Whispering Verse

The dense clouds attracted the attention of almost everyone outside in the nearby area, and almost all the ring wizards located in the center of Huntington felt the terrifying power.

And on the roof of the mansion, which was almost completely dark, the next second, a fiery red light lit up in front of his eyes.

Emma Sylvia felt the hand holding her loosen, and the fire lit up in front of her eyes. She widened her eyes and saw Shade's back as he stepped forward. In the strong wind and darkness, fine cracks were spreading on his body, and the fiery red light, like burning embers, was pulled back by the wind with little bits of fire.

Feeling the temperature of the fire at such a close distance, she was absolutely certain that this was the "primordial fire."

"That is......"

Shade understood what was in the brass box and what would happen next. Miss Sylvia stretched out her hand to stop him, but Shade just threw her coat filled with items towards the great witch.

Putting the leaf into his mouth, Shade took the initiative to jump to the high sky covered with dark clouds while the witch was panicking and the priest, vampire and princess looked horrified.

Thunder exploded, and the dark lightning in the clouds finally converged into dark thunder, striking downwards.

Even the people fighting in the courtyard all looked towards the roof of the building, looking at the flaming figure colliding with the thunder.

Boom!

After the loud noise, everything fell silent, and the terrifying mental pressure was swept away. The dark clouds above the head immediately dispersed, revealing the brilliant starry sky again. Only the buzzing in the ears proved that what just happened was not an illusion. Only the ring warlocks could see that there were still looming thunders under the starry sky.

Snap!

Shade, who was smoking, fell heavily from a high altitude to the roof of the building. At this moment, the moonlight of three moons simultaneously illuminated him, who was lying on his back. Lines of hot white smoke rose from his body, and all his clothes were scorched black.

What happened at this moment made the young witch a little overwhelmed, but she still bent down and picked up Shade, and then disappeared on the roof of the building.

"Um......"

Mr. Bernhard hesitantly looked at the rooftop, which had returned to calm again, and then asked:

"Who were those two people just now?"

The middle-aged priest of the Peace Church shook his head slowly, walked to the edge of the roof and looked around to make sure that the Truth Society, the cultists, and the two unidentified people had left.

"Your Highness, what do you have on you?"

The priest asked the princess who pretended to be frightened. The latter immediately shook her head:

"I don't know, but you can check my carry-on luggage. I don't have any contraband."

Her spell-casting materials are all in Miss Sylvia's hands, and she is not afraid of being inspected.

"We'll talk about this later, but Your Highness, please remember that these two gentlemen did not show up tonight. Their identities... are somewhat sensitive."

The priest pointed to Mr. Bernhardt and said again, and the princess nodded immediately.

"Let's leave first."

Mr. Bernhardt also said, and then motioned to Viscount Ramadi to go with him, but the Viscount respectfully saluted the princess:

"Your Highness, I am Johnson Ramadi, and I would like to serve you."

After making sure that Princess Margaret knew who he was, she and Mr. Bernhardt left. The latter thought that the Viscount's behavior was very disgraceful.

"Will the truth?"

The priest murmured to himself, and then together with Princess Margaret, they waited on the roof for the church's team to arrive for reinforcements. Miss Sylvia on the other side had already returned to her lounge with Shade's charred "body" in her arms.

The great witch was trembling all over, and put the "corpse" on the sofa. When she reached out to test his breath, she saw the fingers of the charred corpse suddenly trembled:

"Oh~"

Shade sat up straight under the light of the gas lamp, startling Miss Sylvia:

"How are you doing?"

The witch asked carefully, and then saw Shade, whose face was charred, opening his eyes. His eyes were confused for a while, and then he opened his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke:

"Ahem, not bad."

He coughed loudly, then gasped for air. He touched his mouth with lingering fear, making sure that the [Eternal Youth Leaf] was completely chewed up and swallowed. I have to admit that the healing properties of this relic are truly outstanding.

The action of raising his hand caused the black "shell" on Shade's body to peel off, revealing normal and delicate human skin again.

He looked at his arm and confirmed that the expensive formal suit was completely damaged, but fortunately, Lecia had prepared many more outfits for him to attend next week's wedding.

But he was suddenly startled and touched the top of his head again. Sure enough, he found that his hair had also become burnt black:

"This is a terrible time."

"If you are worried about your hair, it doesn't matter. I will help you deal with it. Witches are all good at hair growth."

Miss Sylvia said softly, and Shade breathed a sigh of relief.

[Outlander, you have some understanding of "thunder", "wrath" and "storm". 】

As the voice rang in his ears, Shade calmed down the violent restlessness of his heart, still experiencing the feeling of being hit by the dark thunder just now:

"Are you sure it has divine power?"

[Yes, judging from the power of that thunder, there is at least a drop of divinity in the relic [Rage of Divine Punishment]. Judging from your perception, it is most likely the divinity of the evil god [Raging Storm]. 】

"As expected."

