Whispering Verse

Shade, who was holding the cat, thought for a moment before understanding the meaning of this relic:

"That is to say, if little Mia and I are stabbed through with this sword, people will think that there is only little Mia, or only Shade. As for why a person grows on a cat, or a cat grows on a person's chest, people will think that there is only little Mia here, or only Shade." I will subconsciously ignore this problem and think that it is normal for cats to have humanoid tumors, or for me to have a 'cat on my chest'."

"Yes, that's pretty much what it means."

Miss Aurora nodded, and Luvia continued:

"The origin of this relic is very clear. Around 879 of the Fifth Era, a couple who committed suicide used this sword to die in love. Later, the ordinary long sword was attached to the evil spirit and became the so-called 'demon sword'. Because it was too weak, it The witch who discovered it simply purified the resentful spirit, retained the curse on it, and threw it into her warehouse as a collection, but she didn't expect it to become a relic later."

"The records of the Prophet's Association are correct. This sword was acquired by the Parliament from the Prophet's Association around 1235 of the Sixth Era, about 600 years ago. The reason why the Parliament is willing to acquire it is not that it is valuable, but because it is valuable. This sword was regarded by the Council as a relic of the ancient witches. Since then, this sword has been in the hands of the Council. It does have only the positive characteristics that Luvia just mentioned, but there are many negative characteristics."

Miss Aurora counted:

"First, after being punctured, the spirit of the evil spirit in the sword will continue to be affected; secondly, after being punctured, one of them may lose his sense of existence forever; thirdly, after being punctured, there is a chance of killing him with one hit. This requires someone Only with mortal resistance can one resist; fourth, when treated as a whole, the power of both will be reduced; fifth, the blood dripping from the sword is highly poisonous, and it is highly poisonous that acts on the soul; sixth, although the characteristics are exerted In the end, the two will be treated as a whole, but this is not completely impossible to see through. Our enemy this time is, after all, a diviner who has transcended the Thirteen Rings."

Shade nodded clearly:

"The cabinet and the invisibility cloak are intended to hide me in order to follow Megan and Audrey; this sword is intended to make me a part of them, so that I can follow them."

"It's like this. If you still want to try other methods, the council can actually come up with a lot of relics. Even if the council doesn't have them, all the great witches still have their own private collections. But again, this time the opponent is beyond As a fortune teller of the Thirteen Rings, in fact, these three are enough for this kind of attempt."

The second half of what Miss Aurora didn't say was probably that if these three relics couldn't be hidden, then there was no need to try other methods.

"Currently, the [Hide and Seek Wardrobe] has the best effect, but it is too big. The effect of the sword is very strange, but the negative characteristics must be paid attention to. The invisibility cloak is the most convenient to use, but it is also the easiest to see through."

Luvia concluded, so Miss Aurora asked her:

"Do you have any other suggestions? Bayas said that the Zhengshen Church is also making similar attempts, but the church has not come up with too innovative ideas."

The purple-eyed girl shook her head, actually thinking that she still had the last [Home Coin] in her hand. Once the Green Lake Hotel is lost tomorrow night, she will immediately perform a divination.

Now that the Green Lake negotiations have been interrupted, the people from other places who originally rented the Green Lake Hotel have also left together with the Tobesk nobles who left the local area. This is good news. It frees up a lot of rooms in the hotel.

As evening approached this afternoon, Sister Devlin took the blind nuns who came to the Green Lake area and stayed here. They lived on the second floor, next to Durut Giles and Rusty Edwards. Strangely enough, the soul of the little girl who had always been afraid of Priest Augustus was quite friendly to Sister Devlin.

Shade even asked the girl, who was already very familiar with him, why she was friendly to the nuns, and the girl said:

"She has a warm feeling about her."

She opened her arms and drew a big circle in the air:

"It's like the temperature of the remaining ashes after burning wood on a dark snowy night. Although the temperature is not high, it can provide reassuring warmth."

Shade looked at her in surprise:

"You did well in your recent grammar class."

After Durut Giles checked into the hotel, he had no intention of wandering around the city. So in his spare time, this history lecturer served as Rust Edwards' grammar and basic mathematics teacher.

"Giles, Giles~ I was praised!"

The girl clapped her hands and floated away, looking very excited. Of all the Edwardses, she was probably the least nervous about tomorrow night's family dinner. Shade hopes that at this time two days later, she can still wander around the hotel so freely. But he was also a little curious about whether Rust Edwards could still maintain the innocence of a child when she saw her father who strangled her to death with his own hands again.

