Whispering Verse

Chapter 978: dice and words

"This is an ordinary night in winter. When the night falls, the people on Silver Cross Avenue don't know what will happen tonight. And the protagonists of the story-[The Stalker in the Night] Qiao Geli Diu Si, [Ms. Glamor] Lydia Pengellow. [Mortal Luck] Shade Hamilton, in a trance, realized that the gears of fate are turning at this moment."

A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, and the people at the table subconsciously approached the light source. The three people under the light saw small puppets representing the three story characters appearing on the wooden block scene on the table, and the positions of those puppets were also exactly This is where the three of Xia De should be now.

I don't know who sighed in the dark:

"The thief of Tobesk is the goal of the three of them tonight. No one knows why they are so obsessed with the thief, but they are all determined to use the thief to prove their glory. Hearing the fall of the dice in a trance, it seems that the People who wake up from the big dream decide to do something.

So, what do the three want to do now? "

In the darkness where no one was paying attention, Adelina, who was hiding behind her sister, felt Rezia focus on her, but then returned to normal.

The red butterfly pendant strengthens the connection between the two ladies. Rezia on the [Fishbone Pirate Ship] cannot be interchanged with Dorothy, but now they are both five rings.

In the living room on the second floor of No. 6 Place Sainte-Terrain with gas lamps on, Dorothy, who was reading a book while stroking Mia, suddenly closed her eyes. When Mia raised her head curiously, Rezia's soul had manipulated the body to open its eyes.

"Miya, it seems that we must go to Xia De's side now, at least let him know what happened."

She stood up with a sigh, and reached for the [Night Watchman] by the fireplace. The cat with its big eyes blinked, and unexpectedly stood up from its prone position.

On the second floor of the Prophet Association, in the divination room that was supposed to be unused, Shad, who had just declared "go to the bathroom", was talking to Luvia.

The moonlight illuminated the profile of his face, Xia De was startled suddenly:

"It's really strange. Half a minute ago, some kind of wonderful power tried to make me suddenly forget that I noticed that Iluna was fighting with people outside, as if Iluna had fallen into something similar to the 'dark realm', which would make people forget special space."

He frowned and said to the purple-eyed girl:

"And now, as if invisible threads were manipulating my mind and body, I had a strong urge to go downstairs, take a walk on the street, and investigate the situation. It was not my own. It doesn't fit my plan at all."

"Mind manipulation? That's a big deal."

Luvia said vigilantly, reaching out to Xia De:

"You can't save at this time."

Xia De touched his pocket, and among [Coin of Wisdom], [Cat and Dog Coin] and [Dandelion Coin], he chose to give the latter to Luvia.

The coin was thrown straight into the sky, where it began to rot at the top. When the rotten ashes scattered in the air, the purple-eyed girl opened her eyes and looked at Xia De in surprise:

"You were chosen by Iluna."

"What?"

"It's very interesting, you joined a game. Don't worry, they can only know your vague actions, and don't know what you did. Before Iluna gives the next instruction, please listen to me introduce an angel Information about the super relic."

She quickly introduced the general characteristics of the angel-level relic [Dice Story Collection], and emphasized:

"They won't know your specific actions, they only know what you have done roughly. For example, now, they won't know about your conversation with me, unless you stay here for too long and don't go downstairs. But this may be better, you Now there is a good reason to pretend to be an ordinary person under everyone's gaze to arrest [Thief Jack]. The only thing to be careful is not to expose the ring magician's identity. If this incident is successfully passed, the Church will never again There will be no doubt whether you are a ring warlock."

She points out the door:

"Now follow Iluna's instructions and go outside, and she will bring you victory."

"Masquerading as an ordinary detective? I see."

Shad nodded, Luvia's "divination" almost fully analyzed the characteristics of the relic, but the people who were telling the story and listening to the story were completely unaware that he, the "character of the story", already knew everything. .

"Wait a minute."

Before Xia De left, Luvia handed Xia De a divination card:

"Take this."

What Luvia handed to Shad was the divination card "Divination·Game" just now.

Xia De didn't ask why, and stuffed the divination card into his pocket, and put it together with the Rhodes deck:

"I'm going to 'investigate' on Silver Cross Avenue now, and wait for my good news."

He pushed open the door and came back to the corridor. The corridor was not empty, but both the royal guards and the staff of the Prophet Association seemed to have forgotten that a few minutes ago, the ring warlock team from the Church of Mechanics rushed into the room. They didn't even notice Shad. According to the characteristics of the relic, unless the "Keeper of Secrets" mentioned it, no one would be able to notice Shad.

Just like Luvia just now, she should suddenly be curious about what she was doing standing in the empty room, but Luvia was obviously surprised. Considering that she can even be exempt from level 0 relics, Shade can understand the spiritual hints of exempting level 1 relics.

"I'm watching you from the window. If there is an accident, I will take the initiative to show up. There are actually many loopholes that can be exploited here."

Luvia said softly behind Shad.

In the enclosed room, the only light source fell from the sky to illuminate the table. Although Iluna was angry, she still suppressed her expression:

"You guys are cheating again!"

