Whispering Verse

Neither the [Light Worshipers Training Group] nor the ring magicians of [Dawn Church] could understand what happened this time. Although many things have happened that conflict with the basic rules since the beginning of this story, this is the first time that it has been passed without any judgment.

Only the witch looked at the parchment roll in her hand and the newly displayed content. She knew the reason:

[Occupation-Wise Man: A wise man recognized by ancient gods and angels. Once in each game, the first [Intelligence] judgment will be passed directly with the maximum value. For each subsequent [Intelligence] determination, if the confrontation fails or the determination fails, 40 career points will be gained. 】

"The wise man. Recognized as the [wise man] by ancient gods, angels, and now angel-level relics."

The narration in the hoarse voice continues:

"The [Outlander] who solved the puzzle obtained the key clue from the coroner, but was required to open it on a high roof."

"My question is, what is 1 plus 1?"

At the door of the police station, Mr. Ptolemy Albert asked seriously. Shade asked him to test him with puzzles just to comply with the rules of "Dice Stories", and Mr. Ptolemy Albert was indeed "reasonable".

"I think if the calculation is correct, it should be equal to 2."

Shade thought for a moment before replying.

"Very good, congratulations on passing my test. Now I will give you this important information, but it cannot be opened now. Yes, it must be opened in a high place such as a roof."

Mr. Albert solemnly returned the ball of paper to him.

After Shade thanked him, the two also said goodbye to each other. Shade listened to the sound of the dice beating in his ears, and knew that in the second round of the third round, [Detective] was trying to persuade the priest of the church, and [Silent Man], who used [Stealth] again, successfully entered the police station, and also Got the information that Shade just got from Mr. Albert.

There are still two rounds of actions left in the third round. According to the progress of the story, the next step should be to continue exploring the Police Department, or choose to leave early to meet Freeman Hawthorne or go to the lower city to inquire about the situation in order to gain the upper hand in the next round. Advantage.

But after hearing the description of the story in his ears, Shade left the door of the police station and entered a deserted alley. At the other end of the alley, the [Silent One] who also left the police station has appeared at this moment.

"[The Silent One] attacks [the foreigner]."

When the woman from the [Light Worshipers Training Association] said this, the witch was not surprised at all. Currently, the [Outlander Traveler] had too great an advantage. Rather than catching up in subsequent investigations, killing and silencing her was indeed the most direct method. But the witch did not relax her vigilance because [The Silent One] was only a first-level warlock. On the contrary, the opponent dared to attack even though he knew that [The Foreign Traveler] was of a high level, which showed that the enemy must have his own support.

"I have the right to take the initiative."

The woman in a long black dress said to the witch:

"Miss Amethyst, Your Excellency Light Chaser originally thought that the biggest enemy this time was the church. Unexpectedly, the local fortune teller in Moon Bay is indeed well-deserved. We are surprised that the 'character' you chose is so powerful, but this time it is We have won, please cooperate with our actions in the future. If you are willing, I can invite you and Miss Charlotte to become one of us on behalf of Your Excellency Light Chaser."

The witch shook the dice in her hand:

"How do you want to cheat this time? Do you want to take out the old sacred emblem, or do you still have coins in your hand?"

She already has a way to win in her mind. The strength judgment bonus coefficient provided by the cheating character's special ability "Power of the Earth", coupled with the strength points of the seventh-ring sorceress herself, even though [The Silent One] itself has There are no other special bonuses to worry about.

Without knowing the magic list of "Miss Charlotte" and using basic spells such as "Fire" at most, getting up close unexpectedly and then using "Strength" to defeat [The Silent One] is comparable to using divination to try to trigger Thaumaturgy that you don’t know is much simpler:

"I did a divination this morning, and today is my lucky day."

"Miss Amethyst, if you believe in the divination results too much, you will fall into the trap of fate. The battle round begins, initiative, and [Silent One] sneaks! Due to the special initiative status, there is no need to judge this time to succeed directly."

"Oh, using illusions?"

As Shade watched, the one-ring warlock at the other end of the alley summoned the life ring, and then used illusion to sneak. The opponent's illusion should not be hidden from Shade's eyes, but after it disappeared, Shade couldn't sense it no matter how he sensed it:

"I thought he would take out some kind of magical relic and kill me in one fell swoop. What does stealth mean? Want to get close?"

"Want to get closer?"

