The Whispering Verses Chapter 976: Collection of Dice Stories
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
On the bright and warm second floor of the Prophet's Association, Princess Margaret asked Shade curiously.
She was sitting with Shade, Lesia, Princess Agelina, Sir Prisha, and Miss Eva Swift, a local poet from Carsonlik, listening to Shade talk about his detective. story.
At this time, the salon is entering into a lively moment. People gather with familiar guests to discuss topics of interest, and from time to time there are compliments and applause.
Shad was just telling the story of how he helped Mr. Hank solve the "haunted night" story, when he suddenly started and turned to look out the window.
Lecia picked up the tea cup and hid her worried expression. Others didn't know what happened to Shade. The night outside the window is still calm. The Prophet Association knows what may happen outside tonight, and of course it will not let these distinguished guests notice anything strange outside.
But Shade was different. He was quite familiar with Yin Luna's "Sunshine Gun", so he immediately knew through "her" that Yin Luna seemed to be fighting with others outside.
"Nothing. I just mentioned that I was going to investigate Mr. Hank's friends, so I suddenly remembered that I didn't turn off the gas light when I went out."
Xia De said embarrassedly:
"But it doesn't matter, let's continue telling the story. This story will probably be published by Miss Louisa in the newspaper in the middle of next month. This is definitely not the weirdest case in my detective career, but it is Quite interesting. Mr. Hank's friends are spread across"
He was telling his story, but he felt quite uneasy in his heart. Because they were far apart, he could only rely on his familiarity with Yin Luna to know that she was fighting with others, but Xia De really couldn't guess what was going on outside.
"It shouldn't be that [Jack Thief] appears. Yin Luna will not directly use [Sunshine Gun] to deal with that thief who becomes stronger when faced with a strong threat."
He felt uneasy, so after finishing the story, he once again excused himself to go to the bathroom:
"I guess I shouldn't drink so much black tea this afternoon."
Xia De said very apologetically, stood up and walked towards the door.
Although Shade was not here, people were still happy to continue the discussion. Princess Lesia held the "Hamilton Detective Stories" and said with some regret:
"I did invite Miss Louisa, but it's a pity that the lady has something to do and can't come."
"Your Highness, I heard that Miss Louisa and Mr. Hamilton are very good friends. I wonder if this is true?"
The female writer Carsonrick, who had met Shade and Dorothy at different banquets several times, asked with a smile. Lecia shook her head slightly:
"I am not particularly familiar with Mr. Hamilton."
When she said this, her eyes wandered for a moment, and the little princess beside her tried not to make a strange expression.
"But it is said that he has a wide range of friends, whether they are aristocratic businessmen, professors, shopkeepers, or poor people in the downtown area, they are all his friends. I think because of the relationship between the material, Miss Louisa and Detective Hamilton The relationship is very good."
"I heard of Mr. Hamilton's reputation when I was at Carson Creek."
Sir Prisha said, pretending to glance at the door:
"I'm not speaking ill of others behind their backs. This should be regarded as a compliment. It is said that the Hamilton Knight is very popular with girls. I chatted with this young gentleman before the salon started, and he was indeed as rumored as He is equally knowledgeable and can even be called a wise man. If Miss Louisa becomes attached to the knight for this reason during the process of collecting materials, we will not be surprised. This is normal. "
"Yes, Mr. Hamilton's appearance is very popular with girls."
The little princess said, Sir Prisha nodded in agreement with this view, Lesia wanted to laugh but couldn't. Only Princess Margaret held the wine glass with a thoughtful expression.
Now that we know that Shade is a correspondence magician from St. Byrons, there is reason to suspect that everyone around him may be correspondence students in the same group. Margaret Anjou did not covet Chard's secrets, she was just curious about Chard's life.
Everyone in the salon is enjoying tonight's time. The literary salon attended by young ladies and gentlemen of the upper class can make everyone feel comfortable even if it is just to kill time, because it is a symbol of status.
At the next second that no one expected, the sound of breaking glass suddenly broke the atmosphere of the literary salon. When the cold wind outside blew into the room from the completely broken windows, everyone who was talking and laughing all shut their mouths.
A middle-aged gentleman wearing a black formal suit and holding a civilized stick jumped down from the window sill with his leather boots. Behind him, a young man wearing a short shirt, covering his left arm, also climbed into the room tremblingly:
"Professor Angce, maybe you can fly slower next time."
"This is it."
Professor Angce seemed to have anticipated the situation in the room, and smiled and said to the people who looked at him:
"Except for Margaret Anjou, Agelina Cavendish, Nasser Cavendish and Lesia Cavendish, everyone else, please sleep!"
The power of the spell was transmitted to the room with the sound, and ordinary people who were unprepared fell down on the carpet or sofa in an instant. Fortunately, the carpet and sofa were soft enough so no one was injured.
The three princesses immediately stood up, and Lecia protected Agelina behind her. As for Prince Nasser, he just went out to the bathroom and has not returned yet.
Lecia and Princess Margaret frowned and hesitated whether to take action, but at this moment the door was knocked open, and all eight members of the Circle Warlock team from the Creation Church who had been ambushing next door broke in.
At the same time, Yin Luna quickly rushed into the room from the window. Behind him, Miss Green, the ten-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, the eleven-ring warlock of the Peace Church, and Old Modelo wearing a white clergy robe. Sir, he also "walked" in through the window.
