Whispering Poems

Chapter 1871 The Sharp Knife of Words
Although only 10 minutes had passed in the 14-minute adventure, the light of the torch did not allow him to waste any more time.So Xia De followed the fireball to the tower quickly in the black mist, but saw the black shadow guarding the door blocking his and fireball's way.

The black shadow spread out his right hand to Xia De, while his left hand raised two fingers.

"Two coins to get in?"

Sombra nodded.

Xia De took a deep breath:

"Really, the coins earned in the Black Mist Camp will be spent here, and I won't let me take any of them out, will you?"

Even so, he handed out his last two coins.Soi Ying gave way to the door and opened the door for Xia De. The fireball flew in first, and Xia De followed behind.

The inside of the tower was also filled with black mist. The interior area of ​​this dilapidated tall tower was not large, and it was not the kind of tower that Mr. Edmond in Coldwater Harbor lived in, where people could live in it.Theoretically speaking, the area should be the first floor of the largest tower, but the stairs only take up a quarter of the ground area.

The stairs are also made of stone, but it still feels quite dangerous to step on.The spiral staircase led to the higher level of the tower, and as Shad stepped onto the first step, the torch in his hand was finally extinguished.

The momentary chill even made Xia De stop his movements completely. The black mist that was originally repelled by the light instantly engulfed him, and then receded a little because of the silver light on his body.

"Oh, it's so cold~"

Xia De stretched out his hand to support the wall to prevent himself from falling, and the numbness of his soul made his body even more rigid.The air exhaled from his mouth actually condensed into ice crystals in the air, and the negative emotions and thoughts that had appeared because of those two games just now became more obvious at this moment.

"Amplify the Power of Negative Emotions?"

He panted heavily, adjusted his state, and then leaned on the wall to continue upward with difficulty:
"If it's just such a trouble, at most it will slow down my progress, it's okay, it's okay."

The staggering footsteps made a heavy sound every time he stepped on the ground. Even though the light of the silver moon on the surface of his body was stable, Xia De gradually felt that his vision in front of him became blurred.

The sides of the staircase are not without ornament, and while there are no windows, blank picture frames appear on the walls at intervals.While the shaky Shade was half leaning against the curved wall to climb upwards, portraits of characters appeared in those empty picture frames.

"What do you think of us at the other end of time and space?"

A familiar voice came, and the dizzy Xia De saw a familiar figure appearing in the picture frame on the wall beside him.

Chloe, with long silver hair, stood in front of the snow mountain and asked Xia De under the frame.The unfettered silver hair swayed in the wind, and on the delicate face, the eyes seemed to directly see through Xia De's soul:

"It's just the first time we met in the Silver Mountains. When I met you, I missed my life. Do you know that you were waiting for me, but it was only a few weeks or a few months. I was looking for you, I was waiting for you, but I used up all my resources lifetime?"

In just a few words, Xia De, who was already a little distraught, really felt angina.Obviously after having [Heart of Stone], there will be no more problems with his heart.But hearing "Chloe"'s inquiry, hearing her inquiry that didn't ask too many questions but just explained the facts, he still felt the pain in his heart piercing his soul.

In a daze, on the night of the Randall Valley battle, the appearance of Haila wearing a black veil who was waiting for him in Oxenfurt Manor appeared before him again.Probably, the woman with the true "heart of stone" at that time was also hiding this feeling under the plain expression.

"I will definitely go to see you, to find you, even if it is a hundred years or a thousand years."

The fireball is leading the way, but the darkness is still deep.The staggering Shade continued to climb up while clutching his chest, his breathing sound was completely disordered, which represented the loss of control over his body.

And what awaits him in the next painting is someone he will never forget.

In the flower room full of flowers of various colors, the witches sat on the left and right sides of the table.The witch on the left has light yellow hair coiled up, wearing a long green dress, with yellow and silver crescent moon pendants hanging from her pointed ears.The witch on the right has long golden hair tied up and hanging from her left shoulder, and she is wearing a gorgeous purple dress, as gorgeous as violets.

Together with Miss Fianna, Miss Olanode watched Xia De who staggered against the wall and couldn't even straighten his waist in the oil painting:

"We, what exactly are yours?"

