The Whispering Verses Chapter 803: Echoes of Blood Thorns
Sister Devlin's Chosen Ceremony even caused a small earthquake that spread from the narrow room to the real world, but compared with other things tonight, this earthquake was not worth mentioning at all.
In the real Fort Midhill, Cassandra Auction House, Miss Rita Swift, the witch's apprentice, is organizing manpower to repair the walls broken by the battle just now, and block the broken walls where the white mist pours in. Hole.
Although she heard strange noises outside, noticed that the undead wandering on the street suddenly stopped moving, and even saw the strange golden luster in the sky, she didn't pay attention.
Twenty minutes after the Chosen Ceremony was completed, a figure appeared outside Cassandra's Auction House. With a rapid knock on the door, Miss Rita Swift, who was temporarily in charge of all affairs of the auction house, discovered that it was Shad outside the door.
"I just ran down the hill, Miss Swift, open the door!"
"Sorry, I need to confirm your identity first, please"
Before she could ask the question, Shade opened the door with the [Door Key] and rushed in.
He was sweating profusely and panting. The current situation at home is extremely bad. The white mist spreading on the third floor is almost spreading to the downstairs. The witch is urgently blocking the breath of death, and the out-of-control [Traveler's Travel Door], even if it is blocked by the "space stabilizing halo" Even though he was temporarily suppressed, he was still restless and unable to move to the statue of the ancient **** in the basement to suppress him.
But even so, after leaving Joy Barton and Marilyn Handel in Saint Teresa Square for interrogation by the curious witch, he immediately said goodbye to Luvia, who had already observed signs of the star whale, Once again, he rushed from the basement of his home to Fort Midhill, heading straight here as fast as he could.
Without the night watchman, he would not be able to deal with the evil spirits that spilled out of reality so quickly; there was no divinity in his body, and even though the afterglow state continued, the feeling of emptiness that drove him crazy still made Shade energetic. exhausted.
Fortunately, the power fluctuations of the Chosen Ritual made the restless undead dare not take any action, so he was able to come so quickly. After entering the door, no matter how bad his physical and mental state was, he asked with a trembling voice:
"Where are Grace and Helen?"
Miss Swift, who was closing the door, lowered her head slightly, and then Shade noticed that the entire auction hall on the first floor was almost in ruins.
This is the headquarters of Cassandra Auction House chain, which is famous throughout the Old World. The fine decoration is even more luxurious than some noble manors. But now there are claw marks and explosion marks everywhere, and even the floor and ceiling are no longer complete, with several large holes that can be jumped into the basement and second floor.
The smell of gunpowder smoke and dust has dissipated, but one can still imagine how fierce a battle broke out here not long ago.
Grandma Cassandra took the main followers into the narrow room, and now everyone left behind is trying their best to repair the building, at least to ensure that the white mist will no longer flow in.
"I'm still late, the vampire has left?"
"How do you know that about an hour ago, two high-level vampires and one middle-level vampire came here to take away the teachers who cannot leave yet. The battle was fierce, and in the end it was the teachers who Appeared, stopped the fight, and then left with the two high-level vampires."
"Grace and Helen left?"
Shade breathed heavily.
"However, the vampire in the middle ring was seriously injured, so they kept him. They said that after this incident was over, they would spend money to redeem him. Moreover, we seized a sage-level relic [blood Thorn Scepter]."
"Where is the vampire in Central?"
Xia De asked eagerly.
"In the basement."
As expected, the captured guy was an acquaintance of Shade, Mr. Armand Bernhardt, who came to Fort Midhill with his nephew. He was locked in the relic collection room in the basement.
This gentleman himself is a distant relative of the Kasenlik royal family, and he has thoroughly implemented the words elegance and elegance in his several appearances. But this time, he looked extremely embarrassed.
Lying on the bed against the wall, his face was as pale as white paper, and the clothes on his body were stained with blood. Miss Swift did not kill him, but she obviously only gave him the most basic treatment:
"This is such an ungrateful person. Apparently his mother-in-law introduced him and bought good things from another witch."
