The Whispering Verses Chapter 2628: First Fire and Purifying Curse
Chapter 2627 First Fire and Purification Curse
"No."
Sister Devlin answered almost immediately. Shade looked at her, but the nun's face had no expression as usual;
"Shad went out to look for his missing friend. During that time, he fought with the enemy and was seriously injured. I happened to be there at the time and met his cat, who led me to find him."
This part of the narrative is indeed true, but she is describing what happened during the Battle of Sikal Mountain, and the two knew each other before that.
"He was seriously injured and had no choice but to ask me for help, so I gave him the power of the First Fire. This happened last year."
Shad recalled that after the Battle of Mount Sikal last fall, Sister Devlin took away his pocket watch with the Evergreen Leaf between it on the top of the mountain, and then knelt on one knee by the bonfire, holding the slender flame in both hands. , the scene where he almost begged and said in a trembling voice, "I beg you, I beg you, touch this flame" (Chapter 807).
"This is how it is, I have no choice but to ask Sister Devlin for help."
He nodded and glanced at the nun again, only to find that she had no reaction at all.
Although Miss Winslet thinks there is still something fishy about it, she is too embarrassed to carefully explore other people's privacy:
"So that's it, oh, how could you do such a dangerous thing? What will you do if Sister Devlin doesn't find you? But I know your cat is very smart, you asked me to take care of it last time That’s when I discovered it.”
Although Sister Devlin's sudden visit surprised everyone, since it was Miss Isabella who asked her to try to lift the curse, everyone was happy to have another chance to lift the curse.
This time the nuns only brought two blind nuns from the High Ring. However, they did not come directly from the mountain top sacrificial site, but first went to Willendale City through the mountain top oil painting, and then from Willendale Dale came here by boat.
Of course there is a branch of the "Snake Heart Hospital" in a big city like Willendale, the capital of the United Kingdom of Carsonlik.
Everyone had lunch together first, during which they were extremely curious about the story of Shade and the nun, and found that this was also a good opportunity to get to know Shade. Miss Winslet wanted to ask more about their story, but the silent nun was unable to eat. The appearance made everyone even embarrassed to talk while eating at the table.
Her temperament is indeed unique.
After lunch, he officially began to try to understand the curse. Shade originally wanted to suggest going to the forest to break the curse to prevent accidents from causing the same trouble as Miss Adele Isabella last time, but Dave Sister Lin shook her head slightly:
"No need."
She speaks concisely and to the point:
"If you are with me, there will be no problems in the first fire."
Because there are two cursed people at the scene, you have to choose one first when trying to break the curse. The red-haired girl and Miss Owl gave in to each other, and finally Miss Daniste chose to be the first to accept the "experiment."
The place where the curse was broken was in her room 317, with Miss Winslet and Miss Bell watching.
Miss Danister sat on the sofa and the nun said softly:
"I need to observe the state of your soul first."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards his blindfold, but after a pause, he "looked" at Sha De. So under the slightly puzzled gazes of the other ladies, Sha De turned around in a wise manner.
[I think there is no need to describe her movements to you. 】
The mithril eyepatch was taken off by Sister Devlin, and her delicate face was slightly lowered, causing the other three ladies to look sideways. Then the nun opened her closed eyes. The moment her pure white eyes looked at the red-haired girl, she felt that her soul was being completely penetrated.
This gaze only lasted five seconds:
"I understand."
The nun said, Shade turned around after the sound of her putting on the blindfold stopped:
"How's the situation?"
"This is a curse rooted in the soul related to the power of the ancient gods. Today's First Fire may not be able to fight it, but it is worth a try."
"What needs to be done? Do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
Miss Winslet asked curiously.
"No preparation required, Shade, it's up to you."
"What to do?"
"To burn and purify her soul."
It’s easy to say and easy to do. The temperature and violence of the first fire are definitely not something ordinary mortal souls can withstand, so both "fire-bearing nuns" and "fire-bearing heroes" require very special talents.
If Sister Devlin triggers the flames herself, Miss Daniste’s soul is in danger of being burned by the flames. But if Shade is used as a "transit station", then the intensity of the flames can be reduced to a barely acceptable level.
The specific method is to remove the furniture in the living room of the suite, and then the three of them stand together in a triangle. Sister Devlin held Shade's left hand, and Shade's right hand held Miss Danister's left hand.
