The Whispering Verses Chapter 998: Sacrifice of the witches
Actually, Miss Teresa didn't know what the "Invisible Son" was. When the group was resting, the ground suddenly shook, as if something came out of the ground. Later, they were attacked by invisible enemies. Because there were too many enemies surrounding the camp at that time, Miss Violet led them to temporarily withdraw.
But Miss Violet is a thirteenth-level witch after all. After temporarily escaping from the enemy's siege, she quickly noticed the "lair" of these monsters, so she took her personal maid to deal with those "lairs". The source of the "Invisible Son", where Miss Teresa and five other maids fend off the pursuing enemies and avoid direct contact with the truth about the attack.
"Over there."
Although the total contact time with Shad was only one hour, the witch wearing glasses could still see what Shad was thinking at this moment:
"They went in that direction. I can't give a specific time of departure, but it didn't take long. Mr. Hamilton, if you really want to go there, be careful."
Xia De looked into the depths of the fog:
"Be careful, stay here and don't move around."
The six of them bid farewell to Miss Theresa and continued to move forward following the increasingly illegible footprints on the ground. Miss Violet and the head maid were actually not far away from Miss Theresa and the others. Shade only walked about twenty steps before he saw them, but in fact, before he saw the two of them clearly, their figures did not appear in the thick fog.
This island is stranger than Shade thought.
When Shade came to them, Miss Violet and the twelfth-level maid were not fighting, but looking around like the six witches just now. This is an open space on the island without thorn bushes. The [Night Watcher] is being held by Miss Violet. The tall maid with long brown hair is holding a wooden hand crossbow. It is not a relic but an alchemy item.
"Long time no see, Shade."
Miss Violet greeted her softly. She seemed to be in better spirits than last time, but her tired look could still be seen.
"Are Teresa and the others okay now?"
She recognized the direction from which Shade came.
"It's okay, I helped them eliminate those invisible enemies. What are you looking for?"
"The lair."
The tall maid answered for Miss Violet, her voice was clear:
"Your Majesty believes that the nest of the 'Invisible Son' is the cause of the attack. If the nest is not eliminated as soon as possible, more enemies will appear on the island. The nest should be nearby where we can visually see it, but for the time being it is still Not found. ”
"The treasure hunt compass helped me, but the lair is more difficult to detect than the monsters."
Miss Violet said, and then saw Shade looking above their heads. She blinked, grabbed her maid and hid aside:
"Over our heads?"
"The only 'big guy' nearby is this one. I can feel that it is something like a honeycomb. But it is difficult for me to describe what structure and shape it is. It is very weird."
The witches retreated to Shade, and Miss Violet patted Shade on the shoulder:
"Then don't feel it. Since you pointed out the location, I can vaguely sense that there is something there."
She put [Night Watch] into Shade's hand and took the hand crossbow from her maid:
"Come together."
"No problem."
The familiar long sword entered his hand, and Shade swung it a few times. The silver moonlight soaked the sword body, and the "Moonlight Great Sword" enveloped the [Night Watcher].
"Miss Violet, please pay attention, one, two, three!"
The crossbow arrow flew into the air together with the silver arc of light, encountered an invisible object under the gaze of the three people, and then disappeared together. There was no explosion, not even any sound, but Shade could feel the "nest" disappearing.
"What on earth is this? Is it a monster unique to Lost Lake?"
After making sure that the trouble had been solved, Shade asked. Miss Violet shook her head and motioned to Shade and the maid to follow her to join the others:
"The Invisible Son, a very rare and strange creature. This is a subspecies of some kind of Third Age demon, the offspring of demons and evil things. They usually exist in the form of lairs in ancient ruins, tombs and inaccessible places. In the dense forest, only by sensing can we effectively attack them. Don't think we won easily just now, that's because the Lost Lake is also suppressing their power."
Shad cannot imagine what it would be like to have a hybrid between a demon and an evil creature:
"Then what should we do if we really encounter a fully formed [Invisible Son] lair?"
"Escape, the Invisible Sons will only move around the nest and will not leave too far. The area of this island is almost the limit of their range of action."
Violet gave a categorical answer, which reminded Shade that one of the methods for dealing with the "narrow room" left by the Witch Emperor at the seal on the mountainside of Mount Sikal was to "run".
"What if I have to face it?"
Shad asked again, and Miss Violet thought for a while:
"What a strange question. Any demon's power can effectively attack the invisible son without observing them. Oh, if you really encounter this thing in the future, don't go looking for the demon. Sign a contract to gain power. In fact, there are many well-known relics that contain demonic power. I have one [Fire-breathing Demon Head], but I didn’t bring it out in this adventure. It was too ugly.”
