The Whispering Verses Chapter 718: Leisure
Chapter 718 Leisure
For the rest of the week, Shade had nothing to do in Fort Midhill, so he spent the next Friday and Saturday mornings preparing for the sealing ceremony.
Sister Devlin gave the entire process of the ceremony. Shade went to Coldwater Port to purchase the materials, and asked Old John for help with the alchemy items. Dorothy, Luvia and Doctor Schneider will jointly assist in the ceremony, but the ceremony may not be held until next week.
While he had time, in addition to reading the "Pink Book" at home and trying to learn useful spells, Shade also took Mia to the lighthouse outside Coldwater Port City and visited the people who lived there. Mr. Edmund of the [Light-Guiding Priory].
Shad came here a few days ago and asked this gentleman to help collect knowledge about the old **** [Sage in Gray Robe]. The knowledge of the monastery costs money, but for the sake of being an acquaintance, Mr. Edmond only charged Shade a nominal fee for the cost of production and transportation, totaling 1 pound.
This is in sharp contrast to Father John, who also belongs to the Guiding Light Monastery.
"Yes, we also know that the Third Chosen One is at Fort Midhill."
The sea breeze blew against the sea cliff, and Mia squinted her eyes and looked at the sea. During the chat, Shade mentioned Middleburg. Because he had asked Mr. Edmund about the narrow space between life and death before, the old man who was making fish soup knew that Shade was hanging out in Middleburg.
Mr. Edmund likes fishing very much. Shade even thinks that he did not move into the city but stayed here all the time. In addition to being a local black market, fishing here is really convenient.
"Some people have already passed through the Priory, but we are not a church or a college, and we do not have the ability or willingness to let the chosen ones join us. Therefore, the Priory just wants to know who will obtain this qualification. ."
The old man stood up from the fire and gave the fish soup sprinkled with special seasonings to Shade, who was standing on Huanhai Cliff and looking at the sea view in the distance.
The orange cat Mia at Shade's feet smelled the fish soup and immediately started to squirm restlessly.
"You have to be careful in that city recently, because maybe the whole city will be gone soon."
The old man also stood next to Shade holding a bowl and warned that the sound of the waves meant that their conversation must be louder.
"I trust the Church of the Five Gods very much. Since they can prevent the [Scarlet Secret Cult] from flooding Coldwater Port, they can also prevent Fort Midhill from dying."
"This is different. The former is just mortals making trouble, while the latter is a natural phenomenon. The world is collapsing, and abnormal natural phenomena will become more and more numerous and dense."
He began to talk about the views of the Guiding Light Monastery on doomsday theory again. Although Shade didn't really believe it, he still talked a few more words:
"Maybe the narrow space itself is a natural phenomenon, used to balance life and death."
"You actually think so?"
The old man asked in surprise, and then asked:
"Although the era change has resulted in the loss of a lot of information, what is certain is that the fifth era material world has five main continents. In our era, excluding the weird new continent, the current material world only has one old continent. The main continent corresponds to the Central Continent in the records of the Fifth Age, young man, where do you think the other four continents went?”
Xia De looked at the sea in the distance. There was a constant flow of ships in the cold water port in autumn. This is the most important seaport on the west coast:
".Merged with the current Old Continent?"
"No, no, no, the Old Continent under our feet is almost exactly the same as the Central Continent of the Fifth Era, and the history and natural environment can be matched. The three major colleges will not open such information to the correspondence magicians, or even the Five Gods Church. China has also completely banned such information. The fact is that the other four continents have probably collapsed. This is also evidence that the world is declining."
But Shade believes that it is also possible that the war at the end of the era shattered the continental shelf, or that terrible relics tore the land apart. However, he didn't want to debate on such an unanswered question, so he changed the topic:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Edmund, do you know [Primal Fire]? I recently encountered the Fire Cult in Middleburg, and I saw this when I was looking for information in the book."
This is the flame controlled by Sister Devlin. In order to keep it a secret, Shade did not ask any acquaintances around him for information about this relic. Mr. Edmond had no contact with the nuns at Fort Midhill, and he didn't know that Shade knew the nuns, so Shade raised this question.
"Of course I know."
Looking at the sea view, the old man nodded slightly:
"That flame symbolizes the power of the world, the First Fire. According to legend, before the beginning of the First Era, thirteen ancient gods controlled this flame and illuminated the endless void."
This sentence immediately raised the status of [Primal Fire] a little higher.
"It has been a relic from a very ancient era, and its rating is unknown."
But the nun said it was angelic.
"The Priory has been looking for it for many years, many, many years, because the prosperity and scale of this flame allow us to speculate how far away we are from the end of the world."
He seems to be able to relate anything to doomsday theory.
Xia De recalled the flame he saw. The flame was very strong and showed no signs of extinguishing. Sister Devlin, takes good care of it.
"Is that flame very powerful?"
