The Whispering Verses Chapter 2191: The Devil Appears
Seeing the doctor teasing his house again, Shade raised his eyebrows:
"They left by train, and the college arranged for accompanying teachers to protect them secretly. Even if it is really safe here, you will encounter other things after leaving Tobesk, so don't worry too much. With the consent of the college, this We need to inform our local church about this. My friends in the church are already writing an investigation report, which will be handed in today. I still have those things from the [Church of Doom]. Doctor, you need to take a look. ”
With that said, he got up and went to the study, taking out the "withered yellow leaf bookmark", "the evil god's emblem that appeared after the metal dice was crushed" and the "ghost bone tree derivative, silver-plated brooch" and handed them to the doctor.
Doctor Schneider was not very familiar with the [Order of Doom], and had only heard of the Keeper-level relic [Ghost Bone Tree], so he did not touch the latter two items immediately, but picked up the one suspiciously. A dead leaf sniffed, and then asked Xiang Xia De seriously:
"The order in which the elf lady obtained the three items is."
"Bookmarks, dice, and silver-plated brooches. After interrogation by the academy, the cultists have admitted that the bookmarks and dice are symbols of doom they gave to Emilia, but generally they only give one symbol. It’s strange that they were given two at once. The college is still investigating this matter, and it is currently suspected that they are focusing on Emilia.”
Shad said:
"Although there are blasphemous elements on the leaf, there is no cult symbol on it, which is also very strange. However, the two prisoners insisted that the leaf was also given by them. The investigation is still continuing, but it involves the symbol of the evil god. , the probability of divination being wrong is very high, and the academy cannot directly ask other fellow cultists.”
"This leaf was definitely not given by the cultists. They should have only given them dice. Their memories have been modified."
The doctor came to the conclusion with certainty. Shade frowned in confusion, and then hugged the cat tightly in his arms:
"Wait, you didn't want to say that."
The blue-eyed psychiatrist nodded:
"Yes, there is a devilish smell on this leaf."
Shad took a breath, not noticing that the cat in his arms imitated his movements and took a breath with great interest.
"Wait a minute - see the demon, yes, I tried it, there is no demonic power on it."
"If thaumaturgy-seeing demons can detect all traces of demons, how could the Third Age civilization with its demon hunters almost collapse because of those evil spirits?"
The doctor asked seriously, sitting on the sofa and placing the leaf in front of his eyes:
"And this time the opponent is very cautious, yes, very cautious."
He gradually lowered his voice, and in the end it almost seemed like he was whispering:
"Who will it be this time? Oh, it turns out to be that guy, so this weird series of things can be explained. He is so cautious and knows how to let the cultists stand in front to cover himself, except for me and There are only a few people in this era who can guess who is behind it just by looking at this leaf."
"Doctor, who is your opponent this time?"
Xia De asked just right, then looked at him with blue eyes, half worried and half excited:
"The Demon of Doom - Fanarius. Its footprints can be found throughout the history of human civilization, and its birth can even be traced back to the beginning before the Third Age. This is one of the oldest demons and has never been known. The sealed demon. Even the demon hunters of the Third Age only left records of it, but no one has ever defeated it head-on."
"Older than any demon we've encountered in the past?"
Xia De asked again. The doctor thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"Before I met you, I had swallowed five demons on my own: 1837 - Parallax Demon - Corseni, 1841 - Immortal Demon - Khabar, 1845 - Venomous Spider Demon - Sergei , 1847 - Terror Demon Bug - Jul Winter, 1850 - Brain Eater - Byrne Gurrens, these five demons are indeed ancient without bad luck.
But after you joined our group, we met the summer of 1853-Tobesk-Human Pussy, the autumn of 1853-Fort Midhill-The Arsonist-Sockface, the winter of 1853-Tobesk -The Demon of Proliferating Desire - Panni, Winter 1854 - Randall Valley - The Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe, Spring 1854 - Green Lake - The Demon of the Labyrinth - In Yalu, the pus of man is as old as the Demon of Doom . ”
This is not good news, because in fact it was not Shade who defeated "Human Pus", it was Miss Feliana who took action at that time.
"So how strong is this thing?"
Shad asked again, very worried about Emilia at this time.
"Strong? No, it does not rely on its own strength. It is part of destiny. It can even be said that the concept of 'doom' in destiny is condensed due to the malice of the world."
