Whispering Verse

Chapter 258: silver pupils

The three people who stayed behind in the ruins each had very few personal items representing memories. That ring was related to Karis' love in her youth.

"Those three people are indeed worthy of admiration."

Xia De said softly, then suddenly he was taken aback, and turned to look at the corner behind him. The silver moonlight in his hand illuminated the place, but there was nothing there.

"I just felt, why is someone watching me there?"

[I feel it too, but it's very vague, I don't know what it is. 】

"Is anyone here?"

Xia De yelled softly, but got no response. After confirming that the thing peeping at him just now disappeared, he continued to check the things in the coffin.

He didn't touch the urn, let alone the ring, but carefully studied the map in the letter in his hand. The map was very detailed, and he easily found the room where the gargoyles and mirrors were stored, and according to the direction, he found the room where the [maze candle] was located.

There was originally a trap in that room, and once someone broke into it rashly, the ruins would release a deadly alchemy mist. But presumably it was modified by [Blood of Mercury], using safer relics as guards.

Shad can't go back to that room, otherwise he will be trapped in the maze again, but this time there probably won't be any butterflies to help him.

Fortunately, although there is only one door in the current tomb room, there is still a secret passage leading to the room where the [Corpse Tree] is suppressed. At the same time, there are not only dangerous trees in the room, but also the holy emblems, statues and [God's Gift Box] of the old gods.

The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled:

"Sure enough, the most dangerous things will be put together. However, now is not the time to hesitate. Hurry up and find the [God's Gift Box], so that I can help them."

According to the map, Xia De found an inconspicuous stone brick with a holy emblem on the wall of the tomb. Pushing inward, the stone wall around him suddenly turned, revealing a dark passage.

Going along the passage, it's not a straight road, it keeps turning. Even though the pace was fast, it took five minutes to reach the end. The light of the silver moon illuminated the stone wall in front of him, Xia De hesitated for a moment, first put the extract diluent of the weathervane bluegrass on the tip of his tongue, and then lit the few remaining candles, and then he found the light engraved with the holy emblem of stone.

After pressing hard, the stone wall in front of him opened again, and outside the stone wall, there were strange blue lights.

Climbing out of the secret passage and looking around, the new relic room is more than three times larger than the room where the gargoyle is placed, like a huge hole in the ground. The ground is uneven, countless tree roots are crawling under the floor, a giant tree stands in the center of the room, the canopy covers the ceiling of the entire room abruptly, and because the rock wall above the head is not high enough, the branches are forced to bend .

The vines hang down from the canopy, and the vines themselves are shining with a blue light. It is this light that illuminates this place, but it also makes this place look extremely weird.

[You have come into contact with "Whispers". 】

"This tree is that relic?"

The tree itself didn't respond to Shade's appearance. It stood quietly in this underground space, which was a little smaller than the tree itself, as if it had been like this from ancient times to the present.

Probably because of the existence of this tree, the musty smell in the ruins finally disappeared. But this means that the tree is still "alive", and the millennium has not starved it to death.

Looking into the depths of the room, a high platform with three steps stands in the corner. On the wall of the high platform, a metal holy emblem is hung. On the high platform under the holy emblem, there is a statue of a **** wearing a robe without a face, holding a box in his hand.

The statues and holy emblems seemed to have no power, and were illuminated by the blue light dotted with vines. And even though the distance is very far, Xia De still sees the exquisite straight lines spreading on the six sides of the bronze cube, like a circuit diagram, with a different order in the chaos.

Glittering gemstones of seven colors are inlaid on those straight nodes. An inexplicable impulse made Xia De want to cross the canopy of the big tree and touch the box, but he still held back.

[There is a ring warlock nearby. 】

"Where?"

[Ahead, in the shadows on the left hand side. 】

Xia De squinted his eyes and looked at the direction pointed by "her", and sure enough, in the dimness, he saw a figure standing in the shadow under the tree, looking up at the crown of the tree motionless.

It was a man in size, so it couldn't be Miss Bayarth or Miss Anat. Xia De calculated the time until the end of 47 seconds, and walked quickly to the man. He didn't dare to get very close, worried that his unreasonable "sixth sense" would make the other party notice him.

Holding his breath, the light of the silver moon lit up in the palm of his hand, and as the candle was extinguished, it struck the man whose back was facing Xia De.

That ray of moonlight did not make any sound in the air, it appeared soundlessly, but when it hit the stranger's back, it made the sound of hitting a metal plate.

The cautious Xia De has once again concealed himself with the candle in his hand, ready to make a space jump at any time. He saw liquid mercury dripping from the wound on the stranger's back, but remained motionless.

The weird situation made Xia De take a few steps back, and turned his head to look at the exit of the room, but he didn't expect the person under the tree to turn around stiffly at this moment. The bunch of silver eyes surprised Xia De:

"Are you the guy who broke in here?"

His voice was very hoarse and weak, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

The candle was still burning, but he looked directly into Shad's eyes. Xia De knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he took the initiative to snuff out the candle:

"Who are you?"

