The Whispering Verses Chapter 1314: Night Temple
Chapter 1314 Night Temple
I don’t know what Sister Devlin has been busy with recently. Since 1854, Shade has not been able to meet her every time he visited Cassandra Auction House. After this meeting, Shade learned that Sister Devlin had left Fort Midhill some time ago to assist Miss Aurora who was in contact with the [Earth-Shaking Worm] Order.
The old lady of Ilar was unwilling to hand over the god-summoning ritual easily, but finally agreed that as long as Miss Aurora helped her complete three things, the ritual information could be handed over to the Witch Council. And Sister Devlin went to assist the witch to kill a giant worm that was hiding underground and burned it as firewood.
Now there is only one last task left for Old Mrs. Ilar. It is expected that by the end of this month, Miss Aurora will be able to get the information on the God Summoning Ceremony.
Although Sister Devlin said it lightly, Shade could also understand the danger of this matter.
Waiting for the nun to finish speaking, Shade first talked about the current situation of the Randall Valley, and even mentioned the unknown demon, while the nun wearing a silver eyepatch just listened quietly.
The two of them were on the lowest level of the sacrificial site. In the empty circular sacrificial site, the stairs spread upward around the central open space. Most of the area of the sacrificial site is in darkness and shadow, with only the burning brazier in the center providing some light. The nun's sword, the angelic relic [Ashes], was inserted diagonally in the center of the brazier, letting the strange flames burn and lick it.
When Shade finished talking about recent events, Sister Devlin did not discuss who was most likely to be the chosen one of the earth, but said very indifferently:
"If it is one of the three ancient evil spirits and demons you mentioned, it can indeed become a good firewood."
Sister Devlin's usual indifferent tone is very different from that of Hai Oxenfurt. Although the tone is almost inaudible, the former can still feel the thoughts of living people and the emotions occasionally revealed in the nun's heart. It is like a smoldering flame, and the temperature can be felt even if the flames are not visible.
The latter is completely lacking in emotion.
As for the nun who also fell in love with the devil, there is no need to worry about her competing with the doctor. Dr. Schneider devours demons, and what he devours is the demon's power and most important core essence, while Sister Devlin wants the pure body.
Although the quality of the firewood will be reduced if the doctor takes away its essence, it will not affect the burning. For example, last year's demon Panni, who had the desire to proliferate, after defeating it, the doctor gave the demon's remains to Shade (Chapter 1047).
"So are you going to Randall Valley soon? There is also a statue of the ancient **** of space there. If you go there, you can come back at any time."
The nun nodded:
"According to your plan, first determine the identity of the devil and its hiding place. If you need me, I can appear there at any time. There is also a Snake Heart Hospital in the Randall Valley."
Shad finally mentioned "the sands of time soaked in the night". This time the nun did not give a direct answer, but thought silently for a while:
"Although the Sands of Time possess indescribable power, they are not the highest power. If the Sands of Time are immersed in the water outside the tidal flat where 'True Death' is embodied, the power of death can infect These sands allow the gravel of time to affect local time and bring about death that is more difficult to avoid."
In other words, the ordinary Sands of Time have the effect of increasing the probability of instant death.
"Is power pure enough to infect the Sands of Time? Real death is the end of all things and the essence of death. The mystery and personality are indeed stronger than the simple Sands of Time. Therefore, I am looking for is the most essential power of night. Isn’t that the old **** [Curtain of Eternal Night]?”
The city of eternal night where Fiona still stays represents the most extreme night. But Shade didn't think that if the Sands of Time were brought to that city and the ordinary Sands of Time could be turned into items required by the mission, then this would be too simple.
"But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Maybe it's really that simple."
While thinking, the nun’s cold voice sounded again:
"The pure night is related to the ancient **** [Sage of the Silver Moon]. After the ancient **** left, the authority of the night belonged to the old **** [Curtain of Eternal Night]. This old god, in today's third The Sixth Epoch has long since passed away, but the divine creation [Night] still exists. When the eras overlapped, it transformed into a relic contaminated with whisper elements, and was rated as angel level (level 1). If you want to try it, I can go to Dawn. The church will lend it out, which will take at least two months. This relic is strictly contained. Once it gets out of control, the material world will fall into a long and eternal night."
This is taking too long:
"Are there any other similar relics or special items?"
"Sage-level relic [Night Spring], the entrance to the ancient kingdom of the Third Age, the 'Kingdom of Ghosts', is rumored to be the entrance, but has long been lost. Sage-level relic [Night Blade], a complete weapon in the dark night The invisible long sword can be wielded during the day and can create darkness in a small area. It is rumored that it was once used by the old **** in the form of a saint [Curtain of Eternal Night]. The last time this weapon appeared was in 908 of the Sixth Age. Years later, there was no trace."
