Whispering Verse

Dr. Schneider and his friend who were traveling together were heading in the direction of Lake Schluch. It was already half past seven in the evening, and there were many young men and women in formal suits and beautiful long skirts walking by the lake.

The magical three-round full moon and stars are reflected in the lake, and the sparkling lake surface seems to overlap with the night sky. This picture made Xia De, who emerged from the flower path and suddenly came from the dark environment into the moonlight, stunned.

No matter which period of his life, he had never seen such a scene. Under the cool summer night breeze, the outsiders actually had some feelings about this picture:

He was walking hurriedly among civilizations, and at an accidental glance, he seemed to be about to touch the power of the great nature. In this relatively idealistic world, this wonderful feeling represents power.

"Don't you want to say something?"

He stood on a high place far away from the lake, looking at the calm lake reflecting the moonlight and stars, feeling the summer night wind, and could only see vaguely rolling mountains in the distance. This picture is really beautiful.

[Are you expecting small feelings to gain strength? No, not to this extent yet. 】

"I'm curious, what kind of element should the power perceived from nature belong to?"

[That is your enlightenment. 】

While the two were talking, the life ring in the soul rotated slightly, and brass-colored particles adhered to the life ring. During the rotation, the elements were transformed into spirits, stimulating the enhancement of the body and soul.

Every wonderful feeling has meaning, even if it is just a humble power.

[Active and in-depth contact with the four elements will enhance your spirit and refine your soul and body. 】

While looking at the lake in the distance, a whispering voice sighed softly in his ears, like a woman putting her head on Shade's shoulder and whispering.

"That is to say, theoretically speaking, even if I have always been a first-level warlock, if I can frequently come into contact with the four elements, can I still defeat a high-level warlock with physical strength?"

Shade asked, then heard the woman's laughter. The sound was quite pleasant. He might have misunderstood the connotation of his previous laughter, but this time it was definitely mocking:

[Outlander, you haven’t understood the strongest point of the Ring Warlock system, the power of elemental spirit runes. You still don’t understand. 】

"What is that? How do you know?"

[My vision is different from yours, and what I see is different from yours. 】

"So, is the sudden feeling a continuation of the luck just now?"

Shade still hasn't forgotten this.

[The result of the dice of fate will be clearly displayed in front of you. All you need is to wait patiently. 】

The woman is chuckling:

[I thought you had noticed it. Do you remember what I said when I asked you to throw the dice? 】

Shade thought for a while, looked at the lake with his hands behind his back and repeated:

"'I see interesting things for you through my vision.'"

[Yes, at that moment, I saw someone killing you through the means of fate. 】

"Who is it? Oh, it must be Mercury Blood. Is this what Peter the Dwarf Mouse said about using a Keeper-level relic to retaliate against failure? What did you do? Are you able to affect reality?"

He was a little surprised.

[Of course it cannot affect the world. But you are outside of destiny. I just used your strange destiny to fight back with the power of that dice. You can regard this as my unique power, born from your power. At present, this is the only power I have. This is what makes you unique. 】

"So you can help me resist all attacks from fate?"

Shade frowned, actually curious about whether the other party had other abilities. It is not unusual for the "other self" to have some special abilities, but most of these special abilities are very weak and not worth mentioning. They are the elements of the "other self" as the other side of the soul passively accepting the original self and becoming a ring warlock. After the spirit is reconciled, the "special function" is produced.

However, the power shown by Shade's "other self" is really amazing.

[Your power is just power, you also need tools, such as that dice. 】

Shade nodded slightly and took a breath, still worried that someone wanted to kill him. My eyes noticed that the cruise ship on the lake in the distance was shaking slightly, but I couldn't see the people on the boat, and I didn't know what was happening.

But he had no intention of caring about that:

"Is this the reason for tonight's good luck? But it's still unclear."

[Then just wait. The person who tries to kill you will eventually appear in front of you. This is destined by the die. 】

"How can you make me believe that you are me?"

[But it does come from your power. Soon you will understand that I am with you. 】

Walking along the side of the back garden of Lakeview Manor near the lake, I saw no trace of Dr. Schneider. When he gave up the search and wanted to return to the courtyard in front of the manor, it was probably because his good luck really continued, so he saw Priest Augustus in the maze of garden fences.

The priest wears a white robe, with the holy emblem pendant of the righteous god [Mr. Dawn] hanging on his chest. This looks like the attire of a clergyman.

When Shade saw him, the old priest was talking to an old gentleman holding a cane. The old gentleman was wearing a somewhat outdated brown suit, and the large gold ring on his finger made Shade's eyes linger for several seconds.

Because he didn't want others to find out that he was acquainted with Priest Augustus, Shade did not approach rashly. Instead, he pretended to walk by the two of them casually, allowing Priest August to discover him on his own initiative.

Ten minutes later, Shade, who was standing under the statue of a knight riding a horse and holding a sword high, successfully waited until the priest came.

"Mr. Hamilton, why are you here?"

Priest Augustus was surprised. He strode over, and his vigorous appearance did not suggest that he was an old man.

"This matter is very complicated to explain. To put it simply, it is for Rhodes... This is not important. I just saw Dr. Schneider."

He immediately got down to business.

"What, Bill is here too?"

The old priest took a few steps closer, allowing the circle of candles placed under the statue to illuminate both of them at the same time. The cool night breeze of the summer night made the candlelight sway, and the breeze blew through the grass in the garden, making a rustling sound. It was not midsummer yet, so there was no sound of silkworms chirping for the time being, and it seemed to be a very peaceful night.

"Don't you know?"

Shade was even more surprised than Priest August:

"Just now I saw two teams of ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church. One team I don't recognize, and the other team is [War and Peace Church]."

He briefly described the characteristics of the first ring warlock team, and Priest Augustus immediately understood that it was a ring warlock team under the [Church of the Sun and Earth] of the righteous god [Old Man with the Lamp]. This sentence also reminded Shade that he vaguely remembered the shopkeeper in Purple Iris Lane talking about the identity of the young girl with long brown hair.

"How did this happen? Is something going to happen at Lakeview Manor?"

Priest August asked uneasily, looking up at the Lakeview Manor with Shade, but nothing happened now.

"Maybe something is going to happen. I even saw Mr. Lawrence and his mistress Mrs. Lasoya just now."

Shade added that he thought this was the key, and therefore suspected that being able to meet so many people he knew was part of tonight's inexplicable good luck.

Sure enough, saying the correct "keywords" allowed him to get new information from Priest Augustus, and the priest suddenly realized:

"I see, now I understand. Mr. Hamilton, although I am not a ring magician of the church, I can also get some information about the church's ring magicians. You mentioned Mrs. Lawrence's plan at the study meeting yesterday. When I went to see the doctor last night, I heard him talk about this matter. Can you guess where Mrs. Lawrence found the magician for help?"

The old man asked. Shade thought for a while and asked incredulously:

"She found the Orthodox Church?"

"Yes."

Priest August nodded:

"The aristocratic lady your former client met at the tea party once encountered mysterious events, so she knew the power of the church. She introduced Mrs. Lawrence to the church. The somewhat reckless lady, before she was sure whether La Zoya was really With a background as a ring warlock, she directly told the church her information. This was probably similar to a false alarm. Mrs. Lawrence only wanted revenge... Later, La Zoya's information was fully investigated, and he did He is a member of [Mercury Blood], and the church has been looking for him for a long time.”

"Is Mrs. Lasoya a man?"

Even though he had already guessed it, Shade still couldn't help but be speechless.
