The Whispering Verses Chapter 1375: “Butterfly Family: My Life”
Chapter 1375 "Butterfly Family: My Life"
"The lock corresponding to this key is here? In other words, the heart of the earth is here?"
Shad guessed, but there was no keyhole on the door, so the key was useless. However, there are four hexagonal depressions on the door, which appear to be used to place stones or gems.
"Four stone keys? Why is it always this kind of mechanism?"
Xia De muttered.
【Do you like five keys? 】
"No, no, let's have four."
He placed Mia temporarily on the ground, then rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand to press on the door:
"Fossils become mud!"
As expected, the stone under his palm turned into mud, and Shade quickly stretched his hand toward the inside of the stone door. But at the next moment, a huge force came from the door, and the unprepared Shade was ejected. It flew five or six meters away before falling to the ground, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
"Oh, it's so exciting~"
"Meow!"
The cat came to Shade's side at a trot. When Shade used his muddy right hand to support his body and get up, it took a step back and did not come closer:
"I knew it wasn't that simple."
He picked up the cat with his left hand that was not stained with mud and put it on his shoulder:
"The key to the butterfly and the earth, I'm afraid we have to find the Granger family."
【Do you think this is.】
"Mr. Lyman's tomb is most likely here."
Xia De did not look at the stone door again, but summoned his own life ring, letting the spiritual light of the [Time and Space] spirit rune shine on the wall. Sure enough, the smooth wall on the left side of the stone gate gradually disappeared under the aura, revealing a hidden path. Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that today's journey was still somewhat fruitful:
"At least the statue of the ancient **** was found."
"Meow~"
Mia barked, and Shade, who knew the cat well, said:
"I know it's time to have dinner. We'll have dinner after we finish exploring here."
The silver moonlight lit up my fingertips, holding the cat in one hand, and cautiously walked into this very familiar hidden road. The passage is not long, and soon we reach the circular space at the end. When Shade's eyes stared at the statue in the center of the circular space, the statue began to glow independently, illuminating the space.
“No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, below the sea cliffs of Coldwater Port, the old tower in the mountains of Monte Sikal, the Vineyards of the White Valley, the Pantanal Lighthouse, the Church of the Forgotten, and now here, the seventh place ”
Xia De was very satisfied with the result, and apart from the statue, this circular space was not empty.
In a place opposite the exit, similar to the stone pulpit used by priests to place books in a church, there is a thick book with a red cover. The book itself actually showed no trace of damage caused by time. When Shade got closer, he saw the gilded title on the cover:
[Butterfly Family: My Life. 】
"Sure enough, this is Mr. Lyman's cemetery."
Xia De sighed slightly, then opened the title page of the book. The dark blue ink seemed to be mixed with gold powder, making the floral letters sparkle——
[Memoirs of Fred House Lyman. 】
Continue to turn backwards, and the next page is still a few lines of text on white paper, but the letters are smaller:
[Thank you to Ms. Bretchett and the church for their help in building the cemetery; thank you to Sister Perry for your continued care; thank you to my wife, Lillian, Mira and Leifani, for accompanying me throughout my life; Finally, thank you to that gentleman, that god, and everything. May the earth be with you and me. 】
"Took away three. Sister Perry said that Mr. Lyman died of heart failure when he was 63 years old."
Xia De smiled, closed the book, and planned to take it back and read it slowly. This book was left by Mr. Lyman of the previous era. Because of the use of special ink and paper, it can survive thousands of years without being damaged. What is described above is Mr. Lyman's memoirs and stories related to butterflies. If Shade guessed correctly, there should be a chance to obtain spiritual runes or thaumaturgy by reading this book.
After picking up this heavy book, I discovered that there was a groove on the stone platform under the book, and in that groove, there was a hexagonal red gemstone. Shade picked up the gem and measured it with his fingers, then turned to look in the direction of the exit:
"I got one out of the four. The answer is right next to the riddle. It's really interesting."
About this cemetery, relevant content should be recorded in the memoirs. There happened to be nothing going on recently, so Shade planned to take it home and study it carefully.
Of course, before leaving here, Shade did not forget to temporarily turn Mia into a toy, and then touched the statue of the ancient god, officially establishing the seventh space landmark. After doing this, I left the passage behind the crack with the book in my hands.
