Whispering Verse

Luvia and Iluna obtained invitations to attend this banquet through the Prophet Association and the Sun Church respectively. Now that the Battle of Green Lake is about to begin, the Ring Warlocks group doesn't mind their members relaxing for the last time.

When the familiar maids smiled and opened the door downstairs for Shade, when Shade saw the two people standing at the door of the house looking at the starry sky, they both turned and smiled at Shade.

Luvia was wearing a long lavender dress, and her short brown shawl hair, which seemed to have grown longer recently, was bound by the precious unicorn tail feather. She wears silver earrings on her ears, and wears a silver Ouroboros pendant on her chest that symbolizes the identity of the Prophet Association.

Iluna wore an off-white long skirt with an extremely complicated three-layer hem, and her waist was decorated with emeralds and rubies. She did not wear the symbol of the Church of the Sun, and the style of her dress was relatively simple.

"It's beautiful. This dress suits you very well, Iluna."

Shade praised softly, and the seventeen-year-old girl also showed a faint smile.

The three of them left the door of the mansion together and walked towards the back garden of Rose Manor. Since this place is called "Rose Manor", it is naturally because there are many roses cultivated in the garden, and today's season is when these flowers bloom.

In the garden, only the in-ground gas lamps arranged around the walkway were on. The three of them stepped in and listened to the noise on the second floor of the mansion in the distance, and they all felt a little peaceful.

Tifa has arranged for the maid to guard outside the garden so that no one will come here to disturb the conversation between the three of them. The three of them walked together for a while, and then Luvia said:

"Today's ceremony can be considered a success. Two angel-level relics - [Mirror of the TARDIS] and [Unnamed Turtle Shell], plus the assistance of sixty-three soothsayers, finally yielded some results. From another There are no conditions for the island to enter the normal world, but entering another island from the outside without permission can only be forcibly broken through on a specific date."

"The nearest date won't be next Wednesday, right?"

Shade asked.

Luvia, who had already learned the invitation letter from Iluna, nodded, stopped and looked at Shade, who was wearing a formal suit under the moonlight, and stretched out her hand to straighten his collar:

"Yes, next Wednesday night, the night of the Edwards family banquet. Because it has to match the astrology, the attack time will be a little later. Even if the church and the association can land on the island, the time will be after the Edwards family banquet starts, or even close to midnight."

Shade nodded silently:

"To land on the island, you need to hold a ceremony in conjunction with the astrology and forcefully break through a gap. This is the plan for a large force to attack. There should be a way to let a small number of people enter the island, right?"

Iluna smiled:

"We knew you must have guessed it. Yes, but someone needs to cooperate on the island. The Fulan brothers will bring a special relic to the island. By then, through the resonance of the relic, they should be able to force some people to the island. But This method is not reliable, and it is impossible for the fortune tellers on the island to think of it."

"Is there a third way?"

"some."

Luvia still answered:

"Use special vehicles that can penetrate space."

The believers of the old god - [Year Transformation Gate] mentioned that even if they found the entrance to another island, they would still need a special vehicle to enter. This method must be recorded in their information.

"Can you be more specific? I remember that there is a similar vehicle in St. Byrons. I once took a sage-level relic [Midnight Nightmare Carriage] from Saint Teresa Square directly to the academy in the far north. It refers to this type of vehicle. ?"

Luvia shook her head slightly, and the three of them continued to walk forward. In front of them was a large blue rose bush, and some unknown flying insects were hovering above the floor lamp on one side:

"Because of the special nature of that island, coupled with the defensive measures deployed by Laplace Klein Howard, only special ship-type vehicles can be used. Moreover, even relics may not be feasible. They must have Extremely strong space penetration properties.”

"Currently, the Five Gods Church and the three major colleges are preparing to collect all the relics that can be used in the current environment and try to see which one will work before Wednesday."

Iluna added, and Shade frowned slightly:

"I have an idea, but I'll talk about it later. Is it okay as long as there is a boat?"

"It must also be Wednesday, but relying on the ship can be earlier, almost half an hour after the Edwards landed on the island, and they can try to set off. Using this method, a fortune-teller needs to guide the way on the water, with a specific direction and trajectory, in order to Try to break down the barriers of space.”

Iluna then concluded:

“In other words, after Edwards lands on the island, a total of three groups of people can land on the island.

The first batch, relying on the small actions of the Fulan brothers on the island, the Green siblings, the pair of witches, and even the Mirror Association should also be able to do the same. But this method is very difficult, so only the thirteen-ring warlocks can try it first. If successful, the first group of people can even go with the Edwards to meet the soothsayer.

