Whispering Verse

On a rainy autumn day, the rain knocked on the glass, and the weak sunlight illuminated the second-floor bedroom window of No. 6 St. Teresa Square. Shade held Luvia in his arms and said after a long time:

"Oh, no, it's not us. It's little Mia who's too heavy!"

"Meow?"

The orange cat struggled out of the ruins of the bed and looked at him with its head tilted.

"Yeah?"

Luvia laughed in anger, but at least she seemed to be in a much better mood:

"I'm really curious about what you did last night. Even if I maintain a close relationship with you, it's hard for me to imagine that a solid metal bed could be so broken."

She pushed Shade away gently.

"As I said, Mia is overweight, and this bed is a bit old."

Shade muttered, bending down and picking up the cat with explosive hair, which was frightened just now.

"How are you going to clean this place? Do you plan to use your lifespan to restore this bed to the state it was in before last night?"

Luvia asked again, Shade thought for a while and shook his head:

"No, I plan to move to the master bedroom. The bed there has been replaced during the last renovation. I just need to change the decoration style of the room and replace the old desk. As for here, I will let you know this afternoon. Let Lesia's maids help me deal with it. She also said this morning that the decoration style of the bedroom is too old and she wants to help me get some new furniture."

"Have you finally decided to move to the master bedroom? That's great. It seems like you've completely said goodbye to the detective from the past."

Luvia didn't look at the broken bed anymore. She turned to look at the door and suddenly said softly:

"Shad, is the bed in the master bedroom new now?"

"Yes, during the renovation, the bed on the second floor was replaced. After all, it is a dead place."

Shade nodded, but saw the purple-eyed girl bite her lower lip:

"Knight, you should have rested already, right?"

Shade was stunned for a moment before he reacted:

"Yes."

So she asked softly:

"So, would you like to be in the master bedroom."

"Oh! I succeeded! Ha, it is indeed St. Teresa's Square! It is indeed the ruined tower!"

The familiar voice coming from downstairs interrupted Luvia's words. She looked at the door with some displeasure, and walked out of the bedroom with Shade.

At this time, Iluna, who was supposed to be at Fort Midhill, came up from downstairs holding the [Night Watch] and greeted the two of them in a good mood:

"Good morning, Shade! Good morning, Luvia, it's so nice to see you all right away!"

After not seeing each other for a few days, the seventeen-year-old girl is still so energetic. Wearing a brown slim-fitting women's short coat with a white shirt underneath. Her long brown hair was simply tied up and hanging behind her back, and she looked at the two people with sharp eyes:

"Great, you are all here. I found the ruined tower in the mountain according to the location Shade said, and I made it back successfully! Oh, Shade, I received a letter from Sister Devlin. I know you are okay. , but I’m still worried about you, why do you do such dangerous things again?”

Moving through space through the statue of the ancient god requires the establishment of road signs. Except for Shade, no one else can obtain road signs out of thin air by sacrificing white stone crystals. They can only go to the corresponding location and touch it. Iluna once touched the statue in the basement of Shade's house and entered the [Space Maze]. At this time, if you touch the statue there in the mountains of Fort Midhill, you will successfully obtain the second road sign.

Iluna curiously asked Luvia:

"Why are you staring at me? Are there leaves or bugs stuck to my clothes?"

She lowered her head to check her outfit, and the purple-eyed girl forced herself to swallow her breath:

"It's nothing. Sit down quickly. Are you finished with Fort Midhill?"

"The finishing work has come to an end. The church gave me a day off and I will take a steam airship back to Tobesk tomorrow night. In fact, the Diocese of Middleburg still wanted to keep me for a while, but the Diocese of Tobesk sent me a letter asking me to come back as soon as possible. "

She looked out the window with interest:

"Oh, is it raining today?"

Then he handed [Night Watchman] to Shade:

"I got your sword back. When I returned to the church, a mysterious man in black robe suddenly appeared and took the sword away."

Iluna continued to smile and said:

"I've only been away from Tobesk for a few weeks, and I really miss it here. I hope it won't be too cold when I come back. I haven't had time to buy winter clothes yet. Speaking of which, what were you talking about just now?"

Of course, what they discussed just now cannot be told to an immature seventeen-year-old girl.

Shade and Luvia blurred the topic together, and although Iluna took advantage of her vacation to sneak back to Tobesk, she obviously couldn't stay here for too long.

But now that she was back, she briefly explained the current situation of Fort Midhill to Shade and Luvia.

Just like what Luvia said after Shade woke up on Friday, the biggest problem now is not the casualties and damage to the houses caused by the Battle of Fort Mill on Wednesday - there were so many earthquakes that night, which can explain everything. The most difficult thing to explain now is the lush giant tree on the top of Mount Sikal.

