Chapter 1946 The Fulan brothers had a sword fight with the manor
Grandma Cassandra disappeared suddenly, without finishing the last sentence. But Shade was not worried about the safety of the doctor and the priest. He probably guessed that the doctor's coffin could also be used as a special surface vehicle, so the two decided to try to break through the barrier between the two islands.
Based on the doctor's luck, Shade was worried that they would always get lost in the fog; but with the reliability of Priest August, Shade felt that maybe soon, he would be able to see the two members of the group taking that ride. A coffin appeared in front of him.
After the contact with Granny Cassandra was over, the girl in the hotel came forward as usual. Miss Hayley Aurora steamed Shade's clothes, and Tifa brought the potion.
This time Shade was out for a short time, so Lecia and Dorothy asked Shade what he had encountered without any worries. However, Shade discovered that although more girls who were originally unconscious were awakening in the hotel, there were also more people who needed rest and healing.
"The surrounding monsters are getting stronger, and their perception ability is also getting stronger. Every time there is an earthquake, the blood in the fog outside will be thicker, and they will become stronger. I have a feeling that this city The island is coming to life."
Lecia explained to Shade worriedly:
"Although the hotel can still be maintained now, your campfire can ensure that at least the first floor is safe, and there are enough healing potions. But judging from the current situation, there will be no problem here within an hour. Time It’s hard to say how long it will be. After all, we don’t have many high-level warlocks.”
Lecia and Dorothy are both five rings. They knew that they were at the lowest level, so they did not bother to join the battle. They just summoned the princess with the spindle and the match girl with the basket to act as guards at the door. And because she did not participate in the battle, Lesiya was responsible for the distribution of supplies here and knew the most about the current overall situation of the hotel.
"Don't worry, it won't be that long."
Shad said:
"Don't worry about anything, leave everything to me. Maybe things will be over in the first half of the night. When it gets up tomorrow, we still have time to spend the remaining half of the Red Butterfly Day."
The tree root had just been handed over to Grandma Cassandra for delivery outside the island. The big tree under the island is most directly related to Edwards' magic. If people outside the island can figure out the secret of the tree roots as soon as possible, they should also be able to learn how to get to the island.
Now everyone is racing against time, and Shade even believes that Laplace Klein Howard, who has been in the Edwards Mansion, should also be counting time. He wanted to use Shade and Iluna, who was unknown, to help him complete the last part of the ritual, but Shade and Iluna were actually using this to gain power.
It is still unclear who will lose and who will win in the race against time, but it cannot be said that either side has fallen into a disadvantage yet.
More than thirty minutes have passed since the entire Green Lake Hotel appeared on the island. People from outside the island are about to arrive, and the Edwards family dinner is about to begin. Shade guesses that he probably won't have many chances to come back here. So after a short rest, he once again left the hotel with the girls seeing him off.
Enter the forest along the already familiar road. Although the monsters wandering in the rainy night and fog have become stronger, because Shade's connection with the island has become deeper, he can move more quickly. Bypassing every battle, he quickly passed through the forest and entered the town again.
On the way, they encountered two more supplies sent by the church from outside the island. Among them were alchemy dolls that could spontaneously attract monsters, which made Shade's progress more convenient.
As for the small town in the thick fog, there are still no pedestrians on the road. When they reached the location where the cross collapsed and the blood tree rose, the kneeling townspeople were still there. Shade just bypassed them and went straight to the road leading to the hills in the south of the town.
Because he had already encountered something in the town once, he thought he would be able to walk directly to the door of the Edwards mansion this time, and then be forced to find keys or invitations. Unexpectedly, at the end of the originally straight road, he was blocked by a manor that should not exist.
The manor happened to be blocked at the intersection leaving the town and leading to Edwards' old house. The gate of the manor was open, and the firelight from the window of the house could be seen in the misty courtyard, as if to welcome Shade's arrival.
"Just now it was the Edwards brothers and the Green siblings. Isn't it the turn of the Fullan brothers this time?"
Xia De did not choose to take a detour, so he entered the manor with his long sword and entered the open mansion along the central axis of the courtyard.
Just as he thought, entering the building, there was a magnificent banquet hall. Men and women in formal wear and long skirts all gathered together and watched two people in the crowd competing with each other.
As expected, those were the Fulen brothers. The two brothers, wearing left and right monocles respectively, were dueling each other with a bayonet at the moment. Their postures were quite standard, but they had no armor, and their attacks were quite ruthless.
