Whispering Poems

Chapter 1603 The Blacksmith and the Key

"Mr. Watson, it's not that simple. It's your first time on the island, so you don't understand."

The short brown-haired girl with a cloth bag barely stood up, still refusing Xia De's help.

"I don't know how long it will take for this situation to end this time. Mr. Watson, we can't stop here. I don't know if there are other people on the island other than the two just now. You and I can't fight under the current situation." .”

She paused and asked:
"Do you have any rope on you?"

"some."

Xia De took out a thick set of sail cables from the inside pocket of his coat. This kind of rope is very practical in various scenarios, and of course he carries it with him.

"Now tie the rope around your waist, and throw the other end to me."

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Xia De still did it.Miss Pharmacist also tied the rope around her waist just like Xia De.At this time, the distance between her and Xia De is only about 1.5 meters, which is almost the limit state of vision in the fog.

"After my countdown is over, you and I will walk forward together, take three steps."

She called out the password as she spoke, and then stepped forward with Shad.Miss Pharmacist is tall and tall, and her pace is similar to that of Xia De.In the first two steps, Xia De was very clear that he was still walking on the path in the forest, but when he took the third step, the path under his feet disappeared, and there was actually a stone tombstone erected in front of his boots.Looking around again, in the hazy fog, there are many tombstones and graves surrounded by low black fences.

The whole scene transition process is quite smooth, as if the third step should have come here.

"In the case of losing the sense of direction, once you take the third step in the fog, you will appear in other places inexplicably. Flying, jumping or even crawling have similar results. But if you just want to wander in place, you don't have to worry about the third step limits."

The voice of Miss Pharmacist appeared beside her:

"The rope is the easiest way to connect yourself and your companions, otherwise even if we move forward together, there is a high possibility of getting separated."

"So that's why, even though more than 100 years have passed, the church still blocks this place. But what should we do now?"

Xia De felt more and more that this lady knew the island too well, and the information obtained in exchange for the half piece of orichanite had exceeded his expectations so far.

The cemetery in the fog was extraordinarily quiet. Although I came here by accident, there was no danger here.

"We can only wait. This is the Green Lake Town Cemetery. The townspeople of Green Lake Town and most members of the Edwards family will be buried here after death. We didn't go too far. This cemetery, this It's in the forest just now. But because it's far away from the town, and the road leading here is not very obvious, even if there are other islanders, it's hard to find this place. We can't try to keep walking, the more we walk indiscriminately , the longer it takes to lose your way."

"I can only wait? I have important things to do tonight."

Xia De sighed softly. Although the space here is confused, the flow of time has not gone wrong. It is now 04:30.Although he said that he might go back late, at least he must show up before 06:30.

"I can't help it. Even a ring warlock whose core spirit rune is [Space] can't find a way to leave by using [Space Perception] thaumaturgy."

The pharmacist said, looking at the cemetery in the fog with Xia De:
"Let's take a rest first. There are enough accidents on this island landing. Who knows what else will happen?"

"It can only be this way."

Saying that, Xia De went to pick out his pocket again.He didn't dare to light a fire here rashly, so he didn't take out the tent and firewood, but took out a tablecloth and spread it on the ground, and gave Miss Pharmacist a cushion, inviting her to sit down together.

"Thank you, that's really thoughtful."

The sorceress raised her eyebrows, and after thanking her softly, her attitude towards Xia De became a little better.Xia De really wanted to talk to Miss Pharmacist about the island again, but after the sorceress sat down, she closed her eyes and meditated first.

"Is there a way to leave? For example, use [Spatial Stability Aura]."

So he looked at the fog and asked in his heart again, after a while "she" said softly:
【a.The spatial composition of this island is very peculiar, which is already a natural phenomenon. 】

Xia De sighed, and looked at the tombstone erected beside him.

【Russell Enmill (1500-1563)】

[An excellent blacksmith and an excellent father. 】

The content on the tombstone is very short, because the life is too old, so there are no photos on the tombstone.Xia De had just glanced at it casually, but he didn't expect that when his eyes moved away from the tombstone, a floating soul actually appeared above the tombstone.

It was an old man who looked to be in his 60s, leaning on crutches, and his spiritual body was in a cloud-like form below the waist.It wasn't an evil spirit, and it didn't have the slightest malice towards Xia De, but it just so clearly appeared.

"what happened?"

He suddenly became alert.

"Don't do unnecessary things during the period when the fog is dissipating and you lose your sense of direction. During this period, you may encounter some weird things."

