Whispering Verse

Chapter 2644 Night Song Elf

A hoarse old voice came from under the black robe transformed by the black mist:

"A tear of repentance, a little warmth of the soul."

After saying that, two blank cards flew in front of Shade, and Shade asked hesitantly:

"Well is that all?"

"You just paid."

It turns out that the "change" is here.

Ms. Bullock also heard the conversation between Shade and the boatman, so when the two returned to the campfire, she immediately asked:

"You want to go and see what broke that key right now, don't you?"

"Yes, my stay time is running out. It's better to set off immediately while there is still some time, so that I can continue to think of solutions later."

The thirteenth-level witch regained her composure and nodded in agreement. She turned to explain the plan to the still depressed Miss McConaughey, while Shade approached Mr. Nelson:

"Look, that lady doesn't want to leave here anymore."

He smiled and said:

"When we find your wife, I will be confident in persuading her to stay."

Mr. Nelson nodded slightly. Compared to those who came here because they wanted to leave, he, a man who came here just to wait for someone, was actually the most emotionally stable:

"But please promise me one thing? If she, if she really doesn't want to stay, at least, please don't stop us from leaving together."

Shade didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder. Now it seems that the possibility of waiting for Mr. Nelson's wife this time is not high. These matters will have to wait until the last time of this key to solve them.

The crackling sound of the campfire easily mixed with the sound of the tide to create an even stronger sense of loneliness. The cat curled up in Shade's arms and looked at the flames. The two witches on the side had also completed communication.

It can be seen that the young girl was quite scared to return to the "past", but in the end Ms. Bullock convinced her.

The two blank cards were quickly put into the appropriate "tickets". The tears of repentance and the warmth of the soul were all provided by the young girl. After all, this was her business.

So they said goodbye to Mr. Nelson again, and the three of them came to the black trestle together. After handing over the ticket, the boat rocked and set off again.

The empty and strange boundless black water obviously had a greater impact on Ms. McConaughey than Ms. Bullock. Soon after setting off the boat, she had to curl up in the witch's arms and tremble.

The thirteenth-level witch didn't pay much attention, but took the initiative to pat her back as a comfort.

The three people in the boat had little communication, because the boat soon sailed into the thick fog. The boat in the fog gradually became stable, and a dazzling white light actually appeared in front of the fog.

When the white light surrounded the three people on the boat, they realized that the boat had arrived in daytime.

The chirping of birds sounded from all around, and the sound of gurgling water had nothing to do with the terrifying loneliness of the black water. The vibrant surroundings made the people trapped on the dockside take a deep breath. When they looked around, the boat was clearly going upstream in a river flowing through the forest.

The speed of the boat is not very fast, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the forest. This is a primitive forest land that has not yet been touched by intelligent life. There are no artificial traces on either side of the river bank. Judging from the temperature, this should be the turn of spring and summer, the most comfortable season of the year.

"right here!"

The girl with a ponytail said tremblingly, pointing to the east bank of the river:

"Here it is, it's coming!"

The boat had stopped in the middle of the fast river, and at the same time as Miss McConaughey's words fell, a panicked figure suddenly rushed from the woods to the river beach. That was of course Miss McConaughey.

She couldn't see the boat in the middle of the river and the three people on it. She came to the river beach in panic and rushed towards the river quickly.

Behind her, the trees were turning black and dry in large numbers, as if their vitality had been drained. Shade and Ms. Bullock both stood up and looked carefully, but what they saw was a black fog floating out of the forest.

"What's this?"

Neither of them could see clearly if there was anything else in the rolling black fog, but with its appearance, even the surrounding sunlight became much dimmer.

Miss McConaughey, who was running for her life on the river beach, accidentally tripped and fell there. When she struggled to stand up, she found that the thick fog that appeared on the ground at an unknown time made her feet completely unable to move.

Then the black mist enveloped her, and the young witch could only throw a spell at it. The talisman was swallowed by the black mist, and then brilliant sunlight burst out from it.

"This is the charm given to me by my teacher's friend when he visited me."

The shivering girl on the boat explained softly.

The black mist retreated, allowing Miss McConaughey to stand up and stumble towards the river in front of her again.

