Whispering Poems

Braving the rain, Xia De, who was soaked all over his body, gradually walked out of the river, turned into a red butterfly and flew into the middle of the water outlet that was still spitting water, and then turned into a human form and walked inward.The water outlet is so huge that even if Xia De stands up straight, he won't touch the top of his head.The water came almost up to his knees, but Shad didn't care.

After walking inward for more than ten steps, he stopped at the reminder of "her".Close your eyes and use "Enhanced Spatial Perception", then open your eyes again, there is actually a metal box decorated with gold in the huge pipe that originally only had water flowing.

The box looked like a typical "treasure box". It was not only made of gold, but also decorated with diamonds and various gemstones on the surface and joints.Even if you just take a look at it, you will know that there must be an incredible treasure in the box.But correspondingly, such an exaggerated shape will only appear when the opera troupe performs.

The box was almost completely submerged in the current, with only the top sticking out of the water.The constant washing didn't rust or corrode it, it just let some of the trash that had flowed by flow around the box.The surface of the cabinet is still smooth, which is the luster of wealth.

Amidst the huge crashing sound of water, Xia De frowned slightly and took a step back. Then the thunder in his hand exploded, and the dazzling spear formed by the silver-white thunder was thrown out by him:
"Thunder Gun!"

Thaumaturgy bombarded the box head-on, and then just as Xia De thought, the box whose surface was dented by the bombardment of the thunder gun immediately "bounced".

Xia De watched two slender legs appear under the box, supporting the box to stand up, and let the box get out of the running water.On both sides of the box, slender arms stretched out, waving randomly in the air.

The lid snapped open, but instead of gold and silver treasures inside, sharp teeth and a thick bright red tongue were exposed.With two slender legs as its legs and the treasure chest itself as its body, this humanoid creature opened its mouth wide and waved its slender hands towards Shade.

"It turns out it's you, the clerical relic - the Mimic."

This is a relatively well-known humanoid relic. Xia De once saw this kind of thing on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" together with Leiziya, who was aliased as "Miss Prince".

The characteristic of [Treasure Box Monster] is that it turns into a treasure chest to attract people to open it, and then takes the opportunity to eat the attracted people.

But different monsters have different behaviors.For example, the one on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" just blocked the only way to pass through the cabin corridor, while the treasure chest monster in Green Lake City used hidden space gaps to hide, and then kept throwing "treasures" outward , attracting people to come to find the source of the treasure.

If Xia De guessed correctly, those who came to hunt for treasure should have been eaten by it.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Shade took a step back and disappeared, allowing the monster that opened its arms to "hug" him to pounce.

Shade, who appeared behind the Mimic, did not launch an attack, but instead threw two "Sin Chains" at the monster.The sound of chains clattering was buried in the sound of water. One of the chains was nimbly dodged by the slender-legged monster, and the other chain collided with the thick bright red tongue that popped out of the box mouth.

The impact sound was not loud, but to Xia De's surprise, the monster's tongue actually flicked off the [Great Sin Chain], and this was the first time that the chain was completely flicked off.But thinking that his [greed] came from this thing, and that relics like the Mimic Monster seemed to be sin in themselves, Shade was not very surprised.

The monster turned around and rushed at him again. Xia De stood there holding his breath, counting one, two, three in his heart:

"Moonlight Great Sword!"

With both hands held in emptiness, he stabbed forward, and the silver sword that appeared out of thin air pierced through the "mouth" of the treasure chest and pierced the chest.As a relic, this monster itself is extremely difficult to destroy.Apart from attacking after hypnotizing it into a deep sleep like Rezia did in the past, its only weakness is its mouth.

However, Shade only had the second ring when he was in Coldwater Port, and he was able to deal with it with Lesia's cooperation. The battle at this time was certainly not difficult.

The great sword turned into dots of silver light and dispersed into the air. The monster's slender limbs and the treasure chest itself turned into lime gray, and then scattered into a pile of dust like sand sculptures, blending into the water.

plop~dangcang~
Continuous jewels and gold and silver jewelery fell into the water along with the sand. These are the treasures contained in the "mimic monster" itself.In fact, after killing such monsters, you can get their treasures in most cases.The last time we were on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship", it was obvious that the pirates had looted all the monsters' treasures in advance, so there was no harvest at that time.

"These things have whispering elements attached to them, which will magnify people's greed. They must be disposed of before they can be sold, huh? Not just ordinary items?"

