Whispering Verse

Probably because Sister Devlin had already eliminated all the enemies in the corridor on this side in advance, so although the burning corridor caused some obstacles to Shade's walking, Shade did not encounter any more enemies as he continued walking.

The wine cellar is in the basement, and the door leading to the basement is locked. On the black iron door, there are fantastic images of giant beasts eating people and humans eating giant beasts.

When Shade reached out and wanted to use the [Door Key] to open the door, the pattern on the door actually twisted and turned into a huge human face:

"Give me all your gluttony and I'll let you pass."

The buzzing sound followed the vibration of the iron door, forming an unclear sound.

"Full gluttony? No, that's not okay."

Shade shook his head and reached out to touch the door, but a huge force pushed him directly back.

"If you don't give me the sin, you can't even think about it."

The face became ferocious.

"All this gluttony is too much, let's change the situation."

"Good food, good food that makes me happy."

Shade thought for a while, then put his hand into his pocket and took out a small pendant for a wine bottle. After restoring the pendant, it was found to be fruit wine made using the spell of [Blood Wine Brewing].

“Would drinks be okay?”

He shook the container in his hand, and the ferocious human face opened its mouth, but inside the empty mouth was not a staircase leading to the basement, but a darkness that could not see the face.

Shade, who is proficient in space power, can feel that there is another space behind this.

So he threw the wine bottle in his hand, and the crack closed. The ugly and twisted human face on the door let out a long sigh:

"Oh, this is really good, very tasteful fruit wine."

The sound of springs, pistons and gears came from inside the iron door. As steam spurted out from the cracks in the door, the door was opened. That's why Shade saw that the door was about as thick as three red bricks.

"You go over there."

The face on the door hummed, and the ferocious face softened, and even looked a little cute:

"However, there are guests of the owner in the wine cellar now, so you'd better be careful."

"Thanks."

Shade said softly and stepped into the basement.

The entire Sin Mansion has now been steamed and gasified, so although the light is not very strong, there are indeed gas lamps on the walls of the underground wine cellar.

The wine cellar here is very similar to the wine cellar under the Aurora Mansion, except that it is divided into upper and lower floors. Wine barrels are used to store wine on the upper level, and there are taps on each barrel, which can be accessed at any time to confirm the fermentation status of the red wine. On the lower floor are rows of shelves, with bottles of wine that are obviously very expensive.

The two floors are roughly rectangular, and there is a patio in the center of the upper floor. You can lie down on the fence to see what the lower floor looks like. The two floors are connected by copper-colored elevators at four corners. The elevators here are very unscientific, because even if there is no miniaturized steam engine, you can still raise and lower the elevator by pressing the button in the center of the elevator.

The aroma of the wine is so fragrant that it makes you feel drunk after taking one sip, and it further stimulates the desire to "gluttony". There was a growling sound in his stomach, but Shade remembered that he had eaten a lot in the morning:

"I'll go out to talk to Sister Devlin later. You can treat her to a meal. The Mentongues restaurant where the priest invited me last time is a good one. I wonder if the nun can appreciate the fruit wine I've brewed."

Thinking of all the messy things in his mind, Shade walked down the stairs at the door and formally entered the wine cellar.

But the first thing he noticed was not the wine barrels, but the blue halo that was constantly swaying on the ceiling above the patio.

"Um?"

Then I heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the lower level of the wine cellar under the patio, and then I realized that the halo on the ceiling was the water pattern of the lower pool.

But looking at the area of ​​those haloes, the pool on the lower level is actually as big as the entire patio. Moreover, to form such a halo, there must be a light source under the water.

"[Sin Mansion] actually built a swimming pool in a wine cellar? Could it be that red wine was poured into the pool? What kind of sin is this? Is it a waste of food?"

Although he was very curious, Shade did not get close to the upper fence to observe what was in the lower pool. He was worried that he would see something he shouldn't see.

Turning around to look for the elevator to the southeast, the trader just told him the approximate location of the secret passage. It was up to Shade to find the specific way to go.

[Outlander, you feel the "whisper". 】

"I know, I am inside the relic now, and there are whisper elements everywhere here."

Shade replied in his heart, the moonlight lighting up his fingertips illuminating the surroundings, and he wondered what the iron picks placed next to the wine barrel were for.

Then, he heard "her" gentle laughter:

[No, this means that you feel a stronger whisper element. 】

"More powerful than [Sin Mansion] itself?"

He frowned slightly and looked around.

