The Whispering Verses Chapter 1892: Skull and invitation

Xia De had no intention of preventing the other party from having an army of the undead. After all, even if there were an army of zombies and water ghosts, it would be the church that would stop them.

"But I can't give it to you now, it has other uses for me."

The corpse waiter came with a tray, and there was a third of a skull on the tray. The skeleton looked very different from a human skull, and was at least twice the size of a normal human head. However, because it is incomplete, Shade cannot be sure what it will look like after it is complete.

"I know this does not belong to me, so please allow me to return it to you after the Chosen One Ceremony."

The fortune teller continued, Shade did not try to grab it. After all, the priest also said that everything was an illusion. He just thought he had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms:

"Do you know who this bone should belong to?"

Xia De asked, the fortune teller shook his head slightly:

"I placed some bones in my daughter's ossuary, hoping that she could sleep peacefully. I think it was the bone fragments and finger bones that the tomb robbers took away that attracted your friend. This world There are so many secrets, and even I don’t know them all. I think the person who is closest to being omniscient is the crazy Sir Lykins."

He suddenly stopped talking and turned to look to the side. The corpses dancing in the music gradually gave way to a straight road, and at the end of the road, the figure of Priest August appeared with his hands behind his back.

Shad guessed that the priest must not be hallucinating, otherwise the serious expression on the face of the fortune teller in front of him would be too similar to the performance.

"This skull does not belong to me, please allow me to return it later."

He said this to Priest Augustus, who shook his head seriously:

"Although you are very polite, this is not your thing."

The shadow of huge wings appeared on the wall behind him, and even the shadow of the broken wings was still shocking. The light of the crystal chandelier gradually decreased until it turned dark green. At the same time, the melodious music had discordant notes and gradually became eerie and strange.

The dancing corpses all stopped and turned to look at their lord with Priest August. And this scene actually made Sha De a little suspicious as to who was the villain here.

The fortune teller wearing a monocle smiled and took out a palm-sized book from his pocket. The book had a brown hard cover. At a glance, Shade saw the Ouroboros symbol representing "Ancient God - Mr. Ring" on the front of the book, and the skeleton representing "Ancient God - Ancient Death" on the back. Sickle mark.

"Angel-level relic ["Soul Storybook"]."

Shad said softly, and the book, which was about the same size as the cards, was already floating in front of Laplace Howard.

It was not simply suspended, but several transparent hands held it up in front of the fortune teller and opened the corresponding page for him.

After some imperceptible light flashed, all the corpses in the banquet hall fell. The green light returned to normal, and only three people were still standing in the magnificent hall.

Shad looked at Priest August and asked for his opinion. The old priest frowned slightly and made a compromise after thinking:

"Return half first. When you have a family banquet on the island, I will personally go to the island and ask for the other part."

"This makes sense. I am honored to invite you to my territory to watch the final ceremony."

The priest waved his hand, and one-third of the skull that should have been unable to be divided by any external force was split into two halves again. Gray fog came in, covering the scene in front of him, and when the gray fog disappeared, the surroundings returned to the scene under the oak trees at the crossroads outside a rural village.

The moon in the night sky was still so charming, and when blown by the warm night wind, Shade truly felt like he was out of the illusion.

The three corpse ghost brothers who were hung up have been burned to black charcoal and will soon be revived on another island.

Priest August held the sixth skull in his hand and looked up at the tree, wondering what he was thinking. As for the doctor, he looked around suspiciously:

"Is this the real world now?"

"Yes doctor, you can ask me a question that only we know."

"Well, when we first met last spring, what was the first thing we said?"

[Ask for the time. 】

"Ask for the time. And it's not spring, it's summer."

The doctor relaxed:

"What did you just see? I came to a cemetery and was besieged by a large group of corpses. Although the priest said those were all hallucinations, the pain was very real. Fortunately, the hallucination was over, otherwise I would have died. We are really going to start a counterattack. Have you obtained the priest's promotion materials?"

"Half done."

A tired look appeared on the old priest's face. He carefully put the sixth skull into his robe:

"I am getting old after all. I thought I could succeed. But when the church finally lands on the island, I will have to get the remaining part myself."