On the bell tower, the witch also made a similar judgment. She was happy at first, and then shocked. Because what she wants to do is to fight the opponent in close combat, but the opponent must have a reason for doing this:

"[The Foreign Traveler] does not cast spells this round, and concentrates on waiting for the opponent to take action. If it abandons its actions this round, the [Silent One] will no longer have the right to take initiative in the next round. The [The Foreign Traveler] can take action at the same time as the [Silent One]."

The reason why [Reconnaissance] was not conducted to find [The Silent One] is because if you don't act this round, the opponent's first move advantage can be offset in the next round. Moreover, you have to act multiple times in the battle round, so that you won't have to act every time because of the opponent's First mover advantage puts them at a disadvantage. The advantage brought by [Stealth] is limited to this operation.

"[Detective] tries to persuade again."

Mr. O'Connor announced again, and then he rolled the dice very hastily. After confirming that he still failed, he looked at the two ladies at the table with his companions behind him with great interest.

Their "duel" will determine the direction of the story. Although the investigation is only halfway through, if "Miss Amethyst" wins, it means that the investigation can be carried out safely. The victory of the people from the [Light Worshipers Training Group] means that the [Supernatural Detective] also has to worry about such a head-on battle.

"The [Silent One] and the [Outlander Traveler] who met on a narrow road noticed each other at the same time. The [Silent One] recognized the traveler who had been investigating at the Parsifal Club, and the traveler also realized that the Ring Warlock in front of him was the eavesdropper just now. The successful stealth made [The Silent One] disappear from the sight of [The Foreign Traveler]. The chilling wind of the summer afternoon blew through the alley, and the quiet air with murderous intent seemed to freeze everything. The second battle round action--"

Although this action was equivalent to [Silent One] and Shade taking action at the same time, the woman in the black dress was the first to reveal the content of the action:

"The distance is close enough and within shooting range. Miss Amethyst, the biggest mistake you made was letting [Silent One] get close to your girl. [Silent One] used thaumaturgy - light magic!"

"What?"

"Adele's time stands still!"

Naturally, the witch at the top of the bell tower could not know the decision that Shad made in the distant alley. After all, the witch did not see the name of the thaumaturgy when he used [Praise the Sun]. The witch was surprised by the "weak" thaumaturgy chosen by the woman in the black dress, and even more surprised by the hoarse voice that added to this round of battle:

"Perform [Light Technique] resistance judgment. If the resistance to 'Abnormal Power - Light' reaches 1000, you will be immune to this attack. Otherwise, make a lucky judgment. If you succeed, you will be seriously injured. If you fail, you will die immediately."

"Wait, what kind of light spell is this?"

"Judgment paused! The bell rang and the gears stopped! [The Stranger] received an additional action round. This round of action is the exclusive action round of the [The Stranger], and the [Silent One] cannot make any resistance."

"What?"

Surprised, she turned into a woman in black skirt:

"Why is the extra action round time paused!? No, that Miss Charlotte, is it the twelfth or thirteenth ring?"

After playing the game for more than two hours, the calm woman finally stood up from the chair in shock. The equally surprised witch quickly gave her final instructions:

"Extra action round, [Outlander] uses punches determined by strength."

"So, goodbye!"

In the alley, Shade avoided the faint light that just appeared on the fingertips of the still stranger. He just observed the other person for a while, wondering why the other party needed such a high resistance and immunity to use [Light Technique]. At the same time, he had already bypassed the opponent. Go behind the other party.

Instead of taking action after removing the miraculous operation of stopping time, he stretched out his hand and punched the man in the back who had not spoken any words from the beginning. The fist did not pass through the chest, and while the sound of the witch's clanging and throwing dice could be heard in his ears, [The Silent One]'s heart and other internal organs had been shattered inside the body.

When the corpse fell to the ground, the faint light emerging from the hands of [The Silent One] also disappeared. Confused, Shade knelt down to check the body. At the top of the bell tower, as the announcement of "[The Silent One] failed in physical confrontation and the character died" came out, the woman in the black dress covered her chest and groaned, and then she died. He fell bleeding on the table.

The man behind her wanted to help her. Although she didn't know what the situation was, the witch did win. At this moment, she calmly smiled and said:

"The number of extra combat actions is over, and time is flowing again. In the third round of the third round, due to the death of the enemy, while [Silent One] used the light spell, I chose to let [The Stranger] jump to a higher room. Go ahead and read the note you just got from the coroner."

Because we just entered the battle directly, the clue has not been read yet. Although "jumping to a high roof" takes a different time than the instantaneous thaumaturgy, because it is the same action, the witch smiled happily and at the same time had more thoughts about other people's followers. Feedback of information came quickly.
