The Whispering Verses Chapter 256: Maze

In the third-floor room of the underground ruins, three people stood together to rest and prepare to continue setting off. So far, they haven't encountered ring warlocks, but this is the limit. It is impossible for the silver-eyed ones not to notice them.

If he was really stupid and forgot to take extra precautions in the ruins, he wouldn't be alive now.

"But how did the people of Mercury Blood get through here?"

Miss Bayas thought of this question:

"Are there special individuals like detectives among them?"

"This mirror has no obvious effect on warlocks of level seven or above. Although the silver-eyed man's strength has dropped to the level of level six, he is indeed still a nine-level warlock. He can move forward despite the damage and explore the ruins alone. . Perhaps when [Mercury Blood] developed this ruins, there were only a few warlocks above the seventh level who served as the main expedition members."

Miss Anat gave a guess, and then added:

"Of course, it is possible that they have mastered other safe methods."

"We didn't meet the person who came in in the morning as the detective said. Does this mean that the person is also above the seventh ring and is waiting for us inside?"

Miss Bayas asked again, Miss Anat tossed a coin, and then said to Shade:

"Listen to the sound, you may gain something after the third time."

"No problem."

He closed his eyes to sharpen his hearing.

On the first try, Miss Bayas's voice is describing Shade's punch and shattering of the mirror.

On the second try, the sound of violent breathing seemed to be right next to my ears, but it quickly disappeared. After waiting for half a minute, no other sound appeared.

On the third try, he heard the end of a conversation——

"...So never go near that tree."

Then there were footsteps leaving here. The footsteps were heavy, as if they were carrying something heavy.

On the fourth try, I finally got the answer:

"I didn't expect that the countermeasures of this relic are so simple. Carrying another mirror to completely cover your face will exempt you from the effect of the [mirror behind]."

This is the man with the strange accent, the ring warlock from the [Blood Spirit School] who entered here in the morning.

"No, this method can only be used if you are above the fourth ring. Below the fourth ring, you will be hurt by the relics even if there is a mirror in front of you... Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? ”

This sound has never been heard before.

"Silver Eyed Man, do you think it is easy to go from the New World to the Old World? The two people originally arranged by the organization should arrive in Tobesk on the weekend, and will probably disembark at the Cold Water Port tonight. But the organization received your letter , knowing that there is that tree in the ruins made me take the risk to come here to see you. Do you know how important the mission I was performing nearby was, but it was related to the unknown relic! Correct, the tree in the ruins is really..."

Xia De opened his eyes and looked at the door on the right. After the footsteps crossed the door, all the sounds disappeared immediately.

"What result?"

Miss Bayas asked.

"Strangers are above the seventh ring and above the fourth ring."

Xia De frowned, feeling a little uneasy:

"The other party is definitely from the [Blood Spirit School], but he was not originally arranged to come here. The other party was originally executing other plans nearby, and it is suspected to be related to the out-of-control level 0 relic handled by the church. Because of a tree, Strangers are urgently arranged to come here to meet with those with silver eyes."

"Blood Spirit School? Tree?"

Miss Anat seemed even more uneasy than Shade:

"This is terrible. The history of the Blood Spirit School can be traced back to several eras. Things that this ancient organization cares about may not be simple."

"But what is a tree?"

Miss Bayas asked.

"My guess is that the 'tree' refers to the relic that was suppressed here. Oh, remember, never get close to any trees, that thing is very dangerous."

Shade reminded, while Miss Anat became more and more uneasy. Miss Bayas still has the confidence to move forward, while Shade is not particularly concerned about what is in front of the ruins.

What he cared about was the top of his head. He had not forgotten the uneasiness he told the maid in the carriage.

But in short, they had no time to stop and could only keep moving forward.

This time Miss Anat walked in the front. She took out the compass in her hand to guide the direction, put on the illusion-breaking monocle in front of her eyes, and then pushed open the stone door pointed out by Shade.

Behind the door is a narrow corridor, with brick walls made of large stone bricks at the feet, above the head, and on the left and right. The corridor is not long, and you can see a fork in the road not far ahead. This is the special illusion created by the clerical relic [Maze Candle] brought into the ruins by the Silver Eyed One predicted by Miss Anat.

"Follow me. The structure of this maze will change at any time. Without guidance, it is difficult to get out by luck."

The female diviner waved to the two people behind her, and they continued to maintain the formation with Shade in the middle and Miss Bayas behind.

"However, since the candle was brought into the ruins by the silver-eyed man, what was the space behind the door originally used for?"

Xia De asked in a low voice when setting off, but his companions could not give an answer to this question.

They are getting closer and closer to the deepest part of the ruins, and they are also very vigilant. Miss Anat walked in front holding the compass. Even with the guidance of the compass, she would toss a coin at each fork to divine and then choose the direction.

She is only a three-ring warlock, and the accuracy of the divination cannot be guaranteed, but there is no problem if she gives it a try.

Shadow walked between the two ladies, which was theoretically the safest. Therefore, while walking, he still had time to turn around and look at Miss Bayas behind him, who looked at him doubtfully:

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay."

Xia De shook his head, sighing in his heart that the seventeen-year-old girl behind him was really very different from her peers.

Fifth minute after entering the maze, the three of them heard a strange sound coming from the distance at the same time, as if some kind of animal cub was crying. The sound lasted for thirty seconds before stopping, but it continued to echo in the maze after that.

From the information found, this clerical relic that formed the maze was only used to create the maze. There are no dangerous animals in the maze to hunt people who break into the maze. But the sound didn't sound like the collective hallucination of the three of them, so Miss Anat quietly reminded the two companions behind her to get ready for battle.

Eight minutes after entering the maze, footsteps appeared at the fork in front. But when the three people, whose vigilance had reached its peak, arrived, they did not see any people in the other three directions of the fork in the road.

Miss Anat was very upset and tossed the coin three times, but with no results:

"The most likely scenario is that the Silver Eyed Ones discovered us."

"Finally found us."

Miss Bayas said softly.

Before the sound could even finish, the ground beneath my feet began to vibrate.

The maze is trembling.
