Whispering Verse

Chapter 924: lake road

Because the wedding banquet on Tuesday night was too much fun, Xia De actually did almost nothing on this Wednesday. But by Thursday, it's also time to get on with what's at hand.

After getting up early in the morning, use the pages of the manuscript in your hand to make an appointment to meet the librarian Miss Dennist at night. Afterwards, I caught Mia, who was walking around home energetically after breakfast, and took the cat to Huntington with her as the cat struggled desperately.

Yesterday, Xia De had already left a letter to Sister Divelin in Midhill Castle, and agreed on a specific time for using the [Magician's Escape Box].

He showed up at the White River Valley Vineyard at nine o'clock ahead of schedule, half an hour earlier. In order to prevent the "escape ceremony" from being affected by the statue of the ancient god, he left the wine cellar and arranged a ceremony in the vineyard house.

The servants who stayed on the vineyard during the winter were not entitled to use the house, so there was plenty of room here. Although the old vampire who was in charge of guarding the warehouse in winter didn't know what Shade was going to do, he was very cooperative and helped him.

Tobesk's first snow has arrived, and Huntington is still waiting in early winter.

Mia, who came to Huntington for the first time, was obviously not interested in this strange place. However, the cats raised by the White River Valley Vineyard for catching mice quickly annoyed it. After discovering that they were "conspiring against Shade", the small orange cat "roared" for a while, frightened. The three Carson Rick cats, who were at least three times his size, ran away.

Xia De still doesn't understand why Mia has such a powerful deterrent to her kind.

It was nine o'clock, and as the ritual array on the ground, which was completely different from the contemporary mystic rituals and should have no effect, shone with light, Sister Divelin, with her head bowed and her hands clasped together, appeared in that light.

Using the relic [Magician's Escape Box] should have a slight feeling of being pierced by a sharp blade, but the mood of the cultivator has not changed. After "seeing" Xia De holding the cat, he only greeted him softly, as if he was not traveling thousands of miles, but just visiting the neighbor's house next door.

After erasing the ritual array on the ground, Xia De led the nuns in the underground wine cellar of the White River Valley vineyard, entered the space behind the hidden wall, and touched the statue of the ancient **** to establish a signpost. Because some time ago, the nun had touched the statue in the abandoned tower in the mountains of Xical Mountain, so the nun officially established the transmission channel between Fort Midhill-Huntington.

Leading the horses from the stables, Shad and Sister Devlin set off on a horse each. Although it sounds dangerous for a blind man to ride a horse, Sister Diveline, who still has a blindfold on her face, is indeed riding a horse.

They did not enter the city, but went straight to the west of the city from the vineyards of the White River Valley located on the great plain east of the city.

Xia De was originally worried that Sister Divelin was not good at riding horses. As a result, the blind nun showed amazing equestrian skills, which even made Xia De wonder whether people in this world learn "equestrianism" as a basic course like literacy .

Today's Huntington is a bit cloudy, but it does not prevent them from enjoying the scenery of the outer suburbs of this red wine capital along the way. When he was close to Carlake Lake in the west of Huntington marked on the map, Shad signaled to Sister Divelin to stop:

"Sister, the 'Goddess of the Lake' gave me a hint to bring a smart enough animal, it can give us directions. So I chose this place, let's take a walk around now, try to forget our original purpose, Mia will probably show us the way soon."

The main reason was that there were no villages or small towns nearby, and Sister Divelin didn't have to worry about being seen with such a strange dress.

"Meow?"

Hearing his name being mentioned, the cat lying on the horse's head glanced at Xia De. It's ridiculous to say that after Shade got off the horse, he originally put Little Mia on the saddle, but the cat probably thought the saddle was not a good view, or simply didn't think it was high enough, so it climbed onto the horse's head by itself.

And the black horse was not angry at all, and put Mia cat on its head very docilely, making this cat like a cat-shaped "horse controller".

Sister Devlin led the horse and walked beside Shad, and the two walked along the country road along the lake. The temperature in the morning in early winter is not particularly low, but you can still feel the cold wind near the lake. In recent weeks, the temperature has dropped every day. At this time, the lake was not yet frozen, but there were no fishermen to be seen nearby.

On one side of the country road is a large lake, on the other side is an unused wasteland, and in the distance you can see a dead forest, which seems to be an orchard that was bought nearby.

The two chatted while walking, and Shad talked about the fourth chosen one found in Tobesk, and told the nun the clues of the "Keeper of Secrets" and "Pyroxene the Wise". He also asked the nuns what they planned to do with the "evil thing of the Pantanal." This is a rare existence that can be burned as firewood by the first fire, and the nuns cannot let it go.

