Whispering Verse

Of course, although the relics in the ruins cannot be taken away, there are still other trophies.

In addition to the Keeper-level magic eye [greedy silver], the silver-eyed person also has a relic. It was a pair of blood-stained iron scissors, probably an item collected to synthesize [Mercury Blood]. In fact, there should be more relics around him, but the three of them couldn't find them no matter how hard they searched. They finally guessed that they were absorbed by the tree that burned to ashes.

Two relics were also found on the vampire's mutilated body. One of them looks very familiar, [The Puppet Operator's Script], which has a total of five pages. The first two pages have been blacked out, and now there are three pages left that are unused. The other item is a fang, directly embedded in the vampire's mouth. If it weren't for the reminder of the woman in his heart, Shade might have missed it.

The four relics of the Silver-Eyed Man and the Vampire, plus the [God's Gift Box] and the mercury vial in the underground warehouse, a total of 6 relics were harvested from this adventure.

In addition to the relics, Shade himself was promoted to the second level, and he also obtained the spiritual rune - Whisper [Toy Maker], two magical arts [Toy Making] and [Moonlight Great Sword], as well as a drop of divinity. The harvest this time is really huge. .

Being with people like the Chosen who are entangled by fate is indeed very dangerous, but the rewards are also beyond ordinary. At least Shade has never gained so much from a risk.

This time he was well prepared and took a huge risk to become the enemy of a high-level warlock, but the reward was enough.

In addition to the above, the silver-eyed man and the vampire also had notebooks, letters and other things on them. These were also the trophies of the three Shads, and there was no reason to leave them to the church. It's just that the current environment is too dangerous, so we should wait until we get back to the ground to identify the relics and letters.

"But how are you going to get rid of these two bodies?"

Miss Anat was divining whether there would be any big danger when leaving, while Miss Bayas pointed to the two mutilated corpses on the ground. The silver-eyed man's body was something that Shade had promised to Miss Carina long ago, and the vampire himself was a member of the [Blood Spirit School]. Although the body was seriously damaged, maybe the witches had psychic means, so he planned to Also take it with you:

"You're not going to carry them away, are you?"

The young sorceress expressed disgust.

"Of course I'm not carrying them away. I still think they're disgusting. Look, I've just learned the art of thaumaturgy [toy making]."

As he spoke, Shade knelt down and played with the body so that the body was as tightly together as possible. Then he took off his coat and walked with him through the journey. The coat was also in tatters, but it was suitable as a casting material.

He shook the coat in his hand twice, then suddenly threw it upward. It stretched in the air, and after landing, completely covered the body of the silver-eyed man.

Shade picked up his coat. There was no corpse under the coat. Instead, there was a puppet that looked like the corpse of a silver-eyed man. The puppet was curled up in an extremely bad posture:

"look."

He picked up the doll, and Iluna looked at it very curiously:

"You can turn dead things into puppets?"

"Not only dead objects, but living objects can also be used, but you must trust me completely. In addition to puppets, you can also become puppets and pottery dolls, but they can only become toys. Depending on the actual volume, there is an upper limit to the volume that can be changed. For example This corpse can only be reduced to the size of two fingers. As for the trust level of living creatures... I have to experiment to know."

As he spoke, he used the coat in his hand to cover the vampire's disgusting corpse again, turning it into a puppet, and continued to introduce:

"But this thaumaturgy is ineffective against any relics, and has a poor effect on casting materials, otherwise it would be too convenient."

Shade said regretfully, looking at the mess of spellcasting materials scattered next to the vampire puppets:

"However, you can use this to identify [relics]. If you just throw a big canvas away and it doesn't turn into a toy, there will definitely be something wrong."

Because he had a map in his hand, Shade and the two girls easily found the darkroom where eighteen gold plates and religious texts were stored. There are also other things here, such as the notes of the Order's past ring wizards, as well as the Order's history. The three of them each selected a few books to take away, and Shade even took away all the information on [God's Gift Box].

Entering the ruins with trepidation, leaving the ruins is much easier. The compass guided them out of the maze; the repaired mirror had no effect on Shade in the second ring this time, and was kicked over by him; the giant god soldier known as the gargoyle was still dormant, and there was no need to offer his eyes a second time.

The three of them were in a good mood along the way, and when they lit the [Bodor Candle] that only had one minute left to use, and the three of them crawled out of the passage excavated by [Mercury Blood], they saw that there were still old people in the warehouse. It seemed that no one noticed anything unusual, which made them feel even better.

Taking away the mercury vial, burning the last candle, they left the printing house.

The night breeze of the city blew away the rustic and heat from the three of them. The moonlight and mist seemed particularly friendly to them who had been underground for several hours.

