Whispering Verse

Chapter 2777 Hunter’s inheritance

"What happened to you?"

Only then did the nun ask, so Shade, who was a little nervous just now, looked back at the soul on the boat that was gradually turning from completely transparent to color, and then quickly explained that he was chasing clues today and met in the deserted village. Things about sage-level relics and demons:

"That ghost of resentment now possesses the power of both a demon and a sage-level relic [Remaining Resentment], and it seems that the demon of fire, Dezast, also put the first fire he devoured into this clone."

Shade finally concluded:

"In short, this is a difficult nun opponent to deal with. We need to wait until we have confirmed all the clones of the demon before we can take action.

My witcher friends think it divides itself into at most four parts now, and I've confirmed two. Therefore, now is not a good time to take action. "

He fully believed that if he hadn't said these words, Sister Devlin would have returned to the real world to deal with that thing right now. Although Shade was at a disadvantage when fighting the resentful ghost, Sister Devlin is the twelve-ring Death Chosen One, and her fire resistance is much higher than Shade, so she can perfectly restrain the opponent. of all power.

The nun with the mithril eyepatch nodded slightly, and then Shade told her about the recent events related to the chosen ones, especially the "War of Time".

But the nun didn't react at all. She just nodded to show that she understood. This was her usual behavior.

Finally, Shade asked the reason why the nun appeared here. Sister Devlin did not hide her purpose:

"Understand death. I can't help with the matter in Vesta Grove. The Paradox Bug is not affected by death. I need to refine my power."

She spoke without speaking at all, and her voice had an echoing effect.

The witch on the ship showed an expression of awe, and Shade asked with concern:

"So you've been here since we last parted in the woodland? Are you okay being here?"

Although she is the chosen one of death, she is also alive.

"It's okay around the fire."

The nun who bowed her head slightly said:

"Since there is no immediate need to deal with that demon, I will continue to stay here. Please feel free to call me when needed."

"No problem, Sister, but you'd better not stay here all the time. This is just a suggestion, not an order. Then I'll deal with this matter first, hoping there will be clues."

After saying that, Shade turned to look at Flora. The latter was a little confused and didn't know what Shade meant. Seeing that Shade pointed at the soul on the ship, she realized that Shade wanted her to ask about the soul.

In fact, since Sister Devlin is here, it might be faster to let Sister Devlin do this. But since Shade had asked Flora from the beginning, he naturally wouldn't change people midway.

Of course the witch herself understood this truth, and she also knew very well that the nun standing on the shore also understood it. So she felt a little happy in her heart. After making sure that the silent nun had no intention of suddenly taking action, she cast a spell on the old woman who was gradually filled with milky white light:

"Thumbology - Guide to Death."

Shade also had this thaumaturgy, and after Flora cast the spell, the soul regained some consciousness, and then tremblingly he walked off the boat on his own initiative.

She disembarked from the end of the boat close to the water. When she stood on the water like the departing souls in the distance, a long sigh of relief came:

"Finally, it's over."

The black flame burning in the soul disappeared silently, and the whispering elements gradually melted into the light of the dark moon.

The soul of the old woman who was lost in the disaster a hundred years ago regained her consciousness, and a tired look appeared on her originally expressionless face. After being stunned for a moment, she looked at the three people on and off the boat:

"Thank you. Young people, which one of you has a [Demon Hunting Seal] in your hand?"

This question really surprised the three of them, or at least Shade and Flora. The soul of this old country man showed that she was definitely an ordinary person during her lifetime, but thinking that she was the only soul that really existed and asked Shade for help, Shade quickly found the black iron ring:

"I do, do you need this?"

He handed the ring to the old man standing on the water at the bow of the boat. This was also part of the test, but fortunately the other party did not react abnormally after touching the ring.

She held the ring in her hand and handed it back to Shade after a moment, then sighed again:

"I've seen a ring like this before."

This meant telling a story, so Xia De cooperated and asked:

"when?"

“In the autumn of 1689 in the Universal Calendar, it was the first rest day after the Moon Dance Festival that year. The young people working in the woods all returned to the village, preparing to go to the town to prepare supplies for the winter.