The lady pharmacist who opened her eyes warned, glancing at the soul:

"Encountering wandering souls is the most common thing. If you are interested, you can talk to him a few words, and he may be willing to give you some gifts or information. Of course, you can't guess the soul with the thinking of a normal person idea."

"Why haven't I heard of such things on the island from other places?"

"Because this kind of thing is very rare, and it is also a feature of this island. The rare things you encountered today, aren't there enough?"

What she said made sense, so Xia De asked the soul on the blacksmith's tombstone with interest:

"Hello, do you need help?"

The soul ignored him at all, so Xia De said again:

"Hello, I want to buy a kitchen knife from you."

The soul still did not speak, and the pharmacist lady beside him sighed:

"Most of these souls who don't know why they reside here have their own secrets. But it is quite difficult to know how to trigger their dialogue. Most of the soul-like thaumaturgy and spells are ineffective against them. They are affected by this piece of land. protection of the islands."

Although she said so, Xia De still tried with his own thaumaturgy "guiding death". The thaumaturgy that should have seen the memory of the soul, but this time saw a blank.But the nothingness is not completely empty. Before the effect of the thaumaturgy ended, Shad saw a key in the depths of his soul.

"I've said it all, the thaumaturgy of spying on the soul is ineffective against it."

The pharmacist's voice reached his ears, and Xia De looked at his hand in surprise.

"Speaking of which, guiding the thaumaturgy of death."

The thaumaturgy itself was offered by the Augustus priests, and is a fairly ancient death-like thaumaturgy.Xia De chose it at the time because [Guide to Death] was consistent with the intention of the "dark moon" represented by the silver moon. Later, it also proved that this thaumaturgy is very suitable for Xia De, although it cannot make him like the chosen one of death, Joe. Like E. Barton and the blind nun, he can directly see through the secrets of the soul, but it is also practical enough.

And after the decisive battle with Joey Barton on the waters leading to the end, his death-like thaumaturgy effect has been greatly enhanced.Coupled with the power of the "Angel of Death" contained in the "Witch Detection Badge" hanging on the chest at this time, the effect of the thaumaturgy [Guide to Death] is theoretically beyond the scope of normal thaumaturgy.

This is probably why Xia De was able to see the secret of the soul.

"But what does the key mean? Do I need a key to get the secret from him? Or."

Xia De thought in surprise, and signaled the sorceress to be quiet:
"I guess I know what to say."

"Are you sure?"

Miss Pharmacist asked suspiciously, but Xia De had already spoken:

"Blacksmith, I need to forge a key."

The brown-haired lady blinked, and then the blacksmith actually spoke:

"Please give me the materials: the bones without feet, the blood of the lord, the flawless amethyst, the flawless obsidian, the bones and teeth of the lord's wife, and the memory of the newborn."

Xia De listened quietly, while Miss Pharmacist stood up directly:
"Mr. Watson, can you see the secret of his soul?"

"I just saw a phantom of a key."

Xia De said, and asked her in surprise:
"What are you so excited about?"

"Do you know that since these souls residing in the mist are protected by this island, it means that they are closely related to this island. If you know their secrets, you may be able to know the secrets hidden by Edwards .”

"I'm not interested in Edwards' secrets and elixirs, I just want to know how many people are left in the Edwards family."

Xia De emphasized again, regardless of the excitement of Miss Pharmacist at this time:
"But now that you have encountered it, you can still think about it. There are no foot bones, fish bones are fine; the blood of the lord should refer to the blood of members of the Edwards family; flawless amethyst and obsidian are easy to understand, but this key is really expensive ;Finally, the skeletal teeth and memories of the lord's wife, which is difficult to deal with. For the former, I think this must be the teeth of a woman who has been confirmed as the lord's wife; for the latter, is it necessary to extract the memory of a certain corpse? Or other meanings?"

He thought about it, and said to Miss Pharmacist:

"If we want this key, we must at least dig the cemetery. So obviously, we may not be able to get the key he made this time. Even if we find the material later, it will be difficult for us to recover the key during the thick fog. Try your luck to come back here, and then try your luck for this ghost to appear again. Unless you stay in the cemetery when the island is normal, and then look forward to encountering the current situation again and again, but this will take a long time."

The sorceress also understood what Xia De said, the excited expression on her face disappeared, she nodded in disappointment, sat down on the tablecloth again, and watched Xia De try to communicate more with the blacksmith's soul.
