Whispering Verse

Chapter 2961 [Tears of the Farewell]

Blood dripped into the ink, and the brush wrote the stranger's real name in Chinese characters on the paper. The familiar name illuminated by the tree canopy above his head made Shade stunned for a second, and he realized that this was the first time he had written this name with this body since he came to this world for so long.

He shook his head to cheer himself up, then folded the paper with the written name into the shape of a star, pressed it on his forehead, and finally burned it to ashes, dissolved the ashes in the potion and drank it. He closed his eyes and meditated on his own appearance in his mind. Perhaps because he had already done it once, the ritual process this time was smoother than the last time.

Almost the next second after Shade closed his eyes, "she" gently gave a reminder:

[Stranger, your magic "Treasures" has added a second name that can take effect. 】

There were no other effects, but Shade did not immediately explore. He took out his Rhodes deck again and drew the top common card "Moon 2".

First, he wiped off the name written by Qianqian, and then wrote the real name of his hometown. Finally, he wrote the message he wanted to convey on the blank space of the card. Fortunately, ordinary cards do not have fancy cards, and the blank area on the card is large, so it can be written.

After doing all this, he carefully felt that it seemed that there was not much difference in the control effect of the item after signing two different names.

Xia De kissed the card, then raised his hand and threw it in the direction of the building entrance. The rotating card flew straight out, and Xia De closed his eyes to control its flight trajectory. When he opened his eyes, he was sure that the card had reached its destination.

"That's it."

So he continued to hold the "trunk" and looked at the glowing crack in front of him again. He felt that something was watching him behind the crack. This feeling of being watched was very slight, but it was definitely not an illusion.

The church and the college responded quickly. Ten minutes after Xia De conveyed the message with the card, he heard heavy footsteps. I thought someone was coming, but when I turned around, I saw a suit of armor with extremely complex golden ritual patterns on its surface.

Shade had never seen such a complex divine imprint. The complexity of this ritual even exceeded the rituals collected by the Church of Dawn to balance the stability of time. But even so, the armor was still emitting particles all over its body while walking.

It finally took only two steps in the dark building and fell to the ground with a crash. Immediately, the metal on its body quickly corroded into a pile of unrecognizable things.

Shade, holding the staff, waved his left hand, and the card he had just sent flew out from the rusty metal wreckage. However, even with Shade's signature, the card had now turned yellow and was unusable.

Shade's handwritten pencil mark had been erased, and now Vanessa's handwriting was written on it with new content:

[We have received your report. The church is preparing to dispatch an unknowable relic for assistance. The relic is expected to arrive in two hours, and the church and the academy are also looking for ways to communicate with you at any time. 】

The owl, the small contact mark that Shade had discussed with her when he left the camp, was drawn on the back to prove that the words were indeed written by Vanessa.

"Two hours?"

He wrote the words on the yellowed card again and sent it out, and then had a premonition that he would probably miss dinner time.

Shade thought that he had gradually adapted to the environment of the doomsday, and with the protection of the magic effect, he should be able to hold on for a long time in front of this crack, but the fact is that as time goes by, the discomfort is becoming more and more intense.

The environment in front of the crack is certainly not enough to compare with the real doomsday, but even without the wind and sand, the power leaking from the crack is genuine from the end of the world.

The flow of spirit in the soul gradually became sticky, and the dizziness even directly affected the stability of the magic, but fortunately, the [Staff of Yggdrasil] is worthy of being an angel-level relic. In the dizziness and nausea, Shade even missed the real doomsday in the past life. After all, no matter how bad his condition was there, there would always be that blonde lady waiting for him.

[Adele Isabella will be here tomorrow. Actually, there are people waiting for you here. ]

"She" said with a smile, and Shade complained a little:

"Don't make fun of me at this time."

A clear cracking sound came, and the originally long and thin crack extended upward again by about half a palm length. So the feeling of the end of the world became clearer and more obvious. Even the shadow of the lush tree that appeared due to the magic effect shook a few times. Shade clearly felt that something was wrong:

"How did the Witch Emperor deal with this crack back then? Was the crack back then much shorter than this?"

[Maybe, you can find something to temporarily block the crack. ]

"She" continued to give suggestions.

