Whispering Verse

Miss Danister was in quite bad condition, so Shade tried his best to help her take two steps back. The library scene in the sea of ​​​​stars was covered by the thick fog that came back. Taking two steps back, they walked out of the double holy silver doors.

White mist poured out from the crack in the door and enveloped the door. After the fog dissipated, the gate summoned by the ritual also disappeared. The wordless black book and the Yellow Moon Slate fell to the floor, and the gems, diamonds and rare materials that made up the ceremony were all turned into dust.

The ceremony worth 400,000 gold pounds ended like this. Shade believed that although Miss Daniste was very rich, it would be absolutely impossible for her to hold this ceremony again casually. Although Shade obtained very important information through the ceremony, if he really had 400,000 gold pounds, he would not be willing to spend the money to obtain this information.

Miss Danister's condition still didn't look very good. Shade helped her back to Room 1, let her sit down on the sofa, and then went to the study to take out a small bottle of holy water. After the librarian lady recovered a little, she brought hot tea with pure holy water added.

Miss Danister also brought a potion with her. She drank a bitter brown potion with a painful look on her face, and then drank a few sips of hot tea before her face turned a little red. She held the tea cup and looked at Shade with the cat on his lap:

"I'm really sorry for letting you see the scene just now."

"It doesn't matter. There is always a price to pay for peeping into knowledge, not to mention that it is a story recorded by the moon."

He stroked the cat and said:

"You still seem to be in poor condition. Do you need to rest at my place tonight? My house is quite big and I can arrange a guest room."

Miss Denister smiled, but shook her head slightly:

"I did not inform the college of this trip, and I must rush back before dawn. Shade, aren't you curious about why I am so persistent in searching for the library?"

"This is your personal secret and I won't ask."

Shade shook his head. Miss Danister allowed him to participate in the ceremony for free, which cost 400,000 gold pounds to complete. He has gained enough and will no longer pry into other people's secrets.

"Yes, I have never told anyone else. Even the principal, Mr. Pigman, only vaguely guessed that my purpose was related to my teacher."

Heat rose from the teacup between his hands, and the light of the gas lamp and the fire of the fireplace illuminated the two of them. This kind of atmosphere for listening to stories late at night in winter is not bad. Shade touched little Mia and asked hesitantly:

"Your last librarian?"

"Yes. Although they are both thirteen-ring warlocks, the teacher is more talented and better than me. The teacher is also proficient in the power of the moon, but unlike me, her core spiritual rune is the silver moon."

She showed a rather nostalgic expression:

"She disappeared a long time ago. In the second year when I took over the position of librarian, the teacher disappeared completely after going out. I know what she did. The teacher said a long time ago that she wanted to go Meet the ancient god of Silver Moon - [Sage of Silver Moon]."

"Um?"

"I have talked about this ancient god with you, and I think you also know about him. He is the moon, the starry sky, and the night. For those of us who hold the power of the moon, even if we do not believe in this ancient god, We must also maintain the most basic respect and respect for Him.”

Miss Daniste gave a forced smile.

"Yes, I respect that."

Shade was particularly shocked and even suspected that he heard the wrong content:

"But haven't the ancient gods left long ago? Does your teacher know where the ancient gods are sleeping?"

"Of course I don't know. She is a mortal after all."

Miss Denister pursed her lips:

"But when the ancient gods left, they more or less left some traces in the material world. The teacher has always believed that [Silver Moon Sage], the god of the moon, night, and starry sky, left some traces in the material world. The body of the saint he once used, or something equally important."

Shade looked at her in shock. He originally thought that the memory of this Friday a few years later would be just him riding a cat and fighting a puppet.

"The teacher has been studying these things a long time ago. After handing me the identity of the administrator, he set out to find her. I didn't know where she ended up. Maybe it was the rumored star realm, maybe it was the collapsed one. Deep within the ruins of Mount Karas’ tower may be other hidden corners of the material world.”

She looked at Shade:

"In order to continue the teacher's research and find out the teacher's whereabouts, I inherited all her research materials and got to where I am today step by step."

"So, did you see the answer just now? Where did your teacher go?"

Shade asked immediately, but Miss Denister shook her head slightly:

"Prophecies, divination and other signs indicate that the teacher is dead, and I can accept this. The content in the book just now is not something I can bear. There is indeed an answer, but I just saw that she went to Karas The ruins of the tower on the mountain and found some things. I saw the content behind it, but my body forced me to forget those contents. Fortunately, you were with me at the time. Being unconscious in the [Silver Moon Library] is very dangerous. "

"Mountain Karas."

Shade frowned slightly. There were only two occurrences of this name in his memory, and the first time he had just come to this world. At that time, the frightened foreigner tried his best to remember everything he saw, so he was quite impressed:

"Last summer, on the day my uncle Detective Sparrow died, I read the news in a crumpled newspaper, the investigation report on the collapse of Mount Calas Tower (Chapter 4). And, a professor friend of mine said, The Karas Mountain area has a primitive moon worship tradition (Chapter 927).”

