Whispering Verse

Now that a lot of time has passed since fifteen minutes, he must speed up. Fortunately, this strange island has little impact on him, and the monsters here will not actively attack him. If he rushes over at full speed within ten minutes, there should be no big problem.

Crossing half of the island seems troublesome to ordinary people, but in fact, when Shade arrived at the location of the disappeared mansion in the south of the town from the entrance of Green Lake Hotel, only seven minutes had passed.

The fluttering butterflies turned into Shade's appearance in the rain and continued to move up the hills. As expected, the closer they got to Edwards' old house, the lighter the rain became and the thicker the fog became.

This was the only road leading to the mansion in the town. There seemed to be countless things peeping at him in the fog, but he went smoothly and finally arrived in front of Edwards' old house.

In reality and in dreams, Shade has been here countless times. At this time, looking outside the mansion, all the windows were lit up, and different figures could be seen moving inside the house through the windows. Like a servant in a house, or a guest at a banquet.

No one was here to welcome Shade, but the gate to the courtyard outside the house was unlocked.

Shade reached out and was about to open the door and walk in, but suddenly he heard the voice behind him:

"Have you decided yet? Do you want to make a choice?"

Turning around to look, I didn't know when a lady wearing a green robe appeared behind me. She has beautiful blue eyes, but they are a little different from the blonde writer's eyes, which are darker. In her hand she held a short, glowing green branch, and around her neck hung the holy symbol of two overlapping leaves belonging to the Church of Nature.

"Are you the Nightmare Witch of the Church of Nature, Miss Maria?"

This thirteenth-ring sorceress has been known to Shade since the Pantanal incident. She is a friend of Sister Devlin. Although she does not look old and has a similar appearance to Miss Aurora and Miss Bernice, she is actually the older one among the existing Thirteen Ring Warlocks in the Church of the Five Gods. That batch.

"I came here through a dream projection, this is not my body."

The lady with emerald green eyes said to Shade in Drarian language. Although Shade had been in contact with her many times, this was the first time for him to have such a close conversation:

"Hello, what's the matter with stopping me? I'm in a hurry to attend the banquet."

He pointed to the house with the lights on:

"If you want to find the balanced chosen one, you can go to the south of the island. She should be over there."

The thirteen-ring sorceress shook her head slightly:

"God Caller, I'm waiting for you here."

Shade was a little surprised, but still nodded:

"Excuse me, what's the matter? Who are you talking to me on behalf of?"

"Godcaller, so far, this is the appearance of the sixth chosen one. You are more or less involved in who the first five chosen ones are. You are choosing the chosen one."

"NO, I have not."

Shade shook his head, and the lady in the fog did not refute:

"I'm waiting for you here because I hope you can tell us who you want to be the chosen one this time. The activation of Edwardsden's magic is almost impossible to stop, even if you walk in front of everyone again, I'm afraid It is also difficult to prevent the initiation of the ceremony. But you still have a chance to kill the traitor of the Prophet Association during the ceremony, and you can also choose to become his enemy after he performs the ceremony. So this time, who are you going to choose?"

"Definitely not a traitor to the Prophet's Association."

He said with certainty:

"If it can be stopped, I will stop him and then let the second candidate hold the ceremony. This is the best result I can think of. If it cannot be stopped, even if he really becomes the chosen one, I will kill him . If he dies, the second candidate will not be able to hold the ceremony. In order to stabilize the space, I will let the third candidate come. The third candidate is my people, they will be fine."

The thirteenth-ring sorceress nodded slightly:

"This is also the result that the church hopes to see. Godcaller, after the Battle of Randall Valley, the Church of the Sun will follow the oracle and will not explore your identity too much, and the Church of the Five Gods has no intention of being an enemy of you. For so long, You have been helping the church, and after the Battle of Green Lake, the church wants to give you a gift."

Shade frowned slightly:

"Actually, you can just tell me what the church wants you to say to me."

"Laplace Klein Howard has some information. I don't mean the information about the human body, or even the information about Edwards' magic. He has gone too far into exploring the truth of "The Whispering Cantos", and he also I have tried to know the mysteries of time, to peer into the past and future, things that should not be known now.”

"Nightmare Witch" Maria said softly:

"Those information must still be in his hands. We will not prevent you from obtaining and knowing them. That is your right. The church just hopes that it is enough for you to know those things. Don't go too far into exploring the truth or falsehood, and don't follow the Follow the path of Laplace Klein Howard."

