Whispering Poems

Chapter 1643 Night Song and Sandstorm

"The silver moon still shines on you. Walking in the desert makes you exhausted. In the cooling night, around the campfire and listening to the sound of gravel flowing on the sand dunes, you feel the openness of the world and the unstoppable nature. You can hear someone playing and singing the lute, but you don’t know who is singing.”

The dusty traveler sitting with his back to the bonfire paused, and asked the bard with a smile:

"May I borrow your lute?"

"Oh yes, my pleasure."

The bard hurriedly handed the qin beside him to the god, and the god signaled people to listen quietly, and then plucked the strings:
"Lost travelers gather around a bonfire,

Let's start a new journey together.

Pick off a piece of white chrysanthemum to bid farewell to them,

Mottled tree shadows guide the way forward.

The reason for departure is not important,
May they enjoy the scenery along the way.

The old horse on his way home will eventually find his lost relatives,
The boring parrot becomes the protagonist of his own writing,

The jealous dog is still faithful,
The ignorant unicorn looks at her lover.

Oh.
Nor forget the lonely moon traveler,
May he be able to see clearly the unknown way forward in the lost way.

through the forest,

cross the river,

deep into the desert,

May you sleep peacefully this night.

The future is still far away,
Only now everything is safe. "

The hoarse singing with a sense of vicissitudes floats in the quiet forest. Only the crackling bonfire is qualified to be the accompaniment of this performance.

Xia De, who activated the thaumaturgy "Sound of Music", recorded this short song, while the other three listened quietly, and everyone felt the peace of mind.Although the seven-day adventure was just a short story for them, when they heard this short poem, they felt that the story had come true without changing the surrounding environment.

Even Xia De was playing at the end, so he relaxed and didn't think about anything.Only the cat, who really had nothing to do with this trip, was wagging its tail boredly at this moment, wondering when Shad would become a cat again.

After the last note disappeared into the thick night, "she" reminded Xia De softly:

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

[The unknown traveler has glimpsed the secrets of space and the earth in the long past.He once tried to guide the lost in the wind and sand, but in the old dusk, he saw the end of himself and this world.Indulge in the process of traveling and enjoy the scenery of the journey.Because the end point is an extremely terrifying reality. 】

[You have listened to the story of the old god "God of Journey", and you have learned about the miracles of the old god "God of Journey". 】

[You have obtained the spell, Traveler's Camp.Consume a certain value of precious metals to generate a camp containing elements such as "tent" and "campfire" in a flat terrain area.Depending on the consumption of precious metals, regional effects such as detecting evil, recovering stamina, repelling wild beasts, and silent portals can be added. 】

"This is magic"

Spellcasting abilities with similar effects are actually not uncommon. At the end of Xia De's last adventure in Eternal Night City, the glass room where Miss Fei Lianna and Miss Olan Nord were in was suspected to be a temporary building obtained by casting spells.In the sixth era ring magician system, there are also abilities such as "Duncan's mansion" and "Miss Lilith's dressing room", but most of these thaumaturgy and spells can only be touched by high rings.

"Travelers fell asleep to the sound of songs. Although there was no vigil tonight, there was no danger. There was no dream. When the morning of the fourth day came, each of you was full of energy and energy. At the same time, the traveler under the moon In the singing last night, the reader realized the power of the journey, and the probability of encountering danger in the following nights will be reduced again."

The witch glanced at Xia De in surprise, but Xia De did not explain.

"The journey on the fourth day begins. The travelers who left from the hinterland of the desert came to the fork in the road again."

God signaled everyone to draw cards, and they drew three cards.This time it was Xia Delai who made the move. The three cards were the snow mountain, the dungeon, and the golden symbol symbolizing the sun.

The last one was drawn by Xia De holding down Little Miya's paw. He found that the cat seemed to have better luck than himself.

"The travelers looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, and saw the entrance to the underground secluded realm. At the same time, the traveler under the moon accidentally heard the gentle meow of a cat, which guided him to go deeper into the desert. You , where are you going?"

"Forget about the underground secluded area. The residents of the underground world probably won't welcome us. The underground is much more dangerous than the ground."

The witch said to Xia De, who nodded.Although there were very few rumors about the underground world in the sixth era, those incomplete history books still recorded the huge dark population living in the underground world in the fifth era.

They are the descendants of fearsome and dangerous creatures left over from the dark and tumultuous Fourth Age.

