Whispering Verse

This night happened without incident and everything was safe. After being woken up by Mia at 6:30 on Thursday morning, the blonde girl in a nightgown was still lying next to Shade, with golden hair covering her small ears and delicate profile. , the eyelashes trembled slightly when she opened her eyes, Dorothy Louisa also liked this kind of morning.

Miss Sylvia, who arranged the ceremony for Dorothy's room, opened the portal early and came to the Green Lake Hotel from the basement. When Shade had breakfast with Dorothy and Miss Sylvia, he also heard that Sister Devlin had arrived locally:

"The nuns have brought more than ten blind nuns from the [Spiritual Order], and they have already met with the church. The church plans to rely on the power of these blind nuns if the divination by the Prophet Association does not go smoothly. Inspired to find a way to enter another island, this can also be regarded as the second plan.”

Mother-in-law Cassandra and her group will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As for Miss Aurora, who came in a low-key private capacity, she might not be able to arrive in the City of Glass until the weekend.

However, Shade doesn't need to go to Sister Devlin specifically. The nun will probably come to him. The most important thing for Shade today is to meet those believers of the old gods.

The time agreed with Miss Danister was nine in the morning, so Shade was not in a hurry to go out. After breakfast, he went to see Dr. Schneider and Father August respectively.

The doctor has been busy making the alchemy item for Shade these days, so he spends most of his time either in his own room or in the borrowed basement busy with alchemy experiments. When Shade entered the doctor's room this morning, the unfinished coins were being calcined in the small stove on the coffee table in the living room. The blue giant in the bottle was floating in the air, with his hands clasped in front of his chest to monitor the calcining temperature.

The flames in the small portable stove, which looked like an ordinary gas stove, were related to the power of the Balrog, but even so, the coins only changed color rather than melted.

“The production went smoothly.”

The doctor invited Shade to sit down:

"Now there is only one last question left: What do you want the size and the front and back of this coin to be? Should it be made according to ready-made currency, or can you give me other plans?"

Because it involves betting on heads and tails, this question is indeed important:

"There is no size requirement, whatever is convenient for you. As for the pattern, there are moon symbols on one side and sun symbols on the other. If you feel that there are only symbols, it will look too simple. Doctor, just pick some runes related to the sun and moon for decoration. Go up."

"This is simple. Since there are no special requirements for the pattern, the coin can probably be completed tonight. Remember to pick it up."

This was fast. Shade met with the Old God believers in the morning and got the coins in the evening. He didn't even have to wait until Friday to use the key immediately.

【Are you really that anxious? 】

Dr. Schneider will probably be busy all day today, but that's a good thing, it's still raining outside so it's not a good time to go out. And depending on the doctor's luck, it's hard to say what will happen to him after he goes out, but during the time he stayed in the hotel and didn't go out, nothing happened in the hotel except Dorothy's accident.

Priest Augustus insisted on going out these days, but today Shade found the old priest before he went out. The priest seems to be in a good mood. Occasionally leaving Tobesk for a visit can really change people's mentality.

"I went to see Mr. Nicholas Green, and he really liked roast chicken."

In the room on the third floor where the priest lived, he said with a smile:

"Although the old Mr. Green doesn't know much, it is very valuable. Among the materials and books left to him by the fortune teller you mentioned, there is some information related to the ancient god - the ancient god of death. I can guess Come on, where did he get the remains?"

This also shows that at least the angel skeleton was not originally found on the island.

"Can you get the bones? If not, you can land on the island with the church and us when they rush to the island. You can always see the bones."

But the priest was wiping his pipe and shaking his head:

"It's not that troublesome, and getting the bones back in advance will also make your final actions easier. I need something closely related to the bones, and use them to resonate with the location of the bones. Plus other remains I own , enough for it to take the initiative to appear in front of me."

In other words, you don’t have to go to the island to get the bones.

Shade thought for a while:

"You mean the lichs that the three Edwards brothers turned into?"

"Yes, the special ghoul transformed by Nicholas Green has the power of the skeleton, but not much."

The priest nodded:

"Didn't you say that those three brothers are now looking for descendants of Green Lake Town?"

