The Whispering Verses Chapter 968: Rumors about Cherubim

"What is this?"

The dim sunset on Tuesday evening shone on the living room on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Although Tobesk didn't get as much snow as Huntington, the fog in the city was still impressive.

The haze attenuated the sun's rays, so gas lamps provided supplementary lighting in the evening.

Priest August, who was called here by Shade, sat on the sofa and took the small box from Shade. After opening it, he found a rough stone statue inside, which looked a bit like primitive civilization. Tribal remains of stone tools.

Priest August frowned, while Shade hugged little Mia who had been picked up from Luvia. The soft cat seemed to have slept well this afternoon. Luvia said that the female diviners of the Oracle Association fed the cat a lot of food today, but the amount of food seemed not to reach the cat at all. limit.

"This afternoon, I went to see the Lady of the Lake with Professor Kansas Drake from Huntington, and then had a fight with the angel."

While the old priest was inspecting the statue in his hand, Shade introduced his afternoon itinerary.

"Huh? What?"

Priest Augustus was startled when he looked at the statue. He turned to look at Shade in fear, looking him up and down, as if he was worried that the person in front of him was just a ghost.

"Oh, don't worry, that 'Lady of the Lake' was merciful, so I'm fine. Not only was I not injured, I also received the last of the sublimated language spirit runes, and the feeling of the fourth spiritual rune of the four rings. . I had a very fulfilling afternoon and even helped an old professor get out of the psychological shadow of the past. ”

Priest Augustus is still a little worried:

"Fighting angels? Young man, why do you always go on such exciting adventures? Sometimes you need to stop, read a book at home, take on commissions, and stop wandering around all the time."

Priest August knew that the afternoon would never be as relaxing as Shade said.

"Anyway, I came back successfully. After returning to the professor's house, he wrote a reply to Professor Manning, and then asked me to help him check the room. I found a bunch of books that did not belong to the professor. Those books They were all stored with him by his ring wizard friends, and most of them were related to the knowledge of the Pantanal. Although they were not very useful, they were at least interesting.

I found no other relics, but I found this statue. But this was not given to him by his friend the Ring Warlock. It was an antique that the professor acquired from the local countryside when he was young. It is said that there is primitive worship and belief in the 'Lady of the Lake' locally. But that was in the old days, and now only objects remain as evidence. ”

Xia De recalled what happened in the afternoon:

"Professor Drake didn't want to have anything to do with it anymore, so he gave me this statue as well. There's a very faint element of miracles in it, much better than what Dr. Schneider and I did last week in Three Cats The elements of the Holy Emblem in the hands of the guests met at the hotel are even weaker."

Shad picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Mia was squirming like a yellow bug on Shad's lap. Priest August observed the statue:

"There are indeed very few miraculous elements attached. I think the professor you mentioned in 1842 who was able to successfully visit the Lady of the Lake should also have something to do with this statue. It's interesting. I probably know which one it is. An angel."

The priest put the statuette back into the box. The statue was of no use to either of them, and Shade decided to keep it as his own collection to commemorate Huntington's adventure.

"Who is it?"

Shad asked in a low voice, and Priest Augustus frowned and replied:

"Cherubim - Cherubim. Yes, the pronunciation of 'Cherubim' I mentioned is very similar to the pronunciation of 'Lake of Cherubim' mentioned by Professor Drake, but what I said is A genuine vocabulary from the Second Age. After exploring my knowledge of angels and the power attached to this small statue, I was able to confirm that the goddess of the lake is a cherubim created by the ancient **** [Secret Keeper]." /

"cherubi?"

This is a very important symbol in occultism. In many rituals, objects need to be used to symbolize these angels to achieve the role of the ritual. Of course, the obscure knowledge does not record which god's angel the "cherubim" is. Now Shade understands:

"I remember it was mentioned in Basic Ritual Science that there are five angels in total."

Xia De’s first grade foundation is quite solid.

Priest August nodded:

"The ancient **** [Secret Master] created a total of 9 wise angels. As for modern rituals, only 5 are mentioned because..."

