The Whispering Verses Chapter 1228: Church Tomb
Chapter 1228 The Tomb of the Church
The old man sighed softly, using the Kasenlik language with the Randall Valley accent, but he stood there without sitting down. Shade did feel the elements of enlightenment and miracle, and the face looked extremely familiar, but he could not definitely judge the relationship between this old face and the middle-aged Miss Perry. The age gap was really too big.
The witch was still standing there, Shade tugged on her sleeve, and the two sat down together. The old woman wearing a nun's robe smiled and looked at Shade:
"Young people, I don't know why you came here, but it is certainly not lost or in danger. The earth likes you, and it is indeed time. If you desire the power of the earth, I can give it to you. Have a good time! ?br/>
"What is the test?"
Miss Benenice asked softly, and the old nun finally sat down by the campfire. She sat on the other side of the unicorn and smiled and stroked the little beast. The latter was very docile and willing. Touched by her:
"The earth will choose its own agents, and the soil and stones will tell us everything."
"Agent of the Earth."
Shad was worried that she would take out the light that could turn people into giants, but fortunately the old man just picked up a small stone from the dry ground beside the campfire. He put his hands behind his back, then made fists with both hands and stretched them out, handing them in the direction of Shade and Miss Benanis:
"Tell me, where is that stone?"
The old eyes looked at them with a smile, as if they were joking with the young people they met on the street. According to normal thinking, the answer to this kind of question is of course not limited to "left hand" and "right hand".
Miss Benenice was shocked. She didn't expect that the so-called "test" was actually like this. She couldn't think of an answer for the moment, so she subconsciously looked at Xia De, but Xia De didn't think about it, but asked softly:
"Are you a Sister of St. Perry?"
"That's what they call me."
The old nun said, looking at Shade kindly, before he asked, she smiled and nodded slightly:
"I have died long ago, and my soul has reached its end. This is just a fragment of the remaining magic, a record and memory engraved on the earth."
Xia De opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask the other party if he still remembered him.
Miss Benenice doesn’t know Shade’s complicated thoughts at this time:
"Hamilton, do you know where the pebbles are?"
"I don't know, but I can give it a try."
Ordinary stones are not perceptible, and since it is a test of a nun who was canonized by the church in the fifth era, cheating is obviously wrong. Shade touched his pocket and took out the silver cube left by Mr. Thomas Granger.
And this time, as the Silver Cube heated up slightly, the second story of Randall Valley was finally revealed to Shade:
[St. Perry Cemetery—
A nun in the fifth era, in order to save the crazy earth, her body and soul suffered terrible pollution. When she was dying, she voluntarily was taught by the church to seal the body outside the Randall Valley, and retained her own power to suppress the terrible black mud. According to rumors, when you walk alone in the creek outside the Randall Valley at night, and get lost or encounter danger, the power of the dead nun will help innocent people with good intentions. A few people are qualified to face the nun's test and gain and inherit the power of the earth. 】
Densely dense letters appeared on one side of the cube. Shade read out the letters. Miss Benanis frowned slightly:
"Is this the truth about St. Perry's Cemetery? Is this actually a seal?"
"It is indeed different from what we thought."
Shad nodded, but the witch still didn’t understand:
"But is this information of any use to the current situation?"
"Of course it works."
Shad already knew what he should do, and the firelight illuminated his face:
"Since St. Perry's cemetery is actually the seal of the Church of the Sun and Earth in the Fifth Era, it means that the situation in the cemetery is worse than we can imagine. That St. Perry is impossible She opens the seal at will, so rather than choosing people who resonate with the earth, she is choosing people who can solve or suppress those pollutions. ”
The witch blinked:
"That makes sense."
She doesn’t know that Shade has faced countless similar things in the past and present:
"So, the truth about looking for stones is that we have to show our strength and prove that we can fight against that kind of pollution. The stones are not important, but the method we use to find them is important. Last night, the [Blood Spirit School] The two of them obviously encountered similar things, but they just don’t know where they went wrong."
"Your spell [Power of the Earth·Healing Aura] seems to be only usable on polluted land. Does a stone count?"
The witch said with some worry, Shade shook his head slightly:
"As long as you show enough purifying power, it's enough, yes, it's enough."
He thought for a while and said to the unicorn:
"Close your eyes." (ancient Elvish language)
So the curious little beast closed his eyes obediently.
