Whispering Verse

"Then, does the Church of the Sun record any information about thaumaturgy or incantation with the name 'Power of the Earth'?"

Shade asked again, and Iluna thought for a while:

"I seem to have heard of it. This should be some kind of extremely ancient power. I want to go back and check it out. After all, the church has many magical and magical arts. Even if some information is open to me, I have never seen it. It was in Rand Er Valley, did anything happen?"

"This is a spell to purify the crazy earth. I think that since the power of the earth and the healing aura have such an effect, other spells of the power of the earth may also have similar effects. After all, I am only one person, and the church uses Divine rituals to drive away the madness from the earth are too complicated.”

Iluna nodded:

"Yes, even if it has nothing to do with the chosen ones, we must try our best to repair the land in Randall Valley City. Since you said that even Tobesk has similar problems, it means that the madness of the earth has spread to the entire material world."

"Yes, I will go to Luvia's place soon. What I have seen in the Silver Moon Library has indicated that the Chosen One of the Earth is about to appear."

Shade was about to leave, but Iluna held him back embarrassedly:

"Your neck."

"What?"

Shade tried his best to lower his head, and then saw a clear hickey on his neck. He wasn't sure whether it was the one left by Dorothy last night or the one left by Lesia at breakfast, but it was obvious that even Iluna, as innocent as she was, knew what it was:

"Don't let Luvia see this, or she will be unhappy."

The seventeen-year-old girl blushed slightly, hesitated and asked:

"Does Luvia really not mind?"

"Probably I don't mind."

Iluna tried hard not to show joy, stood up and prepared to leave:

"I have to go to Blackstone Security Company. Today our team will help check the security of Yodel Palace. Then I will leave, and you should also pay attention to safety in Randall Valley."

But she didn't go to the door immediately. Instead, she approached Shade and kissed him gently. Even a young girl will be bold sometimes. The beautiful eyes blinked with a different look:

"Say hello to Luvia for me."

(Little Mia is running.)

The working hours of the Prophet Association in the entire material world are uniform, so Shade found Luvia early in the morning before she left the Fertile Land Hotel.

He told about what he saw in the Silver Moon Library last night. Luvia was originally curious about what happened to Shade. After listening to him finish a series of questions about the "Crazy Land" this morning, she became as aware as Iluna. Here comes the seriousness of the problem:

"Only the ceremony of the chosen one can completely solve the disaster of the 'Crazy Earth'? Oh, then we must find the chosen one of the earth as soon as possible and let the chosen one complete the ceremony."

"Your special divination cannot directly reveal the identity of the chosen one. Therefore, I want you to divine the content of the chosen one's ceremony first."

Shade sat on the desk chair in the hotel room and handed out the two "eye coins" he bought a few days ago:

"I want to prepare the Chosen One Ceremony first to ensure that after the Chosen One's identity is clear, we don't have to worry about collecting troublesome things like the 'Wise Powder Stone'."

"no problem."

She sat on the edge of the bed and took the two coins. After closing her eyes, she threw the coins directly into the sky. When Luvia closed her eyes, Shade clearly saw the shadow of the slightly more mature Luvia appearing behind her, smiling gently at Shade.

The two coins showed traces of rust at the top of the upward arc. The traces continued to spread during the falling process, causing the coins to turn into dust before falling to the ground.

Luvia opened her eyes, a purple light flashed in her eyes, and "Luvia" disappeared.

"How is it? Do you know the content of the ceremony?"

Shade asked hurriedly, Luvia shook her head slightly:

"Two coins are not enough. I only know some of the details of the ceremony. The best time for the ceremony is at the turn of spring and winter every year."

This is the end of the first month of life, and spring is usually around March or April, so there are still two months of preparation time left.

“The general outline of the ceremony is to hold a grand banquet—the feast of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Just like what you said, the banquet is not only a ceremony for the chosen ones, but it can also heal the madness and resentment of the earth. Regarding the ancient gods, my special divination effect is very poor, and there are not enough coins. The only content I know so far is that the original [Ritual·Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess] was split into three parts in ancient times. Although the complete ritual cannot be obtained directly now, you can also collect the other three rituals and reassemble them into the original ritual. "

"What three parts?"

Shade is ready to record.

"First, the God Summoning Ceremony [Contact the Old God - Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly]."

Purple eyes looked at Shade:

"That's right, it's the god that your current time key corresponds to."

Shade took a deep breath and nodded:

"Miss Blechet, the witch of the fifth era, promised to tell me the contents of the god-summoning ritual they used after the mission is over. I think I can get this ritual."

If he couldn't get it in the past, things were in trouble. The old god [Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly] is a god who has left, and his order has also disappeared long ago. In other words, it is basically impossible to find any information about this ritual now in the Sixth Age.

"Second, the God Summoning Ceremony [Contact the Old God - Earth-Shaking Worm]."

