Whispering Verse

Chapter 131: Ancient God【The Hanging Judge】

Hearing the name "Vientiane Impermanence", Xia De inexplicably had some special feelings. Looking down at the woman sitting on the high stool, holding up the face of the moon.

"Su Lun...Silver Moon."

He whispered, and then felt that the miracle factor was actually increasing.

Miss Anat on the opposite side looked at him in surprise:

"What did you say? Sullen? Isn't that your middle name?"

"Nothing, just lamenting the wonderful fate between myself and Yinyue."

Xia De said, and asked Miss Anat:

"So the Prophet Association doesn't know what these cards are really used for?"

"Yes, but the association at least created Rhodes cards based on these cards. The gold pounds earned by the association in the past few hundred years are more than the rest of the entire Sixth Era combined."

Miss Anat said, and then became interested in Mia who was lying next to Shad, but the lazy cat was not interested in her.

"The thirteen ancient gods, the thirteen witch emperors, and the thirteen chosen ones, is there any connection between them?"

Miss Anat smiled:

"Good question, detective, you are very perceptive. To be precise, it really shouldn't be a coincidence. There is clear evidence that the thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era have something in common with the chosen ones of the sixth era, but There are differences. The biggest similarity is that they all possess the power of the ancient gods. You can understand that they are all human beings favored by the fallen ancient gods. But why this is so, I cannot explain.

The ancient gods are the oldest and most mysterious gods, and their affairs are probably only known to those organizations that inherit the ancients. "

"Then, will the Witch Council know these secrets?"

Xia De asked again while stroking Mia's back, the cat glanced at him, and Miss Anat was taken aback:

"Do you still know about the Witch Council? The ancient gods may have heard about it from the professor of the history school, but who told you about the Witch Council? The Witch Council is very mysterious, and its members are all sorceresses. You know the names, they Inheriting the power of the last thirteen witch emperors of the Fifth Epoch, the thirteen most powerful witch emperors in the council corresponded accordingly."

"Is it really related to those witches in the fifth era? But the witch emperor, it was already 1,500 years ago."

Xia De was very surprised. He thought that the other party just wanted to get a nice name, or was just lucky to get relics related to the witch emperors.

"Those big witches in the Witch Council were all promoted to the high ring at a very young age. One or two can be considered a coincidence, but all thirteen great witches in the past have been like this, so it is hard not to doubt that they are It doesn’t really inherit the power from the previous era. Maybe it’s a special way of inauguration, so it can be upgraded quickly. But only the thirteen great witches have such power, and the other sorceresses in the council are pretty normal.”

When Miss Anat talked about this organization, her tone was a little unnatural.

"Are you also a member of the Witch Council?"

Shad asked.

"Detective, what nonsense are you talking about. Just dealt with them, and it was a bad experience."

asked the female fortune-teller, leaning on the sofa and wiggling her fingers.

"The Witch Council is also a wanted illegal organization?"

Xia De suspected that the Duchess Galina Cavendish was the Great Witch of the Witch Council. In this way, all the news he heard while wandering around Lakeview Manor were found to correspond.

He is almost certain of this guess.

"This organization... is very complicated, it is difficult to define good and bad, and the church is only hostile to a few of them, not the entire organization. But unlike lunatics like [Blood Spirit School], they are only keen on the first The relics and books related to the last thirteen great witches of the Five Era were sold, and the rest of the time was relatively safe.

The thirteen most powerful members of the council are all sorceresses with ten rings and above, and even one of the most powerful witches has the power of thirteen rings. Compared with the Witch Council, there is no need to compare an organization like [Blood of Mercury]. But the Witch Council itself is not united. The thirteen great witches all have their own forces. Those women, hmph, although they won't kill each other, they are very good at fighting among themselves. "

"Speaking of which, they must also understand "Whispering Verses."

This is an affirmative sentence.

"Of course, apart from churches and colleges, they must know best."

Shad nodded, and Miss Galina promised to reveal her identity to him if he won the weekend's poker game. At that time, maybe we can learn some secrets from the duchess.

"But when she saw the Genesis Silver Moon, she didn't seem to react at all. The Witch Council doesn't know the secret of the Rhodes card? Or is it acting?"

He thought to himself, and Miss Anat wanted to hug the cat that was lying on the coffee table, but Mia pushed her hand away with her small paws. The tea table is cooler than the sofa, and the petite cat is unwilling to leave.

Entering July, commonly known as the Thunder Moon, the weather seems to heat up in no time. Thinking that there is no air conditioner or fan in this world, foreigners feel a little uneasy about the hotter days to come.

"Detective, since the founder Silver Moon chose you, there must be a reason. Although you are outside of fate, you obviously cannot survive the chaotic era alone."

Miss Anat made a summary of the conversation, as if intending to end the visit, but Xia De's next sentence made her sit down again:

"By the way, I saw Miss Bayarth yesterday."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Tell me carefully."

