The Whispering Verses Chapter 2906: Ancient Hunters and the Mark of Sin
Chapter 2905 Ancient Hunters and the Mark of Sin
Although the atmosphere and environment were unusually depressing, after the doctor was completely wrapped in a black cocoon, except for the black light emitted by the entire ceremony and the tiny whispers around him, there was no longer anything unusual here. At first, Shade was quite vigilant, waiting for something unexpected to happen, but after half an hour, nothing changed here, and his thoughts became slightly distracted.
Looking at the long sword in his hand, he asked in his heart:
"What exactly is the so-called [Demon King]?"
[Judging from the information I have come across so far, it is not a god. 】
"She" answered softly, and Shade also agreed with this answer:
"But if it is not a god, then isn't this existence similar to the mermaid currently in Moon Bay?"
He has actually been thinking about this issue a long time ago:
“The mermaid is currently showing extremely powerful power, but before I met it, wasn’t it directly sealed in Coldwater Port for hundreds of years by a drop of divinity? In other words, even if there is an existence under God No matter how strong I am, as long as I still have divinity, the so-called [Devil King] or [Desire] is actually not an invincible and terrifying enemy."
"She" smiled gently:
【So, do you know how to seal something with divinity? 】
"Well, when the divine burning state is in progress, wouldn't it be enough to use the Mystical Lock-Tree Kiss?"
Shad's eyes continued to stare at the motionless cocoon.
[Then the next question is, why during the Battle of Moon Bay, according to the witches, while you were "dead", the mermaid could face the attack of the evil dragon **** and showed no signs of injury afterwards. Woolen cloth? 】
"this"
Xia De really can't answer this question, but it is true that "desire" was sealed. In other words, the power of divinity can only work against such strange and powerful existences through appropriate methods, but Xia De doesn't know exactly how to do this.
Of course, whether "Desire" and "Demon King" can be compared together is just Shade's guess. Maybe the power gap between the two is as big as Shade and little Mia, but this does not prevent Shade from treating them as the same kind at this time.
Shasha~
In the silence, the sudden sound became particularly obvious. Shade immediately looked around, but the sound did not come from the ceremony in the clearing, but from outside the clearing.
As the footsteps and the sound of brushing away the grass got closer and closer, a man carrying two long swords, dressed in a hunting suit, and with an obvious scar on his face walked out of the woods. But this is not a living person. His body appears transparent and emits blue light. Even though they were nearly thirty meters apart, Shade could feel the strong whispering element in the other party.
After the man appeared, he did not enter the scope of the ceremony, but frowned at the scene in front of him. Then his eyes shifted to Sha De, and he stepped towards him:
"Young man, is this the demon who is undergoing the trial?" (Common language of Delarion)
He asked Shade this way, and Shade saw the equally transparent [Demon Hunter Seal] on his hand and the bright witcher marks on his buttons, and he immediately understood:
"Are you the ancient demon hunter summoned in "The Witcher's Notes"?"
"Not a summons."
The man corrected:
"The me you see is just the echo from the past preserved in that notebook. Whenever someone wants to accept the inheritance, those echoes will be touched. Maybe this face really existed, but I Not him, I am the sum of all the echoes left in the book. Is this the [Night Watcher] you are holding in your hand?"
"Do you know this too?"
Xia De waved his sword and found that the hunter was not afraid. The other party is probably not the kind of spirit that lives in a book in the story. The fact that the book can be carried back and forth through the "space maze" by Shade has proven this.
The expressionless hunter nodded, looking more interested in Shade than the doctor:
"There is no demon hunter who does not know this sword. In order to fight against those evil spirits, we have forged a total of three most powerful weapons——
[Night Watch], we are hunters who guard the night of the world, we need sharp swords;
[Witcher Encyclopedia], evil spirits are immortal, so we need ways to contain and seal them. This book can seal those evil spirits that have completely exhausted their power and are close to rebirth. This is the most effective way to contain them. A secure prison;
[Lightless Road], this is a compass used to track evil spirits. As long as the identity and power characteristics of the evil spirits are known, the compass can accurately point the direction for hunters. ”
He did not look at Shade when he spoke, but continued to look at the sword he was holding:
“The birth of these three weapons allowed intelligent beings to barely maintain their race in the terrible Third Age. And after that era ended, we used the chaos of history and time when the era changed to bury them. I hope they can die together with the evil spirits. The existence of these weapons has been linked to too many terrible things."