After getting ready, as the nun lowered her head slightly, the palms connected to her and Shade immediately ignited a slender orange flame.
??????55.??????
The curtains were closed at this time, so the room seemed a little dark. After the flame appeared, other areas in the room seemed darker, and only Shade's hand connected with the nun became brighter.
Miss Bell, standing next to her teacher, had the color of the flame reflected in her eyes, and there was actually a touch of blood on her usually pale cheeks:
"Teacher, that flame is so warm."
She said softly, as if she was talking in her sleep.
But Flora Winslet had no idea of touching the flame. She had felt the heat that appeared on Shade's body, especially the heat he showed in death. This initial fire is still needed
The flames burned silently, and the burn scars on the right hands held tightly by the nun and Shade lit up slightly. A bright crack appeared on the left hand that Shade was holding, but the crack did not spread to his whole body. It only passed through his chest and reached his right arm.
As the bright red crack appeared on his right hand, the flame also ignited silently in the palm connected to Miss Daniste. The red-haired girl let out a moan, and then her whole body started to tremble.
She was not set on fire, but the cyan blood vessels on the back of her fair hands all turned bright red, and this glowing color extended deep into her sleeves.
It was as if infinite heat ignited her at that moment. Even the "Red Moon Witch" who had experienced countless battles and injuries could almost lose control of her body at this moment.
That is not exactly the so-called pain. The expansion of the soul and body brings a feeling that cannot be described in words. The heat quickly caused her to fall into a semi-conscious state, and when she regained consciousness, she found that she was being held by Shade, and her whole body was soaked.
Everyone looked at her with some worry, but after regaining consciousness, Daniste Gustave realized the changes in herself in just a few seconds.
It was as if she had taken a comfortable hot bath after being tired. At this moment, not only the fatigue of her body, but also her soul had been completely eliminated. She even felt that her soul had become purer under the washing of the flames.
"I'm fine."
With a slightly hoarse voice, she pushed Shade away. She felt her legs and feet were weak and had to hug Shade again:
"Sorry, some of my lost strength seems to have returned. I now have eleven rings."
"The curse has not been removed."
Sister Devlin stood beside the two of them and watched as Shade helped the red-haired girl sit down:
"The First Fire only suppressed the curse and allowed your power to return briefly. But this situation will last until midnight tonight at most and then it will return to its original state, and if this method is used next time, the effect will be worse. ”
Shad's fingers lit up the silver moonlight, and the thaumaturgy [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] healed the red-haired girl's spirit. But he didn't know that this was completely unnecessary. She was very full of energy at this time, even too full, but her body was still recovering from the feeling of being "purified" by the first fire.
"Is there nothing the First Fire can do about this curse?"
"The current initial fire is not enough."
Sister Devlin corrected:
"The first fire in its complete state is enough to burn out such a curse, but it is impossible to find the remaining flames in a short time. If you can have the help of the Time Chosen One, you can find another split flame, which will be enough. Solve this curse."
Xia De was delighted. This was the only method they knew so far that could eradicate the "time curse". Before, whether it was the umbilical cord, the paradox bug potion or anything else, it was all about delaying rather than eradicating it.
At this moment, he even thought about whether Luvia's time curse could also be eradicated using this method.
"That's great, the Chosen One and finding another flame? I know."
After speaking, he asked the witch on the side:
"Miss Winslet, do you also want to try to use the First Fire to temporarily suppress the curse? Although it is not eradicated, since Sister Devlin came here specially, why not give it a try."
Of course Miss Artist will not disagree, and Sister Devlin will not object either.
So the three of them followed the steps just now and did it again, with Shade still serving as the "transit station" to deliver the flame of the purifying curse.
Even though Miss Winslet had been fully prepared because of Miss Daniste’s performance just now, when the flames silently ignited from the hands held tightly by her and Shade, the infinite light and heat at that moment still made her The cold, empty soul long affected by death is lost.
"But, the temperature is not as hot as last time."
In the blurred vision and delusion of being burned in a fire, she suddenly realized that the temperature that she had felt from Shade that "scalded" her soul was definitely not just as simple as the initial fire.
His soul has greater and pure light and heat, that is what she is pursuing
At this moment, her consciousness seemed to have fallen into the boundary between reality and illusion. While trembling, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the strange man, and was surprised to find that he was looking back at her face with a little worry. There is clearly a bright silver moon in his right eye.
