"Last words..."
Xia De, who was sleeping, regained consciousness little by little following the repeated voice.
In a daze, he realized that he was standing on the boundless field ridge again, looking up at the huge silver moon disk in the starry sky.
"Am I dreaming?"
At this time, "her" voice came from the dream:
[Outlander, you have obtained a piece of information. 】
"What?"
Xia De on the ridge asked blankly, fully awake in the dream, and looked at everything around him in surprise:
"Why am I dreaming here again?"
[Communication was established with you through unknown relics and methods, and a piece of information was delivered to you. 】
After the words fell, the voice that had echoed countless times came again clearly in the dream:
"Shad Hamilton, open your eyes quickly, I am Rat Augustus. This is my last message to you from the world of the dead.
"Priest Augustus?"
In the dream, Xia De only felt his scalp go numb. He could hear the words clearly, but couldn't understand:
"Priest!"
I turned around, but there was no one on the ridge under the moon. Priest Augustus' illusory and hoarse voice was still repeating, Xia De looked around blankly, then suddenly raised his head and raised his hand:
"Fate Ring!"
With the emergence of steam, the high-speed spinning life ring appeared behind Xia De, and the life ring under the moon seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, but this time there was no sound at all.
"echo!"
The spirit rune impregnated with the first drop of divinity suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. In this light, Shad used thaumaturgy:
"Soul Echo!"
On the ridge under the moon where Xia De was alone, a vague figure took shape little by little.
"Sure enough."
Xia De thought in his heart.
The August priest with a transparent body finally took shape under the illumination of the spiritual light. He stood in front of Xia De, looked around in surprise, then looked up to the sky:
"Shad, where is this?"
"This is my dream."
"Why does this dream look so weird?"
The priest looked even more surprised than Shad.
"It doesn't matter, Priest, what happened?"
Xia De asked suspiciously, the phantom of the priest stopped looking at the moonlight above his head, but coughed and looked into Xia De's eyes.
The outsider suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Oh, Shad, yes, time is running out, let's get down to business. I'm glad you're able to let me see you one last time, it must be the blessing of the Lord. Well, it's as simple as that, I Dead, I am conveying my last words to you."
"What?"
The expression on Xia De's face froze.
"I'm running out of time, so don't ask questions."
The priest raised his hand to tell Xia De not to speak, and he spoke very fast:
"I have already arrived at Fort Midhill, and for some reason, I crossed the border of death, and then died... In short, you don't have to think about saving me, there is no such possibility. It's just because of the relic Characteristics, my thaumaturgy [last words], and I gave you my power, so I can contact you now. These are my last words, please remember—”
He coughed and didn't give Xia De any chance to ask questions:
In addition, the level 0 relic I buried in the church, you asked Anat to find a way to dig it out, don't keep it in the church.
Although there is no body, I hope to have a tomb in Tobesk, and I can bury my clothes in it. I have talked to the doctor about the location of the tomb, just tell him directly.
Finally, I promise to donate some quilts to the Sunshine Orphanage in Tobesk during the winter. I hope you can contact Bishop Owen to donate those quilts in your name. "
"Priest..."
Xia De stretched out his hand, but his hand passed through the priest's transparent body.
Priest Augustus looked at Shad with regret, under the huge silver moon plate above his head, his body quickly became more transparent:
"Xia De, I'm sorry, I'm really dead, please accept this fact."
He looked at Xia De with a smile, but his eyes were very sad:
"We're all going to die, aren't we?"
Xia De couldn't accept it, he opened his mouth, but found that he was speechless as if he was speechless.
"Don't feel sorry for me. Everyone is mortal, and everything is mortal. Shade, I am content to live to this age. Nice to meet you, and nice to meet Schneider, Anat and Louisa, It is you who made my old age so interesting. Xia De, seeing you at the end is something I never expected.
farewell......"
A black hole appeared silently behind Priest Augustus. Countless pairs of transparent hands stretched out, grabbed Priest Augustus's body, and pulled the very faint figure to the dark back.
Those hands seemed to be very afraid of the light of the huge silver moon above their heads, but even so, they still grabbed the priest under the moonlight.
"don't want!"
The moonlight flew out of the hand, but only passed through those arms, as if they were only phantoms.
Xia De stretched out his hand again, trying to grab the priest, but his hand passed through the priest's transparent body. Looking at the hole where countless arms stretched out, it was dark, lonely, and dead. In the dream, Xia De actually shivered, as if he really saw the concept of death itself.
[Outlander, you have all the perceptions of "death". 】
The priest was pulled into the darkness by those hands, the moonlight illuminated the hole, and then the hole disappeared, only Shad remained in the posture of wanting to hold Priest Augustus, the voice of the priest seemed to be in his mind all the time reverberate.
"Priest Augustus ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is dead?"
he asked himself.
"No!"
He sat up suddenly from the bed, startling the cat next to the pillow.
"What just happened?"
Panting heavily, he asked in his heart, his eyes looked at his bedroom in the dark, feeling his back was soaked. The curtains are closed tightly, but a faint morning light can be seen through the gaps in the curtains, and the night has passed.
Mia stood up and patted Shade's hand on the bed with her small paw, as if it wanted to comfort him.
[The other party has entered your dream, and you make his soul appear briefly through "echo". The one who can perceive the soul characteristics of the object is your friend. 】
"Priest Augustus? Really dead?"
In the dream, I felt that this fact was a bit illusory, but after waking up and thinking about it, Xia De felt that it was a bit absurd. He didn't understand, he didn't understand at all, he just won the championship of "Big City Player 1853", and Priest Augustus was only on a business trip to Fort Midhill, why suddenly the priest died.
[There is a subtle surprise between the dead soul and the living soul. He is indeed not a living person, but he is not dead yet. 】
"What's the meaning?"
Shad sensed the meaning in the words.
【He is in a delicate state between death and not death. 】
"Is there any help?"
[I can't give an answer, but the distance between him and death is closer than the distance between the ring warlock and the "other me". 】
Xia De got out of bed and opened the curtains, the faint morning light could already be seen outside, it is now ten past six:
"Dawn, death, priest..."
He clenched his fists and looked at himself in pajamas on the glass reflection:
"Priest, if I don't let you die, you don't want to die! The next stop is Midhill Castle!"
