Whispering Verse

Hearing what the priest said, Shade laughed and breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's [prejudice] that has had an impact on you. You said that the influence of the relics cannot be stopped. Don't care so much, haven't you realized the problem now? I have been helping you collect those bones, and I have also been supervising you. It means using that power correctly, and now it seems that my mission has been completed quite well."

The old priest sighed again:

"You don't appear to be affected by [prejudice]."

"Who said it wasn't affected? If it really had no impact on me, I think I would have used a softer approach to stop this while I was in the city, instead of letting us go outside the city to fight each other."

Shade didn't feel proud at all when he beat the old priest of the fourth ring at the seventh-ring level, and both sides had reached the point, so there was no need to mention this matter again:

"It's good that you're fine now. Pay attention to this issue in the future and avoid contact with such relics that can subtly affect your psychology. You are probably most afraid of this now."

The priest nodded and said nothing more. So Shade turned to look at Vincent Taylor, who was still unconscious, and shook his head with some regret:

"My friend Miss Bayas who works in the church happened to be on a business trip, so I couldn't leave this guy to her. Now everyone in the Jasmine Opera Company knows that it was the two of us who took him away. It is not easy to throw him to the church in a reasonable way."

"Leave it to me. I also have a trustworthy ring warlock friend in the Church of Dawn. Let him hand Taylor over to the church."

The priest bent down, took out a bottle of bark-colored potion from his arms and fed it to the other party:

"The amnesia potion has the same effect as being severely drunk after drinking it. He will forget some things. There is no need to worry about him telling us about our affairs. But the church's method of dealing with him is probably to execute him."

"How the church handles this dangerous world has nothing to do with us. We just do what we can do."

Shade bent down and lifted him up, then put him on his shoulders:

"Let's go back now. We still have time to have lunch together. We have a meeting with the doctor in the afternoon. Speaking of which, the doctor and I are planning to do something big tomorrow, so the meeting this afternoon may not be very long."

Priest August nodded and did not ask the two of them what they were going to do. They then left the clearing in the forest side by side, and the priest suddenly said:

"Detective, maybe compared to me, compared to the original angel, you are the most suitable to guide people to death."

"Priest, please spare me. Am I not busy enough now?"

"Detective, do you really have no prejudice against anyone in your heart?"

He obviously did not believe what Sha De said just now. He really believed that Sha De was not affected by [prejudice] in any way.

The two figures gradually moved away, and Shade smiled and answered the priest's question:

"You know my life experience. I have only known this world for less than a year since I woke up last summer, and I have mastered such a powerful power. You know what I have done. Put it this way, I must be in my heart There is prejudice, and I am equally prejudiced against everyone in this world, and I am quite equal and laugh at everyone except me in my heart.”

The wind blew withered yellow leaves and flew behind them, and thick steam mist was gathering. Although the bells and whistles sounded, it did not make Shade's voice unclear, and the priest also understood what Shade meant.

"Priest, look, if I already have [prejudice] against everyone, what effect will more [prejudice] have on me?"

[Outlander, you have sensed the “whispering” and you are aware of the “prejudice”. 】

A huge brass ring appeared in the sparse sunlight in the forest, and the rapidly rotating life ring was enriched with black iron-colored aura. This was the third time Shade had been reminded about "prejudice" in Tobesk (note), and everything fell into place.

[The development of civilization is accompanied by prejudice, and the nature of intelligent creatures cannot stay away from prejudice. If the prejudices of people's hearts are like a big mountain, as a foreigner, the world in your eyes is the highest mountain. Laugh at it, hate it, be disgusted with it, complain about it, it doesn't matter, I whisper in your ear, and I witness with you, this world at sunset and dusk. 】

"This is really a story about prejudice."

[Outlander, you listened to your inner voice, you learned the whisper of "prejudice". 】

Above the life ring, the black iron-colored aura finally gathered in one place. [Desire] guided Shade to come here just for this:

[Outlander, you have engraved the Black Iron Whispering Spirit Rune - Prejudice. Your Chain of Sin has been strengthened. 】

[Gluttony], [Greed], [Sloth], [Anger], [Apathy], [Pride], and [Prejudice], the seven spiritual runes faintly resonate on the life ring, and are all enhanced by each other's presence. "Prejudice" itself is Shade's "original sin", so there is no need to hold a ceremony to add new runes to the [Chain of Sins].