Remind the other me that I am ready to burn my divinity at any time, and at the same time pinch the charm provided by Miss Bayas in my pocket with my left hand, which can resist the magic eye [greedy silver].

"'Silver Eyed One' Diack."

Following his voice, rustling sounds came from the crown above his head. Some vines drooped slowly, and the faint blue light illuminated the two people standing opposite each other under the tree.

Only then did Xia De finally see seven or eight thick, non-luminous vines hanging down from the crown of the tree, piercing deeply into the silver-eyed man's back. Under the faint blue light, the silver-eyed man, the nine-ring magician who was regarded as the enemy by the three of them, turned out to be a slumped middle-aged man at this moment.

He looked pretty bad, the vines piercing his back, connecting him to the big tree behind him. The tree seemed to be "absorbing" him, literally.

He looked at Xia De, and there seemed to be no soul in his dim pupils:

"Who are you? Orthodox Church? Or a ring warlock who came here purely for that sage-level relic?"

Asked in a hoarse voice, Xia De shook his head:

"neither."

"It doesn't matter who you are, why not stay with me."

The mouth opened, and mercury shot out of his mouth like an arrow, heading straight for Shad's face. But Xia De, who had been prepared for a long time, turned around and easily dodged. At the same time, a silver mist rose up and enveloped him.

The silver-eyed person did not continue to attack, and his throat continued to make a hoarse voice:

"It's useless, no one can escape."

The faint blue light shone on his face, making the whole person look terrifying like a ghost. Only then did Xia De, who was in the silver mist, notice that only the toes of the other party were in contact with the ground, and the whole person was actually lifted up by the tree vines.

Xia De didn't continue talking with the other party, he held the gold necklace around his neck, and controlled the area of ​​the illusion to expand continuously. If you want to touch the box held by the statue, you must pass under the tree canopy. It's hard to judge what happened to the Silver Pupils now, but there must be something wrong with this tree.

He wanted to expand the range of the illusion to a large enough range, and then cooperate with [Ragley's Jump] to reach the side that prevents the raising of the statue without disturbing the [Corpse Tree].

"You know the School of Blood Elves? You all think I'm crazy, they're crazy. The guy who was sent activated the tree for the corpse of the ancient ring magician that was swallowed by the tree. Haha, who You can't run away... What if you run away? The evil **** is about to come, and you won't be able to live if you go out."

"Do you think the Orthodox Church has no preparations?"

Xia De in the silver mist retorted, but he didn't expect the other party to laugh, and his silver eyes scanned the mist:

"Lawrence, the church discovered that Lawrence is a vessel from the gods. But that is the vessel we prepared for the cultists of the [Lord of the Blood Banquet]. Do you think that group of cultists have no second-hand preparations?"

Xia De, who controlled the illusion, frowned:

"And a second mortal body for the gods...etc."

His eyes widened slightly, and countless clues were connected together at this moment. The back of the doctor who left the banquet seemed to appear in front of his eyes:

"Could it be the two bulimia patients of the doctor?"

He shut up and stopped talking to the silver-eyed person, and finally understood the reason for his uneasiness tonight. Now the silver-eyed person was injured by the relic, and the ring warlock from the [Blood Spirit School] was fighting with the two ladies outside. His uneasiness was not because of the trip to the ruins, but because of the evil god.

But having an extra drop container doesn't mean that there will be accidents. After all, the church also controlled the banquet at the same time. Without the "Blood Banquet" as the basis for the god-calling ceremony, it would be impossible for the [Lord of the Blood Banquet] to appear anyway.

"We must end the underground affairs as soon as possible, and ask Miss Bayas to inform the church of the news, so as to prevent nights from having too many dreams."

Xia De thought in his heart, holding the gold necklace in his hand to control the silver mist, thinking about the continuous expansion of the surroundings.

Under the faint blue light, neither of them spoke again, and the silver pupil even closed his eyes on his own initiative. Only the vines behind him were constantly wriggling, as if absorbing something from his body.

A few minutes later, the silver-eyed person reopened his eyes and looked at the fog that had become bigger:

"I figured it out."

The luster of mercury floated on his body surface, and finally gathered on his back. In the silver pupils, a crazy look finally appeared:

"People from the Blood Spirit School threw me to this tree because of the remains of the ancient ring warlock~lightnovelpub.net~. If I am going to die, then everyone here will not be able to live."

A human figure made of quicksilver appeared on his back, faintly overlapping with his body. The silver-eyed man once summoned a huge mercury giant to fight against the church ring warlock team in Lakeview Manor. Now his power has further declined, so he can only summon a mercury figure of the same size:

"Stay with me."

The quicksilver doll with the same appearance as the silver pupil got out of his body, and the faint blue light of the tree vine made the quicksilver floating on its surface shine.

The mercury figure looked at the cloud of silver mist.

Boom~

A nearly round metal ball was thrown out of the silver mist, and when it landed on the ground, it emitted steam and twirled around.

The silver-eyed person looked down at his feet.

Boom~

The steam bomb exploded at the feet of the silver-eyed man and the quicksilver figure.
