The Whispering Verses Chapter 2326: The Cat and the Sun
Chapter 2326 The Cat and the Sun
Throwing the golden box that had been turned into a toy, Shade was actually very curious as to how Miss Gold's family had collected this set of armor before. Just judging from the appearance of the outer packaging, this thing is definitely extraordinary.
"Mia, get ready to go."
He waved to the cat, turned it into a toy, and put it into the chest pocket of his shirt.
Based on the lesson learned last time, Shade did not wear a coat this time, but directly held the clothes full of toys. Turning around and waving to the worried Luvia, Lesia and Miss Carina, he took the key with cracks on the surface and pointed it at the door of the study:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
Click~ After a sound, the keyhole was turned, and behind the opened door was the endless white mist. Shade waved his hand behind him again, prepared to face the scorching sun, and then stepped into the fog door.
"Oh!"
Stepping out of the fog, the blazing sunshine still made Shade narrow his eyes, who was mentally prepared. Coming from a dry and cool home to this steamer-like place, the harsh environment is highlighted even more intensely.
The wind is carrying heat, and the golden-like gravel slowly rolls on the sand surface with the wind. The undulating sand dunes under the scorching sun are endless in sight, and even the scenery of the sand dunes in the distance is distorted by the heat of the air:
"Although Granny Siam and the others said that the probability of dark night here is extremely low, why can't I encounter it?"
In just a few seconds, the sweat on his back had soaked his clothes, and the sweat on his forehead also fell down his cheeks. Shade patted his chest to make sure the cat's doll was still there, and then quickly ran in the direction he was facing.
Because it was so hot, he didn't realize that the cat doll on his chest was also heating up. But it doesn't matter, because he himself is also feverish.
The feeling of dry mouth appeared faster than expected. Without the blessing given by the sun altar, even Shade would not be able to move under the sun for too long. But fortunately, I was prepared this time, so I felt that the journey was not very far. Shade, who was dizzy from the heat, soon saw the familiar half-collapsed temple in front of him.
And Miss Knight, the female knight who was obviously waiting for Shade at the door, was the first to notice him.
She turned around and shouted something behind her that Shade couldn't hear clearly, so the old elf Siam Nord's mother-in-law and the mermaid Miss Sandel also appeared at the door. The last one among them, and the tallest one, was Miss Meister, the desert "dancer" with light brown skin and an inexplicable smile on her face.
Everyone looked very happy. Miss Sandel waved her hand to say hello to Shad. Granny Siam Nord even ventured out of the door and took a few steps into the sunshine, pulling the dizzy Shad in. temple.
Xia De, who entered the shade, didn't even say hello to them. He sat down on the bench, then took out a water bottle and poured it on his face, breathing heavily for a while before he recovered.
"Are you okay?"
The blue-haired girl blew three pearl-white bubbles at Shade. The bubbles exploded on top of Shade's head, bringing a new sense of coolness.
"It's okay now. It's amazing that you can persist here for so long."
I don’t know how long it has been since Shade last left, but it seems that they haven’t changed much.
The few boxes that Shade brought last time are still piled up against the walls inside the temple, but they look much worn out. The temple is still the same as before. The windows and doors have long since disappeared, leaving only the door frames and window frames. Looking towards the end of the rows of stone seats extending inward from the entrance of the temple, the sunlight pouring in from the cracks in the ceiling, It illuminated half of the altar and the entire wall of this ancient building.
"The [Dragon Feast Order] can exert such a strong power by relying on the ancient god's sacrificial site. If I can get this place to the sixth era and so on, I don't have the [Supreme Binding] beside me. The unknown eldest son of the Japanese."
He shook his head violently, and Grandma Siam Nord handed Shade another bottle of green potion. Shade sniffed it and drank it without asking what it was.
In the light mint flavor, a refreshing feeling emerges from the inside out. Shade sat up straight and looked at the bottle in his hand in surprise. The old elf said with a smile:
"After you left, darkness fell here again. Miss Meister and I took advantage of the dusk and night to explore a nearby smaller ruins and rushed back here before dawn.
Some knowledge was brought out from the ruins of that small village, including the formula for this potion. The material requirements are very simple. This is a medicine for villagers in the desert to avoid heatstroke. ”
"This potion is very useful and tastes good."
Shad stood up after regaining his energy:
"Long time no see, Grandma Siam, Miss Meister, Miss Sandel, Miss Knight."
The old elf smiled and nodded. The light brown-skinned lady was still smiling. The blue-haired mermaid responded excitedly. The gray-haired female knight made a knight gesture to Shade just like last time. present.
