The Whispering Verses Chapter 1149: Hall of Secret Keepers

[Outlander, you have entered the Hall of Secret Keepers. 】

After crossing the white fog door, we entered the thick white fog that Shade was extremely familiar with. The white mist was not empty; white jade-like stone steps led to higher places.

Thirteen steps up the stairs, located in the thick white mist, was a magnificent hall filled with rows of golden long tables and round stools.

The golden ceiling hangs with crystal chandeliers, and the walls are constantly changing murals painted with ink. This hall seems to have no end, and at a glance there are only rows of long tables extending into an invisible distance.

Compared with the "space maze" with only one path, the "time corridor" with no specific structure, the "dark dungeon" with only trap doors on the ground, the "soul cemetery" like a desolate cemetery, and the ancient sacrificial site. Compared to the "Witch Council", the "Hall of the Secret Keepers" does indeed look quite gorgeous.

"The purpose here is not to speed up learning, right?"

Eluna asked curiously, Shade smiled and shook his head:

"You cannot stay in a place like this for a long time. The concentration of miraculous elements can already cause harm to people. Follow me."

He walked to the table with the cat in his arms and sat down, followed by Iluna and Luvia. As the palace scenery shrouded in white mist disappeared, they actually returned to Room 2 on the second floor of Shade's house illuminated by the moonlight. The white mist door did not disappear because no one touched it.

"Actually, we are still in the palace, but we are also in reality."

Shad briefly described the knowledge he received from the angel:

"Sit down in the Secret Keeper's Hall and you will return to the reality near the door. In other words, if someone is here at this time, they can also see us suddenly appear. In this state, it is equivalent to adding many layers to oneself. In this state of gain, learning, creating, inventing, creating, and performing similar activities can all gain benefits. Moreover, if you stay in the palace and perform similar activities, you will have the opportunity to listen to the knowledge gained by the inspiration of past users. , of course, this depends more on luck. Oh, there is also a smaller chance that while entering and exiting the palace, you will obtain a 24-hour 'wise man's guidance' state, which can keep your brain power and reaction power in the best condition. ."

He pointed to the white mist door:

“Being able to see the White Mist Gate with the naked eye is a sign to distinguish whether you are in the 'Hall of the Secret Keepers'. If you want to leave the hall, one way is to re-enter the White Mist Gate and then return the same way; one way Yes, leave the space near the door and go to the next room, which will also automatically exit the state. ”

Eluna’s eyes lit up:

"In other words, if I can learn Ancient Chinese in the palace, can I also learn Ancient Chinese quickly?"

"The palace only provides benefits, whether you can learn it or not depends on yourself."

Xia De reminded with a smile:

"Furthermore, the time the same person can use here is limited every day. Your other self should be able to get the reminder."

Eluna marveled at this, and Luvia suggested that Shade buy some furniture and decorate the living room on the second floor into a new study, or at least add tables and chairs. The "Hall of Secret Keepers" is quite useful to any ring warlock, and the three major academies must have benefited a lot from it in the past thousand years.

Of course, the spaces left by the ancient gods often have hidden characteristics, and those characteristics can often only be triggered by Sha De.

[Outlander, if you offer a drop of divinity or a golden crown of wisdom to the Keeper's Hall, you can enter the depths of the hall and meet any "Miracle" that exists at the current time. Keeper of Secrets", who will be happy to answer your questions in the palace of the ancient gods. 】

The angels of wisdom are also considered keepers of secrets. In addition, Shade even believes in some special evil gods and can also be considered keepers of secrets. Of course, you still need to be careful and cautious when using the palace, and he doesn't know what the so-called "Golden Crown of Wisdom" is.

Fortunately, there is no urgent need for him to use the Secret Keeper's Hall at the moment. And rather than using these special spaces randomly, he prefers to use them occasionally when the opportunity comes.

Intuition tells the young outsider that the space left by the thirteen ancient gods is definitely not just for the convenience of mortals.

They discussed how to use this place in the future, re-entered the White Mist Gate together, and then returned to Shade's home.

Shad hugged Mia and looked at the wall illuminated by the moonlight that had returned to normal:

"This is the fourth door. There are more and more weird places in my home."

"This place itself is weird."

Luvia said with a smile, and Iluna made a little joke:

"Xia De, even you can be considered one of the strange things that exist here. Do you think that you are more normal than the strange points that have been discovered?"

If you think about it carefully, he is right. Detective Sparrow, who has passed away, is a normal victim who is attracted to this house.

The night is already very late. Iluna will go to the Sun Church tomorrow to give a report and then participate in the New Year's Day activities, so she must return to her apartment tonight.

