Whispering Verse

Moon Bay City, Parsifal Club.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Frey."

"Oh, good afternoon. Why, you just left in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Have you finally figured out that you want to find the girls here?"

Shade greeted Mrs. Frey familiarly, and the woman holding a feather fan, squinting and smiling, also warmly welcomed Shade:

"Or do you want to do other business with me?"

"Yes, I still want to inquire about something."

Shade smiled, and at the same time he heard the very clear sound of the dice beating.

Even though his face was disguised by the witch's eyeshadow, Mrs. Frey was still stunned for a moment under such a smile. The charm test passed. Although she would not immediately offer her loyalty to Shade as the witch teased, Mrs. Frey still greeted him more and more enthusiastically to go talk to no one.

So the two came to the third floor again, and Shade also explained what he wanted to investigate:

"Freeman Hawthorne was attacked here, and I want to know the details, details that I can't tell anyone else."

As he spoke, he was about to take out his wallet, but was pushed back by the closed fan. Mrs. Frey tapped his arm lightly with her fan and said angrily:

"Look at these muscles. I mean, it's just a small problem like this, and you don't have to pay. I can tell you whatever you want to know. Boatman, where did you know a beautiful person like you?"

Shade complained in his heart that the witch chose "charm" instead of "persuasion", but on the surface he was still thanking Mrs. Frey for her generosity.

As a result, he and the witch on the bell tower obtained further information:

"[Outlander] Charisma judgment was successful, and basic information was obtained, 'The crime scene is this room; the investigation of this case is under the responsibility of the Yuewan City Police Department, and they have obtained certain evidence.' Since the total points exceeded 200, additional points were obtained. Information'3. When the unconscious Freeman Hawthorne was found, he unconsciously said "Eternal Light"; since the total points exceeded 300, additional information was obtained'4. Although the criminal was knocked unconscious and Hawthorne was Two technical workers in the same room untied them, covered them with blankets, and each left two eurs of silver."

The witch suddenly realized:

"So the next two directions of investigation are: investigating the room and going to the Yuewan City Police Department. And this matter is related to the Eternal Light! Being considerate of the poor is also in line with their external propaganda! Wait, the organization Eternal Light is not Ordinary people organize it?”

"What does this have to do with eternal light?"

Shade in the club thought in surprise, but immediately recalled that the three questions he asked Hawthorne were "the three Rhodes cards, the Ring Warlock and the relic, and the eternal light." Obviously, although the "mind blast" caused the other party to lose a lot of memory, it only left the memory of this word.

However, these two pieces of additional information are not directly related to the real criminal. As the real criminal, Shade wanted to give the witch some hints, but "she" in his ears reminded her at this time:

"Someone is eavesdropping outside the window, it's the [Silent One]."

"[The Silent One] takes the second round of action in the second round. In the lurking state, eavesdrop on the information obtained by [The Foreign Traveler]!"

Before the witch could finish thinking about the newly acquired information, the woman in the black dress spoke. Miss Belindel frowned and looked at her, then also picked up the dice:

"Since everyone is a ring magician, let's give it a try. [Outlander] The second round of action in the second round, detect eavesdroppers!"

"[The Silent One] fights against the [Outlander]. Due to the current stealth state, the [Silent Person] has obtained basic information. The sum of the points of the dice rolled by the [Silent Person] and the basic value of [Stealth] and [Luck] is the total Points, due to the successful first round of stealth, an additional bonus of 50 points is obtained.

The sum of the points of [Outlander]'s dice roll and the basic value of [Luck] and [Detection] is the total points. Since [Silent One] is in stealth state, [Outlander]'s [Detection] value is halved.

The one with the higher points of either side will win the confrontation. If [The Silent One] wins, he will not be noticed. If the difference between the two points exceeds 20 points, he will get extra information 1, and if the difference exceeds 40 points, he will get extra information 2; if [The Stranger] wins, he will notice [Silence]. By】. "

The woman from the [Light Worshipers Training Association] had already rolled the dice in her hand, and the witch seriously drew out a divination card again.

"The points are 88, the first-level warlock's base [Stealth] is 110 points, and the [Luck] is 60 points. The symbol [Moccasin Boots] increases the stealth value by 5 points, the potion [Breath Condensation] is 20 points, and the thaumaturgy - [Illusion of Light and Shadow" is used) ] Carry out assisted sneaking and obtain a 1.2 times coefficient bonus; use the effect of the relic - [Lucky Pine Cone] to obtain a 1.3 times coefficient bonus; occupation - [Assassin], when performing professional actions, the total points will be 20 additional bonus points .”

She calculated her final points:

"88×1.5+110+60+5+20+20=347."

