Whispering Verse

Chapter 1877 Enlightenment - Bell Tower Lovers

"Speaking of which, the Black Mist Camp is also filled with chains of sin."

Shade thought of this again, and then decided to ask his question at the moment:

"Is there any reason why you asked me this question?"

"The chains you hold are not power that anyone can hold. Cherish this power. You may not understand what it means now, but one day you will realize that the person who gave you this power , what kind of gift did I give you?"

This answer is basically no answer, but at least it shows that [Chain of Sin] is a very unique power. Shade knew it was unique from the beginning. After all, it can directly affect the thaumaturgy of the ring warlock's life ring. So far, he has only Got exposed to this one.

You know, even if it is a relic that can directly affect the Ring Warlock's life ring and "another self", so far he has only seen the mirror in the underground ruins of Tobesk.

The transaction has been completed. In the raging flames on the other side of the rift, a corpse lying on the ground appeared on the right side of Mr. Richard Jackman, who had originally used his spirit body to seal the rift. And the corpse was clearly identical to the soul.

The soul cannot move due to the sealing of the crack, and the body naturally cannot move either. But in the eyes of Shade and Miss Higgins, the two are gradually getting closer until they become one.

"The spaces coincide? Or is the earth moving?"

Naturally, no one answered this question. After obtaining the body, the man who was suffering in the flames actually stood up. The god at the top of the bell tower waved his hand, and golden light appeared, temporarily blocking the cracks in the ground that were spitting out flames.

Although the flames were still burning behind the crack, the young knight, whose body was covered with scars, still staggered against the flames and came step by step to the crack opened by the gods. He could see everyone at the top of the bell tower through this crack, and naturally he could also see the elderly Mrs. Miles.

Even though his soul was enduring severe pain at this time, even though there was no power on this long-dead body, he still relied on his last wish and a lifetime of guilt to take difficult steps and finally arrived at the bell tower.

The promise made half a century ago, after years of waiting and countless sunrises and sunsets, was finally realized in this dilapidated and strange clock tower. When she saw the figure that had appeared countless times in her dreams walking out of the fire, and heard the heavy footsteps appearing in the bell tower, even though Mrs. Miles had prepared for this moment her whole life, she still trembled all over. Tears welling up blurred vision:

"Richard!"

The knight who staggered forward also called out the name:

"Sarah!"

Shade frowned slightly. The young knight who walked out of the crack, although his soul and body were combined, did not look like a living person. It was just a body controlled by the soul.

However, the soul can be considered free in this way, which is at least much better than sealing the cracks of the devil's flame.

Miss Higgins, at least, doesn't care whether a man lives or dies. Seeing that she was moved, she returned the rusty knight's sword in her hand to the man who still smelled strongly of sulfur. Shade reached into his pocket and took out a sword that could be worn. garland on her head, and handed it to the trembling Mrs. Miles.

The agreement between the two of them was that Mrs. Miles would weave a wreath of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme that bloomed at the intersection of her hometown to welcome her lover's return. However, Shad had no way of knowing this in advance, so his wreath was Woven with roses, laurels, baby's breath and tulips. He didn't even make it himself, but bought it from the flower shop run by Agelina's maids on Silver Cross Avenue - the garland is also a commonly used ritual symbol.

Mrs. Miles took the wreath with her trembling hands, and her eyes blurred by tears stared at the young knight who hung the sword back on his waist.

Then, both of them took steps towards each other. The young Richard Jackman lowered his head slightly, and the old Sarah Miles put the wreath on his head.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, and then they hugged tightly:

"I'm back, Sarah."

"Welcome back, Richard."

The sentence that should have been spoken many, many years ago was finally spoken now.

The god looked at this scene with a smile, very satisfied with the story that the mortals unfolded in front of them, which was more precious than gold. Miss Higgins' yearning for love once again emerged in her heart, and she complained that when she was young, she did not take the initiative to pursue the beautiful girls around her.

At this moment, Xia De also had many new ideas in his mind. He really admired the two people in front of him, whether it was Mrs. Miles who spent her whole life waiting for a promise that had a high probability of not being fulfilled, or the young knight who did not hesitate to use his soul to block the promise of reunion in order to fulfill it. The terrifying demonic flames are enough to be written into poetry and have been sung and praised for thousands of years.

