Shade asked worriedly. Sister Devlin seemed to bite her lip, but because her face was turned sideways and the lights in the Forgotten Church were dim, Shade couldn't see clearly.
[Yes, I bit my lip.]
"She" whispered in Shade's ear, which aroused Shade's endless imagination.
"It can be repaired. The Order retains its repair method. The most important original fire is still in the hands of the Order. But I need to collect materials."
"In that case, I'll give you this."
Shade nodded, then rummaged in his pocket and found a small piece of shiny metal.
This was the mithril nugget that I found while rummaging through the underground secret room for the "Four Seasons Gem" when I went to the Granger family's old cemetery. Shade was still thinking that this piece of metal would be enough to pay for his tuition until graduation.
Already.
"Use this to patch it up."
He couldn't help but put the small piece of mithril into the nun's hand that had slight burn marks. The cat lying on Shade's lap was not interested in inedible metals, so he didn't mind if Shade took the things at home.
Give it away to anyone you want.
Seeing that the nun was hesitant, Shade asked again:
"Are these not enough?"
Although the broken part is not large, there are cracks in the entire "crown". What's more, repairing such a high-level magical item cannot be done by melting the metal and filling it up, so it is normal to use a lot of materials.
Sister Devlin understood what Shade meant and wanted to refuse Shade's kindness, but Shade had already stuffed the entire mithril cube into her hand. To be honest, of course he was a little reluctant to part with it, but he also knew about the blindfold.
Meaning for nuns:
"Don't be polite to me. This eyepatch is so beautiful, it's a pity to leave scars. Besides, Sister, you don't want to be seen by others wearing a damaged eyepatch every day, right?"
Shade said, and then felt that his wording was a bit strange, so he changed his way of saying it:
"You said you are a fire-wielding nun, and I am the hero you have chosen to carry the fire. Then I hope you will pay attention to your appearance and don't appear in front of me wearing an unsightly blindfold. Can you accept this?"
Hearing Shade say this, Sister Devlin turned her head even more obviously. She even turned sideways and lowered her head slightly, pulling up the collar of her robe, as if she wanted to cover the side of her face. This look did not look like
Shade gave her a gift, but it seemed like Shade was bullying her.
[The second statement is even more exaggerated.]
"She" said softly in Shade's ear.
But Sister Devlin accepted the gift anyway.
We originally made an appointment to meet in this church at five o'clock sharp, but now the time has come, but Iluna has not arrived yet. So seeing that there is still time, Shade changed from the increasingly bad topic and took out the small stone
Mirror:
"And this, this mirror is the remains of Goethe, the Stone Mirror Demon. Oh, and that oil lamp, I put it in the basement, I will get it later, there is a sage-level relic sealed in the lamp - [Eternal Fire]
.Sister, you know fire better than I do, I think you must know what it is."
He also gave the mirror to the nun, then stood up and went to the basement again, preparing to take out the flame from the oil lamp.
Compared with the original fire, which has a strange appearance, that is, the flame center is round, and the slender flame tail is dragged upward, the appearance of the "Eternal Fire" is very ordinary.
In front of Shade, Sister Devlin sat there, holding the flame with both hands. Then, she lowered her head slightly, as if she wanted to "splash" the flame on her face, but in fact that delicate face was not
Without touching the flame, he slowly closed his palms until the flame was completely wrapped in his palms.
Fire, blazing flames burst out from the nun's fingers, and soon the flames enveloped the nun's hands. Shade even saw that the burn marks on the back of her hands became more serious.
But the nun did not let Shade help, but silently held the flame. For five minutes, the violent flames gradually subsided. When the nun opened her palm again, only the slender flames burning silently were left.
.
So, when Iluna, who came late, stepped on the steps at the door of the church, she saw at a glance in front of the pulpit of the ancient church, Sister Devlin held her hands together and raised them forward and bent slightly, while Xia Xia
De knelt on one knee in front of her, stretched out his right hand and touched the nun's palm.
The old church and dim light made this scene even more solemn and sacred. Iluna subconsciously stopped in her tracks, but then she reacted, coughed to indicate that she was here, and then walked in
In the church.
At this time, Shade had once again touched the blazing first fire. Brand new power appeared because the flames and firewood were thrown into the fire. Of course, because the quality of the firewood this time was far inferior to that of the "Pantanar"
"Evil thing", so Chuhuo only gave Shade detailed abilities such as flame strengthening.
