Whispering Poems

Chapter 1853 Afterglow After Era
"The original era was hundreds of millions of years long. Humans, elves, dwarves, giant dragons, orcs, all races walked the land, and splendid civilizations blossomed and bore fruit. The thirteen ancient gods and those lucky ones who touched the supreme Living together in the sky, but occasionally intervening in human affairs as saints, spellcasters of various talents and occupations willfully explore the potential of soul and flesh, record and create new knowledge, and pursue the mysteries of the world and the meaning of life. The vast The world is far larger than today's material world, and even in the void outside the world, there are still countless small worlds composed of solid fragments."

He took a deep breath:

"People today can't imagine all this, can't imagine the prosperity, splendor, and splendor of the original era when even I can only peek into a corner. But everything is gone, everything is gone. Outside the world Become a real void, the gods left to sleep, even if they still exist, they no longer look at the sad mortals. The superhumans no longer have the power of the past, and the civilization of mortals has degenerated from generation to generation. Even those magical races, Gradually disappeared in time and space, leaving only the last reverberation still echoing in the corner."

"so."

Shad asked:

"The time in the first era is longer than all subsequent eras combined? Yes, I have heard of this."

The soothsayer looked at him with sad eyes:
"Or can it be said that the old days of the first era are the real normal era. After that, from the second era after the ancient gods have left, is it already the reverberation of the old days and the afterglow before the end?"

The two looked at each other, the Seer nodded slightly to Shad, turned around and left through the door.The footsteps went away, leaving only Xia De under the reflection of the bonfire, silently thinking about these untrue information:
"This world"

According to the agreement, Edwards' "ancestor" did not prevent Shad from leaving the island.When Shad jumped out of the window onto the street, what he saw was the familiar tentacle man, that is, Sloth Edwards, who was transformed into a tentacle evil because of fear of death, manipulating the giant tree above the town. Ordinary groups of tentacles growing from the ground prevent the space distortions that appear on the island from destroying the town.

For Sloth Edwards, who possesses both spatial abilities and a body that seems to be indestructible forever, it is only a matter of time before these things are destroyed.Because of this, Xia De did not encounter monsters to intercept him on the way to leave.

He returned to the pier on the north shore of the island along the original road. The doctor's coffin had disappeared, and he and Lacia should have left the range of the white mist.However, Xia De did not leave immediately, but plunged into the water on the trestle bridge of the pier, and then stuck to the bottom of the water, starting from the pier, swimming clockwise along the waters on the edge of the island.

Because Luvia provided a specific location, Shad, who was also moving quickly under the water, soon discovered a strange place with a faint green light under the waters in the northeast of the island.

After approaching, I found a sunken ship lying on the bottom of the water. It was a small wooden boat, about the size of the broken wooden boat that Shade could summon.The ship broke in two from the center, and at the break, there was the dark green light that Shade saw in the distance.

The light had no substance, it just seemed to be shining.And when Xia De moved over, he saw two water ghosts suddenly appearing from the bottom of the boat, and he realized that the light was the bait that the water ghosts used to attract their prey.

The two monsters were not dangerous to him, and Shad led them aside before killing them, so as not to pollute the waters.After returning to the broken wooden boat, he was troubled that he could not see the soul of the boatman.

Although the island is full of residents from the Green Lake Town era, these souls can only be fully observed when the space is chaotic.Xia De could wait at the bottom of the water, but he was afraid that the doctors would worry about him.But just leave, and worry about other situations.

"Then take them all."

Even if most of the souls on the island stayed because of the angel-level relic [Soul Storybook], they all meet the main characteristics of souls that cannot leave, that is, they must rely on a certain item or a certain place and exist.

For example, the old woman who married into the Edwards family at the old tomb of the lighthouse and the blacksmith in the small town cemetery are all attached to their own tombs, and the mineralogists are old oil paintings.There was no way Shad would be able to move the entire lake, so he planned to take the remains of the wreck with him.

Because he was worried that turning the shipwreck into a toy rashly would affect the souls that have not yet appeared, so he even patiently dug out the hull from the bottom of the lake first, and after sending them to the surface, he threw away the fish he picked up from the bottom of the lake. Skeleton, summoned his old wooden boat.

The fragments of the wreck were placed on board, the two main pieces tied with ropes, and pulled by Shad's boat away from the island.

Thaumaturgy - [Calling the Old Wooden Boat] The boat summoned has no sails, let alone a steam engine as a power source, but it does not need Shad to row, and it can move in the direction Shad wants at a moderate speed.