But suddenly a black ray shot out of the fog and hit her back straight. This scene made both Shade and Ms. Bullock serious. They both felt the familiar power from the black ray.

??????55.??????

This blow did not kill Miss McConaughey. People in the river heard a clear cracking sound, and then a translucent crystal shield unfolded on her back.

But even though the ray was blocked, the young girl still screamed and was knocked away. She fell straight into the river and lost sight of her in a few moments of floating and sinking.

Miss McConaughey underwater drifted down the river, while the black mist on the shore lingered at the water's edge for a short time before returning to the forest. The boat in the center of the river started again and continued to sail upstream of the river.

Miss McConaughey on the boat saw the two people who had stood up sat down again, and told them what happened next:

"It was a week later when I woke up again, and the elves living in this forest saved me.

They said that I was affected by an instant-death spell similar to the 'Finger of Death'. Although they didn't know what method was used to weaken the damage, it still almost killed me on the spot. "

"Have those elves ever said what you encountered?"

Shade asked, and the still frightened young girl nodded;

"They said it was a terrible monster living in this forest. It was the enemy of the forest, but it didn't like water. So if they encountered that thing while patrolling the forest, they would cast spells to summon rain or hide themselves in water balls. I was so weak when I woke up that I couldn't even chew hard things and could only eat liquid food. I lived in the settlement of those Nightsong elves for two months before I recovered, and I never dared to go near that forest again."

"Nightsong Elf?"

Shade has knowledge about "elves" and knows that the "Nightsong Elves" and the "Longleaf Elves" to which one-eighth of Miss Olanold's elf blood belongs are both elf clans that worship the moon god; and Emilia belongs to The "Moon Creek Clan" and Miss Danister's grandmother's "Wind Chaser Clan" are elves who believe in the Tree Father.

Thick fog had already appeared on the river in front of the rocking boat. They were returning, and Ms. Bullock asked Shade:

"Did you feel something just now? That black light is not a simple death-killing secret technique, it is a more ancient and primitive death."

Shade also nodded slightly. Of course he was familiar with that kind of power:

"It is very similar to the power of the original angel - the angel of death, Gakel."

But he is not 100% sure of this:

"I have been in contact with the power of the original angel of death, but we were so far away just now, I can't be sure of this."

"So can the key still be repaired?"

The young girl who huddled up because the ship entered the foggy area asked in a low voice. Shade nodded:

"I will go elsewhere to find the answer. Nightsong Elf and Death Angel seem to have something to do again."

But at this moment, the boat suddenly stopped in the thick fog. When Shade looked at the boatman, he handed him the oar again. Shade stood up and took up the job of boatman again.

Although it just kept moving forward without a map, the swaying boat quickly returned from the thick fog to the black waters with only the sound of the tide. Because this time it was just to observe what happened in the past, so the journey took longer than It was much faster to go see the nun in front of Ming Yue just now.

When the boat stopped smoothly at the Black Sand Pier, there were actually only a few minutes left for the journey to end.

Shade put little Mia on his shoulders, and after getting off the boat with the two ladies, he turned around and asked the boatman:

"If I want to take these people, oh, and maybe one or two more people, back to the real world, how many tickets will it cost? This time it's a one-way ticket."

The next time is the last adventure. Shade needs to send all the people here back, so he must be prepared in advance.

The tall boatman, who was more than two and a half meters tall, stood at the stern of the boat and extended his pale right hand in his sleeve to Shade. The fingers are exceptionally long and slender, and the knuckles are very thick.

Not wanting to show Shade anything, but just shaking that hand:

"No ticket required."

"Why?"

Shade asked uneasily. He never liked things that cost nothing.

"Boatman" did not answer:

"You'll understand then."

"So they can go back, right?"

He asked again worriedly, and after receiving a positive answer, he followed the two anxious witches back to the bonfire.

When Mr. Nelson by the fire saw that everyone had returned, he nodded to Shade with some restraint, and then continued to shrink away from the witches. Ms. Bullock and Ms. McConaughey both sat down by the fire, and then saw Shade still standing there:

"I will try to find the Nightsong elves. Of course, angels are also the focus of the investigation. If I can't find clues, I will bring the Philosopher's Stone with me the next time I come and use the Philosopher's Stone to cast a powerful spell to turn back time." Maybe the key can be restored.”