"Miss Benenice, close your eyes. Yes, you must close them tightly. It is best to cover your eyes with your hands."
Although the witch didn't know what Shade was going to do, she still closed her eyes tightly. Then, she heard the man’s slightly serious voice:
"Silver Moon!"
The sudden brilliance almost made her think that someone was using a thirteen-ring miraculous magic like [Eternal Blazing Sun] nearby. But my body didn't feel any heat. Instead, I felt the gentle wind blowing on my cheeks.
"That's it."
Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see that the surrounding ground, tents, treetops that were not shrouded in white mist, and even the cluster of flames were all covered with a faint silver glow.
On the pure white hair of the little white beast, dots of silver light flickered, making it look at him curiously. Shade's clothes and Miss Bernice's robe were also dyed with the glow of holy silver. She could detect how holy the light was. It was as if someone had built a small sanctuary here, as if she were in a church of some god.
"What kind of magic is this?"
"Light spell."
Xia De briefly introduced, looking at the surroundings filled with dots of light. The old man's body was also dyed with the light of the silver moon, which of course included her two fists. The only thing nearby that wasn't stained with a silver glow was a small patch of land in front of Shade.
He dug through the frozen hard soil and twisted out the stone.
Only when I touched the stone did I notice a power very similar to the "Crazy Earth", but it was quite slight. Shade crushed it and threw it into the bonfire nearby, watching the flames with the power of the first fire destroy it:
"I think this should be regarded as passing the test, right?"
Xia De asked.
The old nun smiled and nodded:
"Okay. But are you sure you really want to gain the power of the earth? Next, you have to face fears that mortals cannot imagine."
"Of course."
Shad stood up and pulled Miss Benanis up as well.
"Please follow me."
The old woman stood up and led the way, entering the fog again. Shade picked up the [Night Watch] and followed her into the fog with Miss Bernice, but the little beast was left behind. Shade asked it to help take care of the witch's sleeping followers.
The composition of this heavy fog is quite complicated. Neither Shade nor Miss Benanis can see through the things outside the fog. But they could always see the old woman in the fog. After the three left the camp, they walked one after another through the snowy mountains and forests in the fog for less than ten minutes before stopping.
The trees became sparse in front, and a small church standing in the sparse creek forest actually appeared in the fog. The churches of the five righteous gods are different in terms of architecture and decoration style. The old gray stone church in front of you is undoubtedly the [Church of the Sun and Earth].
"There is absolutely no such building in this area."
Miss Benenice said softly, that is to say, if it were not for the guidance of the old woman, no one would be able to find this place.
The door of the church was closed tightly, and there was a harsh sound of "squeak~" when an old woman in nun's uniform pushed it open. This church, built in the fifth era, has standard country church specifications, which means there is only one main hall, and the main hall occupies more than two-thirds of the church's area.
After entering the door, I saw rows of stone benches arranged neatly. Looking past the stone pillars supporting the ceiling, I saw the saint hanging "The Old Man with the Lamp" hanging on the wall deep in the main hall facing the door. emblem.
However, under the Holy Emblem, where the pulpit should have been, is now a gray stone coffin suspended in mid-air, locked by eight chains. In addition, the interior of the church is a bit gloomy, and the candles that are lit as the door opens are all cold blue. It is obvious that the so-called "saint's cemetery" is the church itself.
As he entered the door, Shade immediately noticed the problem with the land where the church was located. Although he didn't know where this was, it was obviously "polluted" here, and the degree of pollution was much stronger than the two "crazy lands" he had encountered in the Randall Valley.
The old woman who led the two people in disappeared silently at some point. Miss Benanis looked up at the whole church outside the church, and then followed Shade in with some worry:
“The pollution in this land does not appear to be petrified, nor does it appear to be the gathering of evil spirits.”
"The source of pollution is there."
Xia De looked at the coffin. Although the eight chains were there, each one was extremely rusty. The seal has not been unlocked, but it has reached a very dangerous situation:
"I think the form of pollution here should be related to the contents of the coffin."
"Contaminated remains of church saints?"
Miss Benenice asked, nodding slightly and then said:
"If this is your opponent, leave it to me. You will purify the earth, and I will unfold the mystery to deal with the things inside."
Under normal circumstances, the eleventh-level witch is much stronger than Shade, so Shade did not refuse:
"Be careful, after all, it is the contaminated remains of a saint passed down from the previous era."