"As for going to the snow-capped mountains, or continuing to go deep into the desert, you decide. But don't forget, the giant spirit in the colorful bottle said that the person you are looking for is on the snow-capped mountains."

The witch reminded again, and Xia De looked down at the cat who was staring stupidly at the three cards in front of him.

He didn't decide immediately, but asked the bard:

"Where do you think we should go?"

The bard didn't expect that he could also express his opinion. He held the qin that the god had just played and thought about it carefully:
"I prefer snow mountains. Snow mountains are safer than deserts, at least in my impression."

Clara, the witch's maid, does not express her opinion, she is a girl of few words.Xia De frowned again and thought for a while, and at this time, there are only the last 5 minutes left before the end of this time:

"If travelers choose to listen to the cat's whisper and go deep into the desert, can they still go to the snow-capped mountains?"

He was still very curious about the "sun" symbol, after all, it was drawn by a cat.And every card drawn on this seven-day trip seems to be related to the card drawer. Although Xia De doubted whether Mia was a normal cat again, he still wanted to find out.

"Yes, the snow-capped mountains in the distance are majestic and majestic, travelers can continue to observe it."

"Then go deep into the desert."

Xia De looked at the witch and the bard, neither of them objected.

"The gentle meow of a cat guides the travelers to continue in the desert. The scorching sun is baking your skin, and the unknown danger has come quietly. It is not a dangerous worm in the sand, nor is it a sleeping An ancient and unknown existence in the desert. The desert is showing you its power, and you have encountered a sandstorm."

Before the voice of the gods fell, Xia De immediately hugged the cat and rushed towards the bard who knew nothing, and plunged the moonlight sword into the ground in his hand:
"Sign of Heaton!"

At the same time as the shield emitting golden streamer appeared, the originally black sky had been dyed a terrifying dark yellow.The ground was shaking, and the damp, rancid smell in the air was swept away and turned into a dry smell.

Endless sand and gravel rushed towards them at this moment, the camp had disappeared, and there was a sandy field full of yellow sand around Xia De and the four animals.

"Come here!"

The Great Sin Chain flew out from Xia De's cuff, passed through the golden shield, and flew towards the white light in the rolling yellow sand.

He heard the distinct sound of the unicorn, and felt his chains touch something.Afterwards, the unicorn exuding pure white light protected the hounds around it with its body, and followed the chain with difficulty to the vicinity of Shad and the bard.

The normal size of Xia De's "Seal of Heaton" can only protect two or three people at most, and the size of the unicorn is obviously too big.No way, he could only choose to pay for the extra spirit beyond what was needed for thaumaturgy, and let the expanded shield include the unicorn.

In addition to Shad casting a spell to protect the unicorn and hounds, the witch who already roughly knew how to use the unicorn's power allowed the white light on the unicorn, which symbolized protection, to also merge into Shad's Seal of Heaton.

As a result, more complicated runes appeared on the shield emitting golden light.At the same time as the sand and gravel hit the shield and made a continuous and terrifying sound, the ultimate light appeared from the distance of the sandstorm, as if the hot sun was outside the sandstorm.

Infinite light and heat, completely ignoring the protection of the [Seal of Heaton] descended on everyone.At that moment, Xia De even felt that his body had melted, and his soul had turned into light and merged with the sun.

He couldn't hear any sound, couldn't see any sight, let alone what happened next.Under the light and heat, he seemed to have turned into a sunshine gun thrown from Iluna's hand, falling continuously from infinite heights until he crashed to the ground.And the consciousness also recovered at the moment of falling to the ground.

"Oh my god!"

He clutched his forehead and got up from the wet ground, and found that the scene of the sandstorm had ended, and the existence with infinite light and heat in the distance of the sandstorm had also disappeared.

The wind blew in the forest under the night, the wind could not remove the mist, but made Xia De, who was covered in sweat, feel cool. At this time, the traveling god sat opposite him with a smile, and the bonfire was crackling. The sound made the foggy woodland seem even more silent.

The bard also just woke up, but when he got up from the ground, he cried out in pain, covering his left eye and weeping continuously, Xia De felt a slight element trace from his left eye;
The spirit and elements of Miss Witch Andriana are quite chaotic, and the golden light mark on her forehead directly left a real imprint, Xia De can feel that she has become stronger;
As for the maid in the black dress, Clara, her hair, which was originally just a shawl, had grown to her waist at this time, and her whole body seemed to be growing taller, and the freckles on her face had completely disappeared.
