Whispering Verse

"Compared to the Witch Council, the Church of the Five Gods is more willing to let the guardians become the chosen ones. However, the church also believes that the special existence form of the guardians may cause big problems. Of course, this is also because of all the chosen ones so far. , except for Iluna, everyone has a big problem."

Sister Devlin said, Shade felt that the eyes behind her blindfold were "looking" at him:

"So what's your opinion, Shade? I once said that although I attend the Witch Council and have a good relationship with the True God Church, what I follow is the fire-wielding hero who came into contact with the original fire from my hands."

Although her statement was strange, Shade also understood that she actually cared more about her opinion of the chosen one:

"I have discussed it with Luvia and Iluna. I understand that the Witch Council wants the chosen one to be Miss Lassus, but we still think that the best result is to let the guardian become the chosen one. , to prevent other mistakes. However, this not only requires stopping the conspiracy of the local demons, but also requiring timely attention to the status of the guardians. At present, unless the guardians take the initiative, no one can find them."

Shade stretched out his finger:

"On Friday night, I will enter the manor of the guy who signed a contract with the devil. At that time, Sister Devlin, I hope you can wait for my news outside the manor. I will give you a playing card. After you receive the signal, , enter the manor immediately and help me send away a soul."

Sister Devlin and Luvia had a way of talking in the fire, so she knew about this in advance:

"No problem. But the church's divination shows that the first Randall flower will bloom in early spring this year on Friday or Saturday. There may be a conflict in time."

"If there is a time conflict, you will follow the church's team to deal with the chosen one. I have more than one hand prepared for that devil. Ms. Marilyn Handel and Joy Barton have also arrived. Of course. , if there is no conflict in time, it is best to wait for my news outside the manor."

Shade said, squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment:

"Sister, I know that your spiritual order has a unique ability to perceive the world. Therefore, when you were at Fort Midhill, you were able to know in advance that the narrow room was out of control. When you came to Huntingdon for the first time with me, you were also able to foresee it in advance. To the strange movement of evil things in the Pantanal. So, what do you think of the Randall Valley, the land beneath our feet?"

The nun was silent for a moment:

"Like pieces of rotten flesh. This distortion is not caused by external factors, but caused by the decay of the world itself. The changes in the earth are the first sign of the end."

Shade sighed slightly:

"I understand. Although I have known this before, it is still difficult to accept it when I hear you say it. After all, let's talk about the end of the world today. I will go downstairs to meet Miss Aurora. Wait until next week Five, please come to the Fertile Land Hotel, and I will talk about what happened tonight."

"please wait for a moment."

Sister Devlin stopped Shade and walked towards him.

She silently stretched out her left hand, palm upward. Shade raised his eyebrows and put his right hand up.

In an instant, sparks jumped out from where their hands touched, and then red flames swept from the two arms to their bodies.

Sister Devlin said softly:

"A fire-wielding hero should not suffer from illnesses like fever. It is absolutely impossible under any circumstances."

Shade felt the hot fire flow, as if it wanted to penetrate into his body, and then he realized that it was Sister Devlin who was using the flame to check her body.

So he didn't resist and allowed the flames to spread all over his body. The whole process lasted for a full five minutes. When the flames gathered in their hands again, Shade took the initiative to retract his hand out of gentlemanly demeanor. The nun hesitated and resumed the action of putting his hands together:

"There is nothing wrong with your body."

"If you have time, you can reveal the fact that I am healthy to Luvia. Since I had a fever last week, she seems to have been worried that I will get sick again."

Although Shade said it lightly, he was actually relieved.

But the nun whispered again:

"I can't explain why you had a fever last week."

"Probably because of that pink vial, Sister, you were there when [Desire] was given to me by the water on the island in the middle of the Pantanal Lake. So, you understand that that pink vial can't be used more than once. I've already got it I’ve learned a lesson. If it’s not necessary, I won’t use it casually in the future.”

Sister Devlin just nodded silently, while Shade thought of another thing:

"In the hands of the devil, there is a kind of flame that will never go out. I don't know what the flame is, but I think maybe the original fire will be willing to devour it. In addition to firewood, haven't you also been collecting all kinds of strange things? Fire? When the devil thing is over, I will bring you that fire, that's what I promised."

