Whispering Verse

The fighting may stop immediately, but it may continue for several hours.

Shade, who sensed that this place was dangerous and that he might be taken away by some large-scale attack, now had the idea of ​​​​retreating further away.

He consciously hid himself in the dense forest, looking at the thick fog and thinking about the causes and effects of everything he saw tonight.

After confirming that it was safe, he bent down and hugged the cat and ran towards the depths of the thick fog. Fortunately, the power of divine rituals still remains on this land, so there is no need to worry about encountering evil spirits in the fog.

The thick fog prevented Shade from walking too fast, and he was still thinking about Joey Barton. At about 7:40 pm, Shade, who was hiding in the grass and covered by illusion magic, once again bumped into people running in the fog.

Although the voice was very close, it was not directed at Shade. He ran through the forest ten meters away.

The fog was hazy, but between the leaves, Shade's eyes still caught the sight of a man dressed like a circus clown. He is tall and thin, wearing a red performance costume, and even has a red nose ball hanging on his nose.

Generally speaking, if you see this kind of person in the forest at night, then the other person must be abnormal, but the clown seems to be just an ordinary person.

"Where did he come from? No, it has nothing to do with me. There is no need to go out."

The stranger thought to himself, and carefully put the cat into his arms to prevent it from barking and attracting attention.

Although the man dressed as a clown was an ordinary person, he moved very quickly in the forest and disappeared into the mist after a while.

At the same time, he felt a slight burning sensation in his shoulder. Subconsciously covering his right shoulder, he realized that it was the red butterfly brand that was burning, and that the red butterfly brand actually seemed to be detached from Sha De's shoulder. Sha De spent a lot of effort to press it down. Come down:

"That clown is one of the nails Hazama sent to Middleburg?"

Shade thought in surprise.

This can explain the reason why the [Truth Society] suddenly called away Mr. Barton. Since Joey Barton can see the death dates of others, he can discover those who died in the past.

He did not catch up immediately because there were still sounds in the thick foggy forest.

Tens of seconds later, five or six men in black formal attire caught up, and one of them, Shade, actually recognized him as the [Truth Society] Gao who killed two companions in that deserted village before escaping from Helen. Ring Warlock "Professor Johnson".

The few people around him were dressed in almost the same attire as him, and they all looked like scholars. These people were very fast, moving through the forest like the wind, obviously borrowing extraordinary power.

"People from the [Truth Society]? Are they chasing the clown? Did the clown escape by taking advantage of the Zhengshen Church's encirclement and suppression?"

But Shade still didn't show up, but watched the group of people disappear. Because soon, a third group of people caught up from behind, and this time it was Mr. Button.

He looked extremely embarrassed, and because of his slight disability, he was not moving very fast in the forest. It's hard to say whether the clown or Mr. Button is scarier in the woods at night. With his weird childlike appearance and strange way of walking, normal people would probably turn around and run away when they encountered him.

"Mr. Button actually ran out?"

This scene surprised Shade even more than the appearance of the nails. The situation this afternoon was that the [Truth Society] was ambushed and surrounded by the Orthodox Church. As for Mr. Barton, a first-level warlock, it is really unimaginable that he can reach such an outskirts.

While running, Mr. Barton used thaumaturgy to restore the trampled branches and dead leaves in the forest to their original appearance. Compared with the people in front of him who ran and chased without any scruples, he was more afraid of being discovered.

He was stained with blood, although it was very slight, but it wasn't difficult to track him in the dense forest. Therefore, Shade did not catch up immediately, but weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Squinting slightly and looking into the distance, this time it took a full minute for the fourth group of talents to follow. And this time the visitor was finally the Zhengshen Church.

It was a team full of ring warlocks from the Church of the Sun, and Shade even saw Iluna among them. She wears a women's hunting suit that is convenient for movement, with a large sun-patterned holy emblem hanging on her chest. She holds the [Judge's Holy Bell] in her left hand, the cloth sword wrapped around her wrist, and around her waist is the Fire Worship Festival banquet. Harvest mirror.

The group of people followed the traces on the ground, but because of Mr. Button's cover-up, they were unable to find the direction in the thick fog for a while.

This is not because the first-level warlock's thaumaturgy is very powerful, but because the forest is foggy at night, it is not an easy place to track.

"Iluna has shown up, I have to help."

Thinking in his mind, Shade let go of his right shoulder, which was covered by his left hand. As the burning pain amplified, a red light appeared under the clothes. Then, a transparent red butterfly flew out from under the clothes, its wings fluttered, and scattered red light in the air.

"Go quickly!"

