The Whispering Verses Chapter 1925: 【Creation Space】
Shade, who was soaked in the rain, gradually walked out of the river, turned into a red butterfly and flew into the middle outlet that was still spitting water, then turned into a human and walked inward. This water outlet is so huge that even if Shade stands upright, it won't touch his head. The water came almost up to his knees, but Shade didn't care.
I walked more than ten steps inward and stopped at "her" reminder. After closing his eyes and using "Powerful Spatial Perception", he opened his eyes again. Inside the huge pipe that originally had only water flow, there was actually a metal box decorated with gold.
The box looked like a typical "treasure box". Not only was it made of gold, but it was also embellished with diamonds and various gemstones on the surface and joints. Even if you just take a look at it, you will know that there must be a rare treasure in the box. But correspondingly, such an exaggerated shape will only appear when the opera troupe performs.
The box was almost completely submerged by the water, with only the top remaining above the water. The constant washing did not make it rust or corrode, it just caused some garbage flowing along the water to wrap around the box. The surface of the box is still smooth and clean, which is the luster of wealth.
Amidst the huge splashing sound of water, Shade frowned slightly and took a step back. Then thunder exploded in his hand, and the dazzling spear formed by silver-white thunder was thrown out violently:
"Thunder Gun!"
Thaumaturgy bombarded the box head-on, and then just as Shade thought, the box that had been dented by the thunder gun bombardment immediately "bounced" up.
Shad watched as two slender legs appeared under the box, supporting the box to stand up and freeing the box from the running water. On both sides of the box, slender arms stretched out, waving randomly in the air.
The lid of the box opened with a snap, but there was no gold or silver treasure inside. Instead, sharp teeth and a thick bright red tongue were exposed. With two slender legs as its legs and the treasure chest itself as its body, this humanoid creature opened its mouth and waved its slender hands towards Shade.
"It turns out to be you, a clerical relic - a Mimic."
This is a relatively well-known humanoid relic. Shade once saw this kind of thing on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" together with Lecia, whose pseudonym is "Miss Princes".
The characteristic that [Mimic Monsters] usually exhibit is that they transform into treasure boxes to attract people to open them, and then take the opportunity to eat the people who are attracted.
But different Mimic monsters have different behaviors. For example, the one on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" only blocks the only way to pass through the cabin corridor, while the treasure monster in Green Lake City uses hidden space gaps to hide, and then continuously throws "treasures" outwards , attracting people to come and find the source of the treasure.
If Shade guessed correctly, those people who came to hunt for treasure should have been eaten by it.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Shade took a step back and disappeared, allowing the monster that opened its arms to "hug" him to pounce.
Shad, who appeared behind the Mimic, did not launch an attack, but threw two "Sin Chains" at the monster. The sound of chains clattering was buried in the sound of water. One of the chains was nimbly dodged by the slender-legged monster, and the other chain collided with the thick bright red tongue that popped out of the box mouth.
The impact was not loud, but what surprised Shade was that the Mimic's tongue actually bounced off the [Chain of Sin]. This was the first time that the chain had been completely bounced off. But thinking that his [greed] came from this thing, and that relics like the Mimic Monster seemed to be sin in themselves, Shade was not very surprised.
The monster turned around and pounced on him again. Shade stood there and held his breath, counting one, two, three in his heart:
"Moonlight Sword!"
The hands held in virtual grasp were thrust forward, and a silver sword appeared out of thin air and penetrated the "mouth" of the treasure chest and pierced the chest. As a relic, this monster itself is extremely difficult to destroy. Apart from hypnotizing it to fall into a deep sleep and then attacking like Lesia did in the past, its only weakness is its mouth.
However, Shade only had the second ring when he was in Coldwater Port, and he was able to deal with it with Lesia's cooperation. The battle at this time was certainly not difficult.
The great sword turned into dots of silver light and dispersed into the air. The monster's slender limbs and the treasure chest itself turned into lime gray, and then scattered into a pile of dust like sand sculptures, blending into the water.
Thump~Danglang~
A succession of jewelry and gold and silver jewelry fell into the water along with the sand. These are the treasures contained in the "mimic monster" itself. In fact, after killing such monsters, you can get their treasures in most cases. The last time we were on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship", it was obvious that the pirates had looted all the monsters' treasures in advance, so there was no harvest at that time.
"These things have whispering elements attached to them, which will amplify people's greed. They must be disposed of before they can be sold, right? It's not just ordinary items?"
