The Whispering Verses Chapter 1370: Revisit the Night Temple
Chapter 1370 Return to the Night Temple
"In addition, Lesia also asked me to ask you, are you ready to sign up for the Tour of Tobesk Spring Horse Racing?"
Dorothy asked again, and the news about spring racing was something that Shade had heard about at a racetrack outside the city in the fall of 1853:
"If I have nothing to do then, of course I will participate. This winter, I have fully mastered horse riding. Especially in long-distance horse racing on complex terrain, I am quite confident in myself."
"Well, I will remind you when there is news. The prizes every year are actually very good. Of course, the most important thing for people participating in the competition is the reputation."
Dorothy’s green eyes looked at Shade:
"Knight, if you win the top three, I can play some interesting games with you."
The foot under the table rubbed against Xia De, and Xia De blinked:
"Did you also read those illegal publications of Agelina that Lesia took away?"
Dorothy’s smile remains unchanged:
"I won't come tonight. You and your cat can stay at home by yourself."
"I"
"I really have something to do, the elective exam."
She kissed the side of Shade's face.
After arriving in Randall Valley from Tobesk, the body temperature dropped by about three degrees.
The cat that became lazy after eating was just as Shade expected, it shrank in Shade's arms and refused to come out. When Shade came to the Wilde Opera House, Shade even thought about leaving the cat in the opera house and letting the girls of the opera troupe take care of her. But it was obvious that little Mia hated being taken care of by Shade more than going to the suburbs. Stay in a strange place.
The four people who went to the Night Temple together this time were Shade, Luvia, Miss Lassus and Miss Bernice.
The two leaders of the Golden Dawn have temporarily left the city, and the witch naturally has to explain how to deal with things if they happen. Shade took advantage of this time to ask Miss Lassers about the follow-up progress of the "petrified plague" incident that had appeared one after another since yesterday, but the situation was worse than Shade thought.
"The number of victims continues to increase and is completely irregular, appearing randomly among people of all ages. The only thing known so far is that the victims have lived in the Randall Valley for at least five years."
In other words, if the current situation does not worsen, at least Shade and Luvia will be safe.
"Is there any response from the church?"
Shad asked worriedly, Miss Lassus pursed her lips and shook her head:
"As I said yesterday, this is almost a plague, but it is not contagious and is not available for the time being."
"I heard from the association this morning that living in a church of the Church of the Sun and Earth can protect you from this influence, but the local church is only that big. In addition, some magical items from the Church of the Sun , can suppress the spread of the petrification curse, but now there are so many victims."
Luvia is also in a bad mood:
"The association held a ceremony last night to find out the source of this crazy situation, but the progress was not smooth."
Xia De thought for a while:
"The [Universal Earth Elixir] prepared with my Holy Grail, will it be effective after dilution?"
"Theoretically it should be possible."
Miss Bernanis came back and said:
"When we come back, you give me a Holy Grail, and I can make it into a elixir and give it a try. But even if it is effective after dilution, how many people can your Holy Grail save with the petrification curse spreading now?"
The four of them still rode out of the city, but Luvia had no experience in long-distance riding in the wild, so the four of them rode three horses, with Shade driving Luvia. It could be seen that the girl with purple eyes was quite happy. .
Because they had already been there once, and the departure time today was earlier than last Sunday, they waited until the four of them went deep into the eastern mountains of the Randall River Valley, stepped ashore from the frozen river, and saw from a distance When we reached the mountain where the spiritual temple is located, the time had just reached twelve o'clock.
Lead the horse ashore, walk through the cedar forest, and then tie the horse to the tree. In order to prevent them from being eaten by wild animals in the mountains, the witch also released "protective wild animals" for protection. The body of the wild bear that was killed by Shade's "Moonlight Wheel" when he and the witch came last time has disappeared, and it is not known who took advantage of him.
The four of them found the entrance to the cave from last time, and then walked up the steep stairs in the cave. Find the entrance to the cave, enter the entrance and continue upward. Soon you will see the light in front of you.
Hiding his face with his hands, Shade first came to the narrow platform on the side of the cliff and saw the remains of three stone arches.
The traces of the last time he and Miss Bernanice camped were still there, and only after arriving this time did Shade realize that the place where such excellent birds nested, not to mention the traces of the birds staying, even the birds No feces can be seen.
