The Whispering Verses Chapter 1226: The Golden Dawn


Chapter 1226 The Past of the Golden Dawn

After returning to the city from outside Randall Valley, Shade returned directly to his home in Tobesk. Considering that we were going to spend the night in the wild tonight, we definitely couldn't take little Mia with us. So Shade hurriedly took the cat to find Dorothy, but Dorothy was not at home that afternoon.

After asking around, Xia De found the writer who had just finished her speech in the lecture hall of Tobesk Second Mechanical College.

She was invited to give a lecture on popular novel writing today, so she wore light makeup. Seeing Shade waiting for her at the door, the blonde girl happily invited Shade to have dinner with her tonight, but Shade refused:

"I'm spending the night in Randall Valley tonight, oh, don't get me wrong."

Xia De saw the teasing expression on the blonde girl:

"Not at Luvia's place. In fact, since Luvia left Tobesk, I have never been with her again. I want to spend the night in the wild, waiting for something to happen, so I entrust you to take care of me tonight. "Mia."

He handed his cat to Dorothy. Recently, Dorothy often helped Shade take care of it, so Mia did not refuse:

"Just pay attention to your own safety. Remember to come to me as soon as possible when you come back. I will probably worry all night again."

After saying that, I was very satisfied to see a guilty expression on Sha De’s face:

"Shad, this is just an exaggeration. Be safe and remember to come back early."

After looking left and right to make sure there was no one in the corridor, she ruffled the hair around her ears rather calmly, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face. A faint blush appeared on the blonde girl's face. If it were Lesia's soul, she would never have such a shy expression:

"Also, don't neglect Luvia. Really, it's not like Lesiya and I spend the night at your place every night. If you do, Luvia will misunderstand me. ”

After handling Mia's matter, Shade took the [Night Watcher] and returned to Randall Valley. When they met at the witch's manor, three ninth-level sorceresses and five middle-level sorceresses had gathered around the witch. It was obvious that she took this operation very seriously.

Miss Lassers was not part of tonight's operation. Before everyone set off, she told Shade and Miss Benanis to pay attention to their safety. And such a huge team was divided into three carriages and set off.

As for the [Night Watcher], because it was placed in the scabbard made by the old witch, it did not arouse Miss Benenice's suspicion. If it was not necessary, Shade would not use the power of this sword at will tonight.

When we arrived at Qingcao Farm, the sun had already set below the city, leaving only the last trace of afterglow that filled the city, making it golden. A group of ten people changed horses at Qingcao Farm and rode into the forest, and the little white beast followed them as expected.

Miss Benenice and Shade want to stop it, but even baby unicorns are not that easy to deal with. On the other hand, the other ladies in the team were particularly happy about the appearance of this little beast, which greatly improved the morale of the team.

When we arrived at the camp under the cliff we found in the afternoon, the sun had completely set. The dark mountain forest of Xi Ti is a bit scary, but because there are companions around, the feeling of terror is not very serious.

Without Miss Benenice and Shade taking action, the witch's followers began to build camps and bonfires, and arrange defense, warning and reconnaissance methods nearby.

Shadow and the Witch were sitting by the campfire waiting for dinner. The pure white beast lay beside Shad, with the [Night Watch] lying in front of him. The light of the bonfire illuminated the face of Shade, who was wearing a cold-proof cloak. Miss Benanis held the tea cup and curiously said to Shade who was sitting next to him:

"It's really interesting. Unicorns really like you. Unicorns obviously prefer pure girls and ignorant children, and you don't fit any of them."

"I don't know either."

Shade touched the forehead of the little beast, who squinted his eyes and enjoyed the touch. I have to admit, the touch of its fur is almost as good as that of little Mia.

"In fact, a lot of things happened to me that I still can't figure out."

Shad looked at the young girl with brown hair, busy grilling meat by the campfire. The girls in the troupe are very good at cooking, much better than the outsiders:

"When I have time, I can tell you my story, many stories."

The witch smiled:

"I haven't forgotten that I lost the horse racing in the morning. We will probably have to wait until very late tonight. I happen to have time. What story do you want to hear from me?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"I heard from Miss Carina and Miss Aurora that you only met Miss Lassus when the original Golden Dawn was about to collapse. I don't understand how she can become the old one when she is so young. Where is the leader of the religious group? Because her father disappeared? I heard you said this on Sunday."

