The Whispering Verses Chapter 1332: River valley and mountains
Chapter 1332 River Valley and Mountains
Compared to Shade, who had been running around all morning, the two ladies in the opera house were a little more leisurely. After all, the opera house did not open its doors early in the morning.
But the opera house was not deserted in the early morning. The actors who did not perform last night had already started to practice their voices on the stage early, or recited their lines alone in the dressing room.
Because the entire Wilde Opera House now belongs to the Golden Dawn Opera Company, you can encounter actors doing morning exercises in all kinds of strange places.
In the stairwell, Shade met two actresses who were holding wooden swords and slashing at each other in slow motion. The girls also smiled and greeted Shade. Now Shade is very familiar with the members of the Golden Dawn. .
"I have already seen the map provided by Sister Devlin. Although the Night Temple is in the mountains, if you find the right way, it won't actually take you a whole day."
The witch in the morning had a unique sense of laziness when she spoke. Miss Lassus was bending over to look at the map. Shade held the teacup and said:
"If we can reach the ruins in half a day, we don't have to fly there."
After all, the Randall River Valley is a troubled time now, so try to keep a low profile.
"I recommend riding a horse."
Miss Benenice drew the route on the map with a pen:
"If it is not winter, it is actually the most convenient to take a boat equipped with a steam engine to go upstream. The ruins are in the mountains near the Elon River. Fortunately, the ice is still frozen, and finally When there is heavy snowfall, walking along the river is still the best way for a short period of time.”
"How long does it take to arrive?"
Xia De asked, also stretching his head to look at the map:
"Can we arrive before noon?"
"If we leave now, that's about right."
The witch said, in this case, it would be almost the same time that Shade went from the ruined tower in the mountains of Sikal Mountain to the higher Red Water Camp.
"Okay, let's set off now and try to get back before dinner."
"No problem, I'd better accompany you to prevent you from encountering danger in the mountains."
As if she was afraid that Shade would misunderstand, she added another sentence, which made herself blush.
Miss Lassers smiled but did not reveal her thoughts:
"So today I'm staying at the Wilde Opera House to take a break. I'm really tired from running around all day these days. Speaking of which, Shade, we still gained something."
She looked at Shade again:
"Some evidence shows that the guardians' soul state is definitely abnormal."
"Of course, a normal soul, even if it was a magician during life, would never be so powerful."
The soul strength of the three guardians Shade met was quite terrifying. Although they were not comparable to him, they were also the strongest souls he had ever seen. Moreover, the soul strength of the three people is almost the same.
And when I thought about this, I also thought about what Stone Oxenfurt once said during the wedding in the countryside. The mortal souls of the guardians can actually resist the corruption of ancient evil forces. Now that I think about it, he probably means that the guardians have had confrontations with demons more than once. Thinking about it this way, the truth about the guardians is more complicated than all the current inferences combined.
Of course, they definitely did not become tainted with divinity because they came into contact with the legendary "Heart of the Earth". Shade's induction of divinity is unmistakable.
Based on the experience of searching for "St. Perry's Cemetery" in the forest creek last time, before setting off this time, Miss Benanis enchanted the hooves of the two horses to prevent them from falling on the ice. slippery.
Then the two set off from the city on horseback and followed the last route to Qingcao Farm. Then they came to the Ailong River from the small dock and continued running towards the mountains in the east.
Osenfurt Manor is also located along the Elrond River. Last time Shade and Stone Oxenfurt had a horse riding competition, they crossed the Elrond River through a bridge.
When he saw the manor that seemed to be shrouded in clouds from a distance, Shade mentioned this matter to Miss Benanis. The witch looked at the manor from afar, but mentioned another thing to Shade:
"Margaret has done very well recently. After she obtained the original shareholding document of Guardian Fleming from you, she successfully contacted the senior officials of the Stonemasons Guild. In addition, she assassinated Prince William's old Huck has managed to win over a small number of people in the association. Although I can't say that I have successfully completed my mission, at least everything is moving in a good direction."
Xia De felt relieved.
Nothing happened to block the journey along the way, and the further you walked away from the city, the more you could appreciate the scenery of the Randall River Valley. When they arrived near their destination, the time was earlier than Miss Benenice expected, and it was only just half past twelve.
The two of them were a little tired from running around all morning, so they camped next to the river to rest. It happened that Shade's "Fiona's domestic servant" still had two opportunities to serve in the kitchen, so the two of them just lit a fire to keep warm and summoned lunch directly.
