The Whispering Verses Chapter 706: Meet the “Mermaid” again
Chapter 706: Meeting the "Mermaid" Again
Probably because Sister Devlin has already eliminated all the enemies in this corridor in advance, so although the burning corridor caused some obstacles to Shade's walking, Shade did not encounter any more enemies if he continued walking. .
The wine cellar is in the basement, and the door leading to the basement is locked. On the black iron door, there are fantastic images of giant beasts eating people and humans eating giant beasts.
When Shade reached out and wanted to use the [Door Key] to open the door, the pattern on the door actually twisted and turned into a huge human face:
"Give me all your gluttony and I will let you pass."
The buzzing sound followed the trembling of the iron door, forming an unclear sound.
"Full gluttony? No, that's not okay."
Xia De shook his head and reached out to touch the door, but a huge force pushed him directly back.
"If you don't give me the sin, you can't even think about it."
The face became ferocious.
"The whole gluttony is too much, let's change the conditions."
"Good food, food that satisfies me is okay."
Xia De thought for a moment, put his hand into his pocket, and took out a small pendant for a wine bottle. After restoring the pendant, it was found to be fruit wine made using the spell of [Blood Wine Brewing].
"Can I drink alcohol?"
He shook the container in his hand, and the ferocious human face opened its mouth, but inside the empty mouth was not the stairs leading to the basement, but the darkness where the face could not be seen.
Shad, who is proficient in space power, can feel that there is another space behind this.
So he threw the wine bottle in his hand, and the crack closed, and the ugly and twisted human face on the door let out a long sigh:
"Oh, this is really good, very tasteful fruit wine."
The sound of springs, pistons and gears came from inside the iron door. As steam sprayed out from the crack of the door, the door was opened. That's why Shade saw that the door was about as thick as three red bricks.
"Go over there."
The face on the door hummed, the ferocious face softened and even looked a little cute:
"However, there are guests of the owner in the wine cellar now, so you'd better be careful."
"Thank you."
Xia De said softly and stepped into the basement.
The entire Sin Mansion has now been steamed and gasified, so although the light is not very strong, there are indeed gas lamps on the walls of the underground wine cellar.
The wine cellar here is very similar to the wine cellar underground in Aurora Mansion, except that it is divided into upper and lower floors. Wine barrels are used to store wine on the upper level, and there are taps on each barrel, which can be accessed at any time to confirm the fermentation status of the red wine. On the lower floor are rows of shelves, with bottles of wine that are obviously very expensive.
The two floors are roughly rectangular, with a patio in the center of the upper floor. You can lie down on the fence to see what the lower floor looks like. The two floors are connected by copper-colored elevators at four corners. The elevators here are very unscientific, because even if you don't see a miniaturized steam engine, you can still raise and lower the elevator by stepping on the button in the center of the elevator.
The aroma of the wine is so fragrant that it makes you feel drunk after taking one sip, and it further stimulates the desire to "gluttony". There was a growling sound in his stomach, but Shade remembered that he had eaten a lot in the morning:
"I'll go out to talk to Sister Devlin later. I can treat her to a meal. The Mentongues restaurant where the priest invited me last time is a good one. I wonder if the nun can appreciate the fruit wine I've brewed."
Thinking about all the messy things in his mind, Shade walked down the stairs at the door and formally entered the wine cellar.
But the first thing he noticed was not the wine barrels, but the blue halo that was constantly shaking on the ceiling above the patio.
"Huh?"
Then I heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the lower level of the wine cellar under the patio, and then I realized that the halo on the ceiling was the water pattern of the lower pool.
But looking at the area of those haloes, the pool on the lower level is actually as big as the entire patio. Moreover, to form such a halo, there must be a light source under the water.
"[Sin Mansion] actually built a swimming pool in a wine cellar? Could it be that red wine was poured into the pool? What kind of sin is this? A waste of food?"
Although he was very curious, Shade did not get close to the upper fence to observe what was in the lower pool. He was worried that he would see something he shouldn't see.
Turn around and look for the elevator in the southeast. The trader just now told you the general location of the secret passage. It was up to Shade to find the specific way to go.
[Outlander, you feel the "whisper". 】
"I know, I am inside the relic now, and there are whispering elements everywhere."
Xia De replied in his heart, the moonlight lighting up his fingertips illuminated the surroundings, and he was curious about the purpose of the iron picks placed next to the wine barrel.
Then he heard "her" gentle laughter:
[No, this means that you feel a stronger whisper element. 】
"More powerful than [Sin Mansion] itself?"
Frowning slightly, he looked around.
