After leaving the Crow Club, Shade sent Iluna back to the local Sun Church, and then the melancholy foreigner returned to Tobesk.
First, he went to Old John to customize alchemy items for the sealing ceremony, and chatted with Father John about the recent news. Tobesk has been calm recently. It wasn't until the sky turned dark outside that Shade said goodbye to Father John and took Mia with him.
The cat went to have supper, and then Luvia arrived at seven o'clock in the evening.
After informing the purple-eyed girl about Joey Barton, the Society of Truth, and [Origin Death], the latter was almost certain that Iluna's view was completely correct, and Joey Barton was the number one chosen by Death.
candidate.
"Why are you so sure?"
Shade was very interested in this.
"Shad, haven't you discovered it yet? Every time the [Impermanent Card] appears, it means that the chosen one has appeared. You got [Origin·Balance] from the tree in the underground ruins of Tobesk. Iluna just
The ceremony was held; you obtained [Origin Darkness] from Queen Diana in Yodel Palace, and Darkness immediately went there to steal the hilt of the Dark Sword."
Luvia concluded. Shade hesitated and pointed to the bedroom that originally belonged to Detective Sparrow. He has not used that room yet:
"But when I got the [Original Silver Moon] in the master bedroom over there, the Chosen One didn't show up. There were two people present at the time. Detective Sparrow died, and I was the only one left. Could it be that I belong to the moon?
The chosen one?"
"Of course it's impossible!"
Luvia immediately shook her head:
"Anyone may be the chosen one, but you are the only one who cannot. Therefore, calculating the chosen one based on the appearance of the Impermanence Card can only be regarded as a rough calculation method. In the end, I still have to divine the answer."
As she spoke, she picked up the six coins, thought about it, picked out one blood money and handed it to Shade:
"Take this, you are still waiting to find other coins."
So she still had five coins in her hand, but after thinking about it, she picked out the [divineer's silver coin]. This silver coin was not only given to Iluna by the church, but it was also very useful to the fortune teller and could be saved.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Two blood coins, a [Dragon Blood Treasure Money] and an [Upright Coin] were thrown into the air. As the coins reached the top, their surfaces finally appeared successfully.
There were large rust spots.
As it fell, the rust marks on the surface of the coin became more serious. Before it finally fell, it turned into dust and disappeared.
"Meow~"
The cat with its head raised is very interested in this.
"It's no problem this time."
Luvia opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and purple light traces flashed across her eyes:
"The Chosen One is Joey Barton."
Shade let out a sigh of relief:
"Very good, very busy. After half a busy autumn, this matter is finally coming to an end."
As he spoke, he pulled the cat squatting aside into his arms with a smile on his face, held it with his left hand, and quickly stroked its little head with his right hand. The orange and white cat narrowed its eyes and made a purring sound in its throat.
, didn’t look unhappy.
Luvia was also in a good mood and was amused by this scene:
"Xia De, don't worry, because we got a lot of information besides divination, so we got more information from this divination. The three candidates you provided are all candidates for the chosen one, yes, all of them."
"Both? What about the order?"
This is the key.
Luvia paused for a moment to organize her words:
"Joy Barton, who is suspected to be the [Reverse Rebirth] of the Truth Society, is the first pick, and Sister Devlin, the [fire-bearing nun] of the Spiritual Order, is the second pick. Our friends, they look ordinary.
Priest Lath August of Dawn Church is the third candidate. Also, according to my divination, you met a candidate who was even lower in the ranking today, but I don’t know who that is.”
"Is it so complicated this time?"
Shade nodded suspiciously, then shook his head:
"The people at the back will not be considered. The further back in the ranking, the weaker the talent of the selected person. And unless the above three are dead, the people at the back will have no chance. I really didn't expect that all three of them are.
"
The current situation is more complicated than when Ivan Darkness appeared. For Darkness, Shade only needs to consider how to get rid of him. But for Joey Barton, Shade is still undecided on how to treat him.
According to the information collected by Sister Devlin, Joey Barton is a very good person. This is not a pretense, it is indeed the case. And there is a high probability that the other party is a member of the [Truth Society], or in other words, a [Truth Society]
Will] support people.
Luvia also thought about this problem, but she looked at it very broadly:
"Shad, you try to contact Joey Barton next week and test him. If you are sure that the other party has no possibility of cooperating with us, give up the chosen one and let Iluna tell the church directly."
"Are you sure you want this?"
"Yes."
The purple-eyed girl nodded with a serious expression:
"I just want to witness the thirteen chosen ones finally opening the door. But I will not murder innocent people because of this, just like you would not murder him in order to get the [Creation·Death].
Of course I very much hope that our friend Priest August will obtain this status, but if we don’t talk about Joy Barton, Shade, will you murder Sister Devlin, who is second in line, for this reason?”
