Whispering Poems

Chapter 689 The twins who are about to meet again

"The priest, when does the church plan to start that ceremony?"

"Next week or the next week, it will be within the month of dead leaves. After all, the narrow space will soon be unable to hold on."

The last earthquake weakened Shade's "Tree Kiss" mytho a lot, and the outbreak of death is indeed not far away.

"In addition, I heard uncertain news that the Church of Nature has invited a 'Sister Thorn' from the Holy See."

the priest lowered his voice

"Sister Thorn?"

This is the most surprising news tonight, because "Sister Thorn" represents the God's descendant possessed by the Church of Nature.She was the purest girl raised by the Church of Nature since she was a child.They are aware of their responsibilities and regard it as an honor.

In other words, these are fanatics who have the aptitude for descending from the gods, and it is quite an obvious signal that the church mobilizes them.

"Nature Will Think"

Shad pointed to the sky.

"I don't know anything, probably prepared for the worst."

Priest Augustus shook his head cautiously, and looked at the fire in front of him with Shad:

"But detective, everyone is very cautious about this matter, yes, very cautious. I have seen, I have seen what happens when death breaks out and the end of the day comes."

The bonfire crackled, and Shad narrowed his eyes:

"What will happen?"

"That was terrible. The black sun fell, and the white mist in the narrow space turned into black mist to cover the area. The world of the living and the dead were completely mixed together, and even time and space would be confused. Everything fell into an eternal cycle. In the end, the map of the Old Continent may be missing a piece from now on."

Priest Augustus also had his own affairs at this charity banquet, so he left without chatting with Shad for long.

After he and Xia De said goodbye temporarily, the time was almost at 08:30.Clusters of bonfires danced in the courtyard of the college, and people gathered in the distance. It seemed that this grand autumn banquet had officially begun. Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and local city hall officials who sponsored the Fire Worship Festival banquet were speaking.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very good, but Xia De didn't join in the fun and listen to other people's speeches.He estimated that the witches were coming soon, so he temporarily gave up his plan to play Rhodes Cards. Instead, he tidied up his clothes, and then walked slowly to the entrance of the courtyard facing the castle of the Mibao Mechanical Academy. Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora meet.

Because they hate men, the two witches will not take the initiative to participate in the banquet, but plan to take the opportunity of this banquet to finalize some cooperation regulations with business partners.

The three of them met in the separate lounge next to the auditorium on the first floor on the east side of the castle. Miss Aurora, whom they hadn't seen for more than a month, was still so elegant and beautiful.The witch with long curly brown hair was also very happy to see Shad. After letting him sit on the sofa, she ordered the accompanying maid to pour tea and go to the kitchen to bring some snacks.

"I haven't been to Castle Midhill for several years. The autumn here is very good, especially the season of falling leaves. I still remember the last time I went hunting here and saw dead leaves all over the ground and swirling leaves. The falling yellow leaves are very artistic."

The gas lamps in the room were very bright, and the servants of Miss Aurora and Granny Cassandra stood behind the two witches.Outside the window is a courtyard with clusters of bonfires burning. Although the room is a little quiet, you can still feel the atmosphere of the Fire Worship Festival banquet.

Xia De suddenly thought of the nun holding the fire, and wondered whether the Fire Worship Festival had special meaning to her.

"Miss Aurora, you already know about the passage on the mountainside, right?"

"Understood, you did a good job."

She also guessed that Xia De provided information to Miss Galina:
"Grandma Cassandra and I will check tomorrow, so you don't have to go with us, but if you want to know the progress of the matter, you can come to us the day after tomorrow."

"no problem."

Xia De nodded:
"I don't need to go with you for such a dangerous thing. But since the passage is in the narrow room, how do you plan to enter the narrow room after you go to the real mountainside cave to check? It is also to find the entrance that appears by chance, and then use the ritual to fix the entrance ?"

"That's the method of ring warlocks."

Grandma Cassandra shook her head:
"Witches have a witch's way. We will first enter the Dreamland, and then go straight from the Dreamland to the Narrows."

"Dreamland" refers to a strange world where plausible dreams and phantoms are intertwined, but similar to Hazama, it is not a real world.At the end of the night banquet at the lake view manor in summer, Luvia went to the dreamland, observed the manor from the perspective of the dreamland, and pulled out the most critical node of the god-calling ceremony.

