Whispering Poems

Chapter 1097 Shade's Lie
Even if Jazz didn't know how much pyroxene was needed, he would definitely want more.So it's not that he is not in a hurry to enter the swamp, but he must stay, at least get the pyroxene here:

"That's why he will be seen by the witch's followers. It's not that he's not being cautious, but he must stay!"

Having figured this out, Xia De didn't try to solve the test of the keeper in front of him, because apparently Sir Priscia had already completed the last round, and he had just started now, and he couldn't catch up with the progress:

"Since the keeper is still here, it means that at least the test is not over yet!"

Thinking of this, Xia De tried to accumulate anger in his heart, and then stood beside the cardboard house, covering his face with his hands.

With the rustling sound, the stone skin spread from the hands to the whole body. At the same time, curled wings grew from the back, and Xia De turned into a stone statue again in the snowstorm.

Seeing this scene, the gray-haired old man shrank back into the cardboard house after shaking his head slightly.The wind and snow became more and more severe, and snowflakes covered the head and shoulders of the angel stone statue. Gradually, the stone statue was covered by snow.

No one wants to set foot in a dirty alley where no one sweeps the snow in this weather.In the empty alley, a new figure was ushered in half an hour later.Lykins Priscia's boots stepped on the snow, just like stepping on a solid road, and he came to the front of the cardboard house smoothly.

He didn't notice the angel statue that was almost integrated into the alley, but called softly:
"I have helped the children in the slums so that they can spend this winter safely. I exposed my whereabouts to the church. The church found out that those children had contact with me. While investigating those children, they will help them survive. Winter. This is your first test."

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, he continued:

"I found the public welfare home in Huntington, and found a child who lost his parents due to a relic out of control accident two years ago. I took out the relic derivatives in his body, left him a large sum of money, and hired Lawyer, monitor the use of that money, which is enough for him to live to adulthood. If he wants to study, it is also enough. This is your second test."

The Sir waited again, but still received no answer, and spoke a third time:
"The third test, you asked me to investigate the origin of this strange snowstorm. In fact, the cause of this snowstorm is related to the power of the Pantanal evil. Two hours ago, I could have told you the answer directly, But I went to the church first and donated all my money before returning here. I hope those children can survive this winter smoothly, I probably completed your test perfectly."

He still didn't get an answer, but the strong wind suddenly blew away the paper shell house at this time. While the paper shell was flying high into the sky, the crystal blue teardrop-shaped spar was lying quietly on the snow. .

The middle-aged gentleman smiled and reached out to pick it up, but suddenly looked to his left hand in a daze.

【He found you. 】

"This thaumaturgy can last for so long, it is quite powerful."

He was going to sneak up on the Jazz as he turned away.

Thinking in my heart, I put down my hands and lifted the petrification state.The two looked at each other in the snow, and the airflow exhaled from their nostrils formed white smoke, which drifted away with the wind.

After a while, the middle-aged gentleman from the southern country asked softly:
"Mr. Hamilton, what a coincidence, I met you again. Are you really here to see Her Majesty Margaret?"

Xia De did not answer his question, but asked instead:
"So sir, what are you doing now?"

The middle-aged jazz from the southern country said with a smile:

"I am very clear about what I am doing—the pursuit of the supreme wisdom. I have thought since I was young that I would spend my whole life seeking knowledge. I thought that mortals have limits after all, and I can only enjoy chasing in this life. The process of knowledge, but now I have the opportunity to take a big step forward directly. Yes, a big step that no mortal man can take."

"Then what is it to pay?"

Shad asked in standard Kasonlik.

"Knight, do you still remember the conversation we had on the carriage on the way back after containing the "Book of Fools"? You told me the story of your professor friend chasing knowledge, but finally gave up because of his own cowardice. I wanted to tell You said a word, but you didn't have the nerve to say it at the time."

Xia De snorted, and two streams of white smoke entered the snow.

"A wise man who pursues knowledge always knows what he wants. The price doesn't matter, because everything is worth it."

Jazz said to Shad with certainty:

"Knowledge is power, and wisdom is the most precious wealth of human beings. I want to use wisdom and knowledge to cast my crown and touch the ancient miracles that mortals cannot reach."

His eyes looked at Xia De, and Fengxue didn't make the two of them blink, even though Xia De wanted to do so very much.

"I know you want to stop me, so sir, don't you have a goal of your own to chase?"

"Of course, but I will not sacrifice others for my own goals. I will not burn an entire library just for a few books."

"You still care about that little thing?"

