Whispering Poems

Chapter 3267 Night at Home

After leaving the Snow Mountain Hall and returning to the town's streets, the witch patted her chest gently:
"I was really scared just now. Those cultists are really bad. They reported it when they couldn't defeat them."

Shade also thought this was funny, but judging from the attitudes of the two ring wizards just now, the church probably didn't believe it very much:
"They probably just came to watch the ceremony and asked us questions when they happened to run into us. It seems that we don't need to participate in the ceremony. We just need to wait for the results given by Elder Harald."

He lifted the cat curled up in his arms onto his shoulders and calculated the time. It was almost time for the cat's dinner.
“This is what I just took out.”

He then took out the certificate and handed it to Miss Reinhart. Miss Larson also looked at it. The girl from the North could see what it was more easily than the witch from the southern island:
"Military intelligence. Sorry, Sixth Division."

She spoke a little too loudly just now, and the witch asked Xia De in surprise:
"Now I understand why they believed you so quickly, but is this certificate real?"

"Of course, I not only have MI6 credentials, I also have Gray Gloves credentials. To travel around the Old Continent, you must have some suitable identity, right?"

He said with a smile, taking the certificate handed back by the witch:

"Then I'll go back first and come back at seven o'clock."

The witch looked at him in the sunset and pursed her lips:

"How about staying for dinner? It's just an extra set of knives and forks anyway."

This time Xia De did not agree. He knew that someone was waiting for him at home tonight:

"Next time, I have some things to do in the city. It's almost six o'clock now, so let's meet in an hour."

He waved at the two girls and patted Xiaomia. The cat also meowed lazily. Then the man and the cat walked towards the eastern part of the town with their backs to the sunset.

Only when Shad's back was out of sight did Claire Reinhart pat her face gently.

The white-haired apprentice beside him whispered:
"Miss, you can't be too anxious about some things."

"I know Stella, what are you talking about?"

As usual, Xia De left the town before returning home with Mia and the lost crystal slipper. Just as he thought, someone was already waiting for his return at home.

The setting sun illuminated the house with a golden glow. The maids were preparing dinner. Luvia, Karina and Iluna were sitting on the sofa chatting. They stood up together when they heard Shad's footsteps.

"Iluna, are you getting off work so early today?"

Shade asked with a smile, and the girl with long brown hair complained:

"It's not that we got off work early, but we were asked to leave work early after completing a big mission and it was like a holiday. A few days ago, a small town in the east of Tobisk disappeared inexplicably, and the Church of the Sun sent two teams to investigate.

As a result, we were trapped in the lost territory and it took us two days to find the exit. The fortune teller accompanying the team was really poor in his skill. "

"Is the space abnormal?"

"No, it's the relic that got out of control. It's very troublesome to explain in detail. Anyway, after this mission is completed, we will be on holiday at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and we can go to work after noon tomorrow."

She stretched, noticed Karina's eyes and quickly put down her arms:
"Life is always so busy, but it's also quite interesting. Shade, how is Fatumonster Island? I heard the snow-capped mountains there are very beautiful."

During dinner, Shade told them about his experience today. After omitting the appearance of long-haired Luvia, he told them most of the other details, even including the residual sound left by Chloe on the snowy mountain.

Of course, the second source of pollution that he and Miss Rhinehart went to purify today was not important; what was important was the first one.

"[The Puppet Master's Script], [The Spinning Wheel of Prophecy], and [The Kaleidoscope of the Crossroads]?"

At the dining table, Luvia sat next to Shade, while Iluna and Carina sat opposite Shade. The purple-eyed fortune teller pondered, she knew the characteristics of the first two relics, but she had only heard of the name of the last angel-level relic.

But Iluna actually knew what [Wrong Path Kaleidoscope] was:
"It is a floor-length mirror. Its origin is unknown. When people first collected it, they only found that it could show the future to a certain extent. But later they found that it was not showing the future, but 'possibility'."

Iluna knew this because she had investigated this type of relic after she encountered the "what if" who gave her the method to save Shade last year. However, the "what if" was a genuine Unknown-level relic:
"But later people discovered that the mirror could not only display possibilities, but also select possibilities to a certain extent, making the future move closer to the selected 'destiny'. Although this does not mean creating 'inevitability', it is already a relic that greatly affects destiny."

