Whispering Verse

Chapter 2421 Fog Bridge and Strangers

"If there is even justice"

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Shade interrupted her again and looked into the blonde maid's eyes again:

"Justice is not absolute, so we don't know whether our actions are correct. But that doesn't matter. As long as we have a clear conscience and strive to be the light that guides more people, we can call ourselves righteous."

"Do you think you are righteous?"

She thought for a moment, and there was something inexplicable in her eyes.

"Of course I am not just. Justice is too heavy. But at least for now, [Eternal Light] appears to be just. I admire their ideals, but as for their practices, I will not comment."

He smiled at Matilda again, but he didn't see the blush on his cheeks that was covered by his hanging hair.

"Justice is pale and cold, but our souls are hot. There is no point in pursuing justice deliberately. It is enough to understand the truth, be consistent in words and deeds, not bully the weak, and reach out to help others appropriately."

He continued to look at the building of the Opera House, and the blonde maid standing behind him nodded slightly. For a moment, she felt as if she understood what her master saw in the man in front of her.

Although the opera house has a back entrance, Mr. Lean and Mr. Ronan both walked out of the front entrance in casual clothes after changing from their white robes.

They first walked eastward along the street in front of the Opera House. After two intersections, Mr. Lean, an ordinary person, left in a carriage, while Mr. Ronan continued walking eastward.

Under the cover of thick luminous fog and illusion, Shade and Matilda followed him from a distance. This gentleman with the sixth ring did not go around in circles, but kept moving forward with a clear goal. Soon he arrived at the Tatton River, then headed south along the riverside streets, and walked onto the bridge deck at the entrance of the yet-to-be-completed Moon Bay Bridge.

Although it is Wednesday afternoon, due to the thick fog, the Yuewan Bridge has been temporarily suspended, and there is no one on the bridge at this time.

Although they were confused about what he wanted to do, Shade and Matilda followed him.

The bridge deck has not yet been closed, so of course Mr. Ronan cannot walk all the way to the other side of the bridge. So after the gentleman who belonged to [Eternal Light] stepped into the bridge, he followed the scaffolding used by the workers for construction and climbed to the upper level of the bridge as nimbly as an ape.

"Can you fly?"

Shade asked in a low voice to the girl beside him, who shook her head slightly:

"Same as Miss."

There is approximately 141 feet (about 43 meters) between the upper and lower levels of the Yuewan Bridge. This distance has exceeded the current 20m limit of Raglay's jump.

But this didn't bother Xia De. They stood there and watched the six-ring warlock ascend to the upper level of the bridge. Then Xia De motioned to the girl next to him to hug him:

"You must not let go, this is no joke."

After just a moment of hesitation, the maid reached out and hugged Shade's waist face to face. Even though she knew it was nothing, she still felt her heart beating rapidly at this moment.

The memory of that night that often appeared in her dreams recently came to mind again. The maid's face turned red as if it was on fire. She was worried that Shade would notice something strange about her, but Shade was just hesitant about whether to tell her or not. It means asking her to hug him from behind:

"Forget it, that's it."

"Weather vane bluegrass" extract dripped on the tip of the tongue, and then threw out the frog legs. He put one arm around Matilda's waist and threw the cards upward with the other. After bending down slightly, he suddenly kicked off and jumped upwards as if flying.

Squint your eyes and stare at a higher place, estimate the distance and then take a step forward in the air:

"Raglai's jump!"

The two people appeared out of thin air twenty meters above their heads. They stepped on the cards they had just thrown up and jumped forward. Then they stood firmly on the upper level of the bridge.

He took the initiative to let go of the hand holding the girl in a very gentlemanly manner, while Matilda took a moment to remember to let go of Shade.

She took a step to the side, and then saw Shade raising his left hand. A card flew out of the fog and was caught in Shade's hand. He said to the blonde girl who was still blushing:

"Let's go and see what Mr. Ronan wants to do."

The thick luminous white fog not only blocked the view of Mr. Ronan who was walking in front, but also blocked the view of Sha De and his two men. Fortunately, Shade relied on the clerical relic [Crow's Eye] harvested in the crow's nest after hunting demons, and was able to barely see through the fog and see Mr. Ronan's figure still ahead.

Compared with the lower level of the bridge, which is nearly completed, the upper level of the bridge with dense scaffolding on the sides obviously still has a lot of work to do. However, due to construction requirements, the upper and lower levels of the bridge extend the same distance on the west bank of the Taton River.

Walking on the steel plates under his feet made a very rhythmic sound. Mr. Ronan didn't walk for long before he stopped at the end of the bridge.

