Whispering Verse

Even Miss Violet is not willing to stay in the Lost Lake area for too long, and she is also affected by it. Therefore, now that it was confirmed that Shade wanted to follow him, he called Miss Teresa, who was wearing glasses and looked very calm, and stood up to prepare to leave.

From the campfire on the island in the middle of the lake to the tower, the visual distance in a straight line is no more than 100 meters. However, due to the special phenomenon caused by the distortion of space and the fog, the distance between the two is actually about 500 meters.

According to early testing, the biggest danger on this journey is losing the correct direction. There should be no enemies in the fog. But to be on the safe side, Miss Violet reminded her two companions to prepare for battle, and even temporarily handed over the [Night Watch] to Shade.

After all, it was impossible for him to run away with the sword, and judging from Miss Violet's attitude, this weapon was nothing to her.

In short, after hanging the relics [Lost Compass] and [Lucky Iron Cross] on her waist, Miss Violet held a ball of fire in her hands and led Shade and Miss Theresa into the fog.

Leaving the campfire range, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. The surroundings were not quiet. Strange sharp sounds sounded intermittently from all directions, making people uneasy. There seems to be malicious peeping hidden everywhere in the oppressive environment, but even with his "other self" Shade, he can't tell what is watching the three of them.

No one spoke during the trip in the fog, and the whole process was extremely depressing. The thirteenth-level power of the Witch Emperor protected them in the form of an invisible barrier, but even so, the three of them reached the bottom of the dark metal tower without any danger, but when they arrived at their destination, Everyone was panting heavily, more tired than after a difficult battle.

There are no material boundaries such as fences around the tower where the god resides. When they crossed a certain invisible "boundary", the surrounding fog instantly dissipated, and their vision returned to normal.

But this also means that the witches and Shade finally came to God's side. God's very existence demonstrates His power. In addition to the fog of loss being dispelled, the evidence is that they were just standing on the periphery of the tower. Even if they closed their eyes and blocked their ears, they could feel what kind of great person there was in the tower.

Foreigners have met gods several times in this world, but every time they can't help but sigh. Compared with these higher-dimensional beings, ordinary things are really fragile and worth mentioning.

"finally reached......"

Miss Violet, who was wearing a pointed hat, recovered the fastest and was looking at the tower seriously. Miss Teresa, the tenth-level witch, silently lowered her head to resist the powerful mental oppression caused by the existence of God itself on mortals.

They can all feel that the air around them is unusually moist, but there is clearly no identifiable water mist in the air. This is the most basic influence of the [God of Lakes] on the environment. Fortunately, this god is a benevolent god. The invisible mist in the air seems to have a healing effect on the spirit. Walking in the mist is more comfortable than the spring breeze.

Shade knew that he had no divinity at this time, so he stood behind Miss Violet and looked at the current black tower. The tower is divided into three floors, and the saint at this moment is undoubtedly on the first floor.

"Be careful and stand behind me."

She said softly, carefully adjusting her clothes. Although the gods did not care about this at all, mortals must show their respect.

"Get ready, follow me to meet the gods. Be careful. Once you find that you can't hold on, don't hesitate to turn around and leave immediately."

Shade had nothing to prepare, but Miss Theresa took out a black rune stone necklace and hung it around her neck. There were white depressions on the rune stone, which formed the meaning of the ancient rune "believer":

"Devil-level relics [Proof of Faith]. Wearing the relics and constantly praising the gods in your heart can slightly resist the influence of the god's existence on the spirit. It has almost no effect when facing evil gods, but it can play some role when facing good gods."

she said softly.

After confirming that her companions were all ready, Miss Violet breathed repeatedly to adjust her mood. Then, as if she was going to die, she reached out and pushed open the black iron door in front of her, and walked in first.

The inside and outside of the tower seem to be two completely isolated and incoherent spaces. After opening the door, the interior is indeed the size and height of the first floor of a tower, but the interior space is a tranquil lake with white mist. There was no ripple in the water, and it was as smooth as a mirror.

In the center of the first floor of the tower, in the center of the small lake, there was a desk, and a woman was sitting behind the desk.

There is also a golden candlestick on the table. On the candlestick are three golden candles at different heights. The strange firelight illuminates the tabletop of the brown, thick and luxurious wooden desk. The lady who looks like she is in her forties and wears a pointed hat like Miss Violet is the god waiting here.

On the table in front of the god, in addition to candlesticks, there were several stacked books and some small bottles. But if you look closely, it's like an illusion in the mist, not real at all.

Shade breathed a sigh of relief. This was not the true form of the god, but the saint who came with the help of a container.

The image of the saint is a lady with blond hair and black eyes. In addition to a pointed hat, she also wears special glasses. The lens on the left is in the shape of a five-pointed star, and the lens on the right is in the shape of an equilateral triangle.