At this time, a full twelve minutes have passed since Shade arrived at Lost Lake, which means that less than half of the half hour has passed. Fortunately, the location of the Invisible Son's lair is very close to the Obsidian Tower in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. After gathering Miss Theresa and the other five maids, Miss Violet took a look at the young maid's recovered injuries, and then the group The eight people set off directly to the tower instead of returning to the camp.
"How long do you have left?"
After entering the fog-free safe area under the tower, Miss Violet asked Shade. She knew that Shade had a fixed stay time:
"More than ten minutes, we have to hurry up. However, I have found the sacrifice."
Shad patted the water bag tied to his chest. Although the [Father of the Infinite Tree] did not allow special items to be brought into the past, mission items were excluded.
"We also found something, but we're not sure if it's useful. You only have such a short time? In fact, even if you don't come to us, you can still complete God's trial."
Miss Violet reminded, but Shade shook his head. Although he could tell the gods directly, "My wish is to help Miss Violet know the beauty of eternity," he could not give up his adventure companions. :
"I promised to help you, how could I climb the tower alone?"
The witches smiled.
According to Shade's speculation before he left last time, there must be a solution to the test given by the great man who temporarily resided in the Obsidian Tower. This not only means that Shade can find a solution, but also that Miss Violet and her group can also find a solution on the island in the middle of the Lost Lake.
Before Shade showed up, the Witch and her group did work hard to analyze and speculate on possible sacrifices on the island. Miss Violet even ventured deep into the fog of the island and touched the island. More taboo. Although in Shade's opinion, the Witch Emperor's character is very problematic, she is a genuine thirteenth-level witch and a formal member of the [Witch Council] of this era.
She is far more powerful than Shade thought. Before the "Invisible Son" incident, Violet Marshall held the [Night Watch] dozens of times and went deep into the depths of the island in the middle of the Lost Lake alone. A cube was found buried deep in the soil on the other side of the island.
"Yes, the Secret Keeper-level relic [Water Cube], I remember it was lost 300 years ago. I didn't expect it to appear in a place like this."
The small blue cube is now being kept by Miss Teresa. The Witch and her party did not know the relationship between the cube and the sacrifice. Before they were forced to retreat from the camp after encountering the Invisible Son, they even speculated that they would activate the [Water Cube] to obtain water, but that also meant that they had to provide at least 1,000 living creatures. Only through human sacrifice can the eternal source of water be shut off.
Fortunately, Shade brought good news. All the relics needed to be soaked in water was enough, which also made Miss Violet breathe a sigh of relief.
The water in the water bag soaked the water cube, and then the water that could be used as a sacrifice reentered the water bag. Miss Violet signaled her maid to hand the water bag to Shade. This is an ordinary water storage container with a small volume:
"If I had known that you could also find sacrifices, I wouldn't actually have to take this risk. Although additional sacrifices mean additional blessings, we shouldn't be so greedy, right?"
She regretfully said to Shade, this feeling is genuine. Compared to additional blessings, this cautious thirteenth-level witch really hates taking risks.
The third time they came to the Obsidian Tower, both Shade and Miss Theresa were filled with emotion. Miss Violet asked her maids to wait under the tower, then patted Miss Theresa on the shoulder, took off her pointed hat and asked:
"Schulz, let me ask you one last time, are you sure you want to go in with us? This tower has three floors. The higher you go, the more dangerous it becomes. You almost failed to hold on last time."
She looked at Shade, who was looking up at the tower and nodded:
"The gods are now at the top, which is the final destination."
Miss Violet looked at her distant niece again, who hung the relic [Proof of Faith] around her neck:
"I'm ready for anything."
The big witch shook her head, explained to her maids again, and then signaled that Shade could set off.
Xia De inserted the [Night Watch] into the soil and took a look at the fact that there was no water flowing out. He knew that although the combat experience inherited from the sword could appear in this era through his touch, the "Lady of the Lake" was responsible for this sword. The new characteristics given have not yet appeared in this era.
I was about to push open the tower door, but hesitated and turned my head to look at the silver sword. He recalled the dangerous trial in Huntington City not long ago, and thought that he had no "arrows" at this time, so he reached out and pulled out the [Night Watch] again:
"Let's go."
"Why carry weapons?"
Miss Teresa asked nervously, Shade pursed his lips and said tentatively:
"Is it possible that after offering sacrifices to complete the second trial, the final trial will involve us working together to defeat that god?"