"Is this loyalty to love?"

He thought silently in his heart, and then thought of himself and his relationship with the girls. However, he was no longer confused. Even if he can't be like the two people in front of him and only care about one person for the rest of his life, he can still do it. In order to wait for someone and to fulfill the promise he made, even if he uses up all his strength, he will never do it. Don't let anyone down.

The two people hugging each other were sobbing. For both of them, this scene had been waiting for too long. Their embrace was so forceful, it was as if they were rubbing each other into each other's bodies, never to be separated again.

"oh!"

Miss Higgins suddenly let out a sigh with a hint of horror, because she really saw that the body of the living Mrs. Miles was merging with the body of the dead knight. The souls who missed each other wanted to hug each other tightly, so the bodies that blocked the souls truly merged according to their thoughts.

First the chest, then the arms, then the head. They slowly sat down by the fire, their bodies gradually hunched over, until their bones touched each other and forcibly fused together in a heart-wrenching sound.

"That's why I said, this is a horror story."

Shade thought in his mind and stopped Miss Higgins to prevent her from getting closer:

"Look carefully, we can't stop this."

Black smoke floated out from the two twisted bodies, and the choking smell of sulfur became stronger than before. The knight's soul with demonic flames is so hot. When the temperature of the soul bursts out due to emotion, the temperature melts the body and complies with the master's wishes, so that they will never be separated.

Mrs. Miles did not resist, and the melting of her body could not stop her from contacting her lover's soul. After the scorching temperature gradually dissipated, forcing Shade and Miss Higgins to retreat, the black flames completely engulfed them. And when the flames dissipated, all that was left beside the campfire were two white bones fused together.

Since the Green Lake incident, Shade has seen many different fusion monsters. But only the white bones he saw at this time seemed to him not only not scary and weird, but also somewhat holy.

Skeletons are twisted and intertwined, and bone spurs are intertwined with each other. The skeleton itself has a color like white jade, with strong miraculous and profane elements.

Next to the skeleton, the souls of Mrs. Miles and Mr. Jackman were holding hands, looking at their corpses blankly. The god smiled and pointed at the strange-shaped bone, letting it come in front of Shade and Miss Higgins:

"Do you understand?"

The two of them touched the bones with their hands, and then different visions appeared behind them.

Behind Miss Higgins, at the end of the original nine steps, the phantom of the tenth step slowly appeared. Behind Shade, in the thick steam mist, accompanied by the sound of whistles and bells, a huge brass ring slowly emerged, symbolizing "enlightenment", like a dim clock tower. A copper-colored sun appears at the top.

[If you love someone, you will wait for her all your life; if you love everyone, you will protect all happiness. The attraction between soul and soul, the fusion of body and body, and loyal love can span long time and distant space. The farthest distance in the world is the longing between soul and soul. 】

[Outlander, you have witnessed the story of "The Lovers in the Bell Tower". 】

All this happened naturally, as if it should belong to Shade:

[Outlander, you are engraved with the brass enlightenment rune - Bell Tower Lover. 】

Not surprisingly, the last spiritual rune of the six rings belonging to Sha De appeared the moment his hand touched the skeleton.

He turned to look at his life ring and understood that this spiritual rune was the power of the fusion of his true understanding of "loyalty" and the emotion of witnessing this story.

The mystery lock has not appeared yet, which means that he has only understood the story, but has not yet understood the power of the story. But this was enough. Shade had countless things in his heart at the moment that he wanted to say to his girls. Other people's stories are over, and his story has just begun.

"Your soul can exist in the material world for 365 days, and then it will come to an end."

The god said to Mrs. Miles and the young knight, and they bowed deeply to express their thanks. Afterwards, Shade and Miss Higgins also bowed together to express their gratitude to the gods.

As for the fused skeleton, it slowly floated towards the crack that still existed, and then replaced the soul of the original knight and sealed it in the huge gap in the ground. The dark flames still wanted to escape from the cracks, but were absorbed by the bones, causing them to embrace closer and closer, causing them to gradually melt and merge with the cracks.

Finally, the holy white bones completely filled the cracks, perfectly blocking the exit of the flame. As for the remaining black flames on the ground, they were all absorbed by this strange skeleton.
