The Whispering Verses Chapter 1143: Palace, gifts and festivals
"The Palace of the Secret Keepers? You mean, the strange space left by the ancient **** [the Secret Keeper]?"
Xia De nodded:
"Yes, of course I want to know. In fact, I have heard that the three major thaumaturgy academies in the material world hold the entrance to there. In addition."
He took out his Rhodes deck and found [Origin and Knowledge]:
"Some light entered the card the night I defeated and disqualified the Chosen Lykins Plisha. When I woke up and examined the card again, it clearly felt like this Among them, there is one more door. ”
A similar thing happened when Ivan Darkness was killed in autumn. This means that Shade once again has a door that can be placed at will. Generally speaking, in addition to finding the corresponding entrance, entering the special space of the ancient **** also requires at least three conditions - the corresponding spiritual rune, the artifact that opens the door, and the corresponding incantation.
The door placed through the [All Things Impermanence Card] no longer requires spiritual runes and corresponding artifacts, but still requires spells. Therefore, even if the angel didn't mention this matter to Shade, Shade would come and ask about it.
"Yes, at this time, the door to the palace is in the cards in your hand."
The angel smiled and said:
"I have an obligation to tell you what the function of my Lord's palace is. There is no need for testing, this is knowledge you should know."
The long white staff touched Shade's forehead. As the vast amount of knowledge poured in, he understood the method and function of entering it. Under normal circumstances, the artifact needed to open the door is [Wise Man's Pyroxene], but it seems that it is not needed this time.
"Do you know this kind of playing card?"
He holds [Impermanence of All Things, Silver Moon] and [Impermanence of All Things, Knowledge] in his hands, and balance, darkness and death are flying in front of his eyes.
"The Lady of the Lake" shook her head slightly:
"This is the answer that Miyohan is looking for. I can only tell you that these cards may be more ancient than me."
This surprised Shade. Although the first wise angel Cherubim was not the first angel to be created, he was also a creation born in the first era. If the Impermanence cards were earlier than?, theoretically speaking, Shade should trigger his own thaumaturgy [Voice of the Ancients] when he touches the cards, but these cards did not trigger this effect.
"There are so many secrets."
Thinking in his mind, he put the cards away and asked again:
"Angel, I do not ask for knowledge and wisdom, but can you guide me to the next step?"
The lady in white robe smiled and nodded:
"Follow your plan and seek the answer in your dreams."
This time Shade understood.
"I will always be at the Lake of Cherubim, waiting for the final arrival. If you want to seek help, you can come to visit again, but every time you seek help, you need to complete a test."
By the time Shade and Mia returned home, it was already 8:30 pm. At this time, Luvia was waiting for his return in St. Teresa Square. She knew that in the last few days before the New Year's Day, the princess and the writer were very busy and were unlikely to appear here. Moreover, she was indeed concerned about the man who had just arrived not long ago. The body of Shade who forcibly used the word of sublimation.
"The smell of your perfume is really complex."
The purple-eyed girl welcomed Shade home with a hug. He looked a little tired.
"Margaret and Miss Sylvia have returned to Willendale City, and Miss Aurora is traveling with them. Miss Carina will return to the manor outside the city of Tobesk tonight, but She can't go to the city to find me just after she recovers, so she will come to my place tomorrow afternoon. After all, there are still many backlogged things that can only be handled by her."
Shad explained the whereabouts of the witches, and Luvia found the perfume bottle in Shad’s pocket:
"Why are you still here?"
She shook the bottle curiously, and then found that it was half full. She looked at Shade with a smile in her eyes:
"Don't tell me that the level 0 relic not only gave you the bottle, but didn't even take away its own essential oil."
Shad helplessly recounted what happened throughout the day. He talked in detail about what happened with [Desire] and [Swamp Witch] in the morning, with the three witches at noon, with Margaret in the afternoon, and with Sylvia in the evening. Miss Via's matter was a bit vague, but the girl with purple eyes still guessed what happened.
"The witches and the princess are both greedy. From this point of view, there is no difference between them and Lykins Prisha."
Luvia said softly, looking at Shade in annoyance:
"Now that you are the fifth ring, I am really alone."
My expression became more charming, and I bit my lower lip deliberately:
"I will be here on the New Year's Day, which is the day after tomorrow. After all, this is the first New Year's Day since we met."
The "Sushou Festival" plays a very important role in the traditions of this era. And spending it with your family is also the best way to celebrate the holidays.
Shadow was about to nod, but suddenly he thought that Lecia and Dorothy had scheduled the Red Butterfly Day on that day, which is next Tuesday, the 31st day of the Sleeping Moon. In order to spend the end of the year together, they even postponed the precious Red Butterfly Day for nearly three weeks.
