Whispering Verse

After a good night's sleep, it was Tuesday. Early that morning, Shade appeared at Margaret Manor.

Because he arrived a little early, Margaret was even having breakfast with Miss Sylvia, so she called Shade and little Mia to have another meal.

Margaret seems to have a special fondness for sweets, and the dessert after a meal tastes even more delicious than the main meal. After hearing what Shade said about Carmen Eddington, she nodded in agreement:

"The invitation is easy to talk about, so you will also come to the banquet on Friday, right?"

"certainly."

Shade touched little Mia:

"I have a hunch that this is probably the last grand banquet we can attend before the Moon Bay incident ends. I hope we have a good time then."

"Judging from the current weather, it's obviously summer, but I'm afraid we won't be able to open the outdoor activity area for banquets."

Miss Sylvia looked out the window:

"Bella and Luvia, have you ever said when this fog will clear?"

She regarded the two female fortune tellers as "weather forecasters", but in fact predicting the weather is indeed the specialty of prophets.

"They said that the fog is not only coming from the 'edge of life and death', but also contains other components. The results have not yet been analyzed."

Margaret immediately sighed and said:

"In just a few days, the No. 3 Mental Hospital of Yuewan City and the 'Flower of Yuewan Sanatorium' have been filled with people. It seems that lunatics are everywhere in the city. If it weren't for this fog, things would be even worse. I'm afraid The whole city is already in turmoil. Fortunately, these lights are significantly weakened after being filtered by the thick fog, and the skin diseases caused can be slowly cured by applying a medicine with No. 4 holy water. "

"Okay, okay, I didn't come here to cause you trouble early in the morning."

Shade interrupted Her Royal Highness the Princess' worries:

"Today is Tuesday, and this week has just begun. Margaret, besides the banquet on Friday, what are you going to do these days? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Shad, my knight, you are busy enough.

Most of my time in Yuewan was spent on socializing, countless meetings, conversations, and visits. I was used to this. I really don’t know how my father adapted to this kind of life. "

She put down her knife and fork gracefully and looked at Shade:

"When we were in Green Lake this year, I heard Princess Lesia say that you liked watching operas with her?"

Shade raised his eyebrows and almost asked, "What kind of opera are you talking about?":

"Yes."

"So, do you have anything to do tonight? If nothing, can you go to the Eddington Opera House with me to watch the opera? If you have something to do, forget it. There will be time in the future anyway."

Although she said this, even Miss Sylvia on the side laughed:

"Shade, just go with her. You don't know how much pressure Margaret is under during this time. If she hadn't been a magician and a witch's apprentice, and had a way to use secret techniques to recuperate her body, I don't think she would even have her menstrual cycle. It’s all going to be messed up.”

The blonde princess was already blushing.

Although he had an appointment to watch the opera with Margaret tonight, Shade did not waste his time during the day.

Now that the identity of the chosen one is basically confirmed, the most important thing in his hand is to decide who he wants to support to become the chosen one.

"After 'helping' Mrs. Jude and talking to Mr. Albert in the barn that night, I inexplicably felt the 'guidance' again. And Miss Rice said that the vampire who died ten years ago had [ Blood Sorrow] The scars are all accurate to scalpel level and avoid the fatal position. The sword must be in the hands of Mr. Ptolemy Albert."

After leaving the back door of Margaret Manor, Shade also looked towards the direction of Spider Alley:

"From the beginning, Mr. Bernhardt had suspected that the sword was in the hands of his good friend. It seems that Mr. Bernhardt must have noticed something."

He sighed, but did not go to Spider Alley immediately, but returned to Belindel Manor first.

By coincidence, when Shade went back, he happened to bump into Iluna also visiting the manor.

She still carried [Pale Justice] with her. When she and Shade entered the manor and bumped into Emilia and Agelina, she handed the sword to the elf girl:

"Take it first and try to see if you can comprehend anything. Shade said that your cold weapon fighting talent is not very good, but you also learned a set of Elf Sword Dance in the Elf Ruins. Maybe this sword inherits those Sword pose can help you.”

Iluna also knew that Emilia was kind-hearted, so she dared to hand this angel-level relic into her hands.

The elf girl looked flattered. Compared to the "Balanced Chosen One" Iluna, who was "used to the world", this was one of the few angel-level relics she had come into contact with.

With the little unicorn by their side, Shade was not worried about the impact of this relic, so he and Iluna went to the study room of the manor, and Luvia was already sitting there.