The figures of Shade and Priest Augustus just disappeared. Blasphemy - Dragon, Enlightenment - Flesh, Whisper - Red Butterfly, Whisper - Prejudice. After Shade was promoted to the eighth ring, he still lacked the sublimation language spirit runes and the golden "miracle". Spirit runes.

After returning to the city, the priest went to deal with Vincent Taylor, while Shade went home first and took out little Mia. The two met at the entrance of Dawn Church at around 11:30, and then went to a nearby restaurant for lunch together, and then went to Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic together.

Since they had plenty of time, they walked through the city on foot. Since the incident at Green Lake ended, although Shade had talked to the priest several times, they had never had such a detailed discussion. Along the way, they talked about their recent affairs and the troubles they had encountered recently.

The priest talked about the Feast of Holy Prayer, and Shade talked about his adventures in Moon Bay.

Because I had calculated the time correctly, I arrived at the doctor at just the right time. Luvia also arrived at about the same time, and she also asked for leave for Dorothy:

"Dorothy went to the countryside to collect information, or you can also understand that she went to help Shade do something. She will probably be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it will not delay the exam next Sunday."

"Just remember the exam."

Dr. Schneider nodded and said nothing more. He also knew that Shade was doing something very important.

As expected, the group study meeting today was not long. The most important thing was that the doctor informed a few people that the meeting next Saturday would be suspended and that they would go directly to Xia De's place on Sunday morning to prepare for the exam.

Before the brief study meeting ended, Priest August also unexpectedly announced something:

"After the Feast of Holy Prayer and exams at the end of the month, I want to go out for a walk."

"Huh? Why? Do you have something to deal with out of town?"

The doctor asked in confusion, and Luvia and Shade didn't understand what the priest meant.

Priest August wiped his pipe and said in a slow voice:

"In the morning, Shade and I encountered something together. No, it has been solved and I don't need your help.

I just suddenly realized that I still had some mental problems. I want to go out for a walk by myself and see the stories of other places. I won't be gone for a particularly long time, so you don't have to worry about me. "

Only then did Shade understand what the priest was thinking, and the doctor asked again:

"So, where are you going?"

The priest raised his head and glanced at Shade:

"Moon Bay is where Shade is venturing now. I won't meet Shade. I just want to take a look at the city full of wealth and sin, and see the living things that I may have overlooked. People’s lives, stories that can rekindle the warmth of my soul.”

Dr. Schneider looked at Shade, who said he didn't care. Luvia didn't seem to want to comment on the matter, so the doctor had to cough:

"Well, although I don't know what you encountered, it seems that there are still some problems with my treatment. Priest, is it easy to ask for leave at the church? Also, when do you plan to leave? We will go to the train station to see you off. "

"You don't have to worry about asking for leave. An old priest of my age can ask for leave whenever he wants. You don't have to see me off. On the day I leave, I will carry my luggage and leave quietly. I'll wait until you meet again. By the time I got there, I was back to normal.”

Seeing that the expressions of the other three people were a little unhappy, he smiled and comforted:

"There's no need to be sad. I'm just going somewhere to relax. I'll be back in a month at most. I might even meet our detective in Moon Bay. And even if I have to leave, it won't be until next Sunday. Louisa isn't here now. , it’s not the time to say goodbye. When the exam is over, it won’t be too late for you to say goodbye to me with a sad face.”

Now that Priest Augustus had made his decision to go to Yuewan City to relax, it was useless no matter who tried to persuade him. He had made up his mind to go, and Schade and Dr. Schneider had considered it, and thought it would be a good idea to let the priest go out of town to relieve himself from the pressure of the Feast of Holy Prayer and the week of examinations.

The doctor's concern was that Priest August chose Yuewan. Although the devil's matter had been solved by the time the priest arrived at Yuewan, he knew that Shad's matter would definitely not be solved yet.

After the day's study meeting, the priest and Luvia left first, while Shade stayed to discuss the priest's affairs with the doctor. Of course, the most important thing is for the two of them to discuss tomorrow's arrangements. In fact, the doctor had already obtained the relic that allowed him to jump in space from Old John at noon today, but considering that it was not suitable for action at night, he postponed the action until tomorrow morning:

"Look, this is it."

PS: The first two times are Chapter 2117 and Chapter 2169 respectively, which correspond to solving the relics twice.