When Shade took a few steps out of the cave and looked back, the crack disappeared. Surprised, Shade approached the crack again, and after getting closer, it appeared again:
"It seems like it's not a one-time thing. I don't have to climb to the top of the mountain first every time."
When Shade happily took Mia and the big book, climbed from the inside of the cave to the top, and once again came to the narrow cliff where the Night Temple is located, the last ray of the setting sun had already disappeared in the horizon. .
The three ladies were standing together on the open space with patterns of the sun, moon and stars at the end of the three arches, talking. The camp has been moved here, the bonfire is burning, and ritual symbols have been placed on the ground. It seems that everything is ready.
They soon noticed Shade walking excitedly, but the ladies did not immediately ask about the book Shade was holding. The purple-eyed girl said sadly:
"Xia De, we asked you to play by yourself in the afternoon. What did you do?"
They all looked at Shade. He was covered in mud and snow, his clothes had several obvious tears, his right hand was covered with mud, his boots had almost changed color, and his hair also looked like Covered with a layer of ash.
Although the question was a bit strange, Shade said happily:
"I did a lot of things this afternoon! I had a fight with a tiger, and I won, and then played a game of Rhodes with a soul under a tree. Well, two games. Then I climbed to the top of the mountain to clear the snow, held Mia and watched the sunset, and found the fragments of the poem left by the Witch Emperor. Finally, I went to the bottom of the mountain and found the statue of the ancient **** and the hidden passage, and also found this. ! ”
He showed the book in his hand to the three ladies in front of him:
"The harvest from this trip is really huge."
"Really, still just like a child."
Luvia said and walked towards Shade:
"Change out of your clothes. When you return to the city, you must take a good bath while I ride on Miss Benenice's horse."
Shad was really dirty, but Luvia still pulled Shad’s sleeves and pulled him towards the camp.
The blonde witch smiled and said:
"Just now we were discussing what you might do this afternoon. Luvia said with certainty that you will definitely find someone to play Rhodes. Even if you can't find someone, you will also play with strange things. Play cards."
"It seems Luvia was right."
Miss Lassers on the side also said with a smile. They returned to the campfire together. After Shade took out a new top, pants and boots, they helped him change clothes together - winter clothes were very thick. , there were other items of clothing inside Shade’s pants.
"Actually, I can change my own clothes."
He muttered quietly, but no one seemed willing to pay attention to him. After changing clothes, Luvia combed Shade's hair with a comb, and Miss Benanis called out a large ball of water to wash Shade's hands, and then the four of them started to eat dinner.
They sat around the campfire, eating the sumptuous dinner in exchange for the ruby, and listening to Shade's story about his experience this afternoon. [Ancient Fairy Tale Cinderella], the stone toy, the now non-luminous key, the memoirs, and the crimson gem were all taken out by Shade. By the time he finished telling the story beside the crackling campfire, dinner was almost over. It's about to end.
"I'm still curious, what did you know to make you believe that there must be secrets around here, and you really found so many things."
Luvia whispered, but she didn’t mean to ask. She played with the red gem:
"So, do you think there are other secrets in the grave of Mr. Lyman, who married three butterfly girls in the fifth era?"
"Yes, Sister Perry said, Mr. Lyman left me something in the cemetery that might help me. And the secret here is not just the cemetery of butterflies."
According to Long-haired Luvia, there is a power directly representing the ancient **** [Earth Mother Goddess] near the Night Temple.
Shad suspected that the antique key he obtained from Count Granger was intended to be used here. The evidence lies in the fact that the words used on the stone tablet on the top of the mountain are obviously earlier than the time when Mr. Lyman lived. Shade suspected that the crack already existed here, but Mr. Lyman transformed the part behind the crack into a place where he slept. place.
"I still need three gems to open that door, but I think there should be clues in the memoirs. I even think the lock corresponding to the key is deep in the cemetery. Just in time, I still have to wait a week or two, Only in this way can we see and solve the demon, and only after solving the demon can the guardians be willing to truly show up, as for the chosen ones of the earth."
Shad did not continue, Miss Benanis said:
"You and Luvia, are you really sure that the guardian is the chosen one of the earth?"
She is holding the toy stone tablet. Since it is related to the Witch Emperors, the parliament will of course keep the stone tablet in its collection.
Before this, Shade did not disclose the relationship between the chosen ones and the guardians, but the witch could vaguely guess it. After all, all Shade's actions revolved around those guardians.
PS: There is a recommendation on the 30th, and I will update it then.
