The Whispering Verses Chapter 1905: 【Crack】
The news that [Dragon Eater Order] had agreed on a meeting time with the "God Caller" came on the second day of the assassination and border conflict, which was the new Monday morning.
At that time, Shade was yawning, holding a newspaper and two bottles of goat milk, and carrying little Mia on his shoulders who was staring at the milk bottles. He walked out of the hidden space in the basement of the Green Lake Hotel. He saw Luvia standing in the basement. , talking to Iluna.
He didn't expect to see them so early. The large-scale divination ceremony of the Prophet Association has come to an end for the time being, and Luvia can have some leisure time in the local area. But Iluna was the protagonist of Wednesday's Battle of Green Lake. Shade didn't expect that she would still be able to find an opportunity to come here under such a tense situation.
"As the chosen one, my freedom is unlimited."
The girl with beautiful long brown hair said with a smile, and then invited Shade to have breakfast with her.
Because they were worried about being seen by others, the three of them had breakfast in Shade's room. There is no news from the [Dragon Eater Order] from the Witch Council yet, because there is a delay in the transmission of the news, but Iluna got first-hand information:
"Time is very urgent, let's meet tonight. Basically, I am sure that it is Nadia Foran who invited you to meet."
Shad mentioned during the Saturday dance that most of the main ring warlocks of the [Dragon Feast Order] left Green Lake due to the discovery of another fragment of the poem, so Iluna has more guesses:
"On the one hand, Nadia Fulan is indeed dissatisfied with her ancestors; on the other hand, the [Dragon Feast Order] has no intention of focusing on Green Lake, so it wants to form a certain degree of tacit understanding with the Zhengshen Church. This thing should not be a trap, you can go with confidence."
Luvia asked with concern:
"Where is the specific time and place of the meeting? Is this still the City of Glass?"
"I don't know. They gave a one-time special alchemy item that can only be viewed by one person once and then destroyed immediately. The item was delivered to the Witch Council this morning. Shade should be able to get it at noon. Even though the church has the ability to use other methods to circumvent the restrictions, it still has to give the 'God Caller' some face."
Eluna said, Shade nodded clearly:
"No problem, I'll go at night. I hope Nadia Fallon can directly provide me with the method to follow Megan and the others to the island."
"I just heard from Priest August that you took Mia home very early last night to rest. Were you preparing for it?"
Luvia asked again, Shade nodded, and took out the small copper bell obtained from [Black Mist Camp] from his coat pocket:
"The old **** of wealth and trade told me three ways to use the Philosopher's Stone. Treating it as a disposable item to achieve maximum spellcasting effect will come in handy this time. Even if it is not used If you follow Edwards to the island, you don't have to fight against the fortune teller. It would also be good to seal the island with the secret lock 'Tree Kiss' at the end. I went back and studied it carefully last night. The knowledge is very complicated. , but somehow, I seem to be very talented in using the Philosopher's Stone, and it is easy for me to cast spells with it. What kind of talent is this?"
He planned to wait until he had time to translate the text on the bronze bell into the text of the Sixth Age, copy it, and share it with the girls around him. Although the text on the bronze bell is sparse, the text itself contains a huge amount of information. After being translated and copied, it can probably be written directly into a book.
Among them, making the elixir is the most complicated, followed by refining gold. As for casting the Philosopher's Stone as a disposable item, it is the simplest.
"Speaking of which, Shade, the church contacted you directly through the Witches' Council. Won't the other witches who don't know you yet be confused about this?"
Eluna asked again worriedly, Shade shook his head:
"It doesn't matter. Miss Carina has reported to the council a long time ago that the Godcaller has some superficial friendship with her. She can contact her, but the Godcaller may not answer every time."
"Oh, the other witches mistook you for a female."
Eluna nodded with relief. She actually hoped that Shade could stay away from those strange women.
The three of them continued to eat around the small coffee table. Shade touched the cat that was lowering its head to lick the goat's milk. He thought there was nothing else to do, but when he looked up, he saw Iluna winking at Luvia. Realizing that Shad was looking at them, Iluna immediately pretended to be very interested in the bacon on her plate, lowering her head and not looking at Shad.
As for Luvia, she took a deep breath:
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. I want to give you something. I hope you can accept it."
Xia De blinked:
"If you want to give me something, what can't I accept? However, my birthday is the day when the doctor met me, which is next month, the 22nd day of the Sunshine Month of June. It's still a month away. Do you want to give me a birthday gift in advance? But traditionally, people don't care much about birthdays after they turn 18. I'm not unmarried like Lesia and Margaret. Noble girl, you don’t need to give me a birthday gift.”
