Whispering Verse

"But if this kind of thing really happens one after another, I'm afraid it will really become the norm not to light up lights at night. But what about during the day?"

Shade asked again. Although both incidents occurred at night, there is currently no evidence to prove that the photomelting phenomenon really only occurs at night.

"That is what the church has to worry about. Oh, do you want to go with me to the scene last night? The traces left last night were much more conspicuous than Thursday night. I think you will be interested."

The crime occurred at the exit of an alley connecting the street. The street lights at the entrance of the street could just illuminate part of the alley. It was these lights that caused last night's tragedy.

Of course, that place has now been sealed off by the church, and ordinary people are not allowed to observe or enter or exit, but for Miss Belindel, who is not good at fighting but is very good at other means, these are not problems.

After confirming that the local Thirteenth Ring Warlock "Glory Hand" Joshua Brooklyn was not here, the witch took Shade directly past the blockade and walked in.

The earth wall created by the Ring Warlock directly blocked the entrance of the alley. Behind the earth wall, Shade saw an area with extremely strong white light even in the daytime, as well as a black shadow imprinted on the side wall of the alley. .

It is not the space itself that is glowing, but entities such as the soil, the walls of the alleys, the wanted posters on the walls, the garbage on the ground, etc. that are glowing. And that black shadow is the last trace left by the unlucky guy who "melted into the light" last night.

When Shade and the Witch approached, the ring warlocks from [Church of Dawn] were conducting experiments, that is, throwing a white mouse into the glowing area.

After the mouse walked in, he was a little nervous at first because of the abnormal light, but it didn't look any different on the outside. But soon, people watching the scene noticed that the hair of the white mouse showed an extremely slight tendency to become transparent. But this phenomenon progressed very slowly, and when the white mouse was pulled out of the area, although this extremely mild "actinic" phenomenon could not be reversed, it no longer spread.

Shade and the countess did not stay where they were to discuss it. They returned to the manor and walked side by side on the path in the courtyard before speaking.

"This situation is indeed more serious than the one on Thursday night. I didn't expect that the remaining light penetrated directly into space and matter. It was just that the time was too short. It is not clear whether this pollution can be eliminated."

Shade said, and then thought of his "Lighting Technique". After he casts the light spell, moonlight will remain on nearby entities, but the light will only remain for more than ten minutes at most, and it cannot be captured by the naked eye.

"I have studied the disaster situations in the areas where the chosen ones appeared in the past. According to the rules, the situation that appeared at the beginning should not be so serious. This is more like the state of the situation in the middle and later stages."

As the countess spoke, she turned over the fortune-telling cards handed over by the maid behind her:

"And now it's time for the chosen one to appear, but the disaster of out-of-control light has just been revealed. This is not right, the disaster should have happened earlier than the appearance of the chosen one. It seems like someone suppressed this person in advance. The disaster that was supposed to break out in the early stages has only become apparent now that it cannot be suppressed."

"It's the [Light Worshipers Training Group], right? Wasn't the light they once used just out-of-control light?"

Shade mentioned this matter, and the witch subconsciously pressed her right shoulder, with an angry expression on her face:

"If this is really the case, on the good side, they have successfully avoided unnecessary casualties in the local area; but on the bad side, they have used this light to kill many innocent people in the local area, and the church cannot Make targeted arrangements based on early abnormalities.”

She put down her hand and continued to rinse the cards in her hand:

"What's even more frightening is that the ultimate goal that the [Light Worshipers Training Society] has always claimed is to transform all humans into light. They regard it as a way of evolution. Now that they have mastered such terrifying means, they only need to think There is no way to expand the range of the abnormal light and destroy a city easily."

Shade thought of the memory of Mr. Bernhardt before his death in the past life. He died in such a range attack. The scene before the death of the vampire seed lord was a city with arches, and now it seems that it may be the Moon Bay under his feet.

Shade didn't know this when he first came to the local area, but now he guesses that the arch bridge-style "Yuewan Bridge" will look like after it is completed. It should be the arch in that memory.

It's just that the things in my memory obviously happened in the more distant "future". After all, the bridge is still under construction. The timeline of the past life is different from that of this life, and many things have proven this.

