Whispering Verse

The customs problem is enough to be solved within a week, leaving only the port authority controlled by the Eddington family and the dock office controlled by the Hawthorne family. This does not seem to be difficult to solve. Of course, we still have to deal with the fate of the great witch.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know what the name of Belinder is. Knowing the name, I can know the true identity of the other party."

[When we meet in the afternoon, will you still not let her see you? 】

"Of course, just turn into a cat. As long as I don't let her observe me up close, she won't be able to tell the difference between a male cat and a female cat.

As long as she treats me as a woman, I can keep pretending to be a follower of the witch until other great witches come to the local area to explain this matter to me. This is not just fear of trouble, but also "

After leaving the bookstore, Shade looked up at the thick black clouds covering Yuewan City:

"I also know that I am a little too greedy. Since I am entangled with the fate of so many witches, of course I have to restrain myself. I also know how much I owe them."

[Yes, you knew it all along. 】

Because he wasted some time talking in the bookstore, Shade did not go home for lunch. Instead, after simply solving the problem of lunch at a nearby tavern, he went to the Moon Bay City Council and Belindel Big Ben as the core walking around the central area of ​​the city. On the one hand, he was observing the nearby terrain, and on the other hand, he was also trying to determine whether the witch lady from the Belindel family had arrived in advance.

Shade, who was strolling around during the lunch hour, passed two men and women who looked normal while walking through Parliament Street on the east side of Clock Tower Square. The man among them also wore black sunglasses on a cloudy day and held a violin case in his right hand. The woman was carrying a piano case of the same style, holding a map in her hand and reading it while walking.

They didn't know that the young people they passed by already knew that they were ring warlocks, but since they had nothing to do with the detectives in a foreign land, Shade ignored them.

So the man and the woman continued along Parliament Street and entered the Yuewan City Council Square under the clock tower. After chatting in a low voice, they admired the magnificence of the statue in the center of the square and the height of the tallest bell tower on the West Coast, and then entered the alley on the side. .

A corner of the life ring appeared, the thaumaturgic effect was activated, and then with the help of the effect of the relic [Ateless Light], the two of them, together with everything on their bodies, merged into the dim skylight. The two figures were lost in the alley. In the form of light, they flew directly to the top of the bell tower of Belindel's Big Ben.

Even though this is the core of the city, even though the Parliament Square is crowded with people on Sunday afternoon, no one noticed those two strange lights.

In order to enjoy the scenery conveniently, Belindel Big Ben has a special open-air viewing platform behind the dial, and the roof above the viewing platform is mechanically controlled and concealable. Now that the roof is not unfolded, two beams of light fall directly onto the terrace.

The body changed from light back to normal, but they still remained invisible. After standing firm, he looked around and made sure that there were only tables under umbrellas and potted plants on the edge of the viewing terrace, and then opened the violin cases in his hands. After calibrating and positioning with the astrolabe, start setting up the ceremony on the viewing platform.

The two had obviously rehearsed in advance and drew the ceremony very quickly. However, their work did not proceed smoothly. Even the ritual array on the ground had not been completely sketched before the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

Looking up, he saw a white-robed middle-aged priest with the Dawn Holy Emblem symbolizing the righteous god - [Mr. Dawn] hanging on his chest. Behind him were two middle-circle warlocks, a man and a woman, entering the terrace at the top of the bell tower:

"Good afternoon, sir and madam. I'm curious what you think."

The nine-ring warlock asked curiously, his brown eyes directly seeing through the invisibility of the two people:

"In the core area of ​​Yuewan Diocese, and it was still daytime, you used relics and flew from the ground to the tower above the heads of thousands of people. What on earth were you thinking? The Five Gods Church's control over the diocese should not be compromised. Are you thinking that we can't even discover this?"

The men and women who were arranging the ceremony dropped what they were holding, but they did not summon their life rings. The man looked at the round afternoon tea table under the umbrella on the terrace:

"Madam, please come out too."

"Oh, you noticed me?"

A woman's soft voice came, and after the air rippled like water, the woman sitting at the table and the two maids behind her appeared together. However, the faces of the three people were all blurry and twisting like water balls, and their weird looks made people think of something even more terrifying.

But the church's ring warlocks were not surprised. The young female sorcerer standing behind the nine-ring warlock who led the team even recognized who it was:

"Are you the 'Amethyst Lady'?"

The most famous fortune teller in the local black market is naturally known to the churches in Yuewan area. The witch Bella Belindel lives in Yuewan City, and naturally has dealt with the church more than once. Because she has cooperated with the church several times, the relationship between the two parties is not bad.

"Hello, Miss Malina."