Without stopping, they kept moving forward until they were far away from the block where the printing plant was located, and they confirmed that the adventure was really over.

Standing in the alley, the shadows engulfed the three of them, but at close range and relying on the moonlight, they could all see each other's faces:

"Thank you for everything you did for me tonight."

Miss Bayas said, hugging the two of them respectively. She subconsciously reached out and touched the eyepatch on her left eye:

"I'm going to find the captain at the banquet and inform him about the second and third divine vessels. You will keep tonight's harvest and go to Shade's house tomorrow night to share it."

"no problem."

Shade and Miss Anat said that the reason why they did not follow her to the manor where a charity dinner was being held was because their identities were inappropriate. Moreover, the church has taken control of the overall situation. Even if there are additional containers for divine descent, as long as the banquet is destroyed, without the important ritual condition of "blood feast", divine descent is still impossible.

But she still couldn't let her guard down, so Iluna Beas wanted to rush over as soon as possible.

"See you tomorrow night, Miss Anat. See you tomorrow night, Shade."

She said softly, then stood on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face very naturally.

Blushing slightly, he took a step back and looked at Shade's blurry face in the shadow with a gentle smile:

"I don't mean anything else."

With that said, he turned around and hurried away along the alley.

Shade felt disappointed. This was the second time he was kissed tonight. Miss Anat on the side smiled and patted him. The female fortune teller was in a good mood now:

"What are you thinking about? It's time for us to go back and rest."

Although the angel healed everyone's pain except the left eye, the fatigue in my heart still exists:

"Okay, see you tomorrow night. But these six relics..."

He said in embarrassment that relics whose specific storage conditions were unknown were more dangerous than steam bombs.

"The [God's Gift Box] is yours, take it away yourself. The two magic eyes [greedy silver], when not installed in the human body, are in regular contact with silver powder. You will keep this for me." The Puppet Operator's Script] You should take it first, after all, you are the only one who has ever touched this thing."

The female fortune teller said, thinking about it:

"There are three remaining relics whose names and uses are unknown. I will keep them temporarily. After helping Iluna Bayas, you can understand that I completed an important fate node, so my divination ability has also improved."

She pointed to her purple eyes:

"After I go back, I will try my best to divine information about the other three items. Although it may be useless, at least I can know the containment conditions."

"Okay, but you have to be careful."

Shade said worriedly.

"You have to be careful. I only need a ritual to be promoted to the fourth ring, and you only have two rings, but you are holding so many dangerous items."

In the darkness, the purple eyes that were looking at Shade seemed to be glowing.

She suddenly approached Shade, and the two looked at each other closely. The woman asked in a low voice:

"Before we leave, could you satisfy my curiosity and answer a question?"

"Excuse me."

Shade was already prepared to be asked about the secret. They had just seen the mysterious lock, and they must have understood that the fish-man incident not long ago was related to him.

But Shade guessed wrong.

"Which one do you prefer, my kiss or Iluna's kiss?"

"Her" chuckle could be heard in his ears, but her purple eyes, which were really close at hand, seemed to be deeply imprinted into Shade's heart. Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him smiling and smiling, for some reason, Shade felt as if his heart stopped beating for a moment:

"That's what you want to ask?"

He said quietly.

"Yes, you must answer."

The girl with short brown hair smiled brightly.

"Um......"

He thought for a while, and although he blushed a little, he still told the truth:

"Actually, I don't have much experience. After all, the time is too short."

The purple-eyed girl smiled and shook her head, her short shawl hair swaying with the movement of her head. She did not mention this topic again, her eyes were still smiling, and her tone changed slightly:

"Shad, are you willing to accompany me to witness the remaining twelve chosen ones just like this adventure?"

"Of course, I said that underground."

This answer comes without thinking. Although this kind of risk is dangerous, it is indeed necessary. He still lacks 10 drops of divinity. It would be great if every future adventure with the Chosen One goes as smoothly as tonight.

"Then from tonight, the fate of the three of us will be truly tied together. I hope we can keep going."

The smile on Luvia Anat's face was unexpectedly sad. She didn't say anything more. After softly saying good night to Shade, she turned and left the alley.

Shade stood there, watching her back disappear into the thick fog of the night, and then walked out of the alley with the cold gift box in his arms.

"Luvia Anat, what exactly has she been through?"

he thought to himself.

【Everyone has his own story. 】

"Yes."

He thought again of the two ghosts in the cemetery:

"I also have my own story, as long as I don't regret it..."

Standing at the alleyway and taking a deep breath, the smell of burning exhaust gas poured into my lungs, and at the same time there was the unique warm feeling of summer nights:

"Anyway, the night is finally over."
