The Whispering Verses Chapter 1607: Black Moon Talisman

Miss Danister listened carefully to Shade's description of six generations of Edwards, and thought for a while before speaking:

"The Edwards family ruled that island not long ago. The first lord was the Klein Edwards you mentioned. This man lived more than three hundred years ago. It is difficult to find his identity. To be honest, it is difficult to find accurate historical information about this person’s life, but some evidence from Mohu suggests that he was a ring warlock.”

"So, the disaster in Green Lake Town and the past events of the Edwards family actually originated from this person?"

Shad asked, Miss Danister nodded:

"After hearing the information you learned, I can infer this. Shade, you are better than I thought. I have conducted so many investigations and have not found any precise information about the members of the Edwards family. But you did it.”

"I am also interested in the picture of the sun, moon and stars. Besides, it is not very difficult to go to Green Lake. The next difficulty is just how to find all the surviving Edwards. The two Fulan brothers, I can make contact."

"I have interesting information here too."

Miss Danister held the teacup and said:

"The image of the sun, moon and stars is very similar to the image on the back of the Rhodes card, so I contacted the Prophets Association to find out the meaning of the back of the Rhodes card, but they said that the image was not original, and It is a copy of an existing pattern. ”

This refers to the "impermanence card".

“I know you like Rhodes cards very much, and you should also know about the cards in the Founding series. The Prophet Association showed me [Origin and Destiny] and told me that the card back of the Rhodes cards originated from this card. And the [Origin and Knowledge] in your hand. Therefore, the clues about the Rhodes card are temporarily interrupted. Even the Prophet Association does not know which ancient fortune-teller these two cards came from."

Xia De smiled and shook his head:

"That's true, but I envy you for being able to see [Origin and Destiny]... Ahem, back to business, did you find another clue in the association?"

"Yes, you understand other people's thoughts very well."

The red-haired sorceress nodded:

"Although I didn't get any clues about the pattern from the Prophet Association, I accidentally found out that the fourth-generation father of four, the third-generation lord Pride Edwards who died in Green Lake Town, once lived in Green Lake. The Lake City Prophet Association asked for interpretation of a prophecy. That was not the prediction made by the Prophet Association, but was made by Pride Edwards."

"What is the content of the prophecy?"

Xia De asked.

"Those people are stubborn and refuse to reveal anything."

Miss Danister shook her head. After all, the Prophet Association has the obligation to keep secrets for all those who seek help. Luvia has said many times that the Prophet Association will never leak secrets. This is the bottom rule of the association.

"They refused to disclose it, so I went to see it myself. After all, it was a prediction made by ordinary people, so it was not very well hidden. The protective measures of the Prophets Association can stop others, but they cannot stop me."

The librarian lady talked about what she was doing as if she had woken up early in the morning and ate a vegetable salad, and then told the content of Shade's prophecy:

"When the day of reconciliation comes, the separated bloodline will return to the origin of the family. We will drink the wine of immortality together and escape from the cage of the world."

"How does the Prophets Association interpret this passage?"

Shad asked, Miss Danister shook her head:

"This prophecy was not interpreted by the fortune tellers of the Seer Association, but by ordinary fortune tellers. The registered fortune tellers of the association will not easily interpret other people's predictions. This is a strange rule among fortune tellers. But from the current perspective, at least the middle sentence means that all Edwards will return to the island together one day."

"It's even possible that the 'origin of the family' refers to that picture."

Xia De also agrees with this view:

"So, let's wait for them to come back, and then while they are drinking wine together, we can ask each one about the meaning of the pattern?"

"What you said is very humorous."

Miss Danister smiled and shook her head, she was not one to sit still:

"Next, you go to contact the Fulan brothers, and then use your own methods to find other Edwards. There are some things at the college that I may not be able to investigate in depth for the time being. The next investigation will focus on you."

She didn’t hide anything about Shard College either:

"Some people suspect that St. Byrons is hiding big secrets related to the chosen ones, and that there are secrets related to the reappearance of the ancient witch in the fifth era hidden in the academy... To be precise, everyone except us Everyone is so suspicious of me. The principal has reached an agreement with the church, allowing the church to send a team to investigate."

"Huh?"

Xia De blinked and pursed his lips not to comment.

Miss Denister continued:

"If we were in the Fifth Era, how would we have been subjected to such an 'insult'? Fortunately, the church still took into account the friendship between the two parties, so it was nominally invited by the seminary to send a 'visiting group' here. Our principal Sir, let me take charge of this matter. I hope they can find out something when the time comes. After all, I am also curious about how Miss Feliana and other ancient witches came across time... It would be best. , they were able to investigate and find out that the god-caller is our student."

As she spoke, she looked at Shade:

"Xia De, what do you think this investigation will find?"

Xia De shook his head quickly:

"I don't know, then you will handle the affairs of the college, and leave the affairs of Edwards to me."

