Whispering Poems

Chapter 2639 Ancient Power

The night was as cool as water. Although the autumn woods had turned golden, this "inaccessible" forest was still full of green. At this time, the two were alone, and a little moonlight sprinkled on the table between them from the gaps in the tree canopy above their heads, and also lit up some corners of the mithril eye mask on the nun's face.

The night wind blew, bringing with it a hint of late autumn coolness. Just as Dorothy said, every autumn rain brings a chill, and Vesta is only one rain away from late autumn.

The wind blew the treetops above their heads, and also blew the nun's hair and clothes. Shade shook his head. Of course, he was worried. The dream tonight was probably caused by the "Moon Dance Festival", and the untouchable figure in the dream
"I would like to ask, Sister, do you know this kind of fire?"

He stretched out his right hand and cast the spell again, and the pure silver "moon fire" ignited again.

The jumping flames seemed to light up Sister Defulin's mithril eye mask for a moment, and the nun lowered her head slightly to "look" at the flames:

"Secret fire."

This is another name for "Moon Fire", and it seems that it can also be called "Silver Fire":
"You really do know me. I just had a dream in the Golden Music Hall, and when I woke up, I gained this flame. However, this flame does not exist in my body and soul like the First Fire. Instead, I can create it on the spot when I want to use it."

Sister Defulin's face was still as calm as usual, or expressionless. She was silent for a moment:

"The Spiritual Cult has recorded many strange flames, including the secret fire. This is the power bestowed by the Moon God to the most trusted believers. According to the information in the cult, this flame will no longer appear on mortals after the departure of that god.

Only alien creatures such as the Moon Crow still retain a weakened version of the Secret Fire, but that is completely different from the real Secret Fire."

This statement is similar to what Miss Danister said just now, but she knows more things that Miss Danister doesn't know:

"Is your secret fire just a spell? What is its effect?"

"Healing, expelling curses, purification."

Xia De simply described it, but Sister Defulin said:
"The secret fire in the records is a very powerful ability that is almost omnipotent.

Improves resistance to spells, grants healing abilities, forms energy rays, provides continuous burning effects, dispels spells and breaks barriers, enhances properties, and makes the owner immortal. Can I touch it?"

"Of course, please."

Shade stretched his hand forward again, and the nun put her slender right hand with burns into the silver moonfire.

She said nothing, but Shade saw that the burn marks on Sister Defulin's palms were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for the price, the spirit in Shade's body was also being consumed rapidly.

"your injury"

"This is the price of touching the First Fire. These wounds reflect the burns of my soul, which will not be healed easily."

The cold voice said, and she withdrew her hand without letting the burn on her right hand fully heal:
"This is indeed the secret fire. The secret fire is one of the few powers that can heal a soul burned by the 'Original Fire'. But you haven't mastered this power completely, so it is only a basic spell."

"But why did this flame choose me? I don't understand."

The nun raised her eye mask and looked at him. The dense patterns on it flashed again in the firelight:
"Shad, you really don't understand?"

This was one of the few times she called Xia De by her name directly, and the stranger looked at the eye patch as if he was looking directly into her eyes.

The two did not speak to each other for a long time, which made the elves watching them from above very confused.

Finally, it was Xia De who spoke first:
"Since this flame is effective, let me continue to heal your hand."

"No, unless I give up my responsibility as a fire-bearing sister, the burning of my soul will reappear."

"Then can the Primordial Fire devour this Moon Fire? Can't the Primordial Fire absorb the power of other abnormal flames besides firewood?"

Sister Defulin pursed her small red lips:
"The secret fire is not a flame. Its flame appearance is just a manifestation. But since it looks like a flame, it can be absorbed by the first fire."

She did not reach out again:
"Are you sure you want to do this? This will not affect your power, but this is a flame given by God. From ancient times to now, no nun has ever let the First Fire come into contact with the secret fire."

Xia De looked at the moonlight on the table beside him:

"Since He has given me this power, it means I can use it at my will. Strengthening the power of the First Flame also means strengthening me. And since she doesn't even want me to see her front, let's do it."

The nun nodded slightly to Shade, stretched out her hand again and held Shade's right hand, which was burning with moonlight, together above the table.