"It's actually another god-summoning ceremony. Although the old god [Earth-shaking Worm] is an evil god, he has already left. Wait, the old god [Earth-shaking Worm]?"

Shade was stunned, then smiled and said to Luvia:

"Do you still remember my second-ringed spirit rune [Shock]? I once told you about its origin."

"Yes, the witch Sivi Avora took you to see the old lady Ilar (Chapter 457) who lives in the town of Hekils near Coldwater Port. You once said that she is the old god-Earthquake The last priest of the sect of God [Earth-Shaking Worm], and also the last person of the sect.”

Luvia also smiled, and Shade nodded immediately:

"Yes, she is in charge of the last secrets of the Order, and hopes that after her death, those knowledge, secrets and classics will belong to Miss Aurora so that they will not be lost. I will contact Miss Aurora as soon as possible, I think There should be records about the god-summoning ceremony in the cult’s classics.”

"There is also the third part of the split ritual, which is still the god-summoning ritual."

Luvia's thumb was bent toward the palm to touch her little finger, while her index finger, middle finger and ring finger were raised:

"Ritual-Contact the Old God [Stone Heart Demon]"

Upon hearing this name, Shade immediately frowned. Unlike the first two gods, the old god [Stone Heart Demon], known as the God of Stone, is the evil god who has not left yet, which means that this god still exists. Its sect was relatively active in this era. Although it had no influence in Delarion, it often appeared in the southern region of Kasenlik. They are dedicated to turning all mortals into stone, seeing this as the best gift to the gods.

And this god also possesses power that is no less powerful than the [Lord of the Blood Feast] that Shade came into contact with. The most recent recorded divine descent was about 1,200 years ago. That divine descent turned the entire city into black stone. Everything within the city, whether dead or living, has undergone such a transformation. And that land was filled with death and curses for the next two hundred years, making it completely uninhabitable until it was cleansed.

The only information Shade knew about the evil god's descending ceremony was that the god's descending carrier could be flesh and blood or an artistic stone sculpture. This is something briefly mentioned in St. Byron’s Basic Theology Course to illustrate that the coming of a god does not necessarily have to be in the form of flesh and blood.

"This is a bit difficult to handle."

Shade thought for a moment:

"Collecting ritual information is secondary. I was thinking that when the ritual - the feast of the Earth Mother Goddess is held, this evil god will not be summoned, right?"

"Shad, you think too much."

Luvia shook her head:

"The God Summoning Ceremony has extremely strict requirements. Although [Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess] and [Contacting the Old God Stone Heart Demon] have similar steps, they are actually completely different. As long as you are sure that you are holding the former ceremony, you will not The latter ritual comes into play so you don’t have to worry about it either.”

"Well, let me first find out what the first two rituals are. It's not too much trouble."

Luvia nodded:

"For the ritual of contacting the evil god, I'm trying to figure it out in the Prophet's Association. The local president said that since last year, the cult of the God of Stone has been active in the local area. Or, use other coins to divine the items needed for the ritual. , Shade, you also need to pay attention to the fact that there are still two months until the ceremony of the chosen one is held. Before that, it is necessary to ensure that the chaos in the crazy land is suppressed. Otherwise, it is possible that even if the ceremony is held, the disaster cannot be avoided. .”

"In addition to my spells, the church can also suppress the spread of the earth problem. I will inform the witches about this and let the council inform the church. There is also the soul of the man I met in the Emerald Dream. He also has [The Earth's Problem] The power of force].”

Shade doesn't feel troublesome about this. He won't take everything on himself:

"I just hope that it won't turn into a big incident that can't be ended. Oh, I received an invitation tomorrow and I'm going to watch a performance at the Wilde Opera House in the evening. Yes, it's the one that the Anjou princess and prince are going to watch. Field, do you want to come with me? After that, the witch promised to sing a song for me."

Shade took out the note and shook it with a smile. The purple-eyed girl nodded and took it, then teased:

"I have heard the name of Miss Vanessa Benenice before, but I didn't expect that she is also a witch. It seems that I will have a chance to meet her tomorrow night. That lady has not performed in public for a long time, so this time it is I followed you and took advantage. Dorothy will be very jealous."

At least Lesia was jealous.

"But how long will it take for you to gain all the favor from this witch?"

she asked with another smile.

"Oh, Luvia, who do you think I am?"

"Iluna told me after the dice story collection that you have words that are 'enough to trick a witch'."

She stood up and gently hugged Shade who was sitting:

"In the past, you always went on adventures alone. Now that I am also in Randall Valley City, if there is any danger, remember to call me and I will go with you. Shade, I will always be by your side. This is our first Promise of."

She didn't understand that in some ways, "Luvia Fiocchi Anat" was also one of the witches "coaxed" by Shade.