He inquired curiously and took a sip of the fish soup. It tasted very delicious.
"Very powerful? Oh, young man, you have no idea what that means."
Mr. Edmond smiled:
"Only a few people are qualified to see the First Fire, and even fewer are qualified to guard the flame. Guarding it is an ancient honor in itself. Although the ring magicians of this era have almost forgotten the past history, But the First Fire still has an extraordinary status. It is said that it has been divided into several parts, but the Priory believes that in this era, there are still guardians guarding it from generation to generation. ”
Perhaps the First Fire was divided into several parts, which is why it changed from the unknown level to the angelic level.
Mr. Edmond thought for a while:
"In the Church of the Thirteen Ancient Gods, the modern branches of death, sun, and light may all master it, but no one knows where exactly. Oh, those crazy women in the Witch Council may also master it. The first fire may even be in the parliament."
"It sounds like an incredible flame."
Xia De nodded and said goodbye to the old man after drinking the fish soup. Today is Saturday and he has to go to the doctor for a meeting in the afternoon.
Mr. Edmund packed up the soup bowls and campfires, preparing to go to the city to pick up the goods at the dock. As a ring warlock stationed locally at the [Light-Guiding Priory], he had the task of purchasing materials.
While extinguishing the flame, the old man thought of the records of his ancestors he had seen when he was young:
"At the end of the Fourth Age, the ancestors of the Priory saw the undivided flame for the last time. The scale of the original fire is as large as the weird things since this summer. Maybe, the flame will also appear."
(Little Mia is running.)
It is now the middle of the Moon of Dead Leaves. Although it has not been too long since the summer exam week, for correspondence sorcerers who are far away from the academy, it is also time to consider the winter exam at the end of the year.
In particular, Dorothy, Luvia, Shade, and Doctor Schneider all plan to pass the winter exam week and enter the next grade.
Obviously no one mentioned the winter exam some time ago, but once others took action, the ring warlocks in the same group felt nervous. The four of them all borrowed some books from the college library this week. Dorothy even planned to use the winter time to take a course called "Alien Fairy Tales (Intermediate Class)" because of her abundant royalties.
This course will tell the famous fairy tales of alien races, and the course selection requires correspondence courses. Circle magicians need to pass the academy's mental stability test. According to Dorothy, the stories involved in this course were terrifying enough to serve as spells.
Shad's focus has been on Fort Midhill in recent weeks, so he doesn't have much experience to share. Luvia is busy doing horoscopes at night, waiting for the arrival of the whale in the sea of stars. The first edition of Dorothy's new book is about to be printed and published. These days, she is busy reviewing the manuscript for the last time with the editorial department.
Only Dr. Schneider has had a lot of free time recently to "adventure" in the city, and this time he also shares his story.
That is not a novel story. It all started two weeks ago when the doctor received a 16-year-old boy with suicidal tendencies. During the two-hour conversation that lasted for a week, the doctor gradually discovered that he seemed to have a split personality.
But after a week of in-depth treatment, the doctor gradually discovered something was wrong. Because in his dream, he actually dreamed of the terrifying monster described by the boy, and was being chased.
So, the doctor who was good at the power of dreams killed the monster in his dream, sneaked into his patient's home late at night, and searched the house thoroughly. Then a magical potion was used to put the patient into a deep sleep, and he was taken to a cemetery in the suburbs for a ceremony. Finally, the evil spirit attached to the boy's body was channeled, and a fierce battle started with it in the cemetery.
"That's really not easy."
Sitting on the sofa and talking about this matter, the doctor was a little sad:
"That evil spirit is actually the patient's twin brother. But when they were born, one was a live fetus and the other was a stillborn fetus. The souls were entangled together, sixteen years of resentment, and they didn't know where they came into contact. The influence of the whispering element created a terrifying undead."
"Doctor, the theft at Wilde's house mentioned in the news on Thursday was not your fault, was it?"
The blonde writer suddenly asked with a smile:
"I heard that the police at Ridwich Field regard this matter as a major flaw in the public security management of the Autumn Capital."
"That is also a last resort."
The doctor explained, his voice a little quieter.
"On Thursday night, the public cemetery outside the city was destroyed. Was it you who did it? The church forwarded the matter to the association and asked the association to investigate whether the ring magician was involved in the matter, but the divination found nothing. It has been transferred back to Ridwich Field as an ordinary case."
Luvia also asked with a smile.
"This is also a last resort."
The doctor emphasized again, trying to avoid further questioning by changing the subject to Shade.
Doctor Bill Schneider is only in the middle of the ring, but he is already an almost unstoppable powerhouse for ordinary people. Even though we are already in the age of steam, the civilization created by ordinary people's hands has obscured the light of extraordinary people under the dust of history. But the world is still very dangerous for ordinary people who are not exposed to the mystical. Not all ring warlocks are as kind as Dr. Schneider. Even if there is a devil living in his heart.
