Whispering Verse

The mystery lock ended, and Shade once again returned to the state of spiritual deprivation he had when he first entered the Night Manor. But fortunately, in this weird space, the recovery speed of the spirit is even faster than the normal state. Of course, this may also be because the fifth era is more suitable for the existence of extraordinary beings.

"I seem to feel that my strength has become stronger."

Shade thought to himself.

[Due to drinking the elemental wine, the effects of the spell-fire and the spell-calling water are enhanced. 】

She gave hints in her ears, Shade nodded, and the witches, old men, and twin girls around them thanked Shade softly. Of course, as the younger sister, the girl in the black dress seemed a little shy, so it was just the girl in the white dress who thanked Shade on her behalf.

The life ring returned to the soul again, and Shade continued to look at the gods on the other side of the long table:

"God, please show me the next blood brew."

"Very good, then the fourth type of blood brew, Turin poisonous bugs. These damn bugs are very annoying. In the long past, I destroyed all their individuals in the material world. This bottle of wine is actually an entire Zerg clan. .”

The cork of the fourth wine bottle popped out automatically, and immediately, the smell of alcohol mixed with the stench spread toward the entire hall. The stench was hard to describe, but it was worse than the smell of garbage and feces that Shad smelled in the alleys of lower Tobesk. However, as the stench poured into his nose, even Xia De, who didn't drink much, smelled an extremely refreshing aroma of wine.

The two flavors are fully mixed together, but can be easily distinguished by the sense of smell. The body is rejecting the stench and wants to get more of the aroma of wine, but every time it inhales, the two flavors rush in at the same time, and every time it exhales, the two flavors are blocked at the same time. This causes the mortals at the table, They all fell into a weird state where they couldn't control their breathing.

Outsiders in the Sixth Age had not heard of the name "The Turin Worm", but the witch had obviously heard of it. After the introduction of the blood-sucking god was completed, she hesitated and signaled that she wanted to drink with the god.

Because of the blessing of the mysterious lock just now, and because he still had the detoxification spell, Shade thought about it and agreed. The armored old man followed closely and once again took out an exquisite silver bottle containing a potion, probably a magic potion. He also wanted to drink with the god. As for the twins, they finally nodded.

"Very nice. This is the first time for everyone here to drink together. I'm looking forward to your tasting my collection."

So this bottle of blood wine, which was scarlet with some dark green in it, was divided evenly among six cups. Probably because there were a lot of people who needed to divide it this time, the liquid in each cup only lightly covered the bottom of the cup. . While the wine bottle automatically filled each goblet with wine, the witch carefully prepared the antidote potion. The old man was anxiously holding the silver bottle that could only take one sip. Shade put the potion in his pocket. The toys were reduced to a pile of branches piled at his feet - he had broken them casually on Xikal Mountain. The most indispensable thing in the city near the mountain was wood.

The saint shook his wine glass, and as his eyes moved, huge mental pressure pressed on everyone in turn. The body He used was that of a middle-aged man with a resolute face. Judging from the matching of clothing, the owner of the body should also be a very high noble. According to the information found by Shade, when the old god [Vampire Duke Loair] descends in the form of a saint, he always likes to use the identity of a noble.

Seeing that several others were hesitantly picking up their wine glasses but refusing to drink, Shade took the first sip.

As a very small amount of alcohol entered his throat, he felt that the entire line from his mouth to his stomach was numb. I opened my mouth to speak, but found that my tongue seemed to be swollen:

"How am I doing now?"

He asked the old man on his left. The gods had given people in the fifth era the ability to understand Shade's words. However, because his tongue was swollen, it took the old man some time to understand what Shade meant:

"The lips are purple and there are some blue scars on the face. Typical symptoms of poisoning."

"A little better than I thought."

Because at least he was still conscious.

Putting down the wine glass temporarily, Shade bent down and grabbed two branches from the ground, and placed his free left hand on his heart:

"Elf's detoxification technique."

Emerald green light appeared in the palm of his left hand, then turned into a point of light and entered Shade's chest. He clearly felt that his tongue was swollen, but the branch he held in his right hand turned black little by little, until it completely turned into burnt charcoal.

"The detoxification technique is also useful."

Xia De felt happy and continued to drink a sip of wine to remove the poison. Obviously he could drink the liquid in one gulp, but it took him a full two minutes to finish it.

At the same time, everyone else also moved. The witch was different from Shade. She first drank the potion she prepared on the spot, and then immediately drank the blood brew.

Bang~

She collapsed on the table almost immediately, startling the twin girls next to her. After ten seconds, the middle-aged witch in a dark blue dress sat up again with her right hand on the table:

"It is indeed known as the most poisonous insect in the fourth era."

