Latest URL: "Five!"
A blast of thunder sounded from the air, and it was the first time Xia De heard such a clear sound in the narrow space. And then, dozens of jet-black light beams fell straight down from the height of the dense fog like a rain of light.
Xia De immediately dodged regardless of his injuries, but the black rain of light followed him and started to move.
"Four!"
His nose twitched, Xia De smelled the scent of flowers in that bedroom, and he was about to leave. The pitch-black scythe swept from the front again, and Xia De couldn't dodge at all because of the light rain following behind. And once he stopped to defend, he might be attacked by those light rains until he was powerless.
"no solution anymore."
The power of the last red butterfly was completely absorbed into the body, Xia De's footsteps stopped for a while, and then his whole body exploded, turning into a group of red butterflies and flying high into the sky.
"three!"
But the red butterflies didn't fly too far away. The master of the mythos suppressed the high-altitude flight, and forcefully pressed Xia De back to the ground, returning to human form... Xia De was actually very glad that Barton did this. For a moment, He almost thought that he was really the group consciousness of the group of red butterflies.
"Sure enough, you can't rely too much on the power of the relic."
The black light rain followed, and at the same time, Joey Button slowly floated over. He held a black sphere in his hand, which was expanding. Xia De had a premonition that once the black ball exploded, the shield of [Spirit Ring] and the state of [False Immortality] combined might not be able to save his injury.
"two!"
Someone was shaking Xia De's shoulders. In a half-dream and half-awake state, Xia De's consciousness seemed to be divided into two parts.
"Mr. Watson, this is the power I realized in the narrow room. So deep into death, so touching death, I understand what the end is."
Barton's voice seemed to come from far away, but he was so close. The special growth environment made him more talented than Iluna and Darkness, coupled with the power of Hazama, the degree of danger of this battle was even comparable to the decisive battle of Darkness:
"Is it more difficult to face the chosen one every time than the last time?"
Xia De, who was running, clasped his hands together, then pulled them away suddenly, and the silver moonlight arc slashed towards the man flying at low altitude.
"Give you—"
The black ball burst, time seemed to stand still at this moment, darkness fell, everything around seemed to be pushed to the end, representing the end of the end:
"—Destined to die!"
"wake up!"
The feeling of pouring cold water woke Xia De up from his dream with his still consciousness:
"oh!"
He gasped and opened his eyes, breathing heavily, enjoying the joy of being alive. Then he coughed violently, coughing up blood from his lungs.
Cold water slid down his cheeks, and someone really poured water on Xia De's face.
Back in the basement of the Cassandra Auction House, he propped himself up on one hand and sat on the soft four-poster bed. The black veil around her has been pulled away, Miss Aurora is sitting on the side of the bed and holding Shad's left hand, Granny Cassandra is holding a red butterfly pendant nervously, presumably intending to show Grace and Helen help.
As for the old witch's apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, she stood by the bedside with an empty bowl, and smiled at Shad with some embarrassment.
She splashed the water.
The bonfire in the fireplace was relit, and the shadow of the old witch by the side of the bed was projected onto the bed. The sound of the maids walking made this world more lively, and made Xia De's cold soul feel the temperature of the real world again.
Xia De, who was breathing deeply, could still feel the feeling of death at the last moment in the dream. He believed that Joey Button couldn't use that move for nothing, but even he didn't want to face that kind of situation again.
Looking down at his right hand, the doctor's black crystal amulet has been shattered. Although the three relic rings on the left hand are intact, the chaotic whispering elements mean that they are on the verge of losing control.
Xia De quickly took off the ring in his hand, and the female sorceresses waiting next to him took the ring and rushed it to the containment room on the other side of the basement.
"Shad, how are you feeling now?"
Miss Aurora asked with concern, Xia De shook his head:
"The situation is bad, very bad. If there is no targeted plan, I'm afraid the church will not be able to take advantage of it."
