[Death's Gate] is a thaumaturgy learned by Shade after returning from death, allowing souls who voluntarily leave and the caster themselves to pass through. Because it is a one-way passage, Xia De never thought that one day he would really step into death from here.
He knew that Mr. Mattis was watching him, but instead of turning his head, he stepped into the gap.
[Outlander, you are entering death. 】
[Outlander, you have a better understanding of "sleeping". 】
Cold, trembling.
The momentary emptiness and extreme cold almost caused Xia De's consciousness to fall into deep sleep again, but he immediately realized that he had reached his destination.
There is no sound, no sound, everything is quiet; the dark moon shines on everything, and this moment is the end.
Behind them are the two huge stone gates, and at the feet is the faint "Tree Kiss" bonfire that is almost extinguished. But in front of him, the huge silver moon was half-sunk at the end of the dark waters. The waters in front of him seemed to have no end. Just looking at it, there was a primitive sense of fear welling up in his heart.
An immeasurable number of shadowy white shadows, with their backs facing the narrow tidal flat by the water. They looked up at the cold dark moon, and gradually moved away from each other as their bodies flickered, moving towards the silver moon.
There is no sound here, and it is not even necessary to breathe. Quiet and solemn, cold and deep, here is death itself.
Looking down at his hand, the cracked marks are spreading to the whole body, and the radiance of divinity is transmitted from it, protecting Xia De's soul from going away.
"Iruna!"
Taking off the mask, he walked a few steps, came to the side of Iluna who was collapsed on the ground, inserted the [Night Watchman] into the ground, put down the kerosene lamp containing the first fire, and carefully picked up the seventeen-year-old girl .
The dark golden balance is suspended above her head to protect her safety, but Iluna is a living person after all, and she is very uncomfortable here.
Looking into the distance, Joey Barton was sitting sideways on a big rock at the end of the tidal flat, holding the stone surface with his right hand, his left hand drooping naturally, and his two feet could not touch the ground because of his short stature. He turned his head, quietly looking at the distant water surface and the dark moon, the dark moon reflected its shadow on the gravel beach, and he didn't seem to know that Xia De had arrived.
"you"
"She's fine. When I pushed the door open, she wanted to grab me, so she followed in. She's also gifted with death, plus that dark gold wonderful scale, and the fact that she put it in her mouth in advance. leaves, so I didn’t leave with those souls.”
Joey Barton's voice was very calm.
It is true that Iluna was only temporarily unable to move, but after being hugged by Shad, it seemed that she was affected by the divine light on his body, and her body temperature and breathing rate were returning to normal. He tried his best to open his eyes and look at Xia De, his lips wriggled and spit out the pale leaf that had lost its effect, Xia De immediately stuffed another piece for her (Note).
The seventeen-year-old girl tried to speak, but couldn't.
"It's okay, I'll take care of the next thing."
He said softly, and carried Iruna back to the bonfire of Tree Kiss. Looking at the weak bonfire, after hesitating for a moment, he opened the lampshade of the kerosene lamp, carefully pulled the weak first flame, and let the flame fall into the bonfire.
There was no sound, but the nearly extinguished bonfire was rekindled. Even the spirit and physical strength that have completely stagnated in recovery after death have a tendency to recover slowly.
Inserting [Night Watchman] by the bonfire and letting Iluna sit there holding the sword, Shade turned and walked to the end of the beach, and came to Joey Barton.
At this time, I was finally able to see the calm expression on his face. The brilliance of the dark moon illuminated the somewhat deformed boy's face, and Xia De didn't know what he was thinking as the middle-aged man looked at those wandering and blurred white figures.
"Is this what you really look like? You're so handsome"
Joey Button sighed softly.
"Are you still not giving up?"
Shad asked.
"Yes, it's almost done."
"Then you who are talking to me now, are you the avatar or the main body?"
"One-third of the body. I won't put all my eggs in one basket."
"I see."
Hu suddenly raised his right hand high, and when it fell, the moonlight sword in his hand had already taken shape. Mr. Button didn't dodge, and the moonlight sword slashed his shoulder, but it had no effect as if it had hit an indestructible object.
"Mr. Watson, you really don't understand this place."
"Don't understand what?"
Xia De scattered the big sword in his hand, not ashamed of his sneak attack.
"Here is death itself. We who came here are already dead. How can you kill people here?"
The tone is still so calm, he is explaining the facts he has learned.
"Yes, here is death"
Xia De nodded, and stopped observing Mr. Button, but put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked at the water in front of him, and the thousands of souls on the water.
The tide was not calm, and the surging water stopped in front of Shad's boots, retreated, and came again, washing the small stones and pebbles.
"Here, the only thing that can hurt us is entering this water. Whether it's you or me, if you don't have a special way to touch these waters, you will never come back."
Mr. Button continued.
"So, how do you find the soul you're looking for here?"
Gu Yu
His thick and deformed fingers point to the depths of death represented by Mingyue:
"Right here."
"Why don't you act now?"
"Because I'm not complete."
The voice fell, and a voice came from behind the two. It's not that Iluna stood up, but a new guest arrived here.