The seventeen-year-old girl sat on the sofa lingeringly, not wanting to leave, until Luvia spoke:

"Shad, please send Iluna back. It's so late. As a gentleman, you can't let Iluna go home alone."

As he said that, he hugged little Mia who was lying on the sofa again:

"Don't take your cat with you. Go early and come back early."

Iluna then stood up and showed a slightly grateful expression to Luvia, who smiled and winked at her.

"No problem, I will send Iluna to the apartment, watch her go upstairs and come back. Wait a moment, I will get my coat."

As Shade said, he walked into the bedroom. Iluna stood up and turned to look at Luvia. She opened her mouth a few times and didn't know what to say. Luvia whispered encouragement:

"Be brave, tomorrow is my time. Before the end of the year, you only have this chance."

The girl with long brown hair accepted her encouragement and clenched her fists and placed them on her chest.

Just like what Iluna said when she came just now, it is not easy to find a four-wheel taxi on the night of the last day before the New Year's Day. The two walked to Silver Cross Avenue in the snow, and finally met a carriage near the entrance of the Prophets Association, which had turned off its lights, and was about to go home to finish work.

The coachman didn't want to carry any more passengers, so he finally agreed to give them a ride because Shade was willing to pay extra and it was also the direction he was heading home. The location of Blackstone Security Company is in the area between the North City District and the West City District of Tobesk, and the apartment Iluna rented is very close to there.

The carriage quietly returned the two people to their destination in the snow, and then left without sending Shade back again. Iluna took out the key in front of the apartment, opened the door, and invited Shade to come in and sit for a while before leaving:

"The year-end gift I gave you is still upstairs."

The owner of No. 7 Chanem Street is a widowed woman. She is not only a loyal believer of the righteous **** [The Old Man with the Lamp], but she also did some very secret work for the Church of the Sun when she was young. The church helped contact her to rent this apartment to Iluna. Iluna lives in Room 202 on the second floor, and her neighbors are also believers of the "Old Man with the Lamp", and the neighborhood relationship is very harmonious.

It was late at night and everyone else in the house was already asleep. Iluna led Shade up the stairs carefully, and reminded him not to step on the seventh step of the stairs, otherwise it would make strange noises.

It wasn't until she entered the room and turned on the gas light that Iluna breathed a sigh of relief. When Shade looked at the living room, she blushed:

"Because I just came home from a trip, the living room may be a little messy."

The living room of the apartment is not large. Two suitcases are placed in front of the coffee table. One of them has been opened. Inside are bottles of potions and spellcasting materials. The other suitcase was half open, with several pieces of clothing sandwiched in the mouth.

Although the living room is not big, it is very warmly decorated. In addition to cheap oil paintings hanging on the wall, there are also commendations that Iluna received from Ridwich Field and the church. Of course, they are all the ones that ordinary people can see.

There are potted plants on the windowsill, and the keys to the house are in the cookie box in the cabinet at the door. The wind chimes hung from the nails on the window, but after Iluna closed the curtains, they could no longer be seen.

"Sit down first and I'll get your gift."

She said with a slight blush, and quickly walked into her bedroom. Shade was still looking at the place curiously. Shortly after sitting down, Iluna came out holding a red box with a ribbon and bow:

"I originally thought that if I couldn't come back before the holiday, I would ask Luvia to give it to you, so I packed it in advance. You can open it and take a look now"

"No matter what it is, I will like it."

Shade then opened the box and saw a brown knitted scarf and a pair of dark blue knitted gloves inside. The scarf is decorated with a checkered pattern, and there are orange cat-shaped patterns on the two ends that look very much like Little Mia. The style of the gloves is simpler, with only small sunburst decorations.

"Oh, that's really nice. Did you knit it yourself?"

Xia De asked curiously, and then tried to put on the scarf. The size was very suitable.

Eluna sat on the short sofa a little shyly:

"Yes, I learned it from Mrs. Selia from our security company."

Mrs. Celia is the middle-aged lady wearing a hairband that Shade sees on the first floor every time he visits Blackstone Security Company. She often knitted sweaters while waiting to receive visitors, and she was responsible for raising the security company's cat.

"It took you a lot of time, right? You are much busier than me."

"It didn't take much time"

As she spoke, she thought of those nights when she was alone at home, under the gas table lamp, squinting at the knitting pattern chart and counting the number of times the sweater needle was pierced while knitting:

"It's okay, this is probably not the best gift you have ever received, but happy New Year's Day, Shade."

Suffering from shyness, he raised his head and looked at Shade.
