Whispering Poems

"It needs to be determined whether this spell can still work on the island."

Tifa reminded softly, and handed her charm to another girl in a black and white maid skirt.The latter nodded, bent the talisman and disappeared in place, and soon appeared on the other side of the bonfire.

"Can use."

So the remaining six charms in the hotel were all gathered in Xia De's hands.

"We are waiting for you here."

She said to Shad like this:

"If you encounter danger on the road or you are injured, bend the talisman and come back at any time. Although we cannot follow you into this thick fog, everyone here is your backing."

Although Xia De couldn't name them, the girls who looked familiar to him smiled and nodded to him.Xia De looked at the spell in his hand. With these, it can indeed make the next battle more error-tolerant.It's just that as he goes deeper into the fog, the effects of these spells will also be affected, so Shade can't use them as his hole cards.

After confirming that he brought all the relics that can be used, Xia De got up and was ready to go.Dorothy and Rezia each gave Shad a hug and promised that they would wait here for Shad's return:

"You also have to promise that you will come back safely."

Agelina hugged Mia and waved goodbye to Shad, and Tifa, as a maid, bowed slightly to Shad after he walked out of the hotel gate, as if she was really saying goodbye to the master who went on a long journey.

The hotel with flames quickly disappeared behind Xia De.The boots stomping on the dark red ground, the sound of dense rain everywhere, and the thick fog completely cooled down the mood as well as the body temperature.

Although I came to this island unexpectedly, I didn't feel too lonely and depressed because I was accompanied by other girls.At this time, he finally became alone again, and the coldness from deep in his heart finally emerged.

"But it's also what I'm most familiar with."

The area of ​​the central island of Green Lake was not very large. Although the land and plants on the surface of the island at this time are different from the original island, the area and layout seem to be the same.

While avoiding those weird enemies cruising in the rain and fog, Xia De kept turning on "Strong Space Perception", and gradually completed his understanding of the island's topography in his mind.

He has not learned the ability to avoid rain, but without any additional thaumaturgy, it will allow him to hide himself better in the dark.His hair and clothes were completely soaked, but he felt that in this state, the slow breathing sound gradually merged with the atmosphere of the island.

Going deep into the island, Xia De can't just go alone.Facing the thick fog in the rain, he tried again to put [Vientiane Impermanence·Space] in front of his eyes, hoping to see something different, but he really didn't seem to have Joey Barton, Arella Andrea A talent like Miss Na.

But at least the ability to sense the position of the first fire given by Sister Devlin is completely unaffected by the dense fog.The more he walked forward, the more Xia De could perceive the burning flame waiting for him not far away.

The location of Chuhuo, that is, the location of the ancient seal, almost coincides with the vague direction of Megan's location, so Xia De doesn't have to think about which direction to go first.

As for the Vientiane Impermanence Card and the ability to sense the first fire, there is actually another item that can help him here at this time.

Gently stroking the silver flute on his waist, the power of the [Butterfly Calling Flute] can still be used even here, that is to say, Xia De can actually summon Grace and Helen at any time.

However, he did not do so for the time being. If it was not a last resort, he still did not want Grace and Helen to be involved.

【You are deceiving yourself. 】

"She" said softly in Xia De's ear, the voice was set off against the sound of the rain, making it extraordinarily clear.

Shade curled his lips and looked up at the night sky above the tree shadows.Dark clouds and fog together obscured the stars. The three-wheeled moon of the material world should have been able to project here, but nothing could be seen at this time.

"Do you know my plan?"

He turned to hold the [Sage's Stone] on his chest.

[You are trying to cheat the Chosen Ceremony. 】

"I will succeed."

The dense fog that fills the rainy night can even deceive the perception of monsters. This is one of the most important reasons why Shade can move forward safely.He soon found the path in the forest again, and the muddy red and black soil made the path extremely difficult to walk.In addition to avoiding those unconscious monsters walking in the forest, he did not walk directly on that road, but moved forward silently at the edge of the forest.

"What is the taste?"

He suddenly twitched his nose and sniffed, and then realized that it was the smell of burning wood:
"With such heavy rain, what's burning on the island?"