A crimson flame rose from her hands, and as she and Shade linked their fingers, the red and silver flames completely merged into one, but did not harm the elf girl's round table.

This process was faster than Shade had imagined. As his spirit was drained away again, the Primordial Fire had already swallowed up all the pure silver. Because their fingers were interlocked at this time, the power of the Primordial Fire's expansion was immediately fed back to Shade.

Just as he said, the increase in the First Fire also increased his power.

"The effects of all fire spells that use the power of the First Fire have been enhanced; the body's self-healing ability and overall resistance have been improved."

She briefly described the enhancement and tried to withdraw her hand, but found that Shade did not let go. So the nun also held his hand with a little more force, and the two of them sat at the table and raised their heads at the same time, looking over the edge of the tree canopy at the moon in the night sky.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that Sister Devlin whispered good night to Shade. After their hands separated, she turned around and turned into flames and flew to the upper floors of the tree house.

"I've been watching you from up there, you two are so funny!"

The door of the upper tree house was closed, and then the elf girl jumped down. Although it was already very late at night, she still looked quite energetic, with a smile in her emerald green eyes:

"What is the relationship between you two? The atmosphere just now was really ambiguous~even more ambiguous than what is written in the book."

"If you knew how Ajelina was punished by Lecia for those books after she returned to Tobesk from Moon Bay, you wouldn't use such an example."

Shade threatened her, but in fact, Ajelina was punished not for reading, but for writing a book.

"You can't scare me. Who is Ajelina?"

Xia De ignored her and continued to play dumb, but just covered his forehead with some fatigue, so the elf girl also said with some concern:

"I see you've been really busy today. Go back and rest. Have a good sleep. You don't have to come here so early tomorrow morning. I'll see Sister Defulin and the others off."

Shade nodded, but then asked:

"Do you know how to deal with the [Speed ​​Spell]? It seems that those people in the [Tree Hole Association] all know this."

"I thought you already knew it. The principle of stability I taught you is based on the principle of stabilizing time, so it can have a damaging effect on paradox worms.

Add the [Stability Principle] enchantment to your staff, then stab it into the ground, and then all abnormal time effects will be weakened in a certain area centered on it. Didn't you notice? After you threw the lightning gun with the stability principle tonight, the "watchmaker" immediately ran away. "

Xia De suddenly realized. Although there were other things he wanted to ask, she was right. It was time to rest:

"Good night then, Amelia, and see you tomorrow."

"Good night. Don't call me Emilia."

She pouted slightly to express her dissatisfaction, but this look made her look exactly like the underage elf girl she was now.

Xia De smiled and said:

"If not Amelia, should she be called Amy or Millie?"

"Oh, Shad, don't bully me!"

Of course, although she said that Shade didn't need to come too early tomorrow morning, Shade hadn't borrowed the eye mask from Sister Defulin yet, so he still had to come as early as possible tomorrow morning. The nun left too quickly just now, and she probably didn't want to talk to Shade tonight.

Although he was indeed a little tired, he felt back to normal after looking at the moon in the woods and waiting for Shade to go home again.

Dorothy and Vanessa at home expressed their concerns about Shad being busy so late. They thought Shad was very tired, so they said they would sleep on their sides tonight. But the stranger had to maintain his reputation to prove that every time he used divine promotion and received so many blessings, it was not just to increase the data on paper:
"Mia, go to the closet."

"Meow~"

Anyway, after the lights were turned off, the writer, who was very easy to talk to, and Vanessa were led by Shade into the bedroom. As for Vanessa, who had just "joined this family", her experience in double tango was far less than that of the writer. The blonde girl was also happy to act as her teacher, so Vanessa's nightlife at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square tonight was more fulfilling and interesting than the previous few days:
"Space power can actually be used like this?"

And Xia De slept very soundly that time. When he opened his eyes again, it was already a new Monday.

The continuous drizzle that started yesterday continued until this morning. Because he was still thinking about borrowing an eye mask from the nun, Shad got up early, and Dorothy and Vanessa naturally got up early as well.

The house was very lively this morning, because not only Carina, who had always come early in the morning in the past week, but also Luvia and Sirius came early in the rain. However, they did not stay here last night, so when they came, Dorothy and Vanessa were already preparing breakfast.