The constant rain is upsetting, but also reassuring for those who can stay indoors.

The sound of rain silenced the city. It was clear that the storm had arrived, but the depressing atmosphere still made people feel that something more terrible was about to happen.

After all the negotiating delegations evacuated on Tuesday morning, the city halls of Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City successively issued orders prohibiting navigation on Green Lake, and announced that in order to thoroughly search the area, they would begin on Wednesday afternoon. , imposing comprehensive martial law on the entire area for one day.

People who didn't know the inside story took it as an early warning that the armies of the two countries were gathering to prepare for the battle in the Green Lake area. But all the ring magicians know that this is the church's warning to the ring magicians who still stay in the local area, not to cause trouble to the church at this time.

At the same time, this is also a means to protect local ordinary people. It is difficult to say how many people will be affected by the Battle of Green Lake. It would be best if the battlefield is limited to that island, but once the battlefield of high-level warlocks comes near the city, the casualties will be really hard to say.

Shade has been in the hotel this afternoon, repeatedly confirming the plan with the witches and Luvia, and communicating with Helen, Grace and Dorothy.

The best-case scenario would be to prevent the Edwards family from becoming one and allow Durout Giles and Rust Edwards to become the Chosen One. But if the story in the Green Lake area really goes to a different ending, Shade will have his own way.

But after he has some free time, he will also think about how the story of the chosen ones in space ended in the original [past life]. He was in Randall Valley this year just to prevent Siris from taking the initiative to die and become a part of the "Guardians", so he accomplished so many things and finally reversed the ending. But for Green Lake, he really couldn't guess what the long-haired Luvia did in the Sixth Age without him.

"Don't think so much, Luvia will tell me one day."

Tomorrow is Wednesday, and it is definitely impossible for everyone to eat tomorrow's dinner together, so everyone attaches great importance to Tuesday's dinner.

Even though it was raining heavily outside, the Green siblings arranged the kitchen in advance to prepare a sumptuous banquet. When the sun behind the clouds disappeared below the horizon, and the gas lamps with a strange halo lit up on the roadside on a wet and rainy day, the six great witches, the four witch apprentices, Dorothy, Luvia, and Sister Devlin , even Grace and Helen, who didn't like to participate in such activities, sat down with Shade in the restaurant on the second floor.

The restaurant on the second floor was originally simply furnished, but with a wave of hands, a few great witches turned it into a well-decorated place. Miss Carina provided silverware and candlesticks. When the sumptuous dishes in the candlelight covered the table, Shade found that the atmosphere here was quite depressing.

He still remembered that before the Battle of Randall Valley, the witches also held such a dinner. But compared with more than two months ago, this time it involves the safety of the Great Witch of the Council. Even though everyone is well prepared, everyone is still a little worried.

Granny Cassandra, as the oldest and most experienced witch here, replaced Miss Aurora from Randall Valley. In the silence before the banquet started, she picked up her wine glass and stood up.

Miss Rita Swift, who was sitting next to her, wanted to help her, but the old witch refused:

"Everyone."

She raised the wine glass high in the light of the gas lamp next to the wall, and her voice was old but extremely high:

"Times have changed. In the past 1,800 years of the Sixth Era, the days when the great witches could sit quietly under parasols drinking black tea, talking about their business, and commenting on current affairs in newspapers are gone. We will become , those brave and strong girls from the Fifth Era, to meet the next era.”

Everyone looked up at her. Shade, who was asked to sit at the head table, held down the cat who was eager to eat.

"In the next era, whether there will still be witches like us and whether we will still have our parliament will be decided by you sitting here together. We are not just for ourselves, but also for the next generation of witches, and for the next generation of witches. Parliamentary friendship and a shared commitment."

Granny Cassandra glanced sternly at the other five witches:

"Looking up at me, our ancestors have experienced more dangerous moments in the past, and the parliament has not suffered the mysterious death of the great witch. Today, it is the most powerful era of the parliament in thousands of years. We even found Shade, so you Why worry. Now, please hold a glass of wine with me."

The cups were held up by white hands one after another. The six great witches spoke together and clinked the cups into the air——

Duang~

"For the future of the Parliament and the future of the Witch. The Battle of Green Lake must be our victory!"
