cards. After he witnessed the ceremony of the chosen one, he gained some strange power. Otherwise, maybe the power of the Impermanent card can directly invade Stained by the sands of time.

"There are also very simple methods, but they may not necessarily work."

The nun suddenly said, and Shade looked at her.

"Although the ancient gods have long gone away, the power of the ancient gods still affects the material world. You can try to visit the 'Night Temple', which is the ancient era. The creatures in the material world worship the relics left by the night. Try to pray to the gods. , maybe it will work.”

This is indeed possible, and the so-called "Dark Night Temple" is not the ruins that Shade discovered in the Randall River Valley. That ruins are the ruins of worshiping the moon, and the "Dark Night Temple" is a prayer to the dark night. The ancient gods have quite complex powers. In addition to the cathedrals dedicated to the gods themselves, there are also sacrificial sites and temples that worship certain powers of the ancient gods alone.

"So do you know where the Temple of the Night is? It's best not to be too far away. I have a lot to do in the Randall Valley area recently."

So Sister Devlin ordered other nuns to go to the library to search for information, and quickly gave the results:

"There are ruins of the Night Temple in the Randall Valley area, but the ruins are in the mountains."

The map was displayed in front of Shade. Judging from the map, even if Shade could find the road, it would take at least five or six hours to reach his destination from the city. Because the ruins of the 'Night Temple' are in the mountainous area east of the Randall Valley, it is an area that only hunters occasionally go deep into.

"It's in the mountains. I got guidance yesterday. If I want to get the truth about the Word of Ascension, I have to go into the mountains. Maybe I understand. Thank you for your help, Sister Devlin."

He took away the map and sincerely thanked Sister Devlin. The nun shook her head and returned to Fort Midhill with Shade.

Because there is something "big" that Stone Oxenfurt said is going to happen tonight, visiting the ruins of the ancient Night Temple will have to be postponed to Friday or even Saturday, and Shade still needs a day. additional guides.

Originally, Shade wanted to talk to Miss Benanis about this matter. If Miss Benanis had time and could fly, it might be faster to ask her to take him there.

But as soon as he arrived at Randall Valley that afternoon, Shade was intercepted by the witch in the Church of the Forgotten:

"Oh, Shade, where were you this morning?"

As he said that, he took Shade's hand and walked out:

"what happened?"

"The church has investigated the area around Lake Eldron you mentioned. Originally, I thought there would be no situation until tonight, but now the results have been obtained. At the bottom of Lake Eldron, a slight ' Crazy Earth' phenomenon. Now the bottom of the lake is spitting out black mud. That black mud flows down the river and will soon pollute the entire watershed."

She spoke quickly:

"The church is preparing for the ceremony urgently, planning to purify the pollution in the evening. But since you said something big will happen, the black mud may be just a precursor. Come with me to prepare, there may be a war tonight. I have already Call that Miss Luvia Annat to the Wilde Opera House, and we may use the power of the earth, the summoning stone statue, the fertility field, and the healing aura tonight."

The characteristics of the "Crazy Land" that appeared this time are different from the previous ones. The characteristics this time are relatively simple, that is, "polluted water sources." It's not that the black mud produces toxins or adds a curse, but it directly changes the concept of "clean lake water" to "unclean lake water". After drinking it, there are all possibilities.

Or to put it more simply, this time it is spreading an epidemic that cannot be cracked by ordinary people.

You must know that the Elron River, where Lake Eldron is located, is one of the two largest rivers in the Randall Valley area. It is also the most important source of water for Randall Valley City and surrounding villages and towns. Even other cities downstream rely on it. Get water from this river.

If it had not been discovered in time and the pollution had just appeared, the pollution itself would have been a big problem. The reappearance of the "Crazy Land" this time also convinced the church that there was probably some kind of trouble in the Randall Valley itself that mortals could not detect.

Even though the Church of the Sun has understood the "Crazy Land" since the last era and mastered the method of eradicating it, in an era when the murmuring poems of the Witch Emperors are constantly being performed and their accuracy is verified step by step, no one can Don't dare to let down your guard.
