Whispering Verse

Chapter 3169: The Banks of the Osel River

If Dorothy and Lecia's situation could be passed on, and eventually everyone in the world would be united, then only one person would be alive for everyone to be alive. Unfortunately, in the seventh cycle of the sixth era, there was no time to make their situation more common.

World protection is obviously a common feature of the "chosen ones". It is difficult for them to be completely killed by non-chosen ones. Luvia said this from the beginning. But in fact, the chosen ones should also have the feature of "ill-fated", which is specifically manifested as Iluna, who can encounter out-of-control relics after taking two steps.

But if you think about it carefully, except for Iluna, it seems that all the other chosen ones do not show this characteristic too strongly.

There is no need to discuss the death of the dark Ivan Darkness; Sister Devlin's fate may have been affected by the First Flame; the qualification for wisdom is still in [Aikenora - Arrow of the Chosen]; the fate of the earth is shared by those souls; the butterfly-winged girl rarely appears in her entirety; the vampire coroner walking outside is just an incarnation; and more than half of Emilia's power has been split off and is in the Crystal Throne.

Therefore, Iluna, who possesses the most complete and pure power, is probably the only chosen one who will be detected with the label of "ill-fated".

As for the last [Destiny Proverbs]

“Although this sentence makes sense, it seems a little incomplete.”

Dorothy took the card from Shad:

"Hold on."

After closing her eyes and opening them immediately, Leicia handed the card back to Shade. It was clear that the [Fate Observer Card] could only be activated once, but when she looked at it again this time, the text had changed -

[Name]: Leicia S. Cavendish

【Destiny Motto】: Together, we can save the world; together, we can free the world from bondage.

The text part is the same except for [Name] and [Destiny Motto], and the card face is slightly different from before. Of the two figures with shawl hair standing back to back, the one on the right now has blurred facial features, while the profile of the figure on the left has no facial features.

But this is not important. What is important is the last entry of the two people, which seems to be able to be pieced together into a complete sentence:

【United as one, this is the way to save the world; in the land of destiny, this is the possibility of liberation from bondage. 】

"Free yourself from your bonds?"

Dorothy also noticed this. She murmured to herself and looked at Shad, who asked:

"What is the Land of Destiny?"

The writer lady didn't know either, so the two of them went to ask the fortune teller who had just finished his work.

Luvia frowned after hearing this question:

"There are many places called 'Land of Destiny'. For example, when the Prophet Association was selecting a site in Tobesk, they believed that the current location of the Association was the most suitable 'Land of Destiny' to build a branch.

In addition, everyone has their own so-called "Land of Destiny". There are also various special areas called "Land of Destiny" in the Old World. What do you mean specifically?"

It was difficult to say more about this matter right now, so Dorothy and Lecia decided to wait until everything was clear before looking for Luvia to conduct research.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the doctor asked everyone to get in the car and leave. However, before the official departure, he informed everyone of the changes in the plan:

"After summarizing the progress of each team, the academy found that the frequency of Fate Weaver's appearance is much higher than when we conducted experiments in the academy. It's not just bad luck that we encountered Fate Weaver twice in three experiments."

He also wanted to distance himself;

"Anyway, the academy just informed me that the order will be adjusted. Originally, the detective was the fourth and I was the fifth. Now it has been changed to me being the fourth and the detective being the last to conduct the experiment."

"So the place and time have changed?"

Father Augustus asked, and the doctor shook his head:

"That hasn't changed. Let's go, we're heading to the fourth location now. So far everything is going well, I think we should all be able to go home before ten o'clock tonight."

After the East District, South District and West District, the fourth experimental site was in the north of the city, which is the traditional slum area of ​​Tobysk.

The northern part of Tobesk is centered on the famous "Anthem Square", which is not only the most densely populated area in the city, but also the most economically developed area. Of course, the academy did not let the five members of the team go to the Anthem Square to conduct experiments. The selected location was a remote place on the riverbank beside the Ausel River near the northern suburbs of the city, and Shade was very impressed by it.

