Chapter 2669 The Temple in the Forest
"That's it. If Iluna and I can come back before evening, I will go to the banquet."
Shad nodded, then looked at Iluna, and the eighteen-year-old girl also nodded:
"I'm participating too. I took a whole day off today and have time both day and night."
The acorns soaked in Shade's blood have already been brought with him. As for the secret place in the forest marked by Luvia, it is located in the southwest of the city, which is close to Willendale City.
"What is the relationship between Shade and this Miss Bayas?"
After the two were sent downstairs by Miss Bell, the witch asked another question as usual, and the red-haired girl who was about to look through the local information again was stunned for a moment before asking:
"Are you asking me?"
So the witch was even more surprised:
"There are only two of us here. I'm not asking who you are asking about? Look at that young girl. She doesn't look like she's going to go on an adventure deep into the woods with Shade. Instead, she looks like she's going on an outing outside the city."
"Why do you think I know the answer to this question? Don't be surprised. One thing I need to clarify is that although I am Shade's nominal teacher, I do not know all his secrets."
Miss Denister is quite candid:
"Although I know a little more than you do, obviously that's only part of it. As for Miss Bayas, all I can tell you is that her relationship with Shade is very good, very, very good."
The witch turned into an owl and stood on the back of the sofa:
"Don't tell me that Carina can't even control her own man, and that Miss Bayas is his lover."
Thinking about what she learned, the red-haired girl showed a strange smile:
"Lover? It's probably not Miss Bayas's turn yet."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, why don't you ask yourself? Compared to Shade, Miss Bayas is more naive. If you show enough kindness, she shouldn't mind complaining to you about Tobesk Mr. Knight."
Eluna was still very interested in this strange southern city, but the two of them had to do business first, so Shade did not take her to visit landmarks such as the Golden Music Hall.
The carriage took them to the southern edge of the city, and then Shade took Iluna's hand and opened the thaumaturgic "forest path" and advanced with her deep into the forest.
It could be seen that Iluna was in a good mood, and Shade talked about recent events while walking forward. Iluna also shared recent interesting things with Shade. She was a little regretful that the church had not yet received the answer to the question that Shade had asked the gods. In fact, the oracle had not yet come down. Then she talked about Vesta. city.
"The Holy See has written to me explaining the situation here. But this time the Holy See said that it does not plan to let me come here immediately."
She held Shade's hand and stepped on the yellow leaves under her feet, watching the big-tailed squirrels on the trees nearby busily carrying pine cones picked up from the ground.
Somehow I thought that if little Mia were here at this time, she would definitely bark at the squirrel, scare it so much that it dropped the pine cone and ran away immediately, so a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously:
"The Holy See said that once I am involved in a big time-related trouble, it will be difficult for me to protect myself even if I am the chosen one. So the church's plan is to dig out the Natural Church first to see what they know. something, and then make a support plan.
Currently, the local support team only consists of the Thirteenth Ring 'Constructor Master' of the Creation Church you mentioned and the reorganized high-level warlocks, so although you won't get much help from the Church this time, But at least I won’t bump into people from the church too often. ”
Xia De turned to look at her:
"Miss Daniste also said that the academy will not send anyone here at the moment, and the Witch Council also has no plans for other witches to come to support in the near future. But speaking of it, it seems that we haven't been out for a walk together like this for a long time. Right? ”
"Yes."
Eluna obviously has deep resentment, and she does not hide it:
"Originally, the three of us agreed to go on together. But after your relationship with Luvia made great progress, I often felt like an outsider."
As he spoke, he gently shook the hands held by Sha De:
"And everyone is usually very busy, and I can't bear to disturb you all the time. And with my current status, if I go to see Luvia too often, it may be very suspicious, but you can still think of me, Shade, I don’t ask for much at all.”
When she said these words, she did not look at Shade at all, but pretended to be very interested in the scenery in front of her. And the foreigner was no longer the ignorant guy last summer. He squeezed Iluna's hand gently:
"Luvia and I have never forgotten our original agreement. We have been through this journey, and every incident can be without Carina and other witches, but we can never be without you two."
He also looked ahead:
????????????.??????