Miss Danister showed a thoughtful expression, but did not test Shade. She had more important things to say:

"Let me remind you that based on your participation in the Ring City Riding Competition, as well as your talent and promotion speed after becoming a Ring Warlock, the academy now suspects that you are the chosen one from space."

"What?"

Xia De was stunned and then understood the logic. Carina said similar things yesterday.

"But I can't be."

"You don't need to explain to me, because I don't know who the chosen one is. But what's even more coincidental is that the Green Lake area may be the place where the chosen one holds the ceremony, and you happen to be there. ”

"I report the Fulun brothers. They also have space abilities, and they are twins, and the ancient **** of space is related to division and healing!"

Shad said immediately, and Miss Danister laughed:

"Okay, okay, at present, I can only say that you are the most suspicious. But don't worry, only St. Byrons knows about your situation now. I don't think you are the chosen one in space, either. If you are really the chosen one, it's the moon and not the space. I just want to remind you, don't let anyone see 'Shad Hamilton' appear in Green Lake. Otherwise, you really can't explain it clearly. ."

"Of course, I understand."

"In addition, your studies are the most important, don't let the investigation waste too much time. After I finish handling the affairs of the college, I will still take the lead in investigating Edwards. Of course, my students can be so proactive in completing the tutor's tasks I can’t be too stingy about the task. Please make some requests to me, Shade.”

This is what Shade is waiting for:

"There are two things. My sixth ring has obtained the first spiritual rune, Whisper-End, which is the spiritual rune corresponding to my sublimated word [The shadow of the silver moon guides the final direction]. I think Apply to the Academy for new thaumaturgy."

As he spoke, he showed off his life ring. Miss Danist took a look at it and nodded with great satisfaction:

"Yes, it seems that you are really working hard. So let me choose for you. What type of thaumaturgy do you prefer? Spiritual runes such as termination and destruction, and more offensive thaumaturgy."

"It doesn't matter what type it is, but I hope it has something to do with the moon."

The librarian is becoming more and more satisfied with her students:

"Very good, you know exactly what path you want to take, which is very important for young people of your age. If so, I recommend thaumaturgy to you-[Black Moon Talisman], this is also me Thaumaturgy often used."

As she spoke, the apples in the fruit bowl on the table flew in front of her. She reached out and tapped on the apple, and a small black moon symbol with a strange luster appeared on the surface of the apple. Miss Danister snapped her fingers, and the apple disappeared.

It is not rotting, nor disappearing like being erased by space, but turning into white fly ash.

Miss Danister asked:

"Please answer me, what does the black moon mean?"

"The three moons in the material world are the silver moon, the red moon and the yellow moon. The black moon usually refers to the moon in the lunar eclipse state. This rare astronomical phenomenon will cause the spiritual tide in the material world, and the ring warlock Fluctuations in spellcasting ability will also cause changes in the properties of some special relics, but in a general sense, the appearance of the black moon represents the darkest night, the darkness that ends everything, and is a symbol of destruction."

"Yes, thaumaturgy-[Black Moon Symbol] was born for this reason. The caster leaves a black moon symbol on the surface of any entity, and detonates the black moon before the symbol disappears, causing the attached entity to be annihilated. The time that the talisman can exist is related to the level of the caster and the spirit consumed. Except for the power of time reversal, it is difficult to recover an object destroyed in this way. The finger cannot be regenerated by restorative thaumaturgy. It can only turn back time or create a brand new finger."

"Conceptual destruction?"

Xia De asked.

"Almost, you can experience it yourself after you learn it. You can also hear the danger of this thaumaturgy. Generally speaking, only students in the academy who have passed the strict examination of the seventh ring and above can be allowed to have contact. At present, Saint There are only five users of the [Black Moon Talisman] recorded by Byrons, and four of them, including me, are professors."

She waved, and a roll of yellowed parchment flew from the bookshelf far behind Shade to Shade:

"This thing cannot be leaked. Write it down now and prepare the materials. Remember, you must not teach this thaumaturgy to others. As for you learning this thaumaturgy, I will vouch for you and let you become Currently the sixth Saint Byron's Ring Warlock to master the [Black Moon Symbol]."

"Thank you."

Shade quickly thanked him and then looked at the contents on the parchment. The materials required for this complex thaumaturgy are naturally unusual, but fortunately, Shade himself has a lot of the "Moonlight Water", one of the core materials of the ritual. Others that need to be prepared can be collected through various channels. List Although some of the materials in it are troublesome, they are not impossible to obtain through the channels of the Witch Council and the Light Guiding Hermitage.

The only trouble is that there are strict time requirements for learning this thaumaturgy:

"The ceremony must be held during a lunar eclipse?"

Xia De looked at this request suspiciously:

"Lunar eclipses don't happen often."

In fact, since outsiders came to this world, they have never encountered a lunar eclipse.

