Whispering Poems.

Chapter 992 The Confused Chosen One

"The church bought the great witch of the [Witch Council] to find a more authentic source for the magical materials obtained by the students of St. Byrence?"

Ignoring the so-called "reward" issue, Xia De summed up the current situation:

"This is at least one-fifth of the tickets for the chosen ones. Isn't the parliament interested in gaining control of this thing?"

[Smart Pyroxene] Ownership can only be transferred once, and cannot be forcibly deprived or obtained by intimidation or deception.

"Currently, the only one who knows that the second pyroxene is in your hands is the Church of the Five Gods. I didn't tell the other big witches that you have a pyroxene in your hand."

Miss Galina was very satisfied to see the expression on Xia De's face:
"I will not take the initiative to involve you in matters related to the chosen one, and if you exposed this pyroxene, I am afraid that you did not intend to trade with us."

She waved her hand and lowered her head to deal with the food on the plate:

"I went to a meeting just now, and the speaker mentioned that he wanted to buy their fragments of poems from the [Apner Library]."

"[Apner Library] sold those materials more than once, and I know of them twice. If you need them, I will write them to you."

Xia De read those materials when he helped Old John pick up the goods. The only thing of value is that this time the ceremony of the chosen ones needs to be held on the water.

"What we want is the carrier itself, after all, it is a relic of the Witch Emperor."

Miss Galina said, motioning to Tifa to continue pouring wine for her, she swiped her right hand a few times to let the table knife cut the food on the plate, and she pressed her neck with her right hand:

"You don't have to worry about Wednesday, except for the Church and the Prophet Association, no one knows that you have [Wise Stone], you just wait for them to ask for a price. But Sylvia should get it from Marguerite Anjou There heard about it, and I'll tell her to keep it a secret. She . admires you and would love to keep it a secret."

Xia De nodded, and the witch asked again:

"Haven't you planned to keep this pyroxene? It can increase your wisdom and give you extraordinary talents. Even if it's not a material for the Chosen Ceremony, it's still an extremely valuable item."

"No, no, wisdom cannot be obtained with the help of external objects, 'the wise never give power directly, the wise only give guidance'."

Xia De said with certainty.

"Who said that?"

"The old gods I met in 5177 of the Fifth Epoch."

Miss Galina's hand holding the wine glass trembled, while Xia De looked down at the box at hand:

"Speaking of which, the fourth candidate, can the parliament determine the candidate?"

"New news came from St. Byrence, confirming that the candidate this time is still a man. It's amazing, three of the four candidates were men. Those 'Keepers' appeared Near the location, there must be some candidates. The church is comparing the guest list of the Lake View Manor Banquet with the people around the site of the abnormal phenomenon in the past few days, which also includes the guests of Little Rezia Salon. Of course, the church I'm sure I won't suspect you."

She said with a smile, Xia De thought for a moment:
"Actually, there's no need to doubt me. Luvia said that anyone can be the chosen one, but I can't be."

Miss Galina glanced at Xia De, and thought of the purple-eyed girl:
"What do you guys want to do this time? I'm very interested in your actions. Your actions were so successful the first three times. It's impossible to do nothing this time, right?"

"We will have a specific plan of action once we have determined who the chosen one is. Now we are just waiting for news and trying to collect pyroxene by the way."

"Where is the chosen one so easy to find out? Except for Iluna who was discovered by the church in advance, Ivan Darkness obviously came to Tobesk, but was discovered to be the chosen one when he arrived at Coldwater Port; Joey Patton is even more extreme, he has lived under the eyes of the church for so many years, and it was only before the Battle of Midhill Castle that he jumped out and said that he wanted to resurrect his lover, and the church didn't even know who he was at the beginning."

The Witch grabbed her knife again:

"Probably the chosen one this time will also jump out of nowhere, and then you bump into him for a strange reason, and finally fight you for a strange reason."

The witch's golden eyes looked at Xia De.

"Iluna didn't fight me then."

Xia De retorted, and Miss Galina raised a glass to Xia De with a smile:
"But I have something to ask you. After you caught [Thief Jack], did you really get that box of jewels and diamonds?"

"Of course not, I got that box of jewels from the Huntington. [Jack the Thief] asked me to choose one of three relics, but I took it and stole it from my friend Dorothy Louisa letter, and have it return the relic it stole from Iruna's squad."

Xia De told the truth, and then saw the witch showing a weird smile:

"I'm just talking about how Iluna was in such a good mood when the church found me through Larus III. As for Louisa, if I remember correctly, the Miss Louisa you mentioned is that beautiful blonde writer , used to be with Rezia, with you"

"Cough cough."

Tifa's timely cough prevented the Duchess from uttering an unseemly sentence.

Xia De cut a small piece of beef from his dinner plate and put it on the plate in front of Mia. The cat sniffed the taste excitedly.In order to prevent the witch from continuing to tease, Xia De opened the jewelry box and pushed it to Miss Galina:
"Would you like to choose one?"

"Rezia was still in the Yodel Palace this morning, asking me if you were awake. She rarely initiates a conversation with me, detective, you are very resourceful."

As the witch spoke, she picked out a small silver brooch inlaid with diamonds from the box with her slender fingers.

She casually placed the brooch on the table, then shook the wine glass at Xia De:
"Before you leave tomorrow, remember to make some more red wine. After drinking your red wine, other wines will hardly taste."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Xia De was a little disbelieving.

"That's because you don't know how to taste wine."

