"Can cats use this relic too?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"Of course, creatures with normal digestive systems and mouth structures can theoretically use this relic. You can pay for the spirit in advance, and your cute pet is just an ordinary animal."
Miss Teresa pushed down her glasses and said, Miss Violet and the young maid behind her also looked over with interest.
Xia De held the food bag in both hands and handed it to Mia. The cat unceremoniously stretched its head into the food bag. If Xia De hadn't grabbed its tail, the greedy cat might have gotten into the bag completely. in.
The cat's front half was wriggling in the food bag, and when Shade pulled out the dissatisfied Mia, it had a dried sausage in its mouth. After Xia De's inspection, it was confirmed that it was an ordinary beef sausage.
This made Miss Violet extremely disappointed, and she was looking forward to more interesting scenes.
"Funny scenes mean danger."
Shad pointed this out as he stood up from the campfire.
"For me, there is no danger."
The great witch of the thirteenth rank said quite confidently.
Just like last time, six maids stayed here to guard the camp, and Miss Violet set off with Miss Teresa and Shad, who were tenth rank.
The next part of the road will be very dangerous, so Shade turned Mia, who was eating the dried sausage, into a toy together with the dried sausage and put it in his pocket. Miss Violet was leading the way holding the relics [Finding Compass] and [Lucky Iron Cross], and Miss Teresa and Shade holding the [Night Watchman] followed behind her.
The fog on the island in the center of the Lost Lake was as terrifying as last time, but fortunately, this time there was no such terrifying thing as the "giant falling from the sky" last time. But Xia De found that the island in the center of the lake seemed to be different. Although he could occasionally see plants around in the fog last time, most of the plants were low and withered and yellow, similar to the Pantanal swamp in the west of Huntington in early winter. The scenery of the area is very similar.
But this time I followed the witch deep into the island, only to find that there are ups and downs withered yellow hard thorn bushes all over the place. These thorns are even harder than the special alloy used in the steam engine pressure chamber, and as long as you touch it with your hands, bleeding spots will appear on your fingers immediately.
The flames of the witch could not even burn them in a short time. Shade, holding the [Night Watchman], used the "Moonlight Sword" to make the moonlight sword attach to the real silver sword to open the way, so that he could barely delay the journey.
These thorn bushes had not appeared until shortly after Shad left, when Miss Violet and Theresa had returned to the bonfire camp by the lake. With a muffled sound on the ground, lichens, green grass, flowers, and then small ferns appeared on the originally barren land, until bushes, trees, and shrubs appeared.
Because the time here is difficult to judge, how long it took for the "plant evolution" in the eyes of the eight witches, they can't tell. But the appearance of those plants was not for the purpose of greening the place, but to absorb the nutrients of the earth, and after the scene of the primeval forest appeared, it gave birth to terrifying evil things like "evil treants".
In Miss Violet's words, they were movable plants with disgusting vines wrapped around them and green flames all over their bodies. After those monsters were born, they had conflicts with the eight witches, and a fierce battle ensued.
The thorn bushes all over the island are the product of that battle, and although Miss Violet seems to be fine, she is actually seriously exhausted. In addition, in the Lost Lake area, the recovery of spirit and physical strength will become extremely slow. If it weren't for the bag of holy water that Shade brought last time, Miss Violet might not be able to maintain her current dignity.
But no matter what, relying on Xia De to "overcome obstacles" along the way, the three of them arrived safely at the center of the island in the middle of the lake. Those hard withered yellow thorn bushes everywhere, like the dense fog on the island, did not invade the surroundings of the obsidian tower. So after coming to the tower, the three of them could finally take a short rest.
Miss Violet adjusted her state, and Miss Teresa was a little panicked to prepare herself to face the **** again, hanging the relic [Proof of Faith] around her neck and praying in a low voice.
Only Xia De looked up at the obsidian tower in front of him. Miss Violet didn't pay attention to him at first, but suddenly realized something:
"I remember that when you came with us last time, you didn't dare to look directly at this tower."
She stood behind Xia De and said softly, afraid of disturbing the existence in the tower.
"People will always improve. The last time I was not the current me...It's really interesting. The gods are not on the first floor, but on the second floor."
Xia De frowned slightly:
"What does this mean? The symbolic meaning shows that we have to complete the trial step by step? Or does it mean that God is moving away from this land, so we have to hurry up?"
He turned to the witches, but they didn't know the answer either. Even though they have been living by the campfire by the lake, they can see the obsidian tower's blurred silhouette from the fog and the corner of the thornbush, but they don't pay attention to the tower all the time.
