Whispering Poems

Chapter 1226 The Past of the Golden Dawn

After returning to the city from outside Randall Valley, Shad returned directly to Tobesk's home.Considering that she will spend the night in the wild tonight, Miya must not be able to take it with her.So Shade hurriedly took the cat to find Dorothy, but Dorothy was not at home that afternoon.

So after many inquiries, Xia De found Miss Writer who had just finished her speech in the lecture hall of Tobesk Second Mechanical Academy.

She was invited to give a lecture on popular fiction writing today, so she also wore light makeup.Seeing Xia De waiting for her at the door, the blonde girl happily invited Xia De to have dinner tonight, but Xia De refused:
"I'm spending the night in Randall's Valley tonight, oh, don't get me wrong."

Xia De saw the teasing expression of the blonde girl:
"Not with Luvia, in fact, since Luvia left Tobesk, I have never been with her again. I am going to spend the night in the wild, waiting for something to happen, so I ask you to take care of Mia tonight .”

He handed his cat to Dorothy. Recently, Dorothy often helped Shade take care of it, so Mia did not refuse:
"Just pay attention to your own safety. Remember to come to me as soon as you come back. I will probably worry all night again."

After speaking, I was very satisfied to see the guilty expression on Xia De's face:

"Xia De, this is just an exaggeration. Be safe and remember to come back early."

After looking around and making sure that there was no one in the corridor, she calmly fiddled with the broken hair around her ear, then tiptoed and kissed Xia De's side face.A faint blush appeared on the face of the blond girl. If it was the soul of Rezia, she would never have such a shy expression:
"Also, don't neglect Luvia. Really, Rezia and I don't stay with you every night. If you always go home every night, Luvia will misunderstand me."

After dealing with Mia's affairs, Shad took the [Night Watchman] and returned to Randall Valley.When the Witch's Manor joined her, three sorceresses of the nine rings and five sorceresses of the middle ring had gathered around the witch. Obviously, she attached great importance to this operation.

Miss Lathers was not in tonight's operation. Before everyone set off, she told Miss Shad and Miss Benanis to pay attention to safety.And such a huge team was divided into three carriages and set off.

As for the [Night Watchman], because it was placed in a scabbard made by the old witch, it did not arouse Miss Benanis' suspicion.If it is not necessary, Xia De will not use the power of this sword at will tonight.

When we arrived at Qingcao Farm, the sun had already set below the city, leaving only the last ray of afterglow covering the city, making the city golden.A group of ten people changed trains at Qingcao Farm, rode into the forest, and the little white beast followed without any surprise.

Miss Bernice and Shad wanted to stop it, but even baby unicorns were not easy to deal with.On the other hand, the other ladies in the team were particularly happy with the appearance of this little beast, which greatly improved the morale of the team.

When we arrived at the camp under the cliff that we found in the afternoon, the sun had completely set.The dark mountain forest of Xidi is a bit scary, but because there are companions around, the feeling of terror is not very serious.

Without Miss Benanis and Shad's actions, the Witch's followers began to build camps and bonfires, and deployed means of defense, vigilance, and detection nearby.

Xia De and the Witch sat by the bonfire and waited for dinner. The pure white beast lay beside Xia De, and the [Night Watchman] was placed horizontally in front of him.The light of the bonfire illuminated the face of Shad wearing a cold cloak. Miss Benanis held a teacup and curiously said to Shad who was sitting next to him:
"It's really interesting, unicorns really like you. Unicorns obviously prefer pure girls and ignorant children, and you don't fit any of them."

"I am not sure as well."

Xia De touched the forehead of the little beast, who squinted his eyes enjoying the touch.I have to admit that the touch of its fur is almost comparable to that of Mia.

"In fact, many things have happened to me that I still don't understand."

Xia De looked at the young brown-haired girl, who was busy grilling meat by the campfire.The girls in the troupe are very good at cooking, much better than foreigners:
"If I have time, I can tell you my story, many stories."

The witch smiled:
"I haven't forgotten yet. I lost the horse race in the morning. We will probably wait until late tonight. I happen to have time. What story do you want to hear from me?"

Xia De thought for a while:
"I heard from Miss Galina and Miss Aurora that you only met Miss Lathers when the original Golden Dawn was on the verge of collapse. I don't understand how she is so young, how could she become a member of the Order of the Old Gods?" What about the leader? Because her father disappeared? I heard you say it on Sunday."

