Whispering Poems

Chapter 1707 Hot spring and phantom at night
Xia De still didn't understand the appearance of the note. Whether it was the sister of the maid Clara who really left the clues, or the gods deliberately gave clues that should not appear in order to increase the fun of the trip.

But just like the gods said last time, they are just travelers, not detectives, so Xia De also understands that he doesn't have to understand everything.

"The ice crystals that appeared unexpectedly brought new challenges to the travelers. The angel gave guidance, the witch left the key, and the key opened a new map. The loyal dog was secretly saddened by the map, and the unicorn hated it. This is full of hope. Travelers set up camp at noon, so what are you going to do in the afternoon? Continue on your way to face new and unknown challenges, or climb the snow-capped mountains according to the guidance of the map to find the remote hope?"

The god asked everyone, and bards had no say in the practice, so he was waiting for others to make a decision.Of course both the witch and the maid wanted to find their missing relatives, so the beautiful brown-haired lady looked at Shad:
"Follow the map and continue walking. After leaving here, no matter what you want, I can give it to you."

"You say this as if I'm some kind of bad guy."

Xia De stroked the well-behaved cat, and asked the god again:
"Can travelers use that map to determine the approximate location of the destination, and use this to estimate the time it will take to get there?"

He did not forget that the night of the seventh day was the end of the trip.

"Yes, whether it's a parrot, a unicorn, a loyal dog or a traveler under the moon, they all have the ability to understand that map. The end point of the map is higher in the snow-capped mountains, and if you want to reach it, I'm afraid it will take Witness two complete sunrises and sunsets. There will be other unknown stories waiting for you in the middle, this is the story of the journey."

The story has developed to the noon of the fifth day, that is to say, if they follow that map now, they can reach the destination before the end of the journey.

The witch pursed her lips and looked at Xia De with more earnest eyes.She knew that Xia De also had someone he was looking for, but she didn't know if she would meet the person Xia De was looking for once she walked along this map, so she didn't know how to persuade Xia De to agree.

"Okay then, let's go along the map."

Xia De nodded, as long as the devil in the bottle did not lie last time, then Chloe must be on the snow mountain.If they can meet, they can meet no matter which way they go.Besides, judging from the current situation, even if they can't meet them, the God of Journey will let them meet them.

God made a gesture of invitation, and Shade reached out and turned over the next card above the pile.But before his hand touched the back of the card, he looked down at the cat lying on his lap.

The last time the cat was flopped, although it encountered a terrifying sandstorm in the desert, and even glimpsed some kind of indescribable thing as terrifying as the sun in the sandstorm, everyone benefited from it. Dunfayin] has also made great progress.

So he thought for a while, then grabbed Miya's paw and pressed it on the pile of cards.In the cat's dissatisfied cry, the card was turned to the front, which was a smoking hot spring in the snow.

"The traveler under the moon is as sensitive as a cat in the snowy sky. In the heavy snow, he actually led you to discover a snow mountain hot spring. It is not an ordinary hot spring. The same keen unicorn noticed it Its extraordinary power. Of course it is a blessing to encounter hot springs in the snow-capped mountains, but do you want to try its power?"

The dusty traveler asked, and the witch boldly asked:
"Excuse me, can we identify what it is without touching the hot spring?"

"Oh yes, the unicorn's horn has the power to discern curses and poisons."

God smiled and nodded, looking pleased that they had gradually figured out the secret of the story.

"So the unicorn stuck its horn into the spring."

The witch said, and then an illusory golden unicorn grew out of her forehead again.She immediately turned her head slightly, not wanting anyone to look carefully at her forehead.

"The unicorn's soul is infiltrated by warm power. Although it is slight, it is indeed powerful enough to heal the soul."

God gave the answer.

"After confirming safety, the travelers decided to accept the baptism of the hot spring in order. The most powerful unicorn came first, followed by her loyal hound. The traveler under the moon came in third, and the parrot was the last one."

Shad also said that this order is to prevent the men from entering the spring first-although the man in the story is only Shad, and the bard is a parrot.

After his words fell, everyone felt warm and comfortable.It was different from the warmth of the small fire next to the deck of cards at the moment. The warmth of the hot spring was more tolerant, completely clearing away the influence of the cold in an instant, and even made Xia De feel the comfort of his soul.

