The Whispering Verses Chapter 715: Heroes and the Sun
Chapter 715 The Hero and the Sun
Because on Wednesday, Shade spent almost half of the whole day in bed. This "lazy" life made Shade think that he was affected by the [lazy] spirit rune. But in "her" laughter, Shade thought that it was influenced by seyu.
"No, I haven't opened "The Pink Book" yet."
In short, after eliminating the suspicion of Sister Devlin as the first candidate, the possibility came to Priest August and the first-level warlock Joey Barton.
So early on Thursday morning, Shade set off for Fort Midhill. Of course, he brought the cat Mia with him. After all, he didn't dare to leave the cat alone at home now.
After trying to contact Priest August in the Dawn Church, the two asked for a room in the Sikal Hotel.
Afterwards, Shade used the key of the [Traveler's Travel Door] to connect his home and Fort Milton again, and asked Luvia to come to the hotel to carefully observe Priest August.
"What on earth are you doing?"
The old priest wore a gray cloth robe and just sat on a chair the whole time. He waited until Luvia left before curiously asking Shade.
"Luvia has made great progress in divination recently, and she wants to do divination for all her friends."
Xia De explained that Priest Augustus suddenly realized it and didn’t think much about it:
"I have already analyzed the blood brew you gave me at the Fire Festival dinner. As you said, it only contains illegal hallucinogenic drugs."
"The local vampires are really just a group of drug dealers, so what do they want to do with so many relics?"
"Oh, Shade, there is no time to worry about the vampires. The problem of the narrow room is the key."
The priest stood up from his chair and patted Shade on the shoulder:
"If there is nothing else, I won't have dinner with you at noon. The church still needs my help. The large ceremony will probably start next week, or the week after that. After the ceremony, I can return to the church. Besik, I will probably be able to see you before winter comes."
After saying that, the priest said goodbye and left, while Shade stayed in the room. After an hour, the key was turned on again, allowing Luvia to return here.
"The first candidate for death's chosen one is not a priest either."
The purple-eyed girl sat on the chair near the door and gave a brief reply:
"But the strange thing is that the priest, like Sister Devlin, has a probability of being a candidate for the election."
"That's not surprising at all."
Xia De shook his head:
"I will go to the witches later and ask them about their results from exploring the cave in the mountain. In the afternoon, I will take Iluna to visit Joey Barton. In the evening, we will conduct divination again. This time, we must choose the third one. Find out about the selection."
"Be careful with everything."
When Shade came to Cassandra Auction House, Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora were both there. It happened to be lunch time, and the witches invited Shade to have lunch.
During the meal, they also explained what they had gained yesterday. Just as Shade thought, behind the platform on the other side of the large hollow in the mountain were the ruins left by the Witch Emperor.
"Violet Marshall, the ruler of Witton, the Witch Emperor at the end of the Fifth Era. But she was not a participant in the final war. Strictly speaking, she was the second-to-last generation Great Prince of the Fifth Era. Witch."
The knowledgeable Granny Cassandra introduced the situation, and Miss Aurora added with a tea cup:
"The emperor left many illusion mechanisms and ritual traps in the ruins on the mountainside. It is hard to imagine that those defensive measures can still be effective after two thousand years. Granny Cassandra and I were in the last room Only then did I find something valuable. It’s the great witch’s notebook, which records some knowledge about the witch, as well as some interesting recipes for alchemy items. There’s also a stone tablet that explains in detail the issues surrounding the Hazama Mountainside Passage.”
"So, the mountainside passage is really at the corresponding location of the narrow room?"
Xia De asked expectantly.
"Yes."
The old witch nodded very cautiously:
"The issue of the narrow room cannot be delayed any longer. The church is already preparing to seal the foot and top of the mountain. The seal on the mountainside must also be reinforced as soon as possible. Shade, if you decide to go with us, then next Wednesday morning at 8 Click here."
A week is used to prepare. It is impossible for the witches to seal the passage to the concept of death empty-handed. And after the two earthquakes, the evil spirits in the narrow room are definitely not as weak as when Shade entered a month ago.
"I'll go with you. Don't worry, if there is really danger, I don't have to go near the passage."
Shade promised. It was obvious that Miss Aurora didn't want Shade to go with her, but she couldn't think of a reason to convince him.
"Also, do you know about the four dead people who returned to the world of the living?"
Xia De asked again.