This time, Sister Devlin actually had a faint smile on her face:

"Compared to flames, you are the most important to me. You must be careful when fighting against demons. Even if you have that sword, you must still be careful."

"Don't worry, it's not me who really has to face the devil."

Shade said.

After leaving Snake Heart Hospital, Shade returned to Miss Benanith's manor with Miss Aurora and Hailey. Everyone is here today, and the huge dining table is full of people.

Miss Bernice, the owner of the manor, is still sitting on the main seat at one end of the long table. On her left is Shade, and on her right is the other owner of the manor, Miss Lassers.

Next to Shade were Luvia, Miss Sylvia, and Miss Swift. Next to Miss Lassers were Miss Aurora, Miss Carina and Hailey.

As for Tifa, she insisted not to sit down with Miss Carina, so she acted as the head maid and commanded the maids.

"The last time four great witches appeared together at a table other than the stone table in the parliament was when Sylvia's teacher passed away due to an accident."

Miss Benenice sighed, looking at the people at the table:

"My manor hasn't been this lively for a long time. Why don't you wait until the incident in Randall Valley is over and have a party at my place?"

"We wait until the event is over to make plans. Personally, I don't like discussing the celebration party before the big event begins."

Miss Aurora said that although she was not sitting in the main seat, in fact, as the third seat of the parliament, she was still the commander of this incident.

"Xia De, how are your preparations going?"

The witch asked Shade again, and Shade nodded:

"I'm going to see the demon on Friday night. I should be able to completely resolve the local demon issue."

"We got a new canto fragment from St. Byrons. This ceremony of the chosen ones will probably start at dawn. So, do you need us to assist you near the manor?"

The red-haired duchess asked with concern, Shade shook his head hurriedly:

"Just pay attention to the affairs of the chosen one. I have always said that I will handle Oxenfurt's affairs by myself. Besides, I have already discussed it with Sister Devlin, and it is enough to have her help me."

Then he said to Luvia:

"When the time comes, I will ask the nun to help me carry the [Night Watch]. I will carry the [Demon Hunting Seal] myself. At the last moment, I will let the devil know that I have a small amount of the power of the witcher, which can confuse it better. Just wait for my news in the city."

The purple-eyed girl pursed her lips and was about to speak, but at this moment, the maids served everyone the first main course "Randall's Bass". This time was different from the past. Luvia was not in Tobesk but in the Randall Valley, so she also wanted to follow Shade instead of silently waiting for news at the Wilde Opera House.

After lunch was over, Miss Swift found Shade alone. The girl with long flaxen hair held a lacquered wood box and handed the last green hexagonal gem to Shade:

"Is this what you're looking for?"

After Luvia's divination, Shade entrusted Miss Swift to search in the warehouse of the local auction house. He didn't expect to find it so quickly.

"it is this!"

Shade took out three other gems, compared the size and texture of the emerald with other gems, and then nodded with certainty:

"Yes, no problem. Miss Swift, I really don't know how to thank you and Grandma Cassandra."

"Please don't be so polite."

The flaxen-haired girl smiled and said:

“This gem is actually not on the local auction house’s inventory.

This was acquired by the person in charge of the auction house when it opened locally more than a hundred years ago. The person in charge passed away due to illness more than fifty years ago. I found the notebooks and diaries he left behind, and found out that he had obtained them from a fortune teller who came from out of town and did not belong to the Prophets Association. This gem. At that time, the fortune teller said that this gem should belong to the Randall Valley. He brought it according to the guidance of fate, and after completing this matter, he could receive the gift of fate. "

It seems that Miss Swift investigated in detail:

"Because it was purchased in my own name, and there were accounting problems in the early days of the auction house's establishment, this gem has been lying in a local warehouse. If I were not here this time, but you went to the auction house to find it yourself, it would probably be difficult. It’s so easy to find.”

"That's why I want to thank you even more. To be honest, although you always see me busy, there is still a limit to what I can do by myself. Oh, Miss Swift, how can I thank you?"

The flaxen-haired girl thought for a moment, looked at both sides of the corridor, and then asked softly:

"How about a kiss?"

She pointed to the side of her face, and then looked at Shade with a smile.

"I think it's okay."

So Shade kissed her gently, but he was still a little confused:

"I see that you are in a good mood these days. Did something happen?"

"because."

The young girl is in a really good mood:

"I met Princess Margaret."
