Whispering Poems

Chapter 1391 Sleeping Dragon and Greedy Soul

"Before, did Fiona have wings on her back?"

Seeing the little wings being pressed under the clothes, Xia De murmured suspiciously in his heart.

【No. 】

"She" gave the answer clearly.

"So, this is Fiona, Fiona, wake up."

Xia De didn't quite understand what was going on right now. He knelt on one knee on the soft quilt inside the tent and yelled a few times, but the sleeping girl had no intention of waking up.

So Shad apologized softly again, then grabbed Mia and brushed Fiona's nose with his tail, but she still seemed to be asleep.

[Touch her. 】

Xia De followed the suggestion and grabbed Fiona's slender wrist. Her arms were wrapped around the big tail passing through the two strands, so that the tail wrapped around Xia De's coat could be directly attached to the face. I slept soundly.

Fiona's skin was warm, and her body temperature seemed to be higher than normal, but Shad wasn't sure if it was because she fell asleep.And "she" also gave the answer:
[The power of the bloodline is growing. 】

"What do you mean?"

Xia De blinked suspiciously, and then understood:

"I remember that in the chapter on dragons in my textbook, it was written that giant dragons sublimate their bloodline power through deep sleep. Although Fiona is a half-blooded dragon, she does have dragon bloodlines. That's why, in the relative In the long sleep, grow those wings!"

Not only that, Xia De put his hand on her forehead again, and after feeling it carefully, he found that the power of "Moon Dream" also promoted the awakening of the blood power in sleep.According to the thaumaturgy materials that Miss Denist gave Shade, this thaumaturgy also has the ability to promote other sleep-like effects. I didn't expect the "hibernation" of dragons to be counted.

"But what now?"

The task of the tree father is to help the girl lost in Evernight City pass through the curtain. Xia De doesn't believe that he can go to the end only by carrying her on his back.But not to say that Xia De couldn't wake her up now, even if she could be forced to wake her up, Xia De would be worried that this would destroy the red dragon girl's bloodline awakening process.

If it is not in the Fifth Era, Xia De can find information about the sublimation of dragon blood, and use rituals and other means to promote the whole process, so that she can wake up early.But now the normal creatures in the entire city may only be Fiona, Xia De, and Mia who is crawling around under the quilt at this time, and even Xia De and Mia who came from the future may be considered normal. .

"This is going to be troublesome."

He dragged Mia out of the tent, who was slapping the dragon's tail with his claws, and retreated from it himself.With the idea of ​​taking one step at a time, he walked to the front desk of the art museum, planning to replace the last part of the compass, that is, the gold needle.Maybe wait any longer, and Fiona will wake up by herself.

The paint formula provided by Leiziya is named simply "Night Paint", which means that you can paint in the night.

In order to make it easier for Shad to carry, Old John made the finished product into a paste.When in use, as long as the paste is dissolved in hot water, the pigment can be diluted, and the painting effect is different with different concentrations.

Xia De opened the exhibit manual at the front desk of the Lengqing Art Museum, and found the item described as "the golden needle of the God of the Labyrinth - the Lost Goddess" according to the number of pages.The effect of this needle itself is that standing on the ground and shining it with sunlight or moonlight, the shadow can guide the direction.

And for Xia De, he lacks neither sunlight nor moonlight.

"I'm going to buy this."

He expressed his wishes to the exhibit manual, and a drawer popped up on the side of the front desk, empty.

"So how much does it cost?"

Xia De muttered, he didn't know the demand, so he collected as many materials as possible and asked Old John to do it.When he set off, he brought a full backpack of paste paint, but the tree father only let him bring three tubes in the end.

Shad then tried to throw the heaviest tube of paint into the drawer, which immediately closed automatically, but nothing happened.

Xia De looked around, and finally found a new line of text appeared at the bottom of the page "God of the Labyrinth - Golden Needle of the Lost Goddess" in the exhibit manual:
[Purchaser Shade Suren Hamilton, please go to booth No. 23 in exhibition area B154 to pick it up yourself. 】

The letter used here is of course not English, but is also the second letter in this script, so Shad sees it as "B".

"You want me to get it myself? Oh, let me just say, on the first page of this exhibition brochure, why do you say [Do not make loud noises in the museum!], [Do not damage the collections in the museum!], [Do not communicate with any museum collections!] The eyes of the items in the collection look at each other for more than ten seconds!] Three rules."

Only then did Xia De understand, and turned his head slightly to look at the slightly dark corridor of the art gallery.

