Whispering Verse

"Okay, I will play games with demons. However, I also want to ask about another thing. Is my blood any different from that of normal people?"

He looked at the angel inquiringly, and the angel said seriously:

"A wise man does not give knowledge directly, a wise man only gives guidance."

"so."

"You can't find the answer here."

With the answer he got from the Lady of the Lake, on Saturday morning, that is, in March 1854, that is, the first day of the Windy Moon, Shade informed Luvia and Ilu about the "Flower of the Four Seasons" Na.

The three of them gathered in the room Luvia rented on the third floor of the Fertile Land Hotel. The girl with purple eyes was sitting on the long sofa, Iluna was sitting on the short sofa, and Shade was looking at the foggy city by the window.

At about two o'clock this morning, another small earthquake occurred in the Randall Valley with the epicenter in the city center. This made the already restless city even more turbulent.

"Flowers of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, are also in line with the powers of 'earth' and 'four seasons' possessed by the Mother Earth. Now I have got spring flowers and summer flowers, and the remaining two flowers have also fallen. "

"Are you really going to summon that [Desire] for the sake of autumn flowers?"

Iluna asked in disbelief. She was in the sewer yesterday, but she also heard what the flower girl said.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, when I was with Sister Devlin last time and saw her in the Pantanal Lake, she told her how to summon her: liquefy the crystal of desire and put it into a small perfume bottle, and then Throw it into a body of water.”

There is also Shad, the Crystal of Desire, which was a trophy obtained after defeating the "Demon of Proliferation of Desire - Fannie" in Tobesk.

"Like Iluna, I don't really agree with you doing this."

Luvia held on to the armrest of the sofa with one hand:

"It's not the last moment yet, so don't summon that thing. However, you can take the perfume bottle and the crystal you prepared with you and do so again if necessary."

Shade thought for a while:

"That's fine."

"Tonight, I will cooperate with the witch Sylvia to open the portal and let Carina and her followers come to the local area. The church's actions are also scheduled for next week. As for next week's events, Luvia, you Is there anything you want to say?”

Iluna asked Luvia again, and Luvia thought for a while:

"In a week at most, the first Randall flower will bloom. This time the opponents are two, the cultists and the devil. The devils will be dealt with by Shade, and the cultists will have to rely on the church. But fortunately, this time we It’s not the chosen ones that we have to deal with, which makes things a little easier.”

"After experiencing balance, darkness, death, and knowledge, I found that apart from Iluna, the 'Guardian' is the most normal chosen one we have encountered."

Shade said, Iluna and Luvia both laughed, and the latter asked again:

"But you also said, is it really normal for a guardian to voluntarily give up his or her individual independence and constantly integrate new souls. Although this way of existence is indeed novel, it is definitely not normal."

"As long as he is on our side, now we are afraid that the guardian will go crazy after being contaminated by the earth."

Iluna then said:

"I walked around the city with Shade yesterday, and I basically understood the terrible local situation. All I need to do now is wait and hope nothing happens again in the next few days."

"It is impossible for the cultists lurking in the dark to do nothing. Besides, the church did not catch the Bloodweeper Hermons who showed up again. Now that he has appeared, there is no reason to just act as a tool for the cultists."

Luvia sighed slightly, while Shade looked out the window, watching the team of ring warlocks from the Dawn Church hurrying past on the street.

Saturday afternoon was the usual team meeting, so Shade returned to Tobesk and after the team meeting, informed the doctor that he would probably need to be ready to go next week.

When the group meeting was over, Shade and Dorothy left together. However, after dinner, he did not start tonight's course immediately. Instead, he asked Dorothy to wait at home, and he went to Fort Midhill alone.

After entering the city from the abandoned tower in the mountains and arriving at the Cassandra Auction House, Shade borrowed the Keeper-level relic [Magician's Escape Box] and planned to take it back to the doctor's clinic for the doctor to use at any time.

The timing of his arrival was coincidental, as Granny Cassandra had already received a notice from the parliament. After Miss Sylvia opened the first portal, she still had the energy to open the second one immediately. Therefore, Miss Rita Swift, who had long flaxen hair, was nervously talking to the two accompanying people. Gao Huan and the five ladies from Zhonghuan were waiting to set off in the basement of the auction house.

