Whispering Verse

Boom!

The deafening thunder echoed continuously in the air. Dr. Schneider, who was holding a wine glass and chatting with Mr. Alan Madison and Mr. "Guiding Moon" Priscia in the banquet hall on the first floor of the mansion, looked at it in confusion. Outside the window:

"Is it going to rain? Why were there two thunders in a row?"

The correspondence sorcerers of Serkses also looked out the window in confusion:

"Are there high-level warlocks fighting nearby? I was really scared just now."

The light of thunder did not spread into the garden, and the lake view manor garden under the moonlight was still so quiet and beautiful. Lecia, Dorothy and Princess Margaret, who were standing together, also turned and looked in the direction of Lake Schluch after hearing the thunder:

"When I was little, I was actually afraid of thunder."

Lesia whispered to Princess Margaret. The princess certainly sensed something was wrong with the two thunders, but she couldn't show it in front of ordinary people, so she pretended not to care:

"Miss Louisa, do you know Mr. Hamilton very well? Can you continue to tell me about him?"

The blonde writer nodded, and the red-haired princess smiled strangely.

"what is that?"

On the island in the center of Lake Schluch, Miss Carina asked Miss Sylvia in the mist. The two of them were together on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake. Like everyone here, they watched the huge silver-white spear like a sky pillar appear in the thick fog. The thunderbolt made the two witches feel frightened.

In the frightened eyes of the two people, and in the terrifying thunder, the silver spear was thrown, but fortunately the target was not them. After the explosion ended, the duchess murmured amid the ringing in her ears:

"Sunshine Gun?! Isn't Yin Luna being taken into custody in the city tonight?"

She immediately shook her head:

"No, it's not the sun, it's thunder. That's not a sunlight gun, it's a thunder gun. Thaumaturgy - thunder gun."

After understanding this, Miss Carina's expression gradually returned to normal:

"Witch, who is the unlucky guy who will face this blow? And the first thunder, Sylvia, is that the one you once said."

"I don't know either"

Miss Sylvia gasped for breath, and she also saw the astonishingly large thunder gun being thrown into the lake, and the thunder that exploded was almost comparable to the thunder that sounded from the clouds just now.

The perception of the two high-ring witches is so keen that they are naturally aware of the amazing power contained in the thunder spear under the night sky:

"This power is Tobesk and the third thirteen-ring warlock?"

Currently, the thirteen-ring warlocks of the Righteous God Church in this diocese only have the "Steel Right Hand" of the Church of Creation and the "Sunshine Sword" of the Church of the Sun. The former specializes in machinery, and the latter is a master of close combat. Although there are quite a few ring magicians in the Church of the Sun who are good at thunder and lightning magic, the "Sunshine Great Sword" is not good at it.

"No, it seems like it's more than just the Thirteenth Ring. This power, does it surpass the Thirteenth Ring? Demigod?"

The black-haired witch's breathing was a little rapid, and she squinted her eyes and looked at the shore on the other side of the lake:

"But how could that happen? What happened at the lake?"

The thunder gun thrown with all its strength caused the corpse itself to evaporate. The jumping silver-white electric light lingered on the water for a long time. Shade, who fell from the sky, closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then took a step forward and appeared next to Tifa in the mist not far away.

Obviously, the position where Shade and the cultist were fighting just now was not far from where the two ladies were fighting, but before that, the two sides were completely unaware of each other.

"it's me."

Tifa was frightened by Shade's sudden appearance with the cat on his back, but she felt relieved after seeing little Mia.

The attack that was almost too close just now also scared Tifa and Miss Paavo. But Miss Pavo recovered faster than Tifa. She first noticed the appearance of Shad. When the first thunderbolt condensed in Shad's hand, there was almost no hesitation. The six-ring warlock of the Truth Society disappeared directly in fell to the lake, leaving only a broken scarecrow falling to the lake, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.

Tifa reached out and waved, and the scarecrow in the water flew into her hand:

"Keeper-level relic [Pavlov's scarecrow]."

The head maid said softly, and Shade, who was holding the thunder gun, nodded. The effect of this relic is not even spatial movement, but an effect similar to "exchange". But he knew that sooner or later the two parties would have the opportunity to meet, and he was very curious about this lady. The character and methods of doing things shown by the other party seemed so normal in the Truth Society, and the speed of the other party's escape was really surprising. Xia Almost as soon as De saw her, she disappeared.

