Whispering Poems

Chapter 3259 Entering the water
"Adele's power targets a single individual, but can affect the soul; Chloe's power targets the scene, but cannot affect the soul. I have only mastered the basics of these two kinds of magic."

Shade sighed quietly in his heart. Whether it was Demigod Adele or Demigod Chloe, they did not have such great restrictions when using the power of time stopping, so he still had a long way to go.

He waved his hand to let the snowflakes that had frozen in the air fly again. Then he noticed that Miss Reinhardt beside him was looking at him as if he were some unbelievable monster:

"Is this the frozen space-time corresponding to the spiritual rune like [Ice]?"

"No, I don't have spirit runes like ice yet."

"So you realized the power of freezing time and space right in front of me without mastering the power of ice?"

She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and looked at her apprentice, then looked at the cat sticking its head out from Shade's chest. She felt as if the world had suddenly gone crazy since she returned to her hometown:

"So this is the real genius."

"I don't deny my talent, but we'll talk about this later. I think the reason I can easily gain this power is probably related to a lady who blessed me. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a look at the spring first."

As he spoke, he walked towards the frozen spring. Miss Reinhardt took two steps forward and looked at her apprentice with some concern:

“Stella, if you feel you can’t hold on any longer, you can leave this area first.”

"It's all right for now, miss. It's only a little colder here than where I was born."

The white-haired girl said softly, then leaned forward to observe the frozen spring. Shade immediately turned his head and looked at Stella Larson with suspicion.

The witch subconsciously stood in front of the apprentice like a cat protecting its cubs:

"What do you want to do?"

"I thought of a possibility. Didn't I say that I came to this island to find a powerful enemy?"

Miss Larson, like the demon, was born in the Arctic Ice Cap. Shade could only guess whether the demon would hide in this most dangerous and safest place.

[Is this a bit too outrageous? ]

"She" smiled gently, with a tone that even had a hint of helplessness. But Shade had to eliminate every suspicion, so after obtaining the consent of the witch and Miss Larson herself, Shade placed his fingers on the forehead and neck of the white-haired girl.

In fact, the heart's position is better, but that would greatly reduce the favorability that Shad had worked so hard to establish with the Fatu people and the Great Witch of the Sun.

Fortunately, these two positions are enough. Even without the [Demon Hunting Seal] and [Night Watcher], Shad's strength and his familiarity with demons are enough for investigation.

Fortunately, Xia De was overthinking. There was no trace of demons on the white-haired girl. However, when Xia De was investigating the abnormal spirits and elements, he found that she had a very cold power.

Once that power erupted, she would surely lose control, but now the coldness was firmly suppressed by her solar power, and even formed a delicate balance.

In addition, this girl was brought from the Far North by Miss Reinhart, so Shade even felt that he could guess what happened to her. Of course, although he was very curious, he would not be impolite to pry into other people's privacy.

Next, Shade prepared to purify the pollution here. Since the "snow mountain pollution" here was the same as that in the cave, there would be no duplicate holy grails when casting the spell this time. Otherwise, if Shade found an area and purified it inch by inch, he could obtain hundreds of holy grails.

The [Ice Crystal] Holy Grail from last time can be used to assist in casting spells this time, and the function of the Holy Grail has now been clearly investigated. It can freeze liquid into solid, which is quite simple.

In short, after a little preparation, Shade chose to stand on the ice above the spring to cast the spell, which was the core of the pollution in this area.

Miss Reinhart politely asked Shade if they wanted to leave, but Shade did not let them leave:

"Although this is a secret technique that belongs only to me, it doesn't matter if you see it. This is the power of the earth. When Miss Vanessa Benanis and I first met, she was attracted by this skill of mine."

Claire Reinhart didn't even notice that she curled her lips. She and her apprentice took five or six steps back, and then saw Shade take out an obviously large holy grail from his clothes, and then took out the cat curled up in the holy grail:

"Either stay on my shoulders or go play in the snow by yourself."

"Meow~"

With the cat on his shoulders, Shade sprinkled soil and flower petals into the Holy Grail. He closed his eyes and let the Holy Grail float in his open hands:
"The power of the earth·healing aura!"

The materialized Holy Grail sank towards Shad’s feet, but after it touched the ice—

Ding!
It hit the ice and did not sink.

"Oh?"

Xia De opened his eyes and picked up the Holy Grail. The witch asked worriedly:
"Can't cast a spell?"

