The three people who stayed behind at the ruins each had very few personal belongings that represented memories. That ring was related to Karis’ love in his youth.
"These three people are indeed admirable people."
Shade said softly, then suddenly froze, turned and looked at the corner behind him. The silver moonlight in his hand illuminated the place, but there was nothing there.
"I just felt like, why is there someone looking at me?"
[I felt it too, but it was very vague and I didn’t know what it was.]
"Is anyone here?"
Shade shouted softly, but did not receive any response. After confirming that the thing that was peeping at him just now disappeared, he continued to check the contents of the coffin.
He did not touch the urn, let alone the ring, but carefully studied the map in the letter in his hand. The map was very detailed, and he easily found the room where the group of people walked, where the gargoyles and mirrors were stored, and based on
Direction and found the room where the [Maze Candle] is located.
There was originally a trap in that room. Once someone broke in rashly, the ruins would release a deadly alchemical poisonous mist. But it was probably modified by [Mercury Blood] and used a safer relic as a guard.
Shade cannot go back to that room, otherwise he will fall into the maze again, but this time there will probably be no butterflies to help him.
Fortunately, although the current tomb room only has one door, there is also a secret passage that leads to the room where the [Corpse Tree] was suppressed. At the same time, there are not only dangerous trees in the room, but also the holy symbols and statues of the old gods.
And【God's Gift Box】.
Shade's mouth trembled:
"As expected, the most dangerous things will be put together. However, now is not the time to hesitate. Find the [God's Gift Box] quickly so that I can help them."
Following the map's prompts, Shade found an inconspicuous stone brick with the Holy Emblem engraved on the wall of the tomb. He pushed it inward, and then the stone wall around him suddenly rotated, revealing a dark passage.
Walking along the passage, it was not a straight road, it kept turning. Even if the pace was fast, it took a full five minutes to reach the end. The light of the silver moon illuminated the stone wall in front of him, and Shade hesitated for a moment.
Put the weathervane bluegrass extract diluent on the tip of your tongue, then light the few remaining candles, and then find the stone lightly engraved with the holy symbol.
After pressing hard, the stone wall in front of him opened again, and outside the stone wall, there were strange blue lights.
Climbing out of the secret passage and looking around, the new ruins room was more than three times larger than the room where the gargoyles were placed. It was like a huge cavity in the ground. The ground was uneven, and countless tree roots were crawling under the floor. Giant trees
Standing in the center of the room, the tree crown covered the entire ceiling of the room, and the branches were forced to bend because the rock wall above the head was not high enough.
The tree vines hang down from the crown of the tree. The vines themselves are shining with blue light. It is these lights that illuminate this place, but it also makes this place look extremely weird.
【You have come into contact with "Whispers".】
"Is this tree the relic?"
The tree itself had no reaction to Shade's appearance. It stood quietly in this underground space that was somewhat smaller than the tree itself, as if it had always been like this from eternity to the present.
Probably because of the existence of this tree, the musty smell in the ruins finally disappeared. But this means that this tree is still "alive" and has not starved to death in thousands of years.
Looking into the depths of the room, there is a high platform with three steps standing in the corner. On the wall of the high platform, there is a metal holy emblem. On the high platform under the holy emblem is a statue of a god with no facial features and wearing a robe. The statue holds a
Holding a box.
The statue of the god and the holy symbol seemed to have no power, and were illuminated by the blue light dotted by the vines. Even from a long distance, Shade could still see the exquisite straight lines spreading on the six sides of the cube bronze box, like
Circuit diagrams also have a different kind of order in chaos.
Glittering seven-color gems were inlaid on the nodes of those straight lines. An inexplicable impulse made Shade want to reach over the canopy of the big tree and touch the box, but he still held back.
[There is a ring warlock nearby.]
"Where?"
[Ahead, in the shadow on the left.]
Shade squinted his eyes and looked in the direction "she" pointed. Sure enough, he saw a figure standing in the shadow under the tree in the dimness, looking up motionlessly at the crown of the tree.
Judging from the body shape, it was a man, so it could not be Miss Bayas and Miss Anat. Shade calculated the time until the end of 47 seconds and walked quickly to the man. He did not dare to get very close, fearing the unreasonable "second
"Six Senses" will make the other person aware of you.
Holding his breath, the light of the silver moon lit up in his palm, and as the candle was extinguished, it struck the man with his back to Shade.
The moonlight made no sound in the sky, appeared silently, and when it hit the stranger's back, it made the sound of hitting a metal plate.
The cautious Shade had once again concealed himself with the candle in his hand, ready to jump in space at any time. He saw liquid mercury flowing out of the wound on the stranger's back, but he remained motionless.
The strange situation made Sha De take a few steps back and turned to look at the exit of the room. Unexpectedly, the person under the tree turned around stiffly at this moment. Those silver eyes shocked Sha De:
"Are you the guy who broke in here?"
His voice was very hoarse and weak, and his face was as pale as a ghost.
The candle was still burning, but he actually looked directly into Shade's eyes. Shade knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he took the initiative to extinguish the candle:
"Who are you?"
