The Whispering Verses Chapter 717: Three candidates
Chapter 717 Three Candidates
After leaving the Crow Club, Shade sent Iluna back to the local Sun Church, and then the melancholy? A stranger returned to Tobesk.
First, I went to Old John to customize alchemical items for the sealing ceremony, and chatted with Father John about the recent news. Things have been calm in Tobesk recently. It wasn't until it got dark outside that Shade said goodbye to Father John, took Mia the cat to have dinner, and then waited for Luvia at seven o'clock in the evening.
After informing the purple-eyed girl about Joey Barton, the Society of Truth, [Origin and Death], etc., the latter was almost certain that Iluna’s view was completely correct, and Joey Barton was the Chosen One of Death. first candidate.
"Why are you so sure?"
Shad was very interested in this.
"Shad, haven't you discovered it yet? Every time the [Impermanent Card] appears, it means that the chosen one appears. You got the [Origin and Balance] from the tree in the underground ruins of Tobesk. Luna just held a ceremony; you got [Origin Darkness] from Queen Diana in Yodel Palace, and Darkness immediately went there to steal the hilt of the Dark Sword."
Luvia concluded. Shade hesitated and pointed to the bedroom that originally belonged to Detective Sparrow. He has not used that room yet:
"But when I got the [Original Silver Moon] in the master bedroom over there, the Chosen One didn't show up. There were two people present at the time. Detective Sparrow died, and I was the only one left. Could it be that I The chosen one of the moon?"
"Of course it's impossible!"
Luvia immediately shook her head:
"Anyone may be the chosen one, but you are the only one who cannot. Therefore, calculating the chosen one based on the appearance of the Impermanence Card can only be regarded as a rough calculation method. In the end, I still have to divination to determine the answer."
As she spoke, she picked up the six coins, thought about it, picked out one blood money and handed it to Sha De:
"You take this, and you are still waiting to find other coins."
So she still had five coins in her hand, but after thinking about it, she picked out the [Soothsayer's Silver Coin]. This silver coin was not only given to Iluna by the church, but it was also very useful to diviners and could be saved.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, two blood coins, a [Dragon Blood Treasure Money] and an [Upright Coin] were thrown into the air. As the coins reached their peak, large rust spots finally appeared on their surfaces.
As it fell, the rust marks on the surface of the coin became more serious. Before finally falling, it turned into dust and disappeared.
"Meow~"
The cat with its head raised is very interested in this.
"No problem this time."
Luvia opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and a purple light flashed in her eyes:
"The chosen one is Joey Barton."
Xia De let out a long breath:
"Very good, very busy. After half a busy autumn, this matter is finally coming to an end."
As he spoke, he pulled the cat squatting beside him into his arms with a smile on his face, hugged it with his left hand, and quickly stroked its little head with his right hand. The orange and white cat narrowed its eyes and purred in its throat, but it didn't look unhappy.
Luvia was also in a good mood and was amused by this scene:
"Xia De, don't worry, because we got a lot of information besides divination, so we got more information in this divination. The three candidates you provided are all candidates for the chosen one, yes all of them Yes."
"Both of them? What about the order?"
This is the key.
Luvia paused to organize her words:
"Joy Barton, the suspected "Reverse Reborn" of the Truth Society, is the first pick, and Sister Devlin, the "Fire Bearer Sister" of the Spiritual Order, is the second pick. Our friends look ordinary. Priest Latte August of Wuqi Dawn Church is the third candidate. According to my divination, you also met a candidate who was ranked lower today, but I don’t know who it is.”
"Is it so complicated this time?"
Xia De nodded suspiciously, then shook his head:
"The people at the back will not be considered. The further back the pick is, the weaker the talent of the selected person. And unless the above three are dead, the people behind will have no chance. I really didn't expect that the three of them actually All."
The current situation is more complicated than when Ivan Darkness appeared. For Darkness, Shade only needs to consider how to get rid of him. But for Joey Barton, Shade still couldn't make up his mind how to treat him.
According to the information collected by Sister Devlin, Joey Barton is a very good person. This is not a pretense, it is indeed the case. As for the other party, there is a high probability that he is a member of the [Truth Society], or someone funded by the [Truth Society].
Luvia also thought about this problem, but she looked at it very broadly:
"Shad, you try to contact Joey Barton next week and test him. If you are sure that the other party has no possibility of cooperating with us, give up the chosen one and let Iluna tell the church directly ."
"Are you sure you want this?"
"Yes."
The purple-eyed girl nodded with a serious expression:
"I just want to witness the thirteen chosen ones finally opening the door. But I will not murder innocent people because of this, just like you will not murder to get the [Creation·Death] He is the same. Of course I really hope that our friend Priest August will get this status, but if we don’t talk about Joy Barton, Shade, will you murder the second-ranked Sister Devlin?”
