The Whispering Verses Chapter 2027: Fishing and the Tombstones of the World
Shad's luck was pretty good when he was in Coldwater Port. Among the antiques taken out by Mr. Edmond, the keeper of the old lighthouse, he finally found items that met the requirements.
It was a black, shriveled apple core. If it were thrown on the roadside, even the children picking up garbage would probably not take a look at it. But it is indeed an antique handed down from the Fifth Age, related to the love story "Green Apple Love". It is said that this apple core is the final appearance of the full fruit that symbolizes the love of the protagonists in the story after their love failed.
“Another story with a tragic ending, I don’t like this one.”
While speaking, Shade was fishing with Mr. Edmond under the sea cliff. Of course he doesn't know how to fish, but it's easy to learn how to hook up a bait and swing the rod.
"But tragedy also has the charm of tragedy. Blindly pursuing comedy is actually not a good thing."
The old folklorist said, sitting on the small bench with Shade, looking at the vast sea in the distance. In late spring and early summer when the weather is fine, the sea view of Coldwater Harbor is particularly charming. Listening to the sound of the waves and sitting for a while in this basically deserted place is also a good choice to relax.
"Do you know about the Battle of Green Lake?"
Xia De asked. The old man who had guessed that Shade was related to the "God Caller" from the Coldwater Harbor incident nodded slowly:
"I know, Natalie has already passed the news to the Priory. What we care more about is not who is the chosen one in the space. What we care about is what Natalie saw, the Godcaller. The terrible mystery lock that I almost used."
He held the fishing rod and looked at the float:
"It is now generally accepted that the Godcaller's strongest powers are the moon and fairy tale locks. I won't mention his use of moonlight. People have always suspected that he is a priest of an ancient moon god. His use of The use of Mysuo can be regarded as one of the strongest people in our time, but he only showed half of it. It seems that he cannot control it, and it has nothing to do with fairy tales. ”
"Yes, it is related to the end of the world. The ring warlocks who were on the island at that time, as long as they were exposed to the yellow sand in the sky and saw the city submerged by the yellow sand, they should all be able to understand the power that represents the end."
Even Xia De himself is still a little scared when he thinks about it now. The mysterious lock formed automatically. If he didn't have the strong perseverance to "hold it back", I'm afraid he wouldn't have time to fish leisurely here now.
The cat was huddled on Shade's lap with peace of mind. Shade was looking forward to how it would react if he really caught a fish.
"Although we have been preparing for the end of the world, when it comes to this moment, we will still be confused and anxious."
The old man stared at the water:
"The appearance of the mythical chain of the Godcaller represents him or her, who obviously knows the coming of the end better than anyone else. He may have seen the future, or may have predicted what will happen in other ways. But since The end can already be glimpsed by people in the material world, which means that it is really not far away. ”
The float shook, and the old man immediately lifted the fishing rod. Shade let the cat lie on the stool, picked up the net bag, and helped him transfer the fish to the bucket:
"What does the Prophets Association say? Prophets will not know anything about this."
"They have been preparing for this for a long time, but no one knows what they have prepared. Don't think about the prophets. Maybe at the most dangerous moment in the future, they will suddenly come up with powerful means. , and then tell everyone: Look, we have been preparing for it for a long time."
Xia De laughed:
"This is in line with my understanding of the diviners. What about the Church? There were so many people on the island at that time, so they should also understand the meaning of the Godcaller's Mystery Lock, right?"
"Yes, the end is approaching, and the Five Gods Church is under the greatest pressure. They dominate the balance between the mortal and the extraordinary in the material world, and they must bear responsibilities when they enjoy power. It is said that those clergy have begun to I prayed to the gods for guidance, but I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until the oracle comes down to tell us exactly what to do.”
After all, this is a world where real gods exist. When encountering such troubles, it is natural to seek help from gods. But since it has been determined that the world's demise is not man-made, but only because there is a beginning and an end, then the righteous gods probably can't do anything.
Xia De nodded and looked at his motionless float:
"What will the Priory of the Light Guide do?"
"As before, continue to collect civilization artifacts, knowledge books and other things that represent our civilization. Prepare shelters, raise food, fuel and a large number of daily necessities, and prepare to survive in the most difficult environment. We plan to When you put these in Tobesk, you should have seen where that city was that was almost in ruins."
"Yes, Tobesk."