Shade pointed in the direction of Iluna in a low voice, and the red butterfly actually seemed to understand, and flew out of the range of the illusion and flew towards the church group.

"Miss Bayas!"

The full team of the Zhengshen Church has its own operational responsibilities. The ring warlock responsible for searching the direction of travel soon discovered the red shadow in the thick fog. Then the shadow got closer and closer, and coming out of the white mist was a transparent red butterfly.

"Red butterfly?"

The red butterfly stopped not far from them, and then repeatedly zoomed in and out, hoping that they would follow in the fog. But out of caution, the group did not follow immediately, and even Iluna looked a little hesitant.

Shade, who was hiding in the grass, shook his head to dispel the illusion, and then patted little Mia's head gently.

"Meow~"

A slight meow cannot travel very far in the forest, because this is a suburb of the city, so even if someone hears it, it won't be strange.

Iluna's ears twitched, and she looked at the surrounding fog suspiciously, with a look of realization on her face, and then pointed at the red butterfly:

"Follow it, it's leading the way."

Others did not question Iluna's decision, so the group followed the transparent red butterfly away.

"Don't make any noise for a while."

Shade in the shadow behind the tree whispered to the cat in his hand. The squatting little Mia widened her amber eyes and nodded obediently, so Shade put it on his shoulder and confirmed that After finally no one appeared in the fog again, we followed him into the thick fog.

After passing through this private woodland belonging to the local nobles, we came to the lake at the foot of the mountain. Shade had seen this lake on the sand table at the Red Water Camp. The mountain streams originating from the mountain top lake converged at the foot of the mountain to form this lake, and connected to the nearby water system. This lake is called "Lake Bena". One side of the lake is woodland and the other side is two hills.

Perhaps because of the water vapor, the thick fog near the lake has dispersed a lot. You can see the moon at this time, stopping just between the hills, reflecting the three-color moonlight on the lake, making the sparkling waves more textured.

When Shade followed the church group to the lake, the battle had already occurred.

The battle took place on the lake. I don’t know who used thaumaturgy to freeze the lake on a large scale. Everyone was standing on the ice at this moment, and the two sides fighting were actually the ordinary clown and the three members of the [Truth Society]. Famous Ring Warlock.

"Hehehehehaha."

The deranged laughter became clearer and clearer as Shad approached the edge of the woodland. The clown was still not a ring warlock, but the concentration of the whispering element in him far exceeded most of the relics Shad had seen.

On the lake under the moon, he smiled maniacally, and his shadow gradually faded until it disappeared. Two extra hands stretched out from behind, and the four hands held Rhodes cards, a red nose ball, a black short knife and an old-fashioned matchlock gun.

The crazy laughter even caused cracks to appear on the ice, and with the laughter, his figure under the moon continued to disappear and appear. This was actually the ability to move in space.

Shade didn't fight him head-on, so he couldn't judge how dangerous he was. However, even though the ring magicians of the [Truth Society] had revealed their life rings, they were still suppressed and beaten by the opponent. Of course, this is also related to their level.

Only two of them are in the middle ring, and the others are in the low ring. And the professor who was originally Gao Huan actually had red butterfly-like rust on his brass life ring. Apparently, Helen let him run away without worrying about what other trouble he might get into.

The Rhodes cards in the Joker's hand seemed to be endless, scattering in all directions like continuous machine guns. No one dared to touch the cards with cursed power. Once the thrown nose ball touches an object, it will collapse like a puzzle of building blocks; the black short knife is extremely sharp, not only can it throw out a black blade, it can even cut off the spiritual weapon in the hand of a high-level warlock ; And the old matchlock gun was even more exaggerated. Although it took more than 20 seconds to fire a shot, once it was fired, cracks appeared in the space.

"It turns out that the 'nail' who knows his identity is so scary."

Shade was very lucky that the woman in the deserted village was caught before she could show her power. And considering that the fewer the number of nails, the stronger the strength of the remaining nails, I am afraid that things will be more difficult in the future.

Iluna and her group had followed Hongdie to the lake, and of course the people on the lake noticed them.

They didn't even use the three people from the [Truth Society] to lead the clown to them, and the clown actually split up under the moon. The flesh swelled, and then entangled in the disgusting black mucus, two identical clowns separated from the swollen body, one on the left and the other on the right.

One person continued to fight the [Truth Society], and another person appeared next to Iluna while laughing maniacally:

"You are all going to die!"

The holy bell rang softly, and Iluna responded with a sunshine gun.

The scene became more and more chaotic, and the clown seemed to be able to adjust his power according to the number of opponents he had. Even if one person faced the entire team of ring warlocks, he still did not fall behind.
