Whispering Verse

"Um?"

"What's wrong?"

On the bright and warm second floor of the Prophet's Association, Princess Margaret asked Shade curiously.

She was sitting with Shade, Lesia, Princess Agelina, Sir Prisha, and Miss Eva Swift, a local poet from Carsonlik, listening to Shade tell his detective story.

At this time, the salon was entering a lively moment. People gathered with familiar guests to discuss topics of interest, and from time to time there would be compliments and applause.

Shade was just telling the story of how he helped Mr. Hank solve the "haunted night" story, and suddenly he was startled and turned to look out the window.

Lesia picked up the teacup and hid her worried expression. Others didn't know what was wrong with Shade. The night outside the window is still calm. The Prophet Association knows what may happen outside tonight, and of course it will not let these distinguished guests notice anything strange outside.

But Sha De was different. He was quite familiar with Yin Luna's "Sunshine Gun", so he immediately knew through "her" that Yin Luna seemed to be fighting with others outside.

"Nothing. I just mentioned that I was going to investigate Mr. Hank's friends, so I suddenly remembered that I didn't turn off the gas light when I went out."

Shade said embarrassedly:

"But it doesn't matter, let's continue telling the story. This story will probably be published in the newspaper by Miss Louisa in the middle of next month. This is definitely not the weirdest case in my detective career, but it is also quite interesting. Mr. Hank's friends are spread out over "

He was telling his story, but felt quite uneasy in his heart. Because they were far apart, he could only rely on his familiarity with Yin Luna to know that she was fighting with others, but Xia De really couldn't guess what was going on outside.

"It shouldn't be that [Jack Thief] appears. Yin Luna won't directly use [Sunshine Gun] to deal with that thief who becomes stronger when faced with a strong one."

He felt uneasy, so after finishing the story, he once again excused himself to go to the bathroom:

"I guess I shouldn't drink so much black tea this afternoon."

Shade said very apologetically, stood up and walked towards the door.

Although Shade was away, people were still happy to continue the discussion. Princess Lesia held the "Hamilton Detective Stories" and said with some regret:

"I did invite Miss Louisa, but it's a pity that the lady has something to do and can't come."

"Your Highness, I heard that Miss Louisa and Mr. Hamilton are very good friends. I wonder if this is true?"

The female writer Kasenlik, who had met Shade and Dorothy at different banquets several times, asked with a smile. Lecia shook her head slightly:

"I'm not particularly familiar with Mr. Hamilton either."

When she said this, her eyes wandered for a moment, and the little princess beside her tried not to make a strange expression.

"But it is said that he has a wide range of friends, whether they are aristocratic businessmen, professors, shopkeepers, or poor people in the lower town. They are all his friends. I think because of the source material, Miss Louisa should have a good relationship with Detective Hamilton Bar."

"I had heard of Mr. Hamilton's reputation when I was at Carson Creek."

Sir Prisha said, and pretended to glance at the door:

"I'm not speaking ill of others behind their backs. This should be regarded as a compliment. It is said that the Hamilton Knight is very popular with girls. I chatted with this young gentleman before the salon started. He is indeed as knowledgeable as the rumors say. He is a man of many talents and can even be called a wise man. If during the process of collecting materials, Miss Louisa became attached to the knights for this reason, we would not be surprised. This is a normal thing."

"Yes, Mr. Hamilton's looks please the girls."

The little princess said, Sir Prisha nodded in agreement with this view, Lesia wanted to laugh but couldn't. Only Princess Margaret held the wine glass with a thoughtful expression.

Now that we know that Shade is a correspondence magician from St. Byrons, there is reason to suspect that everyone around him may be correspondence students in the same group. Margaret Anjou did not covet Chard's secrets, she was just curious about Chard's life.

Everyone in the salon is enjoying tonight's time. The literary salon attended by young ladies and gentlemen of the upper class can make everyone feel comfortable even if it is just to kill time, because it is a symbol of status.

And in the next second that no one expected, the sound of breaking glass suddenly broke the atmosphere of the literary salon. When the cold wind outside blew into the room from the completely broken windows, everyone who was talking and laughing all shut their mouths.

A middle-aged gentleman wearing a black formal suit and holding a civilized stick jumped down from the window sill with his leather boots. Behind him, a young man wearing a short shirt, covering his left arm, also climbed into the room tremblingly:

"Professor Anse, maybe you can fly slower next time."

"right here."

Professor Angce seemed to have anticipated the situation in the room, and smiled and said to the people who looked at him:

"Except for Margaret Anjou, Agelina Cavendish, Nasser Cavendish and Lesia Cavendish, everyone else please sleep!"

The power of the spell was transmitted to the room with the sound, and ordinary people who were unprepared fell down on the carpet or sofa in an instant. Fortunately, the carpet and sofa were soft enough so no one was hurt.

The three princesses immediately stood up, and Lesia protected Agelina behind her. As for Prince Nasser, he just went out to the bathroom and has not returned yet.

Lecia and Princess Margaret frowned and hesitated whether to take action, but at this moment the door was knocked open, and all eight members of the Circle Warlock team from the Creation Church who had been ambushing next door broke in.

At the same time, Yin Luna quickly rushed into the room from the window. Behind him, Miss Green, the ten-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, the eleventh-ring warlock of the Peace Church, and Mr. Modelo, who was wearing a white clergy robe, also "walked" in through the window.