The nun only mentioned these two clues, but they seemed to be not as easy to obtain as the angel-level relic [Night] that was contained by the Church of Dawn.
"I'll think of other ways."
It's a pity that the [Immanence of All Things and Silver Moon] in his hand is not like the other four Rhodes cards. After he witnessed the ceremony of the chosen one, he gained some strange power. Otherwise, the power of the Impermanence of Everything and Silver Moon cards may not be the same. Can directly infect the Sands of Time.
"There are also very simple methods, but they may not be useful."
The nun suddenly said, Shade looked at her.
"Although the ancient gods have long gone away, the power of the ancient gods still affects the material world. You can try to visit the 'Night Temple', which is the relic left by the creatures of the material world worshiping the night in the ancient era. Try Praying to the gods may help."
This is indeed possible, and the so-called "Dark Night Temple" is not the ruins that Shade discovered in the Randall River Valley. That ruins are the ruins of worshiping the moon, and the "Dark Night Temple" is a prayer to the dark night. The ancient gods have quite complex powers. In addition to the cathedrals dedicated to the gods themselves, there are also sacrificial sites and temples that worship certain powers of the ancient gods alone.
"So do you know where the Temple of the Night is? It's best not too far. I have a lot to do in the Randall Valley area recently."
So Sister Devlin ordered other nuns to go to the library to search for information, and the results were quickly given:
"There are ruins of the Night Temple in the Randall Valley area, but the ruins are in the mountains."
The map was displayed in front of Sha De. Judging from the map, even if Sha De could find the road, it would take at least five or six hours to reach his destination from the city. Because the ruins of the 'Night Temple' are in the mountainous area to the east of the Randall Valley, it is an area that only hunters occasionally go deep into.
"In the mountains, I got guidance yesterday. If I want to get the truth of the sublimated words, I have to go into the mountains. Maybe I understand. Thank you for your help, Sister Devlin."
He took away the map and sincerely thanked Sister Devlin. The nun shook her head and returned to Fort Midhill with Shade.
Because the "big event" that Stone Oxenfurt said is going to happen tonight, visiting the ruins of the ancient Night Temple must be postponed to Friday or even Saturday, and Shade An additional guide is also needed.
Originally, Shade wanted to talk to Miss Benanis about this matter. If Miss Benanis had time and could fly, it might be faster to ask her to take him there.
But as soon as he arrived at Randall Valley that afternoon, Shade was intercepted by the witch in the Church of the Forgotten:
"Oh, Shade, where did you go this morning?"
As he said that, he took Shade’s hand and walked out:
"What happened?"
"The church has investigated the area around Lake Eldron you mentioned. I originally thought that there would be no situation until tonight, but now the results have been obtained. At the bottom of Lake Eldron, a A slight 'Crazy Earth' phenomenon. Black mud is now spitting out from the bottom of the lake, and that black mud will soon pollute the entire watershed. ”
She said quickly:
"The church is preparing for the ceremony urgently, planning to purify the pollution in the evening. But since you said something big will happen, the black mud may be just a precursor. Come with me to prepare, there may be a war tonight . I have also called Miss Luvia Annat to the Wilde Opera House. The power of the earth, the summoning stone statue, the fertility field, and the healing aura may be used together tonight."
The characteristics of the "Crazy Land" that appeared this time are different from the previous ones. The characteristics this time are relatively simple, that is, "polluted water sources." It's not that the black mud produces toxins or adds a curse, but it directly changes the concept of "clean lake water" to "unclean lake water". After drinking it, there are all possibilities.
Or to put it more simply, this time it is spreading a disease that cannot be cracked by ordinary people.
You must know that the Elron River, where Lake Eldron is located, is one of the two largest rivers in the Randall Valley area. It is also the most important source of water for Randall Valley City and surrounding villages and towns, and even other downstream areas. The city also relies on this river for water.
If it had not been discovered in time and the pollution had just appeared, the pollution itself would have been a big problem. The reappearance of the "Crazy Land" this time also convinced the church that there was probably some kind of trouble in the Randall Valley itself that mortals could not detect.
Even though the Church of the Sun has understood the "Crazy Land" since the last era and mastered the method of eliminating it, in an era when the murmuring poems of the Witch Emperors are constantly being performed and their accuracy is verified step by step , no one dares to relax their vigilance.
