Whispering Verse

"Library of the Moon."

On Saturday morning, as Shade used thaumaturgy while sitting at the dining table, a three-story bookshelf with a dreamy color like a sea of ​​stars appeared next to Shade. Under the surprised gazes of Mia and Dorothy, Shade took out a translucent book from the bookshelf with the same color of starry sea on the cover and back.

The bookshelf around him disappeared. He looked through the book in his hand, handed it to Mia for a sniff, and then handed it to Dorothy. Dorothy opened it curiously, and then saw a colorful "photo" of a beautiful girl wearing a red dress, with long blond hair, and green eyes:

"It's really like my [reading and writing] thaumaturgy. Oh, you actually saw Miss Benanis!"

Dorothy was extremely surprised:

"Last year when Lesia visited Kasenlik, she was not able to see the Baroness. It's really enviable. It's a pity that I can't go to Randall Valley, otherwise I would definitely go with you to hear her sing. .”

Miss Writer's regret comes from the bottom of her heart. Miss Vanessa Benenice has not performed in public for many years, and it is an almost unattainable wish to hear her sing again.

At this time, Shade was thinking about the thaumaturgy he obtained after entering the "Silver Moon Library" last night. Rather than saying that this thaumaturgy was like the power displayed by Sir Prisha, it was better to say that this thaumaturgy was more like the old god [Grey Robe]. Sage] The power displayed in the ruins of the Library of Caddis in the Valley of Death.

This thaumaturgy has no combat ability, but Shade always feels that it is so extraordinary.

At this time, Dorothy at the table suddenly closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was already the princess. Lesia was also amazed at the "drawing" of Miss Bernice in the book, and then she put her arms around Shade's neck and gave him a passionate kiss:

"I've been really busy lately. I originally planned to make out with you while Luvia was away in Tobesk."

Meanwhile, the weather on this Saturday morning was probably as good as Iluna Bayas's mood at the moment. The seventeen-year-old girl chose a beautiful plaid skirt, a half-collar knitted sweater and a yellow slim-fitting women's coat. She wore a red scarf and rode a carriage and arrived at Saint Teresa Square early.

In the morning street scene of Saint Teresa Square in winter, although there are no flocks of pigeons, the rising sun illuminates the square, giving the feeling that the city is waking up.

After getting off the carriage, Iluna quickly came to the door of No. 6, climbed the steps, arranged her clothes, and then pulled the bell's cord.

"Xia De said that he wakes up on time at 6:30 every day. I don't know if he is still at home now."

She thought to herself and soon heard the sound of shoes on the stairs. Just as he was about to smile, he suddenly noticed that the footsteps were a little different from Shade's.

When he was wondering who would be at Shade's house so early and could open the door for him, the door was already opened.

Facing the rising sun, Lesiya saw the young girl standing at the door, who was as full of vitality and youth as the sun, and Iluna also saw the girl inside the door who was wearing a home dress and an apron. , a beautiful lady with standard blond hair and blue eyes.

The blonde girl has a peculiar elegance. Although Iluna doesn't know that this is because her soul is Lesia Cavendish, she still has the feeling of "I am not as good as her" in her heart:

"Well, Miss Dorothy Louisa?"

Iluna tentatively called out the name.

Of course she knew the female writer who collaborated with Shade, and Iluna liked the novels she wrote very much. As for the relationship between Dorothy and Shade, Iluna also vaguely guessed from Luvia's description, so she found that it was Dorothy who opened the door for her at this time. Instead of being sad or jealous, she felt a surge of happiness in her heart. joy.

Iluna Bayas is the most loyal reader of "Hamilton's Detective Stories".

"Yes, I am Louisa, may I ask who you are?"

Lesia looked at the other party hesitantly. The immature youthful temperament unique to young girls was fully reflected in Iluna.

"Iluna Beas."

Iluna introduced herself, Lesia thought for a moment, and then remembered that this was what Shade had mentioned, his collaborator in the church:

"Please come in quickly."

She made way for the door:

"Have you had breakfast? I made breakfast, we can eat together."

Although the meeting between Iluna and Lesia early that morning surprised Shade, there was no contradiction between the two. On the contrary, the two got along very harmoniously. Iluna expressed her love for "Hamilton Detective Stories" while eating breakfast, and Lesia was happy to explain to her "her" thoughts when writing.

The blonde girl saw that Iluna had something to discuss with Shad, so she left early after breakfast and agreed to meet at the doctor's in the afternoon.

After Dorothy left, Iluna told Shade the serious matter:

"Shad, you met Miss Ollie Perry of the Church of the Sun in the autumn of 4791, the fifth era of the Time Key. I found the record in the church!"

