Whispering Verse

Chapter 689: stolen sword

After talking about the gossip, I officially started talking about the topic of the chosen one. This is also the main purpose of Miss Aurora's coming here:

"No target has been locked yet, except for the fragments of poems that Galina obtained from Tobesk. At present, the council only knows that the ceremony of death of the chosen ones is closely related to the narrow space and the three passages. So finding even Mastering a channel is also very useful for us to find the chosen one."

"I heard from Miss Galina that the Truth Society has already entered Fort Midhill? This time, will it attract a large number of foreign ring magicians like Coldwater Harbor?"

Xia De asked Miss Aurora, who shook her head:

"The news of the church's blockade this time is very good. Coupled with the cover of the death incident, there are very few organizations that know the news that the third chosen one will appear in this city. But it also relaxes our vigilance. Those lunatics don't know what to do."

The "Truth Society" is characterized by conducting illegal and taboo knowledge research, pursuing "truth" to obtain more powerful knowledge. There are similar lunatics in every era, so the "Truth Society" is also an organization that has passed down at least two eras. Two months ago, the guy Shad and Priest Augustus met in the Tobesk cemetery who tried to fuse the relics with their bodies was a member of the Truth Society, and people from the Truth Society also appeared in the dark field, but still Millwood Forest, which had not had time to enter the core area, was defeated by provoking the Prophet Association by mistake. .

"Then the only enemy this time is the Truth Society? Does the opponent have thirteen-ring magicians? How many people are there?"

"This is not critical."

Grandma Cassandra shook her head:

"The three major thaumaturgy academies also sent people to the local area on the grounds of 'helping the church hold the ceremony to seal the gap'. Although the Truth Society has more lunatics, it is not as powerful as the Blood Spirit School you have encountered before. The contemporary leaders of the Order of Truth are Warlocks of the Twelve Rings, who are only notorious for harnessing the power of relics."

"Does the academy know who the chosen ones are now?"

"I probably don't know yet, at least that's what your Excellency the Speaker thinks."

Miss Aurora said, glanced at the bonfire outside the window again, and suddenly invited:

"Xia De, the atmosphere is really good tonight. Let's go dancing together later?"

"Huh? What? Oh, okay."

Xia De didn't quite understand how the topic jumped here.

"In addition, the vampires in this city seem to be planning something."

Xia De took out the blood brew he bought just now, but the witches didn't care about it as much as Xia De did. Granny Cassandra lived in this city all year round, and it wasn't the first day that vampires peddled forbidden blood brew, so this matter wasn't important.

The witches still had to discuss business, so Xia De didn't stay with them for too long. Leaving the waiting room, calculating that it was almost time for the auction, because he was thinking about the special rule card, Xia De wanted to join in the fun.

But looking towards the courtyard from the corridor, planning to take a breath of fresh air, while waiting for the auction to start, I saw Iluna.

Although she only arrived this afternoon, the trip on the steam airship was not tiring, so it is indeed possible for her to appear at this night banquet. But she didn't stop, instead, she walked toward the periphery of the bonfire, towards the forest behind the college.

"What is Iruna going to do?"

After confirming that he was not mistaken, Xia De quickly left the castle and returned to the courtyard, then followed.

No matter what Iluna wants to do, Shad will go and see.

The castle of the Mechanical College at Fort Midhill was originally the base camp of the West Carl Mountain Garrison hundreds of years ago, so the castle is next to the mountain forest, and the forest behind the castle is the private property of the college. Young students also like the night I have a private meeting here.

When Xia De came to the edge of the forest that was not illuminated by the fire of the courtyard bonfire, Iluna's figure had already disappeared, but he only walked a few hundred steps into the forest before seeing the faint light ahead. Going forward, I saw two people facing each other in the dark woodland.

One is Iluna, and the other is a brown-skinned man wearing round glasses that I have never seen before, and there is a snake-like tattoo on the back of his hand. The two sides are obviously in a hostile relationship, and it seems that they will do it in the next second.

He took out the mask and put it on his face, and at the same time as the fourth and fifth life rings behind the opposing sides appeared, Xia De took out the prepared spell-casting materials.

"Sunshine Gun!"

A golden thunder appeared in Iluna's hand, and on the life ring behind the five-ring warlock, the enlightenment rune [Hound] suddenly lit up. With the flickering of the spiritual light, a ferocious hound with three heads actually jumped out of his life ring.

The hound was covered in black smoke and covered in bone spurs and abscesses.

"Similar to Dorothy and Rezia, this is a ring magician who is good at stories and the power of fairy tales!"

Xia De made a judgment immediately.

The hound with a huge body blocked the sun gun thrown by Iluna in the air, and was directly hit by the sun gun, half of his body was vaporized. The man with the fifth ring was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the young girl opposite him, who was one ring lower than him, was able to carry out such a powerful attack:

"What do you have against me?"

As he spoke, he called out a hound again, and at the same time reached into his pocket, obviously looking for something.

"You are a member of the Truth Society, that's enough."

Iluna said in a deep voice, Xia De just remembered that Iluna once said that she not only had a grudge against [Blood of Mercury], but also had a grudge against [Truth Society].

"However, I haven't met the Truth Society in Midhill Fort for so long, and Iluna actually met it on the first day of her arrival. Is this the fate of the chosen ones?"