Carina summed it up:
"The script is for writing fate, the spinning wheel is for weaving fate, and the kaleidoscope is for choosing fate. So, the bad luck that Claire encountered in the early hours of Wednesday morning was the result of the influence of these three relics?"

"That's most likely the case."

Shade nodded:
"I have also discussed this with Miss Reinhardt. According to the fragments of the poem Luvia gave me, the story produced by the combined effect of these three relics should be directly related to the ninth chosen one. Add to that the content revealed by the snake skin with miracle elements found at the bottom of the ice spring. Now we need to know what the story is."

Although he already had six special coins in his hand, at this time when the story just began, even Luvia's special divination could not predict such detailed things.

"The [Cult of Doom] has been confirmed as the actor in the story of the Chosen One. I don't know whether the [School of Blood Spirits] will personally participate or have others participate. At present, these three angel-level relics are temporarily out of our hands. My opinion is that even if we can't directly control the story, we should find some other fate-related relics, at least we can't really face all this empty-handed."

He did not let anyone else provide the relics:
"I still have this dice here, as well as another relic that has been damaged."

He got up and went to the living room, and took the [Twenty-Sided Dice of Destiny] and the damaged [Challenge of the Brave].

"Luvia, I remember you said that relics with similar functions have the ability to interfere with and devour each other?"

The fortune teller answered very cautiously:

"This is a relatively advanced topic in relic research. Even for the library management major in the academy, you have to go to a high level to get in touch with similar topics. If you put these two relics together now, it is indeed possible for them to merge with each other, but I still suggest that you go to Danister to ask for his opinion."

The beautiful red-haired Duchess asked Shade:
"You want to use your dice as the starting point for participating in the story of the Chosen One?"

"Yes, I won't deliberately influence fate. I just want to be able to deflect it when the so-called fate falls upon me."

Iluna, Luvia, and Carina all nodded. After Shade put away the relics, Iluna pretended to ask casually:

"Oh, Shade, by the way, I heard that the one you met this time was the Great Witch of the Sun?"

"Yes, Miss Reinhart is very easy to talk to and takes good care of me and Mia."

"Meow~"

"She can use the sun gun too, right?"

"Yes, but what she is best at is not the Supreme Golden Thunder, but the Light and Flame of Destruction."

Iluna pouted slightly, which was her way of showing dissatisfaction. Luvia and Carina could easily understand her thoughts, and the ladies watched their conversation with a smile.

"Ms. Reinhardt, can you also make a brooch that can release the 'Sunshine Gun'?"

Iluna asked again, and Carina gave a reply on behalf of Shade:

"Shad didn't make it clear just now. Claire is very good at storing her magic in gems and releasing it. Yes, all of it."

Under the table, Shad nudged Carina with his foot. This was not an appropriate thing to say now, but the Duchess was always rude to her "students".

Iluna seemed a little depressed, but she was always good at controlling her emotions. She glanced at Jialina first, then asked Shade:
"She's older than me, isn't she?"

"Well yes, you are only eighteen after all."

A bright smile appeared on the face of the 18-year-old girl, she shook her head and continued to eat dinner. Luvia noticed that the silver knife in Carina's hand had bent, so she smiled and gently touched Carina under the table, feeling that this family atmosphere was very interesting.

After dinner, the lazy cat didn't want to go out anymore, so Shade had to go to the Fatumonster Snow Mountain by himself. He left all the six special coins at home. When the story of the chosen one appeared, Luvia was considering whether to do a divination to find a breakthrough.

When he walked out of Victoria Street, the sky had turned dark blue, and March occupied a corner in the inky night sky. By the time he appeared at the gate of Kyle-Todd Town, the time was actually 6:55.

The lights in the Snow Mountain Hall were on tonight, and braziers were even lit in the towers around the "castle". The residents of the town knew that the elders were gathering for a meeting, and wondered if they were discussing this year's All Souls' Day.

Compared to the usual two people guarding the bridgehead, tonight there were six guards with torches and lanterns tied around their waists. Miss Reinhart was waiting at the bridgehead. When she saw Shade coming, she waved to him and then took his hand and walked inside:

"I thought you were going to be late. Come on, this is a big night."

After crossing the stone bridge, climbing the stairs and entering the huge foyer, he discovered that all the braziers and torches on the walls around the foyer were lit tonight. This even allowed Xia De to see clearly that there were murals on the walls that were pitch black even during the day.
