Whispering Poems

Chapter 2495 The Second Stage of Destiny

Chapter 2495 The Twelfth Stage of Destiny

"Doomsday? Of course I know. My teacher mentioned it to me when he was still alive. Various signs in the past two years also indicate that the material world is heading towards collapse."

The Countess immediately understood what Shade meant:

"Yes, you guessed it right. The thirteen chosen by the Whispering Poems and the great witches of the parliament should all have missions related to the 'end of the world'.

But you have to understand one thing, the chosen ones are definitely not chosen to save the world, and we witches don’t have that kind of power. The mission of "Whispering Verses" and the witches is not a clichéd story of heroes saving the world. No one knows the responsibilities given to the chosen ones. "

"So what are the chosen ones who have inherited the power of the ancient gods supposed to do?"

Xia De was puzzled, and then he also told the information he had:

"The coming doomsday is definitely not to end the Sixth Era and start the Seventh Era, but to completely destroy this world. In fact, the First Era, which lasted for tens of millions of years, was the normal world. That era was called the 'Old Days'. All the eras after the First Era were just the last afterglow before the world collapsed.

In the Second Age, the ancient gods officially left, in the Third Age, a large number of evil spirits and demons were born, in the Fourth Age, chaos and darkness eroded civilization, in the Fifth Age, only women mastered extraordinary powers, and in the Sixth Age, doomsday and disasters were approaching step by step. "

The countess suddenly closed her eyes and spat a mouthful of blood onto Shade's chest, then she hurriedly said:

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just didn't expect it"

She reached out and brushed Xia De's clothes to make the stain disappear, her eyes a little dazed:

"Is the First Era the normal world? Although I know the stories and information of the past eras, I have never thought about it. In this case, the truth about Doomsday, the Chosen One, and the rumored war between the Witch Emperor and the Fifth Era, could it be..."

A brilliant golden light appeared behind the Countess, but because of Miss Elizabeth's illusion, the people on the dock did not see it.

Xia De looked behind her and saw the familiar golden steps extending behind her one by one until the eleventh golden step appeared completely.

And then, the phantom of the twelfth golden staircase appeared higher up. Although the new staircase was not solid yet, based on Shade's understanding of the witches, this basically meant that the witch in front of him could be promoted to the twelfth level.

"Congratulations."

He said with a smile, but found that the Countess was still in deep thought. But perhaps sensing Shade's doubtful eyes, she quickly woke up, first looked back, just stunned for a moment, and then retracted her golden ladder:

"I thought of some things. The fortune tellers of all generations in the parliament have left their own divination records. My teacher also said some very strange things to me before he died."

She sighed and looked at Xia De apologetically:

"Actually, I didn't come here specifically to eavesdrop on your conversation with Emilia. I was thinking that since you were going to end your adventure in Moon Bay, as the hostess here, I naturally have to thank you for your contribution to Moon Bay."

His face turned slightly red as he spoke:

"Originally I was going to invite you to return to the manor with me, to my bedroom. You can do whatever you want except... But now I want to do some divination. I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? It's more important to do business, and I'm not leaving tomorrow."

The countess bit her lip and looked at the considerate knight:

"In fact, even if I use divination, there will be no result. I will probably need to spend several weeks, months or even years to verify the sudden inspiration just now. Oh, Shad, I feel that I am really too harsh on you. How about letting Matilda accompany you tonight? I noticed that she has been secretly watching you these days."

In an instant, the scene of the maid from the North Country teaching the maid from the South Country appeared in front of Xia De again. However, he immediately shook his head and did not agree with her proposal:

"Go and do your work. I'm really looking forward to what you can predict. Remember not to sleep too late and stay alert."

"understood."

She kissed the corner of Xia De's lips gently again, but hesitated to leave immediately:

"I really don't need to call Matilda."

"No need really."

"Well, can you give me a kiss?"

She asked again with a slightly red face, so Shade raised his head and kissed the birthmark between her eyebrows, and even gently licked the skin there. Bella Belindel's face immediately turned completely red, and after saying "Good night," she ran away.

Xia De watched her disappear at the cabin entrance before looking at the sea view again.

[I thought you would agree to let the blonde maid come to see you. Compared to the duchess from the north, the earl from the south is obviously more "generous."]

Shade smiled:

"I didn't forget that Luvia asked me to leave the door open for her tonight."