The doctor is very serious:
"This kind of existence is far beyond our understanding. Being targeted by this kind of demon is actually no different from being targeted by a natural phenomenon."
"Can't a unicorn resolve this demonic curse?"
Xia De asked, the doctor shook his head:
"No, it must take the initiative to break the curse. Please listen to me, the real body of Fanarius, the demon of doom, is a pitch-black crow. Teleportation, time suspension, and memory manipulation are just this. This is the most basic ability of the ancients. Haven't you seen the Stone Mirror Demon-Goethe suspending time? No one has seen Fanarius fight with all his strength, because no one who is cursed by doom can come to it alive. You must take action as soon as possible, otherwise the elf lady will not survive this summer even if she is called back to live with you."
"Can't we let her return to the academy immediately? There are at least two thirteen-ring warlocks in the academy."
"But the principal and the librarian cannot protect her for a lifetime. But the entanglement of bad luck can accompany her for a lifetime. This matter can only be solved by us, yes, only us."
Hearing what the doctor said, Shade knew that even though he had been preparing for it for so long, he still had a way to deal with the devil:
"What needs to be done?"
"Since it is so powerful, we cannot give it a chance to take action. Our only advantage now is that it really deceived everyone's eyes, and I only noticed it after the elf left here, so It must be impossible to detect me. We are in the dark and have only one chance to take action. This time, we have to become the most cautious hunters in the dark forest. Even the sound of the heartbeat cannot be heard before taking action. "
The doctor can see that Shade cares about the elf girl, and as a victim of the demon incident, he will never allow the demon to harm other people:
"I need time to prepare something that can kill it with one strike, about a week or more. Shade, during this period you also have a task, let the elf girl go to a place with a chaotic destiny. Only in this way can we Avoid being discovered by it before we take action."
"Where is it specifically? Do you need Luvia to help with divination?"
Shad asked while holding the cat. He originally planned to call Emilia back directly.
The doctor shook his head:
"It's not that troublesome. It's just the places you often go to where big things are going to happen. I'm not a fortune teller like Anat, but I can also see some arcs of fate from my experiences again and again."
Xia De nodded clearly:
"That's Moon Bay City. Doctor, I'll find a way to get Emilia to go to Moon Bay. But will you do it yourself this time, or will I hold the weapon you prepared?"
Dr. Schneider thought about it:
"To be on the safe side, I'll do it. I know you are strong, but this situation is special. We only have one chance, and once we are alerted, we will never have a chance again.
This matter must be acted upon immediately. I will go back and prepare now. I will inform you if there is any news. Moon Bay is too far away from here, so I had to move there this time. Fortunately, after I came back from Green Lake, I knew that there would be another day like this. You don’t need to do this. Father John has been helping me pay attention to similar things. A relic. Remember to appease the elf girl, but don't reveal anything about the devil in advance. ”
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Sha De:
"Doctor, what should I do with Emilia? Is there a way to protect her without alerting the demon?"
The doctor patted his head:
"I was so nervous that I almost forgot about it. I think [Demon Hunting Seal] can slow down the onset of bad luck, but we can't take this out before we do it, otherwise the demon will be suspicious. Did you just mention unicorns?"
"Yes."
Xia De nodded, so the doctor suggested:
"If you have the ability to let the elf girl live with the unicorn, you can also slow down the curse. In addition, you can let her live in a church, which is owned by a large parish church like Tobesk. The power of miracles can also suppress the curse of doom. If the civilization and faith of the Third Age were as prosperous as we are now, maybe the demon hunters at that time could defeat the demon with the help of the church."
The doctor left quickly, taking away some fine gold and orichalcum from Shad to make the weapons he wanted to prepare. And those metals were gifts given by the church to the "God Caller" after the Green Lake incident.
Because he learned about the devil, the worried Shade had no intention of setting off to Moon Bay. After bidding farewell to the doctor downstairs, he immediately wrote a letter to Miss Denister, marking the matter as very urgent.
It only took five minutes for the reply to come through the poem page, and the note that was delivered only said "now".
So Shade immediately moved chairs and basins to arrange the ceremony. Soon, his eyes saw a small office. This is obviously not a school library, but the interior decoration style is very similar to the college classrooms that Shade saw when he was taking elective courses.
The students who helped arrange the ceremony said goodbye and left. The thirteen-ring red-haired sorceress sitting on the chair opposite Shade looked at Shade up and down. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was intact and did not look injured. :
"I thought you were fine. Shade, what happened this time?"
