The Whispering Verses Chapter 2327: Start again
"Is the time too short so there is no response?"
[Even if an ordinary person's hand is burned by the flames, there should be no abnormality. 】
"Well, that makes sense."
So while Shade was preparing to use "false immortality" at any time, he stretched the cat into the sunlight above the altar.
Miss Meister in the distance also looked at this scene. As the cat's hair was illuminated by the hot sunlight, the orange hair that was originally shining was actually glowing against the sunlight. It emits a reassuring warm yellow light.
In other words, it is Xiao Mia herself who is glowing in the sunshine. It squatted in the palm of Shade's hands, looked up at the crack in the ceiling collapse, then raised its head and called out "meow", and the light on its body became even brighter.
Shad felt like he was holding a small sun in his hand, because little Mia's body temperature was rising rapidly in the sunshine. At the same time, some faint miraculous elements were enriched from the altar under Shade's palm toward the luminous cat bathed in light.
So Shade waited with great anticipation, wanting to witness that the cat was finally exposed. It was finally going to show more abilities that he didn't know about.
But after waiting for a long time, little Mia only heated up and glowed in the sun. In addition, Shade, who was full of expectations, did not wait for other things to happen.
The cat was very happy, and turned to look at Shade while bathing in the sunshine. Its big amber eyes almost turned into gold. Shade felt himself in a trance for a moment, and then gently stroked the cat's head amidst the tingling sensation of the sun on his palms. The glowing cat still rubbed Shade's hand gently.
So, "she" in my ear chuckled and said:
[Foreigners, this cat has received the blessing of the sun, and it can briefly move around in the sunshine of the "Golden Sand Sea". But for its health, it is not recommended to do this for a long time. 】
[Foreigners, this cat’s “Son of the Sun” bloodline has been initially improved. When you carry this cat, all your own solar-related abilities are enhanced. This effect is permanent. 】
"It feels like something happened, but it also feels like nothing happened."
Little Mia suddenly let out a "meow~" because she felt the hand holding her under her body suddenly disappear. However, because Shade's hand was not very high from the altar, the cat kept its squatting position and landed on the table.
Red butterflies danced in the sunshine on the altar, and then Shade, who was kneeling on the altar, appeared next to the cat. He opened his arms and faced the sunshine with squinted eyes:
"Praise the sun!"
At this moment, all the sunlight entering the temple was converging towards Shade. The sudden dimming of the light made Granny Siam Nord and the others look over.
The sun shines on Shade's body, and little Mia tilts her head to look at Shade. Only this time, Shade didn't see the golden-haired woman smiling back at him in the blazing light. He just heard "her" reminder:
[Outlander, you have received the temporary blessing of the "Desert Sun". You can walk in the sun for long periods of time, and the power of the sun is temporarily enhanced. 】
When the abnormal light effect caused by the blessing returned to normal, the red butterflies with golden lines on their wings flew off the altar again. Little Mia was still squatting in the sun, and then Shade picked her up from there:
"I know you like the sunshine here, but we don't have much time this time, huh?"
When little Mia returns from the sun to the shadows, her almost amber-gold eyes and the orange part of her orange-white fur are still emitting a faint golden light.
Xia De poked the cat, causing it to meow "meow~":
"Is it still glowing? Well, little Mia, use fire breathing!"
So the cat really opened its mouth, but this time it spit out not the sparks like before, but a handful of real flames.
After the flame came out of the cat's mouth, it floated forward very slowly. Although there was a little gold in the fiery red color, it still didn't look very powerful.
Seeing Shade actually reaching out to the flame, Miss Meister, who always had a smile on her face, almost stood up.
But Shade felt nothing when he touched the flame. He "imprisoned" the flame in his palm and shook it for a few times, then violently clenched his fist to extinguish the flame. The cat squinted its eyes and nuzzled Shade gently, and then a familiar little flame ignited in the cat's tail.
[It absorbs excess sunlight and needs to consume some in this way. It is not recommended to turn it into a toy until the tail flame is extinguished. 】
"She" reminded softly again, and Shade nodded, feeling that this time the "Cat and the Sun Exploration Experiment" would probably only have this result. But since "she" advised Shade not to take back the cat immediately, Shade planned to let it move around in this desert.
As Shade explores more places, the cat, who originally could only move in a small area throughout his life, also sees more and more stories and scenery. Shade wondered whether little Mia would eventually become the most knowledgeable cat, and "she" just laughed in Shade's ear.
