Chapter 766: ice and devil

Latest URL: Breaking through the fog, a group of people arrived at Cassandra Auction House at 2:30 in the morning. For safety, the ceremony of entering the dream was performed in the room in the basement of the auction house. There are many rooms hidden by illusions in the underground of the auction house. I don't know what Granny Cassandra wants to do.

The room selected for the ceremony was much smaller than the room where Grace and Helen were. A full-sized four-poster bed sits in the center of the room, and a burning fireplace provides light—there are no gas lamps, because of the access of the gas pipes, which would render the privacy of the room meaningless.

The old witch's maids were still making arrangements, and the scent of the "Dead Sleeping Flower" in the room made Xia De almost sneeze. Taking advantage of the waiting time, the witches informed Xia De of the precautions after falling asleep, and told him that in order to prevent Joey Barton from using three channels to enter death and call back the dead, the church entrusted the council of witches to perform the sealing ceremony While the "Scar of the Holy Tree" is held, guard the seal on the mountainside.

Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora planned to invite Sister Divelin to re-enter the narrow room with them after Xia De returned from the dream, and wait at the seal on the mountainside until the church ceremony ended.

As for the seals on the top of the mountain and the natural church at the foot of the mountain, they are guarded by the church.

It was close to three o'clock in the morning. Xia De took off his coat and shoes, and lay on the bed in a white shirt. The witches had already covered the bedside with white "Mianlong grass"...

Under the pillow was the clown's half umbilical cord specimen, and I don't know how Granny Cassandra got it before the Orthodox Church. In Xia De's hand, besides the "Devil Amulet" given by the doctor, there are also three relic rings given by the witches.

Those rings were placed in three velvet cloth ring boxes of different colors but exactly the same style. Two of them are of the clerical level and one is of the keeper level.

"One of the common sense of ring warlocks is not to carry too many relics on your body, let alone use more than three relics that affect you at the same time."

Miss Aurora said, sitting on the side of the bed, and opened those ring boxes:

"You ventured into the narrow room, you shouldn't have used the relic, but in order to ensure safety, you can't use so many rings in conjunction with the ceremony. And Galina mentioned that your resistance to the whispering element is far superior to ordinary ring magicians, Otherwise, mother-in-law will only allow you to wear one at most."

She signaled Xia De to put all those rings on his left hand:

"This one is [Dream Feast], a clerical-level relic. Wearing this ring into a dream, the ring warlock can slowly increase the upper limit of his own spirit in his sleep. As for dreaming into a narrow space, it means that he can slightly resist the narrow space. In the middle, the negative effect of greatly reducing the recovery speed of the spirit. The negative effect of the ring is that there will be a slight sense of hunger in the dream, and as time goes by, the hunger will become stronger and stronger until the user is lost in the dream. But Owners of spiritual runes such as [Gluttony] have strong resistance to its negative effects."

Xia De took the ring and found that [Meng Xiang] was a golden ring with a small emerald facet. The outer circle of the ring is an interconnected spiral pattern, while the inner circle is engraved with ancient runes—

[After falling into a dream, the dream is a feast. 】

"This one is [Spirit Ring], keeper level. When the spirit body holds it, it can add an invisible energy shield to itself. The negative effect is that the holder will hear whispers, and it is extremely changeable. It is an evil spirit, but it is not a big problem to wear it for a short time."

[Spirit Ring] is a pretty silver ring, it looks a bit like a wedding ring. The outer surface bears the letters of the Fifth Age—

[I would like to accompany you forever and become your most solid shield. 】

"The last one is [Apostle's Ice Ring], a clerical-level relic. It is a relic of an extraordinary disciple from the Fourth Epoch. Its effect is very inconspicuous. It can keep ring warlocks awake in their dreams, and they can also wake up in their dreams. Possesses the power to manipulate ice. But this power can only be found in dreams, so it is basically useless except for today's special situation. The negative effect is that it will freeze the soul and release the unwilling resentment. My mother-in-law and I will take care of you , so don't worry about that."

[Apostle's Ice Ring] It is really made of ice, and the outer ring of the ice ring is inlaid with extremely small purple gemstones. The ring was abnormally cold. Wearing it on his finger, he could even feel the chill running down his arm towards his heart. There are no letters or engravings on the inside and outside of the ring, but when the ring is pointed at the light, you can see the sentence formed by the tiny gemstone particles frozen inside the ice—

[Please bless me with the power of solid ice, even if it is only in a dream. 】

All three rings were worn by Xia De on his fingers. As for the black crystal amulet he was holding, the witches only asked about its general purpose, and didn't care about it any more.

"In short, be careful in your dreams. Don't worry about Joey Barton seeing your face, the ritual will blur your image."

After drinking the orange-flavored sleep aid potion and the soul-stabilizing requiem potion brought by Granny Cassandra, Xia De lay on the pillow under the eyes of the surrounding people. . As the maids put down the black gauze curtains around them, the fire in the fireplace was extinguished little by little, and the vision above the head became blurred.

Someone outside the curtain was chanting mantras softly, and someone was singing softly. Xia De heard the ringing of the bell, and heard the murmur that seemed to come from a dream.

The bed was so comfortable that it engulfed Shad's body like a swamp. He felt sleepiness welling up in his heart, so he closed his eyes.