He briefly summarized what happened in the narrow dream, focusing on the fact that Joey Barton is gradually merging the unknowable relic of [Life and Death] by relying on the talents of the chosen ones and the knowledge he obtained from the Truth Society :
"He can even open the mythical lock in the narrow room [Life and Death Narrow Room]. It is hard to imagine how to defeat him when the two are superimposed. There is also the last move, the fated death indiscriminate large-scale attack , within the enveloping range, even if they have the ability to evade instant death, they will be pushed to the end. It's really scary, I can't imagine a mortal being able to do this."
Miss Rita Swift handed Shad a towel, and Shad wiped the water from his face. Miss Aurora's hand was sending temperature to Xia De, and he felt better:
"But what is certain is that Barton really wants to enter the real death through one of the three passages, and then find the soul of his beloved in death."
"The passage on the mountainside is guarded by us and Davelyn. There is a church and a phoenix on the top of the mountain. Could it be that he wants to pass through the door at the foot of the mountain?"
Miss Aurora guessed:
"After all, you met him near the natural church in the narrow space."
"That might just be to distract the church. He used the mystic just now, and the guarding souls in the church can also notice. Not to mention, the church you mentioned entering the narrow space to find him. I think soon, we You can get the news from the Church of the Five Gods. Therefore, it is possible for him to use the three channels."
After a moment of hesitation, he added:
"The chosen ones who are balanced stay at the church at the foot of the mountain. In addition, the church has three thirteen-ring warlocks in the local area, and there is also one in the three major thaumaturgy academies. Even if they are scattered, there will be a thirteen-ring warlock in one passage."
"No, the three thirteenth rings of the church should all be on the mountain, and they are needed for the ceremony."
Granny Cassandra said, this old witch who always smiles, now has a worried expression on her face:
"No matter what, the final moment is finally coming. It seems that the ceremony is not today on Tuesday, it should be tomorrow, Wednesday evening. Shade, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
Xia De blinked:
"Since Fort Midhill is so dangerous tomorrow, I plan to stay in Tobesk and wait for your good news."
"It's a bad lie."
Miss Aurora snorted:
"In short, no matter what you want to do, be careful."
She absolutely couldn't figure out what Xia De's goal was.
In the short hour of Xia De's dream, more than half a day has passed in real time.
It was noon on Tuesday, and the witches invited Xia De to have lunch together, but Xia De declined the invitation because he still had something to do. Before he left the Cassandra Auction House, Grandma Cassandra gave Shad a somewhat rusty red butterfly pendant. This is a complete pendant with whispering elements attached to it:
"Grace and Helen."
Grandma Cassandra couldn't possibly know what Shad wanted to do, but the twin girls probably guessed that Shad would re-enter the narrow room tomorrow.
After bidding farewell to the two witches, Shad went to the Church of the Sun in the Diocese of Fort Midhill again, and it took a lot of effort to meet Iluna.
He told the seventeen-year-old girl about the situation in the dream, emphasizing on the myth and the doomed death, reminding her to be careful. At the same time, Xia De also knew that the average level of the team sent by the Church of Nature to enter the narrow room today was level 8.
It's just that neither Xia De nor Iluna are very optimistic about their actions.
Wrote a letter to Sister Devlin at the House of the Blind, then returned to Tobesk. When I got home, it was already evening, and Xia De was holding someone else's cat, waiting for Luvia to get off work on the first floor of the Prophet Association, and then the two went to the restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue to have dinner together.
Luvia listened quietly to Xia De's description of what happened today, and asked softly after he finished speaking:
"So when you go home, you will prepare your travel equipment, then go to Fort Midhill, and wait for the church ceremony to start tomorrow?"
"Yes, when the church ceremony started, it was the time when the guarding forces of the three passages were most dispersed, and Joey Barton would most likely do it at that time. I will go deep into the narrow space, and use this body instead of going deep into the narrow space through dreams. In the closet, I will see the end of Joey Barton."
