Chapter 3212 The fifth chapter of the 5182
After returning home from St. Byrrones, Shade continued to go out in the dark and came all the way to Dr. Schneider's clinic in the East District of Tobesk.
His late visit scared the doctor, and he thought something had happened again. He said he wanted to help him see if there was any residual demonic power in the blood sample, so he felt a little relieved:
"Is this blood? Why is it contaminated like this? No, I'm pretty sure it's not caused by the power of the demon. What? Relics? Sorry, detective, I haven't seen any information about relics with similar characteristics."
Xia De was not disappointed. He was much more relieved to confirm that he had not just left the house and ran into the demon. This shows that the good luck displayed by the cards during the pre-holiday mission is still continuing.
When he threw his crystal shoes from the doctor's clinic and went home, it was already dark, and Galina and Luvia had even changed into nightgowns:
"Do you still have to go out tonight?"
"I won't go out anymore. I'll wait until tomorrow morning to go to the college. Denister has no plans to travel on a business trip recently. Now the college is also open. She must be in the library."
As Xia De said, he took off his coat and handed it to Tifa beside him. Luvia continued to ask:
"So will you turn on the time key later?"
Xia De originally planned to do this, but looking at Luvia and Galina's expressions at this time, he thought it would be good to start a new journey of time tomorrow morning. Although it only took three seconds to use the key, he would definitely bring back a lot of problems after he came back:
"It's going to be tomorrow morning. I'm a little tired after climbing the mountain for so long today."
"Are you tired?"
Galina blinked at him.
"So I need to have a good rest. I will press and mop for me later. How about it? I'll go take a shower first, and you guys can wait for me."
Luvia and Galina both smiled reservedly, and they stayed at home together tonight. The girls never felt like they were going to Xia De to rest. They were using themselves to reward Xia De and they generally thought that this was rewarding themselves.
Xia De said that it was an excuse to massage, but after taking a shower, the considerate ladies really massaged his shoulders. As Xia De pressed Xia De's pajamas, it disappeared. It was Jialina's move first, while Luvia moved first.
So it came Tuesday. Xia De originally planned to open the key immediately after getting up early in the morning. The gate of the [Time Gallery] allowed him to learn about the task half an hour in advance, but he hadn't tried it yet.
But after waking up with the red-haired witch and the divination lady, they were awakened and pulled him and refused to let him leave. Originally, Tifa heard the voices in the bedroom and wanted to knock on the door to ask if breakfast should be arranged immediately or prepare again after a while, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard the sound of morning exercises starting.
So he woke up at half past six, but Xia De was able to leave the bedroom until half past seven. While Luvia and Galina went to wash and dress up, he simply washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then entered the living room of Room 2 with a brand new key and prepared to set off.
The cat waiting for breakfast followed him, and Tifazhe came to see Xia De farewell. Because he was not sure about the situation of this mission, the cat must not be taken with him. The black-haired maid gave him a lucky kiss before picking up the cat:
"Be careful. Did you kiss the lady like this this morning?"
She asked with a smile, and when Xia De was embarrassed, her smile became even more obvious:
"Wait for you to come back for breakfast, Master."
"Okay, I'll be back soon. Mia, I'll take you next time - May the World Tree bless me in the infinite time."
With a click, the keyhole was turned, and Xia De stepped into the fog door in front of him.
[Foreigner, you have officially stepped into the "Time Gallery".]
[Now, do you need to know the task of the key in your hand?]
The familiar endless glowing white mist filled the whole world. Xia De felt very missed when he came here for a long time. He walked towards the arc arch made of slender trunks, vines, branches and green leaves in front of the white mist:
"Yes, let me know the mission."
[Message from the ancient god "Father of Infinite Tree":]
[Fifth century 5182, Central Continent, Tombstone Wasteland.]
【Event: Digging graves.】
[Duration lasts forty minutes → eighty minutes (1/3).]
【You have obtained additional information.】
【The figure of the father of the Infinite Tree is watching you.】
[The ancient god of time gives you a test.]
【Assist mortals to learn the secret of the old god - "King of Skeletons".】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Runes - Jealousy.]
"King of Skeletons?"
Xia De frowned slightly, and an image suddenly jumped out of his mind—
In the midst of death, the big bone hand wearing a bright golden bracelet slowly stretched out from the darkness and hit the calm water surface. The big bone hand with seven fingers, and then the other big bone hand with a seven-fingered bracelet engraved with runes also stretched out towards him from the darkness.