Eight people at the window and three at the door surrounded Professor Anse and the cultists. The former raised his eyebrows, took off his white gloves and said with a smile:

"It seems to be exactly the same as Miss Pavo's plan."

He looked around at everyone present and snapped his fingers gracefully. Before the church's ring magicians took action, the cultists who followed [Mr. Doom] had already thrown the dice in their hands.

"Stop him!"

But it was too late. The whispering elements of the angel-level relics spread all around, and an invisible barrier completely isolated this room from the normal world. All the lights in the room were extinguished at this moment, but the next second, a beam of white skylight shone on the side of the cultist who rolled the dice.

Stable beams of light illuminate the square stone table, with a chair on each side of the table in the north, south, south, and south directions.

Everyone stood in the darkness. The silent silence was not because they didn't mean to speak, but because they temporarily lost the ability to make a sound.

Professor Anse from the Truth Society walked out of the darkness, came to the white skylight, and sat on the east side of the table. Cultist of "Mr. Fortune". Then he covered his arms and sat on the north side.

People were moving in the darkness, and Miss Green stood in front of the three princesses and used magic to protect them. Mr. Modelo used gestures to remind people not to stay away from that beam of light, but in fact no one would do so. There seemed to be a terrifying giant beast peeping at them in the terrifying depths of darkness, and they could only stay around that beam of light. Peace of mind.

The whispering elements are mainly concentrated in the light and the darkness further away, otherwise Princess Margaret and Lesia would have to consider whether to faint in time now.

The "Professor" who was already seated knocked on the table and said to the church's ring magicians:

"Angel-level relic, [Collection of Dice Stories]. Based on the current scene, a most realistic game is generated to tell a magical adventure story. Three players can participate in this story and each choose their own 'protagonist' to go to reality Adventure. By the way, after all players sit down, the narrator of the story will appear, who calls himself the 'Keeper of Secrets'. Yes, gentlemen and ladies, according to our investigation, this relic is related to the wise and wise man. It is related to the ancient god of knowledge. Winning this game can be regarded as completing a trial of the secret keeper."

"Are you crazy? Taking the initiative to involve the fate of the chosen ones?"

Even though she knew the madness of the [Truth Society], Miss Green still scolded them in a low voice.

The secret keeper's request is "the power related to the ancient god [Secret Keeper Mentor]", so in addition to the relics that appear naturally, reusing the relics that have been contained can also be regarded as meeting the requirements of the poem. But the church did not do this. On the one hand, it was because it was not sure whether there were undiscovered psalm fragments that prohibited this. On the other hand, it was because the fate of the chosen ones could not be easily touched. If the secret was actively opened in a deliberate way, If people try it, big problems will definitely occur.

"Crazy?"

Professor Angs smiled and shook his head:

"It is indeed crazy, but Miss Pavo believes that no matter what the result is, it is a quite successful experiment. Although this gentleman and I took a lot of risks, such an experiment will definitely have results, won't it? But it’s a valuable attempt. We never do anything meaningless. And if you’re really lucky, you can get two pieces of wise man’s pyroxene at once tonight.”

The cultist sitting next to him muttered "madman" in a low voice, but no one paid him any attention.

"By the way, if it weren't for the fact that opening this relic requires the existence of mutually hostile game players, I wouldn't be here. There is still another place, who wants to participate?"

He looked at everyone present:

"Also, there is no need to worry about anyone disturbing us. While this relic is open, no one will notice what is happening here, and everyone will ignore us for the time being. This space is completely isolated from the outside world, and the game is not over. There is no way to It hurts us who are seated in the game. You see, I also invited three princesses and a prince."

"Professor" glanced at everyone present and raised his eyebrows:

"It is a pity that His Royal Highness the young prince is not here, but the princesses are very lucky to watch the most authentic story that we have participated in and influenced. The royal family is aware of the existence of the Ring Warlock, so this does not violate the Official Secrets Act. "

"Oh, you just wanted to take hostages."

Yin Luna's voice interrupted his words. As she walked towards the square table under the beam of light, the team of the Creation Church, led by the bearded man, also came closer. The high-level warlocks were testing the boundaries of this space, and then Sure enough, I found that I couldn't leave. The walls and windows still exist, but there is no connection to the outside world.

"Want to join this damn game?"

Yin Luna asked Miss Xiang Green that they both belonged to the Church of the Sun, and Yin Luna was also used to following the arrangements of high-level warlocks.

"I want to protect the three princesses, so I won't participate. And you have higher rights to move freely outside, so you decide."

Miss Green said that among the three princesses behind her who were protected by the Holy Emblem, the elder two had their own thoughts.

Yin Luna looked at Mr. Modelo again, who also said:

"You decide. The [Dark Realm] some time ago also had the power to make people ignore a certain space, but wasn't it also noticed that something was wrong afterwards?"

Professor Angs would not comment on this.

Yin Luna looked at the team that created the Church. The bearded captain shook his head slightly:

"My command authority is the lowest among us. It's up to you to decide."

Yin Luna finally looked at the three princesses. The princesses stood together and looked "panicked" at the scene in front of them. There were sleeping people around them.

"Your Highnesses, please come closer. According to the Official Secrets Act, the church will protect the safety of the royal family. You may need to drink some holy water."

After speaking, Yin Luna nodded to Miss Green and Mr. Modelo. He walked around to the south side of the square table under the beam of light, and then sat on the stool.
