Whispering Verse

“We have to find ways to bring in outside forces.”

The bearded captain of the Creation Church reminded behind Yin Luna. Mr. Modelo, the eleven-ring warlock of the Peace Church, took a deep breath as if he was about to make a decision, but at this time Yin Luna threw the dice again.

Danglanglang~

The dice fell, and the words of the secret keeper followed, but this time the content was a little different:

"During that tense battle, the cat living at No. 6 St. Teresa Square suddenly joined the battlefield and jumped on the shoulders of [Mortal Luck] Shad Hamilton. The [Pet Cat] Mia and [Mortal Luck] Shad Hamilton treats it as a cooperative relationship. Since the difference in strength between the two is too large, [Jack the Thief]’s points will be the value of the latter’s points. Next, we will make an additional judgment on [Pet Cat] Mia. Since in the battle If you join midway, your final points will be deducted by 10 points."

Yin Luna's eyes widened and she unfolded the parchment again. Sure enough, she saw new information appearing, which was Xiao Mia's information. Although the cats in those descriptions are weak and pitiful and completely incomparable to Shad, once the final points are positive, it represents the true victory of the story.

"[Pet Cat] Mia joins the battle. Since the battle is located at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, the trait [I Love My Family] is triggered, and any judgment bonus is 5 points."

Yin Luna looked nervously at the parchment in her hand. She could understand that Shade and Mia's traits "I Love My Family" had different effects. What she was looking for was this sentence:

"[Pet Cat] Mia is automatically regarded as [Mortal Luck] Shad Hamilton's assistant. It can provide numerical bonuses for combat, reconnaissance and other actions. This numerical bonus is not regarded as the character's own points."

Yin Luna smiled, which meant that [Thief Jack] would not continue to strengthen because of Xiao Mia's existence. People around her looked at her nervously. After all, even if she had one more chance, the cat's combat effectiveness might not be positive.

Yin Luna then read:

"[Pet Cat] Mia's throwing uses a six-sided die, and because it is an 'ultra-small body' creature, any throwing points will be attenuated by a factor of 0.5 times during combat, and the total combat value will be reduced by 20."

Danglanglang~

The new six-sided die fell from the secret keeper's sleeve, and Yin Luna threw the die under everyone's gaze:

"Point 6, extreme value! 6×0.5=3!"

People watching this scene felt as if they couldn't breathe.

"The basic ability 'Claw' is 1 point, the trait [Cat's Grace] has a bonus of 3 points, the trait [Beloved Cat] has a bonus of 6, and the trait [Guardian] has a bonus of 5. Since Shade Hamilton is beside him, the trait [Loyal domestic pet cat] Bonus 5.”

The total points at this time are -10+5-20+3+1+3+6+5+5=-2. If Shade wants to win, Xiao Mia must provide at least 3 points bonus. Unlike the huge amount of information in Xia De's information, the list of ordinary pet cat Xiao Mia is quite simple, and Yin Luna has already seen it to the end. She was actually very nervous, but she believed that the cat, who felt magical every time she looked at it, had at least a positive fighting ability:

"Trait [nocturnal creature], any judgment bonus in the dark is 1 point!"

Yin Luna's voice was trembling. The total points at this time were -1. As long as there were two more points, Xia De would win:

"Trait [Beautiful Cat], you can roll extra dice in combat situations to determine [Charm] points. Charm points can be added to combat points."

Yin Luna took a deep breath, finally rolled up the six-sided die and threw it out.

Danglanglang~

People's eyes looked at the beating dice, and the final upward side still showed the maximum number 6:

"6×0.5=3, [Pet Cat] Mia's total combat points are 2. Now [Jack Thief] and [Mortal Luck] have the same total boxing points, but due to the cooperation status of [Pet Cat], Mia Provides an additional 2 combat points, so the result is"

"Meow~"

The cat that was thrown away by Lecia had long seen that Shade was in danger. The cat that was usually afraid of strangers suddenly showed its full ferocity. In addition, this was the environment it was most familiar with, and the cat directly Jumped onto Shade's shoulder. At the same time that Shade waved his fist, the cat leaned out and quickly grabbed the enemy with a dark face with its claws.

Although Shade's fist hit the target, it was still completely unable to cause damage to the opponent just like before. But as soon as Xiao Mia's claws touched the thief, it felt as if it was hit by a huge force. It flipped twice in the air and then lay on the ground with a snap.

"success!"

"Shadow!"

"Do it quickly!"

"Don't let it get away!"

"Meow~"

Doctor Schneider, Priest Augustus, Lesia and Luvia surrounded them at the same time, and Shade, who was surrounded by them, took the [Night Watchman, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground and "punched" from Lecia. Losing thief:

"I caught you!"

"In the winter of 1853 in the universal calendar, on the night of the 27th of the Frost Moon. With the help of his loyal servant, [Mortal Luck] Shad Hamilton successfully captured [Jack the Thief]. This is the story of a detective and a thief. It is a collection of stories about despicable people and dice. In the long night, this story may be unknown, but it is indeed interesting. A collection of dice stories, only loves the truly wise."

A hoarse voice fell in the darkness, and the blocks on the table melted like a phantom version. Yin Luna watched the parchment roll in her hand turn into dots of white light. She looked at the secret keeper standing by the table, covered in black clothes. After a moment of silence, the latter asked softly:

"The story ends, you have the final victory, and you can ask me for a wish."

This is the first time it has made a sound on its own since the [Dice Story Meeting] started.

Under the gaze of Miss Green, Mr. Modelo, the three princesses, and the ring magicians who created the church, Yin Luna stood up:

"I don't need anything."