The old man nodded, swung the fishing rod again, and watched with Shade as the fishing line was thrown far away and then returned to the same position. The ripples spread, but quickly disappear:
"In the worst case, even if everyone dies, it will end when it is over, and a new beginning begins. People or other weird things in the next world, if we are lucky, can also see us in the old world. The glory of civilization left behind. If everything in the world comes to an end, those things will still exist. If there is a beginning, there will be an end. "
"All mortals are mortal, and all things are destined to die. In the darkness after death, will new light be born?"
Shad asked the old man, Mr. Edmond smiled and said:
"That's probably true, but I haven't seen the end. Even if the new light appears again, what can we know who have left the old world with us? It's too far away, it's too far away It’s far away, we can only do things in our own time. Don’t expect that if we can really see a new light, it is meaningless.”
"But what the Guiding Light Monastery has done is truly remarkable, at least leaving a tombstone for this world."
"Someone should do something in this era. The information sent by Natalie included what the traitor from the Prophet Association did. Judging from the information exchanged between the Godcaller and the church, he was actually the same person. An amazing person. Now that the world is coming to an end, he is doing what he can to leave here before the end of the world, but his path has proven to be unworkable."
Xia De nodded and stroked the sleeping cat.
He believed that Mr. Edmund and Miss Daniste had roughly guessed that he was the Godcaller. Miss Daniste should be completely sure. After all, every time the Chosen One appeared in an area, before the incident broke out, Shade would come to Mr. Edmond to inquire about some folklore information.
Maybe he used to think that Shade was a student of the God Caller, but he should have rejected this idea in his own way.
But just like Miss Danister, Mr. Edmund did not ask Shade about his relationship with the "Godcaller". Miss Danister probably didn't want to destroy the simple teacher-student relationship between the two, because she was very concerned about this relationship because of her teacher's disappearance; Mr. Edmond probably thought that even if he knew that Shad was the Godcaller, It doesn't make much sense either.
The Guiding Light Priory and the Godcaller are not hostile, nor do they have much interest in each other. It is good to maintain the status quo.
Shad and Mr. Edmond chatted all afternoon and learned that the news of the doomsday is still brewing. Not everyone believes this, and of course this matter cannot be announced casually.
Fortunately, the various disasters in the world are just the beginning, and the order of civilization is still quite stable. They still have time, maybe not a lot, but they do still have time.
As for fishing, Shade didn't catch any fish until he was about to return to the old lighthouse on the cliff with a bucket.
He didn't care much at first, but the cat who woke up walked to the bucket and took a look, and then looked up at Shade.
At that moment, it was clear that little Mia didn't show any emotion, but the stranger felt that he was being ridiculed.
[Your illusion. 】
So, feeling that his self-esteem had been hit, Shade raised his hand and threw the thunder gun into the distant sea, and then successfully blew up several fish in the shallow water.
"Oh, you disturbed the fish like this, and it will be difficult for me to fish in the future! It is normal not to catch fish. Young people should not be so angry."
The old folklorist complained to Shade, and then he and Shade fished out the fish.
As for the Diamond of Hope, Shade also entrusted Mr. Edmond to help find it. But whether it can be found is another matter. So many prophets from the Prophet Association have received information, but so far they have not been able to find any further information about the [Destiny Base].
I received the "Shriveled Apple Core" from the love story "Green Apple Love" from Coldwater Port, the "King's Pawn" from the horror story "Hartlane's Revenge" from Huntington City, and the "King's Pawn" from the horror story "Hartlane's Revenge" from Huntington City. Riverdale got the white mask from the love story "The Masked Countess", and from Green Lake got the **** dagger from the fairy tale "The Clown and the Swan".
No antiques that meet the requirements have been found in the Tobesk area, but the search for Fort Midhill has been much smoother.
Because, on Friday, Granny Cassandra and her group had already returned there.
It wasn't that Shade took the initiative to ask Granny Cassandra for help, but early on Friday morning, Shade was awakened by the sound of the cat "meow~" while he was still sleeping.
Although he couldn't understand Xiao Mia's cat language, he could definitely hear the cat's emotions from its meows. When he opened his eyes, he saw little Mia squatting beside the pillow, looking up at the ceiling in the dark bedroom with an unhappy look on her face.
Xia De also looked upward, and then saw two flying red butterflies dancing incessantly.
