Whispering Poems

Chapter 1187 Church of the Forsaken

"If you don't need this thing anymore, sell it to me, and I can pay a very high price."

Seeing that Xia De was still thinking, Old John suggested, but Xia De shook his head:
"Not yet. But John, I know that this piece of metal records a lot of information, but it needs to be triggered in a specific way. Is there any way to directly know the hidden information of this thing? Or even open it directly? Yes Yes, there are other things inside."

"It's really interesting. Then I'll try it out. The master alchemist who made this item and my level, who is higher?"

The old man put down the newspaper in his hand, and brought out a suitcase from under the counter, which contained a series of crystal lenses of different sizes and thicknesses.

Using these lenses and some metal parts, Old John quickly assembled a pair of brass monocles with retractable lenses.After carefully putting it on his right eye, he looked down at the silver cube.

After a long time, I shook my head and took off my glasses:
"Interesting, more interesting than I thought. It's almost solid mithril, and there are dozens of different pieces of information recorded in it. But as long as you can make six of them appear, you can let it open and get the information hidden in the center. things. Don’t try to break it by force, or you will damage the items inside.”

"What's in it. The key?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you guess it's the key?"

Old John asked curiously, seeing that Xia De didn't want to answer, he didn't ask:

"I just saw the approximate shape. Although it is very vague, it is definitely not a key. At least it is not a normal-shaped key."

Then it must not be what Xia De was looking for, but this is normal, Xia De does not think that his luck is so good, and he can find the trace of the key as soon as he arrives in Randall City.

"It's really a brilliant alchemy technique. I don't know which master made it. Xia De, if one day it is useless to you, please sell it to me. Even without these mithrils, this is quite an amazing work of art .”

Old John said while taking off his glasses, but Xia De had some doubts——

How did the low-level warlock Mr. Thomas Granger, who was buried somewhere, get such a powerful alchemy item?

Temporarily understanding the usefulness of the Silver Cube, Xia De tried it and found that [Key of the Door] did not judge it as a lock, so after being unable to crack it, he did not leave in a hurry:

"Sir, about the doomsday, I have something I want to talk to you about. It's not with the store owner, but with Old John of [Guide Light Priory]."

The old man nodded, and continued to tidy up the lenses on the table slowly:

"It seems that around the end of the year, you made a great discovery?"

"Yes, I entered a weird dream and learned some information because of it. The end will probably come soon."

This is based on the image of Luvia in the dream. Although the slightly mature Luvia is older, she is definitely not more than 30 years old.However, considering that she used to be a demigod witch, maybe she could be older, but the doomsday will certainly not exceed one or two hundred years.

"Yes, yes, I also had enlightenment before the end of the year. Of course the end will come, and it will probably exceed our expectations."

Stuffing the box under the counter, Old John clasped his hands together and looked at Shad:

"This is related to the prophetic poems of the fifth era witch, and also related to the gods."

"What will you do?"

Xia De asked, although Old John was old, but his eyes were very powerful:
"We have always believed that the coming of the doomsday is a natural phenomenon in the world. But we will not sit still and find the answer. If we can stop it, we will unite all possible forces to stop the doomsday. If we cannot stop the doomsday, we will try our best to delay its arrival. .If you can’t even delay, plan for post-apocalyptic survival. If no one survives post-apocalypse, at least leave a message of our civilization.”

The old man sighed slightly:

"I have pessimistic thoughts about this. Fortunately, the enlightenment I got is not particularly clear. Maybe there are other ways to interpret the enlightenment. After all, I have seen many possibilities of doomsday at once. But don't go too far Pessimistically, we are not the only two in this world, the Orthodox Church, the three colleges, and other ancient existences in the material world, even criminals full of crimes, will not watch the world go to destruction."

Xia De nodded, his mood didn't change much, after all he had accepted the fact half a month ago.It was just that when he looked at the newspaper that Old John had put on the table, he accidentally saw a familiar name.

It was in the newspapers that Princess Margaret of Anjou and Prince William of Anjou of Carson Rik were going to Randall's Vale to inaugurate the Second Southern Dockyard of the United Kingdom Naval Forces.Xia De already knew this from Rezia, and the newspaper mentioned this time that Princess Margaret arrived in Randall Valley City this Friday.