Even in the era when the old gods left, the leaders of the cult were generally older people.

"Things were complicated, partly because Siris was the strongest in the cult at the time."

Miss Benenice looked at the bonfire and recalled the past:

"Now she is the seventh ring. When I met her, she was already the fifth ring at the age of fifteen. Even in the three major thaumaturgy academies, reaching the fifth ring at this age is enough to be called a Genius, let alone the Old God Order, which is heading towards decay. You know how difficult it is for a Ring Warlock to be promoted without systematic training. When I met her, there were only five Ring Warlocks in the entire Order, and Sirius was the one. The only middle-level warlock among them."

This is much better than having only one old lady left in the [Earth-shaking Worm] cult.

Recalling the past, Miss Benanis’s lips curled into a smile:

"By the way, Siris's talent for awakening was seven years old, which is quite rare. But precisely because she was only seven years old when she awakened, she was able to achieve the following results."

Shad nodded. Miss Lassus' awakening of talent at the age of seven is as rare as Priest August's awakening of talent when he is old. The former is even rarer.

"This is one reason, but what about the other one?"

Xia De asked again, taking the teacup handed by the sorceress on the side and thanking him quietly. The latter looked curiously at the unicorn lying next to Shade, but did not have the courage to touch it for the time being.

"On the other hand, what you said is that the previous generation leader of the sect, Siris's father, Mr. Willon Lassus of the Sixth Ring, disappeared inexplicably. Siris's father is said to be very strong. , her ability to recover quickly from her injuries while standing on the ground was taught by Mr. Lassers."

The witch shook her head slightly:

"There are many possibilities for the inexplicable disappearance of the Ring Warlock, but for Siris at that time, it meant a change in the trajectory of his life. I had just taken over the position of teacher at that time and was traveling in the Old Continent, thinking about my future. Road. When I came to the local area, I happened to meet Siris who was entangled with a troublesome relic. At that time, she was not only the leader of the cult, but also the sole legal successor of the Golden Dawn Opera Company that was about to go bankrupt. After many, many stories. With the present Golden Dawn ”

That's a pretty interesting story, and quite a long one. It started before dinner and didn't come to an end until around ten o'clock in the evening. The relic that Miss Lassus encountered back then was a Keeper-level relic [The Curse of the Black Gate]. The only characteristic of this relic is that every door opened by the cursed person is a "cursed black door" leading to an unknown subspace.

Theoretically, as long as you don't open the door yourself and let others open the door, the curse will not affect the cursed person, so the rating is only "Secret Keeper Level". But the problem is that the [Black Door Curse] at that time was on the verge of getting out of control for some reasons, making every door that Miss Lacers passed through potentially turned into a "Black Door."

It took Miss Benanis half a month to determine the source of the [Black Gate Curse], which is the location of the real Black Gate. In the end, he managed to introduce the "Black Gate" into the Parliament, and used the power of the Parliament to completely suppress it and contain it - this is one of the basic functions of the Parliament. After the incident was resolved, she was invited by Miss Lassers to stay, and eventually formed a new Golden Dawn together.

This story is quite interesting to Shade, only slightly worse than Dorothy and Lesia's diary. He carefully avoided those private details and asked more about the "cursed" relics, and Miss Benanis was happy to answer Shade's questions.

The night is getting darker, but the ladies around them have no intention of taking a rest. The campfire crackled, surrounded by whispers and murmurs.

While chatting with the witch, Shade accidentally raised his head to look at the night sky over the sparse forest tops. He saw the sea of ​​stars hanging upside down above his head, and saw the three-wheeled moon hanging above the vast sea of ​​stars. Although air pollution is very serious in this era, the wilderness far away from the city is different after all.

In a daze, I thought of how many times I had sat by the campfire with different girls in the dark, whispering. However, except for Iluna, those girls, those memories, and the past are all from the last era after all.

"Why did you show this expression while talking? If Carina knew about it, she would think I was bullying you."

The blond witch smiled and joked. Shade shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the cry of the little beast next to him:

"Ang~"

It immediately stood up and raised its head alertly to look deep into the forest to the southwest. At the same time, the sound of a strong wind blowing through the forest also sounded in its ears. This was the outermost alert being triggered:

"Miss, someone is here. A living person."

Everyone stood up in the camp, the thaumaturgic light that disguised their appearance and voice lit up, and the ladies responsible for the outside lookout also appeared in the trees.