The sound of thunder appeared in Iluna's hands again, and the golden spear took shape in her hands and was held by her. It was the first time that Xia De saw that the "Sunshine Gun" was not thrown immediately after it took shape, so he guessed whether the "Sunshine Gun" could be regarded as a spiritual weapon similar to the "Moonlight Great Sword" and "Deathbringer's Scythe".

The three-headed dog that was summoned again opened its three mouths at the same time, spit out poisonous mist, fire and cold air towards Iluna respectively. But they were too slow in accumulating power and exhaling. Iluna jumped high to avoid the fan-shaped attack range, and then threw the sunshine gun at the three-headed dog's summoner in the air.

In order not to attract too much attention, she obviously didn't use her full strength. But if this is the case, once this blow hits, without unique defensive skills, the opponent will definitely be dead.

But the man's hand, which was in his pocket, stretched out to the sky at this moment. He has an extra hand-held vanity mirror in his hand. From the appearance, it is very similar to the [Death Mirror] that Xia De once owned, but the mirror frame is smaller and the handle is shorter.

The mirror shot towards Iluna's sunshine gun like a racket, and the two collided head-on, and then the golden thunder gun was directly sucked in by the mirror.

Iluna, who jumped high, didn't panic at all. After she landed steadily, she dodged the three-headed dog's paw with a roll, and then collided with the dog's paw again with her fist that was shining with hot golden light. :

"Sun Fist!"

The man behind the three-headed dog twirled his bronze ring, held the mirror in one hand, and began to chant a spell. The enlightenment rune [Ghoul] on the life ring behind his back began to flicker, but he turned around suddenly after chanting the mantra halfway.

Clang!

The relic mirror in his hand supported Xia De's moonlight sword, and the moonlight on the two-handed sword also illuminated the mask on Xia De's face:

"Who are you? I'm just here to participate in the auction. What do you guys want to do? This is too much!"

The man complained loudly, and suddenly raised his hand to block the big sword in Xia De's hand. While Xia De was silently slashing at him again, he suddenly opened his right eye wide.

Originally, both eyes were the same brown color, but at this moment, a blue halo spread rapidly in the left eye. Xia De, who was wielding the Moonlight Great Sword, only felt that the sword in his hand was suddenly frozen in space, and it was motionless, even the additional effect of [Sword of Disordered Time] was erased.

"Magic eye!"

Feeling vigilant, he backed away abruptly, but the [Moonlight Great Sword] that was frozen in the space after he let go of his hand still did not disappear, which did not conform to the rules of this thaumaturgy.

The Warlock of Five Rings still held the makeup mirror that had absorbed the sunlight gun in his right hand, then reached out his empty left hand, and "plucked" the Moonlight Great Sword from the space and held it in his own hand. Xia De was surprised and wanted to call out a sword again, but found that the thaumaturgy of [Moonlight Great Sword] didn't work:

"What kind of magic eye is this?"

The mirror swung like a racket again, and as the surface glowed golden, guns of absorbed sunlight shot out of the mirror.

"Ragley's Jump!"

Xia De's figure disappeared into the darkness of the dense forest, and at the same time Iluna had killed the three-headed dog again. Of course she saw the brief fight between Shade wearing the mask and the Ring Warlock of the [Truth Society], so she didn't make a melee attack, but condensed her hands into a golden spear at the same time:

"Sunshine Gun!"

Two sun guns were shot out at the same time, and the five-ring warlock held a mirror in one hand and a sword in the other. The mirror held high absorbed one of the guns, while the great sword in his right hand shattered the other gun.

"You got Fooled!"

A black vortex suddenly appeared in front of him, and Iluna's hand stretched out from it, directly grabbed the mirror.

At the same time, the bright crossed moonlight flew out from behind the man, and Xia De in the dense forest kicked out the strongest form of [Moonlight Slash] frozen in the air.

The big sword in the right hand slashed at Iluna's hand, forcing Iluna, who hadn't grasped the mirror firmly, to retract her hand. And when Xia De's moonlight slash was about to hit his back, a terrifying ghoul sprang from the [Ghoul] spirit rune on the life ring. When the ghoul was neatly divided into four, the man leaned on Lie on the ground to escape the moonlight slash:

"Let me think about it, are you a survivor of Singh's village incident? Or are you a collateral relative of the family that was turned into half-human, half-dog during the Keystone dog barking incident?"

No one answered him. Iluna, who was not far from the man, saw the crossed moonlight flying towards her, and hurriedly dodged to one side. The crossed moonlight hit the big tree behind her and stopped.

"What about the rest of the church?"

Xia De held his throat and asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ I attended this banquet in my private capacity, I don't know if other ring magicians from the church also came... What is the weakness of the Moonlight Great Sword? "

Xia De and Iluna surrounded each other one after the other, and the man also stood up, looking at the two with ugly expressions.

Xia De answered confidently:

"Except for not being able to leave the hand, there are no shortcomings. But don't worry, although his magic eye has robbed me of my thaumaturgy effect, the power of the sword in his hand has also become smaller."

It's a pity that the newly purchased [Night Watchman's Long Sword] was inconvenient so he didn't bring it with him, otherwise Xia De would have dared to continue fighting in close quarters.

"but......"

Xia De looked up over the branches, looked at the three moons in the sky, and had a bold idea in his heart:

"May the moon be with me."
