Snow is still falling on the islands in the middle of the Pantanal Lake, but the islands covered in silvery white are covered with dense vines and dead trees. These seem to have grown in just a few days, and these
Strange plants have elemental reactions, and they are special plants that can be used as potion materials - although due to the residual power of evil things, using these plants to prepare potions will be quite dangerous.
Looking from the front of the tower towards the bottom of the hill, you can still see the current appearance of the Stonehenge ruins. The bonfire has long been extinguished, but the traces of the battle still remain on the ground, including the dead forest that was destroyed by Lykins Prisha's blow.
The deep pit left behind has been covered with snow.
Thirteen giant trees stand at the original location of Stonehenge. This ancient ritual formation has completely lost its power due to excessive use by Shade. But these giant trees will still guard the island and use their own power to protect the island.
Vitality, spread more life.
Their destination was the small dock below the lighthouse. Along the way, the nun and Shade told more about the aftermath of the Battle of Pantanal, and Shade also learned that Iluna was already on her way back, and the three
The great witch returned to Huntington.
"I recovered the flames of the original fire on the lighthouse and burned the huge firewood. I can give you more power."
The lighthouse is not far from the shore. A path leads to the shore through the remaining dead woods on the east side of the lighthouse. While seeing the large lake from a distance, Shade was surprised that the Pantanal Lake looked like this during the day.
.
To be honest, although there is still a miasma and weird plant communities grow on both sides of the lake shore, the scenery here is surprisingly good.
The nun spoke softly to Shade. As Shade continued to move forward, he turned to look at her. There was a faint smile on his fair face under the silver eyepatch:
"There is no need to go back to the sacrificial site, you can do it here."
The two of them walked to the shore. There was thin mist above the lake, so they could not see the situation on the other side of the lake. The Church of Nature is still mobilizing a team to rush here. From now on, the Pantanal Swamp will be under the responsibility of the Church of Nature. Of course, there are
Responsibility also means power. This large swamp can really be called a treasure house.
Standing on the shore, the nun bent slightly and held her hands together. The round black flame core and slender red flames appeared in her hands, and the flame tail swayed in the cold winter wind:
"Heroes who bear the fire, please touch this original flame."
As before, Shade knelt on one knee on the snow on the shore and touched the nun's palm.
The fiery red light flow wrapped around the arms of Shad and Sister Devlin, and mottled cracks appeared on their bodies at the same time. The flame light flow flowed into the cracks of Shad's arm, and the rising fire made him look like
The whole person was on fire.
The flames melted the snow, revealing a faint light in the mist. "She" whispered in Shade's ear:
[Outlander, the original fire in your body has been further strengthened. 】
[You can feel the flames of the first fire in a wider range.]
[You have obtained the spell - Fire Attachment, which adds the power of the first fire to your weapon. 】
[When you light a bonfire, the physical and spiritual recovery speed and resistance within the fire range will be enhanced.]
[The power related to flames has been further enhanced.]
The flames gradually gathered around the two of them. Sister Devlin used her slightly burned hands to pull Shaa up. Her palms were very warm:
"Using the evil things in the Pantanal as fuel, I passively gained part of the power of the evil things, regarding the dying plants, but I cannot share this with you."
Shade smiled and shook his head:
"Sister, do I seem to be such a greedy person?"
The nun lowered her head slightly, her long gray braid swaying in the wind behind her back, and her silver eye mask reflecting the not-dazzling winter sunlight. She seemed shy, but also looked like her original self, but her voice was still so gentle:
"I gave Miss Anat some flames, and she can contact me at any time. She has already informed me about the arrow. You can decide on your own as to who will qualify for the fourth place."
Shade looked at the lake, and the nun continued:
"Although I am also the chosen one, this qualification was given to me by you. I agree with you on everything about the chosen ones."
Shade nodded, and while exhaling, white smoke was spit out like a long dragon. The temperature of the original fire was transmitted from the heart to the whole body, coupled with the blessing of the old god of winter, winter was no longer for him.
What an unbearable season it is.
He took out the pink perfume bottle from his pocket in a good mood, and then walked a few more steps towards the shore, while the nun quietly followed Shade. When his boots were slapped by the lake water, Shade looked
Toward the calm water shrouded in mist.
Suddenly a huge shadow flashed from below the lake in the distance. Just seeing the general shape of the shadow, Shade felt as if his heart stopped beating for a second.
