Whispering Verse

The purpose of Shade's visit to Mr. Bernhardt so late was of course not to brag about what he had done at the banquet, but to entrust Mr. Bernhardt's priest friend at the Peace Church to find out through the church's relationship. Let’s take a look at the time when Professor Drake went to find the Lady of the Lake more than ten years ago. Did any strange things happen in the city?

This is quite easy for the church's magicians, because there is no limit to querying this kind of basic information. Mr. Bernhardt agreed and promised that Schade would get the results on Sunday:

"But are you still investigating about the Lady of the Lake? This is a legend I have heard since I was a child, but our family has been living here for generations, and no one has ever noticed the authenticity of this story."

When saying goodbye to Shade at the gate of the manor, the gentleman asked again. Shade shook his head, turned over and rode the horse:

"It's something else. Something has happened in the city of Huntington, something is happening now, and something will...happen in the future."

After saying that, he waved his hand and then disappeared into the night on horseback. The middle-aged vampire looked at Shade's back suspiciously, and then thought of a series of things they experienced at Fort Midhill in the autumn:

"Could something big happen in Huntingdon...Oh, my lord, should I go somewhere else for shelter?"

After returning home from Huntington, Shade projected himself from his home to the St. Byrons Library at the agreed time. He met and informed Miss Denister that he had seen the "Guiding Moon" .

Miss Denister took this matter very seriously. After learning that Shade had already talked to the other party and confirmed that the other party was connected to the local Serkses Correspondence Ring Warlock Group in Tobesk, the thirteen-ring female The warlock praised Shade without hesitation.

She has already made an alchemical item that can collect spiritual light. Because this matter cannot be known by the academy, it cannot be sent to Shade through the poem manuscript pages. The item will be mailed to Shade's home via regular mail from the property controlled by the college in Delrayon on weekends.

What Shade needs is to use the alchemy item to collect spiritual light when the "Guiding Moon" reveals its life ring. If the core spiritual rune "Guiding Moon" can really replace the core spiritual rune "Yellow Moon", then the [Silver Moon Library] left behind by Ancient God Silver Moon might be found before the end of this year.

"Speaking of which, Miss Daniste, when can I come to the library in person again?"

Shade didn't forget to ask before leaving. This was of course for the one third of the "time perception" tablets that were suspected to exist in the college library. Although his spell [Library Search] cannot be fully effective in the projection state, if he comes and casts the spell in person, he might be able to find the stone slab.

"Wait until the role of the Guiding Moon is confirmed."

The thirteenth-ring sorceress held her face and sighed in annoyance:

"I hope it will really work. Otherwise, we can only hope that the 'Yellow Moon' core spirit runes will take the initiative to appear in front of us."

(Little Mia is running...)

At the end of the adventure in the Cadiz Library in the Deadly Valley, the knowledge promised by the old god [The Gray Sage] is now suspected to be divided into three. After the order fell apart, they are held in the St. Byrons Comprehensive College Library and In the hands of the Apna Library and the Priory of the Guides of Light.

Among them, the stone tablet in the hands of the Priory was exchanged by Shade from Mr. Edmond in Coldwater Port at the cost of the fragmentary content of the poem in "The Secret of Immortality". It took more than half a week for the slate to be delivered to Mr. Edmond, and it was early Friday morning when Shade saw the slate.

It's interesting to say that probably because he slept too much at Carina Manor on Wednesday, Shade actually violated his own biological clock on Friday morning and opened his eyes before six o'clock and saw the familiar ceiling in the bedroom.

He tilted his head and glanced at the cat next to the pillow. The cat was curled up into a cat ball and still sleeping, because the breathing "cat ball" was contracting and restoring in small steps back and forth in a regular manner. It wasn't until Shade got up that the alert cat opened his eyes. He got up in a daze and found that it was not yet time for breakfast - he knew that the milkman hadn't come yet, so after a "meow~" moment, Then he fell on the bed again.

Because he got up very early, Shade went to Coldwater Port alone after breakfast. First, I went to Aurora Manor and changed out of my clothes that were soaked in sea water. When I saw Mr. Edmond, it was only eight o'clock, but by that time there were already other customers coming to trade in the old lighthouse.

Shade stood on the sea cliff looking at the sea and blowing in the wind. After the three-ringed warlock wearing a ridiculous monkey mask left, he walked into the tower.

"Good morning, Mr. Edmond, has the slate I asked for arrived?"

Shade said hello and sat down. The old man seemed to have had breakfast, and there was a smell of boiled eggs in the tower.