After speaking, he raised his head and asked Xia De:
"Since you are recognized by it, why don't you destroy this demon?"
The strange hunter pointed to the big cocoon in the center of the ceremony, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"You should be able to feel it, right? The one who started the trial of "The Witcher's Notes" is the demon you mentioned."
"I can feel it, but obviously you are more suitable than him. So, he wants to have the power of both a demon and a hunter?"
"He wanted the power of the hunter to help him balance the power of the demon he was forced to possess."
Xia De corrected:
"There are many stories in this. Even if I tell some stories, it feels like I am helping him to an ending that is doomed to destruction. But he is my friend, and I will take the responsibility to ensure that the worst outcome does not happen. responsibility, so I will not destroy him."
The hunter has an expressionless face:
"I can feel that he has hunted many demons. He is indeed different from the devil. But I also feel the most dangerous power. He is a container, right?"
Xia De can only guess what he means:
"If you're talking about the original demon, yes."
"Don't mention its existence lightly."
The hunter warned Shade again, but he did not object to imparting power:
"The hunter's power can indeed suppress the power he contains. If it is because of this, I will help him complete the ritual. But young hunter, do you understand that you have already accepted it when you hold this sword? Destiny?"
"I wasn't the one who opened that book. I don't want to be a hunter yet, sorry."
Xia De continued to shirk. The girls around him were against him doing this, so he would never accept this "second career."
I thought the expressionless hunter would continue to persuade, but I didn’t expect him to give up immediately:
"But [Night Watch] is in your hands, and you will eventually understand."
He turned around and was about to step into the ceremony in front of him. The blue light on his body was swaying like a flame blown by the wind.
Xia De suddenly asked again at this time:
"I would like to ask a question. Was that existence that cannot be mentioned ever sealed by a man without a wish when it was first born?"
The hunter turned around and shook his head:
"No one knows how that existence was born, and all the stories that have been circulated so far are just stories. Young hunters, don't explore too much about the origin of that existence. If it has never been revived in your time, then Just think it doesn’t exist.”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave, but Shade embarrassedly stopped him:
"I'm really sorry. Actually, there's one more thing. It's hard to meet someone like you who knows everything. Do you know the mermaid named 'Desire'? Which one of them is stronger?"
Although the hunter still stopped and turned around this time, he did not immediately answer. Just when Shade thought that it was too much to make things difficult for a past echo, he finally said:
"To humans, they are actually the same."
"But they are not the same existence after all, right? Although they are both terrifying and powerful, there should still be some differences."
The hunter's eyes looked at the sword held by Shade again, which made Shade think that if the [Night Watch] was not here, the hunter would never answer this question:
“There were mortals who asked the gods for the same question in the third era. The gods said——
[They were born because of the world, but the mark of sin was broken. Although they were close to the highest, they never became the highest. 】(Unknown ancient language of the Third Age)"
"Huh?"
Shade blinked, but the hunter would not give Shade a chance to ask questions this time. He turned around and turned into a blue light, and immediately got into the **** cocoon. The big cocoon suddenly expanded and contracted like a heart pumping blood, but soon returned to calm.
It was actually the right thing for him to leave so quickly, because Shade did want to ask about the book and compass. If those two things can be found, maybe the doctor can hunt and hunt down demons more efficiently in the future.
"Close to the Supreme. [Sin Brand], did I hear this term last year?"
He asked in his heart, and "she" still gave the answer gently:
[At the end of last summer, when I saw "Desire" for the first time under the Aurora Manor, she said, "If you can be born in the first era, you are qualified to compete for the brand of sin." 】(413)
"Did the answer from the **** in the Third Age mean that if the mark of sin is not broken, then desire and demons are still possible."
But no one could answer his question this time. It has been too long since the end of the ancient era when civilization flourished. Even if the audience off the stage can occasionally see some fragments of sentences from the corners of the performance, they still cannot piece together all the truth of history.
"After I killed the ancient [Mimic Monster] in the secret room of the Golden Music Hall, I got a [Greed Brand]. I don’t know if there is any connection. I hope everything goes well next."
He sighed slightly, watching the blue lines on the **** cocoon slowly outline the symbol of the witcher, and continued to wait with his sword.
