The Whispering Verses Chapter 1654: Desert, cemetery and maid skirt
"Doctor, can you see where this is?"
"There is only sand here, and I don't have the ability to taste the sand and know where it comes from."
The blue-eyed middle-aged man shook his head on the roof, squinting and looking into the distance of the desert:
"In order to track down demons, I have been to many places, but I have never been to desert areas. Demons tend to haunt places inhabited by humans. Such desolate areas only have sealed demons, and this kind of sealed Existence is the hardest to find."
"I have been in the Green Lake area during this time, and I haven't encountered a demon there yet...actually I have."
He briefly described the glass bottles filled with colorful smoke and blue giant spirits that appeared from the river in the past "Seven Days Travel Story", and the doctor showed a surprised expression:
"This is quite famous, a sage-level relic [Repayment of Greed]. Make a wish, realize it, and then you will be unlucky. The characteristics are as simple as that. The devil who was sealed in the bottle and became part of the relic is called 'Wish Demon-Zatanna'. Just as humans can become relics, so can demons. Moreover, it was unfortunate that it became a relic after being sealed."
"Can you swallow this?"
The wind and sand were strong, so there was no need to worry about Luvia, who was spreading salt, hearing this conversation.
"Of course not. I can absorb the original power of the devil, not the power of the relic. The whisper element is not that easy to deal with. If the opponent becomes a relic, it cannot be regarded as a pure ancient evil spirit demon. Give a simple example. , you can eat tomatoes, but you definitely can’t eat tomatoes that have become relics.”
As he spoke, the gravel rolling on the roof shook with the strong wind.
Luvia reminded the two of them loudly under the roof:
"There's something coming underground."
In fact, she didn't need to remind her, because as the ground shook violently, multi-legged sandworms that were taller than the warehouse had already emerged from the sand.
It has multiple legs and jointed limbs, and its open mouthparts are densely packed with sharp barbs. After meeting this thing, Shade was worried that he would not sleep well after that.
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
He asked while watching the sandworm's movements, and the doctor motioned to Shade not to do anything:
"Come on, when I was in Randall Valley, I originally went to help you, but in the end, except helping Anat defeat a strange thing, I did almost nothing. After returning to Tobesk , and I can’t fight with all my strength in the city. This is a good opportunity for you to see the battle of the Seventh Ring Warlock.”
The doctor said, but did not call out his life ring. He glared at the sandworm that was about to attack, and his momentum actually caused the huge insect to stop stiffly.
Then, the doctor neatly cut open his palm with a dagger and threw his blood forward. As the blood spilled on the sand, large swaths of wriggling shadows took shape under the starry night of the desert. Then the towering "giant" with burning flames appeared completely in front of the warehouse, grabbed the huge worm, and held it hard. He dragged it out of the sand alive.
"The Balrog?"
"It's not a complete Balrog. I got inspiration after reading your book "The Book of Demons of Malbas". In the past, I borrowed the power of demons myself, but in fact, I can completely summon the demons sleeping in my body. The power of those devoured demons."
His hands violently pulled to the left and right, and Balrog also made similar movements, so the giant sandworm was torn into two pieces by Balrog. The insect with extremely strong vitality was not dead even though it was like this, but then the black mud of "human pus" spurted out from the Balrog's mouth, symbolizing the power of the deepest darkness, completely corroding the insect.
Unlike in the forest, the only enemy this time is this sandworm. Luvia moved quickly and completed the containment and reinforcement of the coffin before the second enemy appeared.
The dusky night sky of the desert disappeared, and the night view of Tobesk shrouded in fog reappeared. Dorothy and Priest August jumped from the warehouse yard to the roof and asked what had happened. Dr. Schneider immediately closed his eyes and turned around to let Shade answer, for fear that they would see the horrific scene remaining in his eyes.
Luvia looked out from the door of the warehouse. For a moment, she couldn't understand whether the big movement just now was caused by Shade or Dr. Schneider.
In her opinion, both of them have the ability:
"Why do I think that?"
The girl with purple eyes asked herself doubtfully.
This night seemed longer than other nights, and the "desert" appeared near ten o'clock in the evening. Then when midnight arrived, something went wrong with the relic again, and this time the scene that appeared after the space was confused was a small island, and the warehouse was located on the edge of the island.
As for the enemies that appeared, they were the water ghosts that Shade was very familiar with. There are no very powerful individuals among the enemies this time, but the scene of densely packed water ghosts charging towards the warehouse after landing from the water is still mind-numbing.
Although there are many, the solution this time is quite simple. Priest Augustus snapped his fingers, and the serial corpse explosion technique detonated the first water ghost, followed by a series of explosions. This kind of thaumaturgy can detonate another corpse in the nearby area after the corpse explodes, which is very convenient when dealing with this kind of scene.
After midnight, there were more police officers patrolling the warehouse area for some reason. The "Martial Law Tonight" mentioned by the patrolman encountered when the carriage came here has become a reality. Doctor Schneider even went to the police passing by the entrance of the warehouse courtyard to inquire, but he did not find any valuable clues.
At about 1:30 in the morning, a man who had been shot in the body stumbled through this area. It's just that he doesn't seem to be dead for a while, and the team is still on a mission, so they don't pay attention to him.
It was only at two o'clock that Shade listened to Dorothy in the yard. The man who passed by just now seemed to be the person MI6 was looking for. Of course, that was not the unknown nobleman of Delari, but the waiter responsible for receiving the nobleman.
Because of the gunshot wound, he did not escape the pursuit of MI6. It's just that Lecia unfortunately informed Shade through Dorothy, who bit the poison sac in his teeth and committed suicide.