"It turns out this is here. Although it looks ordinary, the inspiration can sense a very ancient power."
The other three ladies also followed up at this time, and it was Luvia who spoke.
Looking at Luvia and Miss Lassus standing side by side and looking around, Shade suddenly had a strange feeling. Nearly two thousand years ago, they also came here together on a fine winter night, and then one of them said something about killing the other under the stars.
And this kind of thing has happened more than once. Only this time, when the two came here together again, what happened was different.
Thinking of this, the feeling of almost touching fate appeared again. A smile appeared on Shade's lips, and his arrival indeed had some significance.
"Your eyes look strange."
The witch patted Shade on the shoulder:
"Hurry up and set up camp. If you don't eat anymore, the cat on your chest will probably come out and scratch your face."
This cat's temper was not only due to not eating on time, but also because it was jolted all the way while sitting on the horse.
The chance that Shade used the ruby to exchange for "Fiona's domestic servant" has been used up. He thought that the four of them were going to heat up some food here. Unexpectedly, when the bonfire rose, the witch took out another A ruby was handed to him:
"Although I am not as rich as Carina, I am still rich."
Luvia smiled and pushed the hesitant Shade, so Shade used the ruby to cast a spell. After the sumptuous lunch appeared, the white note that came with the lunch stated that the ruby could be exchanged for two opportunities for kitchen service.
But this time, at the end, there is no simple drawing of a smiling face, but a simple drawing of a dragon maid, and the tail is exaggeratedly enlarged.
For Shad, the primary purpose of coming to the Night Temple this time was to extract the key to time, and the secondary purpose was to find the statue of the "ancient **** of space" mentioned by the long-haired Luvia. As for other secrets, including gold mines, they come second.
Of course, Shade also suspected that the "door" corresponding to the key he obtained from Count Granger was also here, but he had no hope of being able to find it.
After lunch, it was up to Miss Benanis and Miss Lassers to find a suitable location, and let Miss Lassers use the Order's magic to sense the memory of the earth to determine whether it could be extracted. Shade and Luvia returned to the cave to find the hidden wall.
"According to my experience, the entrance to this type of space is below the horizon."
Shad illuminated his eyes with his fingers while observing with Luvia in the cave:
"For example, the basement of my house, the underground wine cellar of the White River Valley Vineyard, etc. So, if nothing else happens, I should start looking underground this time."
"The floor of this cave is slightly higher than the outside."
Luvia said, taking out the obsidian pendulum she obtained in the Lake Eldron incident. After shaking it gently a few times, he said to Shade:
"Although I cannot divine the space left by the ancient gods, it is still possible to divine whether there is a downward passage here. It should be in the southeast corner, let's go inside."
Because Shade purified the land half a week ago, the corpses of those deformed animals are still lying inside the cave. Although the weather is cold and the decomposition rate is not very fast, maggots can already be seen.
Shad considered that it would definitely not be the last time he came here, so he took the time to clean up the inside of the cave. He was very gentlemanly and did not let Luvia do anything. After cleaning up, he and Luvia continued to walk towards the inside of the cave instead of above the cave.
The hollow in the mountain is very large, almost one-third of the bottom of the entire mountain. Shade should have been able to directly perceive the power of the ancient **** of space at close range, just like he discovered the space under the lighthouse on the island in the middle of the Pantanal Lake. But whether it was the influence of the power of the earth or the remnants of the power of the Dark Night Temple on the mountain, Shade did not directly sense his target this time.
He and Luvia spent nearly two hours in the afternoon, letting Shade's [Time and Space] spirit runes shine on every inch of the ground and walls, and even used the fossil-to-mud spell to melt some suspicious big rocks. But no trace of the hidden space was found.
Luvia even suspected that Shade was looking in the wrong place, but Shade couldn't tell where he got the information.
On the contrary, Miss Bernice and Miss Lassus made faster progress. At 2:30, the two ladies found Shade and Luvia who were still in the cave, and joined them again. Climb to the Black Night Temple high on the cliff.
A group of four people passed through three ancient stone arches and arrived at the open space at the end of the arches.
Originally there was nothing on the ground here, but last time Shade threw the Impermanence Card here, and after "violating" time travel, the ritual array of the sun, moon and stars that appeared was imprinted on the ground. When you push aside the snow, you can see that those traces seem to have existed thousands of years ago, and they don't look like they just appeared last week.
