Whispering Verse

At 8:20 in the evening, Shade's joke about cats and rabbits made Princess Agelina cover her mouth and chuckle. The atmosphere in the salon was lively. Shade excused himself to go to the bathroom, bid farewell to the people around him for the time being, and walked from the room to the corridor.

The door closed the noisy sound inside, and Shade pretended to be calm at last and walked in front of the royal guards. Avoiding the sight of others, he waited at the corner of the corridor for a while before Luvia quietly walked down from the third floor. The purple-eyed girl avoided the area illuminated by the gas lamp and stood in the shadow of the stairs, waving to Shade. Shade followed her from a distance, and after Luvia opened the door of the second divination room on the left side of the second floor, he followed her in.

There were no lights on in the room, and the moonlight outside the window could only illuminate a small area near the window.

Shade was even a little uncomfortable coming to the darkroom from a noisy environment. But he still quickly came to the window and looked in the direction of Yodel Palace. At this time, everything outside was normal:

"How is the situation now?"

"There are no problems yet. Shade, the situation has changed. It's best for us not to get involved in anything tonight."

Luvia leaned against the wall next to the door, looking at Shade who was looking out the window under the moonlight in the darkness. Whenever Shade bathed in the moonlight, she always felt that it was Shade himself who was shining.

"what happened?"

Shade turned around and asked.

"The president is upstairs. Although the Five Gods Church did not send a high-level warlock here, I received a letter from Iluna in the afternoon. She said that all eyes are staring at this place tonight. There are too many people. Everyone is paying attention here tonight, not just Professor Gao Huan from the Truth Society, there are many forces paying attention here tonight. The church wants to use [Jack the Thief] as a bait, at least to find out who dares to reach out."

Luvia whispered:

"And this time is different from Fort Midhill. During the Fort Midhill incident, the Truth Society only sent a very small number of members to test. This time, in addition to Vice President Miss Pavo, there were at least five Professor Gao Huan. As well as the cultists they hired. There is reason to believe that the actions of the Truth in the mountain city in the autumn were for testing, and now they are officially intervening in the affairs of the chosen ones.

Iluna told me that the Thirteen Ring Warlock Iron Right Hand of the Church of Creation and His Excellency the Sunshine Great Sword of the Sun Church are both ready to go. This is not Lakeview Manor, this is the city center of Tobesk. As long as they are notified, they can show up in three minutes at most. "

"Although the Society of Truth is crazy, they are definitely not pure lunatics. Sometimes their rationality is terrifying. Even if the church is prepared, I think they have corresponding methods."

Shade continued to turn his head and look out the window:

"I thought that Miss Paavo would still come to Lesia's reading salon as 'Miss Werther', but I didn't expect to see her at all."

"Do you think she'll show up tonight?"

Luvia asked.

"Of course it will happen. Miss Paavo definitely has more fragments of poems than we thought. Since this kind of ring magician who believes in numbers dares to take action personally, it shows that she has her own confidence."

Shade frowned and looked downstairs at the Silver Cross Avenue. Several people got off the carriage and entered the Yodel Palace. This didn't look suspicious:

"Luvia, let's do some divination now. Just use the ordinary divination method. The content of the divination is what kind of relics will appear tonight."

"Divination is possible, but as you know, divination of relics is usually not very accurate, especially if your description range is very large. If tonight involves a second sage-level relic besides [Jack the Thief], Then there is basically no possibility of accuracy.”

She took out the fortune-telling cards, rinsed them, and softly chanted a spell to make the cards float in front of her eyes. When Shade turned around and walked towards Luvia, he saw Luvia's hands controlling the cards to move quickly in the air. When she raised her head to look at Shade, her eyes showed an extremely beautiful glowing and transparent purple color, which made Shade's heart tremble.

"Choose one."

Luvia signaled, and Shade chose the middle vertical row of cards on Luvia's side. With a flick of his finger, the divination card flipped in the air to reveal its face.

"Divination card game?"

Shade looked at the card suspiciously. This card did not appear often:

"What does that mean? I thought cards representing numbers would be chosen."

"This either means there is something wrong with my divination, or it means that an extremely powerful relic related to the game will appear tonight."

Luvia recovered the other divination cards, and Shade handed her the "game" in his hand:

"I hope it's not the worst case scenario, but since it's related to the materials for the Chosen Ceremony, there's no chance of anything unexpected... Luvia, will you stay in the association tonight?"

"Yes, if [Jack Thief] hasn't shown up after the salon is over, I will go to your house to sit down first. I feel a little uneasy."