"Here we are, I thought you would come on the weekend. Wait a moment, I'll get the goods."

As he spoke, he followed the spiral staircase to the upper level of the lighthouse. While Shade was looking at the new fish specimens that appeared in the tower, the old man came back holding a mahogany box. The box is designed to be opened, and a copper lock is hung on the small lock.

This design seems unnecessary, after all, the wooden box is not difficult to destroy. But Shade, who gradually enriched his knowledge of occultism, was able to see that the lock itself and the lines on the wooden box formed an exquisite ritual. If you don't open the lock, even if you destroy the box, you will never be able to "get" the contents of the box.

Mr. Edmond opened the box with the key and pushed it off the table to Shade. Shade immediately raised his eyebrows after opening it. The wooden box, which was larger than a palm, had a very thick lining. On the lining, there were four slates wrapped in silver corners, which were only the size of an adult's hand. This can probably be used by Xiao Mia as a surfboard.

Specifically, it is about the size of a small, portable book that someone would carry on a long train journey. The Guiding Hermitage has kept it very well, with almost no trace of time visible. The surface of the stone is smooth, with only a few scratches that are difficult to see.

"Little Mia won't like surfing."

Shade thought in his mind, and then said with a smile:

"Based on its appearance, this is also a very good piece of art."

He reached out and took the slate out of the box. He thought that there would be no words or patterns on the upward side, but there would be on the other side, but the result was much beyond expectation. There was only an ancient rune representing the number "two" on the other side.

"After this item came into our hands from the disintegrated Old God Order, except for a few lucky guys who obtained spiritual runes or thaumaturgy through touching it, no other more specific function has been analyzed so far. We can only confirm that this item It’s a book. If you can find a way to understand its function, don’t forget to tell us how to interpret it.”

Mr. Edmund said, and Shade frowned. He originally thought that this kind of stone slab was the same as the ancient books from the First Age in the Gaddis Library. You could get the content by reading the name. Now it seems that he wants to It's still too simple.

He hurried back home with the slate. He was still worried about how to obtain the knowledge in the slate, but when he swam from the bottom of the sea to the cave under the sea cliff and saw the statue of the ancient god [Primal Crack] behind the hidden wall, Shade was again There is new inspiration.

The great sage in gray robe once said personally that although he seemed to have inherited the power of the ancient god [Secret Keeper], in fact the power of this great sage came from the ancient god of the moon [ Silver Moon Sage], because this ancient god has the power of "recorder".

Even when the gods were summoned in the library of Gaddis, the stone slab in the shrine recording the "Poem of Summoning the Gods" also had symbols representing the phases of the moon (Chapter 672).

"Could it be said that to open the content of the slate, what is needed is..."

With his own thoughts and his whole body covered in water, Shade returned home. I went to take a simple shower first, then sat on the sofa and opened the wooden box solemnly.

"Meow~"

Little Mia stretched out her head and sniffed it out of curiosity. After the cat walked away without interest, Shade called out his life ring. Amidst the sound of whistles and bells, rings of life emerged from the scorching steam. The aura radiated from the huge life ring made the orange cat's hair reflect a strange luster.

Shade controlled his core spiritual rune "Silver Moon" to radiate light. When the enlightening spiritual light shone on the stone slab wrapped with silver collision corners at the four corners, the stone slab originally lying in the box seemed to be responding to the spiritual light, and the whole body radiated. The silver light particles automatically floated up in the cat's surprised expression:

"Oh, that's true!"

Shade excitedly grabbed the cat on the coffee table and put it on his lap:

"The old sage also saw that I have the power of the moon, so he set it up in this way, just like the aura of [Time and Space] opens the hidden wall... But for so many years, no one has Have you ever tried shining a spiritual light on it?”

He thought suspiciously, and "her" murmured his doubts:

[Perhaps, it’s just because other people are not smart enough. 】

"Yes, [Grey-robed Sage] prepared this gift for me."

The stone slab under the enlightenment light of [Silver Moon] exudes a faint silver moonlight. Originally it only had a very weak miraculous element, but now the overflowing miraculous element is like a magical item in a church.

"Very good, the answer will be revealed next, whether this really contains the knowledge of time."

Shade tried to reach out to the stone slab. When his hand touched the glowing stone slab, a stream of silver light rushed to Shade's fingers. At the same time, the carvings of the silver moon suddenly appeared on the originally smooth surface of the stone slab.

Surrounded by the olive branch pattern is the clearest silver full moon, and the notch just flickered for a moment and then disappeared. The traces of light pouring into his fingers have already sent the complicated and confusing knowledge into Sha De's mind.