"If possible, I hope that you can take me with you when you enter the dreamland. I have experience in the past, and I can help. Moreover, I also want to go to the narrow room again. Someone entrusted me to pick some plants. "

This is "big business" for Mr. Copps of Tobesk.

"No problem, Galina praised you, and you entered the narrow room last time, it will indeed help us."

Granny Cassandra nodded, and Miss Aurora raised her eyebrows. She didn't know what Shad had done in this city.

"In addition, the scabbard is here. When the banquet is about to end, you can take it from me, as well as the information of [Sin Mansion]."

The old witch asked the maid behind her to hand Xia De a few pages:
"Location-type relics are generally sage-level (level 2) or higher, but [Sin Mansion] is a rare keeper-level (level 3) relic. It is more like a trading location, and you will understand it when you read the information. [Sin Mansion] randomly appears in the material world every 66 years, attracting sinners to enter. But everyone has original sin, so in theory, any intelligent creature is its target."

Xia De looked down at the papers:

"The Mansion of Sins is a place to pay for your own sins? The severity of your sins will determine what you will encounter inside the relic. The more you bear the sins, the easier it is to die inside, but the more you bear the sins, the more you can use the sins you peeled off In exchange for the power of the sin mansion."

"As long as you haven't done too many wrong things, [Sin Mansion] is not dangerous to you. Moreover, it's safer to enter alone than multiple people, because you can't know exactly what your companions have done."

Grandma Cassandra explained.

"Is this the relic that appeared in Mount Xikar?"

Miss Aurora was very curious, and with her right index finger, she was picking at the curly hair by her ear.

"Yes, because the turmoil in the narrow space has caused the elements in the nearby area to be chaotic, which has led to a significant increase in the number of relics in the Xical Mountain area and this city in the recent period."

The old witch nodded.

"I'll go in alone tomorrow to have a look. If it's just the Keeper class, I think I can handle it."

Xia De put away those materials, and Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora did not stop him.

Xia De thought for a while and asked again:
"Speaking of it, mother-in-law, you said some time ago that you would invite me to attend your teacher's ceremony, which is the ceremony once every 22 years. I don't know what your teacher's name is."

He deliberately asked in front of Miss Aurora, and all the witches should know this information.

"The name of the teacher, she has two common names."

Grandma Cassandra didn't seem surprised by Shad's question:

"Helen Black, and Grace White."

"It's really them"

The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled, and the images of the twin girls appeared in front of him almost immediately.

"Also, some time ago, I entrusted you to come to this castle to find the lost bronze pot. In fact, the teacher arranged for me to let you do it."

Grandma Cassandra added:
"The teacher is a lecturer in the history department of this college. She wants to meet you quietly, so let me arrange for you to come to the college."

The tasks of the witches always have a different purpose.And Miss Aurora frowned slightly, she didn't know the story between Xia De and the twins, she only knew that Xia De had a relationship with the beautiful "young" girl again.

"Well, shall I have the honor of seeing Miss Black now?"

Xia De asked, the old witch smiled and shook her head:
"The teacher is busy with that crucial ceremony, which cannot go wrong. However, if you want to see her, follow me up the mountain next Monday, and the ceremony will begin."

Xia De didn't say anything else, he just lamented that after a long time, he finally saw them again.

[At that time, they were only 14 years old. 】

"She" reminded softly.

"I know, well, who do you think I am?"

Xia De immediately retorted in his heart:
"I was just thinking, regardless of whether it was Helen or Grace who commissioned Detective Sparrow, since it was such a coincidence that he chose the Hamilton Detective Agency, I don't believe her or her, and I haven't seen me before "waking up" .”

【So, you want】

"I want to know, in the eyes of the twins, what kind of person was that Shade with an abnormal head in the past. Although St. Byrence said that the past of the original owner of this body is not a problem, I always feel that the past will not be that simple .”

【yes? 】

She was chuckling like a breeze in her ears.For some reason, Xia De remembered the huge moon disk above the endless wilderness in his dream.

Divine and beautiful, with secrets, so charming.

【Are you talking about the moon, or me? 】

Shad didn't answer, but they both knew the answer.