Jazz was surprised by this, smiled and said:
"You will not sacrifice others, just because your goals are not lofty enough, not ambitious enough. A wise man is like water, endless life, and the pursuit of wisdom is endless. It is often said that a person's life goals can often reflect a person's ambition and Wisdom, and my ambition and goal in life are wisdom and knowledge itself, and what I desire is exactly what I desire, and this is the most lofty ideal of a mortal.”

"A wise man is like water."

This sentence, Xia De also said in front of Miss Violet in the Fifth Era:

"My goals in life are beyond your imagination. Even my simplest ideals, exploring the mysteries of time and reuniting with friends from the past, are beyond your comprehension."

Xia De said firmly, Jazz shook his head slightly, as if laughing at Xia De:
"Arrogance is the original sin; lying is an unforgivable crime in doctrine. Mr. Shade Hamilton, Knight Hamilton of Rejed, detective at No. [-] Saint Teresa Square, do you really want to stop me? Or , are you really Shad Hamilton? When did your Carson Rik Common Language get so good?"

He already had doubts. After all, it was unreasonable for Xia De to appear here so soon, and his combat power didn't look like the Fourth Ring.Coupled with two unexpected encounters in a row, it was hard not to make him suspicious.

Jazz's understanding of Shard Kasenlik was limited to his poor greetings at Lakeview Manor.

"Who am I, does it matter? I am the chosen one of knowledge and wisdom, yes, I am too, but my ranking is behind you. If I kill you, I will be the chosen one."

After what happened to Sister Devlin, most of the organizations that were looking for the chosen ones knew about the "ranking" system of the chosen ones, so it didn't matter for Xia De to say it at this time.And deliberately confusing the public, of course, is to make the identity of Shade Hamilton more secure.

Unexpectedly, Sir Priscia frowned:
"So that makes sense. The few ring magicians I know well in Tobesk happen to be looking for the Chosen One too. It sounds too coincidental. My luck won't be that bad. I'll just say The last time I fought you in the alley of the library, you have a power that I am very familiar with. It is a good idea to approach me deliberately as Hamilton, very good. But Her Royal Highness Margaret has arrived in the local area now, and I have inquired I realized that she didn't see anyone at all, so I thought... It seems that I guessed right."

Xia De stopped talking at this time, but took out a pistol with a strange black metallic luster from his coat, which looked like a glass-covered pistol.While Jazz stepped back slowly with a serious face, the ring of fate appeared:
"Do you know "Book of Fools", I saw some interesting knowledge in it?"

Looks like he's going to show his strength.

Xia De shook his head, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.Sir Priscia smiled confidently, the profane rune [egg] and the enlightenment rune [shield] shone brightly, and the transparent egg shell wrapped him.

But after Xia De pulled the trigger, there was no gunshot inexplicably.Even, at that moment, all the surrounding sounds disappeared.Inexplicable darkness seemed to envelope the surroundings at once. Half a second after Shade and Sir Priscia were completely blind, Shade looked at the smoking muzzle suspiciously, and the middle-aged gentleman in a windbreaker staggered back a step. Then he fell on the snow in the alley.

A penetrating wound appeared on his chest, and the black mud squirmed in the wound, corroding flesh and blood.The blood was sprinkled all over the snow, but it all turned into a corrosive liquid. The complexion of Lykins Priscia's entire body was turning black, and Shad felt at least five different curses working on him.

For the shot just now, Xia De used three devil bullets that were loaded in the magazine in advance.Since there was such a weapon, he certainly wouldn't use it until the end, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Not only was the chosen one almost seriously injured by the blow, but even he, the shooter, felt the disgusting curse spreading towards his palm, and there was even a whisper of demonic language in his heart.It is obviously reasonable for the doctor not to let him use the power of the devil casually.

"Very powerful pistol."

Jazz, who was coughing up blood, tried to hold onto the snow to get up, but Shad had already pointed his gun at him, and was about to shoot again.

"But you have no chance."

When Jazz's voice fell, he had already disappeared on the snow.

[Under the snow layer. 】

There was a reminder sound next to my ear, and then a book really flew out from under the snow layer.Xia De didn't have the confidence to hit the high-speed flying object, so instead of wasting the remaining two demon bullets, he frowned and chased after it.

The book didn't fly out of the alley, it stopped quickly.When the page opened, Sir Priscia, whose body was intact but still coughing blood, jumped out of the page:

"The books I read, the ahem, knowledge I possess are my most powerful strength."

This seemed to be a spell cast, and at the same time as the voice fell, two four-story bookshelves appeared beside Jazz.When Xia De realized what happened, the snow under his feet trembled slightly, and then dense gray stones rose from the ground.

If you look closely, it is clearly an old gray stone bookshelf. Following the spell cast by Rakins Priscia, like towering tombstones, they are stacked and crooked, erected in the alley until the two of them are together. surrounded.

"Mysterious lock?!"
