Whispering Verse

Looking at this oil painting of the temple from the outside, the temple itself is not big, so the room in front of you should be the only room in the temple.

The inner rooms of this ancient temple are still illuminated by the green light of those vines, and the great witch in a gorgeous dress is currently confronting a man with a hooked nose. The life rings of both people were all revealed. The life ring behind Miss Sylvia was ten rings, while the life ring behind the man was nine rings.

Although there were no signs of injury on the surface of the great witch, and even no scratches could be seen on her skirt, the life ring behind her was firmly locked by the vines clinging to the wall. Dozens of vines wrapped around the life ring from all directions. , the spiritual runes on the life ring flashed faintly.

And the man with blue eyes and a hooked nose is now controlling the temple, and the life ring behind him is rotating normally. But his condition was worse. His face was pale, his chest was heaving violently while he was breathing heavily, and his left arm, which had been chopped off by a sharp weapon, fell aside.

Although the blasphemous element exuded by that terrifying plant statue was not as good as the real statue of the evil god, it still made Shade dare not look directly at it. When Miss Sylvia saw Shade appearing here, she immediately spoke to stop him from moving forward:

"Don't come in! This is the Pantanal Temple, a subspace transmitted through thaumaturgy created by Pantanal's original beliefs. These vines will imprison all power. Now I am temporarily trapped, but this The man is also locked in this space by me. Find a way to shoot flames from the outside and burn the statue. After burning it, we can get out."

"I didn't expect that I was originally hired to prevent the worst case scenario from happening. I didn't expect that there is actually a high-level warlock here. Madam, who are you?"

The man also spoke with an unrecognizable Kasenlik accent, and looked at the woman in front of him with wide eyes and unwillingness:

"Who are you? Why is there a high-level magician around Margaret Anjou? The church provides protection for the royal family, but doesn't it also prohibit the royal family from having free contact with unofficial magicians?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but you are definitely dead."

Miss Sylvia was obviously in a bad mood and turned to look at Shade:

"Do it quickly."

"Don't be delusional. The light of the Pantanal shines here, and the flames have no effect!"

"The flames are useless?"

Shade asked back, speaking quickly:

"Madam, Her Highness is missing. We need to find her as soon as possible. I think throwing fireballs from outside may not be useful. These vines are too flexible. I have to get close to the statue to burn it."

"But these plants"

Miss Sylvia knew that Shade only had four rings, and the power of space was suppressed here, which was not enough to allow him to take a single step towards the terrifying plant statue on the high platform deep in the room.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Shade took a deep breath, and under the gaze of the two people in the room, he took steps to enter the room.

The green light illuminated Shade's face, and the roar of the huge whistle and bell almost broke the eardrums of the other two people in an instant. The black shadow of the life ring, shining with dazzling auras of four colors, slowly emerged in the scorching steam. It rotated rapidly, as if coming from the depths of the steam to his back.

At this time, all the life rings of the three people in the room appeared. They were obviously brass rings, but in comparison, Shade's life rings seemed so different.

But before Miss Sylvia and the man with the hooked nose could figure out the difference between Shade's life rings, the surrounding vines shot like arrows, and in an instant the ropes were wrapped around him. The life ring of the four-ring warlock.

The high-temperature brass ring tried to break free from the tied vines, but the speed of rotation was still gradually slowing down.

Shade was still walking inward, and the vines were also crawling along the floor towards him, trying to wrap him in it like a cocoon.

Shade's eyes stared at the terrifying plant god statue, and the power flowing in his body boiled under the stimulation of the evil object:

"May the original fire"

A slender flame appeared in the palm of his right hand that had not yet been bound. According to Sister Devlin's teachings, Shade clenched his palm violently. The flame was completely crushed, and splashing sparks adhered to the skin, and the first flame appeared on the back of his hand. A fiery red crack:

"Bless me."

"What!"

In the surprised expression of the hook-nosed man, the vines completely wrapped Shade. But the next moment, golden cracks appeared on the surface of the green "cocoon", and as the flames exploded, burning vine fragments splashed around.

Shade, who was resurfaced, continued to move forward. The cracks spread from the back of his right hand to his entire body, and the fiery red residue seemed to ignite him in an instant.

The explosive flames dragged back, and then slowly subsided, and at this moment, Shade's whole body was covered with fiery red cracks. Sparks fluttered at the hem of his clothes, and beneath his raised steps, fiery red footprints were left on the ground.

