The passage leading to the seal is in the cave under the cliff, but not everyone has to go in. Some people must be left waiting outside to prevent their backs from being attacked.
Miss Aurora and Granny Cassandra must go in. Only they understand the seals left by the Witch Emperors. Among the remaining people, two high-level sorceresses and four middle-level sorceresses stayed behind.
Outside, Shade also stayed outside.
This was his own request. After all, he didn't understand the power of witches. While he had time and all the evil spirits nearby had been cleared away, it would be better to buy the corpse grass, Mingduolan and Mingdulan that Mr. Copus wanted to acquire.
Collect the black maiden flowers.
Compared with the route that Shade took when he entered the city last time in the narrow room, such plants are more common in the mountains. If the narrow room were not so dangerous, this place would be full of gold pounds.
So the group of people separated temporarily, and the big witches took most of them into the cave under the cliff. The six sorceresses who stayed on the cliff were all followers of Granny Cassandra, and naturally they all knew about Shad.
When Shade expressed that he wanted to take a look around, the brown-haired middle-aged eighth-level warlock immediately said that he could go with him.
"No, I'm just going to collect some plants."
Shade shook the sword in his hand:
"I won't go too far. If there is danger, I can escape myself."
In view of Sha De's performance along the way, they did not stop him.
The amount of the three materials purchased by Mr. Copps was very huge. Corpse grass alone was 200 pounds (approximately 90.72kg). Shade's [Toy Making] actually had an effect on spellcasting materials, but the effect was very poor. He collected
Some corpse plants tried it later and found that they could be turned into toys, but casting the spell consumes a lot of spirit, which is three times that of ordinary matter of the same volume.
As for the orchid that Mr. Copps asked for at a higher price, it would cost more to turn it into a small toy. The black maiden flower costing 20 pounds apiece could only be turned from a plant into a toy of the same size, or even
Can't even shrink it.
"Although the Mistress Flower is large in size, one flower is worth two Mias. The price of Corpse Grass is 3 pounds 7 shillings per pound, and the price of Mingtuo Orchid is 13 pounds 15 shillings 5 pence per pound. Even if it becomes the most
Even though it is a light stuffed toy, its weight is still amazing. Hmm."
He brought the [God's Gift Box] just to contain the plants. In addition to weekly gifts and containing relics, this box can also keep the plants fresh. This is not a commendable feature, because most container-type relics are
There is a similar effect. According to research, this is the influence of the whispering element.
"Collect more witch flowers and less corpse grass."
After thinking of a plan, he left the bare cliff and entered the forest alone.
The black forest is extremely terrifying, with charred trees and gray vines, like weird plants that can only appear after the end of the world. The power of death corrodes everything around it. Even though he has barely adapted to this place, Shade still feels uncomfortable all over.
.
"I don't know what's going on inside the boundary of my home. I must hold a ceremony to seal it tonight!"
In order to prevent himself from an accident, Xia De was careful not to go too far. It took him an hour to fill up the [God's Gift Box] he was carrying. Although this was not the upper limit of Mr. Copps' acquisition, Xia De
De knew how to be content with his content, so he turned around and returned to the cliff.
The six sorceresses were still waiting there. After seeing Shade come back, they were relieved to see that he was fine.
Miss Aurora and Granny Cassandra still didn't come back. Shade and the sorceresses waited for another hour. When there was still no movement, he proposed to go down and take a look. No one here could restrict him.
freedom, so although there were objections, Shade finally left.
The strangers can't fly yet, so they can only climb down the black cliff along the rope. The entrance to the material world requires parchment to open, and the special power of the witch is needed in the narrow room, so Shade used [Witch's
The light spirit rune shone for a moment, and he saw the dark hole.
The cliff cave in reality is already very dark and terrifying, and this passage in the narrow room seems to go straight to the bottom of the bottomless abyss.
This passage has the power exerted by the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Age, and it cannot produce any light to illuminate the eyes. In fact, even Shade's "Light Technique" can only produce a faint light the size of a grain of rice. Fortunately, [Darkness
After the action in "Field", he has a certain degree of dark vision, and the thick fog from the outside world does not exist here, so there is no need to worry about falling in this passage.
The further you walk inward, the more you can feel the howling wind blowing from the front. When you first enter the passage, the wind only brings a slight chill, but as you continue walking, the breath of death cuts your skin like a knife.
After walking for a full twenty minutes, I left the passage and came to the platform on the side of the large hollow in the mountain. In reality, a Balrog was sealed here, and the bridge connecting the platforms on both sides was broken. But here, a platform made of thick bones
A bridge was built to connect the two sides of the large hollow.
