Whispering Verse

31st Augustine Priest

The academy had already informed them that the corpse of the "Fate Weaver" was quite special and would not be affected by most transformation abilities. However, Shade and the doctor, who did not give up and thought they were very special, tried their own methods and later confirmed that it could not be turned into a toy by Shade's "toy making" and carried away, nor could it be turned into a black cube by the doctor's magic based on demonic power.

Luvia believes that this is the result of the "life-weaving spider silk" in the body of this monster that is created based on the characteristics of the user.

Fortunately, the college gave out a special potion in advance. Father Augustus drove the carriage to the fence on the east side of Regent's Park. Shad and the doctor carried the spider, and the two ladies used illusion to cover it. Under the cover of night, they quietly transported the body to the grove in the park in the snow.

The doctor then sprinkled the potion, and the huge skeleton spider corpse that was two people tall was melted into half the size of an adult in a puff of white smoke. The remaining part looked like a white cocoon with a vague spider shape, and for safety reasons, everyone chose to use the most primitive method to move it.

The doctor carried the cocoon on his back, climbed over the wall and put it in the carriage under the protection of the three people. And Shade promised that if the "Fate Weaver" appeared again next time, it would be his turn to carry the spider.

"Get ready to go, hold on tight!"

The doctor rented a freight carriage with a shed and an opening at the back. After he made sure everyone was on board, he immediately drove the carriage away from the neighborhood where Regent Park was located. The commotion just now was too loud, and it would be too late if he didn't leave now.

In the carriage, Luvia and Dorothy sat inside the carriage, studying the melted spider corpse with great interest. The "destiny-weaving spider silk" was useful to them, whether it was used for divination or weaving stories of fate, it was a good material.

Shad and Father Augustus sat near the opening of the carriage, and they did not close the door so that they could observe the rear more easily.

At first, the two were very alert, but after the carriage entered the alley and completely left the East District of Tobesk, they relaxed.

"In fact, I thought about it from the beginning. The Fate Weaver will most likely appear in the first round. The one in five probability is definitely false for us. Even if your 100% guess is a bit exaggerated, I think it should not be far off. The number of spiders that appeared tonight is less than 3, so we are lucky."

Father Augustus said to Shad, then reached into his pocket, but what he took out was not his pipe, but the card that had just been activated.

Shade smiled and did not respond to Father Augustus's judgment, but he actually thought so too. After all, everyone has said that as long as doctors are involved, things will not go smoothly. And since five people are here this time, things will definitely not go smoothly.

Dorothy and Luvia were still discussing something in a low voice, as if they were wondering whether the academy would find out if they secretly intercepted some of the spider silk. Shade also asked the priest:

"Is the information recorded on the observer card accurate?"

The old priest lowered his head and looked at the card under the flickering light of the street lamp. After a moment, he nodded slightly:

"It is quite accurate. It is indeed observing destiny."

Among the five people in the group, although the doctor had the best relationship with Priest Augustus, the person with whom the old priest was willing to share secrets was definitely Shad.

He didn't mind exposing any of his privacy to Shade, so he handed the card to Shade, who almost had "I'm curious" written on his face. The stranger took the small card with an embarrassed smile. The back of the card still had the golden Ouroboros logo on a black background, but the blank side had been filled with content.

Visually, the card still looked flat, but when he rubbed it with his fingertips, Shade could feel the dense relief of skulls. The background of the card was a skull angel with arms outstretched and a halo on its head. The four half-burnt wings almost formed an "X" symbol on the card.

Gray letters made of pieces of bones wrote the following in the Delarion language on the background of the card:

【Name】：Rat A. August

[Race]: Human/

[Physical Status]: Decayed/Holy/Immortal

[Soul State]: Powerful/Dead/Noble/Pure

[Level]: Ringmaster, Fifth Ring/Advanced Ringmaster (Broken State)

[Legend]: Possessed person/devout clergyman of the Church of Dawn

【Fortune】:↑↑

[Destiny Proverbs]: When the broken bodies are reunited, the trumpet of doom will sound

"this"

Xia De widened his eyes in surprise:

"The workmanship of this card is really amazing! If Rhodes cards can have this kind of workmanship, I will buy a box of cards even if it costs 1 gold pound. What kind of technology is used to make this card look smooth but feel bumpy? And the card surface effect and the text made of bones, the design is really amazing! The Prophet Association is in need of this kind of card designer!"

