With Sister Devlin's final blessing, the bonfire behind the two of them roared loudly. Centered on the bonfire, the flames flow along the traces of the ceremony arranged in advance on the ground. After a few breaths, the fiery red lines have already lit up the entire courtyard.
Those winding lines and ancient runes danced under the starry sky, and the jumping firelight made them more three-dimensional and more real.
At the same time, the flames flowing on the ground also flowed from both sides of Shad and Sister Devlin along the grooves on both sides of the walkway to the mansion in front of them. But it turned around before the steps of the mansion, and two streams of fire extended to both sides, enclosing the entire building.
The nuns beside the trail rang the bells, held up the porcelain vases, and lightly waved the white flags. The two Gaohuan nuns in front of the gate opened the gate of the mansion at the same time.
In an instant, the white mist representing the boundary between the two worlds gushed out like a roaring monster, but as it moved away from the door, it became lighter and weaker, and just stopped spreading at the edge of the courtyard. The firelight in the courtyard danced in the fog, making the boundary stay here steadily.
Underfoot is still the land of the material world, but the world of the dead has also penetrated.
Xia De said nothing more, and walked forward along the trail. The white mist seemed to be the thickest on the trail, and Xia De couldn't even see the nuns on both sides clearly when walking in it.
But he could still hear the soft murmurs of the nuns. They were praying to death itself. The primitive language and old grammar seemed to bring the time back to the old age, the era when everyone was in awe of death.
The voice of "her" continued in the ear, and Xia De, who kept moving forward, also vaguely felt that the world had become a little different. It wasn't just a cold wind and some strange whispers, but the world as a whole was a little different.
When he came to the door of the mansion, he could hardly see the nuns standing on both sides. Ahead was the gate, and Xia De stepped in without hesitation.
The white mist still exists indoors, but the mansion in front of me is no longer what it was when I entered it just now. There is no foyer, only a straight corridor in front of you, the corridor leading to the deepest part of the mansion, and at the end of the corridor is the door.
"Alright, I don't have to waste any more time."
There was a smell of decay and corruption in the wind, and there were more and more small voices in the white mist pouring out from the front, and none of them sounded like the voices of living people. Xia De held his breath, feeling the power of the abnormal space, and approached the end of the corridor step by step.
At the source of the white mist, the wall that originally represented the "crack" is no longer the rotating black vortex, but is now a dilapidated wooden door. Xia De stood in front of the door for a while, then stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
There was darkness behind the door, and the icy air mixed with white mist hit his body and soul. The thin thread on the wrist emits a crimson light and gives him warmth, and the leaves in the mouth replenish the body with a steady stream of vitality.
"Praise be to the father of the infinite tree, may time be with me."
"Praise the sage of the silver moon, may the moonlight shine on me forever."
"Praise Mr. Dawn, shine the shadows, shadows follow the dawn."
"She" asked softly after Xia De's three compliments,
"Praise the ancient **** of death, and may death bless me, a foreigner."
He stepped over.
This kind of statement also appeared before obtaining the "greedy" spirit rune, which means that although Shade has some feelings for the power of the spirit, it is not enough to construct the spirit rune in the ring of life. This was the second time he heard this sentence, the first time was when Priest Augustus gave him his last words.
There was a reminder from "her" in my ear, and after stepping through the door, the cold wind suddenly disappeared.
The change of space made Xia De, who was used to jumping in space, feel no discomfort. But the feeling of rejection of the body around him made him really feel what "the narrow space between life and death" is.
Outside the door is still a world of white mist, but the fog here does not flow, but is still in the air. And in front of him is still the corridor in the depths of Baron Russell's manor, but everything in front of him seems to have faded, turning into gray, white and black, and this place has become extremely dilapidated as if it has experienced the baptism of a hundred years.
The cold and damp fog was very similar to what Xia De encountered when he went down the mountain in the afternoon, and it was even more unfriendly to living people.
"A low-level warlock like a priest can stay in this kind of place for a week at most, so what about me?"
"clear."
Xia De nodded, raised his hand and looked at it. In a world that had lost color and life, his skin and clothing retained color. It's just that when he uses his limbs, he obviously feels a different sense of power from his physical body.
This level 0 relic is very different from other relics that Shade encountered. The ubiquitous four elements did not give him negative feelings such as headaches. The whispering element is being effectively balanced by the other three elements.
