The Whispering Verses Chapter 977: “Ordinary Man” Xia De
"Then let me play a game with you crazy people."
After sitting down, Iluna said softly. When she put her hands on the huge round table and looked at her opponents in the other two directions, she frowned slightly. A huge amount of information was pouring through "another me". When you think about it, it is a very complicated set of game rules.
"Miss Paavo said that we will have the honor to play a game with the chosen ones. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Miss, I hope you can have a good time."
Professor Angce still smiled, and after finishing speaking, he said loudly:
"Gamers are all ready, Mr. Secret Keeper, please start tonight's story."
After the words fell, before anything happened, Agelina suddenly trembled and grabbed Lesia's sleeve. Then, with a clanging sound like a dice falling to the ground, on the west side of the round table, the only place without a chair, in the darkness that was not illuminated by the skylight, a figure wrapped in a black robe and a hood walked to the table, as if It was standing in the darkness, waiting for the three of them to sit down.
No one can clearly see any of its physical features. The robe touches the floor, the sleeves wrap around its arms and hands, and it is even darker under the hood.
No one spoke for a moment, and the strange whispering elements made everyone frown. The two high-level warlocks protected the three princesses, but in fact, the three of them had their own thoughts.
Eluna frowned, and as she turned to look at the black-robed "secret keeper", her long brown hair was swaying. This was not the first time for the seventeen-year-old girl to face an angel-level relic. She felt that the power displayed by this relic so far was not very strong.
The figure in the black robe did not speak, but raised his right arm that was shrouded in the robe. Six ten-sided ivory dice fell from the cuffs, and the sound of them falling made everyone feel that their hearts were changing their beating frequency with the sound.
Six dice rolled towards the three people on the table, and finally stopped in their hands. Each person has two coins, one with ten numbers from 0 to 9, and one with ten numbers from 00, 10, 20 to 90.
Professor Anse of the Truth Society pinched the dice with a smile on his lips, as if he was admiring some art under the light; the cultist who believed in the evil **** [Mr. Fortune] looked down at the dice with an unknown frown. It meant something; Iluna also reached out and grabbed two jade-colored dice that looked like bones, and the cold feeling made her take a breath.
People around were looking at the three of them. Princess Margaret narrowed her eyes. She didn't notice Lesia observing her, while Agelina was half afraid and half excited hiding behind Lesia. Behind him, he bit his lip and looked at the three people in the light.
"Sixth Era, 1857 Universal Calendar, Scene 1472 of the Dice Story - Chasing the Thief [Jack the Thief]. Storyteller: Isaac Ons, Frippe Dion, Iluna Bay Yasi."
Sounds seemed to appear from all directions, and Professor Angce smiled:
"That's why the scene was chosen here. To win a game and win twice, Miss Pavo's plan is really brilliant."
"But how do we catch a thief sitting here? Since we are the tellers of the story, who is the character in the story?"
Eluna asked in a low voice, and the next words made her expression change.
"Please choose an ordinary human being as the manipulated character. The target must be familiar with you and be currently active in the area."
"What?"
In the wide sleeve of the black-robed secret keeper, a silver hourglass fell on the table, and the fine sand continued to flow downward. No need to explain, Iluna also knew that it meant countdown.
Professor Angce chuckled:
"I want to pay a [Coin of Wisdom] to make additional choices."
The blue coin is placed on the table:
"I choose the first-circle warlock Chogory Dius as my control character. He is currently located at Silver Cross Avenue-Golden October Restaurant."
"I also pay a [Coin of Wisdom] to make additional choices."
Dion, a cultist who believes in [Mr. Doom], also said with a smile, and also took out a blue coin and placed it on the table:
"I choose the first-circle warlock Lydia Penglo as my control character. She is also located at the Golden October Restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue."
"You are cheating! I can only choose ordinary people, but you..."
Iluna scolded in a low voice.
"Young chosen one, this is a fair game."
Professor Anse said softly. The professor, who was wearing a neat formal suit, was explaining his reasoning like a real professor in a university classroom:
"Extra effort means extra gain. We paid for the relic and you didn't, so that's fair. By the way, the hourglass's time is running out."
He also reminded me "kindly".
"Beas, there are many police officers with guns outside now."
Miss Green originally remained silent, but now she had to remind Iluna in a low voice. She put her hand on Iluna's shoulder to calm her down:
"Remember carefully the people you know."
"Beas, do you know the devout believers of the Church of the Sun living here?"