Although Luvia didn't know what Shade saw, she still reminded him:

"If I remember correctly, the information the doctor got said that the card surface of [Fate Observer] is usually solid color, and the letters are also very ordinary printed.

Because it is a derivative, the information displayed will not be as complete as that of the angel-level relic. The most basic information such as name, race, body and soul status will definitely appear on the derivative, but other items will be displayed differently when activated by different people."

The items on the priest's card are of course more informative than what the academy gives, and the most special one is the [Legend]. But this item is not difficult to understand, "Angel Possessed" is of course part of the legend itself, and "Pious Clergy" is the legend that the priest himself has created with his own life -

An old priest like him who had served in the church as a low-level clergyman all his life would be eligible to be selected as a "saint" after his death if he died without any bad deeds. Moreover, even if Priest Augustus was still alive, almost everyone in the diocese had heard of his name. Even in the Five Gods Church in the Tobesk Diocese, almost everyone knew Priest Rat Augustus.

Legends do not necessarily have to be about powerful fighting abilities or great deeds of saving others; the character, creativity or malice of ordinary people can also create legends.

"I have something I want to discuss with the priest. Do you mind using a Silencing Charm for now?"

Shad said to the two ladies on the inside of the carriage that they certainly wouldn't mind. So Dorothy activated the spell on her own initiative, and Shad said to the priest:

"Remember last year when I encountered the Dice Story Collection, that angel-level relic couldn't fully display your information. It seemed to be the Incomplete Old Days (Chapter 982), but this time it almost showed all your information."

“The main function of [Dice Story Collection] is not to reveal information, but the main function of this derivative card is to explore.”

The old priest took the cards that Shade handed back:

"This relic derivative is very convenient for observing the hidden ailments of the ring warlock's body and soul."

"What about the [Fate Motto]? The information says that the fate motto given by the card may be a summary of a person's fate, a guide for the future, or completely meaningless rambling. Priest, what do you think it is?"

Shade asked again, thinking of the trumpet blown by the angel summoned by the priest during the battle of the woodland:

"What does the end of the world have to do with accusing the dead?"

The priest smiled and shook his head:

"If I knew, I would also like to tell you. But now I only vaguely realize that the ancient gods have long known that the end of the world is coming, and as the first angel created, the angel of death-Jakel also has a mission: to blow the horn when the end of the world comes.

The Angel of Death can announce the death of mortals, and will also announce the end of the world on the final day. "

"If it doesn't blow the trumpet, the end won't come?"

"Of course not."

The priest shook his head slightly:

"All men must die, and all things must eventually perish. The end of the world is certain to come, whether the trumpet of the dead is blown or not. I don't know about this angel, but I am sure that our practice of collecting angels' remains will not bring the end of the world sooner.

I just vaguely feel that maybe the angel that was broken a long time ago can influence some things to some extent. But what exactly it is, maybe I will understand it after more debris gathers together. "

Xia De thought that there were only three flames left to collect the complete flames, so he asked again:

"Priest, based on our current collection progress, how far do we have to go to collect all the wreckage?"

The carriage began to turn under the doctor's driving. Shade straightened up slightly, and the priest leaned back against the carriage.

"Detective, it seems that you don't know everything. We can't collect all the remains of the angel, because the Angel of Death is destined to be incomplete. Theoretically, if we get the most important skull, eyes, wing bones, and heart, and the remains reach 75% completeness, it will be enough.

The skull, eyes and wing bones don’t need to be complete, but they’re not complete yet. The heart needs to be complete, and we have about 47% of the rest of the remains now.”

Shade calculated:

"Isn't this still a long way off?"

The priest shook his head:

"Not far. One third of the skull is just a little bit short of meeting the standard. With the eyeball I got from the dead apostle, I can roughly sense the location of the other one. The wing bone is a little more troublesome, and there is no clue yet. As for the heart..."
