Whispering Verse

"Of course there is no problem with Earl Granger, but the connection between the Granger family and the Guardians, and even the Chosen One, will definitely not be what it is now. I plan to visit the Granger family's old family cemetery. It’s one of the clues about the key.”

Shade said, taking the key from Luvia:

"In addition, the guardians must know what this key represents. Those souls are afraid of the devil. Therefore, look for those dangerous crazy lands locally. If I cannot solve it alone, the guardians will definitely risk appearing again. .”

He said this word very carefully. Luvia, who had already known about it, was not surprised, while Miss Benanis and Miss Lassus frowned:

"What?"

"We are in St. Perry Cemetery. The departing nun once said that there are not only guardians but also evil forces in the area. Now it has been proved that the evil forces refer to an ancient evil spirit."

Shade's expression remained unchanged:

"Yes, I have known about this for a long time."

"Why didn't you tell us before!"

Miss Bernanise's voice suddenly became louder, and she looked at Shade angrily:

"So, you are running around the city these days, are you investigating alone, investigating the evil spirits and demons of the third era?"

Miss Lassers was not angry. She looked at Shade very worriedly:

"It can't be related to that Stone Oxenfurt, right? You should have told us."

"I don't tell you because I don't want you to get involved. But I tell you now because I have determined the identity of the devil and have the power to fight against it. However, I still don't know what it is planning. I don't know what it is." What is the purpose of cooperation with cultists?"

Shade looked at the three ladies, focusing on the angry Miss Benanis:

"You have nothing to do with that devil. It is afraid of the Zhengshen Church and will not easily involve people who have nothing to do with it, so I didn't say anything. That guy is very scary. Even the guardians are afraid of its prying eyes, so they don't say anything. Dare to show up directly."

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Miss Benanis stopped talking, and Miss Lassus asked worriedly.

"I have a secret weapon, but it's not local yet, but it's definitely fine. In addition, I got a large number of alchemical items for exorcism, which are in the suitcase I'm carrying. You can see how to put them away later. Well, the girls of the Golden Dawn should need them too.”

Shade pointed to the suitcase next to the sofa, and Miss Lassers' face showed more worry:

"It seems that the progress on my side will also be accelerated. If so, everything will be explained. In addition to trying to maintain the normality of the earth, the guardians also have their own powerful enemies."

"You don't have to worry about the devil, Miss Benanis. Please help Miss Lassers re-walk the path that Mr. Lasses walked as soon as possible. This is very important."

Shade frowned slightly:

"In addition, if possible, please let Miss Lassus master the power of the earth as soon as possible. No, it is necessary, within half a month."

The blonde witch was stunned and looked at Shade suspiciously:

"I remember you said that one of the characteristics of the chosen ones of the earth is to master the power of the earth."

Luvia looked at Shade, saw him nodding, and said softly:

"The Parliament should know by now that there are so-called lower-ranking candidates among the chosen ones. For example, the chosen person who died was Joy Barton, but the one who actually performed the ceremony was Sister Devlin."

"Do you think I am the next candidate for the chosen ones of the earth?"

The young blonde tilted her head and pointed at herself.

Shade nodded:

"It's just a guess, but in order to be fully prepared, if possible, it wouldn't be a bad thing to master a power of the earth as soon as possible."

He thought about the end of the adventure of the previous time key. Among the two ladies who attended the banquet of the Butterfly God, the witch Bletchett obtained a power of the earth, and she belonged to the Order of the Forgotten:

"The Forgotten Order has been developing locally. Haven't you recorded any power of the earth?"

Even though he had already asked it once, Shade still raised this question, but Miss Lassus shook her head in embarrassment:

"Including Ms. Brechet, the witch of the Fifth Age you mentioned, we can't find any relevant records."

The witch on the side has not yet recovered from the topic of demons:

"Isn't this the first time you've encountered a demon?"

She said suddenly, and Shade nodded, looking at the calm liquid level of tea on the coffee table in front of him:

"Don't look at me like this after three encounters last year. I have special methods for dealing with demons."

"The three you mentioned don't include human pus, right?"

Miss Benenice looked at him:

"That incident happened outside Tobesk, and Carina was also involved. Then you have admitted that you were involved in the Pantanal incident, and both times Miss Mana Feliana appeared, that is, The founder of your academy in the fifth era. Now, I know that your time key journey is somewhat unusual."

Her beautiful green eyes with golden eyes looked directly into Shade's turned eyes:

"It seems like Carina and the others were not joking when they said you were very useful."

Shade shook his head slightly:

"In short, the investigation in my hands has reached almost the final step. If there are no clues in the Granger family's old cemetery, then all I have to do is wait. It seems that I will be able to relax for a while after half a month. I wonder if Ma How are things going with Gretel?"