"I know the princess and Dorothy are coming, I will discuss it with them, you don't have to worry about this, everyone has their own time."
Luvia said.
As the end of the year approaches, and the matter of the fourth candidate has been resolved, Shade did not rest too late that night. He just studied with Luvia for the upcoming exam until ten o'clock in the evening. point.
The girl with purple eyes also checked the body of the young knight who was affected by desire again, and bit her sweat-soaked hair in the early morning, fully believing that Shade had recovered his health.
Even a little too healthy.
(Little Mia is running.)
Luvia's shawl short hair has not been trimmed since Shade met her. When having breakfast on the brand new Monday morning, Shade asked about it curiously.
The energetic female fortune teller sat next to him with a spoon:
"I want to grow my hair long again. I haven't met you before. I originally planned to stay single for the rest of my life because of the chosen one, but now I have you, right?"
She said with a smile.
Today is the thirtieth day of the Sleeping Moon, and it is also the last working day before the Lunar New Year Festival. The Prophet Association will be very busy today, so Luvia left after breakfast and made an agreement with Shade to meet again tomorrow.
This made Shade very worried about how she was going to negotiate time with Lesia and Dorothy.
"We can't beat them all unconscious early tomorrow morning, right?"
The new Monday also means that Shade can take out the last gift of the year.
After bidding farewell to Luvia, he took the gift box upstairs and put it on the coffee table. The cat that jumped up and down in the early morning followed him. Shade thought when he put his hand into the box:
"Give Dorothy the pen of Etlaine, give Luvia the Book of Fools, give Iluna the fire of the sun, what should I give to Lesia? Praise [the Creator of Innocence] ! ”
I prayed quietly in my heart, then reached into the bottom of the box, and then touched a pile of parchment.
After taking it out, I found that the parchment was blank, but the ancient scroll was very special:
"Dragon Skin Book!"
After a little inspection, it was determined that this was an extremely rare 20-foot-long (approximately 6m) dragon-skin book in the Sixth Age, after most dragons left the civilized world. The basic material of this kind of parchment is still sheep, but it is a sheep with up to 50% dragon blood. In addition to special sheepskin, these parchments also need to be made using lost craftsmanship, combined with the dragon scales and dragon blood of a pure-blooded dragon, after a rather complicated process.
This kind of parchment is extremely compatible with enlightenment elements, and writing stories related to the "dragon" on the "Dragon Skin Book" as a spellcasting material can greatly enhance the speed and power of spellcasting. Of course, its greater role is to serve as a copying and learning material for those who are proficient in the Enlightenment Elements. The "Dragon Skin Book" is absolutely unavailable on the black market. It is a treasured material that has a real price but no market.
"Praise the [Creator of Innocence]! Praise the guardian of children!"
Xia De began to pray directly this time. He knew that although the gods left, it did not mean the disappearance of power. The gift he needed appeared by chance. This must be the help given to him by the sleeping god.
The task for this week is to "enjoy the upcoming festival". There is no goal, no specific approach, Xia De just enjoys the arrival of the end of the year.
He really hoped that all the gods he met would be as friendly as this god.
On the last day before the New Year's Day, everyone was busy, even Xia De. Except for the nuns at Fort Midhill and Mother-in-law Cassandra, Helen, and Grace who will visit tomorrow, he will give end-of-the-year gifts to all his friends today.
Of course, we can’t forget the “Year-End Rhodes Competition” held at the Prophet’s Association at noon today. This is a small-scale event across the city, and as the overall champion of "Big City Players 1853", Shard can directly participate in the finals.
This morning, I first went to Coldwater Port through the basement door. Old Mr. Edmond was found at the lighthouse outside the snowy harbor.
Shad gave a bottle of special ink and a bottle of red wine bought in Fort Midhill as a year-end gift. Mr. Edmond was very happy to receive this additional year-end gift. Then he also gave Sha De a time key in return.
"Don't be polite to me. Although the Time Key is also a relic, it has a single purpose and a fixed price. Don't look at the shabby life I live in. I am richer than you. This is the key to the middle of the Fifth Era. I hope it will be useful to you. Useful."
The old man said with a smile, and also told Shade the good news. All the expensive ritual materials he ordered had been purchased after a week of collection. Although the total price was as high as 2,400 pounds, for the sake of the secret of time, Shade still happily paid the balance.
As a result, his total deposit has fallen below 3,000 pounds.
ps: The last sentence of the previous chapter has been deleted.
If nothing else happens, it is that kind of arrangement, but it is not necessarily the case. After all, there is still a long story behind it.
I also said in the last book that it would be finished next week as expected.
ps2: There will be additional updates tomorrow during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
