The Whispering Verses Chapter 2405: Ranking of candidates
Chapter 2406 Candidate Ranking
"Speaking of which, I wonder if you have noticed it."
Xia De asked:
"Poet-level [Ointment Slug] ointment, Keeper-level [Star Sword Stone] special alloy, Sage-level [Unknown Swordsmith's Apron] swordsmith, Angel-level [Ancient Dragon Transformation] Assuming these are the materials for the Chosen Ceremony, do you think this is like forging a sword?"
The purple-eyed fortune teller nodded immediately:
"The ointment is sword oil, the special alloy of the Star Sword Stone is the main material, and the swordsmith is the swordsmith. The dragon in the dragon stone may be used to test swords, or it may be in demand for this special dragon. Yes, it does look like it’s made of bones or blood.”
"But do you really only need these four items?"
Tifa asked again, Shade shook his head:
"A fifth piece may be needed. If [Ointment Slug] corresponds to light, [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone] corresponds to dragon, and the other two pieces correspond to what is needed for making swords, then at least one piece should correspond to [Justice]. That one The three most important functions of the ancient gods are light, dragon and justice. They are all very ancient relics, and the purpose of the "Light Chaser" leaving this notebook is not clear. In short, we need to find the apron and the slug first, and then we have to find it. See what information the dragon scales can display."
"The four dragon scales of black, green, gold and silver correspond to the Black, Wood, Belindle and Silver families. Bella and I will divine the locations of the remaining three as soon as possible. We have been in Busy with this."
Luvia promised, Shade nodded and didn't ask much about their progress. He was still very relieved about Luvia.
There is nothing much to talk about in the investigation records of [Eternal Light]. Shade just asked the maids to help summarize the key points, and then he would read it himself.
Everyone had lunch together in the manor at noon, but because the witches have been busy recently, they dispersed after lunch.
Of course Shade had something to do this afternoon. After lunch, he and Luvia went out to Spider Alley.
The meeting time arranged with John Flynn on the Moon Bay Bridge in "The Edge of Life and Death" last night was at two o'clock in the afternoon. Shade originally wanted Luvia to ambush around the street and take a look at him to confirm his identity. But Luvia entered the tavern with him:
"I'll sit next to you and meet him. I'll just disguise my face."
Compared with Shade, John Flynn came alone. He showed up on time at 1:58. When he saw Shade at the table by the wall, he waved his hand and walked over.
Of course he noticed that there was a stranger sitting next to Shade this time, but considering that Shade was always surrounded by different people almost every time, he was not surprised:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Watson."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Flynn, let's keep the story short, everyone is very busy."
John Flynn sat down opposite Shade and Luvia, folded his hands and placed them on the table:
"That's what I mean too."
"This time they came for the [Light Worshipers Training Conference], and they acted very strangely. The initial rumor was that they cooperated with the [Dragon Feast Sect] to help the [Dragon Feast Sect], which has little power in the local area. But the [Dragon Cult] has done so much in Yuewan in the past month or so, but the [Light Worshipers Training Association] has not done anything.”
He stared at the person across the table:
“I initially thought that the [Light Worshipers Training Society] was manipulating the local organization [Eternal Light] to do things secretly, but later it was confirmed that the two were just a cooperative relationship, and the former even wanted to annex the latter but failed.
So, we met the Light Chasers in the fog last night, which was one of the few things they did proactively. The loss of control on the verge of life and death was definitely caused by his use of a strange object (note). Although you have a small number of people, the investigation progress is definitely not slow. I would like to know if you have any news about the [Light Worshipers Seminar]? ”
John Flynn nodded, but did not pick up Shade’s pen and paper:
"Our team of four is a standard adventurer team. Even if we are not in a dangerous wilderness, but in a bustling city, we still have a place to play our part. Speaking of which, Moon Bay is really prosperous. The most recent one For many months, I have explored so many things in taverns, underground black markets, gang stations, noble manors, and underground ruins, it is almost more exciting than life in the New World."
Of course he didn’t change the subject:
"Yes, I do have some information here. You saved us last Sunday, and I should be grateful, but my information is also very vague. I think you should know that the ultimate goal of those crazy people has always been It is to guide human beings to become light.”
"Yes."
"Their purpose in Moon Bay is also this. Let the [Dragon Cult] rush in front and pretend that they care about the chosen ones just like those cultists. This is actually true, [Light Worshipers] Training Conference] It is true that there is no such thing as giving up on the chosen ones.
