The Whispering Verses Chapter 801: It should not be pure death

While Saint Teresa Square was busy, it was cold and quiet in death. Five people were sitting around a bonfire in front of the stone gate. The firelight spread shadows around, shaking like monsters in fairy tales.

Everyone looked at Sha De, who continued:

"The ritual of 'The Scar of the Holy Tree' is almost completed, but the problem of Hazama is still unresolved. I think there should be a fierce fighting outside. We need the power of the Chosen One to end everything tonight . But who should be the chosen one?"

Joy Barton has lost his qualifications. Even if he had not lost his qualifications, Shade would not let him become the chosen one. But now everyone has taken the initiative to come here from the narrow room, which is equivalent to everyone taking the initiative to commit suicide in the narrow room.

"Whoever walks out of here first will be the chosen one. Because all the other people in the order are dead."

Shad repeated again, then looked at Sister Devlin. Sister Devlin also understood this fact. She was the second in line after Joey Barton, but the nun shook her head slightly:

"I have embarked on the path of guarding the flame, and death is not suitable for me. Now I am not the only one who can be the chosen one. Perhaps, you can consider other candidates."

So Shade looked at Priest August again. The priest hesitated for a moment and put down the pipe that was lit by the first fire:

"What is the Chosen One?"

He asked curiously.

"In the Fifth Era, the "Mumbling Psalm" prophesied by the Witch mentioned that thirteen chosen ones will appear in the Sixth Era. They are the protagonists of the Era, and their stories will together constitute the unknowable Sixth Era. The stage of destiny, and affects the future of the entire world, and the chosen ones of death have the power of the ancient **** [Ancient Death]."

Xia De introduced:

"Priest, maybe you can consider it"

"No, I don't want to take on such a responsibility. The troubles in the church are enough for me. At my age, I have to care about the accommodation of the children in the choir and assist in the church's every quarter. I have enough things to do, including financial review and event planning every year on Holy Prayer Day. Those boring responsibilities belong to you young people.”

The priest shook his head firmly:

"Don't involve me in this kind of thing."

In fact, Shade is not willing to involve Priest Augustus in this matter. Being the chosen one is equivalent to being forced into the whirlpool of fate. Now, Priest Augustus has an arm at his feet. Obviously prefers a quiet life.

"Then we can only consider the fourth overall candidate."

Shad said, then looked at Iluna.

The seventeen-year-old girl also looked at him and blinked in confusion:

"The fourth candidate? Who is that? Didn't you say last time that you were not sure about the fourth candidate?"

But Shade still looked at her, so Iluna turned to look behind her suspiciously, as if she thought there was someone else around her. But after confirming that Shade was indeed looking at her, she opened her mouth slightly and pointed at herself incredulously:

"You mean me?"

"As of your arrival at Fort Midhill, there are four in total."

"But."

"Eyes that can see through darkness."

"But that's an enzyme?"

"I am an audience outside of fate. I cannot be the chosen one. Apart from me, a total of four people will die tonight, so why, Iluna, will you appear here?"

Although this reason was unreasonable, Iluna was still stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook her head:

"Shad, are you mistaken? I am the chosen one of 'Balance', and I have even performed the ceremony."

"But no one said that the qualifications for being elected cannot appear in the same person repeatedly."

Xia De said, Iluna thought for a moment and seemed to be unable to refute.

"It's indeed her."

Mr. Button’s soul, sitting next to Ms. Marilyn Handel, said softly:

"After losing my power, my feeling about death became more real, as if I had melted into death. This young lady with brown hair is indeed the fourth candidate."

Xia De was relieved now that his guess was not wrong.

But Iluna still doesn’t want to accept it:

"Both this nun and Priest August are more suitable than me. After the trial was performed just now, I obtained some new information. Except for the first candidate, even if the other candidates held the ceremony, they obtained The strength will also be weaker. The lower the pick is, the weaker the strength will be in the end. No matter how you look at it, in order to deal with the continuous troubles in the future, it is better for the person with the highest pick to take on the responsibility. ."

This is new information.

"Miss Bayas, you should look at it this way."

Priest August took another puff of his pipe. The old priest's expression was very kind:

"Everyone here has selfish motives except you.

Barton over there died to resurrect his beloved, I offered help for this hand bone, Shade dueled with a quarter of his soul for the Rhodes card, and the nun witnessed this scene for the firewood. But only you, Iluna Beas, only you did not ask for anything, only for the sake of justice and mercy, participated in this matter.

I dare say that although you are the youngest, at least in this matter, you are the noblest one among us. ”

Others nodded. The old priest was indeed the oldest and his words made sense.

Eluna was also a little embarrassed by what Priest August said. She was a little moved, but still shook her head. This is not a humble excuse, but a real unwillingness to accept it.

Looking at Xia De, the seventeen-year-old girl whispered:

"Xia De, the responsibility of the chosen one is too heavy. It's not that I don't want to bear it, but sometimes I also think that one person should not monopolize all the responsibilities and power. You all say that I am the protagonist of the era, But I am actually just an ordinary person. If possible, I would prefer that more people be chosen instead of having to face all this alone."

Power comes at a price, and Shade also understands Iluna's thoughts. She is not greedy and wants to monopolize all the power. She realizes her own limits and understands her position. Very few people can do this. Iluna's inheritance of "balance" is definitely not an accident.

So, Shade looked at Priest August and Sister Devlin again. The former shook her head quickly: Gu Shi

"Don't think about me, I have many things to do."

He kicked the arm next to his feet:

"Shad, when I return to Tobesk in a few weeks, I want to talk to you about something. Regarding those wings, I have many stories and responsibilities."