"But what to block? Any material that belongs to the end of the world will be destroyed by the power of the end of the world, unless I go home and remove a few bricks that can last until the end of the world. Wait, in addition to the bricks and floor tiles of Saint Teresa Square, I seem to have other things."

Shade's left hand reached into his pocket again, and this time he still took out a stack of cards. Only this time it’s not the Rhodes Card, but the [Disaster Card]. Although no new cards were obtained in the recent Doomsday Journey, the six previous adventures have brought the harvest of six cards.

The essence of these playing cards are actually sealed terrifying evil objects from the doomsday era. It was only because of the effect of [The Rod of Uggdrasil] and the power of the Tree Father that they turned into playing cards after being defeated by Shade. .

Therefore, they will never be affected by the power of the doomsday, because they belong to the doomsday, and nothing will happen to Shade even if he holds them in the real doomsday, not to mention that he only has a little power now.

Of course, in order to prevent other accidents, such as the cards falling into the other side of the gap or the evil things inside the cards being released directly, Shade signed his name and felt it before letting the six cards fly out of his hand. And "sticked" to the slender crack.

Although they were not enough to completely "block" the crack, after the dim yellow light at the other end of the crack weakened, Shade felt that his condition immediately improved a lot:

"So the meaning of the black time key is to collect as many monsters from the doomsday as possible, and then use these controllable evil cards as roadblocks to block the passage between the present world and the doomsday?"

He even had the time to think about it.

The note from Vanessa said that the church would have to prepare for two hours before sending the strictly contained relics from the Holy See. But in fact, Shade only waited for an hour and a half, and the yellowed and damaged Rhodes card was sent in with a new armor. This time the content on it was very simple:

[The relics are already in place. Currently, only Iluna Beas can approach your location. Please reply to your current status. If the status allows, the church will start delivering the relics five minutes after receiving the reply. 】

So the cards flew out again, and Iluna walked for a full twenty minutes from the camp at the entrance of the canyon to the black stone building.

When Shade saw the eighteen-year-old girl, she was holding her scale in one hand and a wooden box in the other, and walked out of the darkness at the door of the building with difficulty.

Iluna's face was pale, and her condition was obviously very bad. But she raised her head and glanced at Shade, gritted her teeth and continued to move forward step by step. The light overflowing from the dark golden scale almost formed a transparent protective shell around her body.

Shade could not leave the crack in front of the high platform to greet her, and could only watch her approach slowly. And when Iluna finally walked into the illusory tree shadow created by the "stability principle of ancient elves", because the pressure suddenly lightened, she almost fell into Shade's arms:

"Sorry, I'm late."

The two of them did not exchange too many pleasantries. Iluna sat directly at Shade's feet to rest regardless of her appearance, and the box in her hand was given to Shade:

"Let's try this. This is also the first time I know about this relic. It is a collection of the Peace Church. The unknowable relic [The Tears of the Farewell] is specially used to heal those cracked things. Legend has it that this relic is They were tears shed by a god, but I didn’t see more information because it was unnecessary.

When I got it, I was just warned not to let it get into my eyes. The way to use it was to splash it directly onto cracked or split things. "

She said in a weak tone, and after she finished speaking, she even leaned directly on Shade's legs. She didn't even have the strength to sit up straight.

Although Shade was worried about Iluna's situation, he also knew that it was most important to control the rift first:

"What if this doesn't work? If the agnostic-level relic can close this crack, there is no reason why the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Age should not try it."

"We can only give it a try. The opinion of the church and the college is that this relic can at least shrink the cracks you described and restore it to a state that can be contained. Although the door of this building is damaged, it should be repairable."

The mahogany box is lined with red silk, and a thumb-sized crystal bottle is embedded in the lining. Although this crystal bottle is in the shape of a bottle, it does not have a real bottle mouth. In other words, there are no gaps or interfaces on the crystal surface.

The surface of the crystal reflects emerald green light, and Shade can't see clearly what color the liquid inside is, but the powerful whispering element can be sensed immediately after taking it out of the box.

But compared with the power from the doomsday leaked from the crack in front of him, even the power of the unknown relic no longer seems so powerful.
