Whispering Verse

When his hands touched the falling boulder again, the burn was still there, and the water film didn't provide much help. But Miss Sandel still resisted and did not withdraw her hand, but pushed upward with all her strength. Even if she couldn't stop the stone door from falling, she thought it would be better to slow down the speed of the stone door's descent.

But even she couldn't do this. The sealing method of the ancient earth witch was not something that a mermaid could compete with.

Trying again wasted some time and caused the stone gate to drop to half of its height. When she finally gave up trying and knelt on the ground and looked inside again, although the group of four people behind the door were getting closer, Miss Sandel could also see that they would never catch up.

"give up."

The worried and nervous expression on the beautiful face became more and more intense, and a voice in her heart told her, but all the experiences she had with Granny Siam, Miss Knight, and the mysterious Miss Meister immediately came to her mind again. .

She thought about how she was saved by Siamese mother-in-law, how Miss Knight had been silently doing all kinds of trivial things, and how everyone, including the mysterious Mr. Hamilton, was trying to exchange for the "star" through their own sacrifices. The Heart of the Oasis" was eventually found.

At this time, the complete compass was already in the satchel thrown behind her. Even if she doesn't care about what happens behind the door, it won't affect her getting the treasure.

"Get out of here now and everything will be fine."

New thoughts came to her mind again, but she looked back at the lonely desert illuminated by the moon outside the "mouth". She knew that she would not lose anything by leaving now, but the heat gushing from her chest still prevented her from doing so. .

"What a fool I am."

She quickly turned around and grabbed the package, took out the blood-red [Philosopher's Stone], then picked up the petrified sword that Miss Knight had just thrown to her, and then quickly knelt on one knee under the door.

Hold the [Philosopher's Stone] in your right hand and lift the stone door together with your shoulders. Grab the long sword in your left hand and hold it in front of you.

The unstoppable downward force of the stone door directly crushed her hand bones and shoulders, and the Philosopher's Stone was mixed into the blurred flesh of her shoulders.

puff!

The blue-haired girl vomiting blood took one last look at the surprised people inside the door. Although she didn't know why she made such a choice, and even the fear and fear in her heart were welling up at this time, she still reluctantly walked away. He mouthed the incantation that Miss Knight had said when describing the story to them:

"The power of the earth protects all things!"

Inherited magical power or owned corresponding stone statues - consistent;

High-level alchemical materials for shaping life - conform to;

Belief in ancient gods - consistent with;

Feet on the ground - not consistent. But because of the special characteristics of this insect's body - it fits.

The sound was no longer the sound of Miss Sandel's bones being crushed, but the traces of petrification spreading to the whole body where the stone door came into contact with her body, blocking the falling door leaf, and causing the stone door to make an overwhelming sound.

Centered around her feet, the golden miracle element rising into the sky at this moment almost set the entire giant worm on fire.

The earth responds to the mermaid's sacrifice, and miracles that were otherwise unattainable are awakened by her sacrifice.

Shade even felt a strong sense of weightlessness at this moment. The golden light made him unable to open his eyes. He felt as if he was walking in the void at this moment.

[Outlander, you have sensed a "miracle". 】

[Outlander, you have some insights into "sacrifice", "earth" and "heroes". 】

And when the dazzling aura like the sun disappeared, and little Mia was attracted by the light and stuck her head out, she looked forward and saw that the fallen stone door was stuck two-thirds of the way and was no longer moving. Under the stone gate, there is a stone statue of a mermaid kneeling on one knee, holding a stone sword in her left hand and looking forward with wide eyes, her expression completely frozen in relief and relief.

"The miracle she achieved was to maintain the effect of the seal while the door was open. It seems that the power of this magical spell is not enough to completely destroy the worm's body. Of course, it could also be hers. The soul is not strong enough.”

While Shade, Granny Siam and Miss Knight were speechless in surprise, Miss Meister said softly. But rather than expressing his own opinions, Shade felt that the saint was more like explaining the situation to the three of them.

Shimen is no longer missing, which means that everyone is no longer anxious to move forward. Everything seemed to be over. When the four people supported each other and came to the stone gate, they could pass under the stone gate just by bending down.

But no one did, and Miss Sandel's face faced the inside of the "worm's" body. If you leave here, you will never see her again.

No one spoke, everything seemed to be over, but no one was happy in the depressing atmosphere.

