Whispering Verse

"Shad, how are you feeling now?"

Half an hour later, Luvia, who received Tifa's message and knew that Shade was awake, came to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square from Silver Cross Avenue.

"It's good. I wasn't injured and I even feel stronger."

The maid had already left at this time, and Shade took Mia to greet her downstairs. The weather is not bad today. In the late autumn morning, St. Teresa Square is crowded with people. When you open the door, you can see the bustling city street scene.

"Whether you are injured or not, we need to check to determine. However, your expression is very strange."

The purple-eyed girl said doubtfully.

Shade turned sideways and made way for Luvia to enter. When the latter passed by Shade, she slightly shrugged her nose:

"I see. Detective, having an affair with someone else's maid is not the way to be a gentleman."

She smelled the perfume that most people couldn't detect, but had a very special smell.

"I'm not with Tifa"

A slender finger wiped Shade's face, and he immediately stopped speaking.

"Of course I know you didn't go to bed, but I bet, Shade, you must be dishonest."

She walked in the door with a smile. After all, this was not the first time she discovered the intrigue between Shade and the maid:

"It's not that I mind this. Having a good relationship with the big witch will also help us. Miss Servit is indeed very charming, even from a female perspective. I'm just curious, what exactly did you do?"

Shade hesitated for a moment, took her hat and put it on the shoe cabinet::

"Well I just had breakfast."

"breakfast?"

Luvia said suspiciously, so Shade came to her ear in the hall and whispered a few words.

The girl with purple eyes frowned slightly at first:

"Wait a minute, don't omit so many words and replace them with vague sounds. How do I know?"

Then he realized something, his cheeks turned red, and he whispered softly:

"There's just something different about a trained maid, so bold."

Pushing Shade away slightly, she looked at him with purple eyes:

"Although my figure is not as good as hers, damn it, I actually admitted it, but we can try it in the future. Shade, you worked really hard this time, welcome back."

After kissing the side of Shade's face, the two went to the third floor. Of course, Luvia was first concerned about Shade's physical condition. After repeatedly confirming that he was in good health, she talked about Fort Midhill.

Joey Barton had his say on Wednesday night about the Chosen Ones in Dead Waters. Of course, the version he was talking about was the modified version of Shade and everyone sitting around a campfire. When facing Luvia, Shade certainly wouldn't lie and told a complete story about what happened that night in death.

Luvia listened quietly. At first she sat opposite Shade, then sat next to Shade, and finally held Shade's hand:

"Even if your friends can help you, is it too risky this time? Fighting against powerful enemies before was risky, but at least there were others around you every time. This time, you go alone Fight Joey Patton and you win, but don’t do it again.”

She said very worriedly, but Shade didn't feel that this was a risky behavior. He had thought of everything before stepping into the water:

"Don't worry, Luvia, I cherish my life more than anyone else. Look, not only did I come back successfully, but I also became a fourth-ringed sorcerer. Now, you, Iluna and I are all fourth-ringed."

Shade slept all day, and the news of Fort Midhill spread like snowflakes from that city to the entire material world.

Because she was busy eating breakfast this morning, Tifa only gave a very simple message, while Luvia received more detailed information from the Prophet Association.

For example, the heavy fog at Fort Midhill did not dissipate immediately after the decisive battle in the early hours of Thursday morning, and it still exists even today on Friday morning. This is a sequelae, and the church is actively working to solve it. .

There are currently no exact figures for the casualties of ordinary citizens in Fort Midhill, but the casualties of the Ring Warlocks of the Church of the Righteous God and the Royal Army of Delarian have been counted.

Even though the church's plan this time was very complete and the unexpected appearance of the gods made what should have been a more intense battle much easier, the church's casualties were still close to 30 people, while the Royal Army confirmed that more than 300 people were killed.

The latter number is not large. After all, although there is peace in this era, there are still small frictions between the two countries. The death of 300 people is only equivalent to a small battle. But the former is a quite large number. It is not easy to cultivate ring warlocks. Most of the ring warlocks who participated in this operation were middle-level and high-level. This has been the most serious damage suffered by the Zhengshen Church in the past hundred years. It can even be said that it has never been hurt before. one.

But fortunately, for the church with extraordinary power, as long as it is not dead, there is no such thing as a serious injury that cannot be healed. This time the enemy is undead. Although it has the whisper element attached to it, there is no untreatable damage. Therefore, although the number of casualties is huge, it will not have a fundamental impact on the church.

In addition to the sacrifices of the church, other organizations such as the Academy and other ring warlocks also suffered damage. What Luvia focused on was the crazy phoenix that sealed the passage to the top of the mountain, and it also died in the final battle.

"Wait a minute, can't the phoenix be reborn in fire?"

Shade asked immediately.

"The church did not find the reborn ancient one. Maybe it left along the path guided by God, or maybe it entered the mountains again to wait for recovery."

After saying this, Luvia smiled:

"From Tobesk to Cold Water Port, and then from Cold Water Port to Fort Midhill, although Fort Middle Hill suffered the greatest sacrifice, Fort Middle Hill's operation was also the most successful."

She counted with her fingers:

"Almost all the goals of the church have been achieved. The problem of the narrow room has been permanently solved. The number of chosen ones has also been determined. They even determined the camp of the Godcaller. Oh, and now your [Night Watch] In the hands of Iluna. The sacrifice was valuable, Fort Midhill was not destroyed, it was all worth it."

