Whispering Poems.

Chapter 53 Inner Desire

After Professor Garcia left, Shard continued to slump on the chair with his eyes closed. After several minutes, he quietly squinted his eyes and looked around the silent living room to confirm that the other party had really left, and then he sat up straight.

He touched the sweat on his forehead, and under the light of the gas lamp, his face showed an expression of waking up from a big dream.Of course that look just now was faked, it seems that the deliberate performance is right.In the view of the professors of St. Byrons, even just seeing the dwelling place of God should not be easy.

Looking down at the sink again, under the light of the brass gas lamp on the living room wall, not a drop of water remained.Only the dry elective parchment roll lay quietly inside, with no words behind it.

"What happened just now?"

He asked to his head, and at the same time took out the keys in his pocket.Sure enough, it was still the time key, but the surface of the key was covered with cracks.

"Why can the key be reused? Why did I encounter the task of [Father of the Infinite Tree] when I traveled through time and space for the first time? Why is that god called the ancient god? The thirteen original gods said by the old god."

[Outlander, I am you, you don't know, and I don't know either. 】

The woman chuckles.

[All the differences that I have shown so far from the normal situation all come from your particularity.The knowledge of the Delarian language is the broken memory of the last soul in my body that I have absorbed; being able to perceive the relic at close range is a special feature of the souls of strangers.I am you, this is your special.You don't know, and neither do I. 】

The explanation she gave was exactly the same as what Shade thought during the day.

Hearing the words in his ear, Shade leaned back on the chair and looked at the ceiling:
"In this world, I finally saw a god with my own eyes."

He sighed, and after he recovered completely, he thought of more things:
"The thirteen ancient gods, why have never heard of such a statement? The father of the infinite tree, the thirteen founding series of Rhodes cards, and the last thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era, what is the coincidence? Thirteen This number must have some special meaning. Everything comes from the ancient gods?"

[Maybe you can guess by yourself, I think you should already have an idea. 】

"Yes, but there is no evidence for this idea"

With a sigh, sum up for tonight's "adventure":

"This time, at least I didn't lose anything."

[You also obtained the spell [False Immortality]. 】

"But I didn't complete the task and get paid for thaumaturgy and spirit runes."

[You still have two chances. 】

"I don't understand what the 'afterglow' of the gods was talking about."

[But at least you are still alive, and you still have infinite possibilities. 】

Shade sat on the chair and laughed:
"Actually, I appreciate you being able to speak in my ear. Although I'm still not sure what you are, it feels good to have someone by my side all the time. Don't console me, I'm not that vulnerable. Since Seeing the opportunity to gain strength, I will not let go of the afterglow of the gods, perhaps the priest Augustus will have an opinion."

Looking at the bedroom door, which opened slightly, the orange cat Mia, who was tired from playing, squeezed out sleepily through the door, but the cat was obviously not that narrow.

The big amber eyes looked at Xia De, and the little short legs took a run and slammed into Xia De's knees.After lying down, I didn't feel Shade touching it for a long time, so I slapped Shade's legs with my paws in dissatisfaction.

Shade then reached out and stroked the soft fur on Mia's back. The orange hair was unusually soft and warm, like holding a small stove.

"Meow~"

It turned over on Xia De's legs, kicked its four calves, and exposed its white belly to Xia De. It tilted its head and looked at Xia De from below with big eyes. Only then did the outsider feel that he had completely gotten rid of the one just now. The mental impact of the incident:

"Thank you too, Mia. Thank you for liking me so much."

He played with the orange cat with his hands, raised his head and looked at the window covered by heavy fabric curtains:

"god."

The stranger muttered to himself.

(Mia is running.)

The next day was Thursday in the fourth week of the Sunshine Moon. When picking up newspapers, milk and goat milk in the morning, Shade received a letter from the "Taylor and Wanda Combined Mining Company" in the southern part of the kingdom. It was the manuscript page that allowed Shade to contact the Academy directly, exactly the same as Dr. Schneider's.

When eating breakfast with Mia, Xia De hesitated for a while.Although Professor Garcia said that he could write the report on his behalf, Shade finally wrote another one himself, and then described his physical condition, and passed it to the academy through the pages of the poem.

The reply from the academy was also very fast. It seemed to be the reply written by Professor Garcia.He asked Shade to pay attention to recuperation. The credit award and other awards for this investigator mission will be decided after the college meeting of the History College.

This kind of investigation that almost saw the gods raised the level of the [Time Key] in the fifth era-1068 to the angel level.Therefore, Xia De guessed that, as if he had really seen a god, he should be classified as level 0 of the unknowable level.

After dealing with these things, I whispered good morning to the woman in my head for the first time, and then I clipped the pages of the poem to the novel "The Silver Knight".Now the broken key was locked in the drawer of the bedroom desk by him.As for the spell [False Immortality] obtained yesterday, it can only be used when he is seriously injured. Xia De is reluctant to injure himself or the cat to the point of being seriously injured, so he cannot use it for the time being.

But at least he has obtained a new spell, and the effect is not ordinary.

He still doesn't understand what happened last night, and intends to try to open a new [Time Key] after the history school summarizes the incident to confirm whether last night was a special case.

Although I really want to get the quest rewards of the Fifth Epoch-1068, Thaumaturgy-Blade of Deranged Time and the Spirit Rune [Echo], but the old god [Innocent Creator] said that he needs at least the power of "Afterglow of God" to complete it Task.

Therefore, until he understands what "Afterglow of God" is, Shade will not waste the remaining two chances with the key in his hand.

"Could this be caused by the particularity of my soul? I don't think so much for now. Today's goal is the Prophet Association."

He said while sorting his clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, while Mia rolled and played on the bed behind him.

[Outlander, your soul is very special, and this is still a problem caused by your characteristics.I am you, no doubt about that. 】

The murmured voice said, and the voice was very pleasant.It was the first time that Xia De heard the other party speak like this. She seemed to be in a good mood, probably because Xia De told her good morning.