Even in the era when the old gods left, the leaders of the church are generally held by elders.

"Things are very complicated. On the one hand, Sirius was the strongest in the church at that time."

Miss Benanis looked at the bonfire, recalling the past:
"Now she is the seventh ring. When I met her, she was already the fifth ring at the age of 15. Even in the three major thaumaturgy academies, reaching the fifth ring at this age is enough to be called a genius, let alone It’s the old church of the gods that is heading for ruin. You know how difficult it is to be promoted without systematic training. When I met her, there were only five ring magicians in the entire order, and Siris was the only one among them. Warlock."

This is much better than the only old lady left in the [Earth Shaker] sect.

Recalling the past, Miss Benanis smiled:

"By the way, Siris's awakening talent is seven years old, which is quite rare. But it is precisely because she was only seven years old when she awakened that she can have the following achievements."

Xia De nodded, Miss Lathers awakened her talent at the age of seven, and the awakening of her talent when Priest Augustus was old is the same rare situation, and the former is even more rare.

"That's one reason, what about the other?"

Xia De asked again, taking the teacup handed over by the female sorceress at the side and thanking him in a low voice.The latter looked curiously at the unicorn lying next to Xia De, but didn't have the courage to touch it for the time being.

"On the other hand, what you said is that the previous generation leader of the church, that is, Siris' father, Mr. Willon Lathers of the Sixth Ring, disappeared inexplicably. Sirius' father is said to be very strong, and she can When standing on the ground with both feet, the ability to quickly recover from injuries was taught by Mr. Lathers."

The witch shook her head slightly:

"There are many possibilities for the inexplicable disappearance of the Ring Warlock, but for Sirius at that time, it meant a change in the trajectory of his life. I had just taken over the teacher's seat at the time, and I was traveling in the Old Continent, thinking about my future path. When I arrived in the local area, I happened to meet Sirius who was entangled with a troublesome relic. At that time, she was not only the leader of the church, but also the sole legal heir of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe that was about to go bankrupt. After many, many stories, there is now of the Golden Dawn."

That's a pretty interesting story, and it's pretty long.It started before dinner and didn't come to an end until after ten o'clock in the evening.The relic that Miss Lasers encountered back then was the Keeper-level relic [Curse of the Black Gate].The only characteristic of this relic is that every door opened by the cursed is a "cursed black door" leading to an unknown subspace.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't open the door yourself and let someone else open the door, this curse will not affect the cursed person, so the rating is only "Keeper Level".But the problem is that the [Curse of the Black Gate] at that time was on the verge of getting out of control due to some reasons, so that every door Miss Lassus passed through might be transformed into a "Black Gate".

It took Miss Benanis half a month to determine the source of the [curse of the black door], which is where the real black door is located.In the end, he managed to introduce the "Black Gate" into the parliament, and used the power of the parliament to completely suppress it and contain it—this is one of the basic functions of the parliament.After this incident was resolved, she was invited by Miss Lasses to stay, and finally formed a brand new Golden Dawn together.

The story was quite interesting to Shad, only less so than Dorothy and Rezia's diary.He cautiously avoided those private details, and asked more about the "cursed" relics, and Miss Benanis was also happy to answer for Shad.

The night was getting dark, but none of the ladies around had any plans to rest.The crackling of the campfire surrounded the whispers and murmurs.

Chatting with the witch, Xia De accidentally looked up at the night sky over the sparse forest, saw the star sea hanging upside down above his head, and saw three moons hanging above the vast star sea.Although the air pollution is already very serious in this era, the wilderness far away from the city is different after all.

In a trance, I thought that I had sat by the campfire in the dark and whispered to different girls many times.It's just that, except for Iluna, those girls, those memories, and the past are things from the last era after all.

"Why do you show this expression, if Jialinna finds out, you'll think I'm bullying you."

The blond witch laughed and made a joke. Xia De shook his head and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the cry of the little beast beside him:
"Ang~"

It got up immediately, raised its head vigilantly and looked towards the depths of the forest in the southwest. At the same time, it seemed that the sound of a strong wind blowing through the forest also rang in its ears, which meant that the outermost vigilance had been triggered:
"Miss, someone is coming. It's alive."

Everyone stood up in the camp, the thaumaturgy of disguising faces and voices lit up, and the ladies who were in charge of watching the outside appeared in the trees.