Xia De immediately shook his head,
This is not only a moral issue, but also because the nun is a genuine eleventh ring, and she has more than one angel-level relic on her body. Shade even thinks that even the twelveth ring may not be able to beat her.
"So, let's meet Joey Barton again next week. He is a good guy. We will find ways to cooperate with him, but it is only limited cooperation. After all, the other party is not resident in Tobesk. If he is a bad guy, go report him. He. Shade, your mission at Fort Midhill is about to be completed."
Luvia leaned back on the sofa quite relaxedly:
"Leave the matter to the church, and we don't need to divine the Chosen One ceremony, chase someone, or look for someone. The next step is to wait quietly for the Chosen One ceremony to be completed."
"Is this the end?"
Xia De hesitated.
"What else did you expect?"
The female fortune teller asked, thought for a while and then said:
"Yes, the Hazama problem has not been resolved. But Shade, that is not your responsibility."
Of course the outsider does not think that it is his responsibility to solve the gap between life and death. He just thinks that this matter will never end so easily.
"However, I can definitely use a break."
He said, mentally planning to rest until Monday. On Monday, he had made an appointment with his mother-in-law Cassandra to witness the "teacher" ceremony.
"Speaking of which, the detective agency has been out of business for half a month. Moreover, I plan to deal with the problem on the third floor soon. I have to go to Coldwater Port to buy the materials, and the customized precious metal ring from Papa John's has to wait. It will take a few days to get it. Things are coming to an end in Middleburg, but there are still many things at home in Tobesk."
He pointed upstairs.
"The autumn astrology activities of the Astronomy College are also coming to an end. Star Sea Whales will appear in ten to fifteen days. The Astronomy College regards the appearance of those creatures that can penetrate the space wall as the end of the autumn astrology activities."
Luvia said, looking at the cat being held by Shade, and inexplicably remembered that Shade mentioned just now that Joey Barton was temporarily blinded for a moment after looking at the cat.
"But this cat is normal."
The gas lamp on the wall illuminates the foreigner’s home in this world. The purple-eyed girl who has a relationship with the owner of the house is squinting while holding a tea cup, thinking about the past and the future. The cat raised by the owner is lying on the lap, feeling sleepy because of the comfortable life. Even under the light of night, the orange hair has a sun-like luster.
As for Shade, he sat in the middle of the couch, tilting his head and looking at the reflection in the room on the window, thinking about the upcoming end of Fort Midhill. In a daze, he actually saw a red butterfly flying past the window, but when he blinked again, he couldn't see anything.
[1853 of the Fifth Era, the Moon of Dead Leaves, late autumn. The never-ending time has brought you to this moment, but the riddles have not yet been solved. The vampire race, the twin red butterflies, the fire-wielding nuns, and the dead person chosen by fate. Foreigners, the story of Fort Midhill is coming to an end. Having spent most of the autumn here, have you seen through the ending that will eventually come? Death is shaking, and ancient and primal forces are about to break free. Behind the curtain, all the actors were already in place. When the curtain of the mountain city opens, are you watching this scene off the stage, do you want to change the outcome of this disaster? 】
The whispering sound in his ears almost made Shade feel that "she" was behind him.
Xia De smiled and looked at himself reflected in the window:
"Change? You mean, I want to use divine power to stop all of this?"
My fingers gently plucked Mia's little ears, and Mia, who rested her head on her two furry front paws, let out a soft cry.
[Outlander, we will witness the next story together. The primitive end may swallow up the mountain city, but the courage and wisdom of mortals may also be able to save it all. Sitting under the elusive stage of destiny, are you going to pursue the departing red butterfly, or follow the guidance of the original flame? All mortals are mortal, and everything is destined to perish. Perhaps the answer waiting for you is a tragedy that spans years and time. 】
"She" was chuckling. Shade leaned on the back of the sofa, raised his left hand, and touched the corner of his mouth with his thumb:
"Are you trying to say that the ending for Middleburg won't be too good? No, no, it's not time to draw a conclusion yet, but I think it won't be far away."
My fingers unconsciously tapped the sofa cushions, and the clicking sound of the clock in the corner was particularly clear at this moment. Time is moving forward, and all Shade can do is wait.
"Oh, there's also the matter of the Cadiz Library."
Thinking of Miss Olanode, he seemed to see the yellow moon again. Under the gaze of Luvia and Mia, he slightly raised his right hand. In the palm of his hand, the shadow of a small yellow moon was floating in it.
This is not thaumaturgy or incantation, just a small application of moonlight:
"May the moon protect me."
PS: Remember, in addition to Joey Barton, Sister, and Priest August, Middlesbrough has at least one candidate whose name was mentioned, and it is regarded as the fourth pick by default. This is important.