"Yes, the church has fought against them during this time. Those three ghoul lichs, when I first saw them, could only join forces to activate the Mystery Lock, but now they are becoming more and more powerful. You know the sun Miss Iluna Bayas from the church is my friend. She told me not long ago that the three things now combined are difficult for ordinary eleven-ring warlocks to deal with. What's more, they are very good at escaping and will not die. Destroy."

Shade explained that in addition to the church, the witch's followers also encountered the three ghoul lichs recently when performing the witch's task list. They spoke highly of these three undead. If Shade encountered them again, it might be Shade's turn to think about how to escape.

"The most troublesome problem is actually that most of the powers that have special damage effects on the undead are ineffective against those three brothers. Priest, when I encountered them, even the power you gave me that was integrated with the badge couldn't hurt them. ."

"That's why I'm here."

Priest August pointed to himself:

"Now that I'm here, I don't need to trouble you about this matter. There is no need to set any traps to lure the three brothers. I will find a way to sense their locations myself. However, I need a card that can go back and forth between Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City. Pass, and then you just wait for the good news.”

"No problem. You can take my pass first. It can be used at the crossroads barracks. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask Captain Rades. He is my friend."

Shade handed the pass to the priest. He could write to Captain Rades later and ask for another one. Although a big shot like Miss Carina could directly issue him an indefinite transit document, on the one hand, such a move would be too big, and on the other hand, Captain Rades is in charge, and sometimes the current control can be worse than the Duke's order. Be useful.

The matter of the angel's remains is left to the priests, and the search for Maria Edwards's soul is left to the Witches' Council, so Shade can deal with other matters with peace of mind.

After bidding farewell to the priest, he set off to see Miss Danister. Shade arrived ten minutes early. Unexpectedly, the believers of the old gods were actually sent by the people of the Prophet's Association half an hour early.

Miss Denist took no part in the conversation and left Shade to meet them on his own. Similarly, Shade will not ask the academy what it thinks about the [Destiny Base]. This is a tacit understanding among everyone.

Entering the study, sitting and waiting on the sofa were two men who looked like Kasenrik. The slightly older one looked at least ten years older than Dr. Schneider, only slightly younger because his hair didn't have gray hair. The younger ones wear glasses and look about thirty years old.

What they have in common is that they all wear gold rings on their fingers. This is not a relic like the "Witch's Golden Ring", but an ordinary piece of jewelry, which is said to be a necessary medium for performing divine magic.

"I won't introduce myself. I came to you through St. Byrons this time to ask about something about your order."

After he sat down, he started the topic directly, so the two men opposite him sat upright.

Before coming, the ring magicians of the Prophet's Association told them that someone found St. Byrons and asked St. Byrons to ask them to talk to strangers about some doctrinal issues. Therefore, they knew that the person in front of them was definitely extraordinary.

"I heard that you have lost most of the information of the Fifth Era, and even most of the religious scriptures. But I think you must still retain some oral stories. I have no intention of exploring your core secrets, but .”

"Please don't say that. St. Byrons has paid for it, so we can answer whatever you ask."

The older man reminded Shade. Suddenly, Shade quickly changed his mind and reorganized his words in the same way as he communicated with the old John who opened the pawn shop in Tobesk:

"I understand. Then I will ask directly: In the Fifth Era, the Golden Order was one of the most influential religious organizations. At the same time, the great man of your faith was also the one with the most recorded divine descendants. . So in the Fifth Era, is there a general way to meet the gods you believe in? I am investigating the history of the Fifth Era, and there are still many doubts about the old gods setting foot in the material world."

He even provided an explanation for his question, and the two people opposite him gave the answer without much thought:

“First of all, we need to make it clear that although our Lord is the god who has set foot in the material world the most in the records of the Fifth Era, there must be a reason for the appearance of gods, and they will definitely not appear as long as a mortal calls.

As for the general method of calling our Lord, the mortal must have something valuable to trade with, or the transaction to be performed must be valuable in itself. My Lord loves interesting deals and treasures that are priceless. The treasures here definitely do not refer to powerful weapons, strange relics, or huge amounts of gold and silver treasures. God does not care about these mundane things.

My Lord cares about other things - the great music composed in a flash of inspiration, the true love that touches everyone, the fearless heroic soul who is willing to sacrifice. These are priceless treasures. "
