While Iluna faced Lykins Priscia in the ruins of Stonehenge, Shad, who chose the right path at the fork, passed the library maze and entered the darkness, snow and fog alone.
Against the wind, he walked along the upward slope, and countless black shadows lingered in the dead forest in the darkness. At this time, the Pantanal Voodoo Society and its allies had already dispersed their people everywhere, and no one appeared to stop Xia De under the tower, but the monsters on the island who became more and more crazy because of the power of evil did not. recede.
They peeped at Xia De in the dark, and when Xia De walked halfway up the uphill road, a ghoul with green mushrooms growing on its back and a mummy pierced by vines into the sky spirit cap sprang out simultaneously.
"Silver Moon!"
The moonlight at the fingertips illuminated the path of the dry forest in the wind and snow, and the monsters surrounding Xia De were not intimidated by Iluna's skeleton horse. Even though they were frightened by the moonlight, they still refused to leave.
Touching his waist with his left hand, he took out the "ebony pistol" with only the last devil bullet left. Closing her eyes and standing still, "she" quickly found the most powerful individual among the pairs of tawny eyes in the dead forest:
[Left, yes, this is it. 】
There was no sound when the trigger was pulled. The doctor's pistol shattered due to the demon's power, and the demon's bullet flew out, piercing through the leader of the mutated ghoul at the moment of darkness.
The monsters retreated quickly, and Xia De also quickly ran towards the old lighthouse at the end of the road in the snow.
There is a wooden door under the lighthouse, and it is not locked. But as soon as Xia De pushed open the door and let the wind and snow of the island penetrate into the tower, he saw the man with the black suitcase, looking at him in the dark:
"How do mortals maintain eternal beauty?"
The question was asked directly, Xia De took a step back subconsciously, but when he heard the voices of ghouls behind him, he gritted his teeth and entered the lighthouse and closed the door:
"Keeper?"
He didn't know what the humanoid relic in front of him was, but he was familiar with various types of humanoid relics of the Keeper recently, and he could still tell that it was the Keeper.
Suddenly startled:
"Wait, before I left home, Luvia said that there is something useful to me at the bottom of this tower, doesn't it just mean..."
Thinking of this, he frowned again. He was vaguely in the basement of the lighthouse under his feet, and felt a very familiar and wonderful power. That is the weak fluctuation of miracle elements that can only be noticed after feeling similar power and using it many times:
"In the basement of this lighthouse, there is actually a hidden space that hides the statue of the ancient god?! Luvia said, could it be this? (Note
Although I was shocked, this was not the time to go home after all. Facing the secret keeper carrying a black suitcase, Xia De took out the "Secret of Immortality" borrowed from Miss Galina and showed it:
"Eternal beauty? There is relevant knowledge in this book."
The keeper shook his head lightly:
"There is indeed a secret about 'eternal beauty' in this book, but you need to show it, the book in your hand is just a shell."
This shows that Xia De is right. This book is definitely not as simple as he imagined, but he still doesn't know what the witches of the Fifth Era are hiding in this book:
"Gods can maintain eternal beauty."
So Xia De replied again, but the keeper still shook his head:
"Say the method that mortals can achieve."
Xia De shook his head and said that he didn't know the answer, so he gave up this test. Fortunately, he didn't need more wise man's pyroxene.
He still remembered what he had to do, found the stairs, and walked along the old metal steps in the tower to the upper floor of the tower. But the secret keeper followed behind him, Xia De looked back at him, said nothing, and continued to walk up.
The light of the "prime fire" can only be seen by those who have the power of the primordial fire like Sister Shad and Sister Devlin. In fact, there is only a huge kerosene lamp that has been extinguished on the top of the lighthouse (Note), and it is used to move the direction of light and magnify the light lens group. The rusted and broken iron fence surrounded the top of the lighthouse. Although there was still the spire of the lighthouse, the wind still sent heavy snow into the top floor.
This is almost the highest point of the entire island in the middle of the lake. Looking around from the top of the lighthouse, thick fog is scattered all over the island, and under the thick fog are the fighting figures of the church ring warlocks.
At this time, at least four thirteen-ring warlocks had arrived on the island, but all of them were in other directions of the island, fighting with those weird things. Xia De has seen the power of the thirteen-ring warlock more than once, but the thirteen-ring is still only a human being. Even if he can suppress those ancient evils, it is impossible to defeat them easily.
In particular, this is not the home of the church.
The lighthouses of the old era used kerosene lamps as light sources, and the person in charge of the lighthouse manually operated the clockwork to rotate the lens system that concentrated the light. Presumably the Pantanal voodoo will use this quite often, so while the lighthouse is out at this time, the kerosene lamps and metal contraptions are still functional.
Shad ignited the huge kerosene lamp with a flame, and some dazzling light immediately illuminated the top floor of the lighthouse. This light should not spread far in the fog tonight, but at least Iluna in Stonehenge can probably see it.