At this time, Shade had just come up from downstairs with little Mia in his arms. He was shocked when he heard the news:

"Has it really been found?"

Among the three companions encountered in this adventure, the identity of the middle-aged witch Ms. Maggie Bletchett is not recorded in the Witch Council; Mr. Fred Lyman is a man and cannot be found in history; only that The identity of the clergyman might be found, but Shade did not expect that Iluna could really provide clues.

"Sit down and tell me, what big things did she do in the fifth era? Since it can be recorded by the church, she must not be an ordinary nun, right?"

"To put it simply, in this era, we generally call that nun 'Saint Perry'."

Iluna corrected her seriously.

"Saint Perry? Canonized by the church after his death?"

This is a very incredible honor.

"Yes, she was canonized after her death. But there are very few records about this church saint, which is normal. There are currently two credible records. One is that she is a transcendent, or a witch (note ). The age at the time of death was over 70 years old, at least a high-level person, or a high-level person."

Iluna stretched out a finger, and Shade narrowed his eyes slightly. In this way, the possibility of this nun becoming the winner of the old god's banquet was greatly increased. When he met the middle-aged nun, she was just an ordinary person.

"anything else?"

"The second item is the approximate burial place where she died."

Iluna did not immediately say the name of the place, but looked at Shade. Shade was stunned for a moment before asking:

"In the city of Randall Valley in Carson Creek?"

"Yes, the specific location is not known, and there is no record of it even in the church, but it must be nearby. There are even rumors about the 'St. Perry Cemetery' in the Randall Valley. The local people still have the name 'St. Perry' 'Named streets."

Shade immediately showed a thoughtful expression. Before that, he really thought that this time adventure had nothing to do with the present of the Sixth Age. Unexpectedly, this time key is still connected to the present.

"Why was this nun named a saint?"

"I don't know. There is no reliable record about this. However, there are many legends and stories that are not certain. It is said that the nun sacrificed herself to eliminate the disaster on the earth. In order to commemorate her, the church also wanted to thank her for what she had done. Everything has given the honor of 'Saint Perry'."

Iluna said, handing the small book she carried with her to Shade. It was a religious book used for prayer that church clergy would carry, and Priest Augustus had one. She told Shade the page number, and the content of the page described the relevant content.

Shade read it carefully, picked up Mia who was leaning next to his tea cup, and then said seriously to Iluna:

"I mentioned something to Luvia last night. The 'Chosen One of the Earth' is most likely to be in the Randall Valley."

He told Iluna yesterday’s speculation about the “Crazy Land” and the news he got from the library last night:

"I have some questions. Can I ask you some questions about the doctrine of the Church of the Sun and Earth?"

Iluna didn't expect Shade to ask this question, so she sat up straight:

"Of course. When I was training in the Holy See, I got close to full marks in these basic theological knowledge."

Shade nodded:

"I only have one question. How does the Church of the Sun and Earth view the relationship between the earth and the sun? I have known you for so long. I most often see you using the power of the sun, and rarely see you using the power of the earth."

Iluna gave the answer:

"In our church, it is generally believed that the earth is opposite to the sun. And our Lord [The Old Man with the Lamp], who unites the earth and the sun, is the god who contains everything."

She explained to Shade carefully:

"The sun is in the sky, and the earth is under the feet. The sun symbolizes the 'supreme', and the earth symbolizes the 'foundation'. The sun represents light and heat, while the earth represents darkness and cold. I know that in ordinary people's perception, The counterpart to the sun should be the moon, but you told me that yourself.”

The seventeen-year-old girl said a little embarrassedly:

"The ancient god [Supreme Sunbinder] and the ancient god [Silver Moon Sage] are twin sisters. The sun and the moon often appear together."

She was still blushing a little after saying this, and little Mia lay on Shade's lap and accepted Shade's caress on her belly. After having a full breakfast, the cat enjoyed the early morning.

"Therefore, the power of the sun and the moon is more like a parallel relationship, while the sun and the earth are mutually supporting and corresponding to each other."

She said softly:

"The rays of the sun shine on the earth and nourish all things; the power of the earth nourishes all living things, allowing ordinary people to look up to the sun - may the eternal blazing sun shine on the earth - this is our core teaching."

Shade nodded slightly:

"In other words, from the perspective of the Sun Church, the sun is as important as the earth."

"Yes."

Iluna answered in the affirmative, which made Shade have more guesses about Sister "Olly Perry". Iluna is good at the power of the sun, and Sister Perry may be good at the power of the earth after becoming a witch.
