The Whispering Verses Chapter 679: Candidates

Chapter 679 Candidates

"This is really interesting."

Xia De made a dry comment and did not continue on this topic. However, Priest August remembered another thing and asked Shade with his pipe:

"Tomorrow, that is, Tuesday night, there will be a large banquet in the city. The venue is the courtyard of Fort Midhill Mechanical College and part of the castle. The nobles and businessmen in the city, and even the church, are all under the influence. Invitation. I also got an invitation, detective, are you interested in going with me? I can get another invitation."

"Who hosted the banquet? What was the theme?"

Xia De asked.

"Sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce. This week is the local traditional festival of Fire Worship. The Fort Midhill Chamber of Commerce will hold an autumn charity dinner as usual. At that time, some goods will be auctioned and then donated equally to the charities of the Five Gods Church. . There might be some relics in the auction, which would be interesting."

Priest August said with a smile.

"Charity dinner? In the summer, I attended a charity auction in Tobesk, and I seemed to have met Dr. Schneider."

Xia De thought:

"Then."

【.Then you leave the banquet to fight the Silver-Eyed One, and the banquet is actually the coming ceremony of the Lord of the Blood Feast. 】

"She" added about the incident a few months ago.

Xia De couldn't help but have a worried expression on his face:

"Priest, I still won't go... In Fort Midhill, I am not suitable to appear in front of too many people."

"That's fine."

The old priest nodded without forcing it, and then talked about another thing:

"Also, I heard rumors in the church that there seems to be a vampire commotion in the city recently."

"Priest, are you too idle in church? Why do you know everything?"

Xia De joked, and then confirmed the news about Priest Augustus:

"I also know this. The nuns of the Spiritual Order mentioned that the local vampires already have three sage-level relics in their hands. They seem to be planning something big."

"At this time, those dirty blood-sucking things should not cause trouble."

The priest muttered that vampires are not a kind race in the eyes of the Zhengshen Church.

After lunch, the priest gave Shade a file bag, which contained new information about the death chamber that he had compiled in the past half month. Although the priest did not enter the narrow room again, he also learned more things while following the Natural Church in arranging the ceremony, and then understood more things that the Church did not know.

When the two shook hands and said goodbye, another unexpected thing happened.

Shad's hand came into contact with the palm of Priest Augustus, and then the thaumaturgy [Ancient Voice] actually activated itself, giving Shad a piece of information about the original era:

[Angels are the original gods created by God in the First Age. The first angels are also the first creations. It knew those ancient secrets, but was forced to reduce its power due to the departure of the ancient gods. 】

"What's going on? Could it be that the level 0 relic that Priest August encountered when he was young is really related to the original angel, and that relic is actually in Priest August's body. Speaking of which, More than a month ago, the priest and I met members of the [Truth Society] who were trying to fuse relics in the cemetery outside the city of Tobesk."

Shad controlled his expression and did not let the priest see what he was thinking. After that, Shade sent the information to the Home for the Blind, and it was still handed over to the church by the Spiritual Order. Afterwards, he returned to his home in Tobesk, taking the cat and the coins in his hand with him. Using the "divination cat" as an excuse, he met Luvia again at the Prophet's Association on Silver Cross Avenue.

First, he briefly explained what he heard about Iluna and the steam airship, and then told what he saw from the boy, Sister Devlin and Priest August this morning.

Finally, he took out the blood money and the upright coin, and pushed them together to the purple-eyed girl across the table:

"Just like the divination of Darkness last time, please divination whether I have met the chosen one today."

Luvia's "price divination" cannot directly divine the identity of the chosen one, or in other words, they cannot afford the price they need to pay. But it is still possible to perform divination from the side. For example, this time it is divination of "Shadow's knowledge", rather than directly tracing the source to the chosen one himself.

"Don't waste the blood money easily. This is the only relic in our hands that can detect special coins of the same kind. Look at this, before Iluna left, she put the [Soothsayer's Silver Coin] and the treasure that is said to be able to find the Dragon Clan. The clerical relic [Dragon Blood Treasure Coin] was left to me."

Luvia took out a silver coin with a smiling face and a crying face on the front and back, as well as a blood-red coin that was as big as three times the diameter of a one-shilling coin.

Twist the [upright coin] and throw it into the sky together with the silver coins and blood coins. But they did not turn into ashes in the air, but fell back intact.

"The 'currency' properties of these three coins are not very strong."

Xia De said without surprise:

"Louvia, spend your blood money, now is not the time to save."

Luvia thought for a while, bit her lower lip unwillingly, but still threw all four coins into the sky. But the situation is still the same as last time, four coins cannot be used for divination.

"It's really strange. I remember when we divined Darkness, we only used one [Colmo Empire Gold Coin] and one [Death's Atonement Coin]. Why didn't four of them work this time? Is it because , the chosen one of death is Sister Devlin of the Eleventh Ring?"

"No, it could be something else."

Luvia held the coins and narrowed her eyes slightly:

"For example, the chosen one is actually someone other than the three people you know, but you met him inadvertently. Or, Shade, have you ever thought that among those three people, there may be more than one person? A candidate."

Before the ceremony is held, the chosen person can only be called the candidate of the chosen person, and the candidates are in order, and there is more than one. Only the candidates at the top of the list die before the ceremony is held, and the candidates at the back are eligible to hold the ceremony. If the candidates at the front still exist, or someone has successfully performed the ceremony and then died, then the candidates at the back will not be able to succeed in any case.

If the candidates for a certain qualification know each other's identities, then a high-intensity hunting operation may be difficult to avoid.

The characteristics of the candidates described in the "Mumbling Poem" all point to the first candidate, but other candidates with higher rankings will also have similar characteristics to the first candidate.

However, when the candidates for balance and darkness appeared, Shade and Luvia immediately locked in on the first candidates, which were Iluna and Darkness, so there was no need to consider anything else at the time. A matter of selection. Thinking about it now, Shade even suspected that Dr. Schneider was one of the candidates for the "Dark" Chosen One. It was a pity that Darkness only died after a ceremony.

"Among the nun, the priest and the boy, more than one is qualified, right?"

"Yes, so divination becomes more difficult."

Luvia nodded and added:

"Of course, this is only a possibility. But at least I can be sure that among the ring warlocks you have met so far today, there is definitely at least one candidate, and basically it is between Priest August and Dai. Sister Flynn and the boy."

"I really hope it is a priest, but forget it. When Iluna arrives at Fort Midhill on Tuesday, I will find a way to tell her the news."

Xia De sighed:

"That city is in serious trouble."

After bidding farewell to Luvia, Shade didn't even have time to send the cat home, so he immediately rushed to Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic in a carriage.

He really has a lot to do today. He and the doctor will have to deal with the sealed Balrog tonight. Shade is now preparing to get the key to the clerical relic [The Traveler's Travel Door].
