Sister Devlin answered almost immediately. Shade looked at her, but the nun's face had no expression as usual;
"Shad went out to look for his missing friend. During that time, he fought with the enemy and was seriously injured. I happened to be there at the time and met his cat, who led me to find him."
This part of the narrative is indeed true, but what she described was what happened during the Battle of Sikal Mountain, and the two knew each other before that.
"He was seriously injured and had no choice but to ask me for help, so I gave him the power of the First Fire. This happened last year."
Shade recalled that after the Battle of Mount Sikal last fall, Sister Devlin took away his pocket watch with the Evergreen Leaf between it on the top of the mountain, and then knelt on one knee by the bonfire, holding the slender flame in both hands, almost begging.
The scene where he said with a trembling voice "I beg you, I beg you, touch this flame" (Chapter 807).
"This is how it is, I have no choice but to ask Sister Devlin for help."
He nodded and glanced at the nun again, only to find that she had no reaction at all.
Although Miss Winslet thought there was still something fishy about it, she was too embarrassed to carefully explore other people's privacy:
"So that's it, oh, how could you do such a dangerous thing? What would you do if Sister Devlin didn't find you? But I know your cat is very smart. The last time you asked me to take care of it, I
Found this out.”
Although Sister Devlin's sudden visit surprised everyone, since it was Miss Isabella who asked her to try to lift the curse, everyone was happy to have another chance to lift the curse.
This time the nuns only brought two blind nuns from the High Circle. However, they did not come directly from the mountain top sacrificial site, but first went to Willendale City through the mountain top oil painting, and then took a boat from Willendale
Came here.
Of course, in a big city like Willendale, the capital of the United Kingdom of Carsonry, there is a branch of the "Snake Heart Hospital".
Everyone had lunch together first, during which they were extremely curious about the story of Shade and the nun, and found that this was also a good opportunity to get to know Shade. Miss Winslet wanted to ask more about their story, but the silent appearance of the nun eating made her
Everyone was even embarrassed to talk at the table while eating.
Her temperament is indeed unique.
After lunch, he officially began to try to understand the curse. Shade originally wanted to suggest going to the forest to break the curse to prevent accidents from causing the same trouble as Miss Adele Isabella last time, but Sister Devlin slightly
Shaking his head:
"no need."
She spoke concisely and to the point:
"If you are with me, there will be no problems in the first fire."
Because there were two cursed people present, one had to choose one first when trying to break the curse. The red-haired girl and Miss Owl gave in to each other, and finally Miss Daniste chose to be the first to accept the "experiment."
The place where the curse was broken was in her room 317, with Miss Winslet and Miss Bell watching.
Miss Denister sat on the sofa, and the nun said softly:
"I need to observe the state of your soul first."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards his blindfold, but after a pause, he "looked" at Sha De, so under the slightly puzzled gazes of the other ladies, Sha De turned around in a wise manner.
【I think there is no need to describe her movements to you.】
The mithril eyepatch was removed by Sister Devlin, and her delicate face was slightly lowered, making the other three ladies couldn't help but look sideways. Then the nun opened her closed eyes and looked at the red-haired girl with her pure white eyes.
At that moment, she felt like her soul was being completely penetrated.
This gaze lasted only five seconds:
"I see."
The nun said, and Shade turned around after the sound of her putting on the blindfold stopped:
"How is it going?"
"This is a curse rooted in the soul related to the power of the ancient gods. Today's First Fire may not be able to resist it, but it is worth a try."
"What needs to be done? Do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
Miss Winslet asked curiously.
"No preparation is needed, Shade, it's up to you."
"How to do?"
"To burn and purify her soul."
It's easy to say, but it's also easy to do. The temperature and violence of the first fire are definitely not something ordinary mortal souls can bear, so both "fire-bearing nuns" and "fire-bearing heroes" require very special talents.
If Sister Devlin triggers the flames herself, Miss Danister's soul is in danger of being burned by the flames. But if Shad is used as a "transit station", then the intensity of the flames can be reduced to a barely acceptable level.
.
The specific method was to remove the furniture in the living room of the suite, and then the three of them stood together in a triangle shape. Sister Devlin held Shade's left hand, and Shade's right hand held Miss Danister's left hand.
After getting ready, as the nun lowered her head slightly, the palms connected to her and Shade immediately ignited a slender orange-red flame.
