, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Whispering Poetry!
To be precise, the knock on the door came at 2:27 am on Saturday. The sleeping Xia De was not awakened by the sound downstairs, but by the cat sleeping next to the pillow.
This timid cat was extra vigilant when sleeping, and when the knock on the door downstairs woke it up, it lowered its head and kept scratching the pillow with its paws to make noise. After Xia De woke up, Mia immediately got into the thin blanket covering him, only showing her small head and looking out vigilantly.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid... Oh, who came to see me so late?"
After Shade took the revolver from the bedside table, he yawned and stepped on his slippers and went downstairs. The timid cat got out of the blanket and followed at his feet, but when Xia De came to the hall, the orange cat stood at the corner of the stairs and looked down, with a worried expression.
"who is it?"
The gas lamp in the foyer was yellowish, Xia De stood behind the door and shouted to the outside. He didn't lose his vigilance due to sleep. While holding the gun in his right hand, the silver moonlight in his left hand also lit up.
"Shad, it's me."
Judging from the tone of the voice, it was Miss Anat, and then opened the door a crack, leaning against the door, looking out from the side, and saw that it was indeed Miss Seer with short brown hair, and opened it while yawning. Anti-leech:
"Good evening, Miss Anat."
Even ring warlocks have to sleep, and Shade really wants to go back to bed now.
"Good evening, Shad."
Miss Anat was obviously full of energy. She had an excited expression on her face. After being welcomed by Shade, she pointed to the paper bag in her hand with a smile.
"Look, I got it."
"What did you get?"
"A relic with the power of the ancient gods. I just went to the train station with Old John to pick up the goods."
Now Xia De is not sleepy.
The gas lamp in the living room was turned to the brightest, and Miss Anat and Shad sat on opposite sofas. Miss Anat put her coat on the back of the sofa, wearing a white shirt with ruffled sleeves, and excitedly took out the cubic metal box from the paper bag.
"Xia De, I remember you said that you can understand any text, that's why I came to you so late. Help me to see, what is written on the box?"
The metal box isn't the relic, it's what's inside. The box itself is a special utensil for storing relics. It was sold to Miss Anat along with the relics. It is also an antique.
Xia De looked at it carefully under the gas lamp. The six sides of the box were different pictures, and there were ancient characters like tadpoles in the corners of each picture.
After reading it in detail, he sorted out the order of the six aspects before starting to explain:
"This probably talks about the process of the ancient people sealing up this object. The first two pictures are about a **** holding a balance falling from a high altitude, so all the statues of this **** in the material world collapsed."
"This should be the process of the ancient **** - the upside-down judge, falling."
Miss Anat analyzed, asking Xia De to continue explaining with expectant eyes.
"The next two pictures are about the loss of control of this item. This box should not be the original box. It was copied by the later discoverer, so some languages were burned wrongly when burning. According to my understanding, the general meaning Yes, the thing in the box was originally a weapon given by the gods to mortals, but with the departure of the gods, the power of the weapon got out of control and caused a lot of damage... Is it a long-handled bell?"
"Yes, that's right, a bell."
Miss Anat nodded with a smile. Since Xia De knew her, it was the first time seeing her so excited:
"It's my luck to be able to buy this relic. This is a Secret Keeper-level relic [Judger's Holy Bell]. And the power of spells will be greatly enhanced."
"What about the negative traits?"
Xia De asked while looking at the words against the light, the cat was lying next to him and pretending to be asleep...or maybe really fell asleep.
"Exposure to the bell for a long time will cause a shift in the user's personality. Calm people will gradually become irritable, angry people will become calm, greedy people will be indifferent to fame and fortune, and kind people will tend to be evil. In general , is to reverse the more prominent traits in the personality, and reverse them again after the three-month phase cycle. Each reversal will make the extreme emotions more extreme. But this is not effective for Iluna Bayas, she The balance talent counteracts this negative trait."
At this time, Xia De also deciphered the meaning of the last two pictures. The last two pictures involve the process of the [Judger Holy Bell] being hidden by the ancients:
"God's departure caused the church to collapse, and the original gods became disasters. People paid the price of their lives to make the ancient... This word has no corresponding in modern times, and it probably means a wise man. Let the ancient wise men build this box to contain the holy bell, and warn future generations that the truth about the fall of the ancient gods...don't find out easily."
