Whispering Verse

Chapter 2412 The Unknown in the Catacombs

"Everyone is very busy here, and I don't like anyone to serve me. And it's different from the fifth era now, and they don't have that much power anymore."

Shade in front explained this, while the girl behind him snorted:

"You can always look back if you don't get it, but you don't know how to cherish what you get. The pair of red butterfly sisters who were protected by Miss Feliana came first, and I came second. Do the witches of this era... Don’t you have any sense of crisis? Luvia told me, those butterflies have climbed onto your bed, but they haven’t reflected on their so-called modesty?”

The intensity of hugging Shade's waist slightly increased, and Shade realized that this was one of the few times the two of them were alone together after Miss Elisa recognized him.

But before expressing his apology, he thought of another thing:

"How did you know that Helen and Grace had met Miss Feliana? Because this is their past privacy, I remember I didn't tell many people."

He originally just asked casually, thinking that Grace and Helen had communicated with her when they were summoned by Shade because they were restless on the "border of life and death" that day. Unexpectedly, the blue-eyed girl immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking. .

Shade, who was holding the reins, was surprised for a moment, and then asked incredulously:

"Wait a minute, I have a strange guess. Miss Feliana, Miss Olanold and Fiona, the witches in the early days of St. Byrons, lived around 3002; and I witnessed it in the Sunless Sea When the story of your birth began, it was already the year 5180.

There has been more than two thousand years of separation, which is longer than the entire Sixth Age to the present. Have you ever met Miss Feliana? "

The girl behind just pressed her body firmly against Shade's back:

"Your smell has really not changed at all compared to when it was in the Sunless Sea."

"So you have really met Miss Feliana!"

The first time is a question, the second time is an affirmation.

"Really, why are you so smart?"

The girl who is both a boat and a dragon complained softly, but did not avoid the topic:

"Shade, do you know? We are definitely not the only ones who are searching for you up and down this endless river of time."

This is already the answer. Shade has known for a long time that Miss Feliananna is trying to find herself using the "Time and Space Dragon" characteristics that Fiona obtained in "Eternal Night City", and in the "Black Mist Camp" and Shade He also succeeded twice when trying to use "Poetry Cards" to communicate with Miss Feliana in the Witch Council.

Because of the gap between eras and the impact of the shattered time and space caused by the long-haired Luvia between the Fifth Era and the "present world and the Sixth Era", communication between the Fifth Era and the Sixth Era is much more difficult than time communication within the Fifth Era. many.

Therefore, perhaps those demigod witches who once had a profound relationship with Shade have really been connected with each other and are looking towards the Sixth Age together.

Of course, it is impossible to judge their progress from Shade's perspective, because to him, everything has already happened, and it is a story in the past.

"The person furthest away from me is Chloe who lived in the early fifth era."

The image of the silver-haired short "Ice Witch" suddenly jumped into his eyes. Shade still remembered that when the two first met in the "Silver Mountains", he helped her complete the road of demigods and reach the top. He also remembered that in the "Lost Forest" "The two hugged each other and experienced an interesting travel story by the campfire.

"I always feel that you are thinking about other girls now."

The voice from behind interrupted Shade's memories of the Fifth Era, and Shade asked:

"Do you know Chloe? Chloe Marcus Marquez, a demigod and a former witch of the Council."

"I've seen her name in books. An ancient demigod who can freeze time and space just by the power of severe cold."

The girl behind said in a low voice, but Shade, who was familiar with using this word game, understood very well that she seemed to have answered the question, but in fact she did not mention at all whether she had seen the silver-haired witch who spanned time and space.

And this kind of side answer also represents the answer. Shade often talks like this.

He did not continue to ask this question. He had been very clear about time and destiny before, and sometimes being too clear about it would make him fall into a trap.

"It's been really hard for you to wait for me alone for so many years."

He just said this, and the girl behind him was obviously relieved:

"I know the story of Grace and Helen. They were the ones who worked hard. I just took a nap and then wandered around for hundreds of years, witnessing the changes in civilization in the Sixth Age. You know, it's about as long as my lifespan." "Bi, this period of time is just a blink of an eye. Although I am different from those humanoid relics with infinite lifespans, my lifespan is much longer than all the dragons in this era."

"Yes, after all, your essence is not a dragon. Although I have said it before, Yi Guanghui, it is really great to be able to see you in the Sixth Age and in the era where I live."

The girl behind did not answer this sentence, but pressed the side of her face tightly against Shade's back. The smile she showed while biting her lip was something Shade couldn't see.