He looked at the shiny "hills" piled up in the water, squinted slightly, then bent down and put his hand into the water, then pierced the jewelry, and finally took out a key:
"The key to time."
Put away the key, then take out the handkerchief from your pocket, turn the handkerchief into cloth and cover it with the jewelry. Because they have the whispering element attached to them, turning them into toys costs slightly more souls, but Shade doesn't care.
He picked up the toys in his hand and straightened up to put them away. He was suddenly startled when he saw that there was an item under the slightly turbid water that had not been turned into a toy.
To be precise, it was not an object, it was a playing card lying under the water, but it was not damaged:
"What? This is"
Even Shade, who didn't have much emotion when he blew up the tavern just now, held his breath. He sensed the surroundings and confirmed that it was not a trap, then quickly bent down to pick up the card from the water. Then he realized that the card was not damaged in the water because the card was embedded in the center of a transparent glass plate.
Gently shake it a few times to shake off the water droplets on the glass plate. Then he saw that on the card, a man whose face could not be seen was facing away from the card. He was holding a book in one hand and pointing into the card with one hand. The background of the card was strange glowing bubbles in the infinite black starry sky.
Xia De controlled his trembling hands, took a deep breath, and looked above the card.
The upper right corner is marked with the number 10, and the upper left corner is the very familiar small "moon" symbol. Between the two, that is, in the center of the front of the card, there is a black vertical line drawn in a white circle, which is the logo of the "Original" series.
Moving his eyes to the bottom of the card, there are a few lines of small words written there:
[After drawing this card and before the suspension phase, you can choose whether to activate the effect only once: throw a coin, if it is heads, the opponent will discard the first card and the last card at this time, and draw a new card; If it is tails, exchange your first card with any card of the opponent's suit that is not "Moon". 】
"The effect of space is forced exchange."
Turn over the glass plate to the other side, and it turned out to be the familiar pattern on the back of the Rhodes card. Then with a slight exertion of his fingers, the glass of unknown age was completely shattered.
Glass shards fell into the water and were washed into the Duin River. Shade pinched the cards in his hand and waited for a while, then "she" in his ear chuckled:
【Authentic product. 】
The stranger's back was to the pipe exit, so the thin sunlight that barely penetrated the dark clouds could not illuminate the smile on his face at this moment.
Since I passed this card in the Lost Forest in the Fifth Era, and now on the eve of the decisive battle at Green Lake, [Impermanence Space] has come into Shade’s hands in a completely unexpected way.
Raised his hand and placed the card in front of his right eye. Looking ahead again, I saw no abnormality. Shade was not disappointed by this, but wiped his hands, carefully took out his deck, and then replaced Moon 10 [Origin Space] in it.
He turned and looked at the exit of the pipeline a dozen steps away, looking at the city across the river, feeling that his exploration of the Green Lake area was finally complete.
Shad believed that the smile on his face could not be hidden, because when he returned home after throwing away his glass slippers and emerged from the hotel underground, the girls he met could see that he was very happy at this time. .
"Xia De, you are back? Huh? Why are you so happy?"
When they met Miss Aurora and Miss Carina who were talking on the first floor of the hotel, they asked the brisk Shade what good things happened to him. And when Shade showed [Origin Space] and told about the boy and the Mimic, the red-haired duchess raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then thought of the divination last night:
"Is she really so accurate in divination?"
The rain is still so heavy, and when people are preparing for a big event, they will find that the speed of time passing is the same as the speed of the falling raindrops, which can only be felt but not touched.
The time soon came to five o'clock in the afternoon. Because the invitation only said tonight and did not specify the specific time, everyone had already agreed that after five o'clock it would be Laplace Klein.・Howard may "force an invitation" at any time.
The clock in the corner of the first floor of the hotel rang five times. In the Green Lake Hotel where only Agelina was left as an ordinary person, everyone took action. Although Mr. Sauron Green was not a magician, he still Definitely not ordinary.
The sound of hurried footsteps went up and down the stairs, and pleasant voices commanded or told information. Auras of light erupted on the walls everywhere, and the complex ritual matrix carried elements of miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment and whispers, perfectly connected and integrated to work.
Even the best ritual master cannot tell how many rituals were carried out in the Green Lake Hotel in just a few minutes after five o'clock, and how many thaumaturgy, spells and witch secrets were affected.
The final battle of Green Lake is finally about to begin.
