Whispering Poems

Chapter 717 Three Candidates
After leaving the Crow Club, Shad sent Iluna back to the local Church of the Sun, and then the melancholy outlander returned to Tobesk.

First, I went to Old John to customize the alchemy items for the sealing ceremony, and chatted with Father John about the latest news. The recent Tobesk was calm.It wasn't until it was dark outside that Xia De bid farewell to Papa John, took Mia the cat to dinner, and then waited for Luvia at seven o'clock in the evening.

After informing the purple-eyed girl of Joey Barton, the Truth Society, and [Founder·Death], the latter is almost certain that Iluna's view is completely correct, and that Joey Barton is the number one among the chosen ones of death. candidate.

"Why so sure?"

Shad is very interested in this.

"Xia De, haven't you found out yet? Every time [Vientiane Impermanence Card] appears, it means that the chosen one has appeared. You got [Original Balance] from the tree in the underground ruins of Tobesk, and Iluna just now A ceremony was held; you got [Initiation Darkness] from Queen Diana in the Yordle Palace, and Darkness immediately went there to steal the hilt of the Dark Sword."

Luvia concluded, Shade hesitated, and pointed to the bedroom that originally belonged to Detective Sparrow, which he has not used so far:
"But when I got [Founding Silver Moon] in the master bedroom over there, the chosen one didn't show up. There were two people present at the time, and Detective Sparrow died, so I'm the only one left. I'm from the moon. The Chosen One?"

"Of course not!"

Luvia immediately shook her head:
"Anyone can be the chosen one, but you are the only one who can't. Therefore, calculating the chosen one based on the appearance of the Vientiane Impermanence card can only be regarded as a rough calculation method. In the end, I still have to do divination to determine the answer."

While talking, she picked up the six coins, thought for a while, and handed a blood money to Xia De:

"You take this and wait to find other coins."

So she still had five coins left in her hand, but after thinking about it, she picked out the 【Seer's Silver Coin】.This silver coin is not only given to Iluna by the church, but also very useful to fortune tellers, so it can be saved.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, two blood coins, one [Dragon Blood Money] and one [Standing Coin] were thrown into the air.And as the coins reached their apex, they finally managed to get large patches of rust on their surfaces.

As it fell, the rust marks on the surface of the coin became more and more serious.Before finally falling, it turned into dust and disappeared.

"Meow~"

The cat with its head up is very interested.

"It's okay this time."

Luvia opened her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and purple light flashed in her eyes:

"The chosen one is Joey Barton."

Xia De let out a long breath:

"Very good, very good, I have been busy for half an autumn, and this matter is finally coming to an end."

As he spoke, he pulled the squatting cat into his arms with a smile on his face, held it with his left hand, and quickly stroked its small head with his right hand.The orange-and-white cat squinted and purred in its throat, and didn't seem unhappy.

Luvia was also in a good mood, and was amused by this scene:
"Xia De, don't worry, because we have obtained a lot of information outside of divination, so we have obtained more information from this divination. The three candidates you provided are all candidates for the chosen one, yes, all of them."

"They are all? What about the order?"

This is the key.

Luvia paused for a moment to organize the wording:
"It seems that Joy Barton, the [Rebel] of the Truth Society, is the first pick, and the [Fire-holding Nun] Sister Divelin of the Spiritual Order is the second pick. Our friend, it seems ordinary Priest Rat Augustus of the Church of Dawn is the third pick. In addition...according to my divination, you also met a candidate with a lower pick today, but I don’t know who it is.”

"It's so complicated this time?"

Xia De nodded suspiciously, then shook his head again:

"The later people don't think about it. The further back the pick is, the weaker the talent of the candidate will be. And unless the above three die, the latter will have no chance. I really didn't expect that all three of them are. "

The current situation is more complicated than when Ivan Darkness appeared. For Darkness, Shad only needs to consider how to get rid of him.But for Joey Barton, Shad still couldn't make up his mind how to treat him.

According to the information Sister Devlin had collected, Joy Barton was a very nice person.It's not a faux pas, it's the truth.And the other party, there is a high probability that it is a person from the [Truth Society], or someone who is sponsored by the [Truth Society].

Luvia also thought of this question, but she looked at it very openly:

"Xia De, try to contact Joey Barton next week and try him out. If you are sure that the other party has no possibility of cooperating with us, then give up this chosen one and let Iluna tell the church directly."

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes."

The girl with purple eyes nodded with a serious expression:
"I just want to witness the thirteen chosen ones and finally open that door. But I will not murder innocent people because of this, just like you would not murder him to get that [Creation·Death]. Of course I really hope that our friend Priest Augustus will get this status, but let’s not talk about Joy Barton, Shade, would you murder the second Sister Daveline because of this?”

