Whispering Verse

Carrying the corpse and the black suitcase in his hand that had caused more than one murder, Shade did not stay in the city for long, but went directly out of the city and into the mountains. For the sake of safety, he did not choose to go directly to the abandoned tower that connected the hidden space in the basement. Instead, he found a small open space in the forest after deviating from the main road into the mountain.

After making sure that no one was around, he put the moon stone ring on his hand, turned on [Quiet Moonlight] to prevent accidents, and then restored the body:

"The soul echoes."

With the use of thaumaturgy, the cold wind blew through the mountain forest in the evening, and the sun in the distance that had begun to set behind the Sikal Mountain became even dimmer. It seems that there are wolves howling higher up in the mountain, but if you listen carefully, it seems like the wind is blowing through the treetops.

In the quiet forest under the setting sun, Shade frowned and stood beside the corpse, watching the fragments of the soul that had been channeled appear above the corpse. Strictly speaking, the psychic ability of [Soul Echo] does not retrieve the complete soul, but only fragments such as reverberation.

Therefore, the souls that appear at this time are weaker than normal souls, but because of this they will lose part of their memories. . .

"Guide to death."

A cold gray light appeared on the fingertips, and Shade's hand touched the surface of the soul fragment. He closed his eyes, and scenes flashed before his eyes.

Although it is still incomplete, the series of pictures basically supports Sha De's conjecture. The deceased who was shot dead on the fourth floor of the hotel a week ago, the businessman with two pistols, and the professor himself were all members of the Gray Gloves. Although not as high as the "Grey Eagle", they were still of a high level. The purpose of the three people being sent here was just to get the suitcase.

But they had no idea what was in the suitcase.

In the broken memory, there are still some password patterns and passwords common to the "Grey Gloves". Of course, these are changed at any time, so they are of little significance. The most critical final delivery location turned out to be the Gray Gloves headquarters in Willendale, the capital of Carsonlik, a small gray house located on the side of the royal palace.

This means that the leader of the "Grey Gloves" of Kasenrik's espionage organization, or even It was a direct order from the royal family.

"What's in the alley?"

Shade looked at the suitcase he threw next to the body. The suitcase was not heavy. It was not even as heavy as the four all-metal banknote printing plates in his basement.

"Is this a photo of King Larus III, the Fire Jumper?"

He stood in the shadow of the mottled trees and thought, but this kind of tidbits of news didn't seem that important:

"Or is it evidence of treason by Lesia's other brothers and sisters?"

But there should not be that many descendants of the Cavendish family who want to commit treason:

"Or maybe it's a blueprint for a new weapon?"

This is quite possible.

"Why are you fighting among yourself?"

Because of the effect of [Guide to Death], the soul in the ignorant state is dissipating after "awakening". While Professor Higgins' soul had not completely disappeared, Shade asked again. This was because he did not see the answer in the picture just now.

"Because of betrayal."

Professor Higgins's voice was very dull, and it seemed to be coming from a very far away place:

"Shameful betrayal. One of them wants to hand this suitcase directly to his superiors, and the other wants to hand it to His Highness Samuel Anjou."

Samuel Anjou is the eldest contemporary prince of the United Kingdom of Kasenlik. Shade knows this man, not because he cares about foreign news, but because there are only three princes and two princes in Kasenlik. Princess, instead of having double digits of direct descendants like Delrayon.

"Is this the reason for internal strife?"

Shade felt a little funny:

"What about you? Who do you want to give this suitcase to?"

"Her Royal Highness Margaret of Anjou."

This one is the second princess of Carsonlik, and she plans to visit Tobesk City in the autumn or winter as a return visit to Lesia Cavendish's summer visit to the United Kingdom on behalf of the Cavendish royal family.

"Haha~"

Xia De laughed dryly, and really couldn't understand how the upper management of Gray Gloves gathered these three people and let them team up to complete the task.

"Are you laughing at Princess Margaret?"

Professor Higgins' soul asked, seemingly misunderstanding the reason for Shade's dry smile.

"Of course not. Wait? Why did you take the initiative to speak?"

He looked at the soul in surprise, only to see that the soul that was turning into white points of light and disappearing actually became solid as if time had reversed. White mist of unknown origin pours down from the head of the corpse lying on the ground, causing a pale green light to appear in the soul, and at the same time giving the soul the power of the element that represents the "Whisper".

"Damn it, the soul is about to transform into an evil spirit. It's the Level 0 relic [The Gap of Life and Death] that is affecting it! If I had known earlier, I should have brought it back to Tobesk and channeled it again."

But this was not something that Shade could have predicted. Iluna only said that after the earthquake, the local evil spirits would become more powerful and terrifying, but did not say that evil spirits would be more likely to appear in the local area.

"I did not laugh at the beautiful, kind, innocent and honest Princess Margaret of Anjou!"

Shade hurriedly spoke loudly, hoping that this could stop the soul fragment from turning into an evil spirit, but unexpectedly, these words made Professor Higgins' soul even more violent:

"ah!"

The shrill cry seemed to pierce the eardrums. If Shade hadn't used [Silent Moonlight] in advance, it would have frightened a large number of birds in the forest:

"If you don't listen to the advice, then I'll make you listen to the advice!"

He stepped back to distance himself, and at the same time, he lightly drew his right hand in the air, and arc-shaped light marks hit the front. But after hitting Professor Higgins' spirit body, it only left a terrifying scar instead of directly cutting the spirit body into two halves as usual:

"It turns out that the evil spirits have become stronger because their defenses have become stronger."

Shade thought in his mind, put the extract on the tip of his tongue, took a step back and disappeared directly, and then stabbed the transformed spirit body from behind with a sword in both hands.

Clang!

Silver light spots splashed everywhere, and the moonlight sword actually struck the translucent green light shield behind the evil spirit. The light shield covered the evil spirit's back like half an eggshell, even if it was covered by the moon. When the Great Light Sword struck, only a spider web-like crack appeared. Before the second sword summoned by [Blade of Chaotic Time] struck, it had been completely repaired:

"Isn't this enhancement a bit too exaggerated?"

He truly realized how terrible the disaster that was about to happen to Fort Midhill was.

The evil spirit roared toward the sky, and under the influence of the white mist coming from the narrow space, the whispering elements almost corroded it into a human form. The limbs were completely reversed, and black hands stabbed out directly from the inside of the spirit body. Even Shade couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw this scene.

What he fears is not this enhanced soul, but the power that belongs to the narrow space, the power between life and death that should not appear:

"An evil spirit of this level is almost equivalent to a human ring warlock below the fourth level."

Centered on the roaring soul, the grass in the forest withered completely, and even he was shaken back.

The white mist blurred the vision, and in the white mist, carrying large shadows and pale green airflow, the soul stretched out its hands towards Shade. And that layer of translucent light shield also clung to the spirit body's transformation, giving Shade no chance to break through the defense.

"The Chain of Sin should be able to penetrate the protection formed by the power of the soul, but I don't want this soul to become even crazier."

So the left fist wearing the mind crystal ring punched out hard, but hit the light shield again, but it was not completely ineffective.

[Soul Echo], [Psychic Explosion], [Guide to Death], the three magical arts work together to make this blow almost create a sonic boom effect in the air.

Although the attack force was blocked by the shield, the violent evil spirit was like a cannonball, floating towards the forest behind with the white mist, green smoke and the black faces wrapped around it.
