Whispering Verse

By the time Shad returned home from Randall Valley with two red butterfly playing cards, it was almost lunch time. He saw Luvia and Iluna's shoes in the hall and knew that they had returned.

Sure enough, when they arrived on the second floor and entered the door, they saw Luvia and Iluna sitting on the sofa chatting, while little Mia was lying on the window sill, basking in the sun as usual.

"Welcome home!"

Shade opened his arms and hugged the two girls respectively. The three of them reunited in Saint Teresa Square after a long absence, and Shade was very happy.

Iluna and Luvia have already taken leave from the church and the Prophet's Association respectively, and have just returned to Tobesk City. They have to deal with some personal matters, so they don't have to go to work all day today.

Shade then went to the restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue to order lunch and asked the restaurant to deliver the lunch directly to his home.

Since it was a family dinner, it could be more casual and they talked about a lot of things during lunch. Iluna showed off her eight-ring life ring and told the two of her new power:

"When I was promoted, I was promoted to the eighth ring because of the 'two-in-one' fusion with Sha De. Sha De's soul is very warm."

She was still a little embarrassed when she said this, but seeing that Luvia had no reaction, she continued to introduce:

"Later, Shade merged with me and the chosen one in space to repair the space-time vortex in the sky. During this period, I came into contact with the essence of the composite soul that had just become the chosen one, so I gained an additional spiritual rune [ Distorted space].”

As she spoke, she demonstrated her newly acquired ability to the two of them. She did not suddenly learn the power of space movement such as "Ragrai's Jump", but another strange ability:

"Look."

The thumb and index finger of her left and right hands are extended respectively, and the four fingers are brought together into a long shape. Then his eyes looked at the fork on Shade's plate through the frame formed by his fingers. The fork disappeared out of thin air and then appeared in Iluna's hand:

"As long as I can see objects in this way, I can get them. At present, they can only be objects without souls, but I can feel that as I advance, I will be able to capture living people like this in the future. Is this not a thaumaturgy, but a talent? Oh, just like before, I don’t understand it either.”

"The Mirror Association also has similar abilities, but their power is different from yours. You can learn spells such as 'Eagle Eye Technique', so that you can get things that are inconvenient to get directly from thousands of meters away."

Shade found this skill quite useful.

Luvia thought for a while:

"I remember that after the story of the Dark Chosen One, the ability you gained was"

"Dark Vortex."

The whirlpool appeared in front of Iluna. She stretched out her hand through the whirlpool, and her right arm appeared on Shade's side, putting his fork back:

"The dark vortex is the power of darkness. Although it behaves like space, its essence is completely different. But with the new spiritual runes, maybe I can try to learn other space powers. I don't know if I have such a talent. I heard It's difficult."

Shade and Luvia both laughed, and Shade even said:

"Laplace Howard left me many books, which contain a lot of information about space thaumaturgy. Iluna, you have also touched the statue of the ancient god underground at the Green Lake Hotel. If you have time, you can go to the old Edwards house to read. "

"Reading a book"

Iluna shook her head in distress, put away her life ring, and then concentrated on the stew on the dinner plate. Shade said to Luvia:

"Speaking of those books, Luvia, I asked Meghan to help organize them and move the books about astrology and divination to No. 6, Saint Teresa Square. These books are for you. I am very familiar with astrology and divination. My understanding is only superficial. Oh, there is an extra room on the third floor where you can put those books, just opposite your astrology room."

They didn't know about the extra room on the third floor, so they listened to Shade's brief introduction. Later, Luvia also showed her life ring, and she now has seven rings:

"I was promoted on the way back. No, I didn't prepare for the promotion ceremony. I had a weird dream. I don't remember what I dreamed about. It seemed like I was wearing different clothes and commenting on my life or something. But when I woke up, it was already the seventh ring, oh, how do I explain this to the association?"

Although there is a troubled expression on her face, this is definitely a happy trouble. Luvia will benefit from guiding the chosen ones and witnessing the chosen ones. Shade guessed that this is because she guided or broke the established destiny, so Got the reverse force of fate.

But now she has reached the seventh ring like Shade. This level can be regarded as a decent combat power in the material world.

"I am also at the seventh level now, so I don't need to introduce you. You were all there that day. Since Iluna is already at the eighth level, the word of sublimation in the middle level is just the last spiritual rune, right?"