Shade just rushed towards the thunderbolt. On the one hand, it was because he was the only one among the people with "divine" resistance. The full blow of the angel-level relic was not so easy to block; on the other hand, it was also because he was more resistant to Feel the power carefully.

Now it seems that before the matter of the "Lady of the Lake" has been clarified, he actually encountered a second drop of divinity.

"Miss Sylvia!"

Shade suddenly said, startling the young witch who was distracted and didn't know what she was thinking. Compared to Granny Cassandra, she is indeed not that mature.

"I'm here, are you okay?"

She asked with some worry. The way Shade risked his life to face the thunder just now really shocked her. Looking back now, if Shade hadn't rushed forward, even if she was a tenth-level witch and a tenth-level warlock, she would have been in big trouble.

"I'm fine, I feel great, but I need to take a shower."

He looked at the witch and asked suspiciously:

"What is there in Princess Margaret that is worth the trouble of truth? Is it the book "The Secret of Agelessness"?"

"No, there are only two fragments of the poem above. Although they are precious, they are not worth such a high price for the truth."

Miss Sylvia said, her eyes drifting down, and her cheeks immediately turned crimson:

"You... put on your clothes first."

Throwing the coat that Shade had left to her for safekeeping to him, Shade noticed that all of his clothes were carbonized by the lightning strike. As he stood up, the remains of his clothes also left his skin:

"Sorry sorry."

He reached into his pocket to take out his spare clothes. The great witch also turned her head slightly, then raised her right hand to cover the side of her face, which was to avoid suspicion.

But when Shade was looking for toys, the white middle finger and ring finger of the witch's right hand were slightly separated, and her shy and beautiful eyes looked down from between the fingers:

"Oh~ He is really a man"

Her face turned redder.

After getting dressed, Shade told Miss Sylvia that she could turn around. The young witch still had a blush on her face for some reason, but Shade had no time to think about what was going on:

"It's really interesting tonight. The Society of Truth hired the local [Pantanal Voodoo Society] to provoke a battle between the Voodoo Society and the church, leading to clues about the evil things in the Pantanal. They themselves were in Looking for something I don’t know what it is. It looks like Huntington will be in chaos for a while, and the church will not let go of the Voodoo Society. Miss Sylvia, it seems that your visit to Tobesk will not be peaceful either. , that 'Miss Pavo' from the Truth Society, I'm afraid she will find Princess Margaret again."

"It doesn't matter, at least she's still a sane madman."

Miss Sylvia seemed to be afraid to look at Shade's face. She reached for her handbag and rummaged through the potion for Shade's treatment.

"With you by Princess Margaret's side, coupled with the protection of Serksese and the protection of the church, everything will be fine, and there is Miss Carina in Tobesk."

Shade sat on the sofa and put the new shoes on the floor.

"I invited you to this banquet. I didn't expect that something like this would happen. If you hadn't blocked the thunder in the end... Miss Carina's compliments on you don't seem to be exaggerated at all."

Miss Sylvia said softly and handed a bottle of pink magic potion to Shade. Shade didn't know if he had any other injuries, so he pulled out the stopper and drank the potion. It was a cherry-flavored potion with a very light mint flavor. It tasted very good:

"It's okay. It's my responsibility to protect the beautiful ladies."

The young witch pursed her lips and smiled. She had a preliminary understanding of why Duke Carina Cavendish, whose strength and power had almost reached the pinnacle of the material world, was so "obsessed" with Shade.

Although Shade was still talking to Miss Sylvia, his mind had already drifted to another thing.

After putting on my shoes, I turned to look out the window. After the dark clouds dispersed, the brilliant stars were shining above the mist. Schade found that air quality in all the cities he visited was better than Tobesk:

"I originally came to this city because of the rumors of the 'Lady of the Lake'. Unexpectedly, before the Lady of the Lake was found, I actually found this from the cultists. There are more and more troublesome things."

He thought in his mind that the city of Huntington felt like a giant crawling on the dark plain.

Miss Sylvia also followed him to the window, and looked out the window with Shade. She was paying attention to the movements of the church's ring magicians. After that thunder, the ring magicians of the Pantanal Voodoo Society were already retreating, but the church did not let them go.

[So, do you find it troublesome? 】

"She" asked with a chuckle in the soft evening breeze blowing from the window. Shade's eyes widened slightly:

"Trouble? Of course not."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the dark distance under the night sky. The divinity of the evil god and the divinity of the unknown god. At this moment, two clues are in front of you:

"I want both divinities!"

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

ps1: Now there is only one [Eternal Youth Leaf] left in my hand.

ps2: Shade said that the key will be unlocked after finding the clue to divinity, so the story of the new key will begin soon. Who will he meet this time?