She also had symptoms of a big tongue when speaking, but her face looked normal. Obviously, this witch who lived in the fifth era has a body that is much more resistant to poison than Shade.

After the witch, come the twin girls. The two of them had not prepared anything, and even clinked their glasses with each other before drinking the glass of wine. And like the witch, they drank all the liquid in one gulp. The two held hands, groaned in pain a few times, and then returned to normal.

Shade was greatly surprised. The witch sitting next to the girl even asked:

"If we all make it out alive, would you be interested in becoming my students?"

In the end, only the gray-haired old man was left. Probably because the silver bottle in his hand contained too little potion, he did not take a sip of the blood brew or a sip of the potion. Instead, he frowned and drank the blood brew. , immediately drank the magic potion in the silver bottle in his hand.

But obviously, his potion is not as powerful as the witch's potion, and his body is even less powerful than the witch's. Therefore, even though he drank the antidote potion in time, he still immediately grabbed his throat, and there seemed to be purple gas under his skin rushing to his whole head, and he made a strange sound of "uh~uh~" from his mouth. If it weren't for the mysterious lock protection that Shade had just given, he would most likely have been killed on the spot.

"Elf's detoxification technique."

Because the old man was on his left, Shade reached out and grabbed his hand, and then used a spell to help. This was very effective. The purple gas on the old man's face slowly faded away. Although his face still showed that he was in pain, at least his life was no longer in danger:

"Thanks."

Shade could barely make out the word because his tongue was swollen.

Shade shook his head and said it was nothing, but the old man thought about it and actually put his hand into the pocket hanging on his waist, and then handed Shade a ring.

Shade's eyes widened slightly, and he saw that the ring was brass-colored, and the surface of the ring was a rectangle made of simple black iron, with slightly convex edges around it, and the pattern inside the rectangle was also slightly convex.

This is both a ring and a seal. This is an ancient metal seal ring, and the seal pattern is very familiar to Shade:

"Demon hunting seal?"

He also had an identical ring, but he didn't expect to encounter a second one in the fifth era. But he couldn't bring the extraordinary items from the Fifth Age into his own time, so he shook his head and refused. The negative characteristic of this relic is just to attract demons, which is not a big deal to Shade. If he encountered it in the Sixth Era, he actually wouldn't mind having a second one.

The fourth blood brew has been finished. So far, Shade and the Witch have each drank it twice, while the girls and the gray-haired old man have drank it once. But the old man could only drink it twice because of the permission of the vampire god, so except for the girls, the other three people could choose one of the remaining six bottles of blood brew.

Even Shade got a chance to be exempted because he brought the blood of Priest Augustus that contained the power of the "Angel of Death". Therefore, for him, there is actually nothing to worry about the second use of the key in 3014 of the Fifth Era.

[It seems that according to your theory, people who think this way will not end well. 】

She whispered softly into Shade's ear, followed by a chuckle.

"Don't curse me."

Shade responded.

"The fifth blood brew comes from the demons of the third era. It was an interesting era. The demons even dared to propose deals to the gods. So, I stuffed the individual known as the 'Blood Demon' into the wine bottle, and added I bought some mint and raspberries, and then stored them in the subspace closest to the sun for a full 3,000 years before I had the fifth bottle of wine. Therefore, this bottle of wine is not only delicious but will never be exhausted. Even because it is too close to the sun, And the temperature was high.”

The Saint continued, and as His words fell, the cork popped open automatically.

The hot air rushed toward the ceiling, which had turned blood red at some point, and then followed the ceiling toward the entire room. Blood mist surged out, and the teeth hanging from the crystal chandelier quickly turned yellow. Heat waves rolled in. The hot feeling even made the twin girls scream in surprise.

Shade even heard the devil's begging for mercy coming from the bottle, but it was obvious that the god ignored it.

He took a sharp breath, sucked all the blood mist into his lungs, and then showed an intoxicated expression, without wasting a single bit:

"Does anyone want to give it a try? By drinking this bottle of wine, you can not only gain the power related to blood, but you can even touch the power of the sun. That is an ancient god."

He paused and did not continue, while Shade and the Witch shook their heads.

“Cherish your soul and keep away from evil spirits.”

Shade whispered. The middle-aged witch glanced at him unexpectedly and responded in a low voice:

"Sir, a big man I know also said this."

"Miss Myrna Feliana?"

"Yes, you know her too?"

"If you can get out alive and remember me, then you can go to Miss Feliana and tell me that I have appeared. She is a very generous person and should give you a gift."

Shade whispered, it seems that 12 years after the last time they met in Fifth Era 3002, Miss Feliana's reputation has become very great.
