Whispering Verse

It's two o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the eighth day of the month of the Wind Rises.

The gray snowflakes that lasted all day turned the woodland outside Randall Valley City completely gray. And in the still-continuing heavy snow, the dark night was not a quiet night. The burning flames, rising smoke columns and the sounds of various explosions made the night seem extremely long.

When Miss Sylvia took Luvia and Siris to see the bright bonfire and the other three great witches beside the bonfire in the forest filled with gravel and black mud, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. .

Miss Carina lifted the restrictions on the periphery of the temporary camp, and an eighth-ring lady led the three of them into the area covered by the light of the bonfire. Miss Sylvia counted and found that although the girl lying on the simple stretcher was being treated with the help of two high-level sorceresses, the number of people in the camp at this time was the same as when they set out, so she felt a little relieved.

However, then she saw Miss Aurora's right arm hanging up with a bandage by the bonfire, so she asked worriedly:

"What's going on here?"

Miss Benenice, who was treating her, replied:

"During the battle, my right arm was accidentally stained with black mud. It was fine before the earthquake, but after the earthquake, the strength of the resurrected fossil monsters was obviously higher, plus I couldn't rest well all night. Hope Wei's condition is not bad, but Nina over there has both legs petrified and her condition is more serious."

She did not continue, because Sirius had already taken out the Holy Grail of Clay from the side pocket of the horse they were riding on:

"Shade asked me to bring just two of them."

The Holy Grail of Healing and the Holy Grail of Memory were handed over to Miss Benenice to prepare the elixir. The girls in the temporary camp, which had been a bit tense, became more relaxed.

The three ladies who came in a hurry also sat down by the campfire and listened to the big witches introducing the current situation:

"Compared to the time in the Pantanal, the enemy strength this time is actually not very high."

Miss Carina asked Luvia to sit next to her:

"The trouble this time is that those black muds, as long as they get stained, you can basically get out of the battle. Xiwei is at level 12, and he can only barely suppress the petrified area on his body from spreading too fast. Nina ·Tiris is a follower of Benanis. He has nine levels. He suppressed it for two hours by himself before needing help from others. If he were an ordinary level sorcerer, he might not be able to hold on for an hour with a high level. .”

"Fortunately, the church did a good job this time. Although the areas of Crazy Land appear scattered, they have not expanded to the extent of being connected into a large area."

Miss Aurora also said that although she was injured, she was in good spirits:

"However, this situation has happened here, and the casualties of the church team are not very optimistic. Although I sometimes think that the Zhengshen Church has too much control, sometimes, they do deserve respect."

"When the earth is purified, the damage caused by the black mud, including the victims of the [Petrified Plague] in the city, should be able to find an antidote."

Hillis tried to be optimistic, but in fact no one knew whether an antidote could be found.

"Where's Shade?"

Miss Carina suddenly asked.

"He is fine. The demon has been dealt with. He now goes directly from the Church of the Forgotten to the Temple of the Night."

Miss Sylvia replied:

"It doesn't matter that he is not dealing with a steady stream of enemies outside the city like you, but he is busier than anyone else tonight."

This great witch of space is the one who knows Shade’s itinerary best, but she did not elaborate on what Shade did.

Miss Sylvia continued to exchange the current situation with Miss Carina, while Luvia looked down at her fortune telling cards. This short rest did not last long, and the ground began to shake again.

There have been countless earthquakes in the Randall Valley area tonight, but this one is particularly different. The sensitive ring warlocks all looked up in the same direction, and the great witches clearly felt that at the moment of the earthquake, the nature of the land under their feet was once again distorted more seriously:

"The protection of the Holy Light!"

"The blessing of earthy fragrance!"

"Legal Purification!"

"Breaking Sky Slash!"

The four great witches worked together to cast spells to maintain the condition of the ground in the camp area.

"The crazy guardian has finally reappeared!"

So Miss Carina, Miss Benanis, Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia stood up in the wind and snow together. The four great witches looked towards the north of their current position. The witch of the earth judged:

"It's not far from our side, no more than a mile."

"Do we need to wait for Shade?"

Sirius asked, Miss Carina shook her head:

"We don't know exactly what Shade wants to do. But since he hasn't come yet, let's try to see how powerful the chosen one is this time. We can't put all the pressure on Shade On the body."

She glanced around:

"The four of us can go there, and others should not follow. Without the blessing of the power of the parliament, the front is very dangerous for all of you."