But their real purpose is to divert the attention of the cultists. They hide and operate secretly, only occasionally taking action to show their existence. Judging from the information we have so far, they plan to take advantage of the chaos when the city is destroyed on the day when the prophecy of Yuewan comes true, and launch a large-scale ceremony to turn the entire city into light. ”
Luvia sat next to Shade and said nothing, while Shade raised his eyebrows, guessing that the notebook last night was simply the "Light Chaser" trying to divert their attention and help them find something to do. . But if this is the case, the plan for the [Light Worshipers Training Conference] should be almost completed:
"What you said can explain a lot of things. [Light Worshipers Training Group] has mastered the method of using that special light and has the ability to do so. But, what is your source of information?"
John Flynn shook his head slightly:
"Sorry, in order to protect the safety of the person who gave me the information, please allow me to keep the source confidential."
Shad remembered the scene he saw in the memory of Mr. Bernhardt in the past. In the sixth era when the Moon Bay Bridge was suspected to have been built, Mr. Bernhardt died there. The scene turned the entire city into a disaster of light.
"Do you know what method they are going to use?"
He asked again, and the young man across the table thought for a moment before shaking his head:
"I don't know for the moment. In fact, the church has also been on guard against the [Light Worshipers Seminar]. Even without me reminding them, the church can guess what those madmen want to do. If they can't find them, , currently we can only study how to safely defend against that strange light.
Although some high-level relics have a weakening effect on that light, it is obvious that the church wants a method that can be popularized. ”
John Flynn talked with Shade for a while longer, and before leaving, at Shade's request, he read the note written by Shade.
And when he really left the Spider Hotel, Luvia looked at Shade:
"Second candidate."
"Are you sure you are the second candidate?"
"Of course. According to the current ranking, the first one is unknown, the second is John Flynn, I haven't seen the egg yet, but it should be that thing and Amelia in third or fourth place, and finally It's Priest August. The Sword of the Wind King, the Bone Sacrifice Sword, the Ocarina of Time, and the Angel's Right Arm are ranked first. If a stranger who no one knows suddenly appears, he is probably the holder of [Blood Sorrow]. ”
Xia De sighed and looked in the direction of the autopsy room not far away:
"I think I have the answer."
The girl with purple eyes raised her eyebrows:
"I see you are hesitating."
"Yes, in fact, it is also beneficial for him to become the chosen one of the light. [Blood Sorrow] is held by a vampire. In this way, the red wine-loving Duke can help me seriously, but I There are still some concerns about him. His mental state is not as stable as the John Flynn we just met."
Xia De frowned:
"We really encountered a problem this time. Except for the egg that absolutely cannot be the chosen one, none of the candidates this time are bad guys in the traditional sense."
"After all, it is light and justice. It is normal that most of the people who meet the requirements are good people."
Luvia said with a smile, she was not worried at all and did not urge Shade to make a decision:
"Anyway, the final battle has not come yet, you still have time to think. Shade, do you remember? Our original purpose is to witness the stories of the chosen ones, it doesn't matter whether it is the best choice."
After all, the long-haired Luvia in the past life had chosen the "best choice" many times, but it was obviously not the right answer.
"I understand, Luvia, I understand everything."
The ranking of John Flynn has been determined, and the identities of the "Light" candidates are almost all clear. As long as a stranger doesn't suddenly pop up claiming that he is also a candidate, it is basically certain that the seventh candidate will be selected from these five people.
Luvia is very satisfied with the result. According to her, although the number of candidates this time is a bit larger, the quality of the candidates to choose from is quite good. Emilia, Priest Augustus and even John Flynn are all ideal candidates.
Of course, she will not interfere with Shade's final choice.
After that, Luvia left south and went to the "Brilliant Messenger" at the dock to return to Belindel Manor. Shade sat in the tavern for a while, then stood up and walked to the autopsy room at the end of Spider Alley.
It is a pity that Shade neither met Mr. Bernhardt nor Mr. Ptolemy Albert in the autopsy room that afternoon. The latter went out to deal with his own personal matters, and he was not what Shade imagined. He had been active in the autopsy room except for resting at home.
Of course, there are other coroners working here. After hearing that Shade was a friend of Mr. Albert, the other party warmly invited him to wait in a clean and smell-free office:
"Ptolemy said he would be back before dinner, and he kept his word. Once he promised to give me a vase that was not in use at home, but he forgot to bring it the next day. Later he ran home to get it. Yes, he is the most honest guy I have ever met. He will definitely be back before five-thirty."
PS: This is not a relic, it is a magical item! So it was written as a wonder! Please don't remind me over and over again that I changed it, it's not a bug! ! !