The beautiful lady with a fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows stood up, led her maids, and everyone in Dawn Church looked at the men and women standing together. Her fake falsetto still contained a lazy tone:

"The Keeper-level relic [Ateless Light] allows itself to blend into light and move in the light, and can even penetrate water, glass, and transparent barriers. If I remember correctly, this relic has long since fallen into [ [Light Worshipers Training Association]. I did have some issues with you three years ago, but I don’t know, are you trying to provoke the church this time, or are you trying to lure me out?"

She was originally waiting here for the meeting time with "Vanessa's followers", and planned to have the maid call the mysterious lady up from the club under the tower when the time came, and reveal her true identity to shock the opera troupe. The "country girl". She had already confirmed to the witch of the earth that Shade's identity was correct, but she was still confused about why Vanessa Benanis looked weird when the "sorceress of the seven rings" was introduced.

"We are only following the orders of His Excellency 'Light Chaser' and will not ask why."

The woman in her thirties, wearing a black skirt, spoke cautiously, clenching her fists as if she was holding something. She is speaking to everyone here:

"Your Excellency, Light Chaser, I hope we will come to this tower and invite the ring warlocks of the church to play a game with 'Amethyst Lady'. The game time is limited to before sunset today. Mr. O'Connor of Hope Dawn Church and 'Purple Crystal' Lady Crystal', can you forgive us for not sending out the invitation in advance this time."

"Not only do you know that this fortune teller lady will be here, you can even know in advance, am I the one patrolling nearby today?"

Nine-ring warlock York O'Connor took a step forward without saying a word, and the cane in his hand was covered with a layer of light. He decided to arrest the other party first, but the woman's fist had been opened, and everyone present could see the black metal ten-sided dice lying in her palm.

"Stop her!"

Although he didn't recognize what it was, Mr. O'Connor had already taken action. The witch, who recognized what it was, stood there without moving:

"What's this? It's too late."

Danglanglang~

The dice were obviously just spinning in the woman's hand, but they still made the sound of beating and spinning on the hard table. The light spear flying out from the palm of the nine-ring warlock melted into the whispering elements of the angel-level relics that suddenly spread in all directions.

An invisible barrier completely separates the clock tower terrace from the normal world. The dim skylight became even darker and more depressing at this moment. But the next second, a beam of white skylight that could even be called dazzling shone from higher altitudes on the huge square stone table that appeared in the center of the terrace at an unknown time.

The steady light illuminating the stone table inexplicably reminded the witch of the scene in the parliament, and the chairs appearing in the north, south, south and south directions of the stone table at this moment once again confirmed her suspicions about this relic.

And as the skylight that illuminated the round table became brighter, the light in other areas of the entire terrace disappeared little by little, until it completely disappeared into darkness. In this process, the silence in the blocked Scenery Terrace area is not that people intentionally do not speak, but that they temporarily lose the ability to make a sound.

The woman in black dress holding the dice came under the white skylight and sat on the east side of the table, while the man stood behind her.

She made an invitation gesture to the six people who were still standing:

"The game begins, Mr. O'Connor, Ms. Amethyst, please take a seat."

With a smile on his face, the relic in his hand has been placed on the table:

"Do you need me to introduce the rules? Angel-level relics."

".[Collection of Dice Stories]."

The vague-faced witch said the name of the relic, but no one could clearly see her expression at this moment. While the expressions of everyone in Dawn Church changed greatly, the witch took the lead and sat on the chair in the south, while the two maids stood behind her.

"You should know what this is."

She said to the ring magicians of the church, but she actually looked at the young girl among them, Miss Marina of the Sixth Ring:

"The city of Delrayon-Tobesk has become a typical case that all dioceses need to learn from. The Keeper game that the balanced chosen one completed last year with the [Truth Society] and the [Order of Doom] is impossible for you. have no idea."

"Yes, Ms. Amethyst. Once the relic is activated, no one can leave here unless the story is told to the end."

said Mr. York O'Connor, who then took the last northern chair. He had dealt with this mysterious "Amethyst Lady" before and knew that she was a good partner.

"[Dice Story Collection], based on the current scene, generates the most realistic game and tells a magical adventure story. After the [Truth Society] and [The Order of Doom] were defeated by the balanced chosen ones last year, this incident The relic disappeared, and I didn’t expect it to end up in your hands.”

He said to the woman sitting on the east side, who said calmly:

"Relics of this kind of rules and destiny will choose the appropriate place to appear. We just got it by accident. The failure of the Truth Society was because the current president, the crazy Miss Pavo, wanted to take the chosen one. The chosen one has also calculated into his own plan, but now there is no chosen one present here."
