Chapter 2624: Acorn Ghost and Sea of ​​Fire

"So what if we're cowardly? We are so insignificant compared to this world. Isn't it right to fear death?"

Xia De didn't waste time talking nonsense:

"What is the method for detecting 'time travelers' that you got?"

"Acorn. Among the relics of the five-ring warlock of the Church of Nature is a roasted acorn. After I eat that acorn, I can sense people who are not from that time in a certain area nearby within a month.

I waited for a month but still couldn't get him. I drank a bottle of [Oak's Lucky Potion] bought from the black market in Riverwood Town, and finally got him on the last day!"

Shade had also drunk this potion. It was a specialty of the [Hermits of the Forest], so it was not surprising that it ended up on the local black market.

“It’s getting more and more complicated.”

The witch at the side waited until Shade finished asking before speaking, and couldn't help showing a look of sadness on her pretty face:
"This is considered to be a confirmation of the local nature church. At least since the time of Ximu Town, a small number of people have known about the existence of the tree hole. I just don't know if it is just a sporadic case or it is already a tacitly known thing."

She looked around at the black fog:
"The complicated story of the Cummings, which took us a week to unravel, now seems to be just one part of the 'Riverwood Story', and quite possibly the least important one."

Seeing her face getting paler, Xia De said with concern:
"Let's finish the spell first."

“What should we do with this priest?”

The artist asked again:

"Erasing his memory will cause the church to come knocking on his door right away; killing him is even more impossible, as it will cause big trouble.

But just letting him go? That's too easy for him. And he knows about Baron Cumming. Although we have no direct contact with the Baron, it's better not to expose him right away."

"Then erase his memory. Is it possible to just make him forget his identity as a baron?"

"Of course, but this will lead to..."

“It’s to attract the church.”

Xia De said, knowing that she didn't understand what he meant:
"Since we have determined that the local natural church has secrets, we must bring in other churches to investigate these secrets. Otherwise, are we going to be hostile to the church alone? I don't think this is necessary.

Only by making things bigger can we force the person hiding behind to show up. He knows about time travel, and the bottle of potion we left behind can perfectly prove this story. And although he knows about time travel, he doesn't know too many details, which makes him the best candidate to expose this matter."

"I always feel that you are very skilled in handling this kind of thing."

Miss Winslet nodded, feeling that it made sense:

"Indeed, investigating the time travelers and the time curse will eventually bring us into contact with the Chosen Ones. It is time for the Church to get involved. We are already so far ahead in the investigation, and we don't have to worry about the Church influencing us."

She reached out to end the Wall of Sighs spell, but her movements froze, and she turned to Shade with an apologetic look:

“It seems out of control.”

Boom!

As the priest on the wall was forced to fly away and fell unconscious, a vast black fog suddenly burst out from the cracks under the wall like a volcanic eruption. Then hundreds of undead embedded in the wall stretched their bodies out together, and as the fog and wind suddenly became colder, they stretched out their hands to the two living people outside the wall.

"Yeah~"

Flora Winslet called out softly again, and then naturally hid behind Shade:
"It seems like I'm a little out of control, but it's going to be okay with you here. Be careful, it seems like a big guy has escaped!"

After all, those undead who reached out could not completely escape the restrictions of the "Wall of Sighs", so although they looked scary, they could not threaten Shade. At this time, Miss Bell saw that something was wrong and had already rushed over with the girls. Then everyone saw a huge green shadow passing through the "Wall of Sighs".

The huge spirit itself carried a powerful force of death, causing more trees in the surrounding woods to quickly lose their vitality. However, it was not in the image of a dead person, but in the image of a skeleton wearing a white bone crown.

"roar~"

The shrill scream like a whale's cry echoed through the forest with the cold wind. Even though Shad had the blessings of thousands of souls, the huge vengeful spirit still reached out and pressed him as soon as it passed through the Wall of Sighs.

"Since we want to make a bigger noise to attract the local church, this should be considered a big noise, right? Miss Bell, take your people and leave first."

The witch also understood Shade's idea and nodded to her apprentice, who hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving with his men.

The witch herself turned into an owl and stood on Shade's shoulder. The change in her state made her completely lose control of the magic. Although the "Wall of Sighs" collapsed and no other undead appeared, it also meant that the huge crowned skeleton undead could not pass through the "Wall of Sighs" and be driven back:

"The noise is indeed loud enough, but can you hold on until the church team arrives?"

"Of course, what I fear least is the undead!"

