Whispering Verse

In fact, at this moment, Sha De's body temperature is only about 60 degrees when it is reflected in the environment. Sha De shouldn't be able to react to this temperature if he tolerates it, and the unbearable heat is obviously the strange sea of ​​sand itself. The power is at work.

The tree father would never put Shade in a safe place from the beginning. When he thought of "desert", he would immediately think of "giant worm", but Shade did not feel anything like the shaking of the sand surface. Only later did he realize that the high temperature and the sunlight that seemed to melt him were the danger, and he could no longer stay where he was.

There are no signs around at all, and the undulating sand dunes continue to the horizon without change. Shade then ran in the direction in front of him, but he didn't feel that the wind could take away the heat from his body while running.

Fortunately, the tree father would never place him far away from the mission site. After Shade stumbled down from the top of a sand dune, a building finally appeared in the distance, and several people in the building discovered him. One of them waved to him desperately.

Four strangers were inside a square gray stone building standing not far away. It looked like a dilapidated temple, even more dilapidated than the original [Church of the Forgotten] because half of the main body of the building had collapsed. .

The entire building has only one floor, so Xia De didn't see it from a distance just now.

At this moment, the person waving to him at the door was a young girl with blue hair, and behind her stood an elderly woman. In the window on the left is a woman with light brown skin and black hair, dressed quite coolly, and in the window on the right is a tall woman with gray hair.

The blue-haired girl at the door waved her hand and subconsciously wanted to step out of the door, but as soon as she touched the sunlight, she shrank back into the house in pain. This reaction was even greater than Shade's.

Due to the lack of reference objects in the desert, seemingly close distances may be far apart. However, this bright desert does not prohibit spatial movement, so after discovering the destination, Shade gasped and used "Lager" one after another. "Lai's Leap" and "Red Butterfly Incarnation" accelerated their speed, and finally stumbled into the ruined temple before being roasted.

He almost threw himself at the door and fell into the building. And when the shadow of the building blocked the sun, Shade, who was lying on the ground feeling the coolness, almost groaned.

At this moment, even outsiders' memories of summer in their hometown are brought back. Now that I think about it, it was really a long time ago.

"Are you OK?"

A very pleasant voice came to his ears, but it was not in any language that Shade was familiar with. The time at this time is considered to be the middle of the Fifth Era. Although Shade can understand their words because of his "language proficiency", he cannot speak their language.

He waited for a while before getting up from the slightly cold stone tile floor. He placed one hand on the slightly dusty floor and looked at his four companions this time.

The details he captured when he looked here in the desert were correct. The four companions this time were indeed women.

Among them, the one squatting next to Shade and asking him if he was okay was the blue-haired girl who just called him over. The blue hair has a slight natural curvature, and the lines in the ears and blue eyes are different from those of normal people.

This is a witch, probably around the ninth level. She was looking at Xia De's wrist eagerly at this moment. Of course Xia De knew what was thinking in her mind.

"Not human?"

"Sorry, what did you say?"

The blue-haired girl asked curiously and warily, obviously not understanding what Shade said. The lady with light brown skin and dressed coolly like a dancer came to Shade with a smile. She bent down and stretched out her finger to lightly tap Shade's eyebrows:

"This gentleman is probably talking nonsense because he is too hot. Are you feeling better now? Can you speak?"

[Outlander, you have accepted the blessing. Before leaving the "Gravel Sand Sea", what you say can be understood by anyone. 】

Shade glanced at the light brown-skinned lady in surprise, but the latter had already retreated behind the blue-haired girl.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand now."

The blue-haired girl said, and then grabbed Shade's wrist rudely:

"Are you a man? This desert is really interesting, anything can happen. Oh! No reaction, you are indeed not a man."

She looked at her palm with a smile, and Shade took this opportunity to stand up:

"Sorry, I am indeed a male. And thank you for letting me come here to avoid the light."

He expressed his gratitude and the other two came over. Three of the four ladies are witches. The one who is not a witch is the lady with gray hair and a height of over 1.9 meters.

Although this dilapidated desert temple can be protected from light, it is still hot here. The ordinary lady took off most of her equipment, but Shade could still see a set of full-body knight armor placed where she had just been standing.