She hesitated for a moment and felt that she should be more conservative, so she said again:

"Activating the character's special talent - [Silence], at the cost of not being able to use [Talk] [Persuasion] in future rounds, any judgment in the current round will gain an additional 50 bonus points. The final point is 397."

After confirming the final points, he said to the woman with a vague face:

"Miss Amethyst, even though Miss Charlotte is also a ring magician, do you really know her entire list of magic arts? Judging from your performance just now, you don't seem to know much about her situation."

The witch did not speak, but rolled the dice and shook it in her palm, then threw it out:

"Points 42, [luck] 98, [detection]. Huh?"

She looked at the entry that had just appeared, and at the value as high as "1500". In astonishment, she saw that the traces left by the blue-black ink on the parchment were changing, and even exceeded 7 digits at the highest. Even though she had seen countless surprising things happen to "Miss Charlotte" in just over an hour, she was still shocked at this moment:

"What does this mean?"

It was because of this moment of pause that the woman on the other side of the confrontation, from the [Light Worshipers Training Association], had already placed a strange page-shaped copper-colored holy emblem on the table:

"Keeper of the Secret, I want to sacrifice this holy emblem of the old god [Fairy Tale Poet] to you, and request that the [Investigation] ability of the character [The Foreign Traveler] be sealed before the end of the story."

Although [Detection] will be punished by half, the Ring Warlock's detection points will definitely far exceed the "98 points" of luck. Based on the previous experience and seeing Ms. Amethyst's trembling hands, she guessed that the other party must have seen very exaggerated numbers.

But the hoarse voice replied:

"can not achieve."

So the woman in the black dress narrowed her demands:

"Sacrifice the Holy Emblem of [Fairy Tale Poet], and before the end of all actions in this round, the character [Outlander]'s [Detection] ability will be sealed."

Then the ancient copper-colored holy emblem turned into a point of light and disappeared. The woman breathed a sigh of relief and blinked at the blurry "Amethyst Miss":

"The holy symbols of the old gods, which are related to destiny, wisdom and stories, can affect the rules to a certain extent. You should also know this, right?"

Mr. O'Connor looked at "Miss Amethyst" hesitantly, worried about how to win in such a targeted situation.

But the witch breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that if she read out the extremely exaggerated "detection" value, something bad would happen:

"I also know the rules you mentioned. It is also a good thing to consume the precious old holy emblem in this way. You can get the holy emblem of the old god [Fairy Tale Poet], how can you still get the holy emblems of the God of Destiny and the God of Wisdom? Even those who are blessed by fate and wisdom?"

Because of her words, new content appeared on the parchment——

[Blessings of the wise: The wise never directly give power, the wise only give guidance. During the course of the Dice Story Collection, the character's dice points will never be lower than 30. 】(Note)

"this"

The witch opened her mouth and decided not to think about things she couldn't understand:

"The deck and the divination card - Queen, provide an additional 5 points each. Yes, I know this is not enough. The special ability [Mortal Luck] cannot be used now. The current value is 42+98+10=150 points. It’s not even close.”

The fine white sand in the hourglass fell slowly, and the witch fell into deep thought.

"So, this time it's finally my turn to take action."

In the Parsifal Club, the conversation was clearly over at this time, but Mrs. Frey was still standing in front of Shade, with a smile on her face and she was not embarrassed at all. Even though all the clues have been explained, the first-level warlock eavesdropping outside the door is still in a contradictory state of "not sure whether he has overheard additional information."

The wonderful feeling once again allowed Shade to understand the power of "Dice Stories". At the same time, he was fully aware of what was going on in the clock tower. He even knew that during the witch's hesitation, Mr. O'Connor of the church threw the dice to perform the second task of "Detective". It was the second round of the round, but unfortunately the decision was still not passed, and the police detective still could not think of going to the church to seek help.

"The me in the game is not the real me, the real me is the powerful me."

He muttered silently in his mind, and then looked directly at the door:

"It's really weird. Why do I feel like there's someone outside the door?"

Danglanglang~

With no one rolling the dice, the three people at the table heard the sound of the dice at the same time. That voice interrupted the thoughts of the witch who was thinking about guessing what special ability she had, and then they heard the familiar hoarse voice:

"[Outlander]'s inspiration is so powerful that even if he covers his eyes and blocks his ears, he can still feel the abnormal atmosphere outside the door. Due to the large gap between the two sides' [Inspiration] values, [Outlander] has an extra Obtain 50 points of confrontation advantage. At the same time, based on the special rules of hiding the abilities of the characters in this story, [Outlander] randomly activates 1 to 4 special abilities."

PS: This is Shade's constant state, see the information section.