To remind the other me to be ready to burn my divinity at any time, I held the talisman in my pocket with my left hand that could resist the evil eye [greedy silver] provided by Miss Bayas.
“‘Silver Eyed One’ Diack.”
Following his voice, a rustling sound came from the tree crown above his head. Some vines slowly drooped, and a faint blue light illuminated the two people standing opposite each other under the tree.
Only then did Shade finally see seven or eight thick, non-luminous vines hanging down from the tree crown, piercing deeply into the back of the silver-eyed man. Under those faint blue lights, the silver-eyed man, the three-person
The Nine-ring Warlock, whom everyone regarded as a great enemy, now looked like a decadent middle-aged man with a stooped figure.
He looked pretty bad, with vines digging into his back, connecting him to the tree behind him. The tree seemed to be "absorbing" him, literally.
He looked at Shade, his dim pupils seemed to have no soul:
"Who are you? The Church of the Righteous God? Or the Ring Warlock who came simply for that sage-level relic?"
Asked in a hoarse voice, Shade shook his head:
"neither."
"It doesn't matter who you are, why don't you stay with me."
He opened his mouth, and mercury shot out of his mouth like an arrow, heading straight for Shade's face. But Shade, who had been prepared, turned to one side and easily dodged, and at the same time, silver mist rose up,
Shroud him in it.
The silver-eyed man did not continue to attack, but continued to make a hoarse sound from his throat:
"It's useless, no one can run away."
The faint blue light shone on his face, making him look as scary as a ghost. Shade, who was in the silver mist, noticed that only his toes were in contact with the ground, and his entire body was actually lifted up by the vines.
.
Shade did not continue talking to the other party. He held the gold necklace around his neck and controlled the area of the illusion. If you want to touch the box held by the statue, you must pass under the canopy. What is the situation of the silver-eyed man now?
It's hard to tell, but there's definitely something wrong with this tree.
He wanted to expand the range of the illusion to be large enough, and then cooperate with [Raglai's Jump] to reach the height of the statue to prevent it without disturbing the [Corpse Tree].
"Do you know the Blood Spirit School? You all think that I am a madman, and they are the madmen. The guy who was sent activated the tree for the corpse of the ancient ring magician who was swallowed by the tree. Haha, who
Even if you can't run away, what will happen if you run away? The evil god is about to come, and you won't be able to survive if you get out."
"Do you think the Zhengshen Religion has no preparations?"
Shade in the silver mist retorted, but unexpectedly the other party laughed, and his silver eyes scanned the mist:
"Lawrence, the church discovered that Lawrence is a vessel for divine descent. But that is the vessel we prepared for the cultists of [Lord of the Blood Feast]. Do you think that the cultists themselves did not have second-hand preparations?"
Shade, who controlled the illusion, frowned:
"There is also a second mortal body for the gods to descend from, etc."
His eyes widened slightly, and countless clues were connected together at this moment. The back of the doctor leaving the banquet seemed to appear in front of him:
"Could they be the doctor's two bulimia patients?"
He shut up and stopped talking to the silver-eyed man, and finally understood the reason for his uneasiness tonight. Now the silver-eyed man was injured by the relic, and the ring magician of the [Blood Spirit School] was fighting with two ladies outside. His uneasiness
Not because of the trip to the ruins, but because of the evil god.
But having extra divine descending containers does not mean that accidents will definitely happen. After all, the church also controls the banquet. Without the "blood banquet" as the basis of the god summoning ceremony, the [Lord of the Blood Banquet] would not be able to appear anyway.
.
"We need to settle the underground matter as soon as possible and ask Miss Bayas to inform the church of the news to prevent long nights and nightmares."
Shade thought in his mind, holding the gold necklace in his hand to control the silver mist and thinking about the continuous expansion of the surroundings.
Under the faint blue light, neither of them spoke anymore, and the one with silver eyes even closed his eyes on his own initiative. Only the vines behind him were constantly squirming, as if they were absorbing something from his body.
A few minutes later, the silver-eyed man opened his eyes again and looked at the fog that had become larger:
"I figured it out."
The luster of mercury floated on his body surface, and finally converged on his back. In the silver pupils, a crazy look finally appeared:
"The people of the Blood Spirit School threw me to this tree for the body of the ancient ring magician. If I die, then everyone here will have no chance of living."
A human figure made of mercury appeared on his back, faintly overlapping with his body. The Silver-Eyed Man once summoned a huge mercury giant to fight against the Church Ring Warlock team in Lakeview Manor. Now his power has further declined.
Therefore, it can only summon a life-sized mercury humanoid:
"Stay with me."
The mercury humanoid with the same appearance as the silver-eyed man separated from his body, and the faint blue light of the trees and vines made the mercury floating on its surface shine.
The mercury humanoid looked towards the silver mist.
Boom~
An approximately round metal ball was thrown out of the silver mist. After landing on the ground, it emitted steam and spun around.
The man with silver eyes lowered his head and looked at his feet.
Boom~
The steam bomb exploded at the feet of the silver-eyed man and the quicksilver humanoid.