Then, her singing voice came from the wind. The singing voice was very soft, so Shade could only hear the tune. But it sounds like a mermaid in the sea, happily praising the sun in the sunshine.

The horses in the Belindel family farm were indeed excellent. They carried the two people deep into the countryside in the northern part of Moon Bay for more than an hour. They only needed to take a short rest and eat some fodder.

The old family cemetery of the Wright family is on the outskirts of the "Toxic Swamp" in the north of Moon Bay. Of course, the swamp is not actually poisonous, and the internal environment is much simpler than that of the "Pantanal Swamp".

The reason why the old cemetery is far away from the city is because the entire "Toxic Swamp" is the private land of the Wright family. It is the most important asset of the Wright family besides the large number of steam factories in the city.

Although it is the "ancestral land" of the family, it is not very convenient to live far away from the city. Therefore, important figures in the Wright family do not come here very often. Instead, in the autumn, they invite friends and celebrities in the city to hunt and vacation at the manor here.

The family's vast estate here reflects the respectability of the past, but the fact that they are now far inferior to Eddington, Hawthorne and Belinda can be clearly seen on the poorly maintained outer walls of the estate.

The target of Shade and Miss Elisa was not the manor where servants and housekeepers were still active, but the cemetery not far from the manor.

The horse was tied up in a grove, and a spell was used to hide its figure and voice. The two people walking together followed the path extending from the back door of the manor and soon saw the cemetery surrounded by stone pillars and fence walls.

Although it is a family cemetery, the area is not particularly small because of the age of the cemetery.

In the center of the cemetery is the tombkeeper's hut and a small church adjacent to the hut. Surrounding these two buildings are scattered above-ground tombs.

"The Wright family's habit is to place coffins in the underground tomb, so these on the ground are the graves of family members who were not welcomed for various reasons."

Shade took the initiative to introduce, closed his eyes and listened to the heartbeat, and found that although there were two people in the tombkeeper's cabin, their heartbeats were very slow, as if they were sleeping. He couldn't hear the part in the underground tomb, and even "Heart of Stone" couldn't hear it if it was blocked by the soil.

There is a chain on the fence gate of the cemetery. When you open the door, the inside is unremarkable. After arriving outside the window of the tombkeeper's hut, Shade and Miss Elise saw two men in their forties and fifties sitting at the small table. They were lying on the table as if they were asleep. On the table were Wine glasses, refried beans and Rhodes cards were scattered everywhere.

Without even reasoning, Shade could guess what happened:

"The gravekeeper was very bored playing cards with others, and then he passed out while playing."

"Someone came one step ahead of us? How could it be such a coincidence?"

The blue-eyed girl frowned and said, Shade shook his head and took off the [Angel's Right Arm] inserted in the scabbard:

"There's nothing unusual on the ground. Let's go down and take a look."

Of course, the door leading to the huge underground tomb was also locked. When the door opened, a gloomy cold mist floated out, and neither Shade nor Miss Elise took a step forward immediately:

"There's a huge ritual activated inside."

"It's not a modern ritual, it's probably a countermeasure set up by ancient ring magicians to prevent their tombs from being stolen, but"

Shade frowned and felt it:

"The person who set up the ritual was not very strong, and the ritual was too old. Who would fall into this kind of trap?"

Regardless of whether it is a church, a cult or the "Light Worshipers Training Group", those who can participate in the Moon Bay Incident are the elite among the elite.

"Didn't our soothsayer divine who was looking for the scales? Did she say that there was a fifth party that was looking for this thing?"

Miss Elise asked, Shade shook his head:

"I haven't said it before, but her divination skills can't miss it, unless the opponent can't find the dragon scale at all, so the divination will not show the fate. Or, if the opponent has angel-level or angel-level destiny items, they may not be able to completely It can block her divination, unless the opponent has an unknown fate-like relic to cover up his destiny."

Miss Elisa asked curiously:

"There have been enough high-level relics appearing in Yuewan in the past few months. Are they unknown-level, or are they fate-like? It can't be the 'Destiny Base' that the Prophet Association is looking for as you talked about, right? But with this A ring warlock who cultivates high-level relics will be trapped by this tomb-robbery ritual?"

[You know one of Yuewan’s unknown destiny relics. 】

"She" suddenly said in Shade's ear, the gentle voice with a smile inspired Shade to think:

"Yes, that's the original purpose of my coming to Moon Bay."