However, he still doesn't know if Miss Sylvia will go with her.

Sighing slightly in his heart, the morning was about to pass, and Shad planned to go to Randall Valley City to meet Luvia as soon as possible.Just before leaving, he thought of another thing:
"Papa John, do you know the old god [Forgotten Old Man]?"

This is the name of the god who belonged to the abandoned church that the silver cube was told yesterday.

"Oh? Didn't expect you to know this god?"

The old man who picked up the newspaper again glanced at Xia De:
"You have to know that even if the gods leave, their power is still affecting the material world. It is manifested in the power of the old god-the god of memory [Forgotten Old Man], that is, very few people can remember the information of this god. Even if I , and only know of the existence of this god, know that his order is called the 'Order of the Forsaken', and the church is called the 'Church of the Forsaken', and nothing else."

"So, where can I get information about it?"

Xia De asked again curiously, unexpectedly the old man shrugged:

"I may have known it before, but I have forgotten it now. The Orthodox Church and the three colleges may have some records, but you should not have too much hope. The god of memory is also the god of forgetting. Since he does not want to be Ordinary people remember it, but we certainly cannot remember it. However, it is said that his sect seems to still exist, of course, it is only rumored."

In this way, the clues about the strange church were interrupted again.

From the basement of my home, I went to the "Forgotten Church" in Randall Valley, shuttled through the ruins of the church, and entered the courtyard from the main entrance of the church.

Although it was light snow yesterday, the weather in Randall Valley today is exceptionally good, and the temperature is higher than Tobesk.When basking in the sun and passing through the courtyard of the abandoned church, Shad even felt a little hot.It's just that there is still snow in the courtyard, and winter is far from over.

The Prophet Association of Randall Valley City is also located in the city's core neighborhood.On the left side of the association is the magnificent town hall residence, but it is a little different from Tobesk's Prophet Association.

Tobesk's association is located on Silver Cross Avenue. Although it occupies a large area, it is still a standard three-story cuboid building.In front of the Prophet Association in Randall Valley City is the square, which is connected to the square in front of the city hall with the flag of Carson Rick flying.

On the edge of the square in front of the association is a white stone fountain with a figure holding a crystal ball in one hand and a card in the other. Two stone stairs surround the fountain from the left and right sides, leading to the main entrance of the association at a high place. On the railing of the stairs, It is decorated with metal vines, branches and snakes.

Such a main entrance is much more imposing than Tobesk's association.But the reason is also obvious. The house price in Randall Valley is completely inferior to that northern pearl.

Xia De didn't know exactly when Luvia would come to the association today, so he planned to wait in the association and wanted to surprise Luvia.The association in the morning was already very lively, and the love for Rhodes brand does not distinguish between nationalities.If it weren't for the fact that everyone around him spoke Kasenlik, Shad would even feel that this place is no different from Tobesk.

Although disguised, he still looks like a northerner at this time.If you hang out in the association with nothing to do, it will obviously attract unnecessary attention, so Xia De decided to find something to do for himself.

The Prophet Association in Randall Valley has almost the size of a large city library.The building is divided into four floors, only one floor lower than the city hall on the side.Both the first floor and the second floor are engaged in business related to Rhodes cards, and of course the card playing venues provided for the players are indispensable.After all, the Prophet Association itself is also considered a Rhodes Club.

The venue that Xia De took a fancy to was the terrace facing the central staircase on the second floor.The area of ​​the terrace was about the size of Shade's living room, with seven or eight square tables, each with unopened parasols on the side.Although this place is only on the second floor and is not high, the association itself is at a high place in the city, so the balcony on the second floor can overlook the city scenery slightly, and see the valley and forest in the distance. The scenery is quite good.

Xia De took a fancy to the outermost position near the railing of the balcony. After he sat down, although his back was facing the railing and the little angel stone statue on the railing, "she" could always monitor whether Luvia appeared at the entrance of the association.

At the long table with the best position, there was already a middle-aged man who was sorting out his deck of cards.When Shadela opened the chair across the table and sat down, the gentleman with thick eyebrows looked up at him:
"A face I've never seen before, sir, are you a stranger?"

"A writer from Willendale heard that the scenery here is beautiful, and wanted to come here to collect materials."

Xia De also took out his own deck, of course, all the special cards have been taken out.