The fourth mutation in the coffin occurred at 3:17 in the morning. At that time, Shade and the doctor continued to chat on the roof of the warehouse, while Dorothy guarded the coffin in the warehouse camp. When Tobesk disappeared in the night and the endless cemetery scene appeared, Priest August and Luvia in the courtyard did not follow them.
"Where is this cemetery? Why is it so big?"
The doctor looked around suspiciously. Shade was about to speak when he heard the girl in the warehouse say in a panic:
"Someone help me, something is wrong this time, the coffin is shaking and the things inside are knocking!"
"Shad, go ahead. Remember, you cannot open it under any circumstances."
The doctor frowned. The information given by the college did not mention this situation:
"Maybe the environment here has affected it. This cemetery is very weird. You and Louisa will deal with it, and leave the rest to me."
When Shade jumped off the roof and returned to the warehouse, he immediately saw the match girl carrying a small basket and the sleeping princess in a sky blue dress, working together to suppress the violent vibrations of the coffin.
Dorothy nervously sprinkled the salt in her hands by the campfire, but after the salt came into contact with the coffin, only one-third could remain, and the rest melted almost immediately. The whispering elements originally suppressed by the coffin are rapidly spreading to the surroundings. As the knocking sounds in the metal coffin become louder and louder, the angel-level relics have begun to directly affect the surrounding environment.
Danglang~
The Night Watchman was placed flat on the surface of the coffin by Sha De. Although the relics contained in the coffin were suspected to be stronger than Sha De's sword, fortunately, the [Night Watchman] could exert its full power, but the relics inside the coffin could not. .
The orange runes of "My heart is clear and my sword kills demons" became brighter and brighter in the light of the silver sword body, and the vibrations of the coffin were gradually suppressed.
"Xia De, hurry up!"
So Shade, Dorothy and the two girls who were summoned sprinkled salt together, and the winged humanoid corpse that appeared outside the warehouse flew into the air to fight with Doctor Schneider.
Fire, lava, black mirror, and silt, the doctor showed a fighting power far beyond that of a normal mid-level warlock. When the last rotting corpse was split open and fell to the earth, Shade and Dorothy also successfully suppressed the relic. However, after the spatial chaos ended, Shade did not take back the [Night Watcher].
The whispering element did not completely shrink back into the coffin, which means that the power of the contained relics has not subsided, but it is unable to cause other abnormalities because of the presence of the [Night Watch].
Shad asked Priest August and Luvia to enter the warehouse together and guard the coffin with Dorothy. He returned to the roof and informed the doctor of the current situation:
"We can't continue like this. Once this relic breaks through containment, we won't be able to deal with it no matter how powerful we are."
"Let me ask about the college."
The doctor said, sending a letter to the college through the poem manuscript page. Because the team was on a special mission, the response from the college came back quickly, even late at night. The doctor unfolded the letter with the school badge and looked at it twice before handing it to Shade:
"Through our description, the college believes that the power of the cemetery just now stimulated the remains in the coffin. The momentary riot of the power of the relics caused problems with the coffin itself as a containment measure. However, there are solutions, as follows When there is a problem, placing a cat or a black crow on the coffin lid can effectively solve the problem. As for the problem of the coffin itself, the next batch of ring warlocks who will take over the task after dawn will deal with it.
"Crow? I can't find this right now, but a cat?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"How about I catch one now? There are a lot of stray cats in the city, and I heard a lot of cats meowing nearby tonight."
Spring has arrived after all.
"The academy said that it is best to be a cat or crow with certain special abilities. This is the safest..."
The doctor looked at Shade with some embarrassment, and Shade nodded:
"Okay, I'll find little Mia. This is a bit dangerous for it, so when I come back, let me take care of the coffin."
Now that little Mia is at Lesia's place, Shade called Dorothy out alone on the pretext of checking whether the reconnaissance ritual in the courtyard was damaged in the previous battle, and then explained what happened to little Mia.
"No problem, let me talk to Lesia. Although she has already fallen asleep, our communication will not stop because of sleep. I will ask her to take Mia to join you now."
"Already asleep? No, no, don't let Lesia go out."
Xia De shook his head:
"I'll use the glass slipper to go home, and then go to the entrance of Yodel Palace. Just ask Lesia to send someone to deliver little Mia to the door. The cat won't miss me."
The blonde girl pursed her lips and looked at him:
"It's okay if you really... I'll ask Lesiya to arrange a carriage for you to take you back. Pay attention to safety on the way. After all, martial law is still in place tonight."
Throwing a glass slipper in the city of Tobesk will consume enough spirit that you don’t even need to use a pink vial to replenish it. And when Shade came to Yodel Palace, because he came too fast, the carriage and cat were not there yet.
But he didn't wait long before he welcomed the maid holding the cat and the carriage that was going to take him to the west of the city. I just got closer and took a closer look. The red-haired maid wearing a black and white maid dress who stepped out of the carriage with the cat in her arms was clearly Lecia:
"How could I not come to see you?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess said angrily, and the cat who was still sleepy suddenly became energetic when he saw Shade:
"Meow~"
Shad hugged Mia, and then gave Lesia a hug:
"Go back and rest quickly, I will take care of the warehouse affairs."
She probably got up from the bed in a hurry, and even her hair was simply **** with a maid's hairband decorated with ruffled lace. The smell of the perfume is very bland, but the smell is just right for Shade.
"You have worked hard too."
Her Royal Highness the Princess stood on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face, then motioned to Shade to see her outfit:
"How about this maid dress? Maybe I can keep one in your house."
"Of course...I mean, we can wait until the next time we meet to discuss this topic."
Under the gas streetlight beside Silver Cross Avenue, the red-haired girl smiled brightly.