Xia De immediately shook his head,

This is not only a matter of morality, but also because the nun is a genuine eleven-ring ring, and she has more than one angel-level relic on her body. Xia De even thinks that the twelve rings may not be able to beat her.

"So, go see Joey Barton again next week. He's a good guy. We'll find a way to cooperate with him, but it's only a limited cooperation. After all, the other party is not resident in Tobesk. If he's a bad guy, report him. Xia De, your mission at Fort Midhill is almost complete."

Luvia leaned back on the sofa quite relaxed:

"By handing things over to the church, we don't need to divination the Chosen Ceremony, we don't need to chase someone, and we don't need to find someone. The next step is to wait quietly, waiting for the Chosen Ceremony to be completed."

"Is this... the end?"

Xia De hesitated.

"What else do you expect?"

The female fortune teller asked, thought for a while and said:
"Yes, the narrow problem has not been resolved. But Shade, that's not your responsibility."

Of course, the outsider doesn't think it's his responsibility to resolve the issue between life and death. He just thinks that it's absolutely impossible for this matter to end so easily.

"However, I can indeed rest for a while."

In his mind, he said, he planned to rest until Monday.On Monday, he had made an appointment with Granny Cassandra to witness the "teacher" ceremony.

"Speaking of which, the detective agency has been out of business for half a month. Besides, I plan to deal with the problem on the third floor recently. The materials have to be bought in Lengshuigang, and the customized precious metal ring from Papa John will have to wait for a few days. Got it. Things are coming to an end in Boro, but there's a lot going on at Tobesk's house."

He pointed upstairs.

"The autumn astrology activities of the Astronomy Academy are coming to an end. The star sea whales will appear within ten to fifteen days. The Astronomy Academy regards the appearance of those creatures that can penetrate the space wall as the end of the autumn astrology activities."

Luvia said, looking at the cat held by Shad, inexplicably remembered that Shad mentioned just now that Joey Barton temporarily lost his eyes for a moment after looking at the cat.

"But this cat is...normal."

The gas lamps on the walls illuminate the homes of outsiders in this world.The purple-eyed girl who has a relationship with the owner of the house squints her eyes while holding a teacup, thinking about the past and the future.The cat raised by the owner lay on his lap, feeling sleepy because of the comfortable life. Even under the light of night, the orange fur had the luster of the sun.

As for Shad, he was sitting in the middle of the couch, tilting his head and looking at the reflection of the room on the window, thinking about the coming end of Midhill Castle.Suddenly, he saw a red butterfly flying past the window, but when he blinked again, he couldn't see anything.

[Sixth Epoch 1853, Moon of Dead Leaves, late autumn.Time that never stops has brought you to this moment, but those mysteries have yet to be answered.The blood-sucking race, the twin red butterflies, the nun holding the fire, and the one who was chosen by fate to die.Outlander, the story of Fort Midhill is coming to an end, have you spent most of the autumn here, have you seen through the coming ending?Death is shaking, and ancient and primal forces are about to break free.After the big screen, all the actors are already in place.When the curtain of the mountain city is opened, you who are watching this scene under the stage, do you want to change the ending of this disaster? 】

The whispering sound in his ear almost made Xia De feel that "she" was right behind him.

Xia De smiled, looking at himself reflected in the window:

"Change? You mean, I want to use my divine power to stop all of this?"

Gently touching Mia's small ears with her fingers, Mia, who rested her head on her two furry front paws, let out a soft cry.

[Outlander, we will witness the next story together.The original end may swallow the city of mountains, but the courage and wisdom of mortals may also save it all.Sitting under the elusive stage of fate, do you want to pursue the red butterfly that is about to go away, or follow the guidance of the original flame?Everyone is mortal, and everything is mortal. Maybe the answer waiting for you is a tragedy that spans years and time. 】

"She" was chuckling, Xia De leaned on the back of the sofa, raised his left hand, and touched the corner of his mouth with his thumb:
"Are you trying to say that Miburg's ending won't be too good? No, no, it's not yet time to draw conclusions, but I don't think it will be far away."

Fingers knocked on the sofa cushion unconsciously, and the clicking sound of the clock in the corner was especially clear at this moment.Time is moving forward, and all Xia De can do is wait.

"Oh, and the Gaddis library thing."

Thinking of Miss Olan Nord, he seemed to see the yellow moon again.Under the gaze of Luvia and Mia, he raised his right hand slightly, and in the palm of his hand, a phantom of a small yellow moon was floating in it,

This is not thaumaturgy or incantation, just a small application of moonlight:

"May the moon bless me."

　PS: Remember, in addition to Joey Barton, the nun, and Priest Augustus, there is at least one candidate whose name is mentioned in Middlesbrough, and it is assumed to be the fourth overall pick by default.This is very important.
