The Whispering Verses Chapter 2900: The nest and the rabbit
Chapter 2899 The Nest and the Rabbit
"Some people from the Priory do go to the woodland. We have people in Willendale City, and they are also engaged in a black market business similar to mine. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them."
Seeing that Shade no longer mentioned the devil, Old John continued to lower his head and handle the pocket watch. Shade asked curiously:
"I just wanted to ask, this pocket watch is a relic, right? Can relics be dismantled?"
"To be precise, the real relic is just the gem embedded in the mechanical core of the pocket watch - the clerical relic [Heart of Flowing Light]. Space storage relics are rare, right? This is a time storage item , can be used to store time, or steal time.
Place the gems in the pocket watch, and then you can steal other people's time and store it in it, so that you can live longer. It is a pity that once this relic is used, it must not be taken off, otherwise no matter how much time it is used, it will lose so much time. There are many relics with similar effects, but this one has fewer side effects. ”
Click~ With a soft sound, the tweezers in Old John's right hand steadily picked off the white gem the size of two grains of rice. Shade pushed the small box on the side to him, and the gem was immersed in the rice milk in the box.
"You know, detective. In the past month, the number of out-of-control time relics discovered in various parts of the Old World has been more than ten times higher than in normal years. Only in the city of Tobesk, the time of the outbreak in the past two weeks has There are more such accidents than in half a century.
Do you know what stores are on both sides of my store? ”
He asked suddenly, of course Xia De knew:
"On the left are a grocery store and a second-hand bookstore, and on the right are a second-hand clothing store and a closed flower shop that has never been open since I met you."
"Yes, that flower shop closed down three years ago. The original owner was murdered while walking at night. The shop was later inherited by her nephew, but I don't know why it has not been dealt with. Just this Tuesday , the place suddenly opened and turned into a spice shop selling low-quality spices.
A few of our nearby neighbors came to visit and found a newspaper on the counter from more than fifty years ago, and the owner thought it was 1799. ”
Old John shook his head and sighed, but this matter should have been resolved. When Shade left the **** shop, he took a special look. There was still a closed flower shop with the door closed.
Centered in the Vesta Grove, the most unstable area of time in the material world, the consequences of the instability of time are gradually affecting the entire world. This is completely consistent with before. The first manifestation of the disaster is the frequent appearance of related relics, and then various abnormal phenomena symbolizing the disaster spread throughout the world and become more and more serious.
If the seal of Vista Woodland is not properly dealt with in the end, in addition to the entire forest area being completely lost in the chaotic time, maybe it is like what the long-haired Luvia once said, people from different eras. Monsters will come to the present time from that "time hole".
When I said goodbye to Old John and returned home, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who heard that Shad had returned to Tobesk, appeared again. But this time Lesia didn’t escape from a banquet or meeting, so she had more time this time:
"Shad!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess opened her arms to Shade, and then gave her a passionate kiss.
By the time Shade returned to the Accordion Hotel with his sword and cat, Miss Danister, who had gone out in the morning, had already returned. When Shade saw her, she was with Flora in the hotel room, watching the light and shadow of the "Dragon and Man" story once again shown on the wooden board.
"Flora, didn't you already watch it in the morning?"
Xia De asked curiously, but the latter still stared at the story projected in the room:
"But it's fun, isn't it?"
After confirmation by St. Byrons and the Church of Nature, the "Blade of the Sky" from the early sixth era came to the local area to deal with the black dragon in the summer of 226 of the Universal Calendar.
The dragon egg in the light and shadow first appeared in the winter at the end of 227. Although it was a year and a half apart, it was completely correct.
During dinner, the red-haired girl shared the information provided by the church with everyone. Although the incident that happened sixteen centuries ago involved a thirteen-ring warlock, the handling process was quite unremarkable.
The cause of the incident was that a black dragon was observed flying from overseas in the eastern part of the Old World. After tracking it, it was found that it finally landed in the Vista Woodland. Considering the size of the black dragon, the church at the time believed it was an adult dragon. Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents, the Paladin of the Thirteenth Ring was asked to deal with it.
It took him half a month to find the dragon in the forest who looked like he was preparing for a growth stage sleep. The battle between the two finally ended with the victory of the thirteen-ring warlock, but he did not kill the dragon, but contacted the church and sent it back to the east coast of the old continent, allowing it to fly back to the direction it came from. .