[Yes, and you have encountered the whispering element of this characteristic before. This can be regarded as your old friend. 】
The word "old friend" immediately reminded Shade of Luvia's divination before departure.
[Yes, her divination is very accurate. 】
"Wait a minute, I originally thought the so-called "old friends" refer to Grace and Helen. Did I guess wrong? The old friends actually are"
There was a sound of water rising from the lower level, and it seemed like someone was swimming in the pool.
Xia De opened his mouth slightly and turned towards the patio with unusually slow movements.
His pupils shrank, and he saw that the halo reflected on the ceiling above the patio was getting more and more chaotic.
In the blue wave light, a shadow gradually becomes larger and clearer. As the seductive laughter came from below, Shade seemed to feel that his blood was on fire.
The shadow is not human-shaped at all. In the chaotic and disordered light and shadow, a mermaid with a human body and a fish tail can be seen.
He heard laughter, but not the familiar laughter in his ears, but the laughter coming from the pool below. The laughter is as refreshing as the crisp sound of wind chimes, and it is also like a cold drink in the hot summer that makes people feel refreshed. Even the severe headache caused by the Sin Mansion to Shade was relieved a lot.
But instead of making Shade happy, it immediately gave him goosebumps on his arms. The [Gluttony] that was amplified by the smell of wine was indeed suppressed, but another extreme emotion came up.
He realized who the so-called "old friend" was, and he would never forget this laughter.
A hoarse voice came from below the patio. Although "it" and Shade did not look directly at each other, Shade could feel that the other person was looking at him through a layer of ground:
"Look, let me just say, we will meet again."
I subconsciously retreated, but realized that I couldn't escape even if I retreated. He breathed heavily, suppressing his violent heartbeat and calming his body's restlessness. Then he slowly walked to the edge of the patio and looked at the square pool below from the fence.
Those beautiful, seductive purple eyes, like Luvia's, happened to look right at Shade.
The sound of gurgling water seems to indicate that this is a sight of living water, and the inexplicable light makes the underwater part completely invisible. All Shade could see was a woman's head looking up in the pool. It is difficult to use specific words to describe a woman's appearance, because even the most beautiful witch Shade has ever seen is far inferior to the appearance of this face.
"Indescribable" usually refers to those strange scenes that are beyond the scope of human description, and this face has reached the level of "indescribable" due to its excessive beauty. He fully believed that no matter how different the aesthetics of all things in the world were, there would be no creature that would not be fascinated by this face the first moment it saw it.
It raised its head in the pool, with a face that could make even the most steadfast ascetic intoxicated, looking at Shade above, and its white arms stretched out from under the pool, sending an invitation to him:
"Interesting souls, please come closer.
"[Desire]."
What is in the pool is the level 0 relic [Desire] that Shade encountered under the Aurora Mansion in Coldwater Port. Two months later, without any preparation, Shade met him again:
“Can Fort Midhill be more outrageous?”
He stood above and looked at the face, listening to the invitation from the hoarse voice. Even after experiencing so many things, when he saw her again, the primitive desire rising in Shade's heart was still close to out of control. Compared with [Desire], the negative emotions evoked by [Sin Mansion] are not worth mentioning at all.
The secret passage is at the lower level, and Shade cannot escape even if he wants to. What's more, Shade has no doubt that the other party has the power to wipe out the entire Sin Mansion in an instant. You must know that the entire life and death narrow space plus three death passages can be completely rated as level 0.
With the sound of rushing water, she was singing, using the language of the Fifth Age and her hoarse voice, singing about the love story between the expeditionary sergeant and the waiting girl:
"My beloved,
When I stood at the intersection full of rosemary,
Please don’t forget me.”
This is calling Shade down.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his rapid breathing, Shade went through the elevator on the wall, from the upper level of the wine cellar to the lower level, and passed through the dense wine storage shelves to the open space in the center of the shelves. Above the open space is the patio, and in the open space is the square swimming pool.
In the pool was the head of a woman whose beauty surpassed human imagination. She sang the last stanza of that little poem and "swam" from the center of the pool to the edge. Just like last time, the head was above the water, but the smooth shoulders could not be seen. Then, a fair arm stretched out from the right side, with a milky complexion and delicate skin, which even gave Shade the urge to rush up and take a bite.
"Are you so afraid of me?"
She smiled and asked Shade, who was standing ten meters away from the edge of the pool. The stranger shook his head:
"It's because you are too charming."
The beautiful face showed a smile, and the voice was so beautiful:
"Look, when the little boy turns into a real man, he even talks better. I don't know which girl is so lucky."