"I really can't cast a spell in this position. The power of ice is preventing my spirit from changing the surrounding environment. It seems that the situation is different from what I encountered in the past. Since the center of the pollution source is deeper in the spring, I think I need to go into the water to cast a spell."

"no!"

The witch who had already walked over shook her head quickly:
"You don't know how cold the spring is. That was before it was polluted. I bet it's even colder down there now. It's not just ordinary low temperatures, it's cold enough to freeze the soul."

Xia De didn't care about it:
"Remember? I touched the fire from the nun. What I fear the least is the cold. Besides, we have come such a long way in a boat and finally got here. We can't just turn around and leave after failing once, right? If we can purify this place, the pressure on you and the other two elders will be reduced on All Souls' Day. There is no reason for us not to give it a try.

It just so happens that I can clean up this pollution, and it just so happens that I was entrusted with this task. It was simply destined for me to deal with this matter."

She pursed her lips and looked at Xia De. Seeing his firm attitude, she nodded slightly:
"But you have to be ready before you go into the water. I will give you some blessing effects. If there is any problem, we will end the attempt immediately."

Shad actually wanted to melt the ice and jump down, but not only Miss Reinhardt, but even Miss Larson thought his idea was too impulsive.

So the witch cast a spell on Shade, and Miss Larson took out the potion she carried from her bag. But she didn't give it to Shade now, but planned to give it to him after he came out of the water.

Mia was definitely unwilling to follow Shade into the water, so Shade wanted to ask Miss Reinhardt to take care of it temporarily. However, the cat still held a grudge and did not want to be held by the Great Witch of the Sun, so she stood by the spring.

This made Shad miss Vestal Woods again. He still remembered the scene where Mia and the chubby round-faced owl leaned against each other, waiting for him to return to the hotel under the sunset on the windowsill. That was last autumn.

The coat with all the toys in it must be taken off, and Miss Larson was in charge of holding it. The boots were placed by the fountain, and the rest of the clothes were left unremoved by Shad because the girls were there.

Although the black ice froze the spring, it still melted after the flame appeared. The inside of the spring was not frozen. Xia De bent down and reached out to touch the black water, and his whole body shivered from the cold.

"Is it really okay? Otherwise, let's go check out the second pollution site first."

Miss Rhinehart suggested again, but Shade shook his head again:
"It's okay. It's really cold, but it's not unbearable. I'll bear it for a while, and you'll have less stress on All Souls' Day. It's a good deal."

When leaving the town, the witch tied a sturdy rope made of tanned Asian dragon skin prepared in advance around Shad's waist, and the other end was held in Miss Reinhardt's hand.

Shade held the Holy Grail in his left hand and soil and petals in his right hand. He nodded to the worried ladies and cat, then jumped forward and fell straight into the ice hole.

"Oh!"

The quiet sigh made bubbles come out of his mouth. The coldness from all directions even made Xia De feel that all the joints in his body were sore, and the flow of spirit in his body began to become sluggish.

Fortunately, as the first crack penetrated Shade's right eye, dense red cracks soon spread all over his body. The warm flames in the "First Fire Embers" state effectively drove away the creeping chill, and even the mental interference effect of this polluted area itself was blocked by the First Fire.

"Praise Sister Develine."

He thought to himself, controlling his body to stop falling - the depth of this spring was beyond his expectation. He crossed his legs and let himself float in the icy water. He gently pulled the rope around his waist to indicate that he was safe and ready to start casting the spell. Then, just like he did on the ground just now, he placed the soil and petals in the holy grail. Before they floated out, he opened his hands and let the holy grail float in front of him.

Fine bubbles appeared due to the impact of high temperature and ice water, and then Shade's life ring emerged in the bubbles. The complete life ring allowed the spirit to be transformed into a force that affects the material world at a speed like a flood. The ancient magic inherited from the Ancient Earth Cult was once again demonstrated:
"The power of the earth·healing aura!"

The earthy yellow spiritual energy immediately gushed out from the mouth of the Holy Grail, and as the Holy Grail fell deeper into the spring, it gradually permeated the entire cold pool. Xia De heaved a sigh of relief. This time the spell was successful. Next, he only needed to continue to output his own spiritual energy and wait for the purification to be completed.

Of course, although a new Holy Grail cannot be obtained this time, the "Ice Crystal" Holy Grail will become larger because it has purified the pollution from the same source, which can be considered a small gain.
