"There is also the matter of negotiations between the two countries."
Speaking of this, Yin Luna also had a headache:
"Green Lake is now facing such a situation. The gathering of the ring wizards has made the future of the negotiations even more uncertain. The Peace Church sent a letter to the two countries on behalf of the other four churches, hoping to suspend the negotiations. The letter was sent to Willendel and Tobesk when I was in the Holy See. The two kings should have received it by now."
Everyone looked at Miss Carina, and the red-haired Duchess came to a conclusion without much thought:
"It is not impossible to suspend the negotiation process, but it cannot be achieved by just a few words. It is no longer a situation where the king can control it immediately with just a word. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations is, any attempt to suspend the negotiations will be condemned by everyone. The kings' order to start the negotiations is just like pressing the button to start the steam train, but they do not have the ability to force the already accelerated train to stop immediately."
"Yes, the church also knows this. Ring wizards don't care much about politics, but the Pope and the cardinals are fed up with this matter. The letter sent by the Peace Church is just to prepare the two kings. If there are any accidents in the future, it will not be the church's fault."
Yin Luna sighed, and Audrey frowned slightly, thinking of the night she met Miss Carina at the banquet:
"Does the church know about the Tyranny Club? They want to disrupt the negotiations and secretly support my ancestor."
"Yes, we are investigating. I saw the latest news before I left the church this morning. It is basically certain that the actions of the Tyranny Club are influenced by three forces. One is themselves, a group of lunatics who crave war. Another is Miss Edwards' ancestors. Finally, there are third parties outside the two major human kingdoms who are trying to provoke war. They are also a group of ambitious people."
Yin Luna counted on her fingers, then took the cup from Tifa:
"The church has not assigned me any tasks yet, but I should be on the island with the church's Thirteenth Ring in the near future."
"I will also visit the island again in the near future. I made a deal with the guys on the island last night. No one will interfere with me next time I visit the island. There must be other keys on the island. Five of the thirteen keys are still missing. Although we don't know the functions of these keys, we must get them."
"Then we can only wait for divination."
Yin Luna said, then glanced at Shade. They both knew that this was Luvia's divination. As long as it had nothing to do with the chosen one or the gods themselves, Luvia could predict everything. The witches thought they were waiting for the divination of the Prophet Association, and they had no objection to it.
"Now Yin Luna is waiting to go to the island with the church, Xia De is waiting for the divination results, and we are responsible for turning this hotel into a base."
Miss Carina said this and gave Yin Luna a copy of the witch's task list.
While Yin Luna was looking down, Xia De said:
"The church should be investigating the two Edwardses in the Tyranny Club and the Dragon Feast Cult. Before the divination results come out, I also have to do something... I plan to destroy Laplace Howard's strange ability to resurrect corpses. The power of the three liches should be weakened by this, just like the third-generation siblings last night."
"What are you going to do?"
Miss Benanis asked curiously, and Shade shook his head:
"I'll do it myself. You don't need to interfere in this matter."
He is waiting for the priest to come tomorrow:
"Also, pay attention to the Truth Society's movements. When Audrey and I went to investigate the Drowned Cult a few weeks ago, we knew that the Truth Society was also involved in this matter, but they haven't shown up until now. This is very wrong."
"Speaking of the Truth Society, I have some new news."
Yin Luna suddenly looked up:
"I also heard about it in the Vatican. The original Twelve Rings President of the Truth Society gave up his position to someone else. Yes, Shade, Miss Pav who appeared in the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom incident."
"Wait, I've met her and even worked with her for a while. I admit that the lady is indeed very interesting and special, but doesn't she only have six rings?"
Audrey asked, and it was the first time that Shad knew that Audrey had been in contact with Miss Pavo.
"He's already at the seventh ring. The church doesn't know much either, as this happened not long ago. But according to intelligence obtained by spies at the Zalaas Academy of Literature, it seems that the research led by Miss Paw has made great progress that is of decisive significance to the Society of Truth, and that's why she became the president. This was not the original idea of the twelfth ring. The Society of Truth has strict selection criteria, which are said to be as strict as the internal appointment and dismissal of faculty members at a university."
Perhaps the change of presidents has temporarily stopped the Truth Society from concentrating its manpower to participate in the Green Lake incident, but Shade always feels that it is not that simple. He was very impressed by Miss Pavo, who was calm, rational and extremely intelligent. She was also a candidate for the Chosen One of Wisdom, but not the first candidate.