As he spoke, the Crowned Skeleton Undead leaned over and opened its mouth towards Shade. The pale green light also made Shade and Miss Owl look green, and the death mist, which was lethal to living things, had already been sprayed down in advance.

Xia De put his index fingers together and pointed upwards:

"Daylight ray!"

The rays fired from his two fingers converged into a beam. The slender beam seemed weak, but it easily penetrated the black fog and hit the mouth of the huge evil spirit. With another shrill scream in the strong wind, the evil spirit retreated backwards, but the white bone crown on its head emitted light and it quickly recovered.

"A very good choice. The power of the sun can indeed restrain the undead."

The owl on his shoulder commented:

"This magic trick of yours is...wait, this is not magic, this is witch magic!"

She spread her wings and flapped them on Shad's cheek, but it didn't hurt at all:

"Wait, wait, stop for a moment. What's going on? How do you know witch secrets? Why didn't you tell me about this? Your immunity to our curse and your ability to learn secrets are two different concepts. What did Jialina do to you?"

"Don't move! I'll explain it to you later!"

As he spoke, a silver bolt of lightning was thrown upwards. Rumbling in the broad daylight, a thunderous roar resounded throughout most of the forest. Immediately, Xia De, determined to make things bigger, raised his hand and threw out five large fireballs in the forest where the dry ground was covered with fallen leaves in autumn.

Although this tall and strange undead was indeed stronger than the undead that Shad encountered on the brink of life and death in Midhill Castle last fall, Shad was no longer the same person he was last fall.

The series of thunders first attracted the attention of nearby loggers and villagers. When the people on the train brought the bad news of "the forest is burning" to the city, a joint team composed of the local Dawn Church and the Sun Church had already rushed to the scene.

The powerful undead appearing in the forest is as conspicuous as a little Mia appearing among a group of black cats.

When the team of twenty people led by two high-level warlocks appeared near the battlefield in good condition, they saw a terrifying skeleton ghost locked in the forest engulfed by fire, with two chains on the left and right that were so dark that they made people feel cold even in the sun.

The fire had already illuminated half the sky red, and the struggling vengeful spirit made the two chains of sin rattle, but it could not move at all as the seven runes of sin flashed in turn.

Another silver thunder exploded in the charred open space in the center of the fire. In the light of the fire, the man with the owl standing on his shoulder swung his wrist violently, and the blood-red whip that was thicker than a tree trunk hit the vengeful spirit directly:

"Soul whipping!"

The shrill screams were enough to make any determined person fall into a nightmare tonight. The howling even made the forest shake a few times.

While the vengeful spirits imprisoned by the forest fire and chains were weak, the ring wizards saw the man flying into the air - the owl flapped its wings and pulled him upwards.

After Xia De was higher than the white-bone ghost, he looked towards the sun in the sky that seemed to be dyed red by fire and said:

"Praise the moon!"

"Cuckoo~"

The owl wanted to remind Shade that he had said the wrong thing, but Shade's figure had already carried it, and together with the silver-white lightning, it passed through the body of the vengeful spirit, and after a loud bang, the explosion completely razed the surroundings to the ground. When the smoke and dust cleared, the black death fog that enveloped the surroundings had also dissipated.

The vengeful spirit stood on the charred earth, howling at the sky. Silver lightning splashed on the pale green surface of the spirit, causing its body to twitch continuously.

A huge black moon symbol appeared on the ground, and after letting out a final scream, the vengeful spirit was completely annihilated by the power of the black moon.

Even though the team of twenty ring sorcerers was led by two high-ring sorcerers, they did not dare to rush into the battle site immediately after seeing this scene.

A sea of ​​fire surrounded the huge black moon symbol on the ground for a long time. As the winner, Shad stood up and stretched his shoulders. The chubby Miss Owl swaying on his shoulders wanted to say, "I finally saw the magic that Danister taught you," but she couldn't say it at this time.

As he stood up, Chad grabbed Father Francois by the collar and pulled him up. He pulled out his hair and put it in a paper mannequin, wrote his name on the mannequin, and then took out the needle given by the doctor and drew out the "sin".

[Stranger, you have some understanding of "cowardice".]

The pitch-black liquid was injected into the paper man. Unlike the paper man on Friday, this time the paper man had a more human skin texture. Although Xia De couldn't tell how much "cowardice" was contained in it, it must be no less than 1.1 seconds.

Miss Owl saw this scene up close, and the filthy power even made her feel nauseous:
"What kind of method is this?"