When she mentioned "God Caller", she looked at Shade. Shade knew that she had been waiting for this topic:

"Yes, it's me."

On the night of the god's arrival in Tobesk, Luvia and Iluna knew that Shad was the physical body of the old god.

"Shad, what on earth are you doing? Why are you talking to that vampire? Why? What on earth did God do in Fort Midhill? I don't understand. I really can't figure out why you do this."

She sat sideways and hugged Shade's neck. Shade knew that before she came back early Thursday morning, she must have been worried all night, but she couldn't tell anyone.

No crying was heard, but tears had wet Shade's collar, and she was really scared.

"Remember what I mentioned about Grace and Helen?"

Mortals shouldn't know too much about gods. Shade could only roughly tell what happened that night after he went to Fort Midhill again from his own perspective.

". There is no conspiracy. It's ridiculous to say that the appearance of the gods is really just for those two red butterflies. The patron of the vampires wants blood wine. The old Silver Moon God who borrowed my body has promised in the past. I have to protect them, so we have the battle between gods in the early morning of Wednesday. Don’t worry, I am special. God will not cause too much harm to me if he borrows my body."

Shade held Luvia's shoulders:

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Just for two mortal butterflies, the two gods fought in the Sikal Mountain area, but in the end no one took them away. I think the church couldn't think of that even if it tried to break its head. The late truth; even the most skilled fortune tellers would never believe that such a boring thing could happen."

The girl, who was still sobbing, looked at Shade with some red and swollen eyes:

"God is too far away for me, and all I want to hold on to is you."

She kissed Shade, and the kiss tasted like tears.

"look at me."

The two looked at each other at close range. There were still tears in those moving purple eyes, and the owner of the eyes saw the determination in the eyes of the young man who spoke:

"Louvia, I will accompany you until the end of everything. I will not leave early. This is a promise."

She hugged Shade again and let go after a long time:

"Sorry, I'm going to touch up my makeup."

Standing up and walking to the bathroom, Shade touched Mia at hand. In order to appease the cat who was delayed in breakfast time, the cat now had a [Metamorphosis Ring], [Fish Training Ring] and [Vampire Ring] on its tail. :

"I got the fourth ring, and little Mia also got the 'three-ring' vampire ring. Where did it come from?"

[Luvia Anat is really worried about you. 】

A voice rang in his ears, and Shade's attention was diverted, and he moved his gaze towards the direction of the bathroom:

"Sometimes I worry about myself, but since I have decided to embark on the path of becoming a god, I will not hesitate. After all, it is the path I chose. The divinity of the vampire god has been burned again, and I am in urgent need of the next drop of divinity. . Even if it’s not for the fifth ring preparation, it’s still for the divine afterglow state and power~”

Shade sighed inwardly, and Luvia came back soon, and her expression returned to normal. After quietly apologizing for losing control of his emotions, he continued to talk to Shade about Fort Midhill.

The story begins with the battle between gods, then the gratitude given by thousands of souls actually goes to Shade, and finally, Sister Devlin's somewhat "despicable" way of letting Shade accept the power of fire.

Luvia didn't have many opinions about the Original Fire, but she wanted to find time to meet Sister Devlin alone. But now that the [Traveller's Travel Door] is damaged, it's not easy to meet. As for the power that Shade had gained, Luvia came closer and looked at Shade's face at close range:

"Indeed, although your appearance has not changed, you are indeed more attractive than before, my knight."

She gently kissed the corner of Shade's lips:

"This is a very precious gift. Maybe you don't realize it, but it means that the world will remain kind to you. If you are a fortune teller, fortune telling will become easier than others. What you did this time Very good, Shade."

"You also forgot one thing. I also contributed to the greening of Fort Midhill. The ritual - the mark of the sacred tree and my mystery lock - the kiss of the tree, created a chain reaction, and because I have a A brief blessing from an ancient god, the tree on top of the mountain."

Shade pointed upward, and Luvia couldn't help laughing when she mentioned this:

"Oh, I knew that was what you did. Although Fort Midhill was in a mess from Wednesday night to early Thursday morning, most ordinary people lost their understanding of that night because of the fog that drifted out from the narrow space. memory, so the church’s aftermath work is not difficult to do. But the tree on the top of the mountain cannot be hidden.”

She covered her mouth and chuckled. This action was very ladylike:

"That tree and the bonfire under the tree are the core of your mystery and cannot be easily erased. According to the inspection of the Nature Church, the roots of that tree are all over the entire mountain. Not only do you no longer have to worry about the narrow space, but you can even The hidden dangers of the volcano have been solved. Because it is the effect of the high-ring mysterious lock, illusions cannot cover up the traces of the tree. Now the Fort Midhill City Hall is struggling with the giant tree. It is said that they are organizing Experts and scholars want to explain the appearance of that tree relatively reasonably from the perspective of monsoon and soil changes."

Shade imagined that the photo of the tree appeared in the newspaper, and the following was a scene of discussions among experts and scholars, and immediately smiled and shook his head:

"Don't talk to me about this. I've done enough for Fort Midhill, and I didn't get a penny. Let the local parish and municipal departments deal with the aftermath. The tree is there, and the undead giant is there." It’s absolutely impossible for the beast to break through the seal.”