"I know, when the Speaker informed the Five Gods Church that we would help seal the mountainside passage, the church passed on information to us. Among the methods of stabilizing the narrow space, pulling out the four nails and strengthening the three seals are equally important, but Neither can completely solve Hazama's problem."
But for Fort Midhill, delaying the disaster as much as possible is what needs to be considered at the moment.
After lunch, Shade went to the local Sun Church and found Iluna who had sneaked out. They went to the Crow Club in Pig Tail Alley with Iluna.
In order to prevent Iluna, the chosen one, from being recognized by others, Shade once again borrowed the secret-keeper-level relic [Unknown Name Identity Card] from Granny Cassandra. This time, Iluna's identity is Agatha Holmes, the fiancée of writer John Watson. Because Mr. Watson saw Joey Barton's magical ability last time, he dragged his fiancée to give it a try.
"Speaking of which, why do you look so handsome again?"
This is the question that the seventeen-year-old girl suddenly asked when she got off the carriage. It seems that the flame of the phoenix is really useful.
In short, the two of them successfully met the "reverse man" Joey Barton in the dark room at the deepest part of the club. This gentleman, who is about 5 feet tall (about 1.52m), has abnormally thick limbs but looks very thin, is still dressed as he was last week. However, the turban on his head changed from brown to black, but Shade could still tell that he had no hair.
Joy Barton was also very impressed by "John Watson", a guest who should have died at the beginning of the year. After exchanging polite words, Shade introduced his fiancée to him.
In line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Iluna acted as a quiet and shy girl, so she just nodded and sat next to Shade.
Mia is still following Shade at this time, but Shade is not worried that Mia will reveal her identity. After all, little Mia is very unrecognizable. Although she is very cute, she is indeed an urban orange cat with mixed bloodlines. However, Mia was a little uncomfortable with the smell of spices in the room, and she was also full of hostility towards the crow in the cage at the door.
As for the crow, it seemed to be afraid of Mia. After the two people and the cat entered the door, it huddled in the cage and made no sound.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Barton. You don't have to divine for me this time. This time, please divine for Agatha and my dear pet cat Sherlock."
Shade patted the cat's head, and the cat immediately let out a gentle meow. The dim room could not hide the luster of its fur. The cat's nutritional intake was very sufficient.
"No problem, animals can also do divination, but the accuracy is not as good as humans."
Obviously, Joey Barton didn’t want to give Shad divination anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more real.
Same as last time, before officially conducting death divination, first use divination cards to perform divination. After Iluna explained the card she wanted to draw, Shade turned it over for her. The card was "Hero".
"Good sign."
The situation did not happen last time and everyone was very happy.
Then the orange cat came to draw cards. Shade was worried that it would cause trouble, but when he held the cat close to the coffee table, the cat just stretched out its little paws and slapped the cards in the second row. After turning it over, the card is "Sun".
The number of divination cards was not the original number of 108. It is said that there were only thirteen divination cards in the beginning, and the "sun" was one of the original divination cards.
"Mr. Watson, this is also a good sign, which means that your pet cat has very strong vitality and is very healthy."
Mr. Button said politely that he did not want any gold pounds, and motioned to the people on the opposite side of the coffee table to sit down. He was about to officially start divination.
He still took out the Rhodes card whose front could not be seen to cover his right eye, and then looked at Iluna with his left eye. The girl with short brown hair was a little nervous, holding Shade's sleeve with her right hand.
After waiting for a few seconds, Mr. Button put down the cards and shook his head with regret:
"Sorry, can't see it."
Although his tone was a little confused, he was not as surprised as when he was doing fortune telling for Shade last week.
"Can't see it?"
"Yes, it is a rare situation, but it is not something I have never encountered. Just like the soothsayers of the Prophet Association, it is impossible to make accurate words for everything. Even I can't It’s possible to see everyone’s death date, which is normal, at least more normal than your situation.”
Mr. Barton said, without giving Shade a chance to ask questions. He covered his eyes with cards again, and then looked at the cat being held by Shade.
"Meow?"
Mia squatted on Shade's lap and looked at the "child" opposite the coffee table with her big confused eyes.
After the cat meowed, the room was quiet for a moment. The inexplicable inspiration made Sha De understand that something was about to happen——
"Oh!"
Mr. Barton screamed and lowered his head, and the cards in his hand were thrown onto the table. This middle-aged man who looked like a child, but was actually in his forties, covered his face with his hands. Shade clearly saw blood flowing out from between his fingers, and his left eye was bleeding.