Miss Anat gave up teasing the lazy orange cat, and listened intently to Xia De's story of yesterday, and raised her eyebrows when she heard "Sunshine Gun":

"Iluna Bayas didn't want any credit for doing this. According to my preliminary investigation, she had a conflict with [Blood of Mercury], which was before she was transferred from the Holy See of the Church of the Sun to Tobesk Things. Some time ago, she had a fortune-telling with me about whether the things she had done recently were going well, and it turned out to be this.

What you did yesterday is completely fine, don't reveal your identity as a Ring Warlock, and don't get involved in anything by Iluna Bayas. On my side, I will speed up the contact with her, and strive to make her the real chosen one as soon as possible. "

"Sorry, what does that mean? She's not the chosen one yet?"

Xia De looked at her and asked in surprise, he liked the color of Miss Anat's eyes very much.

"The power of the chosen one is not only what she shows now. There is something to be truly chosen. The biggest performance is that she can turn her life ring into a weapon. According to my divination,【Balance 】The corresponding selected person should be able to turn the ring of life into a golden balance in the end."

Xia De tilted his head and imagined the scene:

"Since there can be a metal ring behind the ring warlock, it doesn't seem very strange to have a metal balance."

"Now that she has only touched the edge of the power of the chosen one, she can suppress the four-ring warlock to a certain extent, and even use the miracle of [Sunshine Gun] beyond her own level, but this is not the real power of the chosen one."

Miss Anat shook her head:

"The method of becoming the Chosen One is very cumbersome. I don't think even the Church of the Sun may know about it. The possibility that they will find that part of the "Whispering Verses" by chance is very low."

"What is the method?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Miss Anat did not hide it. She holds up a finger:

"Three needs.

First of all, you need to obtain a relic with the power of the corresponding ancient god. The range of relics here is very wide. It can be a [relic], a statue or a damaged holy emblem, or even an ancient temple in the wilderness. Must have the power of the ancient gods. The ancient **** representing the balance of power is called the "Hanging Judge" by mortals. "

The card face of [Foundation·Balance] is the image of a man hanging upside down under a tree.

"This type of relic should be hard to find."

Xia De commented, but if it is a relic of the ancient **** of time, it is too easy to find.

"But I already have clues here, and the Church of the Sun probably can think of something similar, so it's not difficult."

She raised a second finger:

"Secondly, the selected person must have a deep understanding of the meaning of the qualifications of the selected person."

"This can only be understood by Miss Bayas herself, and we can't help."

Xia De said again.

Finally put up the third finger:

"The last and most difficult thing is that the chosen person needs to complete a ceremony. The ceremony does not require any materials, it only needs to do something. This ceremony should be in a certain part of the poem. I am trying my best to divination, but because of the need to pay The cost is too high and there is little progress at the moment."

"May I inquire, what is the price you paid?"

Xia De asked, Miss Anat shook her head, her short brown hair swaying behind her head:

"It's not convenient to disclose at the moment, wait until you are promoted to the second ring, I will tell you then. In short, I will deal with these matters, and you still need to gain power as soon as possible. The epic composed of thirteen selected people is only now We've just started, and I think we've got a lot of time left."

She sighed, her expression a little sad for a moment. Xia De didn't know what to say, so he continued the black tea for Miss Anat.

Before the fortune-teller left, he thought of the closed first floor, and offered to help Xia De with a fortune-telling about the house. Of course, it's just ordinary divination.

She carried a pendulum crystal for divination on her body, and borrowed a water basin from Xia De. After working for a while, she sat in front of the water basin and let the purple crystal float above the water.

Miss Anat can probably see some pictures from the water, and then use the different perspectives of the "other me" to perform divination, but Xia De can't see anything.

"No results, or in other words, everything is normal here."

Miss Anat took a long time to speak, and explained her reasons for saying this:

"I saw your house in the mist, and a curtain blocked it, but the house itself did not reveal any strange colors. This shows that even if there is a problem here, it will not be related to mysterious factors. Of course, it may be There is a problem with my divination. After all, I am only a three-ring warlock. However, when you report to the Church of Dawn to use other locations in the house~lightnovelpub.net~, they will come to check again. The church’s inspection should be more accurate than my divination. reliable."

As she said this, she put away her purple crystal pendant, and Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can finally use the bedroom where Detective Sparrow died with peace of mind.

"Detective, I'll leave you my address. If you have anything to do, you can contact me at any time. Be careful recently."

The fortune teller said, Xia De opened the door to send her downstairs, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Miss Anat, you should also be careful. If there is really a major danger that cannot be solved, such as evil gods, unknowable relics, etc., you can come to me and use me as a last resort... Lake The power of Jing Manor can be used again."

He really regarded Miss Anat as a friend, and he admired Miss Bayarth's kind of people. Although he is reluctant to part with divinity, he will not be stingy if necessary. After all, it is still a long way from the promotion of the first ring to the second ring.

"Xia De, don't underestimate the power of the ladies. You are not the only one with secrets."

Miss Anat said, with a smile in her purple eyes, this was the first time she called Shad by his name.
