The Whispering Verses Chapter 2778: Hunter’s inheritance
Chapter 2777 Hunter’s inheritance
"What happened to you?"
It was only then that the nun asked, so Shade, who was a little nervous just now, looked back at the soul on the boat that was gradually turning from completely transparent to color, and then quickly explained that today's pursuit of clues, and then in the deserted village Encountering sage-level relics and demons:
"That ghost of resentment now possesses the power of both a demon and a sage-level relic [Remaining Resentment], and it seems that the demon of fire, Dezast, also put the first fire he devoured into this clone. ."
Xia De concluded:
"In short, this is a difficult nun opponent to deal with. We need to wait until we have confirmed all the clones of the demon before we can take action.
My witcher friends believe that it has divided itself into at most four parts now, and I have confirmed two. Therefore, now is not a good time to take action. ”
He fully believed that if he had not said these words, Sister Devlin would have returned to the real world to deal with that thing. Although Shade was at a disadvantage when fighting the resentful ghost, Sister Devlin is the twelve-ring Death Chosen One, and her fire resistance is much higher than Shade, so she can perfectly restrain the opponent. of all power.
The nun with the mithril eyepatch nodded slightly, and then Shade told her about the recent events related to the chosen ones, especially the "War of Time".
But the nun didn't react at all. She just nodded to show that she understood. This was her usual behavior.
In the end, Shade asked the reason why the nun appeared here. Sister Devlin did not hide her purpose:
"Understand death. I can't help with matters in Vesta Grove. The Paradox Bug is not affected by death. I need to improve my power."
She didn't speak at all when she spoke, and her voice had an echo effect.
The witch on the boat showed an expression of awe, and Shade asked with concern:
"So you've been here since we last parted in the woodland? Is it okay for you to be here?"
Although she is the chosen one of death, she is also a living person.
"It's okay by the fire."
The nun who bowed her head slightly said:
"Since there is no immediate need to deal with that demon, I will continue to stay here. Please feel free to call me when needed."
"No problem, Sister, but you'd better not stay here all the time. This is just a suggestion, not an order. Then I will deal with this matter first, hoping there will be clues."
As he spoke, Shade turned and looked at Flora. The latter was a little confused and didn't know what Shade meant. Seeing that Shade pointed at the soul on the ship, she realized that Shade wanted her to ask about the soul. .
In fact, since Sister Devlin is here, it might be faster to let Sister Devlin do this. But since Shade had asked Flora from the beginning, he naturally wouldn't change people midway.
Of course the witch herself understands this truth, and she also knows very well that the nun standing on the shore also understands it. So she felt a little happy in her heart. After making sure that the silent nun had no intention of suddenly taking action, she cast a spell on the old woman who was gradually filled with milky white light:
"Thaumaturge - Guide to death."
Shadow also had this thaumaturgy, and after Flora cast the spell, the soul regained some consciousness, and then tremblingly he walked off the boat on his own initiative.
She disembarked from the end of the boat close to the water. When she stood on the water like the departing souls in the distance, a long sigh of relief came:
"Finally, it's over."
The black flame burning in the soul disappeared silently, and the whispering elements gradually melted into the light of the dark moon.
The soul of the old woman who was lost in the disaster a hundred years ago regained her consciousness, and a tired look appeared on her originally expressionless face. After a moment of confusion, she looked at the three people on and off the boat:
"Thank you. Young people, which one of you has the [Demon Hunting Seal] in your hand?"
This question really surprised the three of them, or at least Shade and Flora. The soul of this old country man showed that she was definitely an ordinary person during her lifetime, but thinking that she was the only soul that really existed and asked Shade for help, Shade quickly found the black iron ring:
"I have it, do you need this?"
He handed the ring to the old man standing on the water at the bow of the boat. This was also part of the test, but fortunately the other party did not react abnormally after touching the ring.
She held the ring in her hand and handed it back to Shade after a moment, then sighed again:
"I've seen a ring like this before."
This meant telling a story, so Xia De cooperated and asked:
"When?"
"In the autumn of 1689 in the Universal Calendar, it was the first rest day after the Moon Dance Festival that year. The young people working in the woods all returned to the village, preparing to go to the town to prepare supplies for the winter.
