The Whispering Verses

Chapter 281: Total trust

Views:

I talked with Miss Carina from 2pm to 5:30pm. She thought Shade didn't know the details of the two gods coming to Tobesk last night, so she told him in detail what shocked the whole world last night.

In fact, no one understands what happened last night better than Xia De.

But at least Shade understood from Miss Carina that no one connected the events of last night with him, but they were all wondering who the god in the white robe was. In the sixth era, apart from the five righteous gods, there should be no other good gods.

The church linked the mortal who summoned the Silver Moon God to the "Masked Man Under the Silver Moon". They even used some unknown means to link the ringmaster who used the maze not long ago to the "Masked Man Under the Silver Moon", and thus further confirmed that the mysterious man was the Thirteenth Ring Master.

Since last night, the code name of "The Masked Man Under the Silver Moon" has been officially changed to "The God-Caller", and the material world has one more thirteen-ring sorcerer recognized by everyone.

Mortals who become vessels of gods are almost certain to die, but a thirteen-ring sorcerer has a chance of not dying after summoning a god. But even if he does not die, he will need to recuperate for at least several decades to recover, so the Five Gods Church feels sorry for this "friendly" thirteen-ring sorcerer.

"The church is crazy, I guess."

This was Miss Carina's opinion. She knew that Shade was the so-called "Masked Man Under the Silver Moon", but she also knew that Shade only had two rings at the moment. Even though she suspected that Shade might have a way to temporarily upgrade himself to the thirteenth ring, he was now sitting here intact without any signs of injury.

It is indeed possible for a mortal to use the power of the thirteenth ring when he is at the first ring, and this is not the first time. But the day after the mortal became the vessel of God's descent, he was able to walk freely on the ground and sit opposite her to talk. Miss Carina said she didn't believe it. After all, the former is the difference between mortals, and the latter is the difference between mortals and gods, so she believes that Shade is definitely not the so-called "God Caller". In addition to making a mistake in stopping the cultists, the church made another mistake in finding people.

"Perhaps it's because we've been at peace for too long, and the True God Church has become slack. They've really made a big mistake this time... Detective, you're not the 'God Caller', right?"

Of course, the Duchess asked one last question, and Shade answered with certainty:

"Oh, why do you have such an idea?"

He wasn't lying because he didn't answer at all.

Before the end of the day's conversation, the Great Witch finally mentioned the topic of "Whispering Poems" to Shade for the first time. The two gods appeared in Tobesk last night, which also scared her. After thinking for a long time, she decided to reveal this fatal matter to Shade, hoping that he would know something and not easily get involved in danger.

Most of what Miss Carina shared was known to Shade. In fact, the information that this great witch knew was not as much as what Luvia Anat told Shade.

It seems that Carina Cavendish did not conceal the truth intentionally, but only knew these things. This made Shade suspicious of Luvia, a sorceress with only three rings, who knew more about "Whispering Verses" than the nominal witch heir.

Coupled with the sacrificial divination, there are more secrets about the female fortune teller than you can imagine.

After Thursday night, almost everyone now knows that the first chosen one is a sorceress from the Orthodox Church. But Miss Carina doesn't care about her, and instead reminds Shade not to get close to other candidates for the chosen one:

"The real Chosen One is not worth caring about, because her identity has been confirmed. She is unlikely to betray the Church, let alone be won over. Killing her will not bring any benefits for the time being. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the Chosen Ones who have not yet appeared. They are the ones who may be won over... It's a pity that the first one is a woman, but the Council didn't even get in touch with her until the very end."

It was still bright at half past five in the summer, and Miss Carina intended to keep Charles at her estate, have dinner together, and talk about other things after dinner.

But Xia De had to go back, after all, there were two ladies waiting for him at home.

"Then let Tifa take you back, and bring back the Vampire Fang, and you take the 1,200 pounds back. Oh, one more thing, detective, get me some more water, I think it will be of some use to me."

So before leaving, Shade summoned the Life Ring again and used the Food of Fullness to process a whole cup of water. Miss Carina just drank two small sips like she did a few hours ago and put it down.

He stood up and prepared to leave, but Xia De thought of something else:

"Miss Carina, do you know the chief of police at Redwich Field?"

"I know him, what's the matter?"

"The forged Philosopher's Stone is in his hands. He is also one of the supporters of Mercury Blood. I want to kill him and take the thing away. Can you help?"

The Duchess thought for a moment:

"If we take action tomorrow, I can help you and move away the people who are in the way nearby. Act as soon as possible. Once the church investigates him, you will not have the chance to get the relic. Based on the current progress of the investigation, it is impossible for the police chief to hide."

She didn't ask for payment this time.

“Thanks for your help.”

Shade said softly, then stood up and left with the maid, Miss Tifa.

The door was closed, and the other maids did not disturb the Duchess who was resting there. She stared at the cup of water on the coffee table, which was emitting a silver glow. She picked up the cup and stood up. Standing in front of the French window, she saw Shade and her personal maid had already walked into the courtyard.

She raised her head, and drank half of the clear water that was filled with silver light. The red-haired witch stood in front of the window, stroking her stomach with one hand, and sighed deeply:

"Although I haven't fully recovered, I was able to be treated to this extent."

She looked at the figure of Shade walking away in the courtyard of her manor:

"Are you a candidate for the Chosen One? Oh, if you are, many doubts can be explained. After all, any strange things about the Chosen One... It's really right to return to Tobesk this time."

With a smile on her lips, the witch, whose strength had been restored, showed her original charm again.

He turned around and prepared to deal with the things that had been piled up for the day, but suddenly stopped. He frowned for a moment, then couldn't help but uttered:

"belch!"

Bang!

The glass in her hand was crushed directly. Carina Cavendish covered her mouth with a slightly red face and turned around to look around. Fortunately, she was the only one in the quiet room now.
