The statue of the old god [Sleeping Lord] has the image of a fat man without a face, maintaining the lifting or stretching movements. And the holy symbol is an indescribable whorl like a crawling snake, Shade
After taking one look, I felt sleepy, and I couldn't help but yawn.
This caused Mr. Bernhardt beside him to also yawn.
Shade held his breath and stretched out his right hand. When his fingers crossed a certain limit, the skin on his fingertips peeled off, revealing a bright golden mark that was not dazzling in the cracks.
Withdrawing his hand and squinting his eyes slightly, he saw that everyone else was looking at him. He hesitated and used an awkward posture with his left arm to block other people's sight. But considering Sister Devlin's "look"
It doesn't rely on vision, so it's hard to say whether this approach is useful.
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the statue and the holy symbol at the same time. Immediately, irresistible sleepiness came to his heart. Amidst "her" laughter, Shade fell on the table:
"As expected of Shen Mian"
"Then let's continue."
The owner of the mansion took his eyes away from Shade.
"What will happen to him?"
Bernhard asked in a low voice, pointing to Shade who was lying on the table.
"If he can wake up from his slumber, he can leave. But if he has been sleeping, he must stay here."
"Can't we take him?"
Sister Devlin also asked.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were stacked together, and he grinned, revealing his toothless mouth:
"The first card in the second round, my ante is"
(Little Mia is running.)
Shade had psychological expectations about what would happen after coming into contact with the statue of the evil god. Since this old god is called the "Father of Sleep", it is understandable that he fell into sleep after contacting its power.
In that endless nothingness, I stepped on solid ground. With the green land under my feet as the center, the wilderness under the endless night sky spread to all sides. The sea of stars hung upside down above my head, and the huge silver moon shone on Shade.
He knew that this was his dream. After all, this was the scene he saw most often in his dreams after coming to this world. Only this time, the wilderness under the silver moon seemed unstable. Shade could feel that he was
Falling into a deeper dream.
It was a dream of nothingness, a dream without consciousness and any thoughts.
[Then who should you turn to for help?]
Shade looked up at the moon, and "she" whispered softly in Shade's ear.
【Desire in the pool? She is looking forward to your call.】
she asked with a smile.
Shade shook his head, lowered his head slightly and watched the surrounding scene collapse:
"Sister Devlin has already said that when you encounter danger, you can move towards the direction of the flame (Chapter 637)."
The solid dream land collapsed and turned into points of light floating towards the starry sky above. The starry sky picture gradually shrank, only the silver moon was still so real.
"Fire?"
He looked at his hand. The red stone he had received from Mr. Thales at the Sikal Hotel. The stone from which a giant flying bird could be seen when looking at the sun, appeared in his hand through imagination.
【Outlander, you are about to fall into deep sleep.】
"She" reminded softly.
Shade nodded and looked at the silver moon above his head:
"I need guidance."
he said softly.
The silver moonlight was quiet and calm, and with Shade's words, the illusory yellow moon appeared behind the silver moon. The ground beneath his feet completely collapsed, and Shade closed his eyes and fell into a deeper dream. And the silver moonlight
Together with the yellow moonlight, it shone on his body and his hands.
"What a pity you still didn't ask for my help."
In a daze, he seemed to hear the voice of [Desire], but then his thoughts completely stopped and he fell into eternal sleep.
His consciousness fell into the deepest dark void, and one second seemed like an eternity. And in that deep darkness, the red stone in Shade's hand suddenly flashed red light.
The stone escaped from his hand and floated in front of him.
With a crisp bird song, the stone ignited flames. The flames spread around, illuminating the darkness. Light red, dark red, fiery red, orange red. The illusory flame colors showed hazy light and shadow in the dark void.
Chaotic yet gorgeous, the indescribable light illuminated the emptiness at the deepest level of consciousness. While Shade, whose consciousness fell into silence, was illuminated by the red light, he heard the most authentic voice:
"Shad Suellen Hamilton, open your eyes."
"Again?"
The fatigue made Shade reluctant to open his eyes after regaining consciousness.