Those white bones seemed to be suspended in the air. At least based on Shade's understanding of mechanics, it was impossible to analyze their force conditions from a purely materialistic perspective.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but in reality, there is a bonfire in front of the bridge that corresponds to the Balrog seal. But when I got closer, I realized that the bonfire had just been lit. It should have been left by Miss Aurora and her group. The bonfire is not bad.
It is so strong that you can feel the warmth when you get close to it. Even your physical strength and spirit, which have almost completely stagnated, are slowly recovering under the firelight.
"The preparations are really sufficient."
After taking a short rest, Shade walked around the bonfire and stepped onto the Bone Bridge.
Stepping on it lightly with his feet, he immediately felt that the whole bridge was shaking. Then, a sudden and strange dizziness made Shade almost lose his balance and fall to the side:
"oh."
He covered his head and felt that the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning, but he was not spinning.
【There is a curse on this bridge.】
"This kind of curse that makes people lose their balance is simple, but it is really vicious in this scene."
Just thinking about how deep the abyss under the bridge was, Shade felt cold sweat break out on his back.
After he barely recovered, he took out the extract of weather vane bluegrass and put it on the tip of his tongue, trying to use [Raglai's Leap] to leave the bridge in dozens of steps. But this thaumaturgy failed, and this
Space movement is actually prohibited on the weird Bone Bridge, and the effect is very similar to Shade's [Space Stability Halo].
"Although she is arrogant and extravagant, the Witch Emperor is worthy of being a Witch Emperor."
He could only continue to move forward against the shrill black wind, trembling with fear every time he took a step. But before the dizziness ended, another abnormality occurred on the bridge.
The viscous and weird liquid seeped from the bottom of the bridge through the gaps in the bones and seeped onto the bridge deck. Those amorphous weird liquids were like some kind of weird creatures, and along with the whispering elements, they gathered together,
It formed a weird shape that was as big as a human being and kept shaking.
The appearance of this monster is particularly terrifying. On the surface of the squirming body, small granules are trembling constantly. And between the granules, white particles like acne continue to grow, explode, and then grow again.
The severe dizziness and the appearance of the thing in front of him made it difficult for Shade to resist the feeling of vomiting:
"Humanoid relics? What the hell is this?"
His right hand gently swiped in the air, and a bright trace of light flew forward silently parallel to the bridge, and successfully cut the body of the liquid creature. But it was useless. The other party's body could deform at will.
Combining it with one more wound is not a problem at all for it.
"How did Miss Aurora and the others get there just now?"
He raised the [Night Watcher] in his hand, but immediately put it down. The weird squirming thing was swaying slowly towards Shade, and the slippery sound was particularly obvious in the extremely quiet large hollow in the belly of the mountain. Shade
It is even conceivable that once the two sides fight in close combat, the other party will attach the mucus on his body to his body until he is completely "swallowed" into his body.
"Why would the Witch Emperors use such weapons? I always thought they only liked beautiful and expensive things."
He carefully took a step back and pointed his finger forward:
"Feliana's Witch's Light."
The power belonging to the witch bloomed at the fingertips. In the golden light, the steps of the liquid monster suddenly stopped, and the surface of the body was slowly melting. But judging from the speed of melting, even if Shade consumed all his soul,
Don't try to eliminate the opponent.
A crashing sound resounded on the bridge, and the dark chains of sin poured out of Shade's sleeves, and then easily tied the enemy's ankles, or it could be said that they were actively absorbed into the body by the opponent.
The power of sin polluted those liquids, but the most important thing was that the imprisonment effect of [Sin Chain] began to exert its power. Although [Sin Chain] was not very effective against the relic, it did make it temporarily difficult for the opponent to move.
Throwing the frog legs off the bridge, Shade bent slightly and ran forward for a few steps, then jumped up suddenly:
"ha!"
The excellent physical fitness combined with the power of the spell allowed him to pass over the head of the liquid monster. Maintaining the effect of the chain, he seizes the time to run to the other side of the bridge.
The bridge deck was shaking violently with his footsteps. When Shade finally stepped out of the bridge deck and came to the platform on the other side of the big hole, the dizziness disappeared almost immediately. Looking back, he saw the end of the [Sin Chain] lying on the bridge.
On the surface, there was no trace of the terrifying monster just now on the bridge.
"Hallucination?"
[It is not an hallucination, the traces of abnormal whispering elements have not disappeared.]
"It's really amazing."
After leaving the bridge just now, the light that had been suppressed since entering the mountain finally returned to normal. The light of the silver moon spread around, and Shade shook his fingers left and right, on the side of the cave entrance as he continued to walk in.
A stone tablet was found.
Upon closer inspection, the inscription is written in the language of the Fifth Era, probably left by the ruler of Witton, the Witch Emperor Violet Marshall:
【Dead end ahead.】
PS: With the help of the operations officer, I found a real big boss to recommend to each other.
