The Whispering Verses Chapter 712: The rebellious person
Chapter 712: The Rebellious Man
Afraid? A walked out of the gate of Sin Mansion, and Shade looked back at the courtyard of the mansion filled with golden fallen leaves. Ordinary people probably can't imagine how dangerous this place is.
Sister Devlin and Mr. Bernhardt have not left yet, waiting for Shade in the woods beside the gravel path extending from the fence gate. The nun is holding a very familiar kerosene lamp in her hand. When Shade walked over, he noticed that there were dozens of blind nuns wearing silver eye masks standing in the forest. Sister Devlin did not come alone.
And Shade didn't notice them when he came, probably because Shade came earlier. The figure he saw before entering the door should be Armand Bernhardt.
"My work is done."
Shad waved to them, and the nun and Mr. Bernhardt, who was wearing formal attire, stopped talking and looked at Shad who was walking towards them.
"Mr. Hamilton, thank you very much this time."
Putting his right hand on his left shoulder and bowing slightly to express his gratitude, he seemed to have fully confirmed who Shade was. Shade was a little worried about this, but before he expressed this emotion, Sister Devlin said softly:
"Herr Armand Bernhard can be trusted."
Xia De nodded:
"Thank you is not necessary, I just hope that we can keep our secrets from each other."
"Of course, compared to you, I am actually the one who is more worried about my identity being leaked to the Zhengshen Church. After all, you are a human being, but I am not."
As he spoke, the elegant and elegant middle-aged man took out two business cards and handed them to Shade and the nun respectively:
"If you have anything, you can come to me at this address. Goodbye, you two."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Mr. Bernhard turned and left. Shade took a look at the business card and found that it was the same business card he received last time in the garbage alley behind the Sikal Hotel.
"What did you just talk about?"
Xia De asked the nun curiously. They have a very good relationship, so this kind of question is not considered rude.
"He didn't know where he heard that the cult was related to the [Witches' Council], so he wanted to establish a relationship with the [Witches' Council] and acquire a relic."
The nun said, and then motioned for Shade to go down the mountain with them. Shade wanted to entrust the [Spiritual Cultivation Order] to solve the problem on the third floor of his house, so he happened to not want to be separated from the order.
"Mr. Hamilton, have you seen the Ancient One on the top of the mountain?"
The hem of Sister Devlin's gray-black nun's robe is extremely long, almost sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground when she walks. But judging from the sound of dead leaves trampling on her feet, she must be wearing a pair of boots.
"Yes, its condition is very bad. I used the thaumaturgy inherited from [Huang Yue] to temporarily restore its sanity. The ancient one admitted that his condition was not good, but he still gave me strength to let him I just helped everyone escape, and one more thing, it mentioned four 'nails'."
The nuns of the Order walked in two columns, with Sister Shade and Sister Devlin walking side by side in the middle.
Sister Devlin was not surprised by the so-called "four nails":
"Grandma Cassandra will also tell you this if you enter the city today. With the help of the Prophet Association, the church has made significant progress in its research on the state of the narrow room."
To be precise, when the Church of the Five Gods was making final preparations for the ritual that would play a huge role in sealing the Hazama, they accidentally unearthed the information left by the ancient ring warlock in the Sikal Mountain area.
Relying on the deciphering of ancient texts, the assistance of the Prophet Association, and the special power of the core figure codenamed "Miss Balance", together with the fragments of the "Death" part of "The Whispering Psalms", we finally learned about the impending outbreak. the entire process of the disaster.
After three earthquakes, the seals at the foot, mountainside and top of the mountain will gradually fail. At the same time, the power of death that has been accumulated in the narrow space and cannot be released temporarily will prompt the four lost lives to return to the world.
No one will remember that they left, not even themselves. But they will serve as nails that firmly bind the narrow space to reality, prompting the death outbreak to approach even faster.
The last scene before the explosion of death turns the Sikal Mountain area into a ghostly place will be when all the seals of the three passages become ineffective. And finding and removing the four souls who have returned to the world will effectively delay this process.
"Those four souls carry the most fundamental power of death. Once the narrow space collapses, the power of any of them will not be weaker than the angel-level relics. Therefore, even for the aftermath of the disaster, Work, finding and solving them is also what must be done."
The nun introduced it to Shade.
The group is still walking in the forest, and the [Spiritual Cultivation Group] is very familiar with this Sikal Mountain.
"In other words, we have now reached the final stage before the disaster?"
"Yes, according to the current signs and the report of the Prophet Association, if the four nails are not found, disaster will definitely happen before the end of the Dry Moon."
"So fast? Oh, actually it's not that fast either."
Xia De shook his head.
In addition to the Hazama incident, Sister Devlin has also made preliminary investigation results regarding the "boy" Joey Barton in the Crow Club who can cover his eyes with Rhodes cards and see others die. .
At the Disciples Club in the city center, where Shade first met Sister Devlin, the nun told Shade the results of the investigation:
"In general, this is a rare person who has a reverse life."
"Sorry, is this a proper noun? I don't quite understand."
Thanking the servant for the tea cup, Shade began to listen to the nun's talk about the investigation report.
