Whispering Poems

Chapter 1244 The Earth That Devours Souls

"Three in the Randall Valley, one in Tobesk, and one in the Pantanal. In just half a month, I have seen five."

Sighing, Xia De took out the normal soil prepared in advance from his pocket and prepared to cast a spell.It's just that after the soil was crushed and sprinkled, the spell didn't work:
"This time is different from the previous situation. I need to see the core of the polluted area in order to purify the land."

Xia De patted the soil off his hands, Iluna nodded, and the two still had to enter the building in front of them first:

"Then what is the characteristic of this crazy land? It's not the petrification or gathering evil spirits you mentioned."

The spirits in the mansion don't look like evil spirits either, at least they don't.

"Let's go in and talk about it. The residual power of the evil has seriously affected the perception, and I don't know what will happen."

He pulled out the [Night Watchman], the silver sword gleamed under the moonlit night.The long sword sensed the power of the evil, and the runes on the sword lit up, indicating that Xia De was ready to fight.

Of course there was no light in the deserted mansion. After entering the corridor by moonlight, the two found the stairs to the second floor, planning to meet the soul trapped here first.

The interior of the house was far more dilapidated than expected, and even the stairs were broken.Fortunately, for the two middle-ring warlocks, this is not a big problem.

It was only when they came to the second floor that they realized that the souls that had been standing at the window staring at them had all disappeared.The deserted corridor was illuminated by the bright moonlight, and this scene was rather terrifying.

"Let me see."

Iluna said, looked at the window, and pressed her hand on the window sill, the golden light shone under her palm.After waiting for a while and looking up, she noticed the message:

"There are so many souls here. They are all waiting for us on the third floor."

"they?"

"All the souls here, at least hundreds of them."

Although I don't know how many people are in the Farmer family, the distant relatives of the Granger family and the de jure owners of this land, but it is obviously impossible to have so many.

The stairs from the second floor to the third floor were also broken, and there were many blackened blood-stained graffiti written on the walls of the stairwell.Those crazy words are either cursing the people who came here, or complaining about the injustice of fate, or just pointless cursing. Many things probably happened here before.

It is impossible to verify who built this manor, but apparently at the beginning of construction, the largest room on the third floor was used as a banquet hall.When Xia De and Iluna came to the third floor, the sound of music like a ball song appeared very abruptly in the empty building, and the door of the banquet hall on the left side of the stairs was opened, and the warm yellow light came from it. After spilling out, the voices of people talking to each other and men and women gradually became clearer, as if a grand banquet was still being held here.

Xia De and Iluna looked at each other, and when they came to the entrance of the banquet hall, they saw that a banquet was being held under the bright crystal chandelier and the kerosene lamp on the wall.Ladies in gowns danced with gentlemen in tuxedos, while waiters in white shirts and red waistcoats weaved through the crowd carrying trays and wine glasses.Elderly people wearing monocles are talking interesting things with acquaintances on the sofa in the corner rest area, while middle-aged people and young people in military uniforms are looking at the distant scenery by the window.

Such a lively banquet in the deserted mansion made the scene even more weird.Xia Deming knew it was a fake, but he couldn't see through the truth for the time being.From the perspective of Iluna on the side, the scene in the left eye and the right eye are completely different, and the eyes with divine structure are enough for her to see through the truth here.

"Really, this trick. Let me use it."

Angrily, she took [Night Watchman] from Xia De's hand, and stabbed the red carpet illuminated by the light in the banquet hall with both hands holding the sword:

"Law-Breaking Demons!"

The golden traces of light spread along the ground centered on the tip of the sword, causing no waves in the corridor where the wall was peeling off behind the two, but in the banquet hall ahead, as the golden ripples spread, the resplendent banquet hall seemed to fade away. The same old and dilapidated appearance was restored, and the well-dressed people disappeared like soap bubbles.

The warmth on the skin turned back to the coldness of a winter night, and the cold wind poured in through the glassless window and then blew through the door into the hallway.The empty banquet hall was illuminated by the three-color moonlight from one side window. There was no grand banquet here at all, only hundreds of shadowy souls were watching the two people at the door.