The "Original Flame" was sealed on the top of the tower, but he didn't know how to summon the flame, let alone take it away now that the evil thing was about to be unsealed. So, in the manner Sister Devlin taught, Shad stretched out a hand toward the central light source and closed his eyes.
Sensing the warm power of Chuhuo in my heart, a cluster of very familiar bright flames gradually appeared in the dark field of vision after closing my eyes. The flame core of the flame is a standard black circle, and a slender orange-red flame tail is drawn upwards.
Following Xia De's induction, the flame absorbed Xia De's own strength, trying to maintain itself. Xia De opened his eyes to look at the dazzling light source, and could vaguely see the phantom of the original flame in the deepest part of the fire.
In this state, he couldn't even use long-range throwing thaumaturgy such as "thunder gun" to help Iluna, not only because he had to concentrate on stabilizing the fire source, but also because the distance was too far.
Overlooking the open space between the dry forest and the lighthouse hillside from a height, the fires of Stonehenge are connected together, like a standard fire ring. Lykins Priscia floating in the snow and Iruna on the ground were as tiny as ants.
"This time, I really became an audience."
Xia De sighed softly in his heart:
"I don't know where Sister Devlin is now."
I continued to think about it in my heart, and counted down the ceremony for Rakins Priscia to hold the chosen one. Out of the corner of the eye, I saw a flash of light from Stonehenge, and with a muffled bang, the [Arrow of Aikenora Knowledge] flew over and nailed it to a pillar beside it. The arrow was completely dead. After entering the interior of the pillar, the arrow tail is still buzzing and vibrating:
"Iluna's shots are really accurate. I remember that she also learned the spell to assist aiming for [Sunshine Gun]... Sure enough, this arrow alone still can't defeat him."
He took off the arrow nailed to the pillar with his left hand, carefully put it into the quiver, and then saw the secret keeper standing aside. His sense of presence was very low, and he didn't speak a word.
"Sorry, why are you following me?"
Xia De asked, and the man carrying the black suitcase replied in awkward ancient Chinese:
"I am a tower keeper. In human cognition, I will test those who enter the ancient tower, and then give them knowledge. However, I am also willing to help those noble people who voluntarily sacrificed and fell from the tower. Have you ever Fall from the Tower, so I can give you some knowledge you want, even if you can't answer my questions."
"Have I fallen from the tower? And sacrificed?"
Shade pointed at himself hesitantly, and then inexplicably thought that in the autumn, when the chosen one of death, Joey Barton, used [Vientiane Impermanence·Death] to divination him, he thought that he was ten months ago in the spring of 1853. , has died under the tower.
At that time, I thought it was a mistake in divination, but I didn't expect to hear a similar statement now:
"On what tower did I fall?"
He was puzzled by this. There was no such experience in the past of this body investigated by the academy. Grace and Helen, who have been waiting for the Shad since the fifth era, have also investigated the past of this body, and there is no mention of any "towers".
"I can only give you knowledge, I cannot go back to your history."
The tower keeper continued to say that the language he used was the language of the Fifth Epoch, which was not difficult for Shad, who was proficient in ancient languages:
"You're going to give me knowledge... sorry, let me think about it..."
He kept pointing his right hand at the light source, and tried to ask:
"Why do cherubs reside in the physical world?"
Xia De has not forgotten that "the fourth ring of the Goddess of the Lake Trial~www.mtlnovel.com~ that represents a drop of divinity. But he doesn't hold out much hope, after all, even the gods of the Fifth Era declined to answer the question.
The tower guard nodded slightly:
"I can give you the answer."
"What?"
Xia De raised his head suddenly, he could hardly believe his ears. This was probably the thing that shocked him the most since tonight, and he had to confirm again:
"Do you know why cherubs reside in the physical world?"
"All the secret human relics know, because this is our past."
The man carrying the black suitcase looked at Xia De with a calm expression:
"As long as you ask, we will tell you that this is not a problem."
But the problem is that, for the sake of Pyroxene, Shade has never asked this question to any Keeper in recent times. If the keeper in front of him thought he had fallen from the tower and was willing to answer a question directly, it would be impossible for Shade to choose to ask a question instead of Pyroxene after completing the keeper's trial.
This also means that the answer is always in front of him, but it is impossible for him to touch it.
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
ps1: According to the data, the light source of the lighthouse in that era was indeed a kerosene lamp. Further forward is firewood.
ps2: I noticed the hidden space under my feet, on the one hand, because as the level increases, the perception ability is already stronger than that of the first ring, and on the other hand, I have been in contact with the [Space Maze] too many times, and my perception of this type of space has been greatly enhanced .
ps3: Chapter 1115 has been modified to allow Iluna to take away some of the details of the arrow to make the plot look smoother. Does not affect the plot.