Although the power of the body is not prominent here, but the soul is inside and outside the body, but it is obvious that the soul containing the divinity is stronger than the mortal body. Because the ring warlock system is the unity of body and soul, he still has three rings, but his abundant spirit and the feeling that he can penetrate walls with a wave of his hand are things that normal bodies don't have.
He even felt that in this place, he could barely use the Mystery Lock once. But Sister Devlin said that in this world between life and death, the speed of recovery of the ring magician's spirit and physical strength is extremely slow. Therefore, if Shade dared to use the mystic here, he would have to bear the consequences of being completely powerless within a few hours and unable to use any thaumaturgy and spells.
"Not too bad."
Dear, this chapter is not finished, there is another page ^0^, there are black traces on the wall. Turning around and looking behind him, the door from when he came was gone.
But the thin thread wrapped around the wrist is still burning crimson. When Shad wants to return, he can return to this position, and this thread will guide him away.
He didn't set off immediately, but squatted down to check the moss by the wall, and barely recognized that it was a special plant called Moss. In the material world, this kind of plant is grown from corpses. Not only is it highly poisonous, but just carrying it will speed up the aging of the carrier, but in this world, it looks like a very ordinary plant.
"This place is weirder than expected."
He stood up and looked at the pendant on his chest. With a light touch, the holy emblem of the Righteous God emitted a golden light, and then flew forward, but because it was tied by a rope, it just floated in front of his chest.
This place that shouldn't exist, the world on the verge of life and death, is floating with white mist all year round. Xia De, who has the spirit rune, can clearly feel that this is not a stable normal space, but more like an illusory dream or something else.
The terrain in it is basically a copy of West Carr Mountain and the city of Fort Midhill at the foot of the mountain. It's just that there is no other life here, only wandering souls.
There is not even a little sound in the whole world, even the sound caused by Shade's stampede will be weakened to the point that he can hardly hear it himself.
After leaving the house and going outside, he unexpectedly found that the sky was not black as imagined, but a strange gray. There was no sun nor moon nor stars, everything seemed dead.
Xia De didn't want to stay longer in this kind of world, so he left the manor and walked towards the city following the guidance of the holy emblem.
The silent world is particularly terrifying. Occasionally, a tragic death-like spirit body suddenly appears from the side. Although it just passes by Xia De, it still makes the already depressed mood worse.
But before Shad actually entered the city, he encountered an evil spirit in the woods that tried to attack him. It was an undead knight holding his own head, riding on horseback, and his chest was sunken. It looked like a soul that died a long time ago.
The ritual of the Spiritual Order should have been able to protect Xia De from the attention of the evil spirit, but probably because of the unfortunate man's hair, the evil spirit of the Headless Horseman still looked at him after Xia De approached.
"Sure enough, the ritual can indeed weaken the evil spirit's perception of me, but if I get too close..."
Silently, the knight charged towards Xia De on horseback with a spear in hand. At the moment when the evil spirit and Xia De intertwined, the silver moonlight flashed across this colorless world.
Then Xia De continued to walk forward, and the evil spirit was split into two without a sound, and then dissipated in the air:
"I am a true knight."
This is its last word.
On the boundary between life and death, Xia De is really strong.
Obviously the manor was far away from the city, but when Xia De crossed the forest, he found himself standing on the outskirts of the quiet Fort Midhill.
Continue to walk one street forward, cross the intersection and step directly into the city. Although it is indeed like a reflection of the real world, it is specious and not exactly the same.
"It's also convenient in a hurry, but is Priest Augustus in the city? Is he in the church?"
Shad guessed.
The white mist is hazy, and shadowy souls are floating around. The souls Xia De saw today are more than the total number of souls he has seen since he came to this world. It seems that the souls of the dead people ~www.mtlnovel.com~ in Fort Midhill and the surrounding area have a chance to come to this abnormal place.
This is a violation of the rules of death. After a normal death, the soul should leave directly.
"How did this ambiguous place between life and death come about?"
He really couldn't figure it out, but if all the souls that existed here flocked to the real world, even if there were only a few evil spirits among them, the entire central and eastern region of the old continent would definitely be wiped out.
"Don't the church have a one-time solution to this kind of place? If you just blindly seal it, there will definitely be bigger problems in the future."
Thinking in my heart, I suddenly heard a faint cry for help. Shade stopped hesitantly, because this world will reduce the sound, so the source of the sound should be very close.
"Is there anyone else alive here?"
He remembered that the information from the college mentioned that there were a lot of people missing this autumn.