Miss Swift, who brought Shade to the basement, said dissatisfiedly, and Mr. Bernhardt, who heard the sound, also tried hard to get up from the bed:
"Look, it's Mr. Hamilton."
He wanted to smile, but he couldn't do it because he was too injured.
"Where?"
Xia De asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either. I am only responsible for bringing the blood prince here disguised as my nephew. I don't know the specific location."
Mr. Bernhardt answered diligently.
"When?"
"At midnight, the blood moon crosses the sky."
It is now eleven twenty-three, only half an hour left.
"Mr. Hamilton, actually you don't have to worry. Everything we do will not harm the city or anyone else. We will compensate for the losses caused to Cassandra Auction House. Why don't you sit down Come down and wait with me at midnight to witness the **** curtain."
"Shut up."
Miss Swift said in a gloomy voice that Granny Cassandra temporarily handed over the auction house to her, but she made such a big omission. Even if the opponent was too strong, it was still her dereliction of duty.
"The Blood Thorn Scepter is here. Can what you want to do really succeed?"
Xia De asked another middle-level sorceress standing at the door to bring the scepter that was temporarily contained in another room in the basement.
The Blood Thorn Scepter is a black wooden scepter with a ruby embedded in the top end. The entire scepter is entangled with a **** thorn. One end of the thorn seems to be growing out of the ruby, and the other end is wrapped around the end of the scepter.
The surface of the black wood is polished smooth, but if you look at it against the light, you can see the raised letters that are difficult to see——
[The thorns enter my body, and the **** light accompanies me. 】
You must hold it very carefully to ensure that your hands are not hurt by thorns. This is a genuine sage-level relic, and it is also a weapon-type relic.
"It doesn't matter, we collected nine relics, but only seven of them are enough."
Armand Bernhard said that he had no intention of hiding it, but Shade only knew five of them.
"Mr. Hamilton, you saved me in the Sin Mansion. I want to advise you. Don't chase me. It's okay if you can't catch me. If you catch me, you really won't be able to come back."
The seriously injured vampire looked at Shade, the whites of his eyes were very bloodshot.
Although this man brought the little boy to Middleburg, Shade had no ill feelings towards Mr. Bernhardt. Armand Bernhard was just following orders, and at this time he was willing to provide all the information he knew:
"They are very important to me, I must get them back."
"Wait!" Gu Bai
The weak Mr. Bernhardt said doubtfully:
"What we are discussing is the angel-level relic [Red Butterfly Twins]."
"Yes, they are important to me."
Shad nodded, and then saw an expression of awe on the face of this middle-aged vampire.
With Miss Swift's consent, Shade gave Mr. Bernhardt a small glass of water treated with [Full Food]. After he drank slowly, he sat next to a narrow bed against the wall that looked like a prison and asked:
"I have to catch up, does Mi Xian have any clues?"
"I'm just in Central. It's convenient for me to bring the prince here because of my noble status. But it must be on the mountain. I don't know the specific location. Sorry, I can't help you. Stop chasing me. This is really For your own good."
He still took the trouble to persuade.
Shad was silent for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the scepter held carefully by Miss Swift:
"The function of this scepter is to enhance the extraordinary power related to blood. How strong is this enhancement?"
"Very strong. If it is a power related to my Lord, then it will be even stronger."
Mr. Bernhardt said, seeing that Shade took the initiative to take the relic, he also introduced how to use it:
"Recite the incantation 'Blood thorns penetrate my body, and the road of blood opens now', and the blood thorns will pierce the back of your hand. You cannot use common language, but use Columba secret language. I don't like to use this kind of power. As for rod weapons, I prefer the two alchemy pistols I made myself."
