The Whispering Verses Chapter 1105: Amount of pyroxene
In the shallow soil, a rotting female mummy was entangled by vines that were twisting like living creatures. And those vines covered with mucus and pimples seem to have penetrated deeply into this land and have coexisted with this land since ancient times.
After wiping away the ice crystals formed by blood and tears, Shade already understood what he saw.
Although the corpse was covered with extremely terrifying curses, just one look at it would not make him lose his composure. What really affected him were the vines. For Shade, who had been exposed to the power of "Pantanal Evil Things" from many aspects, those vines were simply labeled as evil things.
This large swamp is used to seal that terrible thing, but in fact there was a problem with the seal many years ago, otherwise there would not be an organization like the "Pantanal Voodoo Society".
Those vines are strange plants formed by evil things sealed in subspace and extending their power into the material world. Although the corpse looked like it had only been buried for a few hundred years, based on the unique traces of curses and whispering elements on it, if Shade's guess was correct, it was most likely the body of the relic [Swamp Witch].
[It should be the body. 】
He returned to Iluna, and the girl, who was in a better mental state, also jumped off the horse and listened to Shade talking about his discovery.
"In other words, after her tragic death that year, her bones were captured by the evil things in the Pantanal, so even if she became a relic, she still could not leave the Everglades?"
Eluna held Shade's hand and asked, Shade nodded, his eyes trying to search for traces of the woman who only showed half of her face in the wind and snow:
"Although there is no evidence, the fact that she became like this after death must be related to the evil things in the Pantanal."
I randomly drew a crack in the air. Behind the crack is the beach in front of the water that represents real death:
"If she hadn't been bound by the evil thing in Pantanal, I could have let her leave through this door and take the path she should have taken in the long past... Although the relic is difficult to annihilate , but at least it can liberate the soul that longs for freedom."
Xia De sighed slightly:
"We cannot save her unless the evil in the Pantanal is completely destroyed."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the [Swamp Witch] again.
She was behind the snow-covered rock not far away, still only showing half of her face, peeping at Shade and Iluna with a malicious expression. In the snowstorm, the messy hair that was almost stuck together was flying in the air with "open teeth and claws". Such a scene would only appear in horror stories.
After still pointing behind him and disappearing, Shade and Iluna led their horses and followed through the snow. This time, they found a cave that was difficult to detect behind the rock.
The cave has probably not been used by anyone for a long time, but miraculously it has not been covered by mud, wind and snow, nor has it been used as a nest by wild animals.
"Shad, I heard rumors in the church that there are some interconnected caves deep in the Pantanal..."
Eluna looked at Shade, who nodded:
"My acquaintances in Huntington also mentioned this kind of burrow (note)."
He and Iluna led their horses into it. The underground cave was not long, but within ten minutes they saw the light ahead. After walking out of the cave along the slope, there was a large lake in the snowstorm in front of them. The lake was not frozen in this cold winter. Instead, it was constantly swaying with the sound of wind and slapping against the shore.
In the middle of the big lake, there is an island shrouded in fog. You can vaguely see the dark shadow of the lighthouse standing on the side of the island. The light of the lighthouse is so reassuring in this weather.
Eluna couldn't see the fire, so Shade was convinced that the fire was the flame split from the "primordial fire". Through that strange cave, they arrived at their destination so easily.
"This lake is bigger than I thought."
Xia De sighed softly. If a lake of this size needs to be navigable, a large steamer will be more than enough.
"Are we there?"
Iluna said in surprise, looking back at the long and wet cave behind her:
"She actually pointed the direction for us..."
"Don't think about other things now. Since she helped us, we will come back to help her. This is the most original contract."
Shad in the snow withdrew his gaze:
"There are actually no ring warlocks from the Pantanal Voodoo Society, and no people from the Truth Society. But this lake may not be safe, and there may be fighting on the lake soon. I want to go to the island in the middle of the lake It’s not easy to watch the ceremony. There is still one final hurdle on this journey.”
At this time, there are still about two hours before the ceremony time given by the Prophet Association. The blizzard has weakened a lot around this eerie lake, but the lingering smoke obscures everything on the islands in the middle of the lake in the distance.
Neither Shade nor Iluna could tell whether someone had arrived here before them. They could only hear the howling night wind carrying snowflakes hitting the ground, and the dark lake was so eerie.
"What was the church's original plan?"
Shad asked Iluna, and the girl next to him replied:
"The first mission is to prevent the evil things in the Pantanal from returning to the material world. The Chosen One is the second mission. The church hopes that Sister Devlin and I can subdue Lykins Priscia who performed the ceremony. ."
The church's attitude is similar to Luvia's, and they both default to making Sir Prisha the fourth chosen one. The Five Gods Church and the three major academies are probably also very interested in the radiance of enlightenment when the ceremony is held.
"Is there any way you can confirm the location of the church's ring wizards?"
Eluna shook her head:
"Before departure, everyone carried a candle head with a similar function. As long as they were close to their companions, they would light up. But after entering the core area of the Everglades, this item became ineffective."