According to "Sky Blade" Mr. Astrea's own recollection, that mission can only be regarded as ordinary among all the missions he has performed. Although he has experienced the battle, the black dragon is obviously not strong enough.
After he defeated the dragon, he did check the nest that the black dragon had just built, but found no trace of other creatures in the nest.
"That is a male black dragon. Because it is an adult, it is indeed in the breeding period."
Miss Denister mentioned this:
"So it seems that the black dragon found a mate in the woodland, but did not intend to let it live in its lair. After the black dragon was expelled from the Old World by the church, the unknown creature gave birth to the egg, and abandoned it for unknown reasons.
Judging from the size of the dragon egg seen in the light and shadow, it can be inferred that its parent body is not an ordinary creature. The Vesta Woodland at the beginning of the Sixth Age was much more desolate than it is now. The alien creatures that were active in this forest back then were difficult for us to imagine today. ”
Although the black dragon was sent away in 226, the Paladin did not destroy the dragon's nest, but blocked it. Since there have been no rumors of a "huge nest of unknown life" in the local area in recent years, the dragon's nest should still exist.
While the church shared information, Miss Danister also revealed that today's dragon beasts are likely to be the descendants of the black dragons back then. The church has organized a team this afternoon to enter the forest in the evening to search for the dragon's nest, hoping to find clues from the dragon's nest that were not discovered back then.
"So now there are two valuable lairs in the forest, one is the dragon's lair in 226, and the other is the lair where the dragon beast and the devil traded in 1499. I don't know which one will be found first."
Agelina clasped her fingers and said:
"But the nest in 1499 may provide us with traces of the dragon beast, so what is the value of the dragon's nest in 226?"
Luvia answered her question:
"If you can know what its parent body is, you might be able to think of a way to target it. Even if it has been deformed, as long as the body is still its own, it will definitely still be affected by the bloodline."
After dinner, Shade went to talk to Carina who was lying in bed for a while, then left little Mia with Tifa and entered the forest alone again.
Dr. Schneider did not lose control tonight. When Shade knocked on the door and walked into his wooden house in the dense forest, the doctor was handling a roasted rabbit very carefully. The small brush in his hand was on the golden rabbit meat. Brush with sauce.
"Why are you still eating so late?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the doctor sitting on the small stool in front of the fireplace laughed:
"Sure enough, even you didn't notice it, detective. Take a closer look."
Shad sat on another wooden stool in front of the fireplace, stretched out his head to stare at the piece of rabbit meat that was strung together, and then said in surprise:
"Isn't this a rabbit?"
"Of course not, this is a sacrifice I made with the power of my soul. Tomorrow's ceremony requires a soul as a sacrifice, but I can't really get a soul to sacrifice, can I?"
As he spoke, he brushed the "rabbit meat" a few more times with a small brush, so the light brown stuff on the brush was definitely not sauce:
"What's the matter with coming to me so late? If it wasn't an emergency, you would have told me when you came tomorrow."
Shad looked away from the fireplace:
"Doctor, if I still want to find [the reward of greed] now, it's the 'Wish Demon-Zatanna'. Can you help me call it over?"
He briefly described what happened to the pitch-black dragon beast. After hearing the story, the doctor sighed:
“This business seems to be generous without any tricks, but it has made a lot of money in this business. Although it chose wisdom instead of soul, for that soul, that wisdom is the most valuable.
No problem, I can still find it. At that time, I thought that I might need its power and knowledge in the future, but I couldn't just snap my fingers and have it appear in front of us immediately. ”
The doctor asked Shade for a pen and paper, wrote half a page of text on it, and drew a not too complicated ritual matrix:
“Although it cannot be considered an evil spirit when it becomes a relic, we can still summon its projection to communicate by summoning the devil.
When the time comes, you can tell me that I am looking for it, and it will definitely not dare to play any tricks. Of course, the real demon summoning ritual is very evil and blasphemous, and I don’t think you will be able to use it, so I modified it for you to ensure that you will have no problems summoning its projection. ”
"Shall I do it myself?"
"Yes, you also know that I will hold a ceremony tomorrow night, so you can't be distracted before tomorrow night.
If the ritual is successful, I will go through a period of weakness to adjust my strength. You definitely won't be able to wait that long. Don't worry, it's not like you haven't dealt with it before, and the ritual I gave you is absolutely safe. ”