Shad and the witch Arella Andriana had strong souls, so they were less affected. However, the maid who had just become a witch and the bard who had always been an ordinary person groaned aloud. .

It was not a very lustful moan, but a long breath as if letting go of all the burdens in his heart.It's not obvious on the newborn witch, but on Mr. Enriquez, the bard, his whole figure seems to be at least five years younger.

If it weren't for the fact that he was only in his 30s, this effect might have been even more pronounced.

[Outlander, your soul has been cleansed. 】

"She" also reminded Xia De softly, but did not continue to say what effect it had, which showed that the effect was actually not obvious to Xia De.

So the fifth day of the trip came to night. Although Mia's "luck" seemed good, Xia De didn't let the cat draw cards, but signaled the bard Mr. Enriquez to do it.

From the excitement and fear at the beginning, the sadness and lamentation after the old knight left, to the present peace, this ordinary man from the fifth era seems to be the one who gained the most from this trip.

He put down the pen and paper in his hand and opened the next card.The card is very familiar, and it still appears many times, the scene of the small camp where everyone is currently.But what was different from before was that this time around the camp there were pairs of red eyes, no matter which era they were in, they were not kind eyes.

"On the night of the fifth day, the parrot selected a place for the travelers to camp. The bonfire and the tent let you relax a little, but soon you noticed the malice in the shadow of the snow mountain."

Pairs of red eyes really appeared in the misty jungle outside the camp in the Lost Forest in reality.Those dense eyes peeped at people, everyone was very vigilant, but the owner of those eyes did not really appear.

"The moon and the sun will protect you, so you are safe tonight. But malicious eyes will bring false illusions. Tonight everyone must face their own fears and insecurities. Although false, it is still terrifying."

This time when the voice of God fell, the scene did not undergo such a wonderful change. Everyone was still sitting in their original positions, but everyone saw a figure with red eyes coming out of the misty forest. .

Xia De, who was holding the cat, didn't know what others saw, but what he saw was the "self" he saw in the mirror at No. [-] Saint-Andres Square when he first came to this world.

It is worth mentioning that, in the nearly one year since he came to this world, although the height and weight of the foreigner have not changed much, his appearance has changed a lot.To put it simply, it's not just strength that captivates witches.

This change of appearance, according to "she", is due to the particularity of the soul of the foreigner and the powerful power of divinity, which transformed the original slightly ordinary face into the real appearance of the foreigner.And this kind of subtle change, no one can discover, they will only think that Xia De was originally like this, and this is the peculiarity of divinity.

But the outlander himself, of course, remembers the shock of seeing that face in the mirror for the first time, and therefore fully remembers what the original body looked like.

He didn't panic, but watched the person with the "red light" in his eyes getting closer.As the thing got closer, Shad saw more details.Although it looks the same, its body is a strange gray-black color as if it has faded, and it carries a shadow while walking, suppressing the light of the bonfire behind the god.

But this just shows that this is an illusion. If it is a real evil force, it is impossible to get so close to the god.

So, Xia De grabbed Miya's waist with both hands and lifted it up:

"Meow~"

Even though he had also seen the original appearance of the stranger's body, the cat immediately made a threatening sound.Xia De even felt that if it wasn't because he grabbed it, Mia would even rush up.

This cat is obviously so timid, but every time Xia De encounters danger, it will "stand up".The outsider liked this cat, and even thought about "snatching" it from Ms. Mia Gould forcibly regardless of his own principles, not only because the cat was beautiful. Of course, good looks also accounted for a large proportion.

The strange thing with red eyes stopped under the threat of the cat, and then the voice exactly like Shad came:

"Aren't you ever ashamed when you occupy my body?"

Shade, who was in a good mood because of the cat's loyalty, looked at him with strange eyes:
"Guilty? I'm not even sure if you ever really existed."

At the beginning, I would occasionally think about this question, but later I encountered more and more things, and I doubted this body more and more, so Xia De stopped thinking about it:

"I once called you in death, but you just didn't show up. All the traces of your past are vague, and all the evidence that proves your existence is actually suspicious. If you really want to ask why I became 'I' , then you must at least tell me, who exactly was 'I'?"
