Whispering Poems

Chapter 3218 [One-shot Kill Pistol]

"If it were me, I would cut off my index and middle fingers on my left hand, throw them to her, and finally say: "I leave this for you as a souvenir. You obviously deserve more, and now you only deserve this."

Theresa blinked, not understanding at all. The woman in the coffin stared blankly at Shade for a moment, took off the three rings on her fingers and threw them on the black ground outside the tomb, then took off the gold earring on her left ear hidden under her hair and threw it to him.

Then she lay down again, and the lid of the sarcophagus closed automatically. Shade bent down and picked up the four burial objects, guessing that she must have at least one gold earring on her right ear.

But he was not greedy, and he quickly restored the dug grave to its original appearance with an ordinary shovel.

After the tomb was restored, Theresa asked curiously:

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Shade reminded:
"Didn't you see it just now? The index and middle fingers of her left hand have fresh injuries. They were cut off before or after her death. I guess they were left as souvenirs."

But Theresa still didn't understand:
"Didn't she have many lovers? Do you think it was the apprentice who left two fingers behind?"

"The apprentice assassinated her own teacher and heard the teacher say such outrageous words before her death. There is only a small chance that she would let others deal with the body. Whether it was for the purpose of protecting herself or out of love and hatred in her heart, the apprentice must have buried the witch herself. She will even claim that her teacher is just missing."

Shade explained, and the young girl with glasses thought for a moment:
"So what do you mean by leaving your finger behind?"

"On the one hand, this means that 'I' was very clear about the young apprentice's thoughts, and I mocked her naivety before she died. On the other hand, the girl did not seriously damage the body out of hatred, and even buried it according to tradition, which shows that she still had deep feelings for her teacher.

Before his death, the teacher cut off his own finger and threw it to her, and said such mocking words, which could easily have caused her mentally unstable body to collapse. "

Of course, based on the "unrestrained" character of the witches of this era, Shade guessed that the two fingers had other meanings, but he couldn't say such words.

A shovel was exchanged for four burial objects, and there was no need to fight. This was an absolutely worthwhile adventure. After collecting the four burial objects, Shade looked at the big tree in the distance in the darkness again, and then took Theresa's hand:
"Come on, let's go back."

"Are you not going to walk around a bit longer? This outing has been going well. I can walk a little longer."

Theresa suggested quietly, but Shade shook his head:

"We no longer have shovels. There is no point in moving forward except to look at the tombstones. I won't take you on this dangerous journey just out of curiosity. Let's go back. I can stay longer this time. If we can find a way out early, we may be able to walk in the normal world."

The current location was actually not far from the "Gravekeeper's Hut". After all, when I brought people back from here just now, it didn't take too long to reach the destination.

Theresa didn't say anything else, picked up the kerosene lamp and went back with Shad in the direction they came from. They both felt that the tree on the side would appear in front of them sooner or later, but until they saw the small house with a fire in the window at the end of the fog, the tree was still standing in the distance.

After knocking on the door and giving the signal, Theresa went in first. Shade stood at the door and looked at the big tree in the distance. For some reason, he felt that the tree looked familiar.

"What could it be?"

Sister Belen and Miss Liad both stood up to greet them. The nun was making talismans at the table, and the "tomb robber" Miss Liad was tending to the pot by the fireplace. It seemed that nothing else happened here while Shad and the others were away.

Seeing that the two had returned and the shovel was gone, Miss Liad first asked if they were injured, and then asked with some expectation:

"How about it?"

"Four burial objects. We were lucky this time. The undead we encountered after digging up the grave were not the kind that required physical confrontation, nor were they the kind that spoke riddles to deliberately make things difficult for us."

Because she had not been out for long, Teresa was in good spirits. She took out the three gold rings and a gold earring that Shade had asked her to carry with her, gave two rings to Shade to exchange for a new shovel, and gave the rest to Sister Belen.

The nun put all the funerary objects together:
"This means that the number of burial objects is eight."

7 relics will reveal the location of the First Fire, and 13 relics will reveal the location of the tomb after leaving here and returning to the world of the living. In name, only Sister Belen needs the flame here. Although she is the first one here and most of the funerary objects here are also related to her, she did not say that she would use the funerary objects now:
"If we can be this efficient every time, it won't be hard to leave here."

Miss Liad was inspired by her words, and she attentively served hot tea and snacks brought by Xia De to the two people who had just returned from going out.

