Whispering Verse

"Even if the distortion has disappeared, the scars still exist. The lost part cannot be made up, and the clean earth will one day be distorted again. Since that banquet, the earth has officially entered a period of turmoil. The occurrence of earthquakes in the future will be greater than It has been more frequent in the past. Moreover, there is a probability of 'Crazy Land' and resurrected fossil creatures appearing in various parts of the world, but the intensity is not as strong as in Randall Valley, and they can be eliminated by ordinary means."

This is considered a "sequelae", but it also means that the distortion of the earth has only been cured once, and there is still the possibility of "recurrence". This is not because Shade failed to handle the matter well. The distortion of the earth is related to the changes in the world itself. Unless he can directly change the world and put an end to the "final doomsday" that is yet to come, no matter how hard he plans, it will be useless.

The lava gurgled in his ears. The inhuman guardian might be used to this environment, but Shade was already a little hot. The firelight illuminated his slightly frowning face:

"Since Crazy Earth and fossil creatures may appear in other areas, such creatures should appear more frequently in the Randall Valley area, right?"

Shade asked, and the guardian nodded:

"The local church can deal with these issues, and I will help, but ultimately it is not the same as it used to be."

Shade was not surprised at all by this, after all, it was like this every time.

Coldwater Port is still being invaded by murlocs, and evil spirits are wandering in the Sikal Mountains. The residual power of the Pantanal evil has caused strange plant-like monsters to appear in the swamp from time to time. Now there are fossil creatures in the Randall Valley area. Compared with the fallen giant spirit, it is nothing compared to this. It can even give Shade more opportunities to practice his spellcasting ability and sword skills.

Moreover, an increase in monsters means an increase in the production of special materials and the appearance of rare herbs. Things always have two sides.

"This result is better than the overall pollution of the earth. This is the best result we can get."

Shade was quite satisfied with this, and he stretched out his hand to the guardian:

"While this topic has been formally raised before, are you willing to form an alliance with us?"

"Who are the allies?"

the guardian asked.

"I, Miss Luvia Anat, the Chosen One of Balance - Miss Iluna Bayas and the Chosen One of Death - Sister Devlin. By the way, the Chosen One of Darkness and Knowledge and Wisdom The chosen ones were all solved by me."

He felt that there was no need to tell the soul in front of him what was sealed in [Aiken'ola - Arrow of the Chosen].

Iluna and the nun, who were silent on the side, nodded slightly towards the chosen one of the earth, which also showed that Shade could speak on their behalf.

"What exactly does it take to become your ally?"

Soul asked calmly.

"There may be times when I need your help, but the most important thing is that when the thirteen-page story of the Chosen One comes to the end and the legendary 'door' appears, I hope that no matter what happens after you open the door, you can Follow my or Luvia's arrangements. Of course, we promise not to harm the earth, you know me."

As Shade spoke, the life rings behind Iluna and Sister Devlin appeared at the same time, and then the two life rings turned into dark golden scales and sickles respectively.

The thirteen rings of the guardian also appeared behind him, and then in the light, the life ring turned into a dark golden Holy Grail. The shape of the Holy Grail is exactly the same as the former clay Holy Grail.

He didn't hesitate:

"All my knowledge about the Whispering Psalms comes from you and the church. But the spirit of the earth gave me enlightenment and help you. There is absolutely nothing wrong."

He stretched out his hand and shook Shade:

"I guess that's okay. I'll be happy to help you, just like you helped me."

Although the guardian is a spirit, Shade can feel touch. After shaking hands, although there was no clear contract, Xia De knew that the cooperative relationship between the two parties had been established, so he smiled. They are both people who value commitment:

"I heard from Iluna that you can't leave the Randall Valley area?"

"Yes, although it is not completely impossible to leave, I must guard here unless necessary, and I cannot even let the main body appear on the ground easily."

The guardian did not hide this. The damage to the Heart of the Earth was more serious than Shade thought:

"Although it seems that everything is over, in fact everything has just begun. Although the prelude to the end has been avoided, there will be a series of other things that will follow. I am both the guardian of the earth and the chosen one of the earth. When I need to take action, I will definitely be there.”

"I understand, then come with us to meet Miss Luvia Anat. In fact, among us, she has always been the core figure. Although it is inappropriate to say this, I am more like carrying out a mission People. Luvia can talk to you in detail about our cooperation."