He thought it might be the town at the end of the forest burning, but soon realized that the burning point was very close to him.Because as he continued to move forward, the smell became stronger and stronger, until Xia De clearly saw a little bit of fire in the fog.

The light was not on his way forward, but on his left.He was walking on the left side of the forest path, so the burning location was deeper in the forest.

"What's the situation? A trap? Or something else?"

Some were hesitant to check it out, but soon noticed traces of elements that were obviously only produced by ring warlocks fighting.Shad is sure that the girls from the hotel will never come here, so it can only be that other people have also come to the island:

"Who will it be?"

No matter who it is, the person who appears here under such circumstances is most likely to be the enemy of that fortune-teller.Being able to see the flames under such low visibility conditions meant that the opponent's position was quite close to Xia De's position at this time, so he just hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a look.

Bending down and walking through the rain, I later realized that the direction was clearly the location of the Green Lake Town Public Cemetery on the normal Green Lake Central Island.It was here that Xia De and "Miss Pharmacist" came into contact with the blacksmith's soul and obtained the first key.

Sure enough, as the light of the fire gradually became clearer, the small town cemetery with the giant bonfire also appeared in the fog.

The rusty black fence surrounded the cemetery in the woods in the rain, and the tombstones in the forest were not very clear in the rain and fog.

Shad could see a large group of people in rain ponchos gathering in front of the huge bonfire.And when he really came outside the fence of the cemetery, he saw that those people were actually confronting the two people surrounded by them.

Xia De didn't know any of those people in ponchos.They looked like normal living people, but they seemed to be closely connected with this island, as if they were part of this weird island.

Xia De knew the two people surrounded by them, the grandson of the fourth-generation eldest son Hohenheim Edwards, and the son of Jarvis Edwards, a cult member of the [Tyranny Club] that Xia De had never seen in the fifth generation. Wood Edwards and Glass Edwards of the Mirror Society.

The two brothers stood side by side in front of the bonfire, their hair and clothes already wet in the rain like Shad.Because of the distance, even if Xia De's sight was less affected by the fog, he still couldn't hear what these people were saying, and could only see the two brothers arguing with the group of people in raincoats.

The eight-ring life ring behind the two of them has emerged, but for some reason, tree roots are wrapped around the metal life ring.The fluctuations in the spirit and elements of the ring warlock's battle that Xia De felt just now came from them.

"Illusions? Or are they really them?"

Xia De asked softly in his heart.

[The distance is too far, but the probability of being a real person is very high. 】

"Although I know they must be on the island, why are they here? They escaped from the family feast?"

Covered by the mist, Xia De took a deep breath, and then walked sideways through the gap of the rusted fence into the cemetery.Obviously they just passed the fence, but the voice in the cemetery immediately became clear.

The two Edwards brothers were indeed arguing with the group of people in ponchos, but the content of the dispute was a bit strange:
"Since my father is dead, he should be buried here."

Wood Edwards, who is blind on the left side, is an older brother, arguing with those people:
"You are also residents of the town, why do you object to us burying your father here?"

In the gap between the crowd, Xia De suddenly saw another middle-aged man he didn't know lying under the feet of the two brothers.

"This is Jarvis Edwards who was rescued from the Church by the Truth?"

The townspeople in ponchos answered loudly in the rain:
"Death is not the end, especially for those of us in Lake Green!"

Xia De could only see the profile of the leader of the townspeople, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like the last mayor of the town in the information Megan found:
"Your ancestors blessed everyone here, and death is not our destination. Although everyone is mortal, and no one can change this result, as long as you are willing to follow Mr. Laplace Howard, the 'returner' after death, you will be You must be able to stand up again! You are also the blood of the Edwards family, how can you not believe this?"

As he spoke, he led the townspeople in ponchos to step forward, and the two brothers looked at each other nervously.In Xia De's view, these two eight-ring warlocks seemed to be a little afraid of these ordinary people.

Behind the two brothers is the cluster of fires that can still burn even in heavy rain.There was no way they could retreat, they gritted their teeth and held each other's hands.While the eight-ring life ring wrapped around the roots of the tree behind him bloomed with light, every drop of raindrops falling around became a mirror that could reflect light.The light reflected back and forth in those mirrors and magnified, and a series of terrifying rays of light rushed towards those crazy townspeople.