Professor Angs shook his head:

"That's not considered cheating."

He unfolded the parchment scroll:

"Before our character moves to Silver Cross Avenue, I would like to announce—

Because [Stalker in the Night] Qiao Geli Deus carries the symbol "broken bugle" on his body, so his combat power is enhanced, and he rolls dice to attack in battle, and gets a bonus of 12 points;

Because he is carrying the symbol "Mother's Necklace", so the injury reduction is reduced during the battle, and the dice are thrown for defense in the battle, and a bonus of 20 points is obtained;

Because he is carrying the symbol "expensive Rhinestone monocle", he can see some imperceptible traces, and gets 15 extra points when investigating.

Because he is carrying the symbol "Broken Candle Brand Match", when scouting in the dark, he gets a bonus of 25 points.

Because it carries the symbol of the "desecrated silver cross holy emblem", when encountering evil creatures, it can be exempted from certain attacks by rolling additional dice. "

After his words fell, the wooden doll in the background on the round table really had five additional items: a necklace, bugle, monocle, matches, and a holy emblem.

The cultist Dion on the side also mentioned the "symbols" carried by the character he manipulated [Ms. Charming] Lydia Pengelo at this time, and the number he mentioned was four.

The so-called "symbol" is not an item with extraordinary power, but an ordinary item judged as a special item by [Dice Stories Collection] according to some rules. The two people who came prepared prepared these props in advance, so they had the confidence to use the special rules of [Dice Story Collection] to win the game and capture [Jack the Thief]. But Iluna didn't know that there were these things.

She opened Shad's parchment scroll again, read through the densely packed text, and looked for symbols that could be used in it. The basic rule of the game is that it must be read out to take effect, and the effect that has not been read out will not take effect:

"[Mortal's Luck] Shade Hamilton, carrying the symbol "Invincible Rhodes Deck", his luck is improved, and whenever he rolls the dice, he will automatically get a bonus of 5 points."

Professor Anse is not surprised:

"Indeed, the chosen one, this target you have chosen should be the best target, which increases your poor chance of winning by at least ten percent."

"There is a thin line between luck and bad luck."

The cultist muttered softly.

Iluna frowned and continued to look at the parchment in her hand. The relics would not be judged as game tokens. Except for the relics, most of Shade's body were toys, and these items were not tokens either. But she found that compared to the first time she checked the parchment a few minutes ago, Xia De had one more item:

"[Mortal's Luck] Shade Hamilton, carrying the symbol 'Divination Card of the Beloved [Game]', his luck is improved, and whenever he rolls the dice, he will automatically get a 5-point bonus."

Iluna knew that this card could only be given by Luvia, and the word "beloved" made her feel a little uncomfortable. Among the crowd watching the battle, Dorothy pursed her lips, Princess Margaret frowned deeply, and Agelina didn't know what she was thinking.

The figure in black robe drew everyone's attention back with a hoarse voice:

"People looking for thieves came to the illuminated Silver Cross Avenue. The bright gas street lamps heralded safety. But ordinary people patrolling the street. Action. Social reputation and charisma, which provide bonuses to the dice."

The puppets representing the three characters have all come to the silver cross avenue on the tabletop setting, but the highest points of the two dice can only be 100, theoretically speaking, no one can pass the judgment.

Professor Anse first threw two dice:

"I'll come first."

The number "29" is formed by throwing the dice.

"[The Stalker in the Night] Qiao Geli Deus, the local reputation bonus is 10, the personal charm bonus is 19, and the total points are 58; use the power of the ring in his hand to cast 'charm humans', making himself worthy of being Believe it. Because the target is an ordinary person, the judgment is passed directly, and an additional charm bonus of 50 is obtained; the character's special skill - speaking skills, an additional bonus of 32. The total is 140, and the judgment is passed."

The cultist who then rolled the dice rolled a 51:

"[Charming Ms.] Lydia Pengelo, the local reputation bonus is 15, the personal charm bonus is 81, the total points~lightnovelpub.net~ Oh, I won’t read the words or something, the judgment has been made pass."

He smiled, while Iluna looked at the table hesitantly, while Miss Green comforted her:

"It doesn't matter, you have to believe in your luck. Even if Mr. Hamilton is an ordinary person, it is not without hope of winning."

Iluna nodded, this is not what she was worried about.

Throw the dice casually, and the number is 39:

"[Mortal's Luck] Shade Hamilton, the local reputation bonus is 64."

Xia De is quite famous in this city, mainly because of his "gossip" with Miss Galina, but he is only the lowest nobleman after all, so the value of 64 is actually mainly due to those wonderful rumors.

Iluna skipped strange bonuses such as "spiritual body affinity", "speaking skills enough to deceive the witch", and "luck under the moonlight":

"The Charisma bonus is..."

Iluna looked at the parchment roll in her hand and pursed her lips, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

-----Off Topic-----

PS: Because it involves a lot of "how much bonus" and "how much value", it seems that there is no specific story, so a new chapter is added. Because there are definitely readers who don't like this kind of story format, the game will not be very long.

This year is officially half over.