The Duchess said regretfully, and winked at Xia De:
"Wine tasting is an essential skill for nobles. You must not understand this. When you have time in the future, you still have a lot to learn from me. It's not good if you don't understand anything."

Xia De originally thought that Miss Galina would also mention the "two dangerous existences descending on the Plaza de Saint-Andres", but in the early morning of Friday, when he met Luvia at the Prophet Association, Xia De knew [ All the contents of the story collection] are only known by the Church.

At that time, only the Ring Warlock and the three princesses of the church were the only ones who watched the game. The church imposed strict confidentiality restrictions. Even if the Prophet Association knew that Xia De had [Wise Stone], they did not disclose the "dangerous existence" things.

Fortunately, before [Thief Jack] left, he had already informed the church that the "dangerous existence" had also left, otherwise Saint Teresa Square would have been under surveillance for several months.

"That's it. I didn't get you to look carefully on Wednesday night."

In the divination room on the second floor of the Prophet Association, Xia De handed the blue teardrop-shaped spar to Luvia.He sat with his back facing the window, and there was heavy snow outside.It was so snowy when I woke up on Thursday evening, and it is still snowing heavily on Friday.

Miya stood on the window sill with her tail up, and stared at Luo Xue outside with her eyes wide open. This scene surprised the cat.

"One of the five [Wiseman's Pyroxene]."

Luvia's purple eyes looked at the stone that had turned gray and petrified in her hands:

"Now Iluna has one, and you have one here. But it doesn't necessarily mean all the pyroxenes, and the church doesn't necessarily investigate the location of all the keepers."

"Yes, although we only know about two pieces at the moment, maybe tomorrow the real chosen one will have obtained five pieces of pyroxene and held a ceremony."

Xia De nodded:

"Have you still not found the chosen one? The Witch has no clues either. The Church should be progressing faster than us. I know that the other party is a man, but I'm afraid I haven't been able to find out the specific identity of the other party."

Luvia returned the pyroxene to Shad:

"The pyroxene in Iluna's hand is the first and only pyroxene on the bright side. The ceremony of the chosen ones has officially begun. The power of the three colleges has been allowed to directly enter Tobesk. The professors from Zhou College will arrive. Before that, we probably have no other way to determine the identity of the chosen ones."

She sighed slightly:
"[Truth Society] definitely has clues that we don't know about. Miss Pavo's avatar lost track after taking Iluna's blow [Sunshine Gun] hard on Wednesday night. Now that I think about it, she didn't join in on Wednesday [Dice Stories Collection], but let the professor of [Truth Society] participate, I am afraid it is to confirm some things. I am going to make an irresponsible speculation, this lady is more intelligent than we think."

"But you have established that she is at least not the first candidate."

"Yes, she is indeed not the first candidate, but it is very likely that she will be at the bottom of the list."

Having said that, Luvia smiled again:

"In short, although the accident on Wednesday night was sudden, you and Iluna cooperated well. Two of the five pyroxenes are in our hands. If it is confirmed that the fourth candidate can cooperate, then this candidate must Ask us for our advantage."

"This is probably the best result, and the church will not let me, an ordinary person, hold this stone forever."

Xia De clicked on the beautiful spar, then turned around on the chair and looked at the cat in the window.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger. This snow is the biggest snow in Tobesk so far this winter. The temperature may drop rapidly in the next few days.

"The church will send a representative to talk to you in a while. Have you really decided not to hand over the pyroxene to the academy? That is a sage-level relic."

Sage-level relics will not be circulated in the market, and they will never be found in the black market.The sage-level relics in Xia De's hands are only [God's Gift Box] and [Aikenola's Arrow of Knowledge]. Besides, on the friends around him, he only knows that the red earrings of Rezia are [Saint's Curse-resolving Stone] is sage-level, and the red butterfly pendant [True Red Butterfly] is sage-level.

【God's Gift Box】has completed a complete mission of the time key, and accompanied Iluna to break into the underground ruins, kill the silver-eyed person, and complete the mission of the chosen one. After reading the long story of the Red Butterfly Twins, after the reception of the gods, Xia De perfectly solved the problems of the twins in this era, and the pendant came into his hands; ], which is also related to a series of cases more than ten years ago.

Therefore, the sage-level relic is quite attractive to Xia De, but he still shook his head slightly:
"I want to use this stone to make some transactions, and exchange it for more valuable and safer items."

[Smart Pyroxene] can only be traded once. After agreeing to the transaction with the Church, this Pyroxene will still be stored in Xia De’s hands. When the Church needs it, he will transfer it to others. Therefore, agreeing to the transaction with the Church does not mean It represents the disappearance of dominance, but it also represents that Xia De can get something that he can't get normally.

【What exactly you want is written on your face. 】

Xia De touched his face, and then saw Mia in front of the glass window with Luvia, and made a movement of paws slapping the glass. The cat couldn't wait to get in touch with the snow outside.Obviously, Shade can also control the snowfall, but the city in the natural environment turns silvery white. For Mia, who was probably born in the spring of 1853, it is still very fresh.

Both Xia De and Luvia smiled. Such a peaceful morning made life look more peaceful than it looked.

　PS: There must be sage-level relics on the Witch and Sister Devlin, but they have not appeared in the text for the time being.Moreover, generally speaking, sage-level relics rarely have minor side effects, so in this chapter, Xia De only thought of gift boxes, arrows, and Leizia's curse-breaking stone. A sage-level relic that is out of control and polluted on a large scale.