The priest seems to want to confess his secret to Shade, just like Dr. Schneider two months ago:

"Sister Devlin, you can actually try to take on this responsibility. Although I don't understand the original fire, but you seem to be looking for firewood? Fire is life, but fire is also death. Take on the power of this ancient god, Peering into death in the blind darkness may be of great help to you."

The nun did not shake her head this time, but hesitated for a moment:

"It is my responsibility to look after the First Fire. I can bear the power of death, but I cannot bear all of it. Inheriting death will bring me closer to death. If Joey Barton becomes the chosen one, death and rebirth will collide, and instead It will keep him as he is, which may be the meaning of being a reborn person."

Mr. Button’s soul showed a wry smile:

"Destiny."

"It does seem to be the case. Will living people inherit death and gradually transform into undead or living dead? This is a problem."

Shad thought deeply, Joey Barton spoke again:

"Mr. Hamilton, if you want to solve this problem, you only need to make the power of the chosen ones less pure."

"What do you mean?"

"The qualification of the candidate must belong to only one person. There is no such thing as two people with the same qualification. This cannot be changed. The young lady over there is already the official candidate, but she still becomes another candidate. She Perhaps part of the power of death can be obtained, then death will no longer be pure, and the nuns who inherit the qualifications will not slowly transform into the dead."

Xia De looked at him suspiciously, he seemed to know too much.

Mr. Barton held the hand of the lady beside him tightly and looked at Shade calmly:

"Mr. Hamilton, since you said that the requirement of the dead chosen one's ceremony is that all other people die, then when the lower-ranking candidates hold the ceremony, what will happen if the front-ranking candidates are suddenly 'resurrected'? ”

Eluna suddenly realized:

"If I perform the ceremony, but the ceremony is not completed, and Sister Devlin returns to the narrow room from here, then Sister Devlin will be the chosen one to die. And I will also gain part of the power. , very little power. In this way, the nun's power is incomplete."

"Yes."

Barton then stopped talking.

Only the dead chosen ones can do this, after all, it is impossible for other chosen candidates to "resurrect from the dead".

Shade glanced at Mr. Barton suspiciously, but did not raise the question in his mind. He had indeed lost his qualifications as a chosen one, but Shade felt that this man who was burdened with a curse had gained something else. Maybe it's because of Iluna's trial and his sins, maybe it's because he is really talented in death, but these are not what Shade needs to care about. He has already made a judgment about the chosen one:

"Sister, is this possible? You come to be the chosen one of death, but Iluna gets a small part of the power to make death no longer pure?"

In fact, after the death of the Dark Chosen One, Iluna also gained part of the power of darkness, as evidenced by the dark vortex. From this point of view, Iluna was able to gain the power of the chosen one three times in a row each time, even if only the balanced power was intact.

"That's good."

The nun nodded.

"Sister, do you understand death and the end?"

Xia De asked again worriedly.

"In the dim light of the flame, I glimpsed the world after the flame was extinguished. Yes, I understand all this."

Xia De then smiled, clapped his hands to signal everyone to look over, and announced his final decision:

"Then do this - Iluna, you will leave here first, and Sister Devlin will leave later. The Witch Council will be very happy that the nun will become the third chosen one. Iluna, You tell the church what happened here according to the story we just made up, I mean, reorganized, as for the identity of Sister Devlin"

"You don't know me, just say: that's a blind nun with a blindfold."

Sister Devlin said proactively, not intending to hide her identity from the church.

Joy Barton didn’t care about the qualifications that once belonged to him, Ms. Handel couldn’t understand their words at all, Priest Augustus squinted his eyes and enjoyed the tobacco, Sister Devlin sat on the stone expressionlessly, Yi Luna was still a little uneasy, while Shade sat by the campfire and looked at the moon on the water in the distance. The moonlight shone on Shade's face, but there was no excitement or joy on his face.

He lowered his head slightly, his face covered with large shadows; his eyes were narrowed and his brows were furrowed to express concern.

【Do you know what will happen next? 】

"Yes."

[Then why should we consume that drop of divinity in advance? That is your last drop of divinity. 】

"Because I'm afraid that the Duke won't come tonight because of fear. I can't be by their side at any time, but I'm always peeking. Tonight is the best opportunity, because tonight their duties may very well be... It's over. This is a conspiracy that lasts for two eras, involves many gods, affects several eras, and affects the fate of countless people. It indirectly led to this scene tonight. The story that started at the cocktail party and continues to this day is more like a myth, a terrible and gloomy myth, and I will never allow this story to end in tragedy."

Xia De frowned deeply:

"Even I only realized when I saw that hook that the blood-sucking Duke has been manipulating all this behind the scenes since the last era, and he just wanted to. Therefore, the evil **** is the evil god."

【?It's not for Hazama or the chosen one, why do you want to stop it? 】

"Just like the first time I blocked it."

Then a chuckle was heard:

[So that’s it, you haven’t changed. But foreigner, are you confident? If it really comes, you, as a mortal, will not be able to forcibly obtain divinity with just the ‘soul fishing rod’. 】

The first drop of divinity from [Lord of the Blood Feast], the **** at that time had just stepped into the shadow, so Shade could succeed. The second drop of divinity from [Lord of the Blood Feast], Shade was in a state of deification at that time, so he could succeed. But if you only use the relic in mortal form, the possibility of success is extremely low, and gods will not resist.

"I understand, but I am definitely not the only one who remains kind."

Shad stopped thinking when he heard the sound of the door opening.