Dr. Schneider nodded without asking what happened just now:

"This is normal. If such a precious thing can be obtained without taking risks, I would think it would be a trap. You should still remember the efforts I made for that material last summer. Priest, you Don’t worry, I’ll go with you when the time comes. Since I know where the materials are, I’ll be able to get them.”

The priest nodded, and Shade greeted the two of them and prepared to leave:

"Tonight's operation can be considered half a success. Priests and doctors, after you go back, please prepare for the final landing on the island. It should be quick, not more than a week."

Neither the priest nor the doctor had any doubts about this. Although they did not take the initiative to bring it up, they both understood what the final battle in the Green Lake area meant. The doctor wanted to help, to find some sense of participation for himself, and to test his newly acquired strength, while the priest wanted to see the remaining skeletons.

Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone is making final preparations.

It was already very late when the three of them returned to the Green Lake Hotel that night. They did not eat supper, but went directly to rest. But instead of returning to his room, Shade knocked on Dorothy's door and picked up little Mia who had been waiting for him to come home.

The night was already deep, and Dorothy did not leave Shade overnight because she was still in a special period. Shade returned home with the cat.

Sleeping at home is always very pleasant. After waking up early on Saturday morning and looking at the familiar ceiling, Shade felt completely refreshed.

Go downstairs to get goat milk and newspapers, then take the cat to the Green Lake Hotel. Priest August and Dr. Schneider still got up very early, and had breakfast with Shade while discussing the news. This morning was really nice.

As for Miss Writer, she usually doesn’t get up until after 8:30, so Shade thought of having breakfast with her before going out. Today is the day when the Prophet Association will conduct the long-prepared large-scale divination ceremony. The current president of the Prophet Association will also appear, but this has nothing to do with Shade. He only has to wait for the divination results from Iluna. good.

He originally wanted to try to see what was on the witch's task list today, try to analyze what the great witch of time had spied from the future, and then attend the extremely high-level banquet in the evening. But before he could wait for Dorothy to go downstairs for breakfast, he saw Megan coming in a hurry.

As soon as the brown-haired witch entered the door and saw Shade sitting by the wall, at the table where the two first met, she immediately walked over and hugged him.

Xia De didn’t know why, so after comforting her a few words softly, he took the cat, who was still eating, to the basement with Megan.

Today, the basement of the hotel has been renovated, and the ritual core array shining with dazzling blue light ensures that every corner of the building can be protected by the power of the witches. Those red, golden, black and brown hair strands that are almost invisible to the naked eye are the "spiritual wires", or "etheric wires" that the witches weave from their own hair.

This is the most suitable material for witches' secret skills. Although witches can control the growth of their own hair, it is still an extremely luxurious act to contribute so much hair like this time.

Because this place is very important, all the great witches have allocated a small number of people to take turns guarding it in the basement. Because they work in shifts, the girls don't feel sleepy even if they stay awake all night. Seeing Shade and the Great Witch come in, they consciously put down the novels, Rhodes cards and checkers in their hands, and pretended to be busy and started their daily maintenance work.

"What's wrong? Am I not here?"

Shade asked softly to the girl in front of him. Megan's face, which looked much younger than Miss Carina, had a mixture of worry and fear. It’s hard to imagine that a witch of her strength would have such an expression:

"I had a dream last night. In the dream, I unknowingly entered the family mansion on the island again. I woke up before pushing the door and entered, and wanted to turn around and leave, but Sloth Edward walked out of the house. Hereby."

That was the second son of the second generation and Megan's great-grandfather. He was transformed into a strange evil thing made of tentacles because of his fear of death.

"He gave me an invitation letter and invited me to a family banquet so that six generations of the family could reunite."

She grabbed Shade's arm tightly with both hands, pursed her lips and stared into Shade's eyes:

"When I woke up this morning, two invitation letters were already in my hands."

She took out one of the invitation letters and handed it to Shade. It was a folded and gilded invitation letter. The cover has a family crest that resembles the black spiral symbol of the "Reunifier", with "Eternally Noble Edwards Family" written in floral letters below. The background is the scenery of Green Lake Town and the nearly transparent six generations of the Edwards family. A root family tree composed of 21 people.
