The Whispering Verses Chapter 445: 【Witch Council】

At the end of the corridor, Xia De felt familiar, not just because of the white mist gate in front of him, but also because he had seen this corridor before.

Through the gift from [Father of the Infinite Tree], he learned the truth about the witch war in the fifth era. It was two witches who tried to end the fifth era with the power of the Witch Council. At that time, the passage through which the two beautiful ladies entered the parliament was the same passage that Shade and Miss Aurora had just walked through.

So, the one behind the White Mist Gate in front of us must be the [Witch Council].

To use [Time Corridor], you need "time" spirit runes, spells and time keys.

To use [Space Maze], you need the "space" spirit rune to open the wall, you need to touch the statue of the ancient **** and recite the incantation.

To use [Judge's Court], you need the "Balance" spiritual rune, the Holy Emblem of the Ancient God, and the incantation.

If you follow this rule, entering the space left by the ancient gods requires at least three conditional runes, artifacts, and incantations.

As for the [Witch Council], Shade knows the "Thirteen Witch Ornaments", which should be equivalent to the time key, the statue of the ancient **** and the holy symbol. The song just now should also be one of the conditions, but Shade is not sure whether it is a spell or the fourth condition in addition to the three conditions.

But even if this is really a spell, Spirit Rune Shade still doesn't know it. He didn't know the name and main priesthood of the ancient **** corresponding to the [Witch Council], and the name of the card corresponding to the witch in the Impermanence Card was the witch.

"Ma'am, what's behind this door?"

Xia De asked pretending to be ignorant, thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to tell the history of the "Witch War" that he saw.

"What did you think it would be?"

Miss Aurora asked.

“Behind this white mist door that obscures the view may be an ancient hero nailed to the ground by a halberd staff, or it may be a church pope who is good at using enchanted double swords. This is a difficult enemy we need to challenge.”

Xia De said casually.

"No, no, Mr. Hamilton, this is not a fighting arena."

Miss Aurora flipped her hair:

"Since you don't want to walk in first, then just follow me. In addition, if you feel any physical discomfort, retreat immediately. You don't have to follow me."

"Discomfort? What discomfort will there be?"

Xia De asked pretending to be curious. He guessed that there were conditions required for the [Witch Council] to enter. Although he was brought here by the witch, he may not be able to pass through the white mist door.

"It's hard to say, but as long as you retreat in time, I think at least your life will not be in danger."

She held Shade’s hand:

"Let's not waste time here."

Then he took the lead and stepped into the white mist door.

Although she was holding hands, Miss Aurora was not very strong and Shade could break free at any time. But the stranger himself was also curious about what happened next, so he followed the witch towards the door.

This is not the first time that Shade has passed through a "door" with a similar structure, and this time is no different from previous experiences. He crossed the door and stepped into a space shrouded in white mist.

It is very similar to [Time Corridor] and [Space Maze], and even the current environment is exactly the same as before the first two came into play. If you are in the corridor of time, one step is the past time. If you are in the maze of space, Shade needs to touch the signposts.

Miss Aurora still held Shade's hand. She turned around and looked at Shade carefully again, as if to confirm whether he really existed.

"Am I inappropriately dressed?"

Seeing her look like this, Shade asked deliberately. The witch shook her head:

"It's very decent, but a little unexpected. I mean, this ceremony went smoothly beyond expectations."

"This is a good thing, but what should we do next?"

Xia De pretended to look at the white mist around him and reached out to lift the mist. In these strange spaces left by ancient gods, as long as Shade summons the life ring, traces of the afterglow of divinity will appear on his body. But if the life ring does not appear, he will be in a normal state.

"Want to take a walk? The fog here is really heavy."

Xia De said, Miss Aurora seemed to be frightened and immediately said:

"No, never walk around, remember, never walk around!"

The brown-haired witch therefore did not let go of Shade's hand, as if she was worried that he would disappear if she let go.

"Wait a moment."

She raised her hand wearing the relic [The Witch's Golden Ring (first from the right)], kissed the ring surface gently, and then whispered in ancient language:

"May the hidden chaos protect me, who is also a witch."

This sentence should be the real incantation. Shade worked hard to write down the pronunciation.

The ring emits soft white light, which dispels the surrounding white fog and makes the scene around the two people clear.

This is like a sacrificial site and a conference hall. A large gray-white stone round table is placed in the open space, surrounded by thirteen ancient stone-backed seats.

This time Shade was not from a third perspective, so he observed the scenery more carefully. He could see a symbol behind each of the thirteen stone chairs. That symbol does not represent a sequence of numbers, but represents "time, space, earth, sun" and so on.

He could only see the symbols behind the four chairs.