If you continue walking along the riverbank towards the northern suburbs of Tobesk, you will soon see an abandoned sanatorium. That is where the doctor brought the ignorant stranger to recover the relic that caused the death of Detective Sparrow in the summer of 1853. It is also the place where the stranger first came into contact with the ring magic system.

Of course, that sanatorium has now been bought by the Guiding Light Hermitage, and is used as a base for collecting supplies and storing civilization information before doomsday. They are actively preparing for the inevitable doomsday.

Before the rise of the steam wave, rivers such as the Osel River and the Terraril River that flowed through the royal city would freeze over every winter. However, in modern times after the start of the steam revolution, due to climate change and the discharge of wastewater from a large number of steam factories upstream into the river, the rivers no longer completely freeze over in most years.

Luvia was doing divination again, priest Augustus was on the river bank, Dorothy walked on the water to the river. Shad and the doctor were making arrangements on the wasteland beside the river. Seeing that no one was too close, the doctor nudged Shad with his elbow:

"Did you bring the ring?"

He was referring to the "Demon Hunting Seal". Shade nodded:

"certainly."

"If the Fate Weaver appears again this time, according to the previous rules, it is very likely to have the power of the devil. You prepare in a moment, and kill the opponent immediately after it appears. Once that thing is out of our control, even if it just runs around nearby, the impact it causes will be very troublesome. We don't need to find trouble for the church, right?"

He warned softly, and Shade nodded in understanding.

When everything was ready, Father Augustus stood on the high bank, Dorothy and Luvia were on the water, and Shad stood beside the doctor. The doctor had just started counting when there was a whoosh in the distance, and a red light spot swirled into the snowy night sky, and then with a bang, it exploded into a red and yellow flower pattern above the city.

"Is today a festival? No, this is the church's emergency contact signal. It is only allowed to be used when the team carrying out a mission in the city encounters a danger that is completely beyond their ability to handle."

Xia De thought to himself, but at this moment, no one had time to understand the signal. The doctor's countdown had come to the end. He stared at the card in his hand -

"Three, two, one."

The moment the countdown ended, the strong smell of sulfur almost completely blocked Shad's sense of smell. A giant flaming claw fell from the sky and hit the ground with a bang, and immediately touched the "Hedon Seal" that enveloped Shad and the doctor.

As the shining golden shield exploded, the escaping light allowed the five people to see clearly that their opponent this time was a spider that was burning with black flames all over its body and was made of obsidian.

But it has to be admitted that compared to the first skeleton spider and the twin spiders just now, this spider is just a little uglier in appearance and is always burning. Apart from the unbearable smell of sulfur, its appearance is the most normal among the monsters that appeared tonight.

"Stop it, don't let it run away!"

The priest, Luvia, and Dorothy formed an equilateral triangle to surround the two people and the spider in the middle. When the spider that was deflected by the shield fell to the ground and wanted to attack again, the doctor shouted and slammed his right arm. The human pus attached to the black right hand that was flowing with pus, and immediately pressed the spider to the ground, but the doctor's right hand was also ignited by the flames on the spider's body:

"Desire?! Damn it, a flame that can burn a person's pus!"

After a complaint, the doctor decisively discarded the pus attached to his right arm, and the ignited abscess was immediately absorbed by the Obsidian Spider, and its body size soared to three meters in height at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The heat waves from the burning flames all over his body could even be felt by the girls on the water. But as the raging fires burning human desires erupted into the night sky like pillars of fire, the snowflakes dancing under the moonlight suddenly became denser.

Someone's sad sigh came to the doctor's ears, and he felt a chill on his back. Thousands of tiny ice crystals formed an ice storm and rushed towards the spider in the flames from behind him.

Shade walked out of the frost storm behind the doctor. In the cold blue light, a gentle phantom embraced his neck. The girl placed her head on Shade's shoulder, with a peaceful and serene expression on her face with her eyes closed.

The long silver hair drifted behind the phantom as the ice and snow flowed, as if Shade was covered with a silver cloak:

"Thaumatology - Chloe's Ice Echo!"

Even though he had the ability of the Ten Rings, the bone-chilling cold still made Bill Schneider shiver violently. He felt that even his soul was frozen by the cold, so he quickly backed away from Shade.