With a loud bang, the white skylight disappeared, and the surrounding area fell into complete darkness. But the next moment, the soft gas light came on again. In the reading salon room, the guests were still lying on the sofa and carpet. The unconscious [Truth Society] professor and cultist were lying on their backs in the middle of the room. Sir Prisha, who was pretending to be unconscious, breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy. Although he was involved in the incident, he was not harmed.

"Where is the relic itself? Where is the dice?"

Members of the Church of Creation immediately launched a search, but the angelic relic was nowhere to be found. Maybe it was not controlled by anyone from the beginning, but appeared in the right place voluntarily.

There was no longer a set of tables and chairs around Yin Luna. She frowned and took back the scale that was shining with dark golden light above her head, and then opened her right hand that she didn't know when she was holding tightly. A crystal blue teardrop-shaped spar was lying safely in the palm of her hand. In the light of the gas lamp, the spar shone with dazzling luster.

"This is"

Miss Green sighed. Of course, she did not forget to look at the three princesses to prevent them from leaving now. A smile appeared on Yin Luna's lips, but then Mr. Modelo asked suspiciously:

"If this [Wise Man's Pyroxene] is a reward for the [Dice Story Collection] test, then where is the pyroxene that was used to capture [Jack the Thief] and complete the Venus Trial?"

"Now go to No. 6 St. Teresa Square to confirm the condition of the unconscious Hamilton."

Yin Luna said, Miss Green nodded and looked in the direction of Saint Teresa Square from a distance:

"Yes, we must go to St. Teresa's Square, where there are two inexplicable beings caused by bad luck that need to be dealt with. Bless the sun, I hope the number of deaths in the St. Teresa's Square block will not exceed 50 people."

But in fact, the death of any of the residents living in the Saint Teresa Square neighborhood is a big deal.

Considering that there was still time left for Xia De to pretend, Yin Luna, who was in a good mood, suggested:

"Let's wait until the big troops arrive. I don't want to face two inhuman beings alone."

She didn't believe what would happen in Saint Teresa Square. Every time she came to that neighborhood, she felt particularly peaceful.

(Little Mia is running)

"You got me."

As Shade raised his sword and pointed it at the thief lying on the floor of his house, he raised his hands and spoke softly.

The whispering elements belonging to the angelic relics that wrapped around Shade disappeared, and the game was over. But instead of feeling reassured, his expression changed and he stepped back.

The four Doctors Schneider also retreated in surprise. The whispering element in Shad disappeared, but the whispering element in [Jack Thief] continued to grow stronger. As the surrounding light continued to increase, strange whispers whispered curses of hatred and malice in the ears of the five people present.

The thief wearing a black coat got up from the ground and put his hands down. The black clothes almost blended into the black shadow. Thin tentacles protruded from its body. There seemed to be countless identical black figures struggling in the shadow.

"It's on the verge of getting out of control!"

The doctor said immediately, with a very nervous expression. The loss of control of the humanoid relic was the most difficult problem to solve. And this time the relic went out of control, it was definitely not due to bad luck. Shade used the power of another more powerful relic to capture [Jack the Thief]. The two relics interacted with each other, which could easily cause the weaker one to lose control.

"Once [Jack Thief] loses control, it will kill the person it steals arbitrarily. Once the thief actually kills someone, it will completely lose control! Shade, defeat it head-on to restore it to its original state."

Luvia warned in a low voice, Shade nodded, took off the little Mia with his left hand and threw it to Lesia. He kept retreating, and finally retreated to the wall where the fireplace was. He pushed open the door that was almost integrated with the wall and retreated into the empty living room of Room 2 on the second floor.

Thief Jack, who was almost swallowed by the darkness, followed him as if he was floating. When the four doctors also entered Room 2, all light sources disappeared at this moment. In the thick darkness, only Shade had a silvery glow. This was his ability to emit light spontaneously in the darkness. Although it sounded useless, at least it would not make him melt into the darkness:

"Do you know how I initially planned to fight against [Jack Thief]?"

He asked softly. Lesia wanted to speak, but found that she could not make a sound when she opened her mouth and vibrated her throat.

"Jack the Thief becomes stronger when faced with a strong force, so what if the effect of a certain thaumaturgy also becomes stronger when faced with a strong force?"

The man in black, wrapped in thick darkness, appeared in the light around Shade. Light and shadow collided with each other, and the knight's sword wrapped in darkness, held by a black withered hand, drove the darkness to stab Shade's chest.

"Seal of Heaton!"

[Night Watchman] stabbed the ground and made a seal gesture with his left hand. The golden shield that suddenly burst out in the darkness even forced Dr. Schneider, who was closest to Shade, to narrow his eyes.

The gleaming golden shield on the surface exploded the moment the Dark Knight's sword touched it. Together with the silver brilliance, the golden streamer was like fireflies on a summer night, like the overflowing light in a campfire, and like a blacksmith swinging a hammer. The sparks flying from the high-heated iron object illuminated the entire room.

As if a bubble burst with a pop, the starlight outside the window and the light coming from the wall and door drove away the strange darkness.

The darkness receded, the whispering elements returned to normal, and the fragments of the broken antique knight's sword shot around and were inserted into the wall of the room. Almost a quarter of the flat wooden floor in the living room was blown open, making the whole room miserable.

"Meow~"

Mia stared at the wall.

The characteristics of the thaumaturgy [Seaton of Heaton] are that the spell is released the moment the attack touches it, and the exploded shield can cause damage to the attacker. This is a very clever counterattack method. The intensity of the shield explosion depends on the intensity of the attack. Certainly. Although this requires the shield to be able to block the attack, fortunately, [Jack the Thief]'s attack just now only consumed four-fifths of Shade's spirit and blocked it.