That night, a strange traveler hurried out of the forest and wanted to spend the night with us. In the end, it was me who made the decision and lent him the stable where the collective horses are raised in the village. He claimed to be a hunter from afar, looking for and chasing a terrible prey, and he wore such a ring on his hand. He didn't stay too long. He helped clean up the stables early the next morning and thanked us before leaving the village for Ximu Town. ”
It sounds like someone came here for the devil a century and a half ago.
"At night three days after the hunter left, the young people returning from the town brought back the terrible thing, and a fire broke out in the village.
The flames were going to devour everything in the village, houses, houses, livestock, and souls. The hunter arrived at the last moment. He's a professional, he's trying to defeat that evil spirit, that flaming monster, that **** beast."
The soul of the old woman said this expressionlessly, while Flora finished the second half of the sentence for her:
"The hunter failed, right? He failed to defeat the demon? I didn't know that even in the sixth era, there were still people chasing demons. I originally thought that everyone only met demons. I will find a way to fight against it.”
"No, I guess he didn't completely fail."
Xia De also said:
"Did he summon that relic [Remaining Resentment]?"
The old woman who told the story in a hoarse voice nodded, and Shade guessed that she should be the wife of the village chief:
"He failed to defeat the evil ghost, but he protected me in the end. I don't understand the power of powerful people like you. I only remember that he said that he would use his soul as a sacrifice to summon the 'relic' 'Seal that thing.
He told me that he would keep my soul from being lost in those flames. But I have to do him a favor. After a long time, someone will definitely break into the fire that burned the village again, and there will definitely be someone who wants to deal with that demon. If someone is willing to rescue me at that time, and that person also has the [Demon Hunting Seal], let me give this to him. ”
"What?"
The old woman reached behind her and took out a page of parchment with burnt edges - Shade didn't know where she took it out. She handed the page to Shade, then bowed slightly to the three of them, then turned around and stepped on the dark water, bathing in the light of the dark moon and walking towards the depths of the water.
Gradually, her soul stood together with those souls that had also left, and they could no longer be distinguished.
Flora did not call her, but looked at her back from the boat;
"Stories about death are always so resonant with people's souls. Just now I was wondering why the devil would use this relic to limit his power. It turns out that someone sealed it. Although it was not completely successful, Just like the "Forest Hunters" three hundred years ago, their achievements are enough to be passed down to the next era."
"But we don't even know his name."
Shad said, looking at the parchment in his hand. With the Chosen One and the Witch standing beside him in death, he was not worried about leaking information, so he read the above content directly:
[Latercomer, I was passing through the Vista Woodland and accidentally noticed the traces of Dizast, the demon of fire who was supposed to be sealed. It has been found out that it used unknown means to break free of the seal, and discovered my identity during the chase with me.
I will use my last resort to try to defeat it. If you see this parchment, then at least the worst has not happened yet. I will tell you the legend and skills of Dizast, the demon of fire, and tell you how to defeat it. I hope that those who come after you can succeed.
Note: The devil's collaborators in Ximu Town are related to local herbal medicine vendors. 】
The seal pattern of [Demon Hunting Seal] was printed behind this paragraph. When Shade's fingers touched the pattern, a complete message automatically appeared in his mind.
The complete message contains detailed information about "Dezast, the Demon of Fire" and past legends. Some of the details are even more detailed than what the doctor told.
The following part of the information is——
[Outlander, the inheritance of the "Demon Hunter" was detected]
[Possessing "Demon Hunting Seal", qualified; mastering at least one hunter's technique, "Seeing Demons", qualified; having been cursed by at least one ancient evil spirit, qualified; recognized by other hunters, Night Watchman I have recognized you and you are qualified. 】
Xia De's life ring emerged silently in front of the dark moon, and the cold and holy moonlight illuminated every spiritual rune on the brass ring.
Sister Devlin and Flora both raised their heads to look. The huge life ring seemed to echo the half-calm moon at the end of the water. This scene is silent but has a sense of divinity and power. What Shade pays attention to is not the life ring, but the prompting voice given by "her":
[Outlander, you have obtained the "remaining advice" of thaumaturgy. When you encounter evil demons that have been fought by witchers, you can get some hints from past hunters. Corresponding to the "Echo" spiritual rune, you need to wear the "Demon Hunting Seal" to perform thaumaturgy. 】
Then "she" said rarely:
[This is one of the few ways to convey experience and wisdom in an era when intelligent beings were fearful and intimidated. 】