Mr. Modelo also reminded in a low voice and added:
"Don't be nervous. I have participated in the containment of more than one relic with rules like this. Just treat it as a game and a story. Extraordinary force may be useful, but in this kind of game, devout faith can work as well."
"This is the Seer Association. Maybe we can try the soothsayers who have high inspiration but are not magicians."
The bearded captain who created the church also said softly, but he was not sure whether the chosen one was familiar with an ordinary fortune teller.
Iluna pursed her lips and looked at the hourglass sliding down in front of her. Whenever she wanted to open her mouth to say a name, the "other me" would prompt her whether those names could be chosen. The "other self" of the Ring Warlock is to prevent mortal souls from directly coming into contact with the terrifying power of relics, so it comes into play at this time.
"I can also give you a suggestion."
Professor Angce said with a smile while playing with two dice:
"The story characters we manipulate have no self-awareness while the relic is in effect. They will only accept our orders and act according to instinct, and forget all about it after the relic's effect ends. Therefore, you should choose a character with strong self-awareness. Characters."
Iluna did not speak, one name after another crossed her mind. She was particularly sober at this time:
"To have weapons and combat effectiveness, it is best to know the extraordinary and have strong enough mental power to not collapse easily..."
She is adapting to this strange rule-based relic. During her training in the Holy See, Iluna read about some similar relics. She felt very interesting when reading the information, and fantasized about what would happen if she encountered it. This time she really encountered it... If her opponents were not "cheating", she still found it very interesting.
The sand in the hourglass slipped quickly, and no one came to disturb Iluna's thoughts. Because I thought of a name too many times tonight, suddenly, the name that did not meet the requirements jumped into my mind, and then the "other me" gave a shocking conclusion.
Eluna opened her eyes slightly, and after confirming the gentle voice in her ear again and again, she turned to her colleagues and said:
"I do have the best candidate here, that is my good friend. I am a little uneasy about involving him."
"You will lose your memory afterwards, and you will not even know about the relic. Bayas, you can choose the person you like, and the church will do the finishing work."
Miss Green whispered, Iluna nodded, glanced at Lesia with her peripheral vision, and before the fine sand in the gorgeous silver hourglass drained away, she said the name that should not be said:
"Ordinary person...Shad Suellen Hamilton, he should be in the Seer Association now. He should be in this room, but I didn't see him, but he is definitely still on this floor. ”
"Ordinary people?"
Lecia frowned slightly, but then relaxed her brows. Whatever happened to Shade was normal. The little princess Agelina thinks there is nothing wrong with this. She always thinks that Shade is omnipotent. Princess Margaret's eyes widened, suspecting that something major had gone wrong.
"Hamilton."
Professor Ance thought about the name in his mind and remembered that Miss Pavo mentioned that she once lost to the knight of Tobesk at the Rhodes card at Lakeview Manor.
After Iluna made her choice, three rolls of parchment appeared in the hands of the three of them. At the same time, densely packed building blocks fell from the sky on the huge round table.
The falling blocks made a strange sound. The seemingly messy small squares were built on the desktop to create a schematic diagram of the topography and architecture around Yodel Palace-Saint Teresa Square. The church ring wizards who are familiar with this neighborhood can see that every detail of the building blocks is extremely realistic.
"The Dice Story is about to begin. The abilities of each character are recorded on the parchment. When performing actions, roll the dice for judgment, and obtain additional bonuses based on the character's special characteristics and abilities. Certain unique symbols, You can give your characters special powers to make the story more interesting."
The sound still came from the darkness in all directions, and the three people at the table each opened the parchment at hand. Both the professor and the cultist showed a satisfied smile. The information about the first-level warlocks was dense. This was the biggest difference between the first-level warlocks and ordinary people.
Eluna opened the parchment of "ordinary person" Shad Hamilton worriedly. Through the rules, she knew that the people behind her could not see the contents on the parchment.
"[Mortal Luck] Shad Suellen Hamilton."
She first saw the names of the characters in the story on the top line. "Mortal Luck" is the title given to each character in the story.
Then, Iluna squinted her eyes and continued to look down, and then saw letters even denser than those in a math textbook. She took a deep breath and scanned the list of the four-ring warlock's abilities, as well as the various ancient characters that she didn't recognize at all, and finally closed the parchment with a sullen face:
"Winning is no problem, the key is to hide the fact that Shade is a ring warlock."
She thought to herself.
"Hamilton's luck is very high."
She sighed softly.
Tonight's story officially begins here.