"Although I am a high-ring warlock and a chosen one, compared with the mysterious Pantanal area, I still have some shortcomings. The religious order is planning to acquire a private hospital in Huntington City, and after developing it into a church industry, dispatch The nuns of the order stayed in the local area to investigate. After one to two months of intelligence gathering, I will seek help from the Witch Council, and go deep into the swamp with the big witch of the Council to find the place where the evil is sealed."

Although this method is time-consuming, it is indeed quite cautious and appropriate. After Xia De expressed his appreciation, the nun turned her head and "looked" to the west, which is the real location of the Pantanal Swamp:

"The spiritual order believes that everything has animism. The blind nuns of the order can perceive the world keenly. The Pantanal is not as simple as we think. Even though I haven't gone deep into that area at the moment, I can still Feel the presence of those horrors."

Although Sister Daveline used De La Rion, it was an ancient grammar. Even if Xia De understood it, he had to think for a while before he could understand:

"You mean to say that the Pantanal region is as dangerous as the Xical Mountains some time ago?"

"No."

The nun shook her head slightly, and Xia De's gaze rested on her silver-gray hair for a moment.

"Much more dangerous than Mount Xical."

"Ha~"

Shad sighed, but wasn't surprised at all. Not only was he not surprised, he was not even worried at all. No matter how dangerous the Pantanal was, it didn't matter to him. Although Huntington City was near the swamp, it was not in the swamp area after all.

The two chatted while walking, and the time passed quickly. Xia De and the nun were leading the horse, and the winter wind in the countryside was blowing their clothes; the horse was carrying Mia, and Mia was squatting on the horse's head and looking around. Go up and enjoy the feeling of blowing.

At 10:43 in the morning, when Shade asked Sister Devlin about the Truth Society, the cat suddenly turned its head to look at the silent lake in the distance. for a moment:

"Meow~"

Its sound was not obvious outdoors, Xia De didn't hear it at first, and only noticed the abnormality of the cat when "she" reminded him.

"What's wrong?"

Xia De immediately looked at the cat expectantly, and reached out to hug it off the horse's head. Unexpectedly, Miya jumped onto the horse's back and then onto the ground.

Shad was startled at the time. Ever since Little Mia was put in charge of Grace and Helen during the Battle of Fort Midhill, he had never seen the cat's four little paws touching the ground outside.

The orange and white kitten raised its head, sniffed the air vigorously with its pink nose, then looked back at Xia De, and then walked towards the river.

Shad and Sister Devlin then led the horses and followed them down the **** of the river, and found that the cat was almost heading straight for the shore of Calac Lake. The natural lake in this wetland area is surrounded by wet mud. The cat who always likes to be clean actually stepped on it directly, but there was no paw print left on the mud.

Just as Shad began to wonder again whether the cat was normal, he discovered that he and Sister Devlin ~lightnovelpub.net~ and even the two horses had not left footprints in the mud.

The cat continued to go deeper and deeper into the lake, and finally entered the lake. But it didn't enter the water, instead it stood on the lake and looked back as if it had learned to "walk on water", beckoning Xia De to follow.

There was no ripple on the lake under the cat's paws. The orange cat looked very energetic, and kept turning its head, as if scolding Xia De for walking too slowly.

"Yes, the miracle element!"

[There is a hidden road ahead. 】

"She" said in Xia De's ear with a smile.

Xia De tried to stretch out his feet towards the water surface, and he really found that there was an invisible solid road above the rippling water waves.

It's just that he didn't know how wide the road on the water was, whether it would allow him to walk side by side with the nun.

As a well-informed high-ring magician, Sister Devlin naturally knew how to deal with the current situation.

With a wave of his slender fingers forward, several stones emitting different lights fell irregularly to the surface of the water. Most of them fell into the water, and a small part "suspended" on the water surface, marking the location of the hidden road.

"Spell - luminous stone. Create non-physical luminous stones. Stones can maintain a long-term existence by consuming extra spirit when casting spells. The caster can judge whether the target luminous stone is created by himself. In night exploration and ancient tomb excavation , are often used to mark roads and judge heights, and sometimes act as low-light lighting."

Sister Devlin noticed Shad's surprise and explained softly.

This should also be a basic spell, but it's a pity that there is no such spell in Shade's "Pink Book". Although the list of basic spells in the "Pink Book" given by "Desire" is quite long, it is more biased towards... practicality.