She took out the candle end and handed it to Shade:
"There are other powers in this area, and alchemical items with similar functions are prohibited."
Xia De nodded and thought for a moment:
"Leggins Prisha should be on the island now, and I think Ms. Pavo and the high-level warlock are also there. Since there are still nearly two hours, let's take a break... .Departure in twenty minutes."
After all, crossing the river and exploring the island also take time, so Shade did not leave more rest time.
Eluna nodded, but they did not retreat into the cave. Instead, they first used illusions to hide the light, then set up tents and bonfires, and set up a small camp on the shore. Because she still had to cross the wide water, Iluna did not cancel the skeleton horse that continued to consume her soul.
The horse lay docilely behind the seventeen-year-old girl, allowing Iluna to lean on her mount when she hugged her legs and sat down.
Shad looked after the bonfire, while Iluna looked at the island in the middle of the lake hidden in the clouds:
“I don’t know what will happen next.”
"I am more concerned about whether Lykins Priscia has obtained five pyroxenes."
Xia De only knows about four, but it does not rule out that he has other methods.
"They should all be found. The chosen ones are attracted by fate to complete their mission. Others take the initiative to find the secret keeper, but the secret keeper will take the initiative to find him."
Eluna said softly, looking at the fire in front of her and said softly:
"Shad, you also know that as the chosen ones continue to appear, I can gain more knowledge about the chosen ones. I feel that this ceremony is almost certain to succeed. This is... ..Almost irredeemable. But there seems to be other special rules for the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom. I don’t know what this refers to yet."
After finishing speaking, he took out blue teardrop-shaped crystal stones from the small bag on his waist. The number was quite amazing:
"During this period, the church also found a way to get some [Wise Man's Pyroxene], and the ownership has now been transferred to my hands. Plus what I got from the dice game and just now from the old lady who grows herbal medicine, and what you got through The Prophet Association gave it to me, and I have a total of six in my hand."
In other words, unknown to Shade, the church actually obtained three pyroxenes.
The crystal stone reflected the firelight and was held in Iluna's hand:
"Currently, I only have two of my own, and the owner can be transferred again. The others cannot be transferred, but..."
She motioned Shade to look at the bottom one pressed by her finger. At first glance, it looked like the others, but upon closer inspection, she found that it was actually in a gray petrified state.
The face of the seventeen-year-old girl showed a smile in the small bonfire:
"You gave this to me. Although you have signed the document, after getting it, I rejected your gift in my heart."
The pyroxene was re-sent to Shade by Iluna:
"The church didn't expect that I would refuse. It just asked me to keep it, thinking that it might be useful, and now returns it to you."
The pyroxene fell into Shade's hands and immediately returned to its crystal clear appearance. Iluna looked very happy:
"I worked very hard not to let the church find out. I will not ask for your gift casually..."
Bit your lip again:
"But I will still want a gift for the New Year."
In this way, Iluna has five pyroxenes in her hands, Shade has three in his hands, and Sir Prisha has a guaranteed four in his hands.
"The current functions of pyroxene are only the ceremony of the chosen one, and the sublimation ceremony on the island that draws the power of blood from time. If possible, Iluna, I really hope you can perform that ceremony, maybe Something interesting will happen."
"Compared to me, I think it is possible for you to borrow the rituals of Stonehenge and absorb the power of time."
Iluna carefully stuffed her pyroxene back into the small cloth bag:
"It must be meaningful for the church to let me carry these pyroxenes."
"Speaking of which, it was Luvia who helped me pack my luggage before departure, and she also put these pyroxenes where I could easily touch them."
Shad said softly, as if he saw Luvia's purple eyes in the firelight in front of him.
The strong wind blew against the shore of the lake, and the dark water kept lapping against the shore. The lake also reflected the dim firelight in the small camp. Snowflakes fell on the water and extinguished the firelight.
The howling wind was so cold, and the muffled sound of an explosion came again in the distance. Some small whispers reached Shade and Iluna's ears from the bottom of their hearts, but no one cared about them.
The wind is very cold and the snow is heavy. Shade holding the sword and Iluna leaning on the horse are both waiting for the upcoming decisive battle. The small camp was not warm but very cozy. Iluna Bayas curled up and looked at half of Shad's profile illuminated by the campfire with the corner of her beautiful eyes, watching the snow falling on Shad's face. Over her shoulder, a peaceful smile appeared on her face.
On the other side of the lake is an island in the middle of the lake in dense fog. There are strange creatures lurking in the lake, but the shore of the lake is so reassuring. Perhaps only dark, impasto oil paintings can describe this scene on a snowy night, which seems like an epic adventure of an ancient hero. For the physical world, many things will be decided tonight.
And in the depths of the Pantanal Lake in the distance, something flashed under the surface of the lake. It was a huge black shadow, but the falling snow clouds obscured the starry sky, and in the dim environment, all that could be seen was that it seemed to be the shape of a mermaid.
