Whispering Verse

The sorceress introduced:

"This ritual array was drawn for Miss Amplification's large-scale space teleportation. If Miss needs to bring many people back to the Wilde Opera House in an instant, she will need this array as an anchor point for induction. However, the array's It's not easy to draw either. Next we have to take out the 'Distortion Anchor Stone', one of the core landmarks. This thing can easily attract some strange things. Although they are not very strong monsters, it's okay to make a mess here. No, after all, this is not our place."

"Then let's help."

Luvia said to Shade, Shade nodded.

"No problem, I'll turn on the space stabilizing halo."

The "Distortion Anchor Stone" is stored in a box made of lead and is not large in size. And as long as it is placed in the ritual matrix, the power of the ritual itself can shield this strange stone from attracting monsters.

"Ready, three, two, one!"

Shade raised his right foot and stepped on the ground. The invisible shock wave spread by the thaumaturgy even caused the curtain behind the stage to shake. Miss Decker nervously opened the lead box and, with the help of others, quickly placed it on the ground on the southeastern tip of the pentagram.

In the process, the light on the stage, which was originally lit, suddenly dimmed. As the ground turned dark, a group of black cats emerged from the gaps in the wooden floor of the stage.

Or rather, it was just a cat-like creature. It is completely black, has three tails, and has no other organs on its face except for ears and a vertical pupil.

"Meow?"

Little Mia was awakened by the sounds around her, but before the cat could squirm up and look around, the "black cats" that had just jumped out of the ground were "pressed" back to the floor by the power of the "space stabilizing halo" middle.

At this time, the irregular silver-white stone has been placed in the correct position. Light returns, black fades, it seems simple.

"What an amazing power."

Miss Decker smiled and praised:

"It's a pity that you didn't agree to the young lady's invitation to become her apprentice. I'm not trying to make peace with the young lady, but you might want to consider the young lady's invitation again."

After chatting a few more words with Miss Sylvia's followers, Shade and Luvia quickly left and continued the topic:

"I myself also hope that the guardians will become the chosen ones."

Luvia said:

"Although there are problems with their existence, it is undeniable that they are really responsible, which cannot be said."

She turned around and glanced back to make sure no one was there, then asked softly:

"I know you probably won't like to hear what's coming next, but we can't deny the possibility - if a new soul is really needed to join them, have you made preparations for Miss Lassers to leave?"

"There's nothing not to like about this. After all, it's one of the possibilities."

Shade counted the endings in detail:

"The Guardian himself became the Chosen One, Stone Oxenfurt became the Chosen One, Siris became the Chosen One, the Guardian and Oxenfurt became the Chosen One, the Guardian and Siris became the Chosen One. The worst of the five endings is that Stone Oxenfurt becomes the Chosen One, or he becomes part of the Chosen One, which has to be avoided, so I'm definitely going to Oxenfurt Manor tonight.

As for Siris, Miss Benenice and I both want her to stay in the opera house. After all, someone needs to be there to guard her, and you have to keep an eye on her. But the Chosen One ceremony requires five holders of the power of the earth."

He sighed softly:

"I didn't tell her the truth, but she guessed it on her own. She's such a smart girl."

"The Witch Council's intention seems to be to find an opportunity to kill the guardian."

Luvia said.

"Yes, fortunately all the witches here listen to me. What's more, without the Speaker of the Witches' Council, it will be difficult for Miss Benanis and the others to deal with the Guardians alone. The Church will not let them do this either. .”

"The church probably doesn't know about Oxenfurt yet."

"After all, the fragments of the poem point to the first candidate. Without your help, who can be 100% sure of the other candidates? Luvia, you are irreplaceable."

Shade smiled and said to her, and the purple-eyed girl said angrily:

"You don't actually have to say nice things about me like that."

"But that's the truth."

A smile appeared on Luvia's lips.

While the two were chatting, they came to the stage occupied by the girls of the Golden Dawn. Because almost all of Miss Benenice's belongings were local, she could make the most preparations.

The youngest girl among the followers was holding a little clay figurine in boredom by the stage. This was the casting material for [Power of the Earth: Calling Stone Statue].

This time, Shade didn't need any help, but his chat with the girls made everyone more motivated.

After leaving here, when Shade and Luvia walked to the basement, Luvia counted in detail:

"Your healing aura, my fertility field, Miss Benanith's calling stone statue, and the memory of the soil that Miss Lassus has not yet learned. There are only four people in total. I think the guardian himself who held the banquet should not be counted. Be the fifth person?"

"There are still people in the church. There are more than five ring magicians in the Church of the Sun who have mastered the power of the earth. When I see Iluna in the evening, just ask her to send a message to the church. The church will be happy to help. So. , I was hesitating whether I should take you and Sirius with me when I come back from Oxenfurt Manor."

Luvia snorted and made no comment:

"Not just five, I have a hunch that Iluna will also master the power of the earth. This is a very magical girl. She has just never been in the Randall Valley before, so she has no opportunity. I bet that she has a strong interest in the earth. The talent for strength is definitely much better than mine.”

"Although I agree that Iluna can also master the power of the earth, but your talent."