Shade made the invitation, and the guardian calmly asked his question:

"I learned about your power on the night of the banquet, so please allow me to ask you a question: Why did you obey her arrangements?"

"This is probably like a regular game. There must be a host, right?"

Shade didn't know what the other person's hundreds of thoughts were thinking about at this moment, but the guardian did not continue to dwell on this topic:

"Also, I talked with Miss Bayas and I heard that you care about the spaces left by the ancient gods?"

"Yes."

Shade raised his eyebrows, so the guardian handed him a square stone with a polished surface. Except that there are no points engraved on it, this is almost a pitch-black dice.

"I used the power of the chosen one to create a door. Throwing this stone at a location that satisfies the 'Earth Furnace' door will permanently solidify the door."

"This is really great, even the ceremony is saved."

The so-called "satisfying conditions" means that the location of the solidification door is below the horizon, has sufficient geothermal heat, is a gathering point for spirits in the earth, and the location where the door is set has never been contaminated by any force.

The above are the basic conditions. In addition, it is also necessary to meet the requirements of mysticism in terms of orientation, space and other conditions. And even if these conditions are met, there is a certain possibility that the door cannot be placed. This is a matter of luck.

Shade didn't know whether his basement met the conditions, but he planned to wait for Iluna to return to Tobesk and everyone would give it a try. After all, throwing stones was not a very laborious task.

So, under the guardian's arrangement, the three of them touched the stone pillar located in the center of the Heart of the Earth.

As a white light flashed before his eyes, the dark red magma light in his field of vision disappeared. By the time they could see the surrounding scene clearly, they had arrived in the snow-covered courtyard of Benanis Manor. And this kind of movement using the power of the earth is also a convenience brought by the dual identities of "Guardian" and "Chosen One".

Because Shade had said in advance that it was possible to invite the Guardian to the manor as a guest, the girls in the manor were not surprised by the Guardian's appearance.

The spirit body does not need to eat, so there is no need to invite the guardian to stay for dinner in the evening. Shade took the three chosen ones to find Luvia in the study on the third floor, and then asked them to talk to Luvia. Luvia knows far more about the Whispering Psalm than Shade, and she will handle the relationship with the chosen one well.

As for Shade, he went to inform Tifa, who was staying at the manor, about the Guardian. Although Shade didn't say it explicitly, the witches would definitely not give up this opportunity to contact the "Chosen Ones of the Earth". In this way, the gains gained from the council's actions would not only greatly affect the Five Gods Church's view of them. Changed.

Even in the eyes of the witches, a soul aggregate composed of hundreds of noble souls is still regarded as male and will trigger the witch's curse. Therefore, the relationship between the Council and the Guardian cannot be the same as that of Sister Devlin. But at least a little contact can establish a more basic friendship.

Shade did not participate in the conversation between the chosen ones and Luvia, not because he wanted to hide and relax, but because there was another "date" waiting for him tonight.

Miss Denister must have been very busy these two days, but even so, she will definitely not forget to meet Shade.

Although Shade acted very relaxedly in front of the witches at noon and looked like he could explain it, in fact, when it was time to set off, he was still a little uneasy. So I brought Mia with me, hoping that this cat could ease some of the atmosphere.

The meeting place was the local manor where the professors from St. Byrons Comprehensive College lived. Since the distance was not too close, Shade took a carriage to go there. Just when he left Benanis Manor, Tifa caught up from behind and handed Shade a red slender gift box with exquisite packaging and a bow:

"You go to visit your teacher and you don't even bring a gift?"

The black-haired maid asked with a smile in the snow, and when Shade wanted to say thank you, she added:

"The lady asked me to prepare this in advance. She guessed that you wouldn't think of this. Also, the lady doesn't need your thanks."

While there was a bewildered expression on Shade's face, she urged Shade not to be late, then sent Shade to the gate of the manor and watched Shade ride away in a carriage.

Shade deliberately avoided dinner time and arrived at the professors' residence after dinner.

When he met Miss Danister with the gift, the red-haired sorceress was talking to the elf girl in the study. The fireplace in the study room was dancing with pleasant flames. The pure white beast was lying peacefully on the carpet in front of the fireplace. The firelight illuminated the white hair. The posture was exactly the same as that of little Mia in winter.

But the unicorn's comfortable mood was soon interrupted by the sound of a cat meowing.
