Whispering Poems

Chapter 1946

Granny Cassandra disappeared abruptly, without finishing the last sentence.But Xia De was not worried about the safety of the doctor and the priest. He probably guessed that the doctor's coffin could also be used as a special surface vehicle, so the two decided to try to break through the barrier between the two islands.

With the luck of the doctor, Xia De was very worried that they would always get lost in the thick fog; but with the reliability of Augustus Priest, Xia De felt that maybe soon, he could see the two of the group appear in that coffin in front of him.

After the contact with Granny Cassandra ended, the girl in the hotel came forward as usual.Miss Hayley Aurora steamed the clothes for Shad, and Tifa brought the potion.

This time Xia De went out for a short time, and Leiziya and Dorothy asked Xia De what happened to him again without worry.On the contrary, Xia De found that although more girls who were originally unconscious in the hotel woke up, more people needed rest and healing.

"The monsters around are getting stronger, and their perception ability is also getting stronger. Every time there is an earthquake, the blood in the fog outside will be thicker, and they will become stronger. I have a feeling that this island is coming to life. come over."

Rezia worriedly explained to Xia De:
"Although the hotel can still be maintained now, your bonfire can ensure that at least the first floor is safe, and there are plenty of healing potions. But judging from the current situation, there will be no problem here within an hour. No matter how long it takes, there will be no problem. It’s hard to say. After all, we don’t have too many high-ring warlocks.”

Rezia and Dorothy were both five rings, they knew they were the lowest level, so they didn't bother to join the battle, they just called out the princess holding a spindle and the match girl carrying a basket to serve as guards at the door.And because she didn't participate in the battle, Leiziya was in charge of the material allocation here, and she knew the most about the current general situation of the hotel.

"Don't worry, it won't be that long."

Shad said:

"Don't worry about anything, leave everything to me. Maybe the matter will be over in the first half of the night. When tomorrow dawns, we still have time to spend the remaining half day of the Red Butterfly Day."

That tree root had just been handed over to Granny Cassandra and passed it off the island.The big tree underground on the island is most directly related to Edward's Den magic. If people outside the island can figure out the secret of the tree roots as soon as possible, they should also know how to get on the island.

Now everyone is racing against time, and Shad even believes that Laplace Klein Howard, whose main body has been in the Edwards mansion, should also be counting the time.He wanted to use Shad and Iruna, who was out of nowhere, to help him complete the last part of the ceremony, but Shad and Iluna were actually using this to gain power.

In the race against time, it is still unknown who will win and who will win, but it cannot be said that either party has fallen into a disadvantage.

More than 30 minutes have passed since the entire Green Lake Hotel appeared on the island.People from outside the island are about to arrive, and the Edwards family banquet is about to begin. Xia De guessed that he probably has not had many chances to return here.So after a short rest, he left the hotel again with the girls seeing him off.

Entering the forest along the already familiar road, although the monsters wandering in the rainy night and fog became stronger, because Shade's connection with the island became deeper, he was able to bypass them more quickly. After a battle, they quickly passed through the forest and entered the town again.

On the way, they encountered two more supplies sent by the church from outside the island. Among them were alchemy dolls that could spontaneously attract monsters, which made Shade's progress more convenient.

As for the small town in the dense fog, there are still no pedestrians to be seen on the road.When they reached the position where the cross collapsed and the blood tree rose, the kneeling townspeople were still there, and Shad just bypassed them and went straight to the road leading to the top of the hill in the south of the town.

Because he had already encountered something in the town, he thought that this time he could go directly to the gate of Edwards mansion, and then he was forced to find things like keys or invitation letters.Unexpectedly, at the end of the originally straight road, he was blocked by a manor that shouldn't exist.

The manor was just at the intersection of leaving the town and leading to Edwards' old house. The gate of the manor was open, and the firelight from the windows of the house could be seen in the foggy courtyard, as if welcoming Shad's arrival.

"It was Brother Edwards and Brother Green just now, so it's Brother Foran's turn this time, right?"

Xia De didn't choose to take a detour, so he entered the manor with his long sword in hand, and entered the open mansion along the central axis of the courtyard.

Just as he thought, entering the interior of the building was a magnificent banquet hall.Men and women in formal wear and long skirts all gathered together, watching two people in the crowd competing with each other.

It really was the Furren brothers, the two brothers with the left and right monocles, each holding a rapier and fighting a duel at the moment.Their posture is quite standard, but they have no armor on their bodies, and they are quite ruthless in their attacks.