Shade thought about the night when the three girls spent the night at his house on the last day of 1853. Because he had in-depth contact with Luvia's other self in his dream, that is, the soul of long-haired Luvia, he directly attacked Ten The clerical spirit runes of the Three Ancient Gods are responsive.

And because the only difference between Luvia and long-haired Luvia is the difference in experience, theoretically speaking, Luvia also has a strong talent for the earth.

The basement of the Wilde Opera House, in addition to being used as an alchemy and potion laboratory for the girls of the Golden Dawn Opera Company that has purchased the place, is also used to store unused furniture and unused costumes, so the entrance to the basement is Behind the stairs, and the entrance is quite spacious.

When Shade and Luvia walked down the steps together, the dining car for afternoon tea had already been pushed in, but the four witches who gathered together did not move them, but gathered in front of the stone altar placed in the center of the basement. , looked at the water basin on the altar together.

"looking at what?"

Shade asked curiously.

"A memory."

Seeing Shade coming, Miss Bernanis couldn't help but smile:

"It's the memory of the Speaker. She came to the local area many years ago when I decided to join the Golden Dawn, or when Siris agreed that I would take charge of the Golden Dawn. At that time, she also did some additional things, but none of us knew about it. Now , those things worked.”

"whats the matter?"

Luvia asked curiously. She had never met the speaker of the [Witch Council], Miss Isabella, who was a thirteenth-level witch and a thirteenth-ring sorcerer, but she had heard Shade mention this name many times.

"Although the problems in the Randall Valley were not as bad as they are now, there were already signs in the Crazy Land. In addition to confirming that the Golden Dawn could become a subordinate organization of the Parliament, the Speaker also visited many places in the Randall Valley and Foreseeing some things, the great witch of time is indeed extraordinary."

Miss Sylvia followed closely and said:

"She did not prepare any weapons locally for the future. Instead, she drew a huge ritual matrix based on the entire city in advance. She completed these tasks herself, and no one has noticed it yet."

"The Speaker is always able to foresee some things in advance. Although she is not as good as the great witch who talks about fate, but sometimes, I really feel that she can directly see the future."

Miss Carina also said, the four great witches left the basin, Miss Aurora gently rubbed her neck:

"The ritual left by the Speaker can enhance the power of the witch to a certain extent. It also allows the witches operating within the Randall Valley to know each other's positions. This is probably done with the help of the power of the parliament. However, the ritual array needs to be activated. It is not difficult to use it, just use the activated red crystal, I will go there in person later."

"So how are you preparing, Shade?"

Miss Carina asked again.

"I have nothing to prepare. When Sister Devlin left just now, she took my sword with her. I just don't know how long it will take to solve the problem at Oxenfurt Manor."

They sat down at the table where afternoon tea was prepared, and the four beautiful witches and Luvia looked at Shade.

"I will arrive at the gate of Oxenfurt Manor at half past seven in the evening and try to get back here before early morning."

"Miss Lassers and Miss Anat are staying here as commanders. Hailey, Miss Servit and Miss Swift are on standby, ready to follow orders to support."

Miss Aurora said, of course, among them, only Tifa has the highest level. If we really want to help the great witches, Tifa is the most reliable.

"We just saw it upstairs. They were very well prepared."

Shade praised, while Miss Sylvia glanced at her pocket watch:

"It's already two o'clock, Shade. What are you going to do in the afternoon?"

"When Siris comes back from the parliament, she and I will go to the Church of the Forgotten. I promised her to do something yesterday."

"I was supposed to go with her, but she didn't ask me."

Miss Benenice looked at Shade hesitantly.

"Although Siris claims not to care about her father's affairs and has completely accepted his death, I don't think it's that simple. If you talk to her more this afternoon, I'm afraid she will make the wrong decision due to the accumulation of extreme emotions."

Except for Shade, Miss Benanis is the one who least wants Siris to sacrifice among everyone.

"Xia De is the best place to do this kind of thing."

Miss Aurora joked:

"Shad is very good at comforting people. In other words, as long as he stands here, all of us will feel very energetic."

So the girls at the table laughed together. When everyone got together, they always liked to tease Shade.

"I like the atmosphere."

Miss Benenice said softly to Miss Sylvia, and the young witch answered equally softly:

"But it's a pity that councils are not the kind of organization where girls get together to have pajama parties or have afternoon tea."

"Speaking of which, why did you get together? The Witch Council has become what it is now. Everyone in every seat should have many stories, right?"

Shade asked curiously, touching the sleeping cat. The cat felt quite good.

Miss Aurora, who has long wavy brown hair, raised her eyebrows and picked up the cup of black tea; red-haired Miss Carina showed a nostalgic expression and brought the small cake to Shade; blonde Miss Benanis A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she picked up the table knife in front of her; the black-haired Miss Sylvia held her hands together. She saw little Mia's nose twitching a few times, and then she opened her eyes.

"If we have time, we can tell you slowly."

The youngest witch in the parliament had a strong sense of vicissitudes in her words:

"Year after year, we still have a long time. Those stories, Shade, you will know them all one day."