"Yes, hurry up, I really don't want to stay here for a moment, I miss my soft bed."
Miss Violet said softly, and the three of them adjusted their makeup. The Witch Emperor wanted to push away the dilapidated wooden board under the tower, but was stopped by Shade:
"No, I'm in better condition this time, so I'll come. Miss Violet, you'd better save some energy, you're going to live here for a long time."
Xia De left the [Night Watchman] outside, and stepped out first. Miss Violet didn't compete with him, but watched Shade step forward and push the door open. The airtight space inside the door is windy, and the moist water vapor rushes towards the face with the wind, and being breathed into the lungs makes people feel that the brain is calmed down immediately, as if all the worries in the heart have been let go.
Miss Violet was about to step forward, but saw Xia De's side face, as if a gap had been blown by the wind. Afterwards, golden rays of light gushed out from the cracks in the side face, and little particles of light dragged out golden embers.
Xia De turned around and waved to the witches:
"Ladies, I'm at the front, come with me."
Miss Teresa looked at Xia De with gold cracks all over her body in surprise, like Xia De who was burning with golden flames:
"Didn't it be a red flame last time?"
"No, it's not a flame."
"Although I don't know what it is, this is much greater than the last flame. Well, sir, you go ahead. This time we are going to the second floor of the tower. You need to go to the front. Be careful."
"No problem. Although I don't intend to boast of myself, I have experienced this kind of thing more than once."
"Sir, we don't know your name yet."
Mademoiselle Teresa still remembered it.
Xia De hesitated:
"Shard Suren Hamilton."
"Sullen..."
Miss Violet gave him a surprised look, and Miss Teresa nodded to show that she remembered.
[Just say your real name like that? 】
"Miss Filianna and Miss Olanode also know, besides..."
Shad stepped into the tower, and the abundant water vapor almost made him think he was soaking in water:
"[Father of the Infinity Tree] seems to be deliberately erasing my traces of the past era. Otherwise, St. Byrence should have found out that something is wrong with me."
The first floor of the tower is still the small lake, and the thick water mist is rippling on the calm lake, but the table and the **** behind the table are missing in the center of the tower.
"Sure enough, I went to the second floor."
Xia De thought in his heart, turned his head and looked behind him, Miss Violet and Miss Teresa had already followed.
"God is not here."
Xia De said softly, and the two witches nodded slightly.
The three looked around the first floor of the tower, but did not see any upward stairs. Looking up, you can't see the ceiling at all, only the thickening fog.
"There's something wrong there."
The thirteenth-level Witch Emperor was still keenly aware. She pointed to the area opposite the door. After the three approached, Xia De also discovered that the water mist in that area was not normal.
Stretch out your hand to touch it, and when your finger touches the solid, the shape of the steps appears in the mist like mercury. But when Xia De withdrew his finger, the step disappeared again.
"Invisible stairs?"
Xia De asked in surprise, Miss Violet nodded:
"I have seen the relic [Stairway to Heaven], very similar to the one in front of me."
As she spoke, a ball of light flew out from Miss Violet's right hand, that ball of light appeared from the position where the stairs appeared just now, and then completely penetrated through. Xia De frowned, retracted his hands into his sleeves, and then touched the area with his clothes, but nothing happened. I touched it again with my hand, but I touched it again.
"It will only appear if there is direct physical contact. If there is no contact, it means that it does not exist. The something wrong with the water mist should be a clue left by the great one for us. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to find the ladder."
He came to a conclusion.
"But why would God do this?"
Miss Teresa asked in a low voice.
"Do you think meeting a **** means visiting a neighbor?"
Miss Violet asked back, and then looked at Shad again:
"You come first or I come first?"
"I'll come first."
Xia De said, bent slightly, and touched his hands in front of him. After trying a few times, with the touch of the palm, the mercury echoed, once again outlining a small part of the stairs. Xia De memorized this position, but when he raised his foot to step on it again, he found that he was still stepping on the air~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yes, shoes. "
Xia De understood immediately, so he took off his boots and socks.
He turned to the two ladies and said:
"You also take off your shoes and socks like me, oh, this really feels like going on a pilgrimage. Some time ago, I went to visit a white-robed lady who lived in the lake, and the accompanying blind nun took off her boots; and I've heard that country people in some places clean their feet before entering a church and walk barefoot to the holy emblem... I should turn my head."
He patted himself on the head, and Miss Teresa, who was blushing, bent down to take off her shoes and socks in embarrassment. Miss Violet glanced at Xia De's back with great interest, this was the first time she had seen such a man.
Even in the fifth era, women's feet are still not to be looked at casually.