"Yes, the ruins of the high tower on Mount Karas collapsed almost last spring. The ancient Moon Worship Order once built a magnificent church and sacrificial place there, but there are not many things left today. In the spring When the tower collapsed, the church investigated for several months to make sure there were no problems before letting ordinary people step in to write and publish the investigation report in newspapers. I originally thought it was just an ordinary collapse."

Miss Denister's cheeks were being smoked by the steam of hot tea, and the blood was reappearing:

"The last time I came to Tobesk, I met the vice-president of the illegal organization [The Society of Truth]. She personally admitted to me that the Society of Truth had investigated the ruins of the Karas Tower (Chapter 1081). The church caught a local researcher last fall The ring magician who performed the resurrection ceremony of the dead (Chapter 440) learned from this that the collapse of the tower was inseparable from them (Chapter 564). Moreover, the original owner of the relic [Source of Chaos] in your hand, the astrologer Euclid Sir, he also went to the ancient tower of Mount Karas, where the Truth Society found his notebook, and then learned that the [Source of Chaos] that the Bard Keeper wanted to obtain was in the city of Tobesk.

Shade immediately thought of what Mr. Euclid said in the letter left in the secret compartment - "I plan to find the legendary tower, the tower where the moon is buried (Chapter 1088)." It now seems that after Mr. Euclid left No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, he most likely went to the ancient tower on Mount Callas.

Because the letter left by Mr. Euclid also contained information about the "Chosen One of the Moon" who would spend the night at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, Shade did not tell Miss Denister about the letter. The letter exists, but there are already many clues:

"Miss Denister, next, are you going to investigate the ruins of the collapsed tower?"

"Yes, it would be best to know from the Truth Society what happened to that tower in the spring to cause it to suddenly collapse."

The sorceress nodded. She saw that Shade was also interested in this and thought that he also wanted to know the secrets of the ancient god [Silver Moon Sage]:

"I admit that you are my student, just like I inherited the teacher's research, the investigation and research on this matter, if I do not get the final result, then you have to inherit it. So, if there is new news , I will tell you."

She said softly, seemingly recovering well:

"You showed your life ring just now. I noticed that your fifth ring already has the first spiritual rune. It's really good. If you can advance to the high level in time, maybe I can take you on adventures and investigations. I need this spiritual rune. Is it related to the words of sublimation?”

she asked.

Shade called out his life ring:

"Whispering Spirit Rune [Puppet], although I haven't read all the words of sublimation in the academy, but I think even if it can be related to [Silver Moon], the word of sublimation is not suitable for me. Just wait."

Miss Danister finished her cup of tea and left. Shade sent her to the door downstairs and watched her figure "melt" into the shadows on the street. The fog in the city was very light tonight, and the moonlight illuminated the side of Shade's face. At this time, half of Shade's face was in the shadow, but he had no expression.

For him, perhaps the most important information tonight was not the secret of "Crazy Land". He thought of more things:

"The ruins of the tower on Mount Karas collapsed in the spring of 1853. When Joy Barton used [Impermanence and Death] to divine for me, he said that I should have died from the collapsed tower (Chapter 676) in early 1853, which was also last year. In early spring, at the same time. Before the Battle of the Pantanal, the keeper at the lighthouse on the island in the middle of the Pantanal Lake said, I fell from the tower and sacrificed myself voluntarily (Chapter 1118)."

[So, do you think there are other secrets about this body’s past? 】

she asked with a chuckle.

Shade emptied his mind and quietly looked at the gas street lamp closest to his home. It took him a long time before he came up with his next question:

"I want to make sure that even you don't have any memory of this body before I woke up?"

[Outlander, I am you and you are me. I opened my eyes because of you, no doubt about it. 】

Shade nodded slightly:

"So, the academy's summary of my past and Helen and Grace's investigation of this body's past are most likely problematic. The academy may have been negligent, but Helen and Grace's investigation... Waiting for Miss Denister To further investigate the tower on Karas Mountain, or I can go to Miss Paavo and ask what the [Truth Society] has done. Or, I can go to Karas Mountain myself."

"Meow~"

The cat poked its head out from behind Shade's feet, glanced out the door, and then retracted its head because it didn't like the cold air.

Shade bent down and picked up little Mia, and then saw Dorothy's figure appearing at the intersection of Saint Teresa Square.

He hugged the cat and walked up to him, and the blonde girl smiled and walked quickly towards him.

No matter what secrets this body or identity holds, there is only Shade Suellen Hamilton in the world now. The outsider grabs whatever is in his hands, everything. No matter what happened in the past, just as he said to Luvia tonight, he will create his own future.

PS1: Regarding the collapse of the Karas Mountain Tower, it is the hidden main line of the first thousand chapters. Each volume will advance a little bit. You should have noticed it, right?

PS: In this chapter, "she" did not lie.
