The Whispering Verses Chapter 1872: The top of the bell tower

Chapter 1872 Top of the Bell Tower

The world was spinning, as if the tower itself was shaking violently. Holding on to the wall, the familiar voices in my ears disappeared one after another, and those familiar figures no longer appeared in the oil paintings on the wall. It seemed like many, many years, and it seemed like it was just a few minutes. Shade, who was holding the wall forward, finally saw the light of fire appearing above the rotating stone steps. He knew that he had finally arrived.

Shad didn't want to think about whether those tortures were what he was thinking, or whether there was really something simulating their voices. If he had encountered this problem a few weeks ago, he would probably have been seriously damaged here. But he has understood his own thoughts, and he has admitted his despicability and greed. Since you have done wrong things, then use your whole life to make up for them, just like what I promised to Lesia in the hotel yesterday afternoon.

Even if I hold on to the wall, I can barely walk. He struggled to walk the last few steps, but at this moment, he felt someone gently tugging on his clothes behind him. It was just a slight tug, but it seemed that the power was of great weight.

The man behind asked:

"This time, are you really determined to never be confused or regretful again, and to give everyone happiness?"

That was Luvia's voice, but if you listen carefully, it was clearly not the voice of one person. It was countless familiar voices superimposed together, and then asked this question. He could think of many familiar faces and the many stories he had experienced with them so far:

"I am you, loyal knight."

He replied in a low voice.

"Then, keep your word."

The force pulling at the back of his clothes disappeared. Shade looked back and could only see the dark stairs shrouded in black mist. There was no one there anymore, and Shade knew that those people had been taken back into his heart.

[Outlander, your soul has become stronger. 】

[Your resistance to illusions is greatly enhanced. 】

He looked behind him blankly, then pursed his lips and continued to climb upwards, feeling his body relax with every step he took. When Shade reached the end of the steps and the top of the tower, he even felt that he had completely returned to normal.

Not only did it return to normal, the soul-freezing coldness that was everywhere in the camp completely disappeared, and the black mist that became thinner due to the appearance of the fire on the top floor could no longer block his sight.

Because his body recovered so quickly, when he stepped over the last step and reached the ground, his feet even felt as light as if they were equipped with springs. There is no visible damage to the body and soul, and it is even more comfortable than holding Mia in the window and looking at the morning sun after waking up from a good night's sleep.

Although Shade felt very good, his appearance really shocked Miss Higgins.

This tower of unknown height is a bell tower, but it is not a bell tower with complex mechanical devices like Tobesk, but an old-fashioned bell tower with only one copper bell.

The area on the top floor is not very large. The copper bell rolled aside. On the surrounding walls that tilt slightly inward from bottom to top, there is a huge window on each side to facilitate the spread of the bell's sound.

The huge copper bell rolled down against the wall, and in the center of the top floor where the bell was originally located, there was a blazing bonfire. The flames were clearly the same as the flames outside the Black Mist Camp.

Miss Higgins stood by the bonfire, the tired Mrs. Miles sat by the fire, and there was a dark shadow in the corner that was difficult to spot.

The witch was frightened by Shad not because of his sudden appearance, but because of the tragic situation on his body at this moment:

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Although Shade's body and soul seemed to have experienced an illusion and were not damaged at all, the mud and his own blood stained on his clothes and skin would not disappear by themselves.

Because his head had just returned to normal, he hadn't realized how miserable he looked. Only when he saw Miss Higgins approaching with concern did he finally realize that something was wrong.

Looking down at his chest, and then using the firelight to look at the marks on his arms and sleeves, he knew in his heart that this suit of clothes was ruined.

"It's okay, but please let me take a break."

Although I have recovered from my injuries, I feel really tired. Under Miss Higgins' worried eyes, he came to sit by the fire with Mrs. Miles. It was difficult for Miss Higgins' spirit to recover here, so she did not treat Shade herself. Instead, she selected a bottle from the few remaining potions and handed it to Shade:

"Soothing, you need this."

Xia De thanked him softly, and after drinking the mint-flavored potion, he felt much better.

The black scale was standing by the fire at this time. Miss Higgins and Mrs. Miles brought a small bag with them when they went deep into the camp, which contained things that might be used.