Looking around again, this is the interior of the desert temple. The semi-collapsed temple is not very large from the inside. Only the entrance of the temple is still intact. Even the sand and dust can only invade the entrance, and then it is only lightly spread on the masonry floor.

The door of the temple has long since disappeared, and rows of long seats with severe weather erosion extend toward the interior of the temple in the shade, and are soon illuminated by the sunlight coming in from the disappeared ceiling.

Judging from the position of the door, the upper left area of ​​this small temple has completely collapsed and has become part of the desert. However, the collapsed building materials filled the gap and therefore did not make the building particularly transparent.

Located in the innermost part of the temple, the wall where the Holy Emblem is placed is empty. Only the sunlight shining in from the break in the ceiling makes the wall seem to be reflecting.

Old and broken, compared to the [Church of the Forgotten] located in the urban area of ​​Randall Valley, this church is truly forgotten.

Of course, now is not the time to observe and explore here. Shade still needs to deal with the relationship with his companions first.

"You said you are a man?"

The blue-haired girl also stood up and looked at Shade:

"I saw you use extraordinary power just now."

"Well, this"

Shade wanted to make a random excuse, but the old woman on crutches, the last of the four, smiled and spoke.

She was not human like the blue-haired girl, but she was definitely of a different race than the blue-haired girl.

Even in her old age, Shade could see the elven race represented in her pointed ears and skin color. This old woman is the shortest of the four, and considering the long lifespan of elves, this elf mother-in-law is definitely older than all the mortals Shade has ever seen.

"Leah, don't be so rude. I feel that he has the blessing of the tree father on him."

The old elf woman raised the crutch in her hand and pointed the bottom at Shade. Shade was stunned for a moment before grabbing the crutch. Some strange gray breath floated out from the wood connecting the two people. The old elf smiled and said with certainty:

"This is the person chosen by the tree father. There is no need to explore his origins. He is here to help us."

After saying that, he took back his crutches, lowered his head slightly and said to Shade:

"Hello, I am Yadlin Siam Nord, an elf from the Moon Creek Clan. I am here to find the Heart of Oasis for the Witch Academy St. Byrons in the far north, in exchange for the powerful Witch Academy protecting our clan. "

She spoke the ancient Elvish language, and as she spoke, she put her left hand between her eyebrows and treated Shade with a very high standard of etiquette. Shade stretched out his hand to support her and did not let the elf mother-in-law bow to him. Judging from the surname "Siam Nord", she is probably Emilia's ancestor.

Of course, the elves living in St. Byrons have not followed Miss Feliana since the beginning of the academy. Even the first librarian, Miss Oranod, the witch of Yellow Moon, who has one-eighth elven blood, is only from the Longleaf Elf clan. The longleaf elves worship the [Silver Moon Sage], which has little to do with the elves who believe in the Tree Father.

Therefore, there should indeed be a story about when Emilia's clan joined St. Byrons.

"Hello, Granny Siam, I am indeed here because of that ancient god. I am Shade Hamilton."

Shade also introduced himself, then bowed slightly and said in ancient Elvish language:

"May the World Tree protect us in infinite time."

The elf mother-in-law avoided his bow and repeated these words seriously, and then motioned to other people in the team to introduce themselves:

"I'm here to vouch for his credibility."

Among this four-person team, this old elf is obviously the most respected one. She is a genuine thirteenth-level witch, stronger than the other three on the surface. Seeing that she had accepted Sha De, although the other three ladies were still confused about Sha De's identity, at least they would not be too wary.

The blue-haired girl smiled and pointed at herself:

"Although I am still in distress and waiting to die, I have encountered more and more interesting things when I went ashore this time. Since Grandma Siam Nord said she can believe you, then I believe you too.

I am Leah Sandel, a mermaid from the outer sea. I also came here to look for the Heart of Oasis as a birthday gift to my father, but obviously I misjudged the danger. I am very satisfied that you did not look at my legs at the first time. "

"I know some knowledge about mermaids. The fairy tale of "Mermaid Princess" describes that mermaids need to cast spells to gain legs when they land. It is incorrect. Although this is rarely done, I know that you can switch your own forms."

Shade replied, Miss Sandel blinked and asked curiously:

"What is the fairy tale you are talking about? If you have time later, can you tell me?"

PS: Shade was not stupid, he saw it.