During the Battle of the Pantanal, Shad thought she would do something to seize the identity of the Chosen One, but she just left immediately after accepting the Light of Enlightenment of the Chosen One Ceremony.
Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Ms. Pavo's goal from the beginning was not to be the Chosen One, but to receive that precious wisdom enlightenment. And if that is really the case, then from the perspective of Shade, who knows the Chosen One best in this era, Ms. Pavo's choice on the night of the Pantanal Battle was indeed the wisest.
"Speaking of which, didn't the grandmother of the Green siblings mentioned by Shad, Nicholas Green's mother Maria Edwards, escape and wander around the Green Lake area after her soul returned to the island?"
Miss Sylvia suddenly said, and Xia De nodded:
"Yes... You mean, if we can find her, maybe we can learn more about the island?"
Yin Luna immediately looked at Xia De, and the two thought of Luvia's special divination again. But with the harvest from the demon hunting, there are only 4 special coins left, and they should not encounter everything, and they are looking forward to getting answers from Luvia.
Although divination and spying on fate are useful, sometimes you can't rely too much on this method.
“The Edwardses may not be the point.”
Yin Luna said softly, carefully choosing her words:
"In my opinion, the ancient god of space, the original rift, represents the meaning of 'connection and rupture', and has an imperfect image. Perhaps... ... incomplete absorption of the Edwards family is the way to make his power reach its peak."
The witches and Xia De looked at her together, which made Yin Luna feel a little embarrassed.
"That makes sense. Originally we thought we would just absorb everyone, but after hearing what you said... Yin Luna, it seems we underestimated you before."
As Yin Luna's teacher, Miss Carina took the initiative to praise her, which was rare. The other witches also nodded and thought it was a good idea. Megan and Audrey even expressed their gratitude to her, and once again felt that the chosen one was worthy of being the chosen one.
Yin Luna was a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to talk about the "what if" information, so she had to pretend that she had thought it up. She looked up and met Xia De's gaze. Seeing that Xia De also wanted to praise her, she felt inexplicably guilty in the corner of her heart. But when she thought that all she did was for the young man in front of her, she smiled at him.
Xia De didn't quite understand what Yin Luna wanted to convey by smiling at him.
In addition to not having to absorb all Edwards to perform the ceremony, Yin Luna also learned from the second game that there would be evil creatures, demons, undead, dragons and other enemies that would appear in the final battle. If you face these powerful enemies without preparation, you will definitely suffer great losses. However, before Yin Luna shared this information, Shade told her the information he had obtained from Mr. Nicholas Green about all the people in the Edwards family.
This information was obtained on Friday morning, when Yin Luna had not arrived yet, so she didn't know. So Yin Luna's information was outdated, but she was still very happy because Xia De was still Xia De.
In short, this brief meeting between the witches, Shade, and Yin Luna temporarily sorted out what everyone needed to do in the half week before Grandma Cassandra and Miss Aurora arrived.
Time was becoming increasingly tight, and no one knew how far the fortuneteller who had never left the island had progressed. According to Megan, perhaps after she went to bed tonight, she would receive an invitation to go to the island, so everyone had to speed up their progress to prepare for the decisive battle that could come at any time.
"Audrey, why don't you let Shade sleep with you every day these days? That way you'll be safe."
Miss Benanis also said jokingly, making the witches laugh. Although Audrey and Megan were the ones being teased, she felt that she had become closer to her colleagues in the parliament.
After all, before her mental illness was cured like it is now, she basically would not communicate privately with other witches except the Speaker.
The four great witches would stay here to discuss strengthening the defenses and small-scale renovations of the Green Lake Hotel. Xia De made an excuse to see Yin Luna off, and got up and went to the corridor with Yin Luna.
Yin Luna held the Silent Note Spell in her hand, and Xia De nodded:
"Luvia will be here on Monday."
"Okay. I also saw some new content in the Psalter fragments in the Vatican."
Yin Luna lowered her voice and looked into Xia De's eyes:
"Those fragments are quite fragmented and do not constitute a complete paragraph. But the old priest who was in charge of sorting them out told me that the word 'butterfly' appeared many times in the poem fragments of 'The Chosen One of Space'."
