Whispering Poems

1290 - Four Seasons
The badge had already pointed out the location of Witch Shade, so Shade was not surprised by Tifa's appearance.

He nodded to Dorothy, and the somewhat shy girl entered the room on her own initiative.And when Shad walked towards Tifa, Agelina also walked behind Shad.

"Good evening, Miss Galina."

In the bright lounge, the Duchess stood in front of the window with a glass of wine.The window was open, allowing the cold night wind to blow her long red hair.

"Good evening, Shad."

As he spoke, he turned around and saw that Adelina was also here:

"Adelina, why don't you entertain the guests? You are the protagonist of today's banquet, so you can't be absent for a long time."

"I just want to thank you, thank you for being here today."

Adelina said with some embarrassment:

"If you come to my birthday party, my father will be more cautious about my marriage. Anyway, thank you for coming."

Miss Galina will not attend every birthday of the royal family, or rather, her presence today is far beyond most people's expectations, but people also think that among them, Miss Galina has just returned to Tobes gram reason.This powerful duchess with her own fief is quite important in Tobesk.

"You know, I can come only because Shade is here."

She spoke casually, watching Xia De want to speak, raised her eyebrows:

"Xia De, you don't need to interrupt, I know what Agelina is thinking, and I know you want to help her. Just do it, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

The little princess had a look of surprise on her face, and the Duchess smiled and said:
"I don't intend to get involved in the political struggles of the descendants of the royal family. After all, it doesn't have much to do with me. But if Xia De asks me, I'm still willing to help."

Said and waved to Adelina:

"Go and entertain guests, Diana will be worried if she doesn't see you."

Adelina lifted her skirt and bowed in thanks, then hurriedly turned and left.Tifa closed the door, Shad took out two bottles of red wine from his pocket and put them on the table:

"Drink mine, but I don't recommend drinking too much."

Miss Galina shook her head:
"I didn't come to you to talk about this. There was news from Benanis that the Orthodox Church's roundup of the evil god believers basically ended two hours ago. The result can't be said to be good, but at least it's not bad. "

"Then let's say the good news first."

Shad sat on the sofa, and Tifa bent down to pour him tea.

"The good news is that the cultist you mentioned with [Power of the Earth·Stone Incarnation] was shot dead on the spot during the roundup of the church."

The Duchess sighed slightly:
"The thirteen-ring warlock who was transferred to the Randall Valley personally took action against him, and Benanis was also secretly preparing to intercept his escape. I thought it would be troublesome, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. This shows that the other party is not the earth. The Chosen One. Past experience shows that the only one who can kill the Chosen One... or you."

Shad smiled embarrassedly, but after the Ring Warlock with the "Avatar of Stone" was ruled out, the suspicion of Mr. Lathers and Mr. Thomas Granger in undead form increased again.

"The learning ceremony of the thaumaturgy [Power of the Earth · Incarnation of Stone] was copied by Benanis before the stronghold of the cultists was breached. Now the council and the church have mastered this unique thaumaturgy. It is a pity to learn The conditions are too harsh, and it is required to have artifacts that inherit the power of the earth."

Miss Galina said, this is indeed good news.

"What's the bad news?"

"Don't worry, the good news is not over yet."

The red-haired witch continued:

"Didn't you say that the ceremony of the Chosen One needs three different god-calling ceremonies to combine? The church has obtained a large number of documents from the cultists this time, including some information about [Ritual Contact Stone Heart Demon] That part of the information was mixed with other documents, and Benanis was forced to retreat after just a glance. The ceremony is not complete, so far I only know that there are three sacrifices to be offered, flowers, stones, and souls."

"Speaking of which, the sacrifices that need to be offered in [Ritual Contact Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly] are leaves, flowers, and fruits. 'Flowers' are overlapping elements, which means that when splitting [The Feast of the Mother Earth], the elements of flowers are all The two gods ingested. But the soul"

"Although the prototype of the ritual of calling the evil gods comes from the rituals of the ancient gods, it does not mean that all of them belong to the rituals of the ancient gods. The three gods must have added their own elements to their respective calling rituals. Therefore, the final The Chosen Ceremony not only requires us to make up for the missing parts, but also needs to identify the redundant parts. In my opinion, the sacrifice of souls should belong to the redundant parts."

Miss Galina said cautiously, but this is just an inference. To be on the safe side, they must prepare their souls in advance, which is a very taboo move.