"Good afternoon, Iluna."
After standing up and patting the dirt on his knees, Sha De greeted Iluna and then praised:
"The power of the earth move you used on Saturday was really powerful."
Iluna controlled her smile and said very reservedly:
"Actually, it's nothing. It just consumes a lot of spirit, relies on the power of the earth, and throws the fire of the sun. However, this thaumaturgy consumes a lot of money, and the range attack does not distinguish between friend and foe, so it has almost no use scenarios in urban environments."
"That's pretty awesome too."
Shade praised again, and Iluna nodded, a little embarrassed:
"How is your health?"
"It's completely fine, otherwise Luvia wouldn't have let me out so easily."
Shade smiled and then asked:
"Speaking of which, the church investigated and found out why the 'Bloodweeper' Hermons came to the local area this time? In the end, he was not caught. The appearance of him and his [Blood Spirit School] this time is really
It’s puzzling. I think it can’t be just to help the cultists, they are not so kind.”
"Oh, this investigation came out, thanks to Sister Devlin."
Iluna said, and then motioned for the two of them to go to the basement together:
"Based on the testimony of the [Blood Spirit School] Ring Warlock we captured, as well as the clues discovered during the battle between Sister Devlin and Hermons, the church judged that the [Blood Spirit School] came to the local area this time to obtain'
First-hand information on the transformation of non-life into life."
"Referring to those stone people? Wait a minute, doesn't the Blood Spirit School pursue the 'golden bloodline', give up the supremacy of flesh and blood, and instead pursue the transformation of stones into humans?"
Shade was very curious, but Iluna didn’t understand very clearly:
"This requires further investigation, but it is certain that it is related to the door they found leading to the [Creation Delivery Room]. Maybe they discovered the limits of flesh and blood, so they no longer plan to be human."
The seventeen-year-old girl made a little joke, and Sister Devlin added:
"When I fought against Hermons, I felt that a small part of his body was not a normal human being."
"Stone?"
Shade asked curiously:
"Doesn't he also have a heart of stone?"
The nun immediately shook her head:
"It's not a stone, it's a machine. I cut off one of his hands, and the bones in that arm were replaced by a brass metal structure. In addition, there should be other complex machines in his body."
Shade frowned, but the clues he currently had were not enough, so he couldn't guess what the [Blood Spirit School] was going to do. But this time, the [Blood Spirit School] should have gotten the information he wanted.
Maybe next time I see that thirteen-ring warlock who is good at escaping, he will really be "not a human being".
The three of them passed through the statue of the ancient god in the basement and entered the secret passage under the Night Temple. Then they entered the Butterfly Cemetery and walked deeper along the tomb corridor.
The exchanges along the way also let Shade know the current exchanges between the "Chosen Ones of the Earth" and the Zhengshen Church.
To put it simply, the guardians made an agreement with the church. When the earth is destroyed and the world faces an existential crisis, he will definitely appear to help. But other than that, don't think that he will appear at any time.
It's not that the "Guardian" doesn't like the church, but that he knows his responsibilities very well. Moreover, the guardians obviously value Shade more than the church.
The Church of the Five Gods would like to have further communication with the Guardian, but unfortunately they cannot contact the Guardian at all. The location of the "Heart of the Earth" cannot be reached by normal means, and the only known road at present is,
Shade didn't share his thoughts with others.
He didn't want others to step into Mr. Lehmann's cemetery casually. After all, it was the resting place of his friend.
Nowadays, although the "fragments of the Heart of the Earth" are given to the Guardians during the Chosen Ceremony as an artifact symbolizing the power of the ancient gods, now that the Earth has been purified, you no longer need to be "heavy enough" to enter the Heart of the Earth.
.
In the culvert at the end of the underground tomb, what was on the ground was no longer a pitch-black quagmire, but a bottomless pit that seemed to be connected to an abyss. The three of them jumped in one after another, and after a short fall, they came
Arriving at the magma lake at the center of the earth.
Compared with the last time I came here, except for the fact that black mud no longer falls on the dark rocks in the center above the magma lake, nothing here seems to have changed.
It was only when the three of them walked along the slender stone path from the edge of the magma lake to the center of the lake that they discovered that there were actually two oblique cracks on the huge dark rock.
The guardian knelt on one knee in front of the irregular slender stone pillar erected in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. After noticing the arrival of the three people, he first gave Sister Devlin the power to step into the "Heart of the Earth" at will, and then stood up to greet them.
