The Whispering Verses Chapter 2122: The identity of the candidate

Chapter 2122 Identity of the Chosen

Seeing Shade coming, the blond lady on the sofa greeted him lazily.

"You look tired?"

"Yes, the city council cannot do without the Belindel family. We have rights and we also have obligations. Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"What?"

The look she was looking at him at this moment was really indescribable. Shade wanted to say that he had just eaten, but somehow he nodded:

"Okay, thank you for the invitation."

So twenty minutes later, Shade met Mrs. Belindel, the witch's mother, and Miss Belindel's two sisters in the restaurant of Belindel Manor. A cousin.

According to Miss Belindle, none of them knew her identity as a witch. As for their daughter/sister not liking to be in contact with men, they all think that this is because Bella Belindel actually has a unique hobby of liking beautiful girls.

For this reason, when a strange man appeared at the dinner table tonight and was allowed to sit on the right hand side of the countess, the Belindel family showed complete surprise.

When introducing Shade to her family, Miss Belindel no longer called Shade a "cousin", but called Shade a "business partner":

"Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret has chosen us as business partners in Yuewan. Yes, those are the products I took out a few days ago. This gentleman is the liaison officer sent by Her Highness. Recently, He should come in and out of this house frequently."

In Miss Belindell’s opinion, Miss Sylvia also knows about the “man”, so there is no problem in assigning this identity to “John Watson”, and she can even find a reasonable appearance for Shade. Reasons to be here.

He was still blushing when he mentioned Miss Sylvia's "goods". He glanced at Shade quietly and found that there was nothing unusual about Shade because he was talking to old Mrs. Belindel.

"Young man, are you from Willondale? Do you rent or own your own house? Do you have any relatives at home? Oh, you look really young, a few years younger than Bella"

"Oh! Mother!"

Even witches can be shy.

It wasn't until Shade had finished his second dinner that he had the opportunity to ask about Miss Belindel's condition in the study.

The curtains were closed tightly, and the gas lamp on the wall was adjusted to the darkest setting. Only the floor-standing gas lamp behind the sofa and the gas table lamp on the elegant desk in the distance shine with a very bright warm yellow light. After dinner, sitting down and chatting in this environment, the atmosphere is still very good.

"I feel pretty good."

The countess sat on the long sofa, and Shade sat on the short sofa on the east side. She pressed her right shoulder and then moved slightly:

"I have been taking the enzyme potion on time, and I have not dreamed of anything strange in the past two days. On the contrary, the existence of this relic makes me feel that my spirit is recovering quickly. And after night falls , I feel that my spiritual perception is sharper than before."

She opened the palm of her right hand, and a yellow ball of light emerged in her palm. That ambiguous and dim light was clearly the light of the moon, and before that, Miss Belindel did not have the talent of the moon:

"I can now understand why the [Truth Society] wants to study ways to integrate relics with the human body. This way of gaining power is far simpler than the normal learning of ring magicians."

"Don't think like this. If you didn't still have those alien light sources in your body, constantly fighting against the power of the relic, I would never have taken out the relic."

Xia De said hurriedly, and the witch naturally knew what he meant:

"Don't worry, I won't lose my mind for power."

As he spoke, he pressed his shoulder again:

"This power comes easily, but you have to pay a price in the end. I am a fortune teller, and I know better than anyone that getting it requires paying a price, and fate is always fair."

As he spoke, he sighed and sat on the sofa with a rather sad expression:

"How's it going? Is there any new progress in the investigation?"

"Yes, I gained a lot from following Freeman Hawthorne."

Shad briefly talked about what happened on the ship last night, and mentioned the dragon egg fossil:

"Although his memory has been erased, I have contacted Siris in Willendale, I mean Miss Lassers. She is an expert in memory manipulation, so there should be no problem."

The countess nodded, but she had no objection to this:

"But what does Hawthorne want the dragon egg fossil for? You have met the ring warlock the Hawthorne family is contacting, and you should know that although the other party has fancy methods, he actually has no ability."

Shad remembered that the man was good at using hats to perform various magic tricks.

"Before you came to Moon Bay, I investigated the ring warlock when we were fighting for the relic [The Only Existence]. He was not a member of the [Dragon Feast Order] and had nothing to do with the cultists. Put it this way, Is he just a cover-up used by the Hawthorne family? Matilda~"

The blond maid brought the crystal ball, and the witch whispered a spell. She brushed her right hand over the surface of the crystal ball and stared at the white mist swirling in it, frowning slightly:

"Interesting, either it was hidden very well, or Hawthorne did not have direct contact with the [Dragon Feast Order], but the cultists indirectly used them through other means. They originally planned to, if evidence could be obtained, Just go to the church and report them.”