The priest frowned slightly and his voice became hoarse. Shade knew that this was an old secret that should not be spread:

"When the ancient gods left, four angels followed them and five angels were stationed in the mortal world. Among the remaining angels, it is even said that some angels passed on the blood of angels to mortals, forming a unique The cherubim you met is the most important cherubim. Although the nine cherubim are not ranked, you can think that they are ranked first.

Legend has it that he is the right hand of the [Secret Master] and is responsible for writing the gospel to bless mortals on behalf of God. He is the angel closest to the ancient gods. ”

"But why do those five wise angels appear in our time? What are their tasks?"

Xia De asked curiously. This was also his fourth trial.

Priest Augustus shook his head as expected:

“Based on your description, I suspect that? She will be as amiable as you described. You said it yourself, not only you and Professor Drake, but many people have seen 'The Lady of the Lake'."

The old priest sighed softly. He had just listened to Shade's complete story about Professor Drake, and he was quite emotional about it:

"For mortals, too much knowledge and wisdom is poison. Having seen the true appearance of a cherubim, even a thirteen-ring warlock will go crazy."

Shad nodded. What he needed to do was to find a way to find out the answer to the final trial, and one thing he knew very well was that his friends would definitely not be able to answer this question.

Probably only God can give the answer to the question.

"Oh, priest, actually I came to you this time to give you this."

The hand that was constantly stroking the hair on little Mia's back moved away, making the squinting cat a little dissatisfied. Shade turned slightly, picked up the huge stone box from the floor beside the sofa, and then carefully placed it on the coffee table.

After pushing open the stone box, Priest Augustus stood up in surprise and looked at the white bones inside. The bones of Shengbai glowed slightly, and just by existing in this house, the phantom of falling black feathers vaguely appeared in the ordinary room:

"This is..."

The priest's voice was somewhat distorted.

"Yes, it was a gift given to you by that angel. I don't know why part of the angel's remains was originally in the hands of the angels, but? Since it was given to me, I brought it back."

"Detective, I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise at the end of a boring day."

Priest August said with a smile, his hands that were slightly older than the young people caressing the bones that exuded white light. Little Mia also stood on Shade's lap, stretching her little head to look at the contents of the box. She lost interest after discovering that they were bones.

"That's great, 19 pairs of ribs. Shade, I'm going to give you a gift in a few days."

The priest said seriously:

"After fusing these bones, I can make more useful alchemical items and potions. Don't refuse, you deserve it. In addition, the quality of the holy water can also become better, although still It is impossible to directly produce No. 3 Holy Water in large quantities, but the quality should be very close."

After saying that, he lowered his head again and touched the bones in the stone box. His expression was somewhat similar to Shade touching little Mia.

Xia De leaned back slightly on the back of the sofa, holding the teacup in one hand and stroking the soft cat with the other. In the light of the setting sun, he vaguely saw the pair of burnt black wings flashing behind the thick-robed Priest Augustus. Squinting his eyes slightly again, Priest August's body overlapped with a broken skeleton.

As his level increases, Shade's eyes can see more and more "real" pictures. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Priest August is not guarding against Shade. Shade was very curious as to why in the accident many years ago, only Priest Augustus survived and actually integrated the power of angels. The reason for surviving many years ago is the priest's biggest secret, possibly even more secret than the fact that he holds angelic power.

Priest Augustus did not stay long and left with the stone box with a smile on his face. He also asked Shade what style of jewelry he liked. He would probably be able to make a gift for Shade tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. .

Shade said goodbye to Priest Augustus at the door, and the priest was holding the heavy stone box and was about to find the carriage when he saw the carriage parked in front of Shade's house:

"Look, I'm so lucky."

He also turned to Shade and said.

Then the two of them saw Dorothy, wearing a black floral dress and a scarf, walking out of the carriage. The blonde girl blinked and looked at the two men standing at the door, smiled and joked:

"Shad, priest, are you specifically welcoming me?"