No one else came to disturb the meeting between the three of them. After Shade sat down, he arranged the six coins he brought from home on the table:

"[Pirate's Blood Money], [Thunder God's Wrath], [King's Egg], two [Coins of Wisdom], [Dragon Blood Money]. The quantity is sufficient and there are many types. As things have developed so far, I think There’s no need to save.”

Luvia nodded, but instead of rushing to divination, she asked Iluna:

"How do you feel about your time in Yuewan? What have you been busy with recently?"

The eighteen-year-old girl held the teacup and sipped the black tea:

"Moon Bay has become the seventh 'Place of Destiny', and the number of relics inside and outside the city is increasing. Moreover, I have to regularly go outside the city or offshore islands to work with the church team to eliminate the artifacts set up by the [Dragon Feast Order]. Those dragon nests that hatch dragon beasts, no one knows how they created so many nests."

After a pause, he added:

"But the subsidy for business trips to Yuewan is really very high."

Shade and Luvia both laughed, and Shade continued to ask:

"Is there any new news from the church?"

"Yes, in the process of tracking down those cultists, the church has found clear evidence to prove that they want to summon gods. Well, everyone actually knows this."

She shook her head, put down the tea cup and looked at the snacks on the table, but considering her figure, she did not go to get them:

"Yesterday's operation was quite fruitful. After killing a high priest of the [Dragon Eater Order] during the arrest, before his soul disappeared, the church's psychic troops learned that the place where the god was called was. The ancient 'Dragon Food Sacrifice'."

"Xia De said that it seems that none of the five righteous churches can call upon the gods this time."

Luvia said again, and Iluna looked at Shade in surprise:

"Yes, does Shade even know this? So the church is under great pressure this time, especially after the incident with the Church of Dawn. I wonder if those witches have told Shade that the church wants to talk to you. .

The fact that the righteous gods are temporarily unable to come to the material world is currently a top secret among the top secrets. In our era, apart from the five righteous gods, the only remaining gods from the non-evil god camp are probably the ancient man behind the 'God Caller'. Luna. "

In fact, Iluna very much doubted that the so-called "ancient moon god" was Shade himself. After all, she and Luvia had never seen Shade praying devoutly to a certain god, and Shade had no holy emblems, statues, or religious books on him. . Sometimes they even feel that Shade is like a "distrustful person". Of course, they will not mention this matter unless Shade himself says it.

"Hasn't the church thought about contacting other believers of the evil god? As far as I know, the god who swallowed the dragon has many enemies."

Shade asked again curiously, and Iluna immediately shook her head:

"Being hostile to cultists is one of the purposes of the Five Gods Church. If limited cooperation with cultists will only shake the faith of some people, then calling on evil gods to help the Five Gods Church will probably directly cause the sect to collapse. Help people get rid of the cult. The influence and defeat of the cult's conspiracy are one of the foundations of the existence of the Five Gods Church.

Moreover, as far as I know, the other gods of this era do not have a good relationship with us either. Even if we do take the risk and ask for help, we will get little result. "

"So Shade, do you plan to communicate with the church?"

The girl with purple eyes asked curiously, but Shade refused without thinking:

"I am only in the seventh ring now, and I will not have any form of contact with the church. The most I can do is let the witches or Iluna bring a message, saying that the 'God Caller' is ready at any time. Of course, this time The situation is indeed serious.”

Seeing the sadness on Shade's face, and thinking of the results of the divination with the witch last night, Luvia's heart skipped a beat.

But before she spoke, Iluna said easily:

"That's fine. I don't agree with Shade directly contacting the church at this stage, at least after the twelfth ring. Well, almost next year."

As he spoke, he laughed, and Shade did not forget to tell Iluna the good news:

"The latest time key has ended, and I successfully obtained an Enlightenment Spirit Rune. Now I only need the Ascension Word Spirit Rune and Miracle. Even according to the slowest scenario, I will wait until the chosen one of light appears. You can also get miracle-guidance.”

"We were never worried about your situation."

The eighteen-year-old girl smiled broadly, and then looked at the coins on the table:

"Before divination, can I make a small request? Recently I am learning a thaumaturgy related to thunder, which may be able to enhance my [Sunshine Gun]. Can you lend me this 'Thunder God's Wrath' temporarily?" ?”

"sure."

Feeling that she had missed the topic, Luvia couldn't bring up things like "God War" anymore. She reached out and handed the coin to Iluna:

"There are five left, which is enough. Shade, it's up to you to decide what to divination."