Shade immediately shook his head,
This is not only a moral issue, but also because the nun is a real eleventh ring, and she has more than one angel-level relic on her body. Shade even thinks that even the twelveth ring may not be able to beat her.
"So, we're going to meet Joey Barton again next week. He's a good guy. We'll find ways to cooperate with him, but it's only limited cooperation. After all, he's not based in Tobesk. If he's a bad guy, we'll report him. Xia
Germany, your mission at Fort Midhill is about to be completed."
Luvia leaned back on the sofa quite relaxedly:
"By leaving the matter to the church, we don't need to divine the Chosen One ceremony, chase someone, or search for someone. The next step is to wait quietly for the Chosen One ceremony to be completed."
"Is this the end?"
Shade hesitated.
"What else did you expect?"
The female fortune teller asked, thought for a while and then said:
"Yes, the Hazama problem has not been resolved yet. But Shade, that is not your responsibility."
Of course, the outsider does not think that it is his responsibility to solve the problem of life and death. He just thinks that this matter will never end so easily.
"However, I can indeed take a break."
He said, mentally planning to rest until Monday. On Monday, he had made an appointment with Granny Cassandra to witness the "Teacher" ceremony.
"Speaking of which, the detective agency has been out of business for half a month. Moreover, I plan to deal with the problem on the third floor recently. I have to buy the materials at Coldwater Port, and the customized precious metal ring from Papa John's will have to wait a few days.
The matter of getting the Middlesbrough is coming to an end, but there are still many things going on at Tobesk's family."
He pointed upstairs.
"The autumn astrology activities of the School of Astronomy are also coming to an end. Star Sea Whales will appear in ten to fifteen days. The School of Astronomy regards the appearance of those creatures that can penetrate the space wall as the end of the autumn astrology activities."
Luvia said, looking at the cat being held by Shade, and inexplicably remembered that Shade mentioned just now that Joey Barton was temporarily blinded for a moment after looking at the cat.
"But this cat...is normal."
The gas lamp on the wall illuminates the home of a foreigner in this world. The purple-eyed girl who is related to the owner of the house is holding a teacup and squinting, thinking about the past and the future. The cat raised by the owner is lying on the lap, because it feels comfortable.
She feels sleepy due to the daily life, and her orange hair has a sun-like luster even under the light of night.
As for Shade, he sat in the middle of the couch, tilting his head and looking at the reflection in the room on the window, thinking about the upcoming end of Fort Midhill. In a daze, he actually saw a red butterfly flying through the window.
, but when I blink again, I can't see anything.
[The year 1853 of the Fifth Age, the Moon of Dead Leaves, late autumn. The never-ending time has led you to this moment, but those mysteries have not yet been solved. The vampire race, the twin red butterflies, the fire-wielding nuns, and, that was
The man chosen by fate to die. Outsider, the story of Fort Midhill is about to come to an end. Having spent most of the autumn here, have you seen through the ending that is coming? Death is shaking, and the ancient and primitive power is about to come.
Break through the shackles. After the curtain, all the actors are already in place. When the curtain of the mountain city opens, are you watching this scene off the stage, do you want to change the outcome of this disaster?】
The whispering in his ears almost made Shade feel that "she" was behind him.
Shade smiled and looked at himself reflected in the window:
"Change? You mean, I want to use my divine power to stop all of this?"
He gently touched Mia's little ears with his fingers, and Mia, who rested her head on her two furry front paws, gave a soft cry. The cry was very soft.
[Outlander, we will witness the next story together. The primitive end may swallow up the mountain city, but the courage and wisdom of mortals may also be able to save it all. Sitting under the elusive stage of fate,
Do you want to pursue the departing red butterfly, or follow the guidance of the original flame? All mortals are mortal, and everything is destined to perish. Perhaps the answer waiting for you is a tragedy that spans years and time.]
"She" was chuckling. Shade leaned on the back of the sofa, raised his left hand, and touched the corner of his mouth with his thumb:
"Are you trying to say that the ending of Middleburg won't be too good? No, no, it's not time to draw a conclusion yet, but I think it won't be far away."
His fingers unconsciously tapped the sofa cushions, and the clicking sound of the clock in the corner was particularly clear at this moment. Time was moving forward, and all Shade could do was wait.
"Oh, there's also the matter of the Cadiz Library."
Thinking of Miss Olanold, he seemed to see the yellow moon again. Under the gaze of Luvia and Mia, he slightly raised his right hand. In the palm of his hand, there was a small yellow moon.
The shadow is suspended in it,
This is not thaumaturgy or incantation, just a small application of moonlight:
"May the moon protect me."
PS: Remember, in addition to Joey Barton, Sister, and Priest August, Middlesbrough also has at least one candidate whose name was mentioned and defaulted to the fourth pick. This is very important.