??????55.??????
The curtains were closed at this time, so the room seemed a little dark. After the flames appeared, other areas in the room seemed even darker, except for Shade's hand connected with the nun's which became brighter.
Miss Bell, who was standing next to her teacher, had reflected the color of the flame in her eyes, and there was actually a touch of blood on her usually pale cheeks:
"Teacher, that flame is so warm."
She said softly, as if she was talking in her sleep.
But Flora Winslet had no idea of touching the flame. She had felt the heat that appeared on Shade's body, especially the heat he showed in death, which was much better than this initial fire.
More
The flame burned silently, and the burn scar on the right hand held tightly by the nun and Shade shone slightly. And a bright crack appeared on the left hand held by Shade, but the crack did not spread to his whole body, it just penetrated
Passed through the chest and reached the right arm.
As the bright red crack appeared on his right hand, the flame also ignited silently in the palm connected to Miss Daniste. The red-haired girl let out a shenyin sound, and then her whole body trembled.
.
She was not ignited, but the cyan blood vessels on the back of her fair hands all turned bright red, and this luminous color extended to the depths of her sleeves.
It was as if infinite heat ignited her at that moment, and even the "Red Moon Witch" who had experienced countless battles and injuries could almost lose control of her body at this moment.
It was not exactly the so-called pain. The expansion of her soul and body brought about feelings that could not be described in words. The heat quickly made her fall into a semi-coma state, and when she regained consciousness, she found that she was being
Shade hugged him, his whole body was already soaked.
Everyone looked at her with some worry, but after regaining consciousness, Denister Gustave realized the changes that had taken place in her in just a few seconds.
It was as if she had taken a comfortable hot bath after being tired. At this moment, not only the fatigue of her body, but also her soul had been completely eliminated. She even felt that her soul had become purer under the washing of the flames.
"I'm fine."
Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she pushed Shade away. She felt her legs and feet were weak and had to hug Shade again:
"Sorry, some of my lost strength seems to have returned. I now have eleven rings."
"The curse has not been removed."
Sister Devlin stood beside the two of them and watched as Shade helped the red-haired girl sit down:
"The First Fire only suppressed the curse and allowed your power to return temporarily. But this situation will last until midnight tonight at most and then it will return to its original state, and if this method is used next time, the effect will become worse."
Shade's fingers lit up the silver moonlight, and the thaumaturgy [Cindia's Silver Moon Gift] healed the red-haired girl's spirit. But he didn't know that this was completely unnecessary. She was very full of energy at this time, even too full, but
The body is still recovering from the feeling of being "purified" by the first fire.
"Can't First Fire do anything about this curse?"
"The current initial fire is not good enough."
Sister Devlin corrected:
"The first fire in its complete state is enough to burn out such a curse, but it is impossible to find the remaining flames in a short time. If you can get the help of the Time Chosen One, you can find another split flame, which will be enough to solve this curse.
.”
Shade was delighted. This was the only method they knew so far that could eradicate the "time curse". Before, whether it was umbilical cord, paradox insect potion or anything else, it was all about delaying rather than eradicating it.
At this moment, he even thought about whether Luvia's time curse could also be eradicated using this method.
"That's great, Chosen One and finding another flame? I know."
After speaking, he asked the witch beside him:
"Miss Winslet, do you also want to try to use the First Fire to temporarily suppress the curse? Although it is not eradicated, since Sister Devlin came here specially, why not give it a try."
Miss Artist will naturally not disagree, and Sister Devlin will not object either.
So the three of them followed the steps just now and did it again, with Shade still acting as a "transit station" to deliver the flame of the purifying curse.
Even though Miss Winslet had been fully prepared because of Miss Daniste's performance just now, when the flames silently ignited from the hands held tightly by her and Shade, the infinite light and heat at that moment still made her die.
The cold and empty soul that has been affected for a long time is lost.
"But, the temperature is not as hot as last time."
In the blurred vision and delusion of being burned in a fire, she vaguely realized that the temperature that she had felt from Shade's body that "scalded" her soul was definitely not just as simple as the initial fire.
His soul has greater and pure light and heat, that is what she is looking for
At this moment, her consciousness seemed to have fallen into the boundary between reality and illusion. While trembling, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the strange man, and then she was surprised to find that he was looking back at her face with some worry. There was a clear look in his right eye.
