The Whispering Verses Chapter 277: Lament and Harvest

Of course, the arrival of the evil **** on Thursday night and the subsequent battle with the unknown moon **** cannot be dismissed so easily. One of the things that is most relevant to the citizens of Tobesk City is that today the whole city is under martial law and it is strictly forbidden to go out. Ridwich Field, the church and the Tobesk garrison are controlling the situation in the city in order to conduct door-to-door searches.

On the one hand, the church has made a great determination. Even if it smashes half of Tobesk, it will still kill the lucky ones among the [Lord of Blood Feast] cultists who survived and the members of [Mercury Blood]. catch. On the other hand, last night the church's high-level warlocks tried to stop the evil **** with almost total annihilation. Although they were saved by an unknown saint in the end, the people who were forced to participate in the blood feast were still seriously injured.

Eluna was able to get the bottle of No. 1 holy water puree because the church gave it to her after considering the injuries of others.

Therefore, the city-wide martial law also means maintaining law and order with a high-pressure posture when almost everyone with high-level warlocks is injured.

But what happened last night also scared other ring magicians in the city. Now no one will touch the church's brow, and almost everyone is happy to see those madmen captured by the church.

In other words, except for church members like Miss Bayas and a few members of the royal family who have obtained passes, all citizens must stay at home today.

Tobesk is the capital of the Kingdom of Delarian, so such a city-wide martial law will certainly cause an uproar. But considering what happened last night, there was no objection even from the Yodel Palace.

The news of His Majesty the King’s emergency interview last night was the front page of all morning newspapers today. Although the whole city was under martial law today, the newspapers were still delivered because the citizens needed to know what happened:

"Cultists poisoned the whole city. Hundreds of citizens died last night. Today the whole city is being hunted... Oh."

Beside the dining table, Shade, holding the newspaper, couldn't help but sigh. The news in the newspapers looked horrific, but in reality the number of casualties was not in the hundreds, but in the thousands. Although this number is not large compared to the fact that "the evil **** is coming", for the peaceful era of 1853, it was common for thousands of people to disappear in Tobesk a year, but the number of thousands of people dying in one night can definitely make Panic spread across the Old World.

Shad's guess last night was correct. The cultists were indeed poisoning through the "Silver Parrot Milk Distribution Company" controlled by [Mercury Blood] and offering sacrifices to the evil **** to form a grand "blood feast".

This was mentioned in the letter obtained from the body of the Silver-Eyed Man, and it was also because of this that Luvia was able to deduce the general story of the matter before meeting Shade.

"There may be public memorial activities later. The impact of this incident... Fortunately, I have you, otherwise the casualties last night would be more than that. I know you will not let anyone know that you What you did, but I know what risks you took... Shade, this seems unfair to you."

Miss Anat spoke softly, holding a spoon as she sat at the dining table with Shade. Shade took away the newspaper in front of him and looked at her. He was still lamenting the casualties last night:

"Things cannot be calculated like this. Miss Anat, what each of us has done will eventually leave traces in this world and eventually affect us again. Although what I did is not known to everyone, it will eventually One day I will understand what this means to me."

The fortune teller liked these words so much that she stirred the food in the bowl with a spoon:

"That's right, Shade. Speaking of which, please call me by my first name from now on. There is no need to call me 'Miss Anat'."

"Okay then... Luvia?"

"Yes, that's my name. Does it sound weird?"

The whole city is under martial law, which means that today's original work, which is to accompany Mrs. Flamel to receive the inheritance, will definitely not be completed. And Luvia is now staying at Shade's house and cannot return to the Prophet's Association to inquire about information.

The two of them were trapped at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Fortunately, they had nothing else to do. After breakfast, they sorted out last night's harvest together.

There are now only five of the six relics left, and the Demonic Eye [Greedy Silver] was taken away by the [Lord of the Blood Feast] as a meal. The specific allocation will have to wait until Miss Bayas comes back in the evening. Of course, the sage-level relic [God's Gift Box] must belong to Shade. The lady who became an angel said personally that this item would be kept by him.

As for the remaining three blank pages of [The Puppet Operator's Script], Shade wouldn't touch it at all.

Luvia was very interested in the Impermanence card that Xia De had newly obtained. She borrowed it for research. In her words, it was an item related to destiny.

Shad explained that the Impermanence Card really has the power of the ancient gods, which surprised Luvia.

"Didn't you see the fight last night? Didn't you see the dark golden scale?"

Xia De was also surprised:

"I thought you had discovered it."

"Why do you think that mortals can witness the battle of gods? Although my eyes are powerful, I can only barely see the last moonlight. I even bet that besides Iluna, I should have seen the most things ”

In this way, Shade doesn't have to worry about exposing his identity. At the same time, doctors, priests and Miss Louisa should not easily associate last night's moonlight with Shade.

With nothing to do during the day, Luvia was in the living room reading the letters on the vampires and silver-eyed ones brought out from the ruins last night, while Shade was confirming his newly acquired power.

The gains in the ruins were huge, not only allowing him to be directly promoted to a second-level warlock, but also allowing him to completely gain two new magic skills [Moonlight Great Sword] and [Toy Making].

The former can not only fight against the vampires suppressed by Miss Bayas in the ruins, but can even cooperate with [Ragrai's Jump] and [Blade of Time Disarray] to create a very coordinated attack.

Of course, if it weren't for the presence of divinity, those cracks that followed would probably make Shade look better.

After Shade burned his divinity and became a god, [Moonlight Great Sword] even had a head-on confrontation with [Lord of Blood Feast]. It should be said that it is a thaumaturgy obtained by using relics. It does not require casting materials, and even the cost of using thaumaturgy is very low.

When using thaumaturgy, only the part of pulling the "Moonlight Sword" out of the air consumes the most spirit, and the subsequent loss is almost as fast as Shade's spirit recovery speed. Moreover, even if the sword is broken, another one can be drawn out immediately, so there is no waiting time. As Shade's Ring Warlock level increases, the Moonlight Great Sword will become more and more powerful. This is undoubtedly the strongest attack method that Shade currently has.

The only drawback is that the Moonlight Sword disappears when it is released. It can only be used in close combat and cannot be thrown like Miss Bayas's [Sunshine Gun].

Although the spirit and elements are injected into the sword, the sword can produce an attack effect similar to "sword light". But doing so consumes a lot of money, and is completely inferior to the long-range attack effect of "Silver Moon's Slash".