Shade did not meet Miss Elisa this morning, and of course he had no way to take the initiative to see the girl. The Countess, who didn't know what Shade was doing in Moon Bay that morning, took the initiative to invite Shade to stay for lunch.

But this time Shade refused and had to go to Dr. Schneider's for a meeting in the afternoon. After returning home, he took little Mia to have a few bites before going to the doctor.

Since the doctor learned about the existence of the "Devil of Doom", Shade has never contacted him again, but it can be imagined that the doctor must be busy making that alchemical weapon these days. So that afternoon, Shade came to the Schneider Psychological Clinic in advance, and as expected, the doctor pulled him to introduce the current situation:

"The progress is pretty good. Thanks to the metals you provided, most of the difficult materials have been collected now. If the weather and stars cooperate in the past few days, I am sure to complete the weapon before next Thursday."

Although it is midsummer now, the daily temperature is actually that of autumn. But inside the clinic, the blue-eyed middle-aged psychiatrist only wore a white shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, looking very capable.

As he was talking, Shade also smelled a very obvious smell of pomegranate juice on the doctor. He thought it was also contaminated when making the alchemy weapon.

"Can you reveal the specific form of that weapon? Sword? Dagger? Bow and arrow? Bullets?"

"No, no, this is a weapon specially designed to target that demon. It is not a common weapon form. I am not sure what it will be shaped into in the end. You will know when the time comes."

Everyone was present at the afternoon meeting, and the doctor once again emphasized the summer exam at the end of the month. The exam time has been determined, which is the last Sunday of July in the month of Thunder. That is the 27th day of this month, and today is the 12th day of July.

"I know you all have things to be busy with. For example, Priest Augustus has to prepare for the Feast of Holy Prayer at Dawn Church, but please also pay attention to the exam review and submit the required course report to In the academy, don’t put everything into the exam week at the end of the year.”

Although the doctor mentioned the old priest when he gave an example, Shade always felt that he was looking at her.

Because everyone had a lot of things to do during the exam week, this meeting lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Both Priest August and Dorothy submitted a large number of final papers. Luvia was considering elective courses in the second half of this year, so she consulted the School of Astronomy in advance. Dr. Schneider requested a new thaumaturgy from the library and purchased some special materials.

But Shade, who knew the inside story, knew that the doctor's actual purpose was those special materials that were difficult to obtain, namely the "thousand-year living golden scarab" and the "sinful man's eyes (active)". Typically, these two material colleges are not sold separately.

Shade himself had nothing else to do this afternoon except submitting a report on time exploration. However, when the group meeting was about to end, Miss Denister sent a letter to Shade through the poem manuscript page on the doctor's side, asking him to meet at the college library at seven o'clock tonight.

Others only thought that Miss Danist wanted to talk to Shade about his recent study status. Even Luvia only thought that Miss Danist wanted to talk about the situation in Moon Bay. But Shade probably guessed that tonight's conversation should be related to the elf girl arriving at Moon Bay tomorrow.

The "night class" on Saturday night was taught by Dorothy, but because Shade had to see Miss Denister at seven o'clock, she did not rush to start the class after dinner, but went with Shade. I took my cat for a walk in Saint Teresa Square and waited until it was completely dark before returning home.

When Shade met Miss Denister in the college library at seven o'clock, the things she mentioned were indeed related to Emilia:

"Only the principal and I know about the devil now. After all, if I want to dispatch unicorns, I can't go around the principal."

She first told Shade about this matter, and Shade nodded to express his understanding:

"How do you plan to send the unicorn to Moon Bay? By sea? By land?"

"No, just to be on the safe side, use the [World Travel Manual] to send it directly. This relic cannot be used multiple times in a short period of time. Fortunately, it hasn't been used much this year. When will you be free tomorrow? After sending the photos, we will Just open the door here."

The librarian asked, and Shade thought for a moment:

"Tomorrow, nine o'clock in the morning. But where will Emilia and the unicorn be placed? I'll go there in advance to familiarize myself with the environment."

Upon hearing this question, Miss Denister blinked in confusion:

"Wait a minute, aren't you responsible for settling Miss Siam Nord and Unicorn yourself? The academy is only responsible for issuing tasks to separate the three of them. You also know that this matter cannot be known to too many people, so Yuewan No one knows about the devil except you."
