The Whispering Verses Chapter 689: The twins will meet again
Chapter 689 The Gemini are about to meet again
"Priest, when does the church plan to start that ceremony?"
"Next week or the week after that, it will be within the Moon of Dead Leaves. After all, Hazama will soon be unable to hold on."
The last earthquake weakened Shade's "Tree Kiss" mystery chain a lot, and the death outbreak was indeed not far away.
"In addition, I heard uncertain news. The Natural Church invited a 'Sister of Thorns' from the Holy See."
The priest lowered his voice
"Sister of Thorns?"
This is the most surprising news tonight, because the "Sister of Thorns" represents the divine dependence cultivated by the natural church. She was the purest girl who had been trained by the Church of Nature since she was a child. They know their responsibilities and regard this responsibility as an honor.
In other words, these are fanatical believers who are qualified to descend from gods. It is a very obvious sign that the church mobilizes them.
"Nature teaches thinking"
Xia De pointed to the sky.
"I don't know anything, probably just to prepare for the worst."
Priest August shook his head cautiously, and looked at the fire in front of him with Shade:
"But detective, everyone is very cautious about this matter, yes, very cautious. I have seen it, I have seen what will happen once death breaks out and the day of death comes."
The campfire crackled and Shade narrowed his eyes:
"What will happen?"
"It was terrible. When the black sun fell, the white mist in the narrow space turned into black mist and enveloped the area. The world of the living and the world of the dead were completely mixed together, and even time and space were confused. Everything Falling into an eternal cycle of death, the map of the Old Continent may be missing a piece from now on."
Priest August also had his own affairs at this charity banquet, so he left without chatting with Shade for long.
After he and Shade said goodbye temporarily, the time was almost half past eight. Clusters of bonfires were dancing in the courtyard of the college, and people were gathering in the distance. It seemed that this grand autumn night banquet had officially begun. Representatives of the chamber of commerce and local city hall officials who sponsored the Fire Worship Festival banquet were speaking.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very good, but Shade did not join in the fun and listen to others talking. He estimated that the witches were about to arrive, so he gave up his plan to play Rhodes for the time being. Instead, he straightened his clothes, then slowly walked to the entrance of the courtyard opposite the castle of Miburg Mechanical College, and went to talk to him first. Mother-in-law Cassandra and Miss Aurora meet up.
Because of their dislike of men, the two witches will not take the initiative to participate in the banquet. Instead, they plan to take the opportunity of this banquet to finalize some cooperation agreements with their business partners.
The three met in a separate lounge next to the auditorium on the first floor on the east side of the castle. Miss Aurora, who had not seen each other for more than a month, was still so elegant and beautiful. The witch with long curly brown hair was also very happy to see Shade. After letting him sit down on the sofa, she ordered her maid to pour tea and go to the kitchen to bring some snacks.
“I haven’t been to Fort Midhill for several years. The autumn here is very good, especially the season of falling leaves. I still remember the last time I went hunting in the mountains here and saw the dead leaves and leaves covering the ground. The swirling yellow leaves are very artistic. ”
The gas lamp was very bright in the room, and the servants of Miss Aurora and Granny Cassandra stood behind the two witches. Outside the window, there is a courtyard with clusters of bonfires burning. Although the room is a little quiet, you can still feel the atmosphere of the Fire Festival banquet.
Shad suddenly thought of the fire-wielding nun, and was curious whether the Fire Worship Festival had special meaning to her.
"Miss Aurora, do you already know about the passage on the mountainside?"
"I know, you did a great job."
She also guessed that Shade provided information to Miss Carina:
"Grandma Cassandra and I will go check it out tomorrow. You don't have to go with us, but if you want to know the progress of the matter, you can come to us the day after tomorrow."
"No problem."
Xia De nodded:
"There is no need for me to go with you for such a dangerous matter. But since the passage is in a narrow room, after you go to the real mountainside cave to check, how do you plan to enter the narrow room? You are also looking for the entrance that appears by chance, and then use the help of Is the entrance fixed for the ceremony? ”
"That's what the ring wizards do."
Grandma Cassandra shook her head:
"Witches have their own ways. We will first enter the dreamland, and then directly enter the narrow room from the dreamland."
"Dreamland" refers to a strange world where specious dreams and phantoms intersect, but similar to Hazama, it is not a real world. At the end of the summer night banquet at Lake View Manor, Luvia went to the Dreamland, observed the manor from the perspective of the Dreamland, and eliminated the most critical node of the god-summoning ritual.