Shad knew what Miss Sandel was excited about. Time was precious and he did not waste it on reminiscing. Instead, he went to dig out the toys in the coat he was holding in his hands.
Miss Aurora has just arrived at Moon Bay, and Shade hasn’t had time to ask about topics such as "Modern Mermaid Recipes", but he at least remembered to bring a lot of seafood this time.
The most indispensable thing in Yuewan City is seafood.
Miss Sandel was very happy to organize these supplies with Miss Knight, but Miss Meister still sat aside and did not reach out to help. The old elf was also sitting, but she was explaining to Shade what had happened here since he left last time.
In addition to encountering the dark night again, which allowed them to gain some benefits from their exploration, the old elf also re-read the half-stone tablet and the parchment that Shade and Miss Meister brought back from the temple ruins last time. information.
It was not difficult for this elderly elf to translate those texts from the early fifth era, and she was very surprised to discover the content hidden on the parchment after using ancient technology to configure the manifesting potion. :
"The third of the compass fragments you brought back actually has the ability to resonate with the positions of other compass fragments."
The old elf put the piece of metal into his hands and held it:
"But this resonance has a distance limit and can only point to a general direction."
As she spoke, she softly recited the incantation written on the parchment. Then, two light spots actually appeared on the surface of the fragment, and no matter how Granny Siam Nord rotated the metal fragment, the light spots always pointed in the same direction.
"Where are these two directions?"
Xia De asked.
“One direction is roughly the mausoleum with the knight statue we talked about last time, but this desert has a strong spatial confusion ability, and you have to arrive to be sure;
The other direction is probably far away. Look, the light spot is shaking. When you bring back the second compass fragment, you should be able to accurately determine the direction. ”
She said and handed the broken pieces into Shade's hands. Taking it with you will obviously make it easier to find your target.
"Okay, let's set off as soon as possible, mother-in-law."
As I said that, I wanted to contact the "Altar of the Sun" to obtain blessings, and then go out to explore the ruins, but when I saw the dazzling sunlight, I thought of another thing:
"Oh, I almost forgot about it."
Shad took out little Mia's doll, covered it with clothes and shook it gently, and then the furry cat head came out from under the clothes.
"Meow~"
The wide-eyed cat looked at everything around it ignorantly and carefully, and barked at Shade very gently. It soon wagged its tail, got out from under the clothes, and then looked at the surrounding environment quite excitedly.
Xia De's previous worries seemed to be unnecessary. Little Mia had no intention of not adapting to the environment here.
The meowing also attracted the attention of others, and of course Siam Nord’s mother-in-law, who was sitting with Shade, was the first to see it:
"What a beautiful cat~"
She praised, and even wanted to reach out and touch her, but of course little Mia avoided it. It followed Shade's arm and quickly moved up to Shade's shoulder, as if it wanted to get a better look at this place from a higher place.
Miss Meister, who was sitting next to her, also looked at the cat and praised it with a smile, but she had no intention of reaching out to pet the cat:
"Such brilliant hair, so beautiful."
Miss Sandel and Miss Knight were sorting things by the wall, and when they heard the cat meowing, the mermaid girl, who was holding a dried fish in her mouth regardless of the image, was the first to turn her head and look over, and then happened to meet little Mia's eyes.
Shad didn't know what the cat's psychology was, but it actually gave the blue-haired girl a threatening "meow~", which shocked Miss Sandel, and even the small dried fish in its mouth was missing. A little fell to the ground.
Judging from the fact that she was actually frightened by the cat, this girl's mental state is indeed very unstable.
As for Miss Knight, she didn’t have any special reaction. As long as it's not a monster, having an extra cat here won't make her lose her temper.
"Why did you remember to bring the cat?"
Grandma Siam Nord asked curiously, watching little Mia looking around on Shade's shoulder.
"This cat has been identified and has very little [Son of the Sun] blood. I want to try to see if it reacts to the sunshine here."
As Shade said, he picked up the cat and stood up:
"I'm going to the altar to get blessings. Grandma Siam Nord, please decide who will set off with me this time. I need someone to lead the way."
Then he walked towards the altar deep in the temple, but Shade did not immediately go to "praise the sun". After standing at the edge of the shadow in the room, he said softly:
"May the sun bless my Miss Gold's cat."
Then he quickly stretched the cat towards the sunlight, but before little Mia could react, he quickly hugged it back into the shadows.
"Meow?"
The cat felt that it was shaken violently and its beautiful amber eyes widened. The time just now was too short, and the cat seemed not to be affected at all.