"That's it for now, little Mia. Oh, ladies, I'm ready to go, and I brought a lot of armor this time. Mother-in-law, have you decided who will go with me?"
He walked back to the ladies with the cat whose tail was on fire, and they had already discussed the outcome.
"The people who have been there are Miss Sandel, Miss Meister and Miss Knight."
The old elf pointed at the three people:
"Xander should not follow you. She is too fragile in the sun, and someone must pick you up."
The blue-haired mermaid smiled sheepishly, but did not object to this arrangement.
"It was you and Miss Meister who went out together last time. I think you worked well together. Miss Meister, please go out again."
Grandma Siam Nord continued to make arrangements.
"No problem, I'm happy to keep going out."
The light brown-skinned lady said with a smile, and Shade breathed a sigh of relief. With the gods following him, there is a high probability that there will be no big problems.
"As for Miss Knight."
The old elf looked at the gray-haired female knight again. She looked away from the flames on the cat's tail and stood up immediately. The others did not do this when they were mentioned just now.
"I am actually inclined to let you go with me. You are a knight yourself, and the tomb seems to be closely related to knights. Maybe you can help if you follow. But it is still daytime outside. Ordinary people like you are in danger when you go out."
After a pause, he said:
"But it's not completely impossible for you to go with us, but you need to take risks."
"I don't care about the risk, please let me help."
The female knight said seriously.
Grandma Siam Nord nodded, not surprised by her answer:
"Okay. Shade, you and Miss Meister and Miss Knight are setting off. Sandel and I will stay, and then Sandel will go out to greet you later, just like I did last time."
The old elf himself has never been to the mausoleum ruins, so he cannot pick up the group.
"No problem, mother-in-law."
Shad nodded immediately. As for Miss Knight's willingness to take risks, it was her own decision. In such a dangerous place, everyone must make their own contribution. As an ordinary female knight, since she is willing to prove her worth in this way, Shade will not stop her.
Of course, if she is really in danger, Shade will help her.
So Granny Siam lent her piece of withered [Eternal Youth Leaf] to Miss Knight, and then asked the mermaid girl to cast some spells on Miss Knight's armor to stabilize the temperature.
Finally, Granny Siam used some black ink that they had collected while exploring other ruins before Shad came to write some elven runes on the surface of Miss Knight's armor, and then asked Miss Meister to use those The fine yellow sand uses the secret techniques of the desert tribe to release some blessings.
The gods must have used means to deflect cognition, because in Shade's opinion, it was not some desert secret art at all, it was the real magic of the old gods.
In short, with this set in place, Grandma Siam Nod thinks that Miss Knight can probably be active outside for fifteen to twenty minutes. Therefore, before that, the group of people must reach the ruins of the knight's mausoleum, which can also be used as a temporary escape from the summer heat. Otherwise, this ordinary girl who went deep into the sea of sand will sleep here forever like the others.
Everything was ready, and the female knight also put on the full-body armor with the help of Miss Sandel, so the three of them said goodbye to the old elf and the mermaid girl who stayed behind, and officially entered the desert outside the temple.
Even with the blessing of the sun, Xia De still felt like he had to breathe harder the moment he came outside. After a few steps, my back, which had not been dry just now, was soaked with sweat again, and my breathing became heavier and heavier.
Miss Knight, who was wearing heavy armor, made a heavy sound on the sand every time she walked. Her helmet completely covered her face, so Shade couldn't see her expression clearly, but she at least walked smoothly.
As for Miss Meister, who is wearing cool clothes next to her, her light brown skin exudes a healthy glow in the sun. She still makes no sound when walking barefoot on the golden gravel, but she will soon be left behind. Small footprints covered by the wind.
"Meow~"
On the other hand, the cat on Shade's shoulder was quite excited, and the glowing traces of the not-so-long orange part of the cat's fur were even more obvious in the sunlight.
Xia De felt that he could not stand the sunshine, and was worried that the cat would faint from the heat and fall off his shoulders, but looking at its lively appearance, it was obvious that even if something happened to Sha De himself, Even a cat will be fine:
"Is the bloodline of the Son of the Sun so powerful?"
He muttered softly, but Miss Knight probably didn't hear it. Miss Meister heard it but just chuckled:
"With answers, you can never break through the fog and find the results."
"What did you say?"
"Did I speak?"
"Did she speak?"
"She" just chuckled in Shade's ear.
