Whispering Verse

The yellow, red and silver moon hangs high in the night sky. There are no clouds in the sky above Lakeview Manor. The bright stars hang upside down above their heads, making people think that they can touch the glow of the stars with their hands.

When the accident occurred, the aftermath of the séance put the dinner guests to sleep, so no one saw the unusual blood mist and fight that followed.

This makes it easier to explain what happened tonight - the organizer of the banquet, Little Croun, teamed up with the followers of the evil god [Lord of the Blood Feast] to put sleeping drugs in the food and wine at the dinner. But fortunately, the Zhengshen Church, which represents justice, arrived in time to stop their conspiracy.

As for the earthquake just now, it was a complete coincidence and has nothing to do with this place.

Now, Lake View Manor has been surrounded by a joint force of Tobesk garrison and police, and the awakened dinner guests were politely invited by the Orthodox Church to rest in the manor house and conduct inspections.

On the one hand, this is to prevent too many people from seeing the moon marks in the courtyard of Lakeview Manor, and on the other hand, it is to try to screen out suspicious people who should not appear here among the guests.

The two teams of ring warlocks from the Church of the Sun and the Church of Peace who participated in the battle still stayed in the courtyard. The police who arrived later were responsible for entering the mansion to maintain order. The ring warlock support team that came from the city comprehensively searched the manor, recording He also destroyed the ritual of the "Sixth Age - 1853 Sun and Moon God's Descendance Incident", and also picked off the strange blood-red flowers on the walls of the manor.

This is precious material.

Miss Iluna Bayas, a young girl with long brown hair, was in the courtyard with her companions, standing in front of the terrible "scar" that was still emitting silver light.

The moon marks almost extend from the entrance of the straight mansion to the fence gate of Lakeview Manor, splitting the central axis of the entire manor, and the remaining power lingers for a long time. Even after half an hour passed, people still did not dare to directly touch the scratches on the ground.

Miss La Nina Green, who belongs to the Church of the Sun, is the first Ten-ring Warlock of the Orthodox Church to arrive at the manor. Wearing a long blue dress, she stood next to the luminous indentation in the ground, playing with the relic [Ring of Metamorphosis] dropped by "Mrs. Lasoya" after her death, and listening to the ring magicians of the Church of the Sun describing what had just happened. things.

The long-brown Miss Iluna Bayas had no right to speak and could only listen to the captain, Mr. Robinson, and after the captain finished speaking, she added to the ten-ring sorceress of our church:

"I think I was the first person to notice him, but I didn't see his face or appearance. But I thought it must be a man. Before he jumped into the air, I noticed him coming from the banquet on the third floor. The hall came out."

She is very confident about this.

Miss Green smiled at her and nodded. After confirming that the team had no other clues, she lowered her head and looked at the traces of silver light on the ground.

"Is the other party strong?"

Miss Bayas asked uneasily while pinching the hem of her skirt.

"Judging from the remnants of his spirit, he is at least better than me."

Everyone present couldn't help but frown. In the Sixth Age, although there are not a handful of high-level warlocks above the tenth level, it is still very difficult to appear:

"Miss Green, who will it be?"

Robinson, the captain of the team, the man Shade thought was strong enough to kill him and little Mia with one punch, asked with a frown.

"It's impossible to confirm, but it won't be from the Orthodox Church, let alone from the Academy of Thaumaturgy. Those professors will not easily set foot in the Old Continent. We need to send letters to the three academies for confirmation. The other party may know who this is... ....How could it be such a coincidence that Mr. Sari Pilot, the iron right hand of the [Creation Church], just left Tobesk last week, and this happened immediately..."

The sorceress turned her head and looked aside. The team of ring warlocks from the Peace Church, who had also witnessed the scene just now, had also joined the eleven-ring warlocks from the Peace Church.

The Eleven-ring Warlock of the Peace Church is an old man who looks older than Priest August. He has gray hair and wears the white robes of an ordinary clergyman. If you meet him by chance in the church, it would be difficult to believe that he has great power. the power of:

"Mr. Modelo, what do you think?"

Miss Green asked. Mr. Modelo squatted down and directly touched the traces on the ground with his hand:

"Oh, this is really exciting!"

He immediately withdrew his hand, and then watched the silver brilliance on his cracked palm gradually fade:

"It's similar to your opinion...at least twelve rings, maybe thirteen. The opponent didn't show a life ring when attacking, which means it was just a casual attack."

Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the old warlock from the eleventh ring couldn't help but admire:

"It's really amazing. That gentleman probably knew from the beginning that [Mercury Blood] and the cultists planned to summon the evil god here. Not only did he get rid of the 'Heart Collector' that the church hadn't discovered in advance, he also hid in the dark to observe our environment. The warlock team took action. After confirming that the church could not defeat the opponent and that the city's support could not arrive in time, he destroyed the ceremony alone on the third floor with extremely exquisite techniques, then casually wounded the person with silver eyes with a casual blow, and then left quietly... ...Which one from the New World has returned? Or, which twelve-ring warlock has been promoted?"