When Xia De saw them, the brothers' bodies were already covered with wounds.As they moved, blood flowed from the red-stained clothes to the carpet.Look carefully at the carpet again, it is obviously a blanket made of dense tree roots.

The surrounding townspeople cheered happily, applauded, or loudly encouraged the two brothers to continue attacking.Each of them stood in place, no matter how big the movement of the upper body was, the lower body remained motionless.

Finally, Shade discovered the roots piercing the soles of the feet from under the floor of a woman wearing high heels, and then he understood that the townspeople here were indeed controlled by the big tree that ran through the entire island.

Xia De passed through the crowd and came inside. The Furren brothers both turned their heads to look at him, but they didn't stop at all when they swung their rapiers, as if their heads could no longer control their bodies.

Xia De did not stop their actions, but said directly:

"Tell them to stop, what are you going to do this time?"

"Just wanted to show some family bonding."

The voice came from beside him, and Xia De looked at Laplace Howard, who was wearing a black formal suit, with a handkerchief on his chest, and a glass of red wine in his hand:
"The family friendship of your family is to force twin brothers to fight each other?"

"It's not life-threatening."

The fortuneteller said plainly:
"Compared with this cruel world, this is already a very merciful means."

Shade smiled mockingly:
"Let them stop. I will continue to move towards your mansion. What do you want me to do this time? Or use my perfume to feed your family's big tree?"

"It looks like you've figured out what it means to do that."

"How could you not understand?"

The Foran brothers stopped attacking each other and retreated from the carpet of roots.

The fortune teller turned around, took a long sword that looked like a [Night Watchman] from the old man who looked like a butler behind him, and then made an invitation gesture to Shade:

"Would you like to compete with me in swordsmanship? I heard that the Godcaller is superior in swordsmanship. Try it with me. You only need to persist for 5 minutes. Whether you win or lose, you can keep going."

He took the initiative to walk towards the red carpet:

"The time is almost up. This is the last hurdle to stop you from advancing. I assure you, after this duel, you will get an invitation letter, and my descendants, whom you miss, will also wait safely in the family house looking at you."

He stood still on the carpet, turned and looked at Xia De:
"How about treating this as a warm-up before the banquet? We will discuss many things tonight. If you can beat me, I am willing to tell you something in advance that you have always wanted to know."

"for example?"

Xia De frowned deeply, and the fortune-teller swung his long sword and danced a beautiful sword flower:
"For example, what is Rezia Cavendish and Dorothy Louisa chosen by the world to do?"

Xia De walked towards the carpet with the sword in hand. The fortune-teller held the hilt of the sword with both hands with a smile, and raised the long sword:

"Come on, let's do it according to dueling etiquette."

So Xia De also raised [Night Watchman] and touched his sword.The two each took two steps back, adjusted their breathing rate, stepped forward and swung the weapons in their hands.

Of course, the quality of the long sword in the hands of the Seer is not as good as that of an angel-level relic, but it is undoubtedly an extremely strong weapon.The long swords of both sides intertwined. Although the sword gradually appeared cracks, it did not break because of it.

And that fortune teller's swordsmanship is really superb.His current body is still not the main body, but his strength is surprisingly strong, even stronger than Xia De's.Fortunately, it is only "exquisite" swordsmanship, which is still not as good as Xia De's swordsmanship at the "master" level.

They tacitly did not use thaumaturgy, and just carried out the most classical duel like ordinary people.While the long sword collided, blocked, dodged and parried, the surrounding townspeople continued to cheer and applaud.

They didn't just cheer for the Seer, they also cheered for Shad's excellent attack.

The 5-minute duel was not very long. Even though his strength was slightly inferior, Xia De still had the upper hand relying on the convenience of weapons and sword skills.The Seer's black suit gradually had a lot of rips, and the body that didn't know where it came from would also bleed out of it.

Although Shade made several mistakes and was penetrated by the opponent's long sword, but even in the end, he only suffered damage to his clothes and did not suffer any real damage during the whole process.The sword fight between the two sides upheld restraint and elegance, and the long sword strikes did not carry the ruthlessness and determination to kill each other.

But Xia De will not let down his vigilance because of this. At the end of the five minutes that can even be called harmonious and friendly, when the long sword collided with the long sword again, and the sword in the fortune-teller's hand suddenly changed, Xia De De knew immediately that he was finally about to reveal his true purpose.
