Whispering Verse

While Shad was in a coma, the priest took the key in his pocket, went to No. 6, Place Saint-Andrés, put the items that were inconvenient to bring into the church into his home, and brought back a change of clothes, and used them with Shad's smell. The one-sleeve coat that she was wearing attracted Miya, who had no one to feed her for the time being.

"When I opened the door on the second floor of your house this morning, your cat almost rushed up and scratched my face. The little guy probably thought I was a thief."

The priest said this, but he was not angry with the orange cat because he probably liked cats too:

"But it's really cute when it's by your side. If you don't have time in the future, you can foster it in the Church of Dawn. Not only does it catch mice, the young nuns here like cats very much."

Now that Xia De has woken up and confirmed that there are no sequelae caused by facing the evil god, the priest allows Xia De to go home. Of course, since it was already getting late, he invited Xia De to have dinner in the church, during which he also tried to ask whether Xia De was interested in learning about [Mr. Liming's] beliefs.

Xia De is actually very interested in the righteous gods of this world, and has a lot to say about religion, belief and culture. But I was not in the mood to talk about these things at the moment, so I said goodbye to the priest after dinner.

The two parted ways at the Liming Square where the Liming Church was located. The priest did not forget to tell Xia Deming to remember to get up early, and they would go to see the injured Dr. Schneider together.

I took Miya and left Dawn Square on foot in the dark, but instead of returning directly to No. 6, Saint Teresa Square, I paid for a carriage on Great Street to the east of the square, and went to Quill in the university area of ​​Tobesk. avenue.

As the capital of the Northern Kingdom, Tobeysk has many colleges and universities in the city area. Among them, there are both steam and machinery-related "De La Rion Royal Mechanical College", as well as comprehensive higher education institutions such as "Tobesk University". These schools are unified and concentrated in the eastern part of Tobeysk, thus forming the so-called "university district" in the urban area.

Miss Louisa rents an apartment in Building B, No. 211 Quill Pen Street, Tobesk University District. Although she is renting, the surrounding environment is no worse than that of Saint Teresa Square.

The crooked street is adjacent to the "United Theological Seminary of De La Rion". Most of the residents here are students or lecturers and professors of the school. That's why Shade thought that Miss Louisa had something to do when he saw her for the first time. May often live in school.

It was already late at night, and when I left the carriage with Mia in my arms, I was at the intersection of the broad Seminary Avenue and Quill Street. On one side of the boulevard is a lawn, and there are several young lovers walking under the gas lamp.

In the city of Tobesk, only near the Yodel Palace and here, the law and order can be so good that you can take a walk at night.

Take a few steps quickly, and look for the destination while identifying the house number. But soon, I found Miss Louisa's address in the middle of the street with apartment buildings standing on both sides.

But before he went to open the door, he saw the door of the apartment was opened. A female fortune teller with short brown hair opened the door and walked out. Miss Louisa, who seemed to have recovered, stood at the door and said goodbye to her. Miss Louisa was wearing a homey blue dress, with long golden hair hanging down her back. The fortune teller with short brown hair wore a very capable lady's tunic dress, which accentuated her figure very much.

Miss Louisa first saw the detective holding the cat in the night, and after Shade approached, Miss Annette found him belatedly.

The three of them greeted each other in the light of the foyer, and after a few pleasantries to make sure that each other was in good health, Xia De explained that he had something to talk to Miss Anat.

"oh?"

Miss Louisa looked at the two of them curiously, but didn't ask any extra questions, she just said that she would see Dr. Schneider tomorrow, and she seemed to have really recovered.

The fortune teller knew what Xia De wanted to ask, but after saying goodbye to Miss Louisa, the two did not chat on the street. Miss Anat's occupation is a fortuneteller affiliated with the Prophet Association. She was also going back to the city center, so she boarded the carriage back with Shad.

"You can talk."

After the sound of horseshoes trampling on the tree-lined avenue, the woman in the carriage said. She had just whispered a spell so that the coachman would not hear unnecessary words.

