Whispering Poems

Chapter 3236 "Sunset" Great Sword

Elder Wilda, wearing a sheep-horned hat, sat on a chair beside the bed. The "potion merchant" had been injured for too long, and even though his injuries were suppressed at this moment, he could not wake up immediately.

The old man had a pipe in his mouth, but he didn't light the tobacco:
"There is always a way to deal with All Souls' Day, Harald. Even if you are missing from the three eleventh-ring priests, Claire can take over. Isn't Claire also an eleventh-ring priest?"

The witch stood aside without saying anything, which was considered as her tacit agreement to their arrangement. When she quarreled with her grandfather and left, there was actually no irreconcilable conflict between the two. Now that the All Souls' Day lacked the most important officiant, she had to take over even if others did not ask her to.

"Although All Souls' Day is important, we still have some time to prepare, but the matter of the magic sword must be dealt with as soon as possible. From what Mr. Watson has summarized, the sword may have the ability to transform the wounded into swords. Among the seven magic swords you saw, there should be only one that is the original magic sword, and the remaining six are transformed from living people."

"Elder, the sword has been taken away by the church now, right?"

Claire asked, and Elder Wilda nodded:

"We can't handle this kind of troublesome thing if it's left in the village, and who knows if other magic swords will appear again to take it away. Claire, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard recently. Although you understand the All Souls' Day, the duties of the chief priest are different from those of others. You need to learn carefully from Harald.

As for the sword, even though the church said they would take care of it, we can’t just rely on the True God Church.”

"Mr. Watson and I will continue our investigation."

The witch said as she looked at Shade. Shade had just received his reward so of course he had to express his opinion:
"Yes, I will stay and help."

"Mr. Watson, we won't let you suffer any loss. We will cover all the expenses during the investigation, and the Fatu people will give you the greatest support. In addition, you will get an extra reward after this matter is over. Although we look poor, we are the natives here after all, and we also have some good things."

After Elder Wilda finished speaking, he called the old priest Kane who was waiting outside, and after speaking a few words to him in a low voice, the latter left the room again.

He returned a short while later with a small wooden box, which was handed to Shad.

"Mr. Watson, this is the deposit."

Xia De looked at the witch. He had already accepted a reward. It was good to get two salaries for one job, but he also had to see what the "employer" meant. The witch with platinum-blonde hair thought that the handsome man in front of him knew the rules and was not greedy at all. She probably guessed what was in the box, so she nodded slightly.

Xia De then opened the box, and there were two items inside. One was a small glass bottle with an oak stopper, which contained a completely transparent liquid; the other was a small pendant in the shape of a cow horn, which looked like a bone product.

"You already know that the local snow mountain water is very famous, but in fact, the real 'Fatumongster Snow Mountain Water' can only be made and collected by us Fatu people. This unique material can directly restore the spirit. Although the output is not large, it should be enough as a deposit."

Elder Wilda said, and Shade nodded in surprise to express his gratitude. The priest's "Angel Elixir" can also restore the spirit, but the priest's elixir actually increases the speed of spirit recovery. According to the old man holding the pipe, the "Snow Mountain Water" in his hand is a genuine material that directly restores the spirit.

Apart from the perfume in the small pink perfume bottle, he had never seen anything like it before:
“Is the Fatumonster Snow Mountain so magical?”

"If you carry that ox horn pendant with you, no village at the foot of the snow-capped mountain will stop you from entering. It's a token of your identity. This is also a special item made every year during All Souls' Day. If you carry it with you when you're in Fatumunster Snow Mountain or nearby, your luck will be better than normal."

Elder Harald said again, then covered his chest and coughed a few times in pain. Even with the "holy blood" suppressing it, the wound is still a wound.

The two did not need to worry about taking care of Elder Harald. With the method of suppressing his injuries provided by Shad, only his mobility and spellcasting abilities were affected. His situation was not nearly as bad as that of the "potion merchant".

As for the investigation clues of Shad and Miss Claire Reinhart, apart from the "potion merchant" who has not yet awakened, the only information sent back by the church.

Both of these things needed to wait, so they couldn't do anything now. Then they talked to the two elders about the local situation. After that, the two elders wanted to talk to the platinum-haired girl alone, so Xia De left the room first.

But he didn't go far. When the witch found him again, Xia De was standing in the courtyard of the "Snow Mountain Hall", looking up at the majestic snow-capped mountains illuminated by the golden sunset.