Miss Lassers replied:

"Margaret's negotiations with the Stonemasons Guild have made a good start. She will come to report the progress to Bernanice tomorrow. Moreover, we have figured out the specific functions of the two Holy Grails you gave us last night. ”

As she spoke, she asked the servant outside the door to help fetch the two Holy Grails:

"The function of the Holy Grail of Memory is very simple, which is very similar to some of the powers of our order. Inject water into the Holy Grail, and then drink the water, and the memory will be enhanced within a certain period of time. The effect is simple, but very practical."

She put the Holy Grail that Shade got from Watson Manor on the table, and picked up another one:

"The Holy Grail that you and Vanessa obtained from the Night Temple is a little more troublesome to determine its effect, but fortunately you can read the runes, and based on the meaning of the runes, you also tried out the general function. In fact, it is not called ' It’s better to call it ‘pregnancy protection’. It has a literal function, allowing pregnant women to take the wine taken from the Holy Grail to make childbirth smoother.”

Miss Lassers said, placing the second Holy Grail on the table:

"Water can also be used, but the effect is not as good as wine. Benanis entrusted Grandma Cassandra and asked Sister Devlin to check the literature. It seems that in the teachings of the earth gods, it is generally believed that wine is the blood flowing from the earth. It has the ability to nurture all living beings.”

"I thought this was a legend made up by the owners of the winery to sell their goods."

Shade said that in this way, he would have five Holy Grails in his hands. The functions of other Holy Grails are not irreplaceable. Only the function of the "Holy Grail of Conservation" is somewhat unique. He plans to donate it to Snake if the "Holy Grail of Conservation" has not been consumed after the incident in Randall Valley. Heart Hospital, Sister Devlin's hospital specializes in delivering babies to the poor.

Seeing that Miss Benanis was still a little angry, Shade took out the red wine again:

"Want to have a drink together?"

Miss Lassus and Luvia both saw that Shade wanted to appease the witch's little anger, so they both smiled and said nothing. The blonde witch took the wine bottle from Shade's hand:

"Since I'm in the Randall Valley, if anything dangerous happens in the future, remember to call me."

"Yes, yes. Speaking of which, do the other ladies from the Witch Council have any plans to come over when? I'm looking forward to meeting you."

At this time, Vanessa Benenice's anger was indeed transferred to other aspects.

Just like that, a somewhat relaxing Tuesday ended. And when Shade returned home that night, besides Mia, there was also the princess who had used the body of the blonde girl waiting for him at home.

On Wednesday morning, while Lesia was humming a song and making breakfast in her pajamas, Shade set up a projection ceremony in the living room. After determining the time, he threw the burning parchment into the basin and sat on the chair.

The vision in front of him became blurry. After it became clear again, Shade came to the center of the St. Byrons Library again. The huge metal planetarium surrounding the luminous sphere rotated slowly under the dome overhead, while Miss Denister was still sitting on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, waving the students who were helping to prepare for the ceremony to leave temporarily.

In the early morning, the St. Byrons Library was already full of energy as at the beginning of the day. There were quite a few students who came to the library to borrow books and study. Compared with them, Shade was indeed a bit lazy.

The librarian lady spoke first:

"It's a good habit for you to come to me and ask for advice once a week. After I finish what I'm doing, we can actually agree on a time for you to report your study progress to me once a week."

Shade felt that the nerve endings at his temples seemed to hurt:

"Speaking of which, what are you busy with now? Is there any new progress in the investigation of the ruins of Karas Mountain?"

"No, I'm glad you care about this matter. But I'm busy with college affairs, going on a business trip to Randall Valley, and I won't be back until spring. Although it's only for a month, I still prefer the environment of the college. .”

The sorceress said melancholy:

"But during this period, you can still contact me, but I may be a little slower in replying to messages."

"it does not matter."

"So Shade, why did you come to me this time? Has Yue Dream's study made progress?"

She raised her eyes and looked at Xia De, who shook his head hurriedly:

"Moon Dream still has some difficulties. Actually, I want to seek your opinion on choosing thaumaturgy for the new spiritual runes."

As he spoke, he had already summoned his own life ring. Miss Danister tilted her head slightly to look, and then she was surprised to see two more spiritual runes on Shade's life ring:

"Let me confirm, if my memory is correct, the last time we met was also Wednesday."

"Yes, seven days ago, it was the same morning as this time. I remember it very clearly."

"At that time, your five rings only had one Whispering Spirit rune?"

"Yes, Whispering [Puppet]."

"So, within a week when I thought your learning progress was too slow, you actually got two spiritual runes?"

"Yes, miracles and blasphemy."