The blurry figure stopped moving in the fog, but Shade suddenly raised his hand to stop Matilda beside him:

"There's a second person."

Another figure appeared next to Mr. Ronan without warning. The fog blocked Shade's appearance completely, and the newly appeared ring warlock obviously saw their figure:

"You two, it's enough to follow you here. I don't know what your plans are, but don't follow any further."

The sound was so vague that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Shade took a small step forward, guarding the maid behind him, and stared at the new figure:

"Our plan has been successful. Look, haven't you already shown up?"

"Do you know who I am?"

The blurry figure asked, and Shade shook his head slightly:

"Of course I don't know, but since Mr. Ronan, a priest, is asking for help, you obviously occupy a more central position in [Eternal Light]. Speaking of which, can you tell us how we were discovered? ?”

"If you can tell us the identities of the two of you, I certainly wouldn't mind solving your doubts."

The blurry figure asked, Shade's eyes were gradually getting used to the heavy fog. He glanced at the little bat symbol floating above the figure's head - this ability came directly from the vampire god's extremely high priority. After a moment of hesitation, he put his hand into his pocket, and then took out a handful that was absolutely useless. May put a long sword in it.

The surface of the long sword is densely covered with dragon scale patterns. This is the "dragon scale long sword" that Shade carried the night he followed Miss Belindel out of the city and met the werewolf. The long sword has been strengthened with dragon scale coins in the [Earth Furnace]. Although it is not as good as the relic, it is still a top alchemical weapon.

The blurry figure at the edge of the bridge also noticed Shade taking out the weapon, so after the figure nodded slightly, he also reached out and grabbed a trace of blood from the fog:

"That's fine, you won't admit defeat without a fight. No matter which side you two belong to, I will not kill you. [Eternal Light] has no intention of getting involved in the major events that this city is about to face, so if you lose Well, don’t investigate us.”

He waved his hand to Mr. Ronan not to participate, and then said to the two Shade:

"You guys come together."

Although the tone was loud, as the bells and whistles rang out from the thick fog, the life ring floating behind the figure actually looked like it was only at the level of six or seven rings.

The glowing mist was so thick that Shade couldn't even see clearly what the spiritual runes belonging to him were.

The blurry figure then disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared just now, but this was not a spatial movement. Having lost the opponent's figure, he also lost the trace of the little bat symbol above his head. Shade, who fully let go of his senses, raised his right foot and stepped on the bridge. He used the "Space Stabilizing Halo" first, and then his eyes caught a trace of blood coming from his right side. Side chop.

The blood stains in the vast fog were as conspicuous as ink. Shade did not use the long sword in his right hand to catch it hard. He slashed the bloody moonlight with his left hand and collided with the blood stains. Then he pulled Matilda back up and appeared. Twenty meters away.

And where they originally stood, three stabbing spears transformed into pure white light pierced out from under the bridge. And as the three stabbing spears dispersed into light spots and merged into the fog, the light in the stirred thick fog seemed to be drawn away, until it converged into that glowing blurry figure.

"Illusion? Clone?"

The blonde maid asked softly, her six-ring life ring already appearing behind her. At this distance, Shade also saw that the life ring behind the figure twenty meters away was also six rings, but the life ring was not made of brass, but made of pure white light.

"I am not sure as well."

Shade replied, there was still a small bat symbol floating above the figure's head, so at least it wasn't an illusion.

"Be careful yourself."

"Yes Master."

He was a little surprised by the answer, but he didn't care to think about it at this time.

With a flick of his left hand, the chain of sin shot out from his sleeve into the dense fog ahead like a long snake. The figure obviously didn't want to come into contact with the chain. The figure once again dispersed the light and merged into the fog, and then appeared directly next to Sha De.

The bloody light in the hand of the blurry luminous figure has obvious whispering elements, but it is impossible to see clearly because of the light. The blood light collided with Shade's long sword. With Shade's strength dominant, cracks appeared on the surface of the dragon scale sword.

He didn't have time to complain that he didn't have the opportunity to bring out a holy sword on today's occasion. He flicked the chain with his free left hand and swept it across, but the radiant figure dispersed again and avoided the chain. After he reappeared on Shade's side, he struck with another sword. This time, the dragon scale sword broke into two pieces with a cracking sound.

The tip of the sword swirled and flew towards the bottom of the bridge, and Shade, who disappeared on the spot, also avoided the sharp edge of the bloody light. He appeared from behind the glowing figure and stabbed his opponent in the back with his blood-colored moonlight dagger.

The dagger successfully hit the target, but when the moonlight entered his body, Shade actually felt that part of the power of his spiritual weapon was absorbed, and then the dagger shattered like glass.