In the center of the banquet hall was an old long table without a tablecloth. The suspicious traces on the table looked like large blood stains.At the end of the long table, sat a well-dressed "pretty" male soul.He was dressed in the attire worn by nobles in the old days when they attended banquets, and he looked like a middle-aged man.On the side of the long table near the door, there are two chairs, obviously prepared for Shad and Iluna.

"You are Lord Farmer?"

Shad asked.

"Yes."

The sitting man replied, as he spoke, the unidentified souls around him began to agitate, but quickly calmed down again.

"I'm the owner of this manor. Isn't it a bit impolite for you to break into my house?"

The man asked while turning the face of the ring on his right hand with his left hand, while Xia De and Iluna walked in like this, opened the chairs and sat down separately, but there were hundreds of souls, and this was not a threat:
"Then I'm sorry for breaking into your house."

Xia De looked at him:
"No offense, I just want to ask you about someone. Mr. Thomas Granger, with whom the Farmers have had many correspondences, if my investigation is correct. I would like to know your correspondence, if I may." What is the content."

The middle-aged noble put his hands together on the table:

"Thomas Granger."

When saying this, the soul is expressionless.He's stronger than most spirits Shad has ever seen - except Thomas Granger in the Emerald Dream and the Mutant Wraith in the Boundary.Of the hundreds of souls that inhabit the house, this is undoubtedly the strongest individual:

"Yes, I do know him."

The soul's thumbs pressed each other's knuckles:

"About 70 years ago, he wrote to me to inquire about this manor, and asked for records about this manor. For this reason, I remembered that the family owned this property, and it happened that the kingdom sent soldiers to garrison here , I brought my family with me. At that time, I was thinking that maybe letters or relics of the ancestors could be found here, which might be useful to Thomas. A week after landing on the island, an infectious disease broke out and we all died gone."

He said this with a blank face, and Iluna quietly touched Shad with her leg, signaling him to be ready to fight at any time.

"You resent him?"

Xia De asked again.

"How could it be possible not to resent? If this good friend of mine didn't talk to me about this manor, how could our whole family die here?"

The baron's soul stared at Shad, with green flames faintly visible in the sockets of his eyes.The moonlight is now covered by the cloud that floats in, but the room is not dark at all, and all the souls are emitting a miserable green light:

"Did you know? This land is alive. Anyone who dies here will have their souls bound here forever and will be slowly swallowed by the earth. The land will draw power from all souls, so the more souls trapped here The more, the longer we can exist."

Xia De tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers:

"Why, you don't want to say that we have to leave one of the two of us before you are willing to tell me the location of those letters?"

"of course not."

The man shook his head slightly:

"I hope, both of you stay!"

There was a loud bang, the door behind him closed automatically in the strong wind, and the thick cloth curtains that should not exist covered the window with the sound of swiping.The soul wandering around seemed to have a body for a moment, and rushed towards Shad and Iluna with a horrible appearance of tragic death.

The miserable green fire illuminated the banquet hall, and the howling and crying were enough to make any determined person give up the will to survive.

"Silver Moon." / "Sun!"

The burst of gold and silver light radiated from the tide of the soul, and the holy and warm power directly melted the first batch of souls that rushed forward the fastest.And as Shad and Iruna stood up, two brass rings spun behind the two standing side by side.The life rings were so close that when they rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, dazzling sparks collided with each other amid harsh sounds.

The golden sun's rays and the holy silver's moonlight illuminated the enclosed space together, and those howling souls took the initiative to escape through the wall and quickly escaped without the two of them doing it themselves.

The soul of the baron on the other side of the long table looked at the scene before him in astonishment, as if the sun and the moon had really descended here.He also wanted to escape through the wall and go downstairs, but just his legs entered the floor, and the flying silver halo wrapped around his neck.

The movement of the soul suddenly stopped, and then several halos flew over his hands and legs.

Xia De stretched out his arm, and the chain of great sin pierced out like a long snake. After skimming the long table, it bound the baron who was completely immobile, and dragged him along the dusty long table like a dead dog. In front of Shad and Iluna.

Although the soul does not have the instinctive reaction of the body, the baron at this moment still feels his whole body trembling in front of the "sun" and "moon".He stared wide-eyed at the two of them, the spiky tail of the black chain was already pointing at his face, the cold metal feeling was not fatal, but the filth of the mortal sin was enough to break this soul.

"I believe that you are not the only one in this manor who can answer our questions."