"Are you and Miss Louisa all right?"

In the narrow carriage, it was easy for Shade to smell the perfume on the purple-eyed girl. He hugged the cat and asked, and Mia showed her paws at Miss Anat. The timid cat is showing courage in this way, so that others will not hurt it.

"Although you have already asked the question just now, I am still very glad that the first sentence you asked was this. We are fine. The priest's potion helped a lot."

Miss Anat said that she did not sit up straight in the carriage like Shad, but leaned slightly against the side of the carriage in a relaxed manner:

"Even if you don't go to divination, I know what you want to ask, so just ask."

She's keeping her promise to explain it all if everyone survives.

The carriage turned in the middle of the boulevard, and Xia De in the carriage looked serious:

"What is "Whispering Poetry"? An unknowable relic?"

He came here so late because of this question.

"Do you still know the relics of the unknowable level? Professor Garcia of the School of History said?"

Miss Anat raised her eyebrows, but shook her head again:

""Whispering Verses" is not a [relic], but a great prophecy. Around the end of the fifth era, some relics of the last thirteen witch emperors were discovered. Not all of them are relics with whispering elements, most of them It is a relic of ordinary items. There are some strange sentences on those relics, which are pieced together in languages ​​​​of different eras. According to the diary left by the last witch emperor, those sentences can just form a complete set of poems, named "Whispering Canto."

"What about the content?"

Xia De asked, Miss Anat did not answer immediately, but tilted her head to look at the night scene outside the window, Xia De waited patiently, he knew that the other party must be thinking.

After a long time, Miss Anat, who was blowing the night wind, whispered softly amidst the sound of horseshoes:

"I'm afraid no one knows the complete content of "Whispering Poems". I just know that the poems predict the major events that will happen in the Sixth Epoch. The thirteen chosen ones appear one by one, just like the brave men or knights in ancient fairy tales Like the protagonists in the novel, after experiencing all kinds of troubles and dangers, they were promoted to the thirteenth ring."

In Xia De's mind, an epic oil painting scroll has already emerged.

"And then? What is the purpose of the thirteen chosen ones?"

Miss Anat continued:

"When all the chosen ones appear, and all the survivors are promoted to the thirteenth ring or all die, a door will open, and then everything in the material world will change."

"Door? What kind of door?"

"I don't know. I didn't have the chance to ask the high-level church or the professors of the college for their opinions on "Whispering Verses", but my opinion is that behind the door lies the secret of the fall of the old gods. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Zhengshen The truth of the rise. The opening of the door will open the ancient secrets, and it may even make the person who pushed the door promoted to a god, but it may also release some terrible things that lead to the destruction of the world. This is destruction, but also rebirth.

And what's worse, according to The Whispering Canto, that door must be pushed open. "

Xia De frowned. If the information provided by Miss Anat is all true, then what will happen to the chosen ones will completely disrupt the order of the world. Under this prosperous steam era, undercurrents are surging:

"It's too bad, who are the thirteen chosen?"

"I don't know. In fact, no one will know the identity of the chosen one unless they happen to get the corresponding part of "Whispering Poetry". Of course I didn't get it. I have other ways."

She was still looking out the window.

"Who is Miss Iruna Bayas?"

"I don't know...I know this."

She turned her head and smiled at Xia De, but there was no smile in her eyes:

"Detective, what I talked to you about today, I haven't talked to the doctors. Because you are outside of fate, you are absolutely impossible to be the chosen one. The reason why I told you this is to invite you Walk with me."

"What to do?"

Those purple eyes look like they're glowing, but they're really pretty:

"Go find and witness the thirteen chosen ones, and help them. Since the door must be pushed open, and there are dangers and opportunities behind that door, then I want to witness that door being pushed open with my own eyes, and promise that it will not will cause the destruction of the world."

She stretched out her white hand to Xia De, and her purple eyes looked at Xia De:

"Shad Sullen Hamilton, will you help me?"
