Whispering Verse

The size of the stone slab of the "Book of Unknown Sacrifice" is similar to that of the "Yager Scroll" which records the mysteries of death and the "Whorl Text" which records the history of the First Age. There are huge sun pattern emblems on both sides. But unlike ordinary sun patterns, there is a smiling face in the center of the sun pattern here. This is not funny, but makes the stone slab look more primitive and original.

There is text on one side. The text is directly below the sun pattern, as if someone had casually carved it with a sharp object. The meaning is probably——

【May the sun never set. 】

Because the "Unknown Book of Sacrifice" is also an item from the First Age, it naturally triggered Shade's magic [Voice of the Ancients]. This time the information is related to the sun:

[People of the First Age believed that the sun was one of the incarnations of the god [Supreme Sunbinder]. On the day when the daylight hours are longest every summer, if you perform prayers to worship the sun, you have a chance to directly receive the attention of the gods. The ancient sun god and the sage of the Silver Moon are twin sisters, and the two are hostile to the Creator of Twilight. Those who believe in the sublime sun can also borrow the power of the silver moon. 】

"Huh? The ancient god who represents the sun is a female figure? Moreover, he and the Silver Moon Sage are twin gods?"

Foreigners who are familiar with many mythological systems are confused at first, but later feel that this is reasonable. However, there were also conflicts among the original thirteen ancient gods, which was the first time Shade had heard of it.

And if according to what is known so far, the power of all the good gods, old gods and evil gods all come from the thirteen ancient gods who have left, then the twin gods may

"wrong!"

Shade responded quickly:

"The twin gods who helped Grace and Helen are essentially two persons in one body. They are not like the sun and the moon, but are similar to the two-headed statue of the ancient god of space [Primary Crack]. The old god [Twin Gods] The power actually comes from the ancient gods in space, and Grace and Helen should actually look for the old gods who inherited the twin powers of the sun and the moon. Yes, they did find the right god, but that Not the best choice!”

But bigger doubts arise:

"The Righteous God [God of the Sun and Earth], the Old Man with the Lamp, inherited the power of the sun. Iluna told me about the teachings of the Church of the Sun, but there was no description of twins in it. Could it be that the ancient god had something to do with twins? His authority has not been inherited by any god. Speaking of which, who has inherited the power of the Ancient Moon God?"

Shade, who was holding Mia in his arms, thought that although the information given in "The Voice of the Ancients" was short, it was more useful than the information given in the first two books. In order to completely solve the problem of Lecia and Dorothy, it seems that we still need to find the old gods who inherited the sun and moon. Of course, since I can't find it now, I can just rely on Hongdie's power first.

Although there was a lot to think about, it was actually just a few seconds in a daze.

Shade handed the slate in his hand to Miss Samuel for inspection. The latter looked through it and handed it back to Shade. The book wasn't opened and the tablet itself didn't mean much at all. Real knowledge is not allowed to be obtained by those who are far away from the First Age.

"There is a very critical question now."

Shade sat by the campfire and did not immediately open the door of the shrine. He looked across the bonfire at the dark night with red snow falling outside. This scene was more terrifying than any celestial phenomenon he had ever seen:

"Miss Samuel, after using this stone slab in exchange for the third wish, you have to make a wish to God and let God help you leave. But now Miss Olanold and Miss Fiona Drago are both deep. In a comatose state, you are alone, is there any way to take them both out?"

"You mean, that god won't send us directly outside?"

Miss Samuel asked worriedly.

"Judging from the performance of the first two wishes, the god does not encourage us to choose wishes that deviate from knowledge and libraries. Maybe He can directly teleport you outside the Valley of Death, but maybe it will only open up a temporarily safe road. "

Shade said, and the witch shook her head slightly:

"My current state has not fully recovered. Without the [Silent Moonlight] you gave Brienne, my state will get worse and worse. However, if I rest for a while and my physical strength recovers, there may be a way to lead them through the gods. The path was opened to leave. Someone was out to meet us and I only had to walk a short distance."

"There is no time to rest. The task I received is to witness the destruction of the Library of Gaddis. I think once we hand over the third book to the great one, the library will collapse immediately, and you guys are afraid Need to leave immediately.”

Miss Samuel thought for a while and gave a disappointing answer:

"With the snowy weather outside, I can't leave even if I don't take them two with me."