Shad is cutting the steak on the dinner plate:
"Since he doesn't want to turn back, and he doesn't want to turn back, I can only regard him as an enemy. Fortunately, with the [Night Watchman] in hand, I have confidence in facing the Mystery again. Plus Iluna, this time It shouldn't be a problem."
Although his tone was relaxed, Luvia knew how dangerous it was.
The purple-eyed girl specially put on light makeup in order to go out for dinner with Xia De. At this time, she pursed her lips:
"You chose to go to the church at the foot of the mountain instead of up the mountain? Why?"
Xia De used the fork in his hand to arrange the three pieces of meat in parallel on the plate. Mia looked at him expectantly:
"Priest Augustus is at the top of the mountain now, and Sister Divelin followed the witches to the mountainside. Isn't the rest of the answer obvious? Moreover, Iluna is at the foot of the mountain. Even if it is to protect her safety, I can't go to other places." place."
"Does she need your protection?"
Luvia whispered, shaking her red wine glass under the gas lamp, the wine red liquid showed a blurred color:
"I really hate this feeling of waiting, waiting for you to return from your adventure."
"Since the starry sky whale did not appear tonight, it must appear tomorrow night. While you are waiting for my return, you can also complete the big activities in the courtyard this autumn. This process is not boring."
Xia De sighed:
"Actually, I really want to see this legendary creature, but unfortunately, tomorrow night, I will most likely be in the narrow room."
"You know, I'm not here."
Luvia shook her head, lowered her head and found a divination card from her handbag, and pushed it to Xia De to signal him to draw one:
"It's still the old rule. Before you leave, let me do a divination for you, my knight."
Xia De nodded, first slapped Mia's outstretched claws, and then pulled out one from the middle:
"The ferryman."
On the card is an endless river, only half of the huge moon floats on the water. The ferryman in a robe swung his oars and sailed towards the moon.
He placed the card face up on top of the pile, and handed the cards back to Luvia:
"So, what does this card mean?"
"You will be an important guide, pointing the way to someone important, and you will be rewarded for it—this is the most basic meaning of this card."
"And what about other meanings?"
Luvia shook her head, saying nothing. Xia De could see that she was in a bad mood, but he also understood her thoughts at this time. Obviously the three of them agreed to witness all this together, but this time, Xia De and Iluna faced it again, and Luvia could only wait silently.
"Iluna is with me today, she will be back in Tobesk on the weekend, and she has invited us to have dinner and watch an opera together. At that time, shall we still go to the King's Opera House de la Rion? Maybe this time we can change the place .”
He smiled and changed the subject, while the waiter pushed the dining cart and brought clam chowder. Xia De loosened the buttons on the cuffs of the suit, and then motioned for Luvia to look over:
"look."
He stuck his finger into his cuff, and then "twisted" a somewhat wilted red rose out of the sleeve:
"For you, Luvia."
The young waiter at the side thought it was magic, but the purple-eyed girl saw that it was the effect of thaumaturgy.
She took the flower and forced a smile. Xia De leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, looked away from the pretty girl at the same table as him, and looked at the crystal chandelier above the high-end restaurant.
That light is beautiful, beautiful.
【How many flowers did you buy from that flower girl? 】
There was a murmur in my ear.
"Eight flowers."
Shad remembered it clearly.
[How many flowers have been sent out now? 】
"Iluna, Queen Diana, Miss Galina, Tifa, Luvia, sent five flowers."
He thought for a moment:
"Oh~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Rezia and Dorothy, they took one together. So, there are still two flowers left."
[The rest, who do you plan to give it to? 】
The light illuminated Xia De's eyes, and there were many ladies around him secretly looking at him. Luvia also held the flowers and looked across the table at this handsome young man with a smile on his face.
Sometimes the purple-eyed girl can't believe how lucky she is to meet this young cat-loving detective.
"Those flowers are not only roses. As for who I plan to give them."
His right hand unconsciously reached out to his chest, tapped it lightly, and then took out a handkerchief. This movement is very natural, and no one can see that there is something wrong.
Only "she" is smiling softly, "she" always does.