The holy emblem of the ancient god [Chaos Witch] was painted on the backs of the hands of the four great witches with the blood of pure virgins, so as to borrow the power of the [Witch Council] so that they would not be disturbed by the earth during the battle.

"Sirius and I are also following. If a ceremony needs to be held, at least we can play some role. My power of the earth, the fertility field, can protect the two of us."

Luvia said, Miss Aurora, who was the leader of the witches in this operation, hesitated for a moment before nodding:

"Okay, but don't follow us closely. Keep a little distance. We will try our best to help you clear the enemy from the front."

"Luvia, keep an eye on Siris."

Miss Benanis warned in front of the young blonde girl. The purple-eyed girl nodded. Sirius wanted to explain that he would not have such thoughts, but in the end he did not speak.

So everything continued in an orderly manner, and this temporary camp was reinforced as the rear for the upcoming war, ready to welcome the injured witches at any time. Wherever the guardian appeared, something terrible seemed to have happened to the earth. Luvia's "Power of the Earth - Field of Fertility" could protect only a limited number of objects, so in the end the witch followers of the High Ring were not allowed to accompany the two of them.

Cooperating with the church this time, the great witches did not need to hide their tracks. After getting ready to set off, the four great witches flew directly into the snowy night sky.

The guardian was indeed very close to their location, and the crazy earth agent had no intention of hiding himself.

In the air, I noticed the abnormal fluctuations of spirits from a distance, and when the four great witches lowered their altitude, they saw an astonishing scene.

The guardians composed of hundreds of souls now appeared completely in the form of solid bodies. He was not flying, but was wearing a brown robe, with bare feet and eyes closed, walking on the snow in the forest almost like a pilgrim.

The night could not hide his figure, because whenever his feet touched the snow and the earth, dark mud would gurgling and overflowing from his feet.

This makes it seem as if the black land continues to spread behind the guardian, and this "devout pilgrim" is therefore more like the messenger who brings all disasters.

The soil under the originally soft snow turned into black stones and overflowed with even more filthy substances, so much so that the witches were not even willing to fall to the ground at this moment.

"The destination is."

The guardian's walking route was straight. Miss Sylvia raised her head and looked into the distance:

"The Elrond River seems to be the nameless open space by the river."

In fact, among the four great witches, this space witch is currently in the best condition. Although she followed Shade to Oxenfurt Manor and resisted the monsters that tried to invade the manor when Shade was briefly "coma", that was already in the middle of the night. In the second half of the night, I took Shade into the river valley and took Siris and Luvia into the river valley without experiencing too many battles.

"Want to try it?"

So Miss Sylvia asked Miss Aurora, and the great witch of "light" shook her head:

"Wait a minute, we're not the only ones here."

The four witches continued to lower their altitude and stopped in front of the walking guardian. At the same time, several points of light appeared in the night sky in the west, followed by Miss Maria, the "Nightmare Witch" of the Church of Nature, Ms. Tris Michelle, the "Free Singer" of the Church of Peace, and "The Eyes" of the Church of Dawn. "Blind Secret Keeper" Mr. Christian Klein appeared together.

This was not over yet. From the jungle below, a middle-aged man with a notebook in his hand, wearing glasses, and at least two meters tall also came out.

"Provost of the Thirteen Rings of Serkses Higher Medical School, Professor 'Iron Punisher' Miller Stewart."

Miss Aurora informed the other witches of the stranger's identity.

In order to deal with the incident in Randall Valley, the Five Gods Church mobilized six thirteen-ring warlocks to Randall Valley, and three from the three major colleges. And so far, four of them have appeared here. Because these Thirteenth Ring Warlocks are needed in other places, such as Mr. Granger, the "Earth Shaker", is needed in the city, so it is impossible for all nine Thirteenth Rings to come here.

Therefore, at this time, except for Miss Denister, the librarian of St. Byrons Comprehensive College who had not yet arrived, the Thirteen Rings summoned by the church had basically arrived.

"They were really fast this time."

The red-haired duchess, who had experienced most things because of Shade in 1853, muttered softly and fell to the ground with the other witches.

Miss Aurora prepared to join the church's thirteen-ring warlock with a cold expression. She did not open her mouth, and her voice automatically reached the ears of the other ladies:

"The Bloodweepers from the [Blood Spirit School] haven't appeared yet, and the cultists don't know what they are doing. In addition, these are not necessarily the only ones in the local Thirteen Rings. Although the church claims to have only summoned these people, it may not really be true. That’s all. Be careful and don’t expose your true identity.”