Sikal Mountain is very tall. Under normal circumstances, even if the weather is very good, it is difficult to see the trees on the top of the mountain from the city. But Sikal Mountain, which is still under temporary control, will be opened again sooner or later. Citizens who go to the mountain can observe the tree as long as they reach the mountainside.

Apparently, Wednesday night's casualties can be explained by earthquakes, but earthquakes don't make giant trees grow on mountaintops.

In addition, the sealed narrow rooms are not inaccessible now. There are still a few places in the city and mountains where the passage can be opened. At present, the church has sent two groups of teams to enter it and confirm that the narrow room is still the same as before, but almost no souls can be found in it. It’s not that they don’t exist, but they are extremely rare.

The Hazama is jointly sealed by the "Scar of the Holy Tree" and the "Kiss of the Tree", and it is difficult for the souls who died in the Sikal Mountain area to be attracted to the Hazama again. Therefore, although [The Chasm of Life and Death] can still be considered a level 0 relic, there is almost no possibility of losing control.

As a price, the breath of death that escapes into the city and mountains on Wednesday night will make Fort Midhill more likely to be haunted than in normal areas. Therefore, the church decided to expand the number of ring warlock teams in the Fort Midhill Diocese to better monitor the movements of the [Challenge of Life and Death] in the following hundreds of years.

"There's good news, I met your friend Captain Rades!"

After talking about the aftermath of the Battle of Middleburg, Iluna sat on the sofa again, holding a teacup, and said to Shade:

"The captain is fine, nothing happened except a broken arm. He led the soldiers to complete the mission well on Wednesday night, although after the thick fog cleared, they had almost forgotten what they were fighting. , but he will definitely be commended, and maybe he can change from captain to major."

Shade was happy for Captain Rades and hoped that the amulet he gave him had actually worked.

"Although the nun from the Spiritual Order became the chosen one, Shade said that you also inherited part of the power of the chosen person of death. Is there anything to gain?"

Luvia asked Iluna, who nodded and showed them her life ring. As the steam and the whistle sounded, the brass wheel slowly appeared behind her, and the four-color spiritual light illuminated the living room. Iluna turned and pointed behind her:

"There is one more spiritual rune miracle - [Eye of Death]."

"Have you acquired a power similar to the 'Dark Vortex'?"

Shade asked with great interest. Iluna nodded and showed the bone whistle from her pocket. This is the ancient symbol of death given to Joey Barton by the [Truth Society]. Now this bone whistle has been deployed. Full of cracks:

"This item related to the power of the ancient god, because it came into contact with the power when I performed the ceremony, can summon a spiritual horse that can fly for a short time and cross any environment. Unfortunately, this item can only be used three more times."

She handed the bone whistle to Shade and Luvia for inspection, and then said with a smile:

"Beyond that, I can now perceive death more keenly. Eyes given by God."

Glancing at Shade:

"This eye has become even more powerful. Similar to Sister Devlin mentioned by Shade, I can see through this eye the secrets of the soul. In addition, I can see weaknesses. Yes, In everything, physical and non-physical, see their fatal weaknesses and, by attacking those weaknesses, send them to their death.”

"What a pity, it's not Patton's 'destined death'."

Shade said regretfully, while Luvia thought this was enough:

"The current power of that eye is comparable to that of most magic eyes, and it does not have negative characteristics. Now Iluna can be said to have the power of balance, darkness and death at the same time. It's really good, Iluna, you are in Mi Fort DeHier is doing a great job.”

Iluna blushed a little:

"It's mainly due to Shade."

But that's not what Shade cared about. He pointed to Iluna's life ring:

"Now, do you have all the four-ring spirit runes?"

It was clear that autumn had just arrived, and when they recycled the marriage contract together to obtain the spiritual rune [Tragedy], Iluna had just met the conditions for the third ring.

"Yes!"

The seventeen-year-old girl looked even happier and put down the teacup in her hand:

"Enlightenment gained while fighting the dragon on the airship, blasphemies and whispers while at Fort Midhill, and finally the miracles granted by the power of Death's Chosen One."

Iluna's core spirit runes originally had three normal runes, namely Enlightenment - [Hero], [Lucky] and [Thunder]. After becoming the chosen one of "Balance", there was one more core spirit rune - Miracle - 【balance】.

Now, the words of sublimation are connected by spiritual runes——

The [hero] who [chases] [light] will eventually [break free] from the [shackles] of fate.

This is a rare sublimated word that can be composed of two forms.

Among them, [Chasing], [Light], [Hero] and [Escape] are required, but only one of [Destiny] and [Shackles] is required. Of course, different combination methods will lead to different sublimation rituals, and the final form of the sublimation words will also be different. Iluna finally chose [Shackles].