The oil painting is yellowed, and there are even traces of moths, but this does not affect the clear sound entering Xia De's ears:

"You in the forest of thousands of trees, in order to defeat the master of the blood banquet, you had to ask us for help, and you called us your teacher. But when you saw us at that time, in the dark corner of your heart, after all What do you think of us?"

Xia De's eyes were blurred, only the fireball and faint light and shadow remained.Instead of continuing to move forward, he leaned against the wall with difficulty and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the lady in the picture.

"You call yourself a teacher, but you have always used our help. When you stand in St. Byrence thousands of years later, can you still remember what you said? Shade Hamilton, what did you think of us? ?”

He leaned on the wall and tried to move forward. His legs seemed to weigh a thousand catties. After he fell suddenly, he wanted to get up again, but his body had lost the strength to do so.

Only a few minutes have passed since stepping on the first step, but the outsider feels that he can no longer walk.

Some of him missed the purple-eyed girl, some of the author and the princess, some of Galina, some of the cat.

Every part of his body was making him stop and rest, and the severe pain in his heart also gave him the idea of ​​turning around and leaving, no longer suffering from these tortures.But after all, he still lay on the steps, stretched out his hand towards a higher place, and continued to climb forward with difficulty:

"Although I feel guilty in my heart, I will never let them down. I won't, I won't owe you, I..."

Even the thoughts in my heart were interrupted due to exhaustion.Unable to stand up, he crawled and continued to move forward. His originally strong body was covered with bloodstains in just a moment. The pain could not make his consciousness clearer, but the familiar voice continued to come from the darkness.

At this moment, he was unable to stand up and look at the picture in the oil painting.But he knew that those were the voices of the witch of the Fifth Era, the Witch Emperor Miss Violet, and her niece, Miss Schultz Teresa, the president of the Serkses Higher Medical School at the end of the era:

"Do you really have feelings for us?"

The sound came from above, as if two women were standing on Shad's side, looking at him with disgust, and he could reach out and touch their high heels:
"You and us just met for a moment. What makes you think that the witches will fall in love with you at first sight, and what makes you think that we will always remember you?"

The third time the sound disappeared like the first two times, Xia De knew that he was about to die, and every time he moved his body, it seemed that he was powerless when facing a strong enemy again after fighting with all his strength.At this moment, lying on the steps, even puffing up the lungs to breathe, it is difficult to continue.

The voice in my ear disappeared, but the voice in my heart appeared one after another.

Some people are questioning how much Xia De's heart can be divided into; Angry, they wondered what kind of courage and guts Xia De had, daring to deal with so many girls without remorse or guilt.

"When you meet those brand new girls, when you talk to them for the first time, doesn't your heart ache?"

It was as if someone had directly stabbed a sharp knife into his heart, and it seemed that countless hands were holding Xia De's body, tearing his flesh off piece by piece.There was no abuse in those voices, just one question after another, constantly wearing down Xia De's soul.

"I"

He could no longer speak a word, and his physical condition deteriorated more seriously than imagined.The emotions in the magnified soul make the body, which is already difficult to maintain, completely out of control.

"Yuck~"

The vomited black blood merged with the dust on the stone steps, and still relying on the instinctive upward body, it finally stopped completely.

"I"

In my heart, I seemed to see myself who had just come to this world, when I went out for the first time, I leaned against the door panel of Plaza de Saint Teresa, panicked and even terrified because of the reality of all this.

Shad has seen the past, and he is equally aware of what he has done since then until now.

He breathed hard, adjusted his thoughts hard, and said what he wanted to say most in his heart at this dying moment.Of course he knew what he had done, and of course he knew what he had chosen.

Although he felt guilty, he never regretted it. Although he knew what he did was wrong, he swore that he would not let anyone feel sad because of him.

The violent vibration of the soul triggered a change in the ring of life.The four-color aura of gold, silver, brass, and black iron gradually lit up the dark steps of the tower, and the spirit rune that symbolized the [Great Sin] was brighter than all other spirit runes.

With trembling lips, Xia De said that sentence:
"I, I want it all! No matter who I provoke, I will take all the responsibilities. I, must, go to the end!"

The power that burst out from the soul miraculously allowed Xia De to support his body with his arms again, and then stood up little by little against the wall.

He moved forward step by step, and continued to climb after chasing the fireball in front of him while his eyes were almost completely blind and he held his last breath in his chest.