Now that Shade had encountered this incident, he waited in the basement with Miss Swift. Mother-in-law Cassandra was still explaining matters related to her apprentice and the Randall Valley, while Helen and Grace stopped Shade and handed him the silver flute:

"Sir, we succeeded!"

"What worked?"

Shade recognized the flute as the "Butterfly Calling Flute" he got from St. Perry Cemetery. Because it could suppress the revitalization of Helen and Grace's relic power, he left it at Fort Midhill.

The last time I saw this flute, there were only flying butterflies engraved on the metal surface. You can only feel the delicate texture by rubbing it with your fingers. At this time, there were two very clear red butterfly patterns at the end of the flute. Shade touched it with his hand and understood that this was the power of Helen and Grace.

"Sir, this flute allows you to play it and call the butterflies. Now, it can be used to call us."

Grace in the white dress said excitedly:

"We know that you have never wanted us to be involved in your adventures, but we are still worried after learning from Xina what you have been busy with recently. At least this time, at least this time in Randall Valley, please When the time is right, use this flute to call us. After playing, we can exist for ten minutes, and after ten minutes we will automatically return to where we were."

"Yes, my sister and I will not cause you any trouble."

Helen also immediately said that the Hongdie girls still looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old. They both raised their heads and looked at Shade pitifully. Shade had thought before that he could never involve them, who had experienced so much suffering, into trouble again, but at this moment he was looked at by two pairs of eyes, and after hesitation he still took the flute:

"I will call you if necessary."

In fact, I was thinking, try to avoid doing this.

Although Miss Rita Swift has gone out alone to help the old witch deal with things before, this is the first time she has participated in a big action of the Witch Council on behalf of her teacher.

Although the old witch told her kindly that as long as she paid attention to her own safety, Miss Swift, who had never been very confident, still seemed very nervous.

The promised Saturday night at 7:30 arrived soon. As the gravel on the basement floor shook slightly, there was a clear sound of glass shattering, and in front of the wall at the end of the basement, a spiral of gold and black colors appeared. A vortex appears.

The sizzling sound appeared together with the vortex, and the wind blowing from the vortex contained a power that made Shade feel quite dangerous.

He once passed through the passage opened by Miss Sylvia with the help of the power of the Parliament, and directly entered the central area of ​​the Pantanal from Huntington. But last time, there was no such big movement as this time.

"It seems that Miss Sylvia really benefited a lot from [weaving] spiritual runes."

"Then teacher, let's go."

The flaxen-haired girl said to the old witch, and Granny Cassandra hugged her tenderly:

"It doesn't matter if you fail to complete the mission. Remember to pay attention to safety. The Randall Valley is a little colder than here, so you should also pay attention to your clothes."

Then Miss Swift showed an expression that she wanted to cry, and from the swirling black and golden vortex, Miss Sylvia's voice came out:

"Come here quickly, I can't hold it anymore!"

So the witch's followers took the lead and walked over. Miss Swift, who was carrying a backpack, reluctantly said goodbye to the old witch and walked towards the portal.

"Then I'll pass from here too."

Shade tied the [Magician's Escape Box] behind his back with a sin chain, said goodbye to the old witch and the red butterfly girls, and then followed Miss Swift into the vortex.

Using this method to transfer space, except for some dizziness at the moment of stepping across the vortex, everything was fine. The vortex closed behind Shade, and Shade could clearly see that this was the basement of Miss Bernice's manor. The wine cabinet is placed against the wall, and the sundries are piled in another corner:

"Good evening."

He smiled and greeted Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia. The former seemed to be here to watch the fun, while the latter was trying to smooth out the last ripples in space.

As for Miss Swift and the other five girls, they were all holding their chests and retching.

"Space vertigo is one of the few side effects of traveling this way."

Miss Sylvia explained with a smile, the dim gray light in her hand moving back and forth in front of her.

Shade looked around:

"Isn't Iluna here?"

"Miss Bayas just met Carina and went to the church to deal with it, delaying the departure of the team patrolling the area tonight."

Miss Aurora said, Shade nodded, but did not put down the cabinet behind him:

"I'll help Miss Swift to rest first. No, you don't have to refuse. I promised Granny Cassandra to take good care of you in the Randall Valley. I'll go see Miss Carina again in a while. Wait until tomorrow to deal with it. Sister Devlin, who has completed the affairs of the 'Spiritual Order', has also arrived, and we are all here."

"Yeah, now just wait for Randall to spend it."