The second batch relies on special ship-shaped relics to penetrate the space barrier between the two islands. Because the carrying capacity of the relics is limited and it is most likely only one-way, although this method is relatively reliable, it can only guarantee a small number of people. Landing on the island. If successful, the second group would be half an hour to an hour behind the Edwards.

In the third batch, the church relied on brute force to open the space gap. Green Lake gathered the top magicians and diviners in the material world. There was no reason to be stumped by this kind of thing. By this method, a large force can land on the island, or high-level warlocks can land on the island, but they will be three hours or even longer behind Edwards and others. "

"Shad, I don't know yet whether you can forcefully follow Witch Edwards to the island. What are you going to do?"

Luvia asked, Shade stopped again and slashed in front of him. Behind the gradually opening crack, the dark moon illuminated the deserted pale tidal flat, and also illuminated the wooden boat parked at the junction of the tidal flat and the black water:

"Guess whether this ship can penetrate space barriers?"

Both Iluna and Luvia knew that the ships summoned by Shad's strange thaumaturgy were related to this. After thinking about it, they felt that it should be possible:

"But if you go the second way, you'll be at least half an hour behind them."

Luvia reminded, Shade nodded again:

"I have three ideas at the moment. The first idea is to find Nadia Fulan of the [Dragon Eater Order] and obtain relevant information from her; the second method is that the invitation mentioned that the boatman will be waiting by the lake. Then try to deceive the boatman, I will use thaumaturgy [calm gesture] to turn into a stone statue, and follow Megan and the others to the island."

"But isn't the stone statue you transformed into a little too big? If it doesn't move, it may still be deceiving, but if the witch is moving the stone statue, she can't hide it no matter how hard she tries."

Iluna said, and Shade sighed:

"So I turned into a cat first, and then into a stone statue, so that I would be smaller. I didn't really want to do it, but it had to be."

Luvia and Iluna both thought for a moment, and then smiled together:

"Why don't you try it now and we can help you check the effect."

Although I knew they had "bad intentions", I really couldn't try again when the time came. Shade nodded helplessly, took off the relics he was carrying, and looked at the two girls with expectant expressions:

"Luvia, help me take these things and walk farther away. Iluna, take care of my stone statue and cover it with illusion."

"OK!"

Iluna nodded quickly, and Luvia glanced at Shade with some annoyance, but after taking the keys, perfume bottle, dice and a few rings, she really walked away.

Under the moonlight, the stranger's shadow turned into a ball of light, and then the light turned into the cat's shadow again. The silver cat fell to the ground. Before Iluna stretched out her hand, the petrified wings spread out from both sides of the cat, and then wrapped the entire cat, successfully completing the entire process of petrification.

Although she felt regretful, Iluna still bent down and touched the stone, and then used illusion to cover it up. At the same time, she understood in her heart that although Luvia was lower in level than her, she had better illusion skills than her, and as a diviner, her ability to break illusions was also stronger, so Shade chose to carry the stone statue himself:

"But you chose me after all."

She happily prepared herself, and then asked Luvia to come over after she had walked away.

The girl with purple eyes walked back and looked at Iluna under the moonlight. It took five or six seconds before her eyes locked on the cat-shaped statue placed behind her pair of black high-heeled shoes.

"Sooner than I thought. I'm really not good at illusions."

Iluna shook her head regretfully, and Shade had already appeared behind her:

"This is just a try. In the past few days, Meghan can prepare targeted illusions. Moreover, I completed the last exploration of the Time Key and obtained the use of the Philosopher's Stone."

He took out the silver jewelry tied around his neck that glowed scarlet in the moonlight. The silver jewelry was inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone:

"The production and alchemy of the elixir of life are of no use to us for the time being, but using the Philosopher's Stone as a one-time consumable can achieve the 'maximum effect' of spell casting. This should ensure that I can successfully follow Megan to the island."

He has great confidence in the Philosopher's Stone, and so do Iluna and Luvia:

"But after all, there is only one Philosopher's Stone. It doesn't matter if you use it like this. After all, it is to save people."

Iluna nodded, and Luvia asked again:

"The first is to find Nadia Foran, the second is to combine your thaumaturgy with the witch's illusion, and maybe use some relics. So what about the third? What else can I do? The remaining coin I have here, That should solve the problem.”

"Coins are the last resort, and the third way is to take a roundabout way. Since you can't land on the island directly from the material world, it's better to leave the material world first, and then enter another island from another place."
