Whispering Poems

Chapter 1872 Top of the Clock Tower
The sky was spinning, as if the tower itself was shaking violently.Holding on to the wall, the familiar voices in my ears disappeared one after another, and those familiar figures no longer appeared in the oil paintings on the wall.It seemed like many, many years, and it seemed like just a few minutes, Xia De, who was propping up the wall and moving forward, finally saw the fire light appearing above the rotating stone steps, and he knew that he had finally arrived.

Xia De didn't want to think about whether those tortures were what he thought in his heart, or something was really imitating their voices.If he had encountered this kind of problem a few weeks ago, he would probably have really lost here.But he already understood his own thoughts, and he also admitted his meanness and greed.Now that I have done wrong things, I will use my whole life to make up for them, just like what I promised to Leiziya in the hotel yesterday afternoon.

Even holding on to the wall, the body could barely move.He tried his best to walk the last few steps, but at this moment, he felt someone pulling his clothes lightly from behind.It was just a slight pull, but it seemed that the power was extremely heavy.

The man behind asked:
"This time, you really made up your mind. You will never be confused or regret it again. Do you want to give happiness to everyone?"

It was Luvia's voice, but when I listened carefully, it was clearly not the voice of a single person, it was the superposition of countless familiar voices, and then I asked this question.He can think of many familiar faces, and the many stories he has experienced with them so far:

"I am you, loyal knights."

He answered in a low voice.

"Then, keep your word."

The force of pulling the hem of his clothes disappeared, and Xia De looked back, only to see the dark stairs shrouded in black mist.There was no one there anymore, Xia De knew that those people had been taken back into his heart by him.

[Outlander, your soul has become stronger. 】

[Your resistance to illusion has been greatly enhanced. 】

He stared blankly behind him, then pursed his lips and continued to climb upwards, feeling his body relax with every step he took.When Xia De came to the end of the steps, the top of the tower, he even felt that he had completely returned to normal.

Not only did he return to normal, the ubiquitous coldness of frozen souls in the camp completely disappeared, and the black mist that had become thinner due to the appearance of the fire on the top floor could no longer obstruct his sight.

Because his body recovered so quickly, when he stepped on the last step and came to the flat ground, he even felt that his feet were light and light as if they were fitted with springs.There was no visible damage to the body and soul, and it was even more pleasant than holding Mia at the window and looking at the sunrise after waking up from a good night's sleep.

Although Xia De himself felt very good, his appearance really surprised Miss Higgins.

This tower of unknown height is a bell tower, but it is not a bell tower with complex mechanical devices like Tobesk, but an old-fashioned bell tower with only one copper bell.

The area on the top floor is not very large. The copper bell rolled down to the side, and there is a huge window on the wall that slopes slightly inward from bottom to top to facilitate the transmission of the bell.

The huge copper bell rolled down to the side of the wall, and the center of the top floor where the copper bell was originally located, now there is a cluster of burning bonfires, and the flames are exactly the same as the cluster of flames outside the black mist camp.

Miss Higgins was standing by the campfire, and Mrs. Miles was sitting by the fire, and there was a dark shadow that was hard to spot in the corner.

The Witch was frightened by Xia De, not because of his sudden appearance, but because of his tragic state at the moment:

"What's wrong with you? Are you all right?"

Although Xia De's body and soul seemed to have experienced an illusion without any damage, the plaster stained on his clothes and skin, as well as his own blood, would not disappear by themselves.

Because his head had just returned to normal, he hadn't realized how miserable he looked. At this moment, seeing Miss Higgins approaching with concern, he finally realized that something was wrong.

He lowered his head to look at the front chest, and then looked at the traces of his arms and sleeves by the light of the fire, and knew in his heart that the suit was ruined.

"It's okay, but please let me rest."

Although the injury has recovered, but the heart is really tired.Under Miss Higgins' worried eyes, he came to sit by the fire with Mrs. Miles.It was difficult for Miss Higgins to recover her spirit here, so instead of treating Shad herself, she selected a bottle from the few potions left with her and handed it to Shad:
"Soothing, you need this."

Xia De thanked him softly, and after drinking the mint-flavored potion, he really felt much better.

The black scales stood by the fire at this moment, and Miss Higgins and Mrs Miles had carried a little bag with them when they went deep into camp, containing things that might be of use.

