Whispering Verse

"The personal charm bonus is 95, the two symbols add 10 points, the total points are 208, and the judgment is passed."

Hearing Yin Luna's "95 points of charm", the corners of the young cultist Dion's mouth trembled. He subconsciously touched his face and asked his companions:

"Although I have never met Shad Hamilton with my own eyes, isn't Charm 95 a bit too exaggerated? Professor, are you sure your Miss Pavo said that the success rate of this operation is higher than 80%?"

"Don't be nervous. After all, it is the guy who is rumored to be the Duchess's lover. Hamilton is only the church's best solution, but it is not a sure-win solution."

Professor Ance recalled how Miss Pavo introduced the banquet after the banquet at Lakeview Manor:

"His charm is indeed worthy of this point."

In the darkness, Dorothy held back her smile, while people who had seen Shade nodded subconsciously.

"Charm" doesn't just mean looks, but also conversation and temperament. Only Yin Luna could know. In fact, she just read out the most basic points. In addition to his charm, Sha De's speaking skills are equally amazing. In terms of "social credibility", Sha De also has the special identity of "MI6 agent". This identity can be directly determined through this judgment, but Yin Luna did not explain it.

Although in the eyes of others, Shade's parchment list is as long as the other two parchments, the amount of content recorded on it is astonishing. Every time Yin Luna frowned, it was actually because there were too many letters, and she couldn't recognize at least a third of them.

If she could participate in this story as Sha De's ring warlock, Yin Luna would never have thought of the possibility of Sha De losing.

In short, the people trapped inside the relic experienced an extremely thrilling story in just a few minutes, but what Shade experienced at this time was just that he walked out of the Prophet's Association.

The patrolling policemen happened to pass by the entrance of the Prophet's Association. The policemen glanced at Shade and then moved on without even coming to question him.

"The people who were chasing the thieves successfully entered Silver Cross Avenue, and now they were faced with empty streets and the cold night wind. The night was so charming, but no one was enjoying themselves at the moment. The thieves might appear at any time, and they had to be as soon as possible Get ready. So, what’s next?”

Hoarse voices came from all directions, and the silver hourglass on the table turned over again. Professor Ance was still the first to speak:

"[Stalker in the Night] Chogori Dius invites [Charming Lady] Lydia Pengelo to conduct a joint investigation to find out the current location of [Jack the Thief]."

"[Charming Lady] Lydia Pengelo agreed to the invitation to conduct a joint investigation to find out the current location of [Jack Thief]."

The cultist also said, with a much more serious expression. Obviously this was a key step in the plan.

The black-robed "Secret Keeper" announced:

"Detecting the traces of [Jack the Thief] requires a total of 1,000 points. For joint investigation, the two points can be added together."

"What?"

The bearded captain who created the church was shocked:

"This is not what it means"

"Yes, [Jack Thief], who is impossible to find in reality, has the possibility of being found in 'Dice Story'. Although the possibility is slim, it is still a possibility. I'm sorry, the chosen one , although the game has just begun, it is already over."

The professor grabbed the dice and rolled out the points:

"Points 54, a first-level sorcerer's basic detection bonus is 107, and the token bonus is 40. Use the thaumaturgy [Breath of Wind] with an amplification factor of 1.5 to detect traces in the wind and gain a detection bonus."

He rolled the dice again:

"The detection bonus obtained by thaumaturgy is 54 multiplied by 1.5 equal to 81. The detection bonus obtained by using the Secret Keeper-level relic Magic Eye [Bug Eye] is 200, and the detection value obtained by drinking the potion 'Inspiration Potion' is 66, for a total of 548."

The puppet on the table representing [Stalker in the Night] Chogori Dius is glowing slightly, which means that he is using power beyond the ordinary.

"I'm pretty lucky, just over half of 1,000."

The professor nodded with satisfaction.

The seventeen-year-old girl is still frowning, a gesture she has maintained since the beginning. What she was thinking about was not how to win, only she knew that if she really manipulated Shade wantonly, there was no way she could lose this game.

The young cultist kissed Mr. Fortune's holy symbol and threw the dice:

"Points 67, a first-level sorcerer's basic detection bonus is 85, symbol bonus is 50, use thaumaturgy [dark perception] with a factor of 1.6, and gain detection bonus."

He rolled the dice for thaumaturgic effects:

"Thumography gains an investigation bonus of 78 multiplied by 1.6 which is equal to 124. Use the clerical relic [Detective Constantine's police handcuffs] to search for criminals who know the specific situation and obtain an investigation value of 350. Drink the magic potion 'Inspiration Potion' to gain investigation Value 66, total 742."

The professor raised his lips and looked at Yin Luna:

"The total investigation points are 1,290, which is more than 1,000 points."

"[The Stalker in the Night] Chogori Dius and [The Charming Lady] Lydia Pengelo have obtained the position of the criminal [Jack the Thief]."

The spiritual light that lit up on the two puppets standing together swept across the entire table in an instant. On the west outer wall of Yodel Palace, a brand new doll appeared, and that was the target this time.

"Look, relics fight against relics, and the power of relics causes miracles. If this were done in reality, it would be impossible to find [Jack the Thief], because the thief couldn't even be sure whether it existed before stealing it. But now it's just because of the numerical value It was enough, so the verdict passed.”

Professor Angs did not have a proud look on his face, but looked very serious:

"Chosen one, what are you going to do? Miss Paavo thinks very highly of you, and you shouldn't let her down."

