The Whispering Verses Chapter 89: Shadow and the Soothsayer
"You...want to save the world?"
The moonlight illuminated the city, and the carriage moved forward slowly in the dark night of Tobesk. Shade looked at the hand.
"No, I just want to make sure that the world will not be destroyed because of this. This sounds ridiculous, and it is not what a three-ring warlock like me should care about, but I have seen it, and I have seen that the survival of the world will be maintained in The chosen ones who finally stood in front of the door. All thirteen people, or some or even just one person, will lead to different results. Only I can know them when I see them. ”
Shad looked at the purple eyes for a moment, then reached out and held the woman's hand. A smile appeared on the corner of the latter's mouth, but when he wanted to withdraw his hand, he found that Shade would not let go. Of course, he didn't mean to take advantage. Shade's voice was very low:
“Even if I don’t want to participate in such a major event that affects the entire world, it will be affected sooner or later. I am willing to witness and find the thirteen chosen ones with you, and guide or help them. But as the basis for cooperation, I think we should build trust with each other first."
The path to the sublimation of the twelve divinities he wants to take requires the absorption of divinity, which requires dealing with evil gods or dangerous relics of old gods. Therefore, it is beneficial to take the initiative to contact the thirteen chosen ones who are destined to be troubled. Shade continues his search for divinity.
He held the fortune teller's soft hand tightly and looked into Miss Anat's purple eyes:
"I can understand the meaning of any text, any text. But I can read and understand, but I can't speak or write."
Miss Anat’s eyes flickered:
"I see. Then I, at a very serious cost, can make nearly error-free predictions. So far, I have only made a big mistake in one thing. I originally thought that our group would only have four people. Man, but you showed up. You only have one ring, but I still invite you. It is for this reason that you are the only person in this world who is definitely not the chosen one. I don’t have to worry about you knowing too much about being chosen from me. The author’s secrets, thus disrupting my observation of the future.”
Xia De nodded slightly, and then let go of the fortune teller's hand. The latter moved his wrist and joked:
"Is this how you always treat ladies?"
"Sorry, this is indeed a bit rude. But back to the topic of Miss Bayas, since we want to cooperate, you should tell me some information."
As Shade spoke, he did not explain the reason why he understood all languages, and Miss Anat did not mention the reason why she could make accurate predictions. This was considered a tacit understanding.
"Iluna Beas, the second-ring sorceress of the Church of the Sun. She is the first chosen one in the prophecy of "The Whispering Psalms" and represents the power of [balance]. Regarding her identity, for the time being, Only the Sun Church and you and I know. Of course, I know this secret because of my prophecy.”
"Balance?"
Shad was trying to figure out the meaning of this word, while Mia had fallen asleep lying down next to him.
Then he asked:
"So, how many people still know about the Whispering Psalm and the Chosen One?"
"The complete content of "The Whispering Cantos" is not in the hands of anyone. The Church of the Five Gods and the three thaumaturgy academies must know that some ancient organizations, such as the 'Blood Spirit School' and the 'Prophet Association' where I belong I definitely know.
The relics of the witch with poems written on them are controlled by different forces. The Church of the Sun knows the most about the first chosen one. What’s even more coincidental is that Bayas actually took the initiative to join the Sun before the church found her. The church's ring warlock squad. Maybe the sun **** is really protecting his followers. ”
Xia De nodded and let out a sigh of relief:
"So what is the plan now? You are going to contact the first selected person, Miss Bayas. What specific actions are you going to take? Do you need my help?"
Miss Anat smiled:
"Detective, I don't need your help for the time being. In fact, we have already been in contact. I created a chance encounter with Iluna Bayas. When she went to the market outside the city, I pretended to be an ordinary person and predicted I helped her solve some doubts. I think she will come to me again soon, and I will help her as a 'mysterious prophet'. I will not reveal my power until she confirms that I am a ring magician. identity to cooperate.”
"This is a good plan."
Shad praised, this not only established a connection between the two parties, but also made Miss Bayas feel in awe of Miss Anat.
"I will introduce you to you after I reveal my identity to her. Detective, you must not interfere in this matter. My plan is already very detailed. And you are too... not strong, Your main job now is to improve your own strength. Once you have the power to control yourself, I will probably need your help with many things."
This arrangement makes sense. Shade does not need to participate in Miss Anat's complete plan, and he still needs time to learn. Although the Lakeview Manor incident was theoretically solved by him, in fact it was just good luck that cannot be replicated. Miss Anat's plan will definitely involve a struggle between ring warlocks, and Shade is not suitable to join rashly now.
"What if the other party takes the initiative to contact me?"
Shade asked back. Miss Anat obviously didn’t believe such a thing existed, but she still replied:
"Then play your role as an ordinary detective. Before my plan is completed, don't let Miss Bayas know that you are a ring warlock. This will disrupt my ingenious plan and increase your danger. Also, speaking of which, can you still use the power of the thirteen-ring warlock? You don’t have to answer if it’s inconvenient.”
Xia De knew that the other party was not prying into his secrets, but wanted to know their trump cards.
He nodded:
"Yes, but the conditions are harsh and dangerous."
But it is also very powerful, even comparable to gods.
Miss Anat nodded slightly in understanding:
"That's good. In this way, at least the worst case scenario can be avoided. But don't worry, I am mainly responsible for contact with the first selected person. I am not an ordinary three-ring warlock. ”
"I hope so."
"One more thing. Sorry."
She looked at Shade.
"What?"
Xia De said in confusion.
"I took you to the third floor of the Lakeview Manor Mansion, and promised not to put you in danger, but in the end you were forced to face the evil god. Although this can be excused in a way that I didn't expect, but I won't do it. I'm sorry for putting you in danger. This is the biggest mistake I made at Lakeview Manor. I will find a chance to make it up to you."
"Don't worry about that, I went with you voluntarily. And if it wasn't like this, I...who could have predicted everything? Your prophecy needs to pay a price, no Maybe do divination for everything, especially if it involves God?"
Shad said, he listened to the voice of the female fortune teller with short brown hair, hugged the sleeping Mia, and looked out of the carriage window.
The misty city has entered a peaceful slumber. The three moons under the silent night sky have illuminated the earth unchanged for thousands of years, but they cannot illuminate every shadow.
The Chosen One, the great prophecy of the Witch Emperor, are the protagonists in the changing times. The outsider doesn't know what role he will play in the next story, nor what the future will hold.
But in short, he understood some things, understood some things, and had his own friends. Seeing this quiet night at this moment, I really felt that I was here.
"Say something."
He said in his heart.
[What do you want to hear? 】
"It doesn't matter, just say something."
He looked at the night view of this steam city and heard the woman’s chuckle amidst the sound of ?N?N?N~’s horse hooves:
[Sixth Epoch, Universal Calendar 1853, Summer. In the wind blowing through the city, you officially understand the world. After the blood feast that greets you is over, the first protagonist of the story is about to appear. When the golden scales, symbolizing balance, begin to tilt, someone is always responsible for adding weight. You foresaw the magnificent epic and the steam era of great changes. Forced to be involved in it, traveling through the long scroll of time in the rhythm of horse hooves, will you take action? 】
The stranger tilted his head and looked at the bright moon outside the window. Miss Anat's purple eyes looked at Shade. The orange cat, who squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep, looked at Miss Anat. The moonlight shone on the orange cat's face from the car window. body.
It was a quiet night.