"Anyway, we have already gone out today, and no one knows what we did. If things go well for a while, let's take a walk in the woods and go back in the evening? There are many interesting things in the autumn woodland. Want to try a picnic by the stream, or go chasing deer in the forest, or go see the brown bears preparing for the winter? ”
"There are still brown bears in Vista Grove? Oh, I mean, this is bad, it's a waste of time"
"Then I will assume that you have agreed to my invitation."
Eluna bit her lip, trying not to smile too obviously.
Although there was no convenient "Owl Air", they still reached their destination at eleven o'clock in the morning by relying on thaumaturgy. This place is the same as the hermit's residence in the north of the city. It is located far deep into the forest. Even hunters would not come here on weekdays.
Shad took the map marked by Luvia and kept using "powerful spatial perception" to determine the location. Finally, he and Iluna stopped by an unnamed mountain stream:
"Follow Luvia's markings and cross this creek. The south bank is where we are looking for."
He raised his head and looked at the woods on the south bank of the stream with Iluna:
"But have we already walked across the opposite side twice? With our two senses, coupled with my thaumaturgy, it is impossible not to notice the abnormality nearby."
"Then that place is hidden! This needs to be solved!"
Iluna seemed very interested:
"Shad, are there any markings on the nearby maps on the maps the hermits sold you?"
"No, I checked before setting off. The hermits' main activity area is north of Ximu Town, and they rarely come to such a southern location."
The two crossed the stream again and came to the south bank. Iluna suggested using thaumaturgy to solve the puzzle, but Shade's "Truth Crystal" still had no effect.
Then the two used spells again, but still found nothing, Iluna suggested:
"Shad, you use the 'Truth Crystal' again, this time to cast the spell to the extreme."
Steam mist appeared from behind the two of them at the same time. The nine-ring and eight-ring life rings appeared together, and Iluna's life ring was quickly transformed into the dark golden scale. On Shade's life ring, Whisper-Prejudice emitted a dazzling black aura, and then a white transparent crystal appeared in his palm.
"Don't move, but if you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately. I just want to give it a try."
Eluna reminded, and then gradually raised her dark golden scale until the scale flew away from her hands and flew to Shade's back.
As soon as the rippling dark gold color of the scale came into contact with the spiritual light on Shade's life ring, the powers from different souls did not conflict with each other. Instead, they seemed to attract each other, causing Iluna's scale to finally stop at The center of Shade's life circle.
The huge brass ring rotates around the sacred balance. The [Time and Space] and [Silver Moon] spiritual runes surround the ancient balance. Dark golden light gradually infects Shade's life ring. Shade It is obvious that his spell-casting ability has been wonderfully enhanced.
Iluna looked up at this scene and was quite satisfied:
"I had this idea after we merged with each other in Green Lake last time. Your soul is far more powerful than mine. Since it can perfectly accommodate my power in the mysterious state, theoretically speaking, in the normal state It should be okay. How do you feel now?"
"It feels weird, but this should be enough - the truth crystal!"
As he cast the spell again, the white transparent crystal was actually dyed with Iluna's dark gold color. The spirits of the two people passed away at the same time, and Shade even felt that Iluna, who was standing beside him, was pressing against him from another dimension. This feeling was indeed strange.
When the dark golden light emitted by the crystal formed ripples and spread around, the originally narrow distance between the two big trees at eight o'clock suddenly expanded to the size of an open space, and in the open space was a The ruins of the temple are in fragments.
The integrity of this ruins is at least better than that of the "Space Maze", not only because one of the four walls of the temple is still intact, but also because there is actually a building in the center of the temple. altar.
The most complete remaining wall is the wall at the temple entrance. There are steps covered with grass in front of the wall, which makes this dilapidated ancient stone wall look like an arch at this time.
The altar behind the arch is made of huge stones. Its surface has been mottled by time and covered with a thin layer of moss. Tiny wildflowers and vines grow in the gaps between the stones that make up the steps, walls and altar.
I don’t know how much time has passed since the last time someone left this temple. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, frost, rain and snow, this place has been cleverly integrated with this woodland. The clever connection between desolation and holiness makes the picture displayed at this time like a static landscape painting.