Yin Luna watched the three puppets on the table moving slowly. The puppets would spontaneously move accordingly before receiving orders. Chogori Dius and Lydia Pengelo were moving in the direction of [Jack the Thief], while Shade was pacing at the door of the Prophet's Association.

"Hamilton heads to this location."

She points to the location of Jack the Thief on the map.

"He did not detect the target and had no reason to do so."

The voice surrounding the darkness said, and the tone seemed a bit cold, which made the very excited Agelina move closer to her sister again.

"Hamilton follows Djogori Dius and Lydia Penglo."

Yin Luna gave another instruction.

"He didn't know the other characters in the story and had no reason to do this."

The secret keeper's voice stopped Yin Luna's instructions again, and the voice became more and more uncomfortable.

Yin Luna pursed her lips and turned to discuss with Miss Green and Mr. Modelo:

"It will take at least ten minutes for this round of hourglass to be revealed. I still have time to think, so I won't give any instructions now."

The high-level warlock at the table shook his head slightly:

"If you plan to delay your turn so that the characters controlled by me and Dion cannot make action decisions in the next turn, then it is too simple. Even if you delay for ten minutes, we will still be there ten minutes later. By going straight into battle to capture [Jack Thief], you just made your failure ten minutes late."

Yin Luna didn't speak. She was still thinking about how to properly use Sha De's power. She couldn't let Shade conduct reconnaissance at this moment, because the basic reconnaissance value that had to be read out was really terrifyingly high. Although Yin Luna didn't know the values ​​of other four-ring warlocks, the basic detection value of "5821" was obviously not right.

Even the number "5821" was still beating on the parchment, reaching six digits at its peak. Yin Luna could not understand this phenomenon at all.

At this time, Sha De was still blowing wind at the door of the Prophet Association. He knew that Yin Luna had encountered a problem before he waited for Yin Luna's order.

【So what will you do? 】

"She" asked softly in Shade's ear. Shade looked at the street scene of Silver Cross Avenue:

"This is not a game to me. It is the game players who need to abide by the rules, not the story characters like me."

He said in his heart, his eyes scanning the surroundings:

"To open [Dice Story Collection], there need to be three manipulated characters, and they must be in the hostile camp. There is a cheating method in the game that allows special characters to be selected in addition to ordinary characters, so the ring warlock who uses this angel-level relic must Choosing the Ringmancer to be the same manipulative subject as myself.”

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and even in the city center of Tobesk, the steam capital, there were almost no people on the streets. Shade looked into the distance:

"So, the strange Ring Warlock who is affected by the Whispering Element is another character in the story."

[Yes, pay attention to the men and women ahead. The whispering elements in them are consistent with the whispering elements that affect you. 】

Chogori Dius and Lydia Pangelo passed by Shade like this. Their steps were normal and their expressions were quite normal. They looked like ordinary men and women taking a walk. They had no idea that they were being controlled by invisible "hands".

The patrolman seemed not to be able to see the two of them, and the two of them seemed not to be able to see Shade, so Shade in the wind watched them walk away:

"I'm not a gamer. The characteristics of relics are not used to constrain me. What I want to do is the story that is happening. My next actions are easy to explain. The weather is too cold. Since the order asked me to leave the Prophet Association, then I can only go home, which makes sense."

When only their backs were left, he put his hands in his pockets, formally left the door of the Prophet's Association, and followed them. That is also the direction leading to Saint Teresa Square. In fact, no matter which direction you walk on Silver Cross Avenue, it is the direction leading to Saint Teresa Square.

Although Sha De often thinks that Yin Luna is immature, he trusts Yin Luna's judgment and wisdom very much. Sure enough, after he followed two strange ring warlocks from a distance, he suddenly had the urge to "wander on the Silver Cross Avenue according to his current ideas."

This is not in line with his true thoughts, so this must be an instruction given by Yin Luna.

Shade sighed and continued walking along Silver Cross Avenue. Four minutes later, the two people walking in front suddenly stopped and then disappeared into the shadows that were not illuminated by the street lights.

But even after disappearing, Shade could still detect the whispering elements and knew that the two of them were entering a "stealth" state.

"Could it be that through the power of [Dice Stories], they really found 'Jack the Thief' and are they preparing to capture the thief?"

But no matter how powerful Shade's perception was, he didn't notice the thief who stole Dorothy nearby. Yin Luna has not given Sha De the next instruction, which means that she cannot let Sha De directly approach Thief Jack's location.

"In this case, I can't stop next to these two people because I have no reason to do so. I can only keep walking forward, but Jack the Thief must be nearby."

Shade was thinking in his mind, and continued to move forward, ignoring the two people who were blatantly "sneaking" on the street.

[Look forward. 】

"Um?"

Looking up, a familiar figure appeared in the distance on the street.

"Dorothy?"

Holding a cat and carrying a sword, the blonde girl, who was only wearing a Shade coat because she was in a hurry to go out, ran from the further south of Silver Cross Avenue.

It was obviously very bright on the street, but she seemed not to notice, looking anxiously behind Shade. Shade understands this phenomenon. He is a story character influenced by "Dice Stories". When there is no "Secret Keeper" to tell the story, no one can notice him. Even if he takes off his clothes now, he will not board the board. Tomorrow morning's newspaper.

The blond girl in the distance is not known to be Dorothy or Lecia. Even as a ring magician, he cannot break this rule, just like Priest Augustus during the "Dark Realm" incident, who could not realize it before Shade reminded him. The person "Luvia Anat" exists in the group.

The blonde girl was getting closer and closer, and just as Shade was starting to think of ways to make her notice him, the cat being held tilted its head and looked at Shade with bright eyes:

"Meow!"