The so-called "Columba Secret Language" is the aristocratic language used in the territory ruled by vampires in the Fourth Age, the so-called Dark Age. The vampire race is not as powerful as the elves, and there is no language named after the race. Therefore, the "Columba" secret language during the prosperity of the vampire race in the ancient times has become the secret language of the upper class of the Sixth Age race. It is a quite ancient language.
This is not even studied in the required courses at St. Byrons, it is optional. Although Shade is proficient in writing, he must see the writing before he can read it. It is impossible to know the pronunciation of the corresponding cipher text just by knowing the translation of the common text.
He hesitated:
"Columba secret language, is it closely related to your race?"
Shad asked again. Mr. Bernhard thought about it, but unexpectedly the witch’s apprentice spoke:
“This is a very important language for vampires. At least a quarter of the ancient documents and thaumaturgy and spell scrolls of contemporary vampires are written in this language. This is almost equivalent to a racial language. ”
"That's right."
Mr. Bernhardt nodded slightly and drank the water. Although he was still seriously injured, his face looked better.
"I understand."
Shad reached into his pocket and took out the two green leaves he obtained after completing the key to Fifth Epoch 3024.
These two leaves of youth, one represents [Knowledge-Original Sin Thaumaturgy], and the other represents [A Piece of True Information-Vampire]. Because there were no labels on the leaves, Shade could only put the one on the left in front of him first.
As the golden lines displayed by the leaf veins gradually penetrated into his eyes, Xia De frowned slightly. This piece is the magic of original sin, which includes the method of adding the [Laziness] spirit rune to the [Chain of Sin], but it is of no use to him now.
"This is it."
The second green leaf was also placed in front of his right eye. As a huge amount of knowledge and information poured into his mind, Shade found the information he wanted:
"Sure enough."
He took the scepter from Miss Swift, and under the watchful eyes of Mr. Armand Bernhardt and the witch's apprentice, he softly spoke with his lungs and chanted with the aid of nasal humming:
"Blood thorns penetrate my body, and the road of blood opens now."
The knowledge of the elven race allowed Shade to have a rough grasp of the elven language, and the knowledge of vampires indeed also included the content of "Columba secret language".
As Shade finished speaking, the **** thorns on the scepter squirmed, climbed up to Shade's wrist and wrapped tightly around it. They did not penetrate the skin, but Shade clearly felt the pain all over his body.
"That'll be no problem"
"Mr. Hamilton, do you really want to go up the mountain?"
Mr. Bernhardt also wants to persuade Shade to stay:
"I can't tell you what will happen on the mountain, but don't go there. I can guarantee with my soul that what happens next will never harm Fort Midhill!"
But Shade shook his head and left here with Miss Swift.
The two entered the deepest part of the basement, the room where Helen and Grace once lived. The twins have left, the curtains next to the huge four-poster bed have been lifted, and the clothes on the ground have disappeared, but the concentration of whispering elements is still extraordinary.
"Mr. Hamilton, how are you going to find them?"
Miss Swift asked softly.
"I have a magical skill. I can drop anyone's blood into my eyes and see all the movements of the owner of the blood in a day."
"But do you have the blood of teachers who don't have teachers here?"
"No, me neither."
Xia De shook his head, holding the scepter and looking at the huge bed:
"But I once dripped their blood into my eyes, that was in the last era."
He paused:
"To be more precise, it was two months ago (Chapter 568)."
The Blood Thorn Scepter enhanced [Echo of Blood], and Shade, who was supposed to only be able to see traces of blood within a day, spanned a longer period of time and touched the power of blood. A clear red halo, representing two people, appeared on the bed.
The overlapping silhouettes of red halos show that Grace and Helen have stayed here for a long time. And when they left the bed, the tall, god-like figure had returned to the size of a normal human woman:
"Miss Swift, then I'm going."
He stared at the two red halos, knowing exactly what the vampire **** wanted to do. Those ten wine-making stories simply reminded him of his true purpose.
In order for Lesia and Dorothy to be helped, and for the two innocent souls not to be sacrificed, he was able to help them at the God's Wine Party in the last era. This time, he can still help them.