Just as Shade thought, the "boy" was not a boy at all.
Joy Barton was born in 1810 in the Universal Calendar of the Sixth Age, and is now forty-three years old in 1853. He is a native of Fort Midhill and was born into an ordinary family in the south of the city.
My father was a workshop foreman in a steam factory, and my mother was a female worker in a wool textile factory. Both of them died of illness more than 20 years ago.
More than forty years ago when Joey Barton was born, delivering babies at home was still a common practice. Because of the abnormal fetal position, Mrs. Barton gave birth to her child in the hospital. And very coincidentally, that hospital belongs to the property of the [Spiritual Cult].
Sister Devlin easily found the birth records and identified Joy Barton.
"He has a weird disease."
The nun’s voice is still so calm:
"After birth, his body grew rapidly and then aged rapidly. At the age of three, his height, weight and various physiological indicators were almost the same as those of an old man in his seventies."
A very plain voice told a very scary story.
Xia De listened carefully, extremely curious about this suspected chosen one.
"But then he did not continue to age, but became younger and younger as he grew older. This experience did not happen at Fort Midhill. After Joey Barton was three years old, he was The family was sent to other places for treatment.”
The nun handed the prepared photo to Shade. Shade put down the tea cup and took the photo. What he saw was a middle-aged man lying on the bed:
"This is what Joey Barton looked like when he was fifteen years old. At this time, he had already reached middle age from old age. This is what the cult was able to find. He returned to America when he was thirty-two years old and looked like a young man. The most complete photo of the fort before."
"He was an old man at birth, a middle-aged man in his adolescence, a young man in his prime, and now a child. Oh, so this is what you call a rebellious person. He should have experienced many stories in his life, right?"
Xia De said with great sigh.
"Yes, but in just three days, the cult could not find these stories."
Sister Devlin paused:
"It is worth noting that the investigation did not discover the origin of his becoming a ring warlock. When he returned to Middleburg at the age of thirty-two, he was already a ring warlock and later joined the Crow Club."
"Did he become a ring warlock in another place?"
"Yes, and his rare disease should not go unreported in newspapers. After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Barton, the source of his treatment expenses was not clear. There is reason to believe that the unknown The Ring Warlock Organization discovered him and became interested in him, so they provided him with treatment fees and led him to the door of transcendence after he awakened his talent. But it was obvious that his talent was not outstanding."
After all, it is only one link now.
"It is very likely that Joey Barton holds the secrets about Hazama. His special disease may also be related to Hazama. The Order will continue to investigate him, and in Cassandra After my mother-in-law and Ms. Aurora return from Mount Sikal, I will ask for the assistance of the Witch Council."
The two witches went into the mountain today to investigate the large cave in the belly of the mountain mentioned by Shade.
"I am also very interested in him. I plan to make an appointment later, and next time I will take another very powerful friend of mine to meet him."
Only Luvia can identify the chosen ones at a glance, and as the chosen one, Iluna has only a vague perception of the chosen ones. Shade wanted to take Iluna and meet the three current suspects.
"There is no need to make an appointment. After we visited last Sunday, we have made an appointment in advance using the relationship between Cassandra Auction House. You can go there tomorrow afternoon."
The nun handed Shade a badge with a raven pattern:
"If you have any new clues, please share them with the Order."
"No problem."
Shad nodded and believed that among Priest August, Sister Devlin and Joy Barton, Mr. Barton's suspicion of being the first candidate for the "Death Chosen One" was infinitely amplified.
After talking about Mr. Barton's affairs, Xia Dec finally had the opportunity to talk about his own family affairs. Now that Sister Devlin already knows Shade's identity, Shade doesn't have to hide that she lives at No. 6, Saint Teresa Square in Tobesk.
He hoped that the nun could pass through the [Traveller's Travel Door], briefly go to Tobesk to "observe" the situation on the third floor, and confirm whether a narrow passage of this size can be sealed.
Because of the help provided by Shade in [Sin Mansion], Sister Devlin would naturally not refuse Shade's request. However, the [Traveler's Travel Door] needs to be transported to Fort Midhill so that the nun can go to St. Teresa Square through that door.
No matter who hires a carriage to transport such a heavy thing from the abandoned tower in the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it will leave traces that cannot be hidden.
Considering the secrets of the Abandoned Tower and the [Space Maze], Shade finally decided to invite the nun to meet him in the basement of the Abandoned Tower in the mountains this evening.
Although in this way, the nun will inevitably guess the secret of Shade's travels between the two places, there is nothing that can be done about it. Using [Space Maze] to travel between two places is not Shade's core secret. For the safety of the family, being known by this nun who seemed to be able to see through everything was an acceptable result.
Although he has not known this nun for a long time, Shade believes that her character is very pure and she is a trustworthy person.
Did not have lunch at Fort Midhill, Shade returned home happily, and then carried little Mia to the Prophet's Association to wait for Luvia to get off work. He had too many things to share with Luvia, the resurrected undead, the secrets of the reborn people, and the two new blood coins.
The trip to Sin Mansion finally made new progress in the affairs of Mibao.