"Flowers, stones and souls must be related to the symbol of 'autumn'. They cannot be ordinary items, but they don't have to be powerful items. They must be mysterious and symbolic enough. This is the key."

Miss Galina added, and Xia De frowned slightly:
"Interesting, ritual calling to the old god Butterfly God, asking for a symbol of 'spring'."

"[Earth Mother Goddess] was originally the god of the four seasons. This ancient god affects the four seasons of the earth. In ancient times, he was also called the 'Lord of the Four Seasons'. In addition to the earth and the cornerstone, his most famous authority is actually four seasons."

The witch explained to Xia De, and then thought of the same thing with Xia De:

"What is the season represented by the last of the three earth gods, the old god of earthquakes [Earth Shaker]?"

Xia De asked, currently Miss Aurora is still actively communicating with the last priest Mrs. Ilar (Chapter 457) who lives near the town of Herkys, in order to obtain the god-calling ceremony.

"In summer, I heard Xi Wei mention it during the last meeting."

Miss Galina said with certainty, and deduced from this:
"Spring, summer and autumn, then maybe, the missing part of the ceremony is the power that represents winter, the old god that symbolizes winter, I remember it is"

She glanced at Xia De:
"Let's collect all the materials for the three ceremonies first. Besides, in my opinion, it may be completely useless for us to prepare these in advance. Look at the four chosen ones who have performed the ceremonies, [Balance] Ilu Na, [Darkness] Ivan Darkness, [Death] Joy Barton, [Knowledge and Wisdom] Lykins Priscia, which of them didn't prepare everything by themselves? They didn't need the help of others, Fate will guide them, and performing the ceremony is just a process they have to go through, just like pushing the door open before entering."

After a pause, he added:
"Xia De, I'm not saying your preparations are useless, just..."

"I understand what you mean, but after all, there are still things to do. Besides, we have to prevent the chosen ones from failing due to accidents. We have to hold a ceremony to purify the earth. This ceremony is not only the sublimation of the chosen ones, Also for the earth of the material world."

Xia De emphasized that Miss Galina put the wine glass on the window sill and sat next to Xia De:
"I just like how serious you are when you talk about things."

Speaking of looking at Xia De from a close distance, Tifa, who was standing behind the sofa where the two were sitting, looked at the scene in front of him. Xia De stretched out his arms to hug the dear lady, and then kissed her actively, and the latter smiled even more splendid.

"Since this is still good news, what's the bad news?"

Shad hadn't forgotten about it.

"Oh, you are talking about this. Benanis said that although the cultists were breached in the local stronghold, and several people were arrested and killed, the local church seized a large amount of information, but the final number of cultists, Much less than expected."

"Let them run away?"

"It should be hiding, and this operation did not see any members of the [Blood Spirit School], which is also very strange. The current contact between the Randall Valley Diocese and the [Blood Spirit School] is limited to a week ago The encounter you threw yourself into the black mud, so the church and Benanis were also unclear about what role the [Blood Spirit School] played this time."

Listening to Miss Galina's description, Xia De felt more and more suspicious about what happened in the Randall Valley tonight.Although the church achieved most of its goals, it seems that only important documents were obtained.And the real enemy is dormant again at this moment, waiting for the next opportunity in the dark of the city of spring.

The two continued to talk, talking about the handling of the Randall Valley incident by the three colleges, and the current situation of the owners of [Power of the Earth].However, the conversation didn't last long. Seeing Xia De's appearance of wanting to leave, Miss Galina took the initiative to say:

"Then let's talk about this first. I don't want Little Rezia to think that I deliberately want to keep you here to waste her time. Aren't you trying to make an excuse?"

She asked Tifa, who was kneeling on the carpet next to the coffee table to tidy up the tea sets, and the latter said with a smile:

"Look at the manuscript "Summer Night Collection"."

"Yes, didn't she invite you to watch "Summer Night Collection"? And the three of them watched it together."

The Duchess shook her head, got up and pulled Shade up, and then pushed him:
"Such an important appointment, as a gentleman, you must not be late."

After speaking, he took the initiative to tidy up Xia De's collar.

Xia De couldn't say much at this time, kissed the red-haired witch again, and then left.The witch came to the window again, picked up the wine glass and looked at the night scene outside, and asked Tifa after a long time:

"Should I be more proactive? Like Rezia?"

The black-haired maid just stood there without answering, she knew that the question was not for her.Of course, when Tifa Sevit thought about it, being like Princess Rezia was a little too anxious.