She picked up the hair beside her ear and looked at Shade again:

"In this case, you can continue to investigate along this line. But I am not idle here. After retrieving the golden dragon scale and the fragment of the poem, I made a separate report to the Speaker. . The Speaker compared the new fragment with other fragments in the parliament's collection and found a link between it and the other witches. We will explain it at the meeting tonight. "

"What is the specific content?"

Xia De asked immediately. The witch smiled and narrowed her eyes. The fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows looked even more charming under the gas lamp:

"The sentence we got is: Dragon with broken shell, seven-color dragon scales. The completed content is roughly, after the ancient **** - [Dragon of Glory] leaves, the material world still exists? The scales of the past. ”

"So, we need to collect seven colorful dragon scales and transform ourselves into a dragon. This is the ceremony of the chosen one?"

Xia De guessed, and the witch who just paused deliberately to give Shade a chance to interrupt continued to say with a smile:

"I knew you would think so. Of course it would not be so simple and straightforward. But before telling you the answer, I would like to mention an ancient legend. The ancient god-[Dragon of Glory] is the legendary original dragon. All subsequent dragons are his descendants, created from his scales and flesh."

"The thirteen ancient gods were originally the original gods. The birth of the dragon cannot be earlier than the gods, so this legend should be true."

Xia De agreed, and the witch continued:

"Since the giant dragons are created from the scales and flesh of the ancient god, for the giant dragons, does it mean that obtaining the scales and flesh of the original dragon can make them closer to the posture of the ancient god? ”

Xia De was thinking:

"There is some truth to this. It sounds like some kind of 'blood purification ritual'."

He remembered that the eggshell book obtained in "Eternal Night City" recorded a similar dragon bloodline purification ceremony. But at that time, Shade was anxious to wake up Fiona, so he didn't look carefully. Later, the eggshell book should have returned to Fiona's hands, but there was no whereabouts of the book in St. Byrons of the Sixth Age.

"Okay, the basic information has been completed, let's get back to the topic. Unfortunately, the fragment of the poem does not correspond to the information about the ceremony of the chosen one, at least not entirely. It corresponds to the identity of the chosen one: Newborn dragons refer to dragons younger than 300 years old, or short-lived humans related to dragons. The Speaker believes that this range is quite broad, not only dragon-born, but also anyone with dragon-related powers."

"All members of the Dragon Feast Order meet the conditions."

Shad thought again of the ring warlock with black dragon scale marks on his face who had fought against him.

Miss Belindel nodded and continued:

"The seven-color dragon scales, according to the context, refer to the need to possess more than one kind of dragon power. The ancient **** - the Dragon of Light represents pure white light. The white light splits and combines many other colors to form There are different colors of dragons, such as red dragons, black dragons, silver dragons, brass dragons, star dragons, etc. Therefore, dragons of different races have different talents and powers.

The phrase "Seven-Colored Dragon Scales" actually means that the chosen person this time must have the ability to accommodate and use the power of dragons of different races, instead of being able to only use the power of one kind of dragon. Qise is a general term that means numerous. ”

Today's development of physics has already made people aware of the concept of spectrum.

"Accommodate the power of dragons of different races, so that different colors can be integrated and closer to the original light? Indeed, so the fragments we got are indeed rich in content. Must the power of many dragons be integrated, or is it as long as there is This potential, but you don’t have to actually fuse the dragon?"

Shad asked curiously, but this time Miss Belindel shook her head slightly:

"This is not clear. I think it involves the content of the ceremony of the chosen ones. There is no such fragment in the parliament."

After finishing speaking, he asked Xia De curiously:

"So, with your special destiny, do you have the power of a dragon?"

"Yes, but there is only one kind of 'red dragon power' that can enhance my physical strength and so on. You don't think I might be the chosen one, do you?"

Shade then reacted, and the witch nodded naturally:

"Of course I doubt it. After all, special destiny does not appear casually. And the dragon glove of yours is obviously not something that an ordinary dragonborn girl can give. I have heard others say that the chosen one They all have very unique talents. I think your strength and charm may be unique talents.”

"But I can't be the chosen one."

"Why?"

The witch blinked:

"How did you get this conclusion?"

"Someone has divined for me. Anyone may be the chosen one, but I cannot."

Shade told the truth, but Miss Belindel covered her mouth and chuckled:

"What a strange statement this is. You weren't deceived by a bad fortune teller, were you? Okay, okay, don't be so nervous. I just put forward an opinion. It's really hard to say whether you are true or not. But Speaking of divination, I really want to meet the fortune teller who did your divination and refute her absurd conclusion face to face. All extraordinary beings in this world may be the chosen one. Does that person have any prejudice against you? "