When Shade saw them, the two brothers had wounds all over their bodies. As they moved, blood flowed from the red-stained clothes to the carpet. Looking at the carpet carefully, it is clearly a carpet made of fine tree roots.
The onlookers cheered happily, applauded, or loudly encouraged the two brothers to continue the attack. Each of them stood still, and no matter how much their upper body moved, their lower body would not move at all.
In the end, Shade found roots piercing the soles of the feet from under the floor of a lady wearing high heels, and then realized that the townspeople here were indeed controlled by the big tree that ran through the entire island. With.
Shad walked through the crowd and came inside. Both the Fulen brothers turned to look at him, but their movements of wielding the sword did not stop at all, as if their heads could no longer control their bodies.
Xia De did not stop their movements, but said directly:
"Let them stop, what are you going to do this time?"
"Just wanted to show family bonding."
The voice came from beside him, and Shade looked at Laplace Howard, who was wearing a black formal suit, a handkerchief stuffed in his chest, and a glass of red wine in his hand:
"The family bond of your family is to force twin brothers to fight each other?"
"This is not life-threatening."
The fortune teller said calmly:
"Compared with this cruel world, this is already a very kind method."
Xia De smiled mockingly:
"Let them stop. I will continue to move towards your mansion. What do you want me to do this time? Or use my perfume to feed your family's big tree?"
"It looks like you already understand the meaning of this."
"How could you not understand?"
The Fulen brothers stopped attacking each other and retreated from the carpet of tree roots.
The fortune teller turned around, took a long sword that looked very similar to the [Night Watch] from the old man who looked like a butler behind him, and then made an invitation gesture to Shade:
"Do you want to compete with me in swordsmanship? I heard that the Godcaller has excellent swordsmanship. Give me a try. You only need to persist for five minutes. No matter you lose or win, you can continue."
He took the initiative to walk towards the red carpet:
"The time is almost up. This is the last hurdle that blocks your progress. I promise you that after this duel, you will get an invitation letter, and my descendants who you are thinking about will be safe. Waiting for you in the family mansion."
He stood still on the carpet and turned to look at Shade:
"How about just treating this as a warm-up before the banquet? We will discuss a lot of things tonight, and if you can beat me, I am willing to tell you some things in advance that you have always wanted to know."
"For example?"
Xia De frowned deeply, and the fortune teller waved his long sword and danced with beautiful sword flowers:
"For example, what exactly did Lesia Cavendish and Dorothy Louisa choose to do after being chosen by the world?"
Shad walked towards the carpet with the sword in hand. The fortune teller smiled, holding the sword hilt with both hands, and raised the sword:
"Come, let's follow the duel etiquette."
So Shade also raised the [Night Watch] and touched his sword. The two of them each took two steps back. After adjusting their breathing rates, they stepped forward and waved the weapons in their hands.
The quality of the long sword in the fortune teller's hand is certainly not comparable to that of an angel-level relic, but it is undoubtedly an extremely strong weapon. The swords of both sides were intertwined. Although the sword gradually appeared cracks, it did not break due to this.
And the soothsayer's swordsmanship is really superb. His current body is still not his true body, but his strength is surprisingly strong, even stronger than Shade's. Fortunately, his "exquisite" swordsmanship is still not as good as Xia De's now "master" level swordsmanship.
They had a tacit understanding that they did not use thaumaturgy, and just engaged in the most classical duel like ordinary people. While the swords were clashing, blocking, dodging and parrying, the townspeople gathered around continued to cheer and applaud.
They were not just cheering for the soothsayer, they were also cheering for Shade's outstanding attack.
The five-minute duel was not very long. Even though his strength was slightly inferior, Shade still had the upper hand with the convenience of weapons and swordsmanship. The fortune teller's black formal suit gradually became more and more cracked, and the body that didn't know where it came from would bleed out.
Although Shade made several mistakes and was penetrated by the opponent's long sword, but even in the end, his clothes were only damaged and he did not suffer any real damage during the whole process. The sword fight between the two sides was conducted with restraint and elegance, and the long sword exchange did not contain the ruthlessness or determination to kill the opponent.
But Shade would not relax his vigilance because of this. At the end of the five minutes that could even be called harmonious and friendly, when the long sword collided with the long sword again, the sword in the fortune teller's hand changed suddenly. At this moment, Shade immediately understood that he was finally going to reveal his true purpose.