This is not an illusion, but a memory. In the autumn of 1853, when experiencing the "life and death narrow" and "death chosen one" at Fort Mead Hill in the end, Shade and Joey Patton fought a final duel in the death.
At that time, he relied on the blessings of Iluna, Sister Devlin, Priest Augustus and others to suppress the "reverse life man" Joey Patton, the first candidate, as the first candidate. At that time, Patton used the power of "Everything Impermanence Card Death" and summoned such an incarnation with the mark left in death by an old god related to death (Chapter 793).
Afterwards, Xia De certainly did not forget to find out which old god power that appeared at that time belonged to, so he learned about the old god [God of the Tomb], and people generally called it "King of Skeletons".
This old god is obviously a god of death. Its most well-known image is the image that Joey Patton summoned in death with the help of the Impermanence Card - a skeleton giant wearing a faded gold crown, and three bright golden bracelets on his left and right hands with seven finger bones.
This god still has many legends and stories in the Sixth Era. Although it was gone in the late fifth Era, the secret beliefs about him still exist in the era when foreigners lived.
People who believe in this old god believe that as long as they wear three golden bracelets engraved with prayer secrets on their left and right hands during their burial, their souls will not go to nothingness after death, but will enter the kingdom of the tomb god and continue to live in the form of an undead soul in the "City of the Dead".
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
This belief is mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the Old Continent, especially in the hilly areas south of the Rommel Mountains. Because a large number of ordinary people who do not understand mystery at all, they carved ancient words from somewhere on bracelets and made them into burial objects and buried them together with the corpses. About 300 years ago, an unfathomable "dead natural disaster" broke out in that area.
The disaster was quickly suppressed, and since then, the eastern part of the Old Continent began to strictly promote the cremation system, which is also a huge impact of extraordinary events on the lives and traditional habits of ordinary people.
"But I remember that although this god left in the fifth era, he is a real evil god."
The evil god who left the deepest impression on Xia De in the time adventure was of course the blood-sucking god. Fortunately, [Duke Raoel of the Vampire Duke] still existed in the Sixth Era, but [God of the Grave] was no longer there.
So even if this time adventure is related to this god, Shade doesn't have to worry about actually meeting Him soon.
"The mission is to learn about the secrets of the old god. So what kind of secrets should be considered as meeting the mission conditions?"
Since he met this god this time, there was no need for Xia De to quit and search for information. He had enough knowledge of this god. He could not find anything after another half an hour. If he could have two or three days to prepare, he might have gained something.
As for this reward—
"[Jealousy] must be a great sin. I can really give you any reward for Shufu. It seems that my [Jealousy Chain] can have another rune. However, can [Jealousy] be a miracle?"
He recalled that the spiritual rune reward given by the tree father seemed to be always a "miracle".
This type of reward appears not very frequently. This is the 16th time adventure of ordinary keys, and the number of times the spiritual runes appears is only the fourth time. But if you think about it carefully, except for the initial [Echo], you did not get the [Night] and [Tree] Xia Deke afterwards.
"It was 5182, five years after I first met Miss Violet and Miss Schultz Theresa in Lost Lake, two years after Teresa and I witnessed Miss Elather's birth in the Sea of ​​Light."
Thinking of this, he became more and more anxious about this time adventure. He took a deep breath to adjust his mood, then walked forward until he passed through the arch in the fog.
So the white mist slowly spread to the surroundings, and the deep darkness appeared behind the white mist.
"Hmm? What's so smelly?"
The moment of dizziness was something that had never happened before. Xia De, who had recovered from his senses, felt his back leaning against a very hard thing. He blinked his eyes and realized that the direction was wrong.
He just walked up by himself, but now he has become a lying position. And not only lying, he seems to be in a confined space at this moment.
He quickly adapted to the upper, lower, left and right according to gravity, and then realized that he was lying on his back on a hard and rotten wooden board. Or rather, he was lying in the coffin of the grave at the moment. The darkness he saw on his back was not the color of the sky, but the thick soil. The odor he smelled at his nose was not the smell of the environment, but the breath of the grave itself.
Although every time I go to the past, I will never appear in a safe place at the beginning, it is still a bit too much to lie directly into the grave this time:
