Whispering Poems

Chapter 699 The Weakened Seal
"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask just now, where did this sword come from?"

Luvia asked curiously.

"I got it on an adventure with the doctor. This is an angel-level long sword. Unfortunately, I can only hold it for a short time."

Xia De hadn't had time to talk to Luvia about the sword.

"Oh, this is really powerful."

Dorothy also said:

"It turned out that you entrusted me to take care of your cat temporarily on Monday because of this reason. But what did you and the doctor do to get a relic of this value?"

Both girls looked at Xia De curiously, Xia De glanced at the doctor, the doctor shook his head hastily:

"Let the detective say, mostly the detective's credit."

"Um"

It was impossible for Xia De to say that the doctor swallowed a Balrog, so he could only keep his mouth shut:
"This is also a secret, not a very important secret."

Since Xia De claimed to have a solution to the problem on the third floor, the others did not stay long, and left after saying a few words.After all, Shadra came so early, most of them hadn't had breakfast yet.

After Xia De said goodbye to his friends in the hall, he did not turn around and go upstairs, but waited in the hall for a while.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door, and it was Luvia who had returned.

"Are you going to Fort Midhill today?"

She asked directly, and the two went upstairs together to continue their conversation.

"of course."

"There was another earthquake there. The last earthquake caused the emergence of evil spirits and the strength of those scary guys. I don't know what will happen this time."

Luvia said worriedly.

"It's not just that."

Xia De asked Luvia to sit down first, and he waved his hand to draw a black crack in the air.Luvia immediately closed her eyes, her strength was not enough for her to look directly at "death".

And Xia De looked at the tidal flat in front of the tranquil waters illuminated by the dark moon through this crack, and the red golden bonfire on the tidal flat that belonged to the trace of the [Tree Kiss] mystical seal. The flame was a little weak:
"The seal I left has been severely weakened after two earthquakes. Unless I take the risk and push the door through the narrow gap again, once the third earthquake occurs, the effect of the tree kiss will completely collapse. It's back to where it was before I got to Fort Midhill again."

In fact, Xia De wanted to say "before the priest sealed", but he promised the priest not to tell his secret.And the thaumaturgy [True Death] can allow Xia De to pass through the crack and directly enter the gate of death, but in this way he will directly complete the transformation from the world of the living to the world of the dead, and his soul and body are the subject There is no such change, so the transition must be made through the narrow space.

"No, no, you can't go again, do you want to die again? You can escape last time, but this time is not necessarily the case. Don't forget that after the two earthquakes, the narrow space itself has also undergone new changes."

Luvia blocked Xia De's thoughts:
"The key now is the third chosen one. The poem has already indicated that he or she can solve this big trouble."

But the problem is that four coins are not enough for divination.

"I understand. I will enter the sin mansion today and try to get that blood money."

Xia De picked up the long sword on the coffee table:

"Can't wait any longer, if not for the existence of Fort Midhill, then to get ahead of the church and college. Iluna told me last night that the church is already taking action. Once I can get enough coins, almost all the current dilemmas can be solved.”

"Wait a minute, I will perform a divination for you, whether this trip will go well."

Luvia reached into her pocket and took out a silver coin with profane elements.This is the clerical-level relic [Seer's Silver Coin] that Iluna applied to the Church of the Sun.Even ring warlocks who have not learned divination can rely on this coin to enhance their own inspiration, and capture more traces of fate when making a choice between the two.

And for ring warlocks who are proficient in divination, this is almost a "divination amplifier".Although it has the flaw of misleading fate and thus falling into the trap of fate, this coin is an extremely useful relic for any fortune-teller.

Luvia asked Xia De for a hair, rolled the hair with one hand, and tossed the coin with the other.There seemed to be a light in her purple eyes at this moment, and the coin that was thrown flying did not fall, but kept spinning in the air, and it took a full half a minute before it fell.

Luvia closed her eyes and opened them after taking a deep breath:
"I don't see whether this trip will be life-threatening, but I can be sure that you can meet an old friend in that secret-keeper-level [Sin Mansion]."

"Old man?"

"It's not someone you met at Midhill Castle, it's someone from a faraway place."

Either way, getting new coins is the most important thing right now.

The home is not safe now, so after sending Luvia away, Xia De took the cat back from the church and sent it to Dorothy, asking her to take care of it.In this way, he can leave Tobesk with peace of mind.

The location of [Sin Mansion] is closer to the top of the mountain than the abandoned tower in the mountain.According to the information provided by Granny Cassandra, this relic rated as a secret keeper usually does not stay in one place for more than three weeks, and when Shade stepped out of the abandoned tower and felt the blood When Qian can still feel the same kind of coins, he will know that [Sin Mansion] is still on Mount Xikale.

Because of yesterday's earthquake, Xia De was still very worried about encountering evil spirits on the way up the mountain.But he was very lucky this time. Of course, it may also be because there is no fog in the Xical Mountain in the morning, so the journey was safe.

It's just that with the arrival of late autumn, most of the green color when Xia De first saw it in early autumn has turned into golden yellow.The leaves falling from the branches not only dyed the ground golden, but also made the branches bare. I don't know if this scene heralds the end of the city below the mountain.

Although he didn't encounter any evil spirits, Xia De met a group of ring warlocks from the Orthodox Church on the way.Knowing each other's identities is because they used magic to disperse mosquitoes in the mountains while walking, and splashed holy water on the ground, as if they were surveying the terrain.

It seems that the large-scale ceremony led by the Church of Nature is really about to start.

At 23:[-] in the morning, Xia De, holding the [Night Watchman], came to the periphery of the [Sin Mansion], and saw the three-story building surrounded by a fence with black spikes from the fallen leaves.

It was just beyond Xia De's expectation that when he turned his eyes to the main entrance of the building, he happened to see that door closing silently.I don't know if some unlucky guy entered it by mistake, or the souls captured by the relics in the [Sin Mansion] are working.

The night watchman's long sword was inserted in the scabbard and was held by Xia De in his hand. When Xia De walked out of the forest and officially stepped on the gravel path leading to the mansion, the sword immediately vibrated slightly.But when Shad passed through the black fence gate decorated with thorns, the sword returned to its original state, as if he knew that the sword-wielder was determined to approach a dangerous place.