Without asking the witch, Shade talked about his experience just now. From winning the bet to liberating the boy's soul against the devil, to talking about the strange items encountered in the camp, to the crisis at the lighthouse, of course, he never had the nerve to elaborate on what he heard and saw. Although I see myself clearly, there is no need to tell others.

"That's it"

Miss Higgins was a little embarrassed and pointed to the bonfire:

"The devil outside the camp didn't lie. We did come here according to its guidance. There is a way for us to leave the camp in this tower, but we haven't found it yet. Mrs. Miles came When we were here, we were almost dying, and the torches in our hands were about to go out, and there were no bonfires here."

The understanding Shade looked at the dark figure standing in the corner:

"What did you trade with it?

"The black figure inside the tower is quite unusual. You will never guess what products it has in its hands, but you can go and see for yourself in a while. Bonfires that can be laid on the top of the tower are sold here. I think Miles The lady was really desperate at that time, so she made her own decision to trade. However, most of the special goods sold by this dark figure could not even be traded with coins. The price of this bonfire was five coins, plus one. A complete test of the heart."

Miss Higgins pursed her lips and showed an apologetic expression, and Mrs. Miles on the side said for her:

"She thought that once she left the light of the bonfire, she would encounter a test, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to move here. Not long ago, she noticed that the number of coins on her body was missing by two, and she knew you were here, so she wanted to I have to wait until you find me to discuss how to deal with that test, but I didn’t expect it.”

"I didn't expect that even though it was me who paid the money, the test fell on you."

This witch with brown hair similar to Audrey and Megan bowed formally to Shade and apologized:

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, I really didn't know this would happen. When we leave, I will give you one-tenth, no, one-fifth of my future mithril veins. Please forgive me. ”

Xia De understood that this unreasonable disaster was definitely not caused by the witch in front of him. The rules of the camp are who pays for things, and Miss Higgins’ test falls on him, which can only mean that there is “someone” who is “joking” with him:

"It's okay, I don't want your mithril mine. However, if you can take it away, it will be mine."

Xia De said, then pointed to the small black scale. Who is joking with him will be known soon. As for the black scale, it came from everyone's first transaction. Although it is just an ordinary item, it is very important in the camp.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Miss Higgins agreed immediately, Mrs. Miles on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was quite happy.

As for the current situation, the relic that can summon the soul just by writing down the last memories - [Golden Memories] was brought here, so they just need to find a way to leave here. This time they The adventure is over.

Now that Shade appears again, Miss Higgins suddenly feels that at least half of the problem has been solved:

"You'll help us, right?"

Although she was a little embarrassed, she still asked.

Xia De nodded:

"You definitely can't leave here by ordinary methods, but I know there is someone who can definitely send you away safely. However, when Mrs. Miles's last story ends and the soul that has not returned home for a long time appears, we will Let’s talk about leaving.”

Miss Higgins smiled and nodded, but before the old man's last memory began, Shade first went to the dark shadow in the corner to find out what the other party could sell.

It’s just that the black figure remained motionless in front of Sha De, who was approaching. Even when he picked up the scale, there was no reaction.

The young witch was confused about this, and Mrs. Miles didn't even know what was happening. But Shade understood:

"None of this matters anymore, Mrs. Myers, please start the story."

The old woman took out the notebook and the ink mixed with blood and gold powder. Miss Higgins also came to the bonfire and sat down, curiously asked:

"Madam, I remember you said that you and your lover, Mr. Richard Knight Jackman, separated at the intersection of the path in front of the village. So the last memory is about the time of separation. Memory? ”

The old Mrs. Miles shook her head, with a smile on her face that was flushed by the firelight:

"It was not just me and him when we parted, but also other people who were saying goodbye. When he received the order from the lord to recruit and decided to participate in a distant battle as a knight, he told me his decision alone, and Say goodbye to me alone."

"Where is that?"

The young witch asked again. Although she had never felt love, she was really curious about it.

"That was a long time ago, but I remember it very clearly. It was also in the bell tower, yes, just like it is now. There are many people in our village, and the bell tower in the village has existed since I was born. The bell tower It is the highest location in the village. When I was a child, I often played in the clock tower with my friends.”