Shade asked again.

Iluna put down her knife and fork and nodded lightly. She was particularly elegant when eating. This seemed to be something she learned during her training at the Holy See:

"My words of sublimation in the middle ring, the [Fool] who [Dances] [Thunder], will definitely [Tear into pieces] the [Poetry] of fate. The core spiritual rune is [Thunder], and now only the [Fool] is missing. In fact, [Destiny] You only need any one of the [Poems], and different combinations will lead to different sublimation rituals, and the final form of the words of sublimation will also be different, which is similar to my low-level words of sublimation."

Iluna's low-level sublimation words are "The [hero] who [chases] [light] will eventually [break free] from the [shackles] of fate." Among them, choose one of "destiny" and "shackles", and Iluna chooses Off the shackles.

In other words, Iluna had the opportunity to choose "destiny" twice but failed to choose it. In the middle of the ring, she once again gave up "destiny" and chose "verse".

"[The Fool], maybe I can help, but this spiritual rune is indeed not simple."

Luvia said on the side, and Shade thought again that her words of sublimation were "writing in whispers, writing poems of destiny."

"One is 'writing the poem of destiny' and the other is 'tearing the poem of destiny'."

Shade thought silently in his heart, not sure whether this meant anything.

After lunch, the servants from the Golden October Restaurant came to clear the table and collect the tableware. Before they left, Shade did not forget to remind them about the meal delivery time in the evening.

"I spent the money myself this time, not on Lesia or Carina's account. There is a large amount of property in the old Edwards house, which Megan and Audrey and I jointly hold. As for the Fulen brothers, The Edwards brothers and the others have Megan and Audrey as their elders, so naturally they don't have a share. Laplace Howard personally said it was given to me, and I'm not that generous. And that property is huge. Part of it is not easy to sell, so Meghan said that if I need money, I can ask her to withdraw it. Why does it feel wrong?”

Shade asked doubtfully, and of course the purple-eyed girl laughed. As for the dinner in the evening, it was to make up for Iluna's birthday party. When he went out at noon, he even ordered a cake.

And since those properties were mentioned, Shade did not forget to tell them how many books, laboratories, and materials the fortune teller left behind. Just that small piece of "Philosopher's Stone" already satisfied Xia De, not to mention other gains.

"I've inherited his fire and moved on in his place."

"Go forward, where?"

Iluna asked in confusion. The afternoon sunlight shone through the window into the living room on the second floor. Shade looked at them while holding the cat taking a nap:

"The end of the world, yes, the end of the world is coming."

He told what he knew about it and how Laplace Howard described it.

Luvia is not surprised at all:

"There will definitely be a big event at the end of the Whispering Psalm, the end of the world? This answer is a bit cliché, but what does the chosen one have to do with this?"

She doesn't seem to worry about the end of the world at all:

"We are already on the right path, and the pursuit of the Thirteen Chosen Ones has become even more valuable. Witness their stories, let as many of the Chosen Ones stand beside us, and then push open the final door. Balance. , death, knowledge, earth, space. We will win it all."

Although Shade was worried, even Iluna was not worried about this:

"Luvia is right!"

The eighteen-year-old girl believed that Shade would definitely save the world, so she didn't have to worry about the end of the world. She could just wait for Shade to deal with it or Shade to ask her for help. And she was thinking that after Shade saved the world, she would be the one to save Shade. She was still thinking about the secret language composed of five words, and still thinking about how to find the "dead" thing and then resurrect it.

She couldn't even decide whether to ask Shade and Luvia. Although none of the five "guardians" said it, she still felt that it was best for only she to know this secret word:

"But I want Shade to have the strongest feelings for me. Do you want to ask Luvia for help?"

Her thoughts became more and more divergent, but she just didn't focus on the news of the end of the world.

Seeing that they were not very worried, Xia De felt a little relieved:

"No matter what the future holds, let's go on together. I will investigate all of this, and there are more people, preparing for the final end. Luvia, Iluna, just as agreed at the beginning , we will move forward together until the end.”

Luvia asked with a smile:

"Do you want to do this?"

She held out her right hand, and Shade put it down. Iluna immediately reached out and put her hand on Shade's hand, pinching him together with Luvia:

"Yes, until the end!"

The three of them said together that even if they knew the end of the world, they would still support each other and move forward together. Just like what Shade said, this was agreed upon from the beginning.