"Since I recommend this thaumaturgy to you, of course I will not deliberately embarrass you. The college held a teaching seminar a few days ago. I heard the professors from the Astronomy College mentioned that around the end of the month of sowing, there will be a short period of time. The lunar eclipse of time can be observed in most of the central parts of the Old World."

Whether this world is a planet or a place with a round sky, Shade is not sure yet, but there is indeed a time difference in various parts of the Old Continent, and the stars seen in different areas are also different. However, these phenomena can all be explained through mysticism.

"It's the tenth day of the month of sowing. You have more than half a month to collect materials to prepare for the ceremony. I think you should be able to make it in time. Of course, if you really can't collect all the materials, I can give them to you from my personal warehouse. You have some, but thaumaturgy is given to you for free by me as a teacher, but you have to pay some price for the materials.”

The sorceress said with a smile. After Shade read the contents on the parchment, she let the ancient parchment fly back to its original position:

"Let's talk about the second thing. Don't you still need my help with something?"

Xia De nodded:

"That's right, I want to meet with Miss Emilia Siamold and talk about unicorns."

This is to allow the witch from the fifth era to master the power of the unicorn form.

Miss Danister hesitated:

"Xia De, although the college does not prohibit students from falling in love,..."

She was obviously thinking of Shade's chaotic relationship between men and women. Not to mention the high-level sorceress she saw with her own eyes on the night of the Battle of Randall Valley, but according to Tobesk's rumors, Shade was entangled with at least three women:

“An elf in his fifties, converted into a pure human, is actually only fifteen or sixteen years old.”

"I'm really here for knowledge. If you don't believe it, you can watch us talk."

Shad said with a serious face, trying to change his image in Miss Daniste's mind.

"Is that so?"

It could be seen that Miss Danister still had doubts, but in the end she chose to believe in Shade's character.

This Thursday morning, Shade has been communicating with St. Byrons through a projection ceremony. The elf girl Emilia, whom she hadn't seen for more than a month, was very happy to see Shad again. Although the question raised by Shade was very strange - how to use the power of a unicorn if a person turned into a unicorn, the elf girl still gave her answer in detail.

By the time I said goodbye to Emilia and Miss Daniste, it was already noon. When Shade stretched and stood up from the chair, he saw Mia lying on the sofa and looking at him, so Shade, who was in a good mood, picked up Mia and prepared to go out for lunch.

He no longer planned to go to the Green Lake area today, so he took the cat to have lunch outside and then walked to Old John's **** shop.

"Dad John, help identify the relics."

There were no customers in the **** shop in the afternoon. After Shade went in, he took out the red copper bracelet he got on the island yesterday.

"Relics? Let me take a look."

The old man behind the counter was making tea very carefully. When he heard that there were relics, he reached out with interest and opened the handkerchief wrapped in Shade's bracelet. He glanced at the light, shook his head slightly and showed a disappointed expression:

"What did I think it was."

He took out a pistol with a silencer from under the counter, put the bracelet on his wrist, and then handed the pistol to Shade:

"Shoot me."

"Aren't you kidding?"

Xia De asked.

"Of course not, bullets do not count as your consumption."

Xia De nodded suspiciously, confirming that the mental state of the old man behind the counter today was much better than that of the pharmacist yesterday, so he patted his cat first to prevent it from being frightened, and then clicked the button Trigger:

Peng!

Because there was a silencer, the sound was very soft, and Shade's dynamic vision clearly captured the traces of bullets in the air, so he also saw that the bullets were actually bounced away after getting close to the old man.

"Don't destroy my store."

Old John waved, and the bullet was controlled to fly back and fell into his hand. He took off the bracelet and put it back on the counter, signaling that Shade's appraisal was over:

"I have seen this relic, it was about forty or fifty years ago. This is a clerical level (level 4) relic [The Enemy of Missing Arrows]. Wearing a bracelet can deflect flying objects. Missing Arrows, Bullets, even fireballs, and thunder are all within the protection range of this relic. The negative characteristic is that wearing it for a long time will cause bad luck, and it seems that luck will be bounced away."

Xia De raised his eyebrows:

"Then I definitely won't wear it. But the positive features sound pretty good."

"No, it's actually pretty useless."

Old John shook his head:

"The relic itself is passively activated, and can only maintain the effect for 1 second each time, and the shortest activation frequency is once every five minutes. And although it is easy to bounce bullets, facing the thaumaturgy spells of the Ring Warlock, it is difficult to To exert the effect of the relic, you need to consume your own physical strength. If it exceeds the upper limit, it may even directly cause the body to decay. For the ring warlock, you are not so afraid of bullets when you enter the middle ring. Bullet Protection], as well as defensive magic spells corresponding to spiritual runes such as [Shield] and [Guard]. Ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it, and the power of alchemy bullets has a clear upper limit. Since the effects that this relic can achieve, Thaumaturgy can also be achieved, but the effect is only better than that of alchemical items, so why use dangerous relics?"