The body fell in the darkness, and the consciousness was pulled by some kind of strange. Xia De meditated in his heart on the appearance of the clown who had fought with him on the icy lake under the moon. The witches' secret techniques drew this imagination and distorted it into a strong longing, and communicated the relationship between life and death. Narrow room.

"Shad, it's now."

Granny Cassandra's vague voice came from beside her ears, and a black door suddenly appeared in the deepest part of her consciousness. There is no door panel, and black gauze dangles in the door frame.

Xia De stretched out his hand forward and pushed aside the black veil, behind him was the cold white mist.

The momentary sense of soul stripping gave him the illusion that the shackles were broken. And when he realized that his surroundings had become a decaying narrow space, he immediately asked a question in his heart:

"What do I look like now?"

[It's still Shade Hamilton. 】

"But."

[Outlander, this is your dream, not your soul leaving the body. You still haven't fully grasped the basic knowledge of the first grade. 】

While the "she" next to her ear chuckled, Miss Aurora's voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place through several layers of glass:

"Shad, can you hear me?"

"Audible, but not very clear."

Xia De replied in his heart, he knew there would be a connection before falling into the dream.

"How is the situation now?"

Xia De looked around and found that the scenery in the thick fog was very familiar:

"I was on the streets in downtown Fort Midhill, and the space was much scarier than it was when we entered last week. The fog was thick, and I didn't see the Joker or Joey Barton, and I haven't been affected for a while. attack."

"There is no problem with the mother-in-law's ceremony, the target should be nearby. You pay attention to safety, look around, we will come back later."

The sound stopped abruptly, and this contact could not last forever.

The red butterfly given by Grace and Helen can detect the position of the "nail" at close range. When confronting the clown and the earl, Shad used a butterfly respectively. Now that the last nail has been caught by the church, the last red butterfly is again used by Xia De to search for the clown.

He should be very close to the clown's position now, and the red butterfly on his shoulder was faintly restless and wanted to fly out, but it didn't reach the level of flying out. The most indispensable thing in the narrow place is the lingering undead, so Shade did not boldly walk on the street. After appearing on the corner of Oak Street in the city center, he stepped on the mud on the ground and carefully stuck to the place in the fog. He leaned against the wall and entered the shop facing the street.

In the real world, this is a tobacco shop, and Priest Augustus even bought tobacco here, but in the narrow space, it is just a dilapidated three-story building that looks like it is about to collapse.

The darkness in the room is unimaginable, and large black and gray mold spots are distributed on the peeled-off walls, just like the corpse spots on the body of the deceased. The corpse grass covered the gaps in the walls, and the lingering white mist made it impossible for Xia De to see the position of the indoor walls at a glance.

There was no danger on the first floor, but the fat woman undead wandering around on the second floor carrying a heavy ax was the first opponent Xia De encountered during this trip.

Her waist was about three or four times thicker than Shad's. When she dragged the **** rusty giant ax back and forth, it was hard to hear whether the sound of the ax was louder or her footsteps were louder. Of course, the sound will be attenuated in the narrow room, so Xia De only heard the sound after he came to the second floor.

She walked back and forth in the spacious living room on the second floor, and the wreckage of furniture with a horrible black appearance and a corpse that had already turned into a mummified corpse were scattered around the wall.

As soon as Xia De, who was struggling to jump up from the broken stairs, appeared, the fat woman stopped, and the rotten face of the evil spirit screamed at him, revealing the black teeth and rotten mouth, and then the woman rushed over with big strides .

Xia De subconsciously wanted to split the moonlight forward, but stopped after thinking about it:

"Ice and Demons."

Taking a slight step backwards, he disappeared in front of the stairs, and then the huge ax directly hit the already fragile floor, and the huge force seemed to be able to collapse the entire building.

Xia De had already appeared behind the woman at this time, and unexpectedly discovered that a rotten pig's head was completely inlaid on the back of this spirit body. The pig's head looked at him with wide eyes, and at the same time, the woman also seemed to have eyes behind her back, vigorously swinging the huge blood ax towards the back.

Xia De did not dodge, but held his right hand tightly. In the dream, there is no doctor's devil talisman in his hand, but there are symbols of devil script in his palm. At this moment, squirming black pus spread from the palm to the entire arm, and the pus wrapped around Xia De's right hand in an instant, making his arm seem to swell in a circle.

At the same time, the ice power from the relic ring also seeped into the giant's hand, and the chill even made Shade, the user, feel terrible.

"Ah!"

The thick right hand was raised high, holding the giant ax abruptly. With a strong sense of power, Xia De pulled the ax suddenly from the fat woman's hand~lightnovelpub.net~ The evil spirit was also obviously taken aback, and then, amidst the screaming sound, it seemed like a chariot The same rushed over. The black pus swelled up again, Xia De stretched out his right hand and grabbed the fat woman completely in his palm.

The cold air overflowed, and when Xia De let go of his palm, there was only a lifelike ice sculpture left in place. The fist hit the ice sculpture, and the ice and the soul shattered together. Because the thaumaturgy [Mind Blast] was used in the attack, the shell of the evil spirit peeled off, and the dying soul appeared. It was a middle-aged woman with a normal figure:

"If I could understand before I was alive, my appearance would actually be enough."

She left a last word and left.

"It's so strong?"

The black pus gradually faded away, and the thick black silk thread that was pulled out slowly poured into the demon symbol in the palm. Xia De's right hand returned to normal. He looked at his palm and sincerely thanked Dr. Schneider for his help.