Turning around and looking, another Joey Barton appeared in front of [Death's Gate]. Compared with the first one who was intact on the surface, he looked much more embarrassed, his right hand was missing, and his body was covered with all kinds of strange scars. Even half of his head was cut off, but he was still alive.
The second Joey Button, as if he already knew everything about this place, walked over the bonfire to Joey Button on the rocks on the shore, and merged with him.
Xia De couldn't stop this process, but he noticed that someone came here with Mr. Barton, it was the familiar old priest.
Priest Rat Augustus frowned and looked at the scene in front of him:
"Really, I am so old, why should I participate in this kind of thing?"
He walked to the bonfire, then sat down carefully with his hands on the ground, and stretched out his hands to face the bonfire, as if wanting to keep warm.
"Priest Augustus?"
Iluna, who recovered a little bit, asked in a low voice, because the leaves were in her mouth, so the voice was a bit strange:
"You are"
Priest Augustus was a respectable old priest of the Tobesk diocese, known even to pagans.
"Good evening, oh, it's Miss Bayas. I was attending the ceremony at the top of the mountain, and then Joey Barton fought up. I was seriously injured by three thirteen-ring magicians of the church, but I still fell into it with all my might. The crack on the top of the mountain. I originally wanted to stop him, but I was unlucky and followed in. Well, I took the initiative to follow in, I can't watch him do bad things."
The priest shrugged:
"Relax, wait for Xia De to solve this matter. Although I don't know what Mr. Detective wants to do, he has always been able to find a way. What kind of fire is this? It's so warm."
"I'm actually curious."
At the end of the tidal flat, the two men looking at Mingyue and the far away soul are still talking:
"Why no matter which one of the three passages enters here, you can still see [Death's Gate]."
Xia De asked softly.
"Not only through the narrow space, no matter what method or method you use to enter here, it is actually the same. Because the [Death Gate] is indeed the only correct way to enter this tidal flat besides the normal death process. .So in theory, the passage at the foot of the mountain is indeed the most stable."
Joey Barton replied that this knowledge probably comes from the identity of the chosen ones.
"Then do you know that the 'Scar of the Sacred Tree' ceremony is almost complete, and now none of us can get out?"
Shad asked again, and Joey Barton hesitated for a moment:
"I don't know, but after seeing her, there will always be a way."
Xia De shook his head, knowing that it was absolutely impossible for him to convince the person in front of him.
They did not continue talking, but looked at the distance of the silent and dark water together, watching the flickering white shadows appear, advance, and disappear at the end of their vision.
"What do you think of this moon?"
Xia De said again suddenly, Mr. Button did not give an answer immediately, he listened attentively, and then spoke:
"After the ancient gods left, due to some reasons, the dark moon that was supposed to guide death here also disappeared. But now it reappeared, maybe just like me, the chosen one who deeply grasped the power of the moon Those who are also engaged in their own epic."
Xia De shook his head, this dark moon appeared because the priest invaded his dream, and the moonlight above the wilderness in his dream shone into death. But he couldn't be the chosen one, as Luvia had said many times.
"This round of the moon is really beautiful. The moon and death, the two most original forces, are displayed here to stabilize the rules of death and ensure that all living beings are mortal. If, if the moon can appear two epochs earlier, maybe Meade Fort Hill's life and death will not expand so fast at all."
While speaking, another voice came from behind.
The third Joey Barton appeared. In addition to the high degree of burns, his legs were amputated by the roots, his eyes were gouged out, his nose and ears were cut off, and even his mouth was stitched up with cursed black thread.
After it appeared, it lay on the ground directly, and then crawled hard to the end of the tidal flat. The power of the curse is blooming on him, it is the curse of the witches. At the same time, Xia De also noticed that his chest was glowing, as if there was an unquenchable fire burning his heart.
Even after the third Mr. Barton merged with Joey Barton on the stone beside Shad, the latter still held his heart and made an expression of unbearable pain.
And the appearance of the third Joey Button brought a new Ring Warlock for the third time.
Sister Divelin was still so calm~www.mtlnovel.com~ she was wearing that gray-black nun gown made of silk, with a shawl of the same color on her shoulders. The silver crown-style eye patch tied the silver-gray hair around the ears, and the long hair was braided in a complicated pattern behind it, almost hanging down to the waist.
The hands are folded, and they are naturally attached to the front of the body, the head is slightly lowered, but the eyepatch still reflects the light of the dark moon.
Flames, crimson flames, are appearing on the nun's body little by little. At first glance, it looked like she was being ignited, but then I saw that there were fiery red cracks attached to the nun's body. Not only the skin, but even the hem of the clothes and the ends of the hair were glowing with flames. As the violent flames gradually subsided, the embers of the flames floated out from the cracks until the afterglow of the first fire completely stabilized, protecting her from staying here for a long time.
Despite wearing a blindfold, Sister Devlin can still "see" everything.
She first nodded slightly to Xia De who turned his head at the end of the tidal flat, and then walked to the bonfire of "Tree Kiss". Instead of sitting on the ground like Priest Augustus, or sitting sideways and leaning against the [Night Watchman] like Iluna, the nun moved a stone and sat on it.
From the beginning of the era to the present, this is probably the day with the largest number of living people here.