This courtyard cannot be seen from the direction of entering the "Snow Mountain Hall". You need to walk out of the side door of the banquet hall to get here.

The courtyard is surrounded by the "Snow Mountain Hall" on three sides, and the fourth side faces the snow mountain directly. At this time, the snow has stopped falling, and the courtyard ground paved with flat tiles is covered with a thin layer of snow. The snowflakes from the previous few days have been swept and piled up against the wall of the courtyard.

There was nothing here except the fountain in the center, a few street lamps on the periphery, and statues that Shade didn't recognize, so it seemed particularly empty.

The witch who had just walked out of the banquet hall looked at Xia De's figure. At this moment, Xia De, the snow-capped mountains and the setting sun were almost connected in a line. She couldn't describe her feelings when she saw this scene. The stranger who was highly regarded by her grandfather seemed to have merged with the scenery at the moment, as if every slight breath could resonate with the winter wind and the evening sunset.

"he"

The Great Witch of the Sun had seen many people who could blend into the world and nature, but none of them could compare to the man in front of her. She was even in a trance for a moment. The afterglow of the setting sun gave the outline of Shade's body a layer of gold. He seemed to be standing in front of her, but it seemed that he was no longer there.

Her long platinum-blonde hair swayed as she shook her head. She tried to sober herself up, then looked at the figure from behind and said:

"The first treaty between the Fatu people and the immigrants from the Old World was signed here. That was more than a thousand years ago. You must be bored waiting for so long. What are you doing?"

"Not boring. I'm trying to sense the snowy mountains, but I admit I probably don't have much talent."

Xia De stretched out his hand and tried to catch the sun on the side of the snowy mountain, then sighed and turned around:
"Is that the discussion over? So what's the plan? Continue to wait for news, or do we take the initiative to do something? Since I'm hired by you, I'll listen to you."

With his back to the setting sun, the conflict between the shadow and light on his face became more obvious. She felt her heart beating very fast for some reason. Moreover, at this moment when the sun and the moon alternated, this "John Watson" seemed to be different from the daytime:

"Elder Wilda said that the man from the city should wake up tomorrow, but we can't focus all our attention on him. After all, he may not know anything."

"So you plan on doing something else first?"

"Yes. I've been away from home for three years. Although it seems that not much has changed here, I still need to adapt to the environment again. There will be no joint action plan tomorrow. You can investigate the island at will. Come back here and meet me tomorrow evening, and we will exchange the intelligence in our hands."

Xia De nodded. He was still not very familiar with the island. Tomorrow he could continue to walk around the island, such as the northern foothills of the snow-capped mountains, which he had not yet set foot on.
"Okay, so I can leave now? I live in the city, so meet me on Victoria Street if you need anything."

But the witch shook her head again and looked at him with her light golden eyes:
"Before we officially take action, I want to test your strength. You performed very well when we fought against the magic sword together this afternoon, but I still don't understand you. I need to know what kind of partner I am this time."

This request is reasonable. After all, cooperating against the enemy is not as convenient as becoming an opponent to understand Xia De's situation.

"Want a fight? Here?"

"Right here, use the silencing spell and illusion to cover up the sound and light. I just want to have a simple fight with you. We don't need to fight with all our strength, and we don't need to fly high."

She said this, then took off her cloak and threw it on the ground. Then she stepped on her boots and walked towards Shade at a slow speed. The spell began to take effect, and the silver-white mist created by the hazy illusion was spreading along the ground.

Xia De also wanted to know what kind of power this eleventh-level Great Sun Witch had. Seeing her approaching him, he closed his eyes, stretched out his right hand, then raised his head and roared like a dragon into the air.

"Dragon Language Spell: Sword of Light."

The Sunshine Sword was taken out by Shade from the brilliant orange-red sunset, but unlike the dazzling golden Sunshine Sword during the day, the sunset color emitted by the sword at this moment was closer to a mixture of gold and red. Even because March and the starry sky had already formed a corner above his head, the orange-red blade of the "Sunshine Sword" was dotted with silver-blue light.

Shade had never used the Sunshine Great Sword in this state, or you could call it the Sunset Great Sword. The dragon language spell recorded in his magic - [Dragon Roar] was just to draw the sword from the light, so it was not strange that the great sword was in this state.

The witch was more surprised than Shade:
"The light of the sun and the moon, day and night can actually be combined like this? The Sun Church's signature magic [Sunlight Greatsword] and the rumored 'God Summoner's' [Moonlight Greatsword] can be used like this? You are more talented than I thought."