"She" smiled in Xia De's ear, and Xia De counted ten numbers in his mind again, and then the footsteps sounded again.

Vanessa Benanis, who also had long golden hair but a more mature and charming face, came to Shad.

The Witch of the Earth placed her arms on the guardrail and let her hands extend beyond the railing:

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but another witch has been promoted to the twelfth level because of you. This is really amazing."

"I don't have that much ability. I just talked to her about some things about the ancient era."

Vanessa raised the corner of her mouth and turned to look at him:

"That writer of yours seems to be doing something remarkable."

"Oh?"

Xia De was a little surprised:

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Dorothy on the boat or at the manor all day except for dinner. Do you know what she's been doing?"

"Of course I know. She also asked me for advice and asked sisters Megan and Audrey to help."

The wind blew her curly golden hair, and she continued to tilt her head and look at Shade:

"She is doing something that no mortal has done for a long time. She is recording stories about the gods. She is compiling the miracles that occurred in the Sixth Era."

The stranger blinked before he understood what she meant.

When he first came into contact with the Four Elements System, Dr. Schneider emphasized that the most convenient and safest way to obtain "miracles" and "blasphemy" is definitely not to directly touch the power left by the gods, such as statues and holy emblems, but to read the stories of the gods, learn about the gods' power and achievements from the stories, and thus touch "miracles" and "blasphemy."

Therefore, only by reading the stone rubbings or books that record the stories and legends of ancient gods can the ring warlocks gain power.

Shad didn't know what conditions were needed to record the stories of gods, nor did he know to what extent these stories and legends had to reach. But he knew very well that when he gained the darkness of "the Chosen One of Darkness" Ivan Darkness during his death, "she" in his ear did say that he had a chance to use "miracle".

That opportunity was the "Nightfall" when Shad transformed day and night after his resuscitation. He also told the girls and friends on the rubble that this was his "miracle". Dorothy heard about it later and must have realized something because of it.

"Recording God's story, did Dorothy succeed?"

Xia De was very curious. The sound of waves was crashing, and the Yuewan Pier was still brightly lit at night. The dock workers continued to work under the bright gas lights. Occasionally, he looked up at the anchored cruise ship, but could not see anything.

Vanessa still looked at Xia De, her golden eyes were slightly absent-minded, and then she shook her head:

"Probably not yet, but Megan said the possibility of success is very high, and she is looking forward to it. Shade, this is your miracle, a legend based on your story. Many years later, the bards will still sing that before the battle of the five gods in Moon Bay, there were three changes of day and night. Did Siris give you the ticket?"

The topic changed a little too quickly. Xia De knew that she came to chat with him so late at night just to ask about this matter:

"Give it to me. What exactly are you going to perform? Sirius was mysterious and refused to tell me, only saying it was a multi-person opera. In fact, I am still looking forward to a dance like last time. Yes, your solo dance."

The last half of the sentence was spoken in a low voice.

The witch smiled:

"Did you enjoy the last dance?"

"of course."

So Vanessa's smile widened, but there was a strange look in her golden eyes:

"I'm so sorry, the dance performance tomorrow night is not that kind of dance. But if you want to see it, the dance can be performed for you next time, yes, next time."

"So what is the play? Hillis said she wants to perform it, too. Is it a love story? A chivalric adventure? Or a court opera?"

Xia De was looking forward to it. Vanessa hesitated for a moment and shook her head again:

"It's better to keep this kind of thing a mystery. Oh, the performance can be roughly described as 'interactive drama'. This is a very new form of performance at the moment, where the performer interacts with the audience while performing."

The stranger nodded immediately:

"I know, it's like the hero on the stage defeats the villain, and then asks the audience: Friends, should I kill him? Finally, the performance continues according to the loudness of the audience's cheers."

"That's pretty much it."

She fiddled with the hair beside her ears and asked casually:

"Shad, I know everyone is avoiding talking about this issue, but what were you thinking when you helped Yuewan block that attack on Sunday?"

"I didn't think much about it. I don't know why I did it."

Xia De looked at his hands and put his arms on the railing like her:

"My thought at the time was to avoid it, but saying so much won't change anything. If there is a next time, I will still want to avoid it."

“But in the end you still choose to take the lead?”

The witch smiled gently, she always knew that she had chosen the right person.