Around the open space on the ground floor where stone tables and chairs are placed, dilapidated stone steps ascend step by step until the white mist blocks the view at the highest point.

There is no lamp as a light source here. It is the thin mist in the air and the thick white mist above that shines. The light was not very bright, but it was enough for Shade to see the red-haired woman already seated around the round table.

It’s not a stranger, it’s Miss Carina Cavendish. She seemed to have been waiting here for a while. When Shade saw her, the duchess was grinding her nails with a small silver-white file in boredom, with a book beside her.

He raised his head when he heard the sound and raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Oh, I was actually brought in, but you are really slow. Good afternoon, Shade."

She waved to Sha De as a greeting, and Sha De responded:

"Good afternoon, Miss Carina."

Wrown slightly:

"Sorry, have you planned something that I don't know about?"

"I was actually brought in."

The brown-haired witch was also surprised. She looked at the hand holding Shade, squeezed it rudely a few times, and then carefully let go. Shade did not disappear immediately.

"Should I explain what's going on here, or you?"

So Miss Aurora asked Miss Carina, but Shade, who had already thought about it, interrupted:

"I seem to have seen this place before."

He frowned slightly and said before the two witches asked:

"No, I've really seen this place."

Look up and look at the rows of upward stone steps:

"Yes, I have seen this white fog and this space."

"Where have you seen this before?"

Just now one looked surprised and the other looked bored, but now the expressions of the two witches suddenly became serious.

"The past time. Although the college thought I had only used two time keys so far, I have actually used three. In the past time, I used the time key to spy on two beautiful ladies heading here. ”

He briefly described the witch war, omitting key words such as the parliament and witches, and pretended not to connect the matter with the witch parliament. Then he sighed:

"I felt very confused at the time. I didn't know what it meant, and I didn't know who to tell it to. If I had known that this place was related to the Witch Council, I would have told Miss Carina directly. ”

"The Time Key can actually peer into the parliament?"

Miss Carina touched her smooth chin and looked around in disbelief, as if she was worried that someone was spying on them. Miss Aurora had never heard of anything like this. The two witches appeared together. Miss Aurora's Delarian is not standard:

"Is this an accident? Or does the ancient **** of time have the power to spy on other ancient gods? Or is it caused by Hamilton's special characteristics? After all, no one should be able to enter here unless they have the power of a witch. Yes."

The two witches turned their heads to look at Shade:

"Ladies, I am not a witch, I am a normal male."

He emphasized again.

"Of course you are not a witch."

Miss Aurora snorted, looking certain of this.

"Of course you are not a witch, otherwise your badge would react to yourself. That alchemical item is very reliable."

Miss Carina also said, and then motioned to Miss Aurora to sit down and talk. It's just that Shade can't just sit down on the stone chair beside the table. Every position here represents a seat in the Witch Council. Not to mention whether Shade can sit down, even if he does, the witch who owns the seat will definitely be able to sense it.

"Let's make a long story short. Although I am very sure that no one will come in suddenly, but just in case, Shade should not stay here for a long time."

Miss Carina said, while Shade took advantage of Miss Aurora's seat to observe the symbols on the chairs behind them.

Miss Aurora's symbol is "light", while Miss Carina's symbol is "balance".

"Hamilton, you may have guessed something. Yes, this is the real [Witches' Council]. The name of our organization is actually because we control this place."

Miss Aurora said.

"What is here?"

"The ancient **** - Chaos Witch, a great person who mastered the [Unknown], [Uncertainty], [Secret] and other divine functions, left the space left to us."

Miss Carina’s simple explanation did not mention the true power of the [Witch Council].

“This place has always existed since ancient times, and it follows a unified principle. Only those who have mastered the power of witches can enter here. In the sixth era, there are only thirteen real witches in each generation. In addition, The heirs and a few followers we have trained can also come here under our leadership. Needless to say, every witch in the fifth era is theoretically qualified to enter, but only witches who master jewelry are eligible to have seats."

"What about earlier eras?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"Just like the Ring Warlock system that flourished in the Sixth Age, but was not actually created in the Sixth Age. The emergence of the Witch system was not in the Fifth Age, but can be traced back to the Fourth Age. The Fourth Age Judging from the classics preserved by the Council, the number of witches is similar to that of the Sixth Age, and it cannot be traced back to earlier eras. Just thinking about it, there must be powers similar to 'witches'."

Miss Aurora said.

"We use this place for meetings and regularly exchange information, knowledge and relics. The thirteen great witches form a parliament, forming a loose but secret organization. This is the truth of the witches' parliament."

Miss Carina added, but did not mention the "voting" that Shade had seen once and the real role of the parliament.

"But I don't have the power of a witch, I'm sure of that."

He pointed to himself hesitantly and asked slowly:

"How did I get in?"