That night, strange travelers came hurriedly from the forest and wanted to spend the night with us. In the end, it was me who made the decision and lent him the stable where the collective horses are raised in the village. He claimed to be a hunter from afar, looking for and chasing a terrible prey, and he wore such a ring on his hand. He didn't stay too long. He helped clean up the stables early the next morning and thanked us before leaving the village for Ximu Town. "

It sounds like someone came for the devil a century and a half ago.

“Three days after the hunter left, at night, the young men returning from the town brought back the terrible thing, and a fire broke out in the village.

The flames were going to devour everything in the village, houses, houses, livestock, and souls. The hunter arrived at the last moment. He's a professional, he's trying to defeat that evil spirit, that fire monster, that damn beast."

The old woman's soul said this expressionlessly, while Flora finished the second half of the sentence for her:

"The hunter failed, right? He failed to defeat the demon? I didn't know that even in the sixth era, there were still people chasing demons. I originally thought that everyone would only think about demons when they encountered them. Way to fight.”

"No, I guess he didn't completely fail."

Shade also said:

"Did he summon that relic [Leaving Resentment]?"

The old woman who told the story in a hoarse voice nodded. Shade guessed that she should be the village chief's wife or something like that:

"He failed to defeat the evil ghost, but he protected me in the end. I don't understand the power of powerful people like you. I only remember that he said that he would use his soul as a sacrifice to summon a 'relic' to seal the evil spirit. thing.

He told me that He kept my soul from being lost in those flames. But I have to do him a favor. After a long time, someone will definitely break into the fire that burned the village again, and there will definitely be someone who wants to deal with that demon. If someone is willing to rescue me at that time, and that person also has the [Demon Hunting Seal], let me give this to him. "

"What?"

The old woman reached behind her and took out a page of parchment with burnt edges - Shade didn't know where she took it out. She handed the page to Shade, then bowed slightly to the three of them, then turned around and stepped on the dark water, bathing in the light of the dark moon and walking towards the depths of the water.

Gradually, her soul stood together with those souls that had also left, and they could no longer be distinguished.

Flora did not call her, but looked at her back on the boat;

"Stories about death are always so resonant with people's souls. Just now I was wondering why the devil would use this relic to limit his power. It turns out that someone sealed it. Although it was not completely successful, it was just like the three Just like the "ranging hunters" a hundred years ago, their achievements are enough to be sung to the next era. "

"But we don't even know his name."

Shade said, looking at the parchment in his hand. With the Chosen One and the Witch standing next to him in death, he was not worried about leaking information, so he directly read the above content:

[Later, I was passing through the Vesta Grove and accidentally noticed the traces of the demon of fire, Dizast, who was supposed to be sealed. It has been found out that it used unknown means to break free of the seal, and discovered my identity during the chase with me.

I will use my last resort to try to defeat it, and if you see this parchment, then at least the worst has not happened yet. I will tell you the legend and skills of Dizast, the demon of fire, and tell you how to defeat it. I hope that those who come after you can succeed.

Side note: The devil's collaborators in Ximu Town are related to local herbal medicine vendors. 】

Behind this sentence was a seal pattern of [Demon Hunting Seal]. When Shade's fingers touched the pattern, a complete message automatically appeared in his mind.

That complete message contained detailed information about the "Fire Demon-Dizast" and past legends. Some of the details were even more detailed than what the doctor told.

And the following part of the information is——

[Outlander, the inheritance of the "Demon Hunter" is detected]

[Holding the "Demon Hunting Seal", you are qualified; you have mastered at least one hunter's technique, "Seeing Demons", and you are qualified; you have been cursed by at least one ancient evil spirit, you are qualified; you have been recognized by other hunters, and the Night Watch recognizes you. ,qualified. 】

Shade's life ring then appeared silently in front of the dark moon, and the cold and holy moonlight illuminated every spiritual rune on the brass ring.

Sister Devlin and Flora both raised their heads to look. The huge life ring seemed to echo the half-calm moon at the end of the water. This scene is silent but has a sense of divinity and power. What Shade pays attention to is not the life ring, but the prompting voice given by "her":

[Outlander, you have obtained the "remaining advice" of thaumaturgy. When you encounter evil demons that have been fought by witchers, you can get some hints from past hunters. Corresponding to the "Echo" spiritual rune, you need to wear the "Demon Hunting Seal" to perform thaumaturgy. 】

Then "she" said rarely:

[This is one of the few ways to pass on experience and wisdom in an era when intelligent beings were fearful and intimidated. 】