He looked at the shiny "hills" piled up in the water, squinted slightly, bent down and put his hand into the water, pierced into the jewels, and finally took out a key:
"The time key."

Put the key away, then take out the handkerchief from your pocket, turn the handkerchief into cloth and cover the jewelry.Because they have the whispering element attached to them, turning them into toys costs slightly more souls, but Shade doesn't care.

He pocketed the toys in his hands together, straightened his waist and put the toys away, but was startled suddenly, and saw that there was an object under the slightly turbid water that hadn't been turned into a toy.

To be precise, it was not an object, it was a playing card lying under the water, but it was not damaged:

"What? This is"

Even Shade, who didn't have much emotion when he blew up the tavern just now, held his breath.He sensed his surroundings, confirmed that it was not a trap, and quickly bent down to pick up the card from the water. Then he realized that the card was not damaged in the water because the card was embedded in the center of a transparent glass plate.

Gently shake it a few times to shake off the water droplets on the glass plate.Then I saw that on the face of the card, the man whose face could not be seen clearly turned his back to the outside of the card, holding a book in one hand and pointing to the inside of the card, while the background of the card was the grotesque glowing bubbles in the infinite black starry sky.

Xia De controlled his trembling hands, took a deep breath, and looked up the card again.

I saw the number 10 marked on the upper right corner, and the very familiar small sign of "Moon" in the upper left corner.Between the two, that is, in the center of the front of the card, a black vertical line is drawn in the white circle, which is the logo of the "Founding" series.

Then he moved his gaze to the bottom of the card, where there were a few lines of small characters written:

[After drawing this card until the stop stage, you can choose whether to activate the effect only once: throw a coin, if it is heads, make the opponent discard the first card and the last card at this time, and draw a new card; if it is tails , exchange your first card with any non-"Moon" suit card shown by your opponent. 】

"The effect of space is forced exchange."

Turning the glass plate over to the other side, it turned out to be the familiar pattern on the back of the Rhodes card.Then with a slight exertion of his fingers, the glass of unknown age was completely shattered.

Glass shards fell into the water and were washed into the Duin River by the current.Xia De squeezed the cards in his hand, waited for a while, and the "she" next to his ear laughed softly:
【Authentic. 】

The stranger's back was facing the pipe exit, so the thin sunlight that barely penetrated the dark clouds could not illuminate the smile on his face at this moment.

Since passing this card in the Lost Forest in the fifth era, to the eve of the decisive battle in Green Lake, [Vientiane Impermanence·Space] has come to Xia De's hands in a completely unexpected way.

He raised his hand and placed the card in front of his right eye.Looking ahead again, I saw no abnormality.Xia De was not disappointed by this, but dried his hands, carefully took out his deck, and then replaced the Moon 10 [Original·Space] into it.

He turned and looked at the exit of the pipeline a dozen steps away, looking at the city across the river, feeling that his exploration of the Green Lake area was finally complete.

Xia De believed that the smile on his face must not be concealed, because when he returned home after throwing the glass slipper, and then appeared from the underground of the hotel, the girls he met could see that he was very happy at this time.

"Shade, you're back? Huh? Why are you so happy?"

When they met Miss Aurora and Miss Galina who were talking on the first floor of the hotel, the two also asked Shad, who was brisk on his feet, what good things happened.And when Xia De showed [Creation·Space] and told about the boy and the monster, the red-haired duchess raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and then thought of the divination last night:

"Is she really so accurate in divination?"

The rain is still so heavy, and when people are preparing for a big event, they will find that time passes at the same speed as the raindrops falling, which can only be felt but not touched.

The time soon came to five o'clock in the afternoon, because the invitation letter only said tonight, but not the specific time, so everyone had already discussed that after five o'clock, Laplace Klein Howard would be at any time. There may be times for "forced invitations".

The clock in the corner on the first floor of the hotel rang five times, and Agelina was left as an ordinary person. In the Green Lake Hotel, everyone started to act. Although Mr. Soren Green is not a ring warlock, he is definitely not ordinary. .

The sound of hurried footsteps going up and down the stairs, and a pleasant voice commanding or telling information.The spiritual light exploded on the walls everywhere, and the complex and dense ritual matrix carried elements of miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment, and whispers, which were perfectly connected and integrated to play a role.

Even the best master of ceremonies couldn't tell how many ceremonies took place in the Green Lake Hotel, and how many thaumaturgies, incantations, and witches' mysteries were affected in the short few minutes after five o'clock.

The final battle of Green Lake is finally about to begin.