"If possible, I hope you can take me with you when you enter the dreamland. I have experience there in the past and can help. Moreover, I also want to go to the narrow room again. Someone commissioned me to collect some information. Some plants."
This is "big business" for Mr. Copus of Tobesk.
"No problem, Carina praised you, and the last time you entered the narrow room, it will indeed be helpful to us."
Grandma Cassandra nodded, while Miss Aurora raised her eyebrows. She had no idea what Shade had done in this city.
"In addition, the scabbard is here. When the banquet is about to end, you can take it from me, as well as the information about [Sin Mansion]."
The old witch asked the maid behind her to hand Shade a few pages of paper:
"Location-type relics are generally sage-level (level 2) or above, but [Sin Mansion] is a rare keeper-level (level 3) relic. It is more like a trading place. You will know it after reading the information. Understood. [Sin Mansion] appears randomly in the material world every 66 years, attracting sinners, so in theory, any intelligent creature is its target.
Xia De lowered his head and looked at the papers:
"Sin Mansion, is it a place to pay for one's own sins? The depth of the sin will determine what happens inside the relic. The more sin you bear, the easier it is to die inside, but the more you bear the sin, the more you can peel it off with yourself. of sins in exchange for the power of the Sin Mansion."
"As long as you haven't done too many wrong things, [Sin Mansion] is not dangerous to you. Moreover, it is safer to enter alone than to enter with multiple people, because you cannot accurately know what your companions have been. What have you done?"
Grandma Cassandra explained.
"Is this a relic that appeared in the Sikar Mountains?"
Miss Aurora was very curious, picking the curly hair beside her ear with her right index finger.
"Yes, because the restlessness in the narrow space caused element chaos in nearby areas, the number of relics in the Sikar Mountain area and this city will increase greatly in the recent period."
The old witch nodded.
"I will go in alone tomorrow and take a look. If it is only the secret keeper level, I think I can handle it."
Shad put the information away, and Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora did not stop him.
Xia De thought for a while and asked again:
"Speaking of which, mother-in-law, you said some time ago that you would invite me to attend your teacher's ceremony, which is a ceremony that happens every twenty-two years. I don't know the name of your teacher yet."
He deliberately asked in front of Miss Aurora. The witches should all know this information.
"The teacher's name, she has two commonly used names."
Grandma Cassandra didn’t seem surprised by Shad’s question:
"Helen Black, and Grace White."
"It's really them"
The corners of Shade's mouth trembled, and the images of the twin girls appeared in front of him almost immediately.
"Also, I asked you to come to this castle to find the lost bronze jar some time ago. In fact, it was the teacher who arranged for you to do it."
Grandma Cassandra said again:
"The teacher is a lecturer in the history department at this college. She wants to meet you secretly, so she asked me to arrange for you to come to the college."
The missions of witches always have a different purpose. Miss Aurora frowned slightly. She didn't know the story between Shade and Gemini. She only knew that Shade was related to a beautiful "young" girl again.
"So, would it be an honor for me to meet Miss Black now?"
Xia De asked, the old witch smiled and shook her head:
"The teacher is busy with that key ceremony, and there can't be any mistakes. However, if you want to see her, follow me up the mountain next Monday, and the ceremony will take place."
Xia De didn't say anything else, he just sighed that after a long time, he finally got to see them again.
[Back then, they were only 14 years old. 】
"She" reminded softly.
"I know, well, who do you think I am?"
Xia De immediately retorted in his heart:
"I was just thinking, no matter whether it was Helen or Grace who commissioned Detective Sparrow in the first place, since she chose Hamilton Detective Agency by such a coincidence, I don't believe her or she has never seen 'Awakening' Me before."
[So, you want]
"I want to know, in the eyes of Gemini, what kind of person Shade was with his abnormal brain in the past. Although St. Byrons said that there was nothing wrong with the past of the original owner of this body, I always feel that the past is unclear. It'll be that simple."
【Really? 】
She was smiling softly, as if a breeze was blowing by her ears. Somehow, Shade remembered the huge moon disk above the endless wilderness in his dream.
Sacred and beautiful, it contains secrets and is so fascinating.
【Are you talking about the moon, or me? 】
Shad didn't answer, but they all knew the answer.