Without asking the witch, Xia De talked about his experience just now.From winning the bet to liberating the boy's soul from the demon, to the strange items he encountered in the camp, to the crisis at the lighthouse, of course, he didn't have the nerve to say in detail what he heard and saw.Although you can see yourself clearly, there is no need to tell others.

"That's it"

Embarrassed, Miss Higgins pointed to the bonfire:
"The demon outside the camp did not lie. We did come here according to its guidance. In this tower, there is a way for us to leave the camp, but we haven't found it yet. When Mrs. Miles came here , it’s almost dying, and the torches in our hands were about to go out at that time, and there was no bonfire here.”

Xia De understood clearly and looked at the black figure standing in the corner:
"What did you trade with it?
"The shadow in the tower is quite unusual. You will never guess what goods it has in its hands, but you can go and see for yourself in a while. It sells bonfires that can be laid on the top of the tower. I think Mrs. Miles was really If it’s not enough, I made the transaction on my own. However, most of the special commodities that this shadow peddles can’t even be traded with coins. The price of this cluster of bonfires is five coins, plus a complete exchange A test of the heart."

Miss Higgins pursed her lips with an apologetic expression, and Mrs. Myers said for her:
"She thought that once she left the light of the bonfire, she would face a test, so she was too scared to move here. Not long ago, she noticed that the number of coins on her body was missing two coins, and she knew you were here, so she wanted to wait for you Find it, and discuss how to deal with that test. I just didn’t expect it.”

"I didn't expect that I paid the money, but the test fell on you."

The witch, who has brown hair similar to Audrey and Megan, apologized formally to Shad:

"I'm really sorry, I'm very sorry, I really didn't know this would happen. When we leave, I will give you one-tenth, no, one-fifth of my future Mithril mine, please forgive me."

However, Xia De understood that this innocent disaster was definitely not caused by the witch in front of him.The camp rule is that whoever buys something pays, and the test of Miss Higgins fell on him, which can only show that there are "people" who are "joking" with him:
"It's okay, I don't want your mithril mine. However, if this can be taken away, it will belong to me."

Xia De said, and then pointed to the small black balance.Whoever is joking with him will know in a while.As for the black balance, it came from everyone's first transaction.Although only a common item, it is very important in the camp.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Miss Higgins immediately agreed, and Mrs. Miles at the side also breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was quite happy.

As for the current situation, the relic that can summon the soul only by writing down the last memory - [Golden Memories] was brought here, so they only need to find a way to leave here. it's over.

Now that Xia De appeared again, Miss Higgins suddenly felt that the trouble was at least half solved:
"You'll help us, won't you?"

Although a little embarrassed, she still asked.

Xia De nodded:
"It is definitely impossible to leave here by ordinary methods, but I know that there is one who can send you away safely. However, after the final story of Mrs. Miles is over and the soul who has not returned home for a long time appears, we will discuss how to leave thing."

Miss Higgins nodded with a smile, but before the old man's last memory began, Xia De went to the dark place in the corner to find out what the other party could sell.

It's just that the black shadow didn't move when facing the approaching Xia De, even if he picked up the scale, there was no reaction.

The young witch was puzzled by this, and Mrs. Miles didn't know what happened.But Xia De understood:

"These are not important, Mrs. Miles, please start the story."

The old woman took out her notebook, and then took out the ink mixed with blood and gold powder.Miss Higgins also came to the bonfire and sat down, asking curiously:
"Ma'am, I remember you said that you and your lover, Mr. Richard Knight Jackman, parted ways at the intersection of the small road in front of the village. So is the last memory about the parting time? "

The old Mrs. Miles shook her head, with a smile on her face flushed by the firelight:

"When we parted, it was not only me and him, but also other people who saw off. When he received the order from the lord to recruit and decided to participate in the distant battle as a knight, he once told me about his decision alone, and told me alone Say goodbye."

"Where is that?"

The young witch asked again. Although she had never felt love before, she was really curious about it.

"That was a long time ago, too, but I remember it very well. It was in the bell tower too, yes, like it is now. Our village is very populated, and the bell tower in the village has existed since I was born. The bell tower is the The highest position, when I was a child, I used to play in the bell tower with my friends."