The fiery red cracks on the surface of the body also extended to the life ring. The first fire directly ignited the green plants, and the life ring resumed its rotation. In just a few breaths, the entire wall of the room was ablaze.

Dazzling firelight surrounded the three people. The man was speechless. He could not understand what was going on. Miss Sylvia looked at Shade in confusion. She had seen Sister Devlin in the parliament. Naturally, Know about the first fire.

The life ring rotates at high speed, protecting Shade from the influence of the strange statue.

In the firelight, he stepped up to the high platform step by step and faced the plant statue that seemed to be wriggling:

"There is no god named 'Pantanal' in the Pantanal area, so what the Voodoo Society believes in is actually an evil thing sealed in the Everglades?"

Although this power is very similar to that of a god, Shade, who has transformed into a god twice, is quite sure that the other party is definitely not a god.

He stretched out his hand towards the plant statue, without even touching it. The residue from his fingertips instantly ignited the entire statue.

ya~

The ear-piercing screams came from very far away, and the moment of instinctive fear almost made Shade punch forward. Suddenly, he saw the statue in front of him, which was composed of various plant fragments, wrapped around his hand. But if he looked carefully, it was clear that the burning statue had not moved.

He suddenly turned his head. An indescribable terrifying giant made of various plant remains in the void was staring at him from a height behind him. In the extreme fear that made Shade's heart almost jump out of his throat, that The shadow of the giant thing disappeared in the blink of an eye.

[Outlander, you have some insights into "plants". 】

A voice whispered in his ear, and everything around him gradually faded in the firelight, and the plant statues gradually turned into ashes.

Shade, who was panting heavily, probably understood that what he just saw was the so-called "Pantanar Evil". Although he does not have divinity to support his soul now, fortunately, the other party is not an evil god, so the impact on him is just the fear at that moment.

"but"

Shade looked around again. When he set the statue on fire, he clearly felt that the first fire was waiting to burn the statue itself. In other words, the "Pantanal Evil" is what Sister Devlin is looking for, the fuel that can make the original fire stronger.

The "primordial fire" does not burn anything and become strong. Only a few special beings are qualified. And obviously, "The Evil of the Pantanal" qualifies.

As the flames burned away the surrounding area, the view from the second floor corridor of Rothschild Manor gradually returned, and the stench and rotten smell also dissipated.

Looking at Miss Sylvia again, when the vines surrounding the life ring disappeared, she just waved her hand, and the head of the hook-nosed nine-ring warlock fell to the ground. Then he grabbed it forward, and the transparent soul was caught in the hands of the obviously angry witch:

"Where?"

The tone was extremely stern, and the white right hand squeezed hard, and at least one third of the soul was shattered. The soul howling in pain was transforming into an evil spirit, but it could not hurt this beautiful lady at all. The witch's free left hand tapped lightly, and as the gray-white light stimulated the soul, the tendency to transform into an evil spirit was abruptly stopped.

"Where is Margaret? You only have one chance, otherwise, burn forever in the 'Eternal Lamp of the Soul'."

"On the roof! On the roof!"

"What kind of knowledge will the Truth Society use to trade with you so that you can help plan today's conspiracy?"

"I do not know I do not know!"

"Um?"

"Possible location of the Heart of the Pantanal!"

Soul said loudly, and then was thrown aside by Miss Sylvia, about to burst completely.

Shade casually drew a black crack and let the soul fly in as if fleeing for its life:

“What is the Heart of the Pantanal?”

"According to legend, it is the only remaining body of one of the terrifying evil things sealed underground in the Pantanal."

Miss Sylvia said, Shade nodded, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with him for the time being, and did not ask any more questions:

"There are four floors here. We need to get to the top of the building as soon as possible. We just wasted too much time."

"Don't worry, they will never dare to attack Margaret, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble. Now I will take you to fly up directly."

Miss Sylvia's left hand held Shade's right hand, and with a touch of her right hand, their height, weight, appearance and clothing immediately changed. The right hand then lifted up the hem of the skirt, revealing the right foot wearing red high heels. He kicked the corpse with his right foot, and the corpse and head were kicked into the open black space crack, completely disappearing into the material world.

Miss Sylvia pulled Shade towards the window. The window that Shade had closed opened automatically, and the night breeze caused the curtains to flutter up and down.

"Do you really have the 'Eternal Soul Lamp'? That terrifying sage-level relic?"

Shade asked in a low voice. The witch pursed her lips and turned to look at him. On her beautiful face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and then she answered softly:

"What do you think?"