The old man's voice gradually became lower. He did not reach out anymore, but kept his squatting posture and looked at the glowing soil and said:

"Perhaps we can use divination to seek enlightenment later, but tonight the evil god is coming, and the breath of God will disturb the traces of fate."

"The evil god..."

Miss Green looked up to the third floor of the mansion, where the "masked man under the silver moon" that everyone pointed out just now appeared:

"But at least the other party is not a bad person. He prevented the [Lord of the Blood Feast] from coming, and even attacked the silver-eyed man and his companions... The headless body found in the garden of Lakeview Manor dozens of minutes ago , has been determined to be the 'Heart Collector' of [Mercury Blood]. The other party seems to be very familiar with the movements of [Mercury Blood], the cultists and our team. Tonight's actions are as if they are specifically targeting Mercury Blood. The operation is very efficient. Could it be that the reason for coming here is..."

She did not directly name the sage-level relic, but the eleventh-ring warlock Mr. Modelo also understood what she meant:

"No matter what, I want to check the participants of this banquet and look for suspicious persons. I think there should be at least a list. I want to see if there are any correspondence magicians present this time. With the current situation, even if the guests are There is a suspicious person who is proficient in divination and has an insider in the church, so he cannot escape. In addition, before we arrived and the silver-eyed man escaped, was there anyone who came down from the third floor of the mansion?"

He got the point.

"No."

Mr. Robinson, the leader of the Ring Warlock Team of the Church of the Sun, said. He took out a small notebook from his pocket and flipped through it:

"We checked the second and third floors not long ago. Only the guests who were trapped on the second floor left the mansion after the battle. Several of them had sensitive identities and used their reputations to guarantee that they and the accompanying servants were fine. We After careful inspection, it was confirmed that they are all ordinary people."

"Identity sensitive? Which member of the royal family is here tonight?"

Miss Green inquired.

"Carina, Duchess of Cavendish, who came to Tobesk from her fief just a few weeks ago."

The ring magician of the Peace Church replied that the group seemed to be at ease with the duchess, so they did not raise any suspicion about the people accompanying her.

"Since he is suspected of being a thirteen-ring warlock, of course he won't be found so easily by us."

Miss Green said, looking at the three moons and twinkling stars above her head:

"Issuing a bounty order to the members of [Mercury Blood] and cultists who believe in [Lord of Blood Feast] all over the world, this matter cannot end like this. Although the 'Iron Right Hand' is not in this diocese for the time being, I think The Church of the Five Gods can always temporarily dispatch another thirteen-ring warlock to come and completely deal with the cultists and [Mercury Blood]. As for that man..."

Miss Green hesitated for a moment, then Mr. Modelo of the Peace Church said:

"Using the code name of 'The Masked Man Under the Silver Moon', inform the Church of Dawn, Church of Nature and Church of Creation who are not involved in this operation about the identity of that person. Since the other party has prevented the evil god from coming, there is no need to regard him as an enemy for the time being. You can maintain a wait-and-see attitude until the other party appears next time. However, Tobesk Diocese has been strictly investigating unidentified ring sorcerers from outside in recent months... Silver Moon, is it the twelve-ringed magician from the Witch Council? ‘The Great Witch of Silver Moon’ is here?”

He said, but then stood up and shook his head:

"I'm really lost. Where are the men in the Witch Council?"

Miss Green mentioned the latest news:

"I just received information not long ago that those women were making moves in Tobesk Parish."

"They are not the only ones who have been making moves in Tobesk recently. Besides, don't you know what these people are doing?"

As Mr. Modelo spoke, he glanced at Iluna Bayas who was standing aside, not knowing what the two were talking about.

"In short, the world is going to be in chaos again. What happened tonight is very likely to be the beginning of a series of things to come. How many years has it been since the evil god almost succeeded?"

The old man said with concern.

"Sir, why is there such chaos? Isn't it still a peaceful time?"

The young priest from the Peace Church's ring warlock team who had handed Shade a relief food leaflet asked cautiously.

Miss Green sighed:

"The great prophecy left by the Witch Emperors..."

She looked at the ignorant Miss Iluna Bayas from her church, who looked at her in surprise. Miss Green shook her head:

"No, it's just a prophecy. In short, people who believe in prophecies will gather in Tobesk City in the near future to complete the first section of "The Whispering Psalms." There will be some strange guys in the city recently. I think, 'Silver The masked man under the moon was probably attracted by the prophecy of the resurrection of the old god, and unexpectedly set his sights on the [Mercury Blood]. Twelve or even thirteen rings...who is it?"