"The church knows exactly what he has researched. No, is it the Prophets Association?"

The sorceress nodded:

"The Prophet Association has a cooperative relationship with the Church of the Five Gods, and we do not have the power to completely interfere with their research. This time, in order to fight against Laplace Klein Howard, the Prophet Association finally said that it was once in Laplace During the years when S. Klein Howard was active, the association studied some taboo subjects."

"Well, I can just read it myself and not spread that knowledge around. Or if I have a chance, I will destroy all his research materials, but what will I gain?"

Shade asked, and the sorceress asked back:

"Excuse me, what do you need?"

There were obviously many choices left for him, but Xia De said without thinking:

"First, the Philosopher's Stone. Second, I want a heart of the living dead."

"Heart of the Living Dead" is something that Shade has long wanted to get again, and it is also to prevent accidents tonight, but there is no way to remedy it. As for the "Philosopher's Stone", when the answer came out of his mouth instinctively, he was surprised at his choice. But thinking about it carefully, the "Philosopher's Stone" was indeed very good, so he did not change his tune.

Miss Maria nodded slightly:

"No problem. In addition to the gifts originally prepared for you, we will give these two items to you through appropriate channels after the Battle of Green Lake. The Philosopher's Stone is raised by our Nature Church. This is a perfect thank you to you. It solved the evil in the Pantanal."

Her figure was already a little unstable, but she still extended her hand to Shade:

"God Summoner, I have a power here that I can give to you temporarily, hoping to help you fight against the fortune teller."

So the two people held their hands together, and as the sorceress's figure turned into a green light spot in the mist, the light spot flew to Shade's right arm, and left a patch of light on the surface of his skin. Imprint in the shape of a leaf.

[No problem, just pure power. 】

Shade nodded, opened the door and entered the courtyard of Edwards' old house.

It's like going back in time, and everything in the courtyard of the old house seems to have been used yesterday. The big branches are lush and leafy, the ropes and seats of the swing are shaking in the rain, the well mouth is not covered by stone slabs, and flowers are still blooming in the flowerbed beside the fence.

Arriving at the door of the house, Shade knocked on the door, and then the door automatically opened in front of him.

The sound of cheerful dance music and the bright lights made Shade's eyes a little uncomfortable as he walked out of the dark night. Those people dancing happily to the music in the house clearly have the heartbeat and vitality of living people, but in Shade's eyes, they are still moving in almost every corner of the house like ghosts.

No one paid attention to Shade. Shade hooked his little finger and felt that Megan was on the third floor, but the invitation in his hand showed the words "second floor":

"Well, let's go to the third floor first. The moment has finally arrived."

After squeezing through the well-dressed townspeople, he climbed the stairs to the third floor of the mansion. Pushing through the crowded crowd in the corridor, under the bright gas light, I saw the only open door on the third floor, which was the banquet hall of the mansion with a red carpet and magnificent double golden doors.

The man dressed as an old butler kept bowing at the door, and the crowded crowd in the house only left a free space at the door of the banquet hall.

He handed the invitation in his hand to the butler and then stepped into the banquet hall. Compared to the excitement outside, there were no townspeople in the huge banquet hall, not even Meghan as Shade felt.

Stepping into the room, the surroundings became completely quiet. There was only one dining table set up here, and there was only one person sitting at that dining table.

The ancestor of the Edwards family, the origin of everything in the family, Laplace Howard, wearing a black tuxedo and a monocle, is sitting at the head of the long table opposite the door. The other members of the family are missing. .

He stared at Shade standing at the door, and Shade asked:

"What about the rest?"

The fortune teller said softly:

"I will send Pride and Gratoni, who have recovered from their injuries, to attack your hotel. The others will wait for us in another place. The banquet will not officially begin until they come back. Please don't worry, I won't Hurt your friends, I just wanted to make tonight a little safer.”

The two names he mentioned were the second son and youngest daughter of Sandai, who were also Meghan's grandfather and grandmother. The former was corrupted into a demon, and the latter transformed into a demonic black dragon form. Shade still remembers it vividly.

Shade narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Delaying for time? Is your ceremony not ready yet?"

"No, it's not to delay time. I originally wanted to start the banquet directly. I have been waiting for this moment for more than two hundred years, but my most important partner wants me to have a special invitation with you before the banquet officially begins. Guest, do some interesting activities. She wants to see what other methods you have without calling the gods."

"Partner. Truth Society? Miss Paavo is here?"