The eight people at the window and the three at the door surrounded Professor Anse and the cultists. The former raised his eyebrows, took off his white gloves and said with a smile:
"It seems to be exactly the same as Miss Pavo's plan."
He looked around at everyone present and snapped his fingers gracefully. Before the church's ring magicians took action, the cultists who followed [Mr. Doom] had already thrown the dice in their hands.
"Stop him!"
But it was too late. The whispering elements of the angelic relics spread all around, and an invisible barrier completely isolated this room from the normal world. All the lights in the room were extinguished at this moment, but the next second, a beam of white skylight shone on the side of the cultist who rolled the dice.
A stable beam of light illuminates the square stone table. There is a chair in each of the three directions of the stone table, the southeast, north and south.
Everyone stood in the darkness. The silent silence was not because they didn't mean to speak, but because they temporarily lost the ability to make a sound.
Professor Anse of the Truth Society walked out of the darkness, came to the white skylight, and sat on the east side of the table. Cultist of "Mr. Fortune". Then he covered his arms and sat on the north side.
People were moving in the darkness. Miss Green stood in front of the three princesses and used magic to protect them. Mr. Modelo used gestures to remind people not to stay away from that beam of light, but in fact no one would do so. There seemed to be a terrifying giant beast peeping at them in the terrifying depths of darkness, and they could only stay around that beam of light. Peace of mind.
The whispering elements are mainly concentrated in the light and the darkness further away, otherwise Princess Margaret and Lesia would have to consider whether to faint in time now.
The "Professor" who was already seated knocked on the table and said to the church's ring magicians:
"Angel-level relics, [Collection of Dice Stories]. Based on the current scene, the most realistic game is generated to tell a magical adventure story. Three players can participate in this story and each choose their own protagonist. 'Go on an adventure in reality. By the way, after all the players sit down, the storyteller will appear, who calls himself the 'Secret Keeper'. Yes, gentlemen and ladies, according to our investigation, this relic is related to that. He is related to an ancient **** of wisdom and knowledge. Winning this game can be regarded as completing a secret keeper's trial."
"Are you crazy? Taking the initiative to involve the fate of the chosen ones?"
Even though she knew how crazy the [Truth Society] was, Miss Green still scolded them in a low voice.
The secret keeper's requirement is "power related to the ancient **** [Secret Keeper Mentor]", so in addition to the relics that appear naturally, reusing the relics that have been contained can also be regarded as meeting the requirements of the poem. But the church did not do this. On the one hand, it was because it was not sure whether there were undiscovered psalm fragments that prohibited this. On the other hand, it was because the fate of the chosen ones could not be easily touched. If the secret was actively opened in a deliberate way, If people try it, big problems will definitely occur.
"Crazy?"
Professor Angce smiled and shook his head:
"It is indeed crazy, but Miss Pavo believes that no matter what the result is, it is a quite successful experiment. Although this gentleman and I took a great risk, such an experiment will definitely have results, no Is this a valuable attempt? We never do anything meaningless. And if you are really lucky, you can get two pieces of wise man's pyroxene at once."
The cultist sitting next to him muttered "madman" in a low voice, but no one paid him any attention.
"By the way, if it weren't for the fact that opening this relic requires the existence of mutually hostile game players, I wouldn't be here. There is still another position, who wants to participate?"
He looked at everyone present:
"Also, there is no need to worry about anyone disturbing us. While this relic is open, no one will notice what is happening here, and everyone will temporarily ignore us. This space is completely isolated from the outside world, and the game will not end. No method can harm those of us who are seated in the game. You see, I also invited three princesses and a prince."
"Professor" glanced at everyone present and raised his eyebrows:
"It's a pity that His Royal Highness the young prince is not here, but the princesses are very lucky to watch the most real story that we participate in and influence next. The royal family members are aware of the existence of the Ring Warlock, so this does not violate the "Official Confidentiality" "Law"
"Oh, you just wanted to take hostages."
Yin Luna's voice interrupted his words. As she walked towards the square table under the beam of light, the team of the Creation Church, led by the bearded man, also came closer, while the high-level warlocks were testing the space. border, and then found it impossible to leave. The walls and windows still exist, but there is no connection to the outside world.
"Want to join this **** game?"
Yin Luna asked Miss Xiang Green that they both belonged to the Church of the Sun, and Yin Luna was also used to following the arrangements of high-level warlocks.
"I want to protect the three princesses, and I will not participate. And you have higher rights to move freely outside, so you decide."
Miss Green said that among the three princesses protected by the holy emblem behind her, the elder two had their own thoughts.
Yin Luna looked at Mr. Modelo again, who also said:
"You decide. The [Dark Realm] some time ago also had the power to make people ignore a certain space, but wasn't it also noticed that something was wrong afterwards?"
Professor Angce did not comment on this.
Yin Luna looked at the team that created the church. The bearded captain shook his head slightly:
"My command authority is the lowest among us, you decide."
Yin Luna finally looked at the three princesses. The princesses stood together and looked at the scene in front of them in "panic". There were sleeping people around them.
"Your Highnesses, please come closer. According to the Official Secrets Act, the church will protect the safety of the royal family. You may need to drink some holy water."
After speaking, Yin Luna nodded to Miss Green and Mr. Modelo. He walked around to the south side of the square table under the beam of light, and then sat on the stool.