None of the three dared to look directly at the god, and the big witch calmly took off her hat and handed it behind her. Miss Teresa took it neatly and threw it outside the door. Shade inserted the suddenly quiet [Night Watch] into the dirt at the door. He would not go to God with weapons.

God is right in front of him, and his humanoid body occupies the position of "human", but in actual perception, it is larger and more terrifying than the entire weird Lost Lake. Miss Violet didn't even dare to think about the shape of the existence in front of her. She could only empty her mind a little to keep herself awake.

She stepped into the tower formally, stood with her feet on the water, ripples spread around, and bowed respectfully inwards. Compared with other witches Shade has seen, except for Miss Feliana, Miss Violet is undoubtedly the calmest one when facing the gods.

Compared with the thirteenth-level great witch, Miss Teresa's performance is more in line with Shade's understanding. She almost walked into the tower side by side with Shade and stood on the water.

But even with the protection of special relics, Miss Teresa's almost unconnected body tilted at the next moment, and she almost fell on the water. Fortunately, she was supported by Shade in time.

She wanted to say thank you, but found that the man's hand that was supporting her had dense fiery red cracks spreading towards the man's entire body. Looking up again, the fiery red embers had spread all over his body. The fiery red light spots on his clothes even drifted towards the tower with the wind blowing from outside the tower door. After coming into contact with Miss Violet's hair, before disappearing.

The big witch standing in front of the two people also turned around as if aware of it. She was surprised to see Shade's appearance at this moment. After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't recognize what it was.

"I'm fine."

Shade said softly, holding Miss Theresa firmly. Compared to the two witches, he is in pretty good shape now. Although the mental pressure became stronger after entering the tower, he could barely maintain it as long as God had no ill intentions:

"Miss Violet, let's get started."

"You look like you're in better shape than I am."

The big witch muttered, suppressing her doubts about Shade in her heart, and turned around again to respectfully salute the saint who was illuminated by a golden candlestick in the middle of the water, and the latter kept looking at them with a smile.

"Gui'an, the caretaker of the formless water, the lake and the water of wisdom."

She said respectfully, and then asked softly:

"Please give us a test and give us wisdom that the ordinary world cannot touch."

"If you want to touch wisdom, please come closer."

With the gentle words of the saint, the light of the golden candlestick on the table became stronger. The thick fog had dissipated somewhat, and the light from the candlesticks illuminated the three chairs around the table.

Shade noticed that Miss Theresa's face turned pale immediately while she was supporting him, but she did not give up:

“It’s all about thesis!”

She said softly, with such firmness that Shade almost laughed at the serious occasion.

Without hesitation, Miss Violet walked to the desk in the middle of the water and chose the chair on the left. She originally thought that Shade and Miss Theresa would be slower, but she didn't expect that Shade would almost follow her.

After pulling out the remaining two chairs, Miss Theresa naturally did not choose the one in the middle, so Shade sat in the center.

"Wisdom is the wisdom of the wise. Show me the wisdom you have, and you will gain my wisdom."

After the three people sat down, the smiling saint said softly. The voice was so soft, like a trickling stream. Xia De clearly felt that although there were three people here, God was definitely talking to him.

Miss Teresa didn't dare to speak at all at this time. If she wasn't holding Shade's arm, she couldn't even sit still. She was shaking violently, so frequently that even Shade started shaking.

The thirteenth-level Witch Emperor pursed her lips and tried to formulate her words. But Shade really ran out of time, so the outsider, who had rich experience in communicating with gods, asked:

"Hello, god of the lake."

"Hello, beloved of the recorder."

This is another new name for Sha De. Miss Violet, who lowered her head, looked at Sha De in surprise, only to find that Sha De raised her head and looked at the god behind the desk. While her orifices were bleeding, she asked quite familiarly:

“God, please tell me how we can demonstrate our wisdom.”

"You need to complete three tests in exchange for my wisdom."

The saint said in a gentle tone that it was much better to deal with such a kind god than to fight with the blood-sucking god.

"Excuse me, what kind of test is it?"

Shade asked again. If the blood he was bleeding had not fallen to his front and knees, Miss Violet would have thought he was chatting with an acquaintance:

"So, he actually helped me?"

There are clouds and mist on the narrow water surface, and the desk on the water surface fits the atmosphere very well.

The expressions on the faces behind the desk were gentle. Although the bodies of the three people in front of the desk were gradually collapsing, their spirits were exceptionally calm under the influence of God's power. Their souls were so calm that they seemed to be melting into the amorphous water at their feet.

Miss Violet temporarily put aside her suspicion of Shade and heard the answer with him:

"The first test, bring me the crystallization of your wisdom."

ps: The remaining part of the psalm is written about five tests for the chosen ones, don’t confuse it with this.