He left the manual where it was, and grabbed the cat on his shoulder into his arms:
"It's very dangerous for a while. I'll turn you into a toy and put you away. I'll let you out when it's safe."

Mia yelled pitifully, but didn't resist.After finishing this, Xia De cast the spell [Moon Thorns] again to protect the sleeping Red Dragon girl, and then walked carefully to the interior of the art gallery.

The front hall of the art museum is connected to a straight corridor, and oil paintings are hung on both sides of the corridor, and there are quite a lot of oil paintings.There are not only portraits of normal characters, but also grotesque depictions of hell scenes, and more of them are monsters peeping out of the picture in the dark.

Gas lamps only exist on top of each oil painting, and the oil paintings are hung quite sparsely, which leads to the corridor being dark and light.Xia De strictly abided by the rules here, took a rough look at the content of the oil painting, then lowered his head and concentrated on looking at his feet.

He didn't tell "her" how to do it, and "she" never needed Xia De to instruct her to do things.Because of this, Xia De had no idea whether the characters and monsters on the oil paintings were looking at him when he was not observing.

Just like that, he came to the corner in silence. When Xia De passed by, the armor standing at the corner shook slightly, but it was only a shake.Xia De just pretended that he didn't see anything, and continued to walk a few steps forward, and saw three forks in front of him.

Metal identification plates indicate the name of each area.Among them, on the left is [Area: Oil Paintings and Statues Exhibition Area], on the right is [Area C: Ancient Books and Others Exhibition Area], and in front is [Area B: Gold and Silverware Exhibition Area].

Xia De chose the road ahead. After leaving the fork, the temperature suddenly dropped and the lights became dimmer.What lies in the gloom is not night, but some strange dark force.Even Xia De's inspiration can't judge what else is here, he just wants to leave as soon as possible.

Walking along the corridor to the exhibition hall, in the huge open square room, miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment, and whispering auras radiate and radiate each other.Xia De lowered his head to check the number on the booth, and quickly found booth No. 154 along the number.

It was a glass cabinet against the wall, in which there were red cushions and a signboard made of hard cardboard.The number is written on the sign, as well as the same description as in the exhibit manual at the front desk, and the golden pin is inserted into the cushion.Miracle aura is so powerful, not only far stronger than [Butterfly Calling Flute], even almost comparable to [God's Gift Box].

"This is it."

None of the cabinets here were locked, so Shade opened the cabinet sideways with a slight push and got the golden needle.

[Outlander, you have come into contact with the "miracle". 】

[Outsider, you have some insights into the "maze". 】

The "labyrinth" spirit rune is the easiest way to the thaumaturgic "mystery lock", which was mentioned in Professor Garcia's class.

After entering this exhibition hall, Xia De had been tense because of an unknown sense of crisis, but at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Turning around, I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but at this moment, I heard a man's voice from not far away:
"Hey, outsider, take me out too!"

He didn't want to pay attention to the voice, but the voice continued:

"I'm in the display case right in front of you!"

There was the only way for Xia De to go back. He took a few steps forward, and was surprised to see a man's golden head placed in a glass cabinet.And the sign in the cabinet reads:

[The head of the thief, collected here in 389 of the Fifth Era, contains a soul with the original sin of greed (treasure 3.2 moments). 】

[Since the establishment of Eternal Night City, the seventh sinner who has the courage to steal here, so it is worth collecting. 】

[Purchase requires payment of light. 】

"Treasures?"

Xia De recalled that he had been exposed to the evaluation criteria of sins in the relic [Sin Mansion] (Chapter 699).

From low to high, sin is divided into four grades: "flawed", "common", "perfect" and "treasure".Among all Xia De's sins, only the "gluttony" obtained by devouring the divinity of the [Lord of the Blood Feast] twice is a treasure, with 10.5 ticks.And Xia De's second-ranked sin is also greed, but it's only perfect 9.9 moments.

"Awesome, this guy actually has original sin at the treasure level? And men from the fifth era don't have extraordinary abilities. What has he come into contact with? Or is he so greedy?"

Xia De sighed softly in his heart, and then wanted to leave again, but the golden head stopped him anxiously.Presumably, these collections also abide by the rule not to make loud noises, so the sound is kept low.

Because there is a rule not to look into the eyes of any artwork here, Xia De did not carefully observe the details of his face.Just judging from the voice, this should be a man in his 30s:

"Help me, sir. You get me out, and I can always follow you. Not only do I know many secrets in this city, I also know information about many, many treasures in the material world. Take me out, I ask you I swear, I am willing to follow you until the end of your life."
