Whispering Verse

Although Miss Bayas is young, her intuition is not particularly sensitive. This is probably some kind of talent.

Before leaving No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, Miss Bayas thought that she would be rewarded for enjoying the cool weather in Shade today. Shade thought she was joking, but he didn't expect that she was serious:

"this is for you."

The sorceress with long brown hair took a small pure gold sun pattern brooch from her brown checkered lady's handbag. On the brooch was the holy emblem of the righteous god [Old Man with the Lamp].

Shade originally thought it was something like decoration, but after contacting it, he immediately got a reminder:

[You have come into contact with a ‘miracle’. 】

"oh?"

"Detective, you actually realize that this is not an ordinary object? It's amazing..."

Because work was over, Miss Bayas sat on the sofa and talked to Shade. She introduced with a somewhat proud tone:

"This is an alchemy item I made myself. I am holding a holy emblem to praise my Lord [Old Man with the Lamp]. It does not need to consume souls. I can use the [Sunshine Gun] I used last time. It is absolutely perfect for dealing with any magician below the fourth level. No problem, this is for your self-defense."

Miss Bayas was very humble, trying hard to suppress the smugness in her voice and the smile on her face.

"Disposable sunshine gun? Give it to me?"

Shade looked at the girl sitting opposite and was surprised. Then he looked up and down with the brooch. Without thinking, he knew that this was the most powerful alchemy item he had ever seen in this world.

This kind of alchemical item, judging from the common sense we have learned, is definitely not something that ordinary ring magicians can make. This is probably also the power of the "balanced" chosen one. If Shade had such skills, he would no longer have to work hard on detective commissions.

Miss Bayas smiled and said:

"Of course it's for you, but don't use it casually. If the church discovers that someone other than a believer is using the [Sunshine Gun], you may be in big trouble."

Although [Silver Moon Slash] is powerful, it is limited by the fact that Shade only has one link, and its power is still not as powerful as [Sunshine Spear]. Therefore, if this is really given to Shade, it will not burn the divinity and the enemy will not move [Kindness] Spear], this will be his most powerful move at the moment.

"Really for me?"

He asked Miss Bayas again. Although he wanted this thing very much, he did not think that what he had done was worthy of Miss Bayas' return with such an item.

"Of course it's for you, detective. You're too weak."

She shook her head slightly:

"Tobesk Parish is so dangerous. Even if you have help from your friends, I'm still worried about you. Detective, I really consider you my friend."

Shade's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

"You are very talented and have a good personality. You even passed my four-question test. Last night, you did not greedily take away relics that did not belong to you. This shows that you are very good... said Get up, I have a lot of secrets."

The young girl leaned back on the sofa, raised her head slightly and looked at the ceiling:

"They said I was the chosen one by some destiny, but they refused to explain in detail what they meant. But I understand that I will definitely have to experience many, many things in the future, so I need friends and you. Such help from someone you can trust. Detective, just take this and treat it as an advance from me for your future help."

She pushed the brooch that Shade had placed on the coffee table in Shade's direction:

"It's expensive and troublesome to make, but I think you need it."

Shade sat there, watching the seventeen-year-old girl opposite smiling at him.

While I was happy inside, I was also more terrified. All he wanted now was to find Miss Anat immediately and ask her to disclose their identities to Miss Bayas. Otherwise, once Miss Bayas knew that Shade had "ulterior motives" during this period, it would be hard for him to imagine how he would be treated...

"But you won't get hit by a sunshine gun."

He whispered in his mind, and then heard her chuckle in his ear.

After Miss Bayas left, nothing else happened that day. Shade was thinking that the black-haired maid could knock on the door downstairs, bring the white stone crystal and the relic, and tell him what he needed to do, but no one came to the door until he went to bed at night.

On the early morning of Wednesday, when Shade went downstairs to get newspapers and goat's milk, he received a letter from Priest August. The letter mentioned that the priest had prepared the potion he needed "The Price of Growth" and the preparation materials for the potion, and asked Shade to go to Dawn Church to find him before ten o'clock that morning.

"Before ten o'clock... I have to investigate the lawyer today, so I should go see the priest early."

The Church of the Dawn is also near the city center, not far from Saint Teresa Square. When Shade arrived near Dawn Square at 7:30 in the morning, there were already many people coming in and out of the church door.

It is now the tenth day of the Thunder Moon, and it is getting closer and closer to the Holy Prayer Festival of the Dawn Church. In the square, festive decorations have begun to be put up, and people cleaning the walls and cleaning the windows on ladders have also appeared outside the church.

[The God of Light and Shadow], that is, the faith of the righteous god [Mr. Dawn], has a great advantage in the Five Gods Church. According to the information that Shade learned from the old priest, among the total population of Tobesk Diocese , nearly 1.50% believe in this righteous god.

This is not a small number. After all, not everyone believes in the righteous gods. Except for the cultists, the disappeared old gods still have their own devout followers in this era.

There was some fog again this morning, but the fog was not particularly thick.

The priest wrote a letter asking Shade to go directly to the church to find him, but Shade had just arrived at the door of the church, and before he even stepped onto the majestic stone steps, he saw Priest August, wearing a priest's white robe, standing at the door of the church. I was talking to an old man with gray hair who looked older than Priest Augustus.

The slightly unfamiliar old man wore a robe that was slightly different from that of Priest Augustus. There was a brass Holy Emblem hanging on his chest. The pattern of the Holy Emblem was a notched ring. He is slightly fatter than Priest Augustus and about the same height as Shade.

This is probably an important figure in Dawn Church, because every believer will nod respectfully when passing by him.

"This shouldn't be a priest. What level of clergy could it be?"

Shade thought as he walked over. He originally didn't want to disturb the conversation between the two, but he didn't expect that Priest August took the initiative to call him over and introduced him to:

"Detective, this is Bishop Kanas Owen of the Dawn Church in Tobesk Parish Church. Kanas, this is the very good young man I mentioned to you."

Priest August directly addressed the old man by his first name, which meant that the relationship between the two was quite good.

Shade didn't expect that he would meet such an important person so easily at the door of the church this early morning, so he greeted him politely and said good morning.

The Orthodox Church stipulates that bishops can only be held by ordinary people, so Bishop Owen is not a magician, and Shade doesn't have to worry too much when dealing with him.