"Me too."

Shade nodded and prepared to return to the reading salon. Lecia planned to have him tell a detective story as a special guest in a short session. He wanted to go back in time:

"Hope everything goes well tonight."

He said softly, and Luvia took the initiative to hug Shade and then kissed him.

The moonlight outside the window shone on Shade's back, and the purple-eyed girl stood in the shadow. She was really uneasy.

(Little Mia is running...)

Iluna Beas is getting ready.

The seventeen-year-old girl was wrapped in a black trench coat and stood on the corner of Silver Cross Avenue, leaning against the wall and looking at both sides of the street. Because tonight's matter involves the chosen one, she, who was on leave and did not have to participate in this operation, was also asked to join the operation.

The team that Iluna belongs to has not been fully mobilized. Apart from her, who is in the fifth level, only two people in the lower level participate in the operation. Iluna was arranged to monitor the surroundings at important intersections, so that no matter where there was a situation, she would be informed immediately. The other two people in the team temporarily joined the patrol team, and Iluna every thirty You can see them every minute.

"It's getting really cold these days."

Although she was performing an intense mission, the seventeen-year-old girl still complained about the weather in her heart. In my spare time, I secretly looked at my outfit and thought that I was almost the same as the "detective" in the novel. Thinking of the detective, he naturally thought of Shade. He looked towards St. Teresa Square, and then remembered that Luvia said that Shade would be at the Prophets Association tonight:

"What will Shade do now? Will Shade run into [Jack the Thief] again this time?"

She asked a question in her heart, and then whispered in her heart again:

"Really, Luvia always said that I am the real chosen one, but no matter how you look at it, Shade looks more like..."

The passive thaumaturgy - [Sun Glow] can maintain body temperature at night and enhance dark vision, so Iluna does not feel very cold. But standing still is always boring. In her free time, she will pace back and forth against the wall, but she will still pay attention to her surroundings.

Occasionally, she looked up and looked farther away, and suddenly found several terrifying green light sources flashing on the street. Iluna was shocked and prepared to fight. But when those "light sources" came under the street lamp, she discovered that they were two wild cats walking close to each other. Both cats were black, meowing and walking away along the Silver Cross Avenue. Iluna looked at them sideways:

"Even cats come in pairs, and I can only be like Shade's little Mia... Oh, it's so sad to compare myself to cats."

She scolded herself in her mind, but then she thought of what Shade once said, the moon and the sun are twins, and the moon and the sun always appear in pairs.

"Yes, the moon and the sun are fatefully involved!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously. But fortunately, Iluna was standing in the shadow of the low wall. If her colleagues noticed a strange smile on her face at this time, they would definitely be considered to have a mental problem.

She leaned back against the wall slightly - she had checked in advance that the wall was very clean. This was the Silver Cross Avenue after all. Being completely hidden in the darkness was not an adjective. After defeating Darkness, Iluna obtained The talent of "Dark Vortex". But the "Dark Vortex" is only a gain worth mentioning. Similar to dark vision and the fact that almost no one can spot her when she is stationary in the dark, it is a gain that is not worthy of special mention.

She quietly folded her hands on her chest and leaned against the street wall, imagining that she was helping Shade keep an eye on him as a detective assistant. Her eyes were watching the street, and she recalled the plot of the "Hamilton Detective Stories" that she had pressed under her pillow, and a smile appeared on her lips again.

Although the life of a ring wizard is more exciting than that of an ordinary detective, thanks to Dorothy's writing style, which was even praised by the academy, the thrilling detective still deeply attracted the seventeen-year-old girl.

After being transferred to Tobesk Diocese from the Holy See, every night in the rented apartment, Iluna would sit on the bed, covered with a quilt, under the bedside gas lamp, holding a teacup and watching movies such as "Eye of the Storm" for a while before going to bed. Books like "Adventure Guide" and "Silver Knight" are the best way for her to end the day. Since I read detective stories in "Steam Bird Daily", I have been reading for a longer time every night.

Dorothy's serialization in newspapers was not fast, so Iluna "reviewed" almost every story several times. After the first volume was released, she got a new book signed by the author directly from Shade.

She likes those stories not only because of the protagonists, which is only one of the reasons, but also because she is really attracted to those stories.

"I hope the task will be completed soon, so that I can still have time to read when I get home. The last chapter I saw was..."

Iluna missed what was under the pillow in her residence. Standing in the darkness, her eyes were still watching everything on the street illuminated by street lamps.