While eating, Shade still held the note with a stick-figure smiley face on it, and complained to Miss Benanis:
"Obviously it corresponds to the spirit rune of [Lazy], but in fact this thaumaturgy does not make me lazy at all. If I want to use thaumaturgy, I have to spend a lot of gems. Therefore, in order to be lazy, I must work hard to Make money. Why is this thaumaturgy related to [laziness]?"
The witch just smiled and listened to his complaint, thinking it felt great to camp in the snow like this.
And Shade also realized that in fact, all of his miraculous powers of sinful spirit runes conflicted with the spiritual runes themselves. The insatiable desire for gluttony corresponds to the feeling of fullness; the sin of greed, which desires everything, requires only loving one kind of object; the desire for laziness, which is unwilling to move a finger, requires working hard to make money in order to afford domestic servants; and finally, What is outrageous is that the original sin of wrath, which is to hate others and whose heart is forever burned by fire, has the name of the thaumaturgy of "calm" posture.
Xia De is curious about what kind of thaumaturgy he will choose to learn if he can obtain the "Sin Spirit Rune" again.
After lunch, Miss Benenice used the compass to calibrate the direction, and the two of them left the river and walked toward the dense forest.
There are already mountainous areas nearby. Not to mention riding horses, it is very difficult for the horses to walk. Therefore, they left the two horses in the forest, tied them to the trees, and set up charms to repel wild animals to prevent them from being eaten by hungry wolves in the mountains.
This was not an unnecessary worry, because the two soon encountered a brown bear in the forest that did not hibernate for some reason.
The brown bear was at least two heads taller than Shade. After seeing the two men from a distance in the forest, he immediately rushed over in a hunting manner.
"Moonlight Wheel!"
Shad raised his palm, and the silver light wheel rotated and formed in his palm, and then he threw it directly. Inheriting the high attack power of [Moonlight Slash] and the tracking ability of [Confinement Halo], the rotating light wheel cut across the brown bear's neck. While the bear's body continued to rush forward, its head had already landed on the snow.
"Oh!"
From the brown bear's neck, blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the entire snow surface red.
"It's really cruel."
Xia De said, but it didn’t actually feel wrong. The bear tried to eat him, and he killed him in return, which is part of the cycle of nature.
"In the autumn, I also encountered a bear in the Sikal Mountains. Later I brought the bear's carcass back to Tobesk. It was the first time I tasted bear meat."
Xia De said, but this time he did not take away the bear's body because there was too much blood.
The two ring warlocks moved very quickly. Although they had never been here before, Sister Devlin's map was barely accurate, and they soon found the cave marked on the map.
The Randall Valley area itself has many caves and underground tunnels, so the huge caves appearing in the mountains are not at all out of the ordinary. However, this cave does not lead to the underground, but goes upward through the mountain.
The inside of the cave is extremely open, even wider than St. Teresa Square. The uneven cave is surrounded by rugged rocks. Stalactite pillars and cracked boulders can be seen everywhere, but it is enough to prove that this is indeed a naturally formed mountain cave.
The terrain in the cave is generally upward. When Shade and Miss Bernanice walked in side by side and lit up their fingertips at the entrance of the cave, they could not see where the top of the cave was for a moment.
The snow surface extended to the entrance of the cave and disappeared. There was a damp and rotten smell inside the cave. Almost no one remembers the extremely remote "Dark Night Temple" ruins that we are about to reach, so many wild animals have made their home in the huge cave. Shade's moonlight first disturbed a group of bats, and then several snakes passed under their feet:
"Don't these animals hibernate?"
Shad murmured again, wanting to move forward with Miss Bernice, but suddenly grabbed the witch's wrist:
"Wait a minute? This is not the right place."
He pulled the witch behind him, and the blond lady looked around:
"What's wrong? Crazy Land?"
As the words fell, the animals living in this huge dark cave had appeared on the edge of the light. Rabbits have rotten rat heads on their bodies, bats have sticky wings like birds and moths in addition to their own wings, tigers have venomous scorpion hooks on their butts, and two-headed snakes are as colorful as a rainbow.
"Yes, Crazy Land. It is indeed difficult to find problems in such an inaccessible place, and the scope is this cave. As for the characteristics of this place, it seems to be a combination of biological species. Or it breaks some biological species. Reproductive isolation."
Miss Benenice also understood the term "reproductive isolation", she raised her eyebrows:
"Is it necessary to allow two parties who were originally infertile to have children?"