The energy consumed by walking outside was more exaggerated than flying at full speed, so Xia De sat down and talked with Theresa about what he had just seen while eating and drinking.

After entering the house, the big tree in the fog could no longer be seen from the window. This was good news, proving that the house was indeed a safe zone, but no one knew whether it would appear again the next time they went out.

After drinking a cup of tea and eating two cookies, Shade felt that he had rested enough. He calculated the time and asked Sister Belen:

"Can we go out together now?"

"So fast?"

Theresa asked in surprise, while Shade felt that he had fully recovered. The death here was still not as good as that peaceful water area:
"I want to go out and try again while I'm lucky. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be. We should act as soon as possible. Theresa, you and Miss Liad stay. Miss Liad, you can't stay here forever and wait for us to find the burial objects.

Get ready to go out. If this time we go out smoothly, you and I will go out together next time."

Every companion is meaningful, this is the experience that Shad has summed up from many time adventures.

The flaxen-haired girl nodded quickly, she knew she also had to contribute. Theresa was worried about Shade, she suggested that she was in good condition and could still go out, but Shade still asked her to stay here to rest.

The iron whistle that Miss Liad had donated ended up in Shade's hands. In addition, Theresa also lent Shade the relic that Miss Violet had given her for self-defense:
"Here you go, it's a one-shot-kill pistol. Unfortunately I only brought one of the ten-round magazines that came with it, but it should be enough to deal with most enemies."

This relic, Xia De knew, was the angel-level relic [One-shot Kill Pistol], which was the most famous firearm relic in the Sixth Era, much more famous than his [Spear of Kindness]. The characteristics of this relic were the same as its name, that is, one-shot kill.

However, this relic must be used with special soul-forged bullets or relic bullets to achieve the best effect. If ordinary bullets are used, they can only be effective against ordinary people and low-level warlocks. The bullets automatically generated by the soul are only effective against middle-level warlocks and below.

Although the craft of soul-casting bullets is not only in the hands of demons, both the witches of the Fifth Age and the ring magicians of the Sixth Age hate this behavior. Therefore, the ten bullets in Theresa's hand and the bullets in the Sixth Age are all consumables handed down from the Third Age.

The "one-shot kill" effect of the pistol with the best bullets is ineffective against demigods and some ancient evil creatures. It can only cause a lot of damage to them but not kill them. But all other mortals will almost die immediately if they are hit. As long as the instant death resistance is not full, no matter how high it is stacked, it will have no effect on the characteristics of this relic.

But the relic's shortcomings are also obvious. It's not just that it has a very high probability of misfiring, but the speed and trajectory of the bullets fired by this gun are the same as those of a normal pistol. In other words, this gun only guarantees death after being hit, but does not guarantee a hit.

And dodging bullets is easy enough for a mid-ring warlock, not to mention that bullets can be easily blocked by holding anything in the middle of the way - its power is really only that of a silver single-shot pistol on the surface.

Correspondingly, the characteristic of the keeper-level relic [One-shot Hit Pistol] that Shade encountered in the Sixth Era is that it is guaranteed to hit. The two names are similar, but the danger level is two levels different (Chapter 2256).

Teresa hid the gun in a holster tied to her thigh under her skirt, which is a very common way to hide things in this era. Shade originally wanted her to keep it for self-defense, but the girl hinted that she had other weapons on her:

"I am the heir chosen by my aunt. She will definitely not let me go out empty-handed."

After giving the new knock signal, Teresa glanced at Sister Belen and kissed Shad generously. Then Shad set out again with the nun. Thirty minutes had passed since he arrived at the wasteland lined with tombstones, which was almost a little more than a third of the way.

If he's lucky, Shad even thinks he'll have a third chance to go out.

"It's gone. The tree is gone."

This was the first thing Shad observed after leaving the hut, while the nun holding the kerosene lamp only raised her head slightly, then lowered her head again.

Xia De knew very well that the nun had many things to ask him, and the nun really took the initiative to speak after the two of them left the open space:

"Excuse my intrusion, but could you tell me about your nun?"

She took the initiative to lag behind Xia De who was holding a shovel, and Xia De glanced at the surrounding tombstones without refusing:
"My nun is very powerful. If she could be here, I'm afraid we could get out soon."

After all, Sister Daveline is the real Chosen One of Death, and her power comes directly from the [Ancient God of Death].

PS: The relic mentioned in Chapter 2256 was renamed from "One Hit Kill" to "One Hit Hit". It does not affect other plots, only the name has been changed.