This makes the situation a bit worse. Shade gave up asking the gods for the secret of time, but the witches were still in trouble. But now, they can only meet the gods for the time being. Maybe their worries are unnecessary. The old man holding the staff is willing to directly send the witch and her party away from the Valley of Death.

"Of course this won't work. This is just an incarnation left in the shrine. I can fulfill most of my book-related wishes, but other things cannot be done."

The sage in gray robe is sitting on a pile of old books, holding a staff in his left hand and a pipe in his right hand:

"And you are right. Once you hand over the "Unknown Book of Sacrifice" to me, then there will be no need for this library to exist. This place should have been destroyed, and it can only be preserved because it contains the knowledge of the First Age. Until now. Now that the mission is completed, there is no need for its existence."

"Then can your wisdom guide them out of here?"

Gu Kui

Shade asked again, and the guardian of the library nodded:

"One wish can only save one person. I suggest that you heal the descendant of the longleaf elf and return her to her best condition. After your story is over, give her the scepter in my hand to partially realize her second wish. A wish. With this scepter, even if they don't make a wish to open the way to leave, there is still a high probability that the two of them will be able to leave alive."

This does sound like a good idea, and the old sage's scepter entering the hands of Miss Olanold is also consistent with what Shade learned in the Sixth Age:

"Two people leave? What about Miss Fiona Drago?"

Shade pointed to the ice coffin beside the wall. The red-haired girl was still sleeping there with her big tail wrapped around her waist:

"We can't leave her here alone."

The god took a drag on his pipe and suggested:

"They could try to take her away, but that would lower the chances of survival for all three of them."

"Wait a minute, you definitely know what will happen. For you, there is no probability, only necessity."

The old sage smiled and shook his head:

"You can use the last wish to ask about the probability of survival of the three of you. But if you ask this question, there will be no additional wish to restore the health of the witch with the blood of the longleaf elf."

From the perspective of the Sixth Era, in the present when St. Byrons has not yet been established, Miss Olanold and Miss Fiona Drago will definitely not die easily. But what Shade can see is only the result of history, he cannot see the process, so he absolutely dare not let the witches take risks just because he knows they will not die here.

Regardless of the future results, just based on the current situation, the best thing to do at this time is to use the last wish to awaken Miss Olanode, and let the thirteenth-level witch hold the artifact and leave with Miss Samuel. Although the Red Dragon Witch was sacrificed in this way, it at least ensured the safety of the other two people.

Shade didn't know what Miss Samuel was thinking, but he certainly couldn't give up on anyone here.

"We must find a way to awaken Fiona Drago outside of her wish. After she wakes up, she will be followed by Miss Olanold holding the artifact, so that she can have a chance of survival."

Thinking in his mind, Shade looked at Miss Samuel again:

"What do you think?"

"As long as the three of us don't leave together in the end, as the only one who is awake now, I will definitely be blamed by Miss Feliana and the academy. So in order not to take responsibility, I will not express any opinions now, and it is up to you to choose."

Miss Samuel said very sensibly.

Shade hugged the cat and nodded, feeling little Mia squirming on his chest.

With his current strength and Miss Samuel's strength, he will definitely not be able to awaken the witch with red dragon blood. But the power that has not yet been obtained, the power from the fairy tales of my hometown, has this possibility.

[The Little Match Girl] allows Shade to truly possess the secret lock that can fulfill four wishes. If [Sleeping Beauty] can allow Shade to wake up the sleeping girl with a kiss, then the current problem will be solved.

But the problem is that Shade is not sure that he will be able to obtain the secret lock after the story is told.

"The little match girl and the kiss from the tree both appeared under my strong emotions. The former is out of pity for the girl, and the latter is the courage to ignite the light when surrounded by darkness."

Shade is not someone who is not good at summing up experience, but the high-level magic technique of Mystic Lock is not something that a low-level warlock like him should get involved in.

"I probably understand, I still have to give it a try. However, I remember Miss Daniste mentioned that Miss Drago, the second principal of the school, also has the [Sleeping Princess] spirit rune, so that's the case."

With a countermeasure in mind, Shade said to the old sage in gray robe:

"Please restore Miss Brienne O'Lanold to health. This is our third wish."

"No problem, it's easy."

The gray-robed god smiled, reached into the air beside him, and took out a green-covered book. Holding the book and waving it gently, he looked at Miss Olanold again. Her eyelashes trembled for a moment, and then she opened her eyes.

Shade and Miss Samuel both breathed a sigh of relief.