The whispering elements spread in the fog, and the sound of women's laughter came from all directions. The sound of paddling got closer and closer, and a series of bubbles appeared under the water near the shore.
Suddenly, a small black shadow appeared from under the bubble, and then the beautiful woman's head emerged from the water. Her long black hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and water droplets slid down her fair cheeks toward the water.
She was very close to the shore, and the lake was still clear, but Shade still couldn't see the shoulder part under the lake. He carefully took a step back, then bent down and placed the perfume bottle on the water:
"I brought what you asked for."
The perfume bottle was half-immersed in the lake water, tilted and automatically floated towards the beautiful woman's head. Her purple eyes looked at Shade with a smile.
As the lake water was stirred, smooth arms with water beads stretched out from under the water. The pearl-like color even made Shade have the urge to take a bite.
"very nice."
The arm picked up the vial, and then a white arm dripping with water stretched out from the lake and pulled out the cork of the bottle. However, no matter what angle he looked at, Shade could not separate the head and the
Two hands are seen as coordinated parts of a complete human body.
The winter sunlight penetrated the hazy mist and shone on the raised vial. The pink bottle and the pearl-colored arms seemed to be glowing.
The arm held the bottle above the woman's head, and then the head slightly raised, the small mouth covered with lipstick and water opened, and the pink tongue lightly licked the lips. The bottle was slightly tilted, and the pink and transparent liquid with a strange fragrance The liquid, like some kind of gel, slipped out of the bottle and poured into the mouth.
"Hmm~"
Seductive moans gushed out from the mouth of the head on the surface of the water, which made Shade, who was watching this scene, really feel that he couldn't stand it. He bit the inner wall of his mouth with his teeth to calm himself down, and drank the [Desire] of the pink essential oil. , also smiled and gave an evaluation:
"A beautiful work of art, this kind of desire is really amazing. Unfortunately, only in the epic of the chosen ones can such quality be harvested."
Her beautiful purple eyes looked at Shade, and there was even water on her eyelashes:
"Even better than I thought."
"I did not do anything."
"But you've done everything."
She bit her lip with a smile and said, licking her lips gently with her tongue again:
"The desire of a demigod witch, even in the fifth era, is not so easy to collect. So, should I give you some extra rewards?"
The corner of Shade's mouth trembled slightly, trying to wake himself up. Compared with seeing desire at night, he saw that face more clearly during the day, and the impact was greater:
"You let us pass through the lake, and I gave you what you asked for. We are settled."
As he spoke, he stepped back. The woman's head did not stop him. Instead, he re-corked the empty pink vial, placed it on the water and pushed it gently. The perfume bottle floated along the lake to Shade's side. Underfoot, bumping into his boots:
"This is for you. You don't have to pick it up. It would be fun to leave it here and be picked up by others."
Shade could only bend down to pick it up, and decided to put it in the "God's Gift Box" and would never take it out easily.
"Interesting soul, if you need to see me, liquefy the crystal of desire, put it in a bottle, throw it into the body of water and call my name."
The "Mermaid" of [Desire] raised her head, and her head moved backwards in the lake, creating clear-cut ripples. A huge shadow flashed under the water again, but the whispering elements had begun to fade:
"Looking forward to our next meeting. What you need to understand is that when the final day comes, power knows no good or evil."
The head "slided" on the water into the fog in the distance, and gradually disappeared.
Shade held the small pink perfume bottle tightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to turn around and look at Sister Devlin:
"I probably lost my temper just now."
Although her back was turned to the nun just now, Sister Devlin did not rely on her eyes to see things, so she could definitely see Shade's positive expression.
"After all, it is an unknowable relic, and it is even more powerful than what is recorded in ancient books."
Despite saying this, the nun's expression didn't seem to change at all.
"But fortunately, she doesn't seem to be interested in you."
Shade said happily and stuffed the pink perfume bottle into his pocket. But as soon as he finished speaking, the shy girl-like voice came from the lake again, accompanied by a light laughter like a silver bell:
"How could I be interested in a piece of wood?"
Sister Devlin remained expressionless.
"Especially since she's still charred wood."
Shade turned his head to look into the lake in panic, but there was no trace of [Desire] in the mist. Sister Devlin's face was still expressionless. Shade admired the nun's self-control.