The thunder gun in his hand has not dispersed, relying on the overflowing state of divinity to feel the sage-level relic [The Trial Island of Lost Venus] that has descended here. With the enhanced perception of divinity, "she" almost immediately obtained the information about the relics, and conveyed this information to Shade:

[After landing on the island, you need to find the stone tablet in the center of the island in the fog. After powerfully attacking the stone tablet, the content of the trial will appear. 】

This is to imitate the process of ancient heroes passing trials, but currently, the ring warlocks who have landed on the island have obviously not been able to find the stone tablet in the center of the island:

"Let me help them!"

Looking towards the center of the lake filled with white mist, the silver-white thunder gun dancing with electric arcs in his hand left a bright trace of light in the air in Tifa's eyes.

Thunderbolts penetrated the white fog. While Tifa was wondering what Shade was going to do, there was a muffled sound from the depths of the fog, as if something heavy had fallen.

The next second, whether it is the Ring Warlock on the island at this moment, or the Ring Warlock in the lake, or the Ring Warlock in Lakeview Manor. With Lake Schluch as the center, all the "other selves" of the ring warlocks within a 3-mile radius all conveyed the same message:

[Vinals' Trial: Looking for the invisible "person" in the Tobesk area. 】

The fog gradually dissipated, and the island in the middle of the lake was slowly disappearing. Miss Carina in the fog looked at Miss Sylvia:

"Did you get the information too?"

"Yes, it seems that the thirteenth-ring warlock started the trial."

"Thirteenth Ring leaves here first."

The Duchess took Miss Sylvia's hand.

"where to?"

"Go find Shade. I probably know what happened."

Miss Sylvia calmed down:

"OK."

She also held Miss Carina's right hand tightly, and then took a step forward. The surrounding scenery became blurry, then clear again. The two witches took a deep breath. Miss Carina stood on the shore, looked back at the disappearing island in the middle of the lake, and then entered the forest with Miss Sylvia.

The thunder left traces on the lakeside, but the traces were quickly disappearing, and the church's high-level warlocks were approaching, so they did not stay longer on the shore.

Relying on the sense of their apprentices, the great witches moved forward in the dark garden, and soon came to a hedge maze filled with floor-standing gas lamps.

Two pairs of high heels stepped on the gravel path and bypassed the tall fence. The sound of walking quickly disturbed many young people who were rubbing their temples in the shadows.

Finally, deep in the hedge maze, they found Shad and Tifa sitting on a bench under the moonlight, talking and laughing.

A lot of things happened in just ten minutes at Lake Schluch a few hundred meters away, but it was so quiet inside the hedge maze that people couldn't help but sit down, hold hands with the girl they loved and whisper something.

Shade held the cat with a smile on his face. Tifa clasped his hands together awkwardly and placed them on the legs of the maid's skirt. His face was slightly red, and there was a little shyness in his brown-black eyes.

The gas lamp here was on the other side, so only moonlight illuminated them on the withered stone bench. Even though they knew other things were more important, the two witches had to admit that this scene was indeed worth appreciating.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to perform in front of me."

Miss Carina strode forward in a puzzled manner, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the quiet night with her words. She said with a somewhat sullen smile:

"Shad, don't tell me that you guys were flirting here all the time when Sylvia and I went to Lake Schluch."

She didn't give Shade a chance to speak:

"If you two really stayed here for half an hour, Knight, I don't believe you would be a gentleman and do nothing. Well, I do, but I don't believe Tifa would do nothing. My personal maid Tu You are wearing lipstick, but there are no marks on your face or mouth, what are you doing in front of me?"

She sneered, stretched out her hand and pulled Shade up:

"Did you throw away the [Thunder Gun] just now?"

Chi Chi's dark golden eyes stared at Sha De, and Sha De blinked. He had just arrived here with Tifa. He didn't expect the two witches to catch up so quickly. Because he had already expected that Miss Carina would guess it, he didn't panic at this time:

"Yes."

Miss Carina showed such an expression:

"Just like last time?"

This refers to Lakeview Manor in late summer, which is why she guessed that the blow just now was thrown by Shade.

"Yes, I can use this power sometimes."

The witch snorted, knowing of course that Shade was lying. But she promised not to pursue the matter further, so she did not pursue it any further. She hurried here just now to make sure that no new thirteen-ring warlock appeared in Tobesk. If the thirteen-ring warlock whose identity is unknown really exists, That's what's causing headaches:

"Is the use of your power limited to Lakeview Manor? It was such a crisis in the Dark Realm at that time, and you didn't even show this power. How could you use it as soon as you got here?"

Miss Sylvia who was standing aside had no idea what had happened to Shade. She looked suspiciously at Shade with the cat standing on her shoulder, and then her eyes widened suddenly:

"Shadow at Lakeview Manor in late summer is the Godcaller?"

"of course not."

The red-haired Duchess and Shade denied at the same time. The former glanced at the man in front of her with a warning look, telling him not to speak:

"He has his own special power, but he cannot use it at will. If he was a thirteen-ring warlock called God, where would you find him in Huntingdon City?"

Miss Sylvia thought about it and felt that what Miss Carina said made sense. Of course she still had questions, but now was not the time to ask them. Besides, she would stay in Tobesk for several more weeks, so she would have plenty of time to find out about Shad.

Tifa also stood up at this time, greeted Miss Carina softly, and then stood behind her consciously.

The witch, who breathed a sigh of relief, was finally in the mood to tease her maid:

"Tifa, I asked you to accompany Shade to play cards. It seems that you are not satisfied with just playing cards."

"Mr. Hamilton's poker game is really exciting."

Tifa said softly, and the four of them turned around and prepared to return to the Lakeview Manor. People from the church would be here soon.

The maid lady softly described what had just happened to the two great witches. She did not see the process of Shade taking the "Rage of Divine Punishment", so she only described in detail what "Miss Pavo" said about the "Wise Powder Stone" and The "Keeper of Secrets" thing, and then jumped directly to Shade throwing the thunder gun, starting the trial of the sage-level relic [The Trial Island of Lost Venus].

"The first trial is to find the invisible person."

Miss Carina nodded, and the four of them walked out of the hedge maze. Miss Sylvia shook her right hand slightly, and no one could see them or hear their voices:

"More than one ring magician heard the sound. I suspect that all the ring magicians in this area could hear it. This time, the Apuna Library and the Truth Society cannot hide this matter from anyone. Of course, the two just now Dao Lei is actually more surprising than what happened next.”

Now that she mentioned this matter, Shade asked softly:

"Well, did I make a lot of noise just now?"

"certainly."

The duchess seemed to be angry and laughed, slowing down and turning to look at Shade:

"Thumbs [thunder gun], right? I have never seen such an exaggerated thunder gun. How much hatred does that cultist have against you that you would use this kind of power to deal with them?"

"They wanted to do something to my cat."

Shade stroked the cat he was holding, acting as if it was natural. Miss Carina's mouth trembled as she looked at the handsome face of the young knight illuminated by the gas lamp beside the path:

"Sometimes I really wonder, if you had the choice to sleep with your cat or sleep with a girl with a great body, which one would you choose?"

"Actually, Lecia actually let me choose."

Shade said immediately, wanting to avoid further slander.

"You chose the cat?"

"How can it be?"

Seeing that Miss Carina still wanted to speak, Shade changed the subject first:

"Were there many ring warlocks who saw those two [Thunder Guns] just now?"

"Of course, I suppose even a blind ring warlock could 'see'."

Miss Sylvia on the side also nodded:

"Yeah, that's an exaggeration."

"Um"

As a group of four people approached the mansion, the lights suddenly brightened. Now that we have returned to the bright place, Schluch Lake suddenly becomes very far away, and it feels like we have returned to the civilized world from the jungle.

Together they walked along the garden path back to Lakeview Manor House:

"So am I strong?"

Shade hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, and the "she" in his heart laughed.

Miss Carina turned to look at him. Under the light of the gas lamp, the witch who was close to Chi Chi was so beautiful, and even her angry eyes were so charming:

"Of course it's very strong. That's a power that almost surpasses the Thirteenth Ring. What's your weird question?"

She casually took out the pink gauze scarf from Shade's jacket pocket and threw it to him:

"If you want me to admit that you are powerful, knight, as a courtesy, I will give you the veil."

She said with a smile, putting the gauze scarf that Shade had obtained from the "lucky red box" at the beginning of the banquet into his hand. And as Miss Carina's voice fell, the long-awaited reply finally appeared in Shade's ears:

[Outlander, you successfully proved your strength during the banquet. 】

"Absorbing divinity can prove your strength. This is not easy."

Shade let out a long breath, and then noticed that Miss Sylvia on the side was looking at him secretly.

Shade looked at her curiously, thinking that something was wrong with the witch. Unexpectedly, the other party looked away again, which made Shade feel a little confused.

But no matter what, divinity shines brightly in Shade's soul again. Everything tonight was worth it.