The writing on the back is so shallow that it's almost unreadable against the light. He could only take a pencil and paper, press the paper on the surface, and after a quick sweep with the pencil, he obtained a clearer trace:
"The truth about the fall of the ancient gods is not that they encountered enemies, but that they left voluntarily...huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Miss Anat asked suspiciously, she saw the surprise on Shade's face. Xia De also read out the last sentence at this time:
He looked at Miss Anat:
"What does it mean?"
"The time when the ancient gods fell is too long ago. No one can tell the story of the thirteen first gods in detail. However, a certain view on "Whispering Poetry" believes that the thirteen witch emperors left The "Whispering Poetry" was inspired by the remaining power of the thirteen ancient gods. As for the reason for the departure of the ancient gods, this is the first time I have heard that they left voluntarily."
Miss Anat replied cautiously. Xia De knew that the other party didn't know much, so he didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he opened the lid of the box and took out the bell that was placed in the soft straw.
This is not the kind of small hanging bell, but a golden rattle the size of a palm and a half. The surface of the long-handled rattle has a wonderful spiral engraving, but it is only a decoration rather than a text, so it cannot be deciphered.
When I picked up the bell, it didn't make any sound. The bell can only make a sound when I shake the long handle tightly.
"Can I try it?"
He asked the owner of the bell, and after getting permission, he clenched his right hand and shook it lightly:
jingle~
The sound seemed to spread to a farther place in this quiet night, and the reverberating sound made the cat lying next to Xia De look around.
The fullness of power made Xia De even feel that the spirit turned into substance and galloped in his body, so he actively activated the thaumaturgy [mysuo-little match girl], which was a thaumaturgy that he could not fully use.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, and while Miss Anat reached out to touch the fluttering snowflakes in amazement, she saw a phantom of a little girl with a basket appearing beside Shade. But that was less than a second before it disappeared before my eyes.
Snowflakes fluttered down from the ceiling, Xia De looked at the bell in surprise:
"It's amazing. It not only enhances the effect of thaumaturgy, it can even use thaumaturgy beyond the level of a ring warlock."
But still not enough for Shad to fully use the Mystic.
Miss Anat folded her palms together, feeling the cold feeling and wanted to ask what kind of thaumaturgy it was, but she was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head to look at Shade's study with the door open:
"Shad, something is glowing in your study."
Xia De turned his head and saw that it was the position of the desk drawer. The faint white light flickered like the frequency of breathing, soft and quiet.
"Glow? What?"
He was surprised to think that he walked into the study carefully, and after opening the drawer, he saw that the page of [Poet Cohen's Manuscript] that was supposed to be in contact with the academy was actually glowing.
There is an extra line on the page:
[Xia De, when you go to Bill Schneider's study session tomorrow afternoon, please dress a little more formally. Your request to view the Tome of Ascension has been approved, and the librarian Miss Dennist wants to see you. —Hessinger Garcia]
When Shad finished reading the last letter, all the words on the page disappeared, and the page no longer glowed.
He froze for a moment, locked the drawer again, and then turned back to the living room. Miss Anat was putting the holy bell back into the box. She looked very curious, but out of politeness, she didn't ask Shad about her privacy.
Instead, after Xia De picked up Mia again, he asked seriously:
"Miss Anat, did the academy give you tasks to monitor the rest of the team?"
"Surveillance? Others?"
Miss Anat looked at him suspiciously and asked:
"Why spy on other people?"
"Here... let me tell you a story that I haven't told before. In fact, before today, I always thought that it was possible that they told all five of us."
When he first accepted the task of monitoring the other four people, Xia De didn't fully trust the four people in the group, so he didn't say anything about it. But after getting along for two weeks, he gradually developed trust in Miss Anat, Miss Louisa, Priest Augustus and Dr. Schneider, and he planned to reveal this matter at an appropriate time.
And now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is a good opportunity to reveal it to Miss Anat.
He didn't hide anything about the content of the conversation that night, and he talked about the problems of the other four people, including Miss Anat, one by one.
Miss Anat was aware of Miss Louisa's "abnormality", but she didn't know about Dr. Schneider's question, but she gave an explanation after thinking about Priest August's question:
"The college's opinion is correct. Priest Augustus' joining St. Byrence was indeed related to the out-of-control accident of the unknowable (level 0) relic, and he really wanted to investigate the truth of the accident. But what exactly did the priest What kind of power is in my hands, even I don't know... I just know that the priest's self-healing ability is very strong."
"How strong is it?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"It's conservatively estimated that as long as you don't die, any injuries can be fully recovered within ten minutes."
Xia De was frightened by this kind of "conservatism". He didn't understand anything three weeks ago, and he knew very well that this level of self-healing ability was beyond the normal range.