"I was the one who told Miss Sandel about the magic."

Miss Knight said while holding the helmet, while Shade knelt down on one knee in front of the stone statue and touched her left arm with his right hand.

The petrified sword of the ancient knight that she held in her hand was carefully taken out by Shade. After inheriting the "power of the earth and protecting all things" and becoming the material for this spell-casting ceremony, this sword has almost reached the edge of fragmentation and can no longer undertake any tasks.

"I can feel that her soul is still inside the body, just like the ancient knight we met last time."

Shade said softly, stood up and looked serious. This time they were really saved by Miss Sandel, and until now, Shade didn't even know where she came from.

Grandma Siam seemed to know what Shade was thinking, with a sad look on her face that was older than before:

"Actually, I know about her. I rescued her from the sea of ​​sand. Before you all arrived at the temple, she told me her story. Leah Sandel is indeed her real name , but she came here not to look for a birthday gift for her father, but to look for a birthday gift for her mother.”

She choked up and said:

"Things are not that simple. She was born in a huge mermaid community. The old king of the community has aged, and on this birthday, the person who brings the most precious treasure will become the king of the next generation.

Apart from her status as a witch, she does not have any advantage among the many sisters, but if she fails to become the king, her sisters who are also witches will directly execute her. After all, she is one of the few witches in the royal family. "

Grandma Siam Nord did not continue, but both Shade and Miss Knight knew what she meant.

Miss Sandel seems to be always optimistic and treats everyone with enthusiasm. But behind the surface, she also has her own story and her own troubles.

"Go out first. Thanks to the miracle she summoned, we can still come in at any time."

Miss Meister said, Shade nodded, and then everyone bent down and got out from under the stone door.

The moonlight illuminates the boundless sea of ​​sand. The sand that shimmered golden during the "day" stage is now glowing with a silvery light.

This giant bug had indeed moved its position just now. The evidence lies not only in the huge ravine extending into the distance behind it, but also in the fact that the position less than twenty steps in front of the huge human head was familiar to everyone. Temple of the Sun.

After turning around in a circle, he actually returned to the same place. Shade was even stunned for a moment. He took out some more gold jewelry and antiques and threw them to the ground, creating a new camp between the insect's huge head and the temple.

No one said anything about returning to the temple temporarily, and the four of them sat down by the bonfire again.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Granny Siam picked up the bag containing the broken pieces of the compass. After she simply assembled the complete compass, she stood up and walked into the Sun Temple behind everyone with the compass.

Soon, a huge breath of life surged out from the temple. Green light emerged from the window and door. After the light subsided, Grandma Siam Nod walked out holding a green heart-shaped crystal that Shade had never seen before, but she knew what it was at a glance. After placing it by the fire, he sat down again.

The fact that [Heart of the Oasis] is actually in the "Sun Temple" where everyone is located does not surprise anyone, as if everyone feels that this is a matter of course.

And Shade, Miss Knight and Granny Siam Nord were not happy because they found the "Heart of the Oasis", and no one wanted to check it out. This "Heart of Oasis" sacrificed countless people and almost caused them to die in the desert. What exactly is "Heart of Oasis"?

Everyone looked at the flames in front of them silently. Shade suddenly asked Miss Meister amidst the crackling sound:

"Is there any way you can get Miss Sandel back?"

He could only send the petrified soul away, and there was no way to reverse this special state. Besides, this is a dedication to "the earth", and only gods can solve this trouble.

Although there is still divinity in his body, according to the rules of the Time Key, Shade cannot ignite his divinity in the past time. The time ripples caused by mortals can still be smoothed by time, but once the power of the gods appears at a time when it cannot appear, the trouble caused cannot be solved by Shade not being able to use the time key for a few months.

The current method can only let the God of Mist help. If Miss Sandel really dies, he will give up. But her soul is still there and things are not over yet.

The face of the God of Mist looked even more beautiful in the dancing firelight:

"Of course there is a way."

The other three people all looked at her:

"any solution?"

"Didn't you notice? In addition to the abnormal light, abnormal space and time characteristics, this desert will also bring some illusions to outsiders that are both true and not false."

The light brown skin looks more shiny under the light of the night:

"Whether these illusions are real or fake is like lights in the fog. No one can tell unless you get closer."

Xia De's pupils shrank:

"You mean to use the power of illusion to make a lie come true?"