The ears behind Iluna's hair twitched, and she carefully wrote down the events of Shade's birthday.
"It's not for you. In fact, I was preparing this thing before I left Tobesk. Old John helped acquire the target item, but this matter was delayed for a long time until I came to Green Lake. Old John’s friend here, Granny Natalie, gave me that thing.”
She carefully took out a red jewelry box. The box was very small and could only hold small items such as earrings and rings. After opening it, a round transparent glass was embedded vertically inside, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was a monocle.
"Relic?"
"Yes, the poet-level relic - [Crack]. The characteristic is very simple. Put it in front of your eyes, and you can more easily detect the subtle cracks on the object. The way to contain it is to sandwich it between two identical objects. The negative characteristic is that once you see non-existent eyes from the crack, eyes will grow on your body."
Xia De took out the curved glass and found that the surface was not empty, but had traces of cracks. There is a line of extremely hidden small words on the edge. Shade has to rub it with his fingers before "she" can decipher it——
[The world is a rift. 】
"Although the main function of this item is to detect cracks, such as detecting darkroom entrances that are almost integrated with the wall, it can also be placed in front of your eyes to greatly attenuate those that require 'eye-to-eye' to be effective. The Effects of the Power of the Eye, Spells and Thaumaturgy".
Luvia continued, glanced at Shade, and revealed her true intention:
"But in fact, few people know that the origin of this item can be traced back to the beginning of the Second Era, which is when the ancient gods left one after another. This was once the temple of the ancient **** of space [Primary Crack], Part of the eye of the idol. After the idol was broken in an unknown age, it was a top-notch magical item. Over the course of thousands of years, its power gradually disappeared, and it became a relic over the long years, until it came into my hands."
"Items related to ancient gods?"
"Yes, I went to see the old witch, and also met with the Hongdie sisters in private, and confirmed that they are the third in line. However, I don't need to prepare their items. This is for them."
Luvia pursed her lips and looked at Shade and stopped talking.
Xia De understood now that the first-ranked fortune teller must have been prepared, the second-ranked Durut Giles’ items were prepared by the Witch Council, and the third-ranked Grace He and Helen already had the red orb in their hands. So, this is for Dorothy and Lesia.
"I know you don't like this outcome, but we have to plan for any eventuality."
Luvia went on to say that she thought Shade would show displeasure, but Shade just showed a melancholy expression, then nodded and pushed little Mia's head aside as she stretched out her plate:
"I understand. I will give this to Dorothy later and ask her to put this with the angel feathers."
"Look, Luvia, I just said that Shade must understand the necessity of doing this."
Iluna finally raised her head, and the purple-eyed girl also smiled:
"Yes, Shade always knows what to do."
Shad looked down at the lens in his hand, placed it in front of his right eye, and wanted to look at Iluna and Luvia, but he was grabbed by both arms:
"Xia De, you have to know that nothing in this world is perfect. So if you observe the world through it, you will see that there are actually many things that you think are 'beautiful'. Flaws you didn't notice. Don't look at this while you're at breakfast."
Xia De then put away the lenses, and understood in his heart that they actually did not want to damage their impression in his mind.
"However, you can use this to take a look at Xiao Mia."
Luvia suggested with a smile again.
"Meow?"
The cat eating breakfast suddenly raised its head and looked at Shade alertly. Seeing that Xia De didn't move, he lowered his head and continued eating his food.
"Since it's Monday, Shade, what did you get as a gift this week?"
Eluna asked again.
"Although it is not an ordinary item, it is not very useful either. A bouquet of white flowers, probably sprayed with some magic potion, seems to be able to keep blooming for many days, but the flower is just an ordinary species. The task is I plan to wait until after Wednesday to finish sending flowers to my friends."
When he planned to give Iluna a birthday gift, he would also give this bouquet of flowers, otherwise it would be too monotonous to just have scales and golden apples.
As Shade was thinking, he saw Luvia using her own fork to insert the apple she had just chopped into pieces, and put it in front of him. Shade was a little surprised when he saw purple eyes staring at him before biting off the apple. Then, he cut off a small piece of bacon on the plate and handed it to Iluna.
Iluna just saw the two people's intimate movements, so she lowered her head and pretended not to care. But when Shade stretched out his fork, the seventeen-year-old girl immediately raised her head. She pursed her lips in anticipation, and seeing Luvia looking at her with a smile, she blushed and ate the food on her fork.
Then she also stabbed a fork into slices of food and handed them to Luvia. Of course, the fortune teller lady would not refuse. The atmosphere of the breakfast was very good. The three people who had gathered together from the beginning were in a good mood and prepared to face another challenge.
Only the cat wondered for a long time why no one gave it food.