Xia De then stood at the bow of the boat, watching the fog in front of him get thinner as the wooden boat moved forward.However, he was surprised to notice that the fog was almost cleared away on the water channel that the ship sailed through, leaving a blank area without fog.Only when the boat is far away, the white mist will fill the gap that was repelled.

"And why?"

Xia De thought in his heart, and gradually he was able to see the lights of the village by the lake in the distance through the white mist:
"This little ship, related to the one in 'True Death,' apparently has powers I haven't discovered yet."

After successfully leaving the white mist area, the number of souls lingering in the night mist above the lake has increased.Looking into the distance, although he didn't see anyone supporting him on the lake, the red butterfly pendant on his waist was already shining.

The boat continued to move forward. Not long after, there was nothing on the lake, and Megan and Audrey's cruise ship appeared out of thin air.Not only the doctor and Rezia who were waiting for Shad, the owner of the cruise ship, Megan, but also Miss Galina and Tifa were on board.

Leiziya was still wearing the dress she was going to wear when she was going on a date with Xia De, but she was wearing a women's coat at this time.The red-haired duchess stood beside her grandniece, looking at Shad, who was looking up from the bow of the boat.The two looked at each other, and Xia De actually felt that he understood the helplessness in the latter's eyes.

Although she had conflicts with Rezia in the past, she still cared about her brother's offspring sincerely, and never thought that Rezia would be involved in the matter of the chosen one.

Seeing that there was still something dragging behind the boat, Megan signaled to the girls in Central under her command to go to the surface of the water and help Xia De move the wreckage of the broken ship to the deck of the cruise ship.

When Xia De also came to the deck, Leiziya was the first to step forward and hugged him, and she refused to let go no matter what.The doctor leaned against the deck fence, and gave Shad a reassuring gesture.

The cruise ship returned silently and sailed towards the junction of the Duin River and Green Lake.Grace and Helen had already gone back, and before leaving, they entrusted Dorothy to deliver a letter to Shade as a farewell letter, but Dorothy did not follow, but at this time they should also know that Shade returned safely.

Mia, who was supposed to stay in the hotel and be taken care of by Dorothy, was actually hugged by Tifa at this time, in the arms of the black-haired maid lady, and stared at Xia De with wide eyes, as if hoping that Xia De would hold her in her arms. The girl and the cat in Tifa's arms exchanged.

As for Xia De himself, he hugged Rezia who refused to let go, and looked up at the vision in the night sky:

"The changes in the space are increasing, and the ceremony of the chosen ones in the space must be held as soon as possible. Tonight is just the beginning before the final stage of the changes, but it is also the beginning of the decisive battle. We must do it as soon as possible."

He thought of what the fortune-teller on the island had said just now, thinking in his heart that he might have to talk to him again.

"Church, should be able to clean up these things?"

Miss Galina and Megan personally moved the wreck of the important boat to the cabin using spells.The doctor pointed to the sky, Xia De nodded:

"Doctor, don't underestimate the church. If they can't even handle this, what else will they use to maintain order in the material world? Let's go back."

Another thing came to mind:

"Besides, even if the church can't handle it, it's not our turn to intervene. Someone else can solve this trouble, and he should have arrived."

At the same time, at the Green Lake Railway Station, the arriving trains had already stopped steadily. Passengers with large and small luggage, even though they were dusty, were still very interested in this city where major negotiations were taking place.

Leaving the train station, I saw the night sky shrouded in thick fog again. The voices of discussions added a bit of vitality to this quiet night.However, the patrolling police and an unknown team soon persuaded them to return to their residences as soon as possible. At the same time, rumors of possible martial law tonight also made the guests who didn't know the city a little flustered.

The guests leaving the station quickly integrated into the city, and behind them, the old man who didn't want to be crowded with others, the old priest in white robes, finally walked out of the station gate and came to the quiet street.

The inexplicable flickering lights of gas street lamps made everything on the street dark and unclear. The phantom of the soul peeped at him in the darkness, and the power of death was being aroused by inexplicable power.

The cold night wind blew, causing the priest's robe to swing back and rustle.There seemed to be countless terrifying faces in the swirling fog above the head, and in the shadows of the street, there were more and more shadows that could not be seen clearly.

The elderly Ratt Augustus put down his luggage and looked up at the starry sky.

In the wind, there seemed to be more sound of flapping wings, but it seemed to be just an illusion.