What he heard was a hoarse woman's voice, calling him, and he could feel a grand and beautiful figure appearing in his consciousness.
The body that was originally "lying" in the void of consciousness gradually turned to a posture facing the hazy red light and shadow. "Open your eyes quickly, Shade Suellen Hamilton." was called again and again.
, Shade worked hard to overcome the influence of the evil god's power on him, and "looked" at the existence calling him in the void of consciousness.
The firelight illuminated his eyes, and what he saw was the blurry figure in the firelight. It was accompanied by the flames, and the flames were also accompanied by it. The beautiful and crazy figure was reflected in the pupils, and the gorgeous flames were in the red
In the deepest part of the light, a beautiful creature was wrapped, and around that creature, there were piles of burning human bones.
"Phoenix"
"Shad Suellen Hamilton."
The sound seemed to come from all directions, but the sound was not loud, but rather gentle. But there was also madness and restlessness in the gentleness. It might have been crazy, but it still obeyed the call and came here, waking up Shade from his sleep.
But Shade was not satisfied with this. He needed the help of this ancient man. A moonstone ring appeared in his consciousness, and he kissed the ring gently:
"May the yellow moon guide you - confusion."
The silver and yellow moons appeared in the surrounding illusory firelight. The cold light stabilized Shade's spirit and made the restless flames gentle:
"A stranger outside of destiny, I see new possibilities in you."
The beautiful figure in the fire seemed to really wake up. A little bit of fire light merged into Shade's body from the figure in the center of the light. He felt strength and satisfaction, and he realized that he was devouring the phoenix.
of flame.
The soul is delighted by this, but it craves more because of greed and gluttony. The sin of [sloth] truly becomes Shade's strength the moment he regains consciousness, and new sins are gradually becoming in the soul.
stable.
"The issue of life and death is imminent. I woke up at your call, but I couldn't last long."
This is an ancient language, speaking in a gentle tone:
"The narrow room is on the verge of collapse, and death is about to come to the city under the mountain. Go, traveler in a foreign land, and pull out the four nails sent to the real world from the place of death. They are four people who have risen from the dead. This cannot prevent the disaster.
, but at least it can buy you more time."
"I see."
Shade didn't open his mouth, but his voice appeared naturally in this empty space.
"The travelers who connect the present and the past, the Red Butterfly Twins, the Ash Sisters, the Angel of Death, the Blood Prince, the Witch's Successor, the Chosen One, the strong men in the material world gather here, and even the sight of the great ones is projected.
Come. Go, Shade Suellen Hamilton, and I will give you the strength to get through this difficult time, to fight sin with sin. But remember."
Shade felt that he was waking up, and the ancient one who had been here since ancient times also gave his final warning:
".Only death can fight against death. All mortals are mortal. All things are mortal."
Shade was about to wake up, and he also asked his last question:
"Excuse me, why did you use your body to suppress the passage on the top of Hazama Mountain?"
The Witch Emperor probably sealed the passage on the mountainside. After all, they are the real mortal managers of the fifth era material world. The Zhengshen Church only took action after discovering the problem. They are the guardians of the extraordinary order of the sixth era.
people.
Only the ancient one on the top of the mountain seems to have nothing to do with everything, but it seals the most critical passage. This responsibility is unimaginable to Shade.
"Because I've always been here."
"What."
"Humans worship mountains and forests, that's me. Humans worship flames, that's me. Everything in this mountain that humans worship, that's me. I've been here since I was born, from the Third Age until now. I am Sikal
Son of the mountains. I am with the mountains, the earth, and everything."
The firelight drowned Shade, and the endless power was like the mountains and the earth. In the firelight, he saw the phantom that represented everything in the Sikal Mountains, and saw the story of people and the mountains.
[Outlander, you have been exposed to the fire of the Phoenix, and you have obtained the spell "Fire Plasticity".]
[Outlander, you have been exposed to the fire of the Phoenix, and your body has stronger self-healing capabilities. 】
The Phoenix that suppresses narrow spaces is the original guardian of Mount Sikal. It is not a god, but the mountains are with it, and it is the son of the mountains.