[Yes, and you have encountered the whispering element of this characteristic before. This can be regarded as your old friend. 】

The word "old friend" immediately reminded Shade of Luvia's divination before departure.

[Yes, her divination is very accurate. 】

"Wait a minute, I originally thought the so-called 'old friends' were Grace and Helen. Did I guess wrong? The old friends are actually"

There was the sound of water rising from the lower level, as if someone was swimming in the pool.

Shade opened his mouth slightly and turned towards the patio with unusually slow movements.

His pupils shrank, and he saw that the halo reflected on the ceiling above the patio became increasingly chaotic.

In the blue wave light, a shadow gradually grew larger and became clearer. As the seductive laughter came from below, Shade seemed to feel that his blood was on fire.

The shadow did not have the shape of a human being at all. In the chaotic and disordered light and shadow, a mermaid with a human body and a fish tail could be seen.

He heard laughter, but not the familiar laughter in his ears, but the laughter coming from the pool below. The laughter is as refreshing as the crisp sound of wind chimes, and it is also like a cold drink in the hot summer, refreshing people's hearts. Even the severe headache that the Sin Mansion gave Shade was relieved a lot.

But instead of making Shade happy, it immediately gave him goosebumps on his arms. The [Gluttony] that was amplified by the smell of wine was indeed suppressed, but another extreme emotion came up.

He realized who the so-called "old friend" was, and he would never forget this laughter.

A hoarse voice came from below the patio. Although "it" and Shade did not look directly at each other, Shade could feel that the other person was looking at him through a layer of ground:

"Look, let me just say, we will definitely meet again."

He subconsciously retreated, but realized that it would be impossible to escape even if he retreated. He breathed heavily, suppressing his violent heartbeat and calming his body's restlessness. Then he slowly walked to the edge of the patio and looked at the square pool below from the fence.

Those beautiful, seductive purple eyes, like Luvia's, happened to look right at Shade.

The gurgling sound of water seems to indicate that this is a sight of living water, and the inexplicable light makes the underwater part completely invisible. All Shade could see was a woman's head looking up in the pool. It is difficult to use specific words to describe a woman's appearance, because even the most beautiful witch Shade has ever seen is far inferior to the appearance of this face.

"Indescribable" usually refers to those strange scenes that are beyond the scope of human description, and this face has reached the level of "indescribable" because of its excessive beauty. He fully believed that no matter how different the aesthetics of all things in the world were, there would be no creature that would not be fascinated by this face the first moment it saw it.

It raised its head in the pool, and the face that could make even the most determined ascetic become addicted looked at Shade above. Its white arms stretched out from under the pool, sending an invitation to him:

"Interesting souls, please come closer.

"【desire】."

What was in the pool was the level 0 relic [Desire] that Shade encountered under the Aurora Mansion in Coldwater Port. Two months later, without any preparation, Shade met him again:

"Can Fort Midhill be a little more outrageous?"

He stood looking up at the face and listened to the invitation in the husky voice. Even after experiencing so many things, when he saw her again, the primitive desire rising in Shade's heart was still close to losing control. Compared with [Desire], the negative emotions evoked by [Sin Mansion] are not worth mentioning at all.

The secret passage is on the lower level, and Shade can't escape even if he wants to. What's more, Shade has no doubt that the other party has the power to wipe out the entire Sin Mansion in an instant. You must know that the entire narrow space of life and death plus three death passages can be completely rated as level 0.

Along with the sound of rushing water, she was singing, using the language of the Fifth Age and her hoarse voice, singing about the love story between the expeditionary sergeant and the waiting girl:

"My beloved,

When I stand at the intersection full of rosemary,

Please don’t forget me.”

This was calling Shade down.

Taking a deep breath to adjust his rapid breathing, Shade used the elevator on the wall to go from the upper level of the wine cellar to the lower level, and passed through the dense wine storage shelves to the open space in the center of the shelves. Above the open space is the patio, and in the open space is the square swimming pool.

In the pool was the head of a woman whose beauty surpassed human imagination. She sang the last verse of that little poem and "swam" from the center of the pool to the edge of the pool. Just like last time, the head was above the water, but the smooth shoulders could not be seen. Then, a fair arm stretched out from the right side, with milky complexion and delicate skin texture, which even gave Shade the urge to rush up and take a bite.

"Are you so afraid of me?"

She smiled and asked Shade, who was standing ten meters away from the edge of the pool. The stranger shook his head:

"It's because you're too charming."

A smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her voice was so beautiful:

"Look, when a little boy turns into a real man, he even talks nicer. I don't know which girl is so lucky."
