The Whispering Verses Chapter 2725: The witches rush to help
Chapter 2724 The witches rush to the rescue
Even with Denister Gustav’s experience of the Thirteenth Ring, she still cannot completely calm down at this moment:
"We retreated immediately after waking up. I knew the danger, so I went to Mr. Davis and the others for help. The hermits knew this place."
The shocked Mr. Steve Davis covered his chest and said:
"How did you find this place? Although this lake is marked on the map, it is impossible to walk in even if you look at the map.
This is the rumored 'Lake of Love', one of the most dangerous areas in Vista Glades. In the Fifth Age, lovers believed that this lake shaped like a heart could bring love, so many people came here to pray for love and marriage. But I don’t know when, some kind of evil force came here, and the missing lovers in the town would hold hands and sink under the water of this lake the next day.”
He recalled the terrible secrets of the Fifth Age that he had seen in the cult materials:
"No one knows what is here. It is even rumored that the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era is afraid of the power here. But isn't this place sealed? I originally thought that the so-called Love Lake was just that this forest had been buried One of the many secrets.”
Although the hermits knew this place, they did not dare to enter the water. When Miss Danister found them and they confirmed that this was the "Lake of Love", the restless cat finally didn't want to wait and jumped into the lake.
At that time, Shad, who was sinking into the lake holding hands with Flora Winslet, actually began to float slightly, so the cat bit his clothes until it dragged him to the lake. side.
No one knows how the cat did it, but no one thinks that cats can do such a thing, so they can do it too.
While talking to Mr. Davis, the elder of the hermits, about what had just happened, Miss Danister hugged Shade's body tightly, as if she was afraid that he would step into the lake again.
The evening breeze blew, and the woodland illuminated by the setting sun made a rustling sound. Shade, whose mind was half-empty, recalled everything that had just happened. He had inexplicably sunk into the lake for a whole day, and now he woke up. Suddenly I asked in my heart:
"It should be a reality now, right?"
[Of course. 】
"Her" gentle answer proves that it is no longer a dream, because "she" uses an ancient language that no one has been able to imitate so far.
"Just now, why didn't you wake me up in my dream? Can that power even block you?"
"She" chuckled softly, and Shade realized that he shouldn't ask this question, but "she" still gave the answer:
[How do you think the fog you last saw appeared? 】
Little Mia continued to "roar" at the big lake, and the cat's tail was already ignited with flames. It noticed that Shade turned to face the big lake, and thought that Shade was going in again, so it immediately bit his trouser leg.
But Shade just bent down and picked it up, and gently stroked the cat that saved his life. The cat then gave a gentle cry, while Shade kept staring at Fu sleeping at the bottom of the lake. Lora Winslet.
"I still have companions down there. You can ignore the others for the time being, but I want to rescue her."
He said to Mr. Davis, but the middle-aged hermit shook his head like a leaf blown by the strong wind:
"Don't even think about stepping into the water again. I don't know how your cat did it, but you are definitely the only person in history who can wake up and survive from the Lake of Love. Don't go in, Never go in! ”
"What will happen if we don't save them?"
The red-haired girl pointed to the lake, but still grabbed Shade's arm and wouldn't let go.
"Indulge in happy dreams until their lifespan ends, and their bodies and souls melt into part of the lake. Maybe you can let the cat save her again, just like the cat saved you just now."
The hermit gave the most feasible suggestion at present, but when Shade touched little Mia, he found that it just bared its teeth at the lake and had no intention of going there again.
Although he wanted to rescue Flora, he would never let the cat that just saved his life take risks again.
The history of the [Forest Hermits] can also be traced back to the ancient era, and although they know a lot about the secrets of the Vesta Grove, they do not know everything.
For this heart-shaped "Lake of Love", they only know that it is dangerous and terrifying, but they have no means to deal with it. And when Shade, who had recovered slightly, asked who sealed this place in the first place, Mr. Davis still shook his head:
"I only remember it said in the book, don't come here alone or with only two people. In theory, the more people, the safer."
The setting sun is gradually fading in the sky, and the moon and stars are becoming clearer in the dim sky. Starlight seems to be attracted by this lake, because when the colors of the sunset disappear, the light of stars appears in the almost transparent lake.
The wind blew the lake water gently swaying, and the stars in the lake swayed layer by layer. This starlight exudes a stronger power to attract people into the water, so that everyone at the lake has to continue to evacuate the camp backwards as night falls.
The hermits temporarily returned to their base to help search for more documents to determine the situation here. Seeing that there was really no other way, while the girls were preparing to set up camp, Shade blew the butterfly calling flute.
Amidst the melodious sound of the flute, large swarms of butterflies appeared around Sha De, and then the girls in black and white skirts appeared in front of Sha De.
"Good evening, sir, the coffin has not been repaired yet"
They were about to lift up their skirts and salute Xia De gracefully, but suddenly they shouted "Ah~" and they all saw the lake:
"Sir, where are you? How did you come to such a dangerous place?"
Although the twins have lived from the middle of the fifth era to the present, they have never been here. But with their perception of top angel-level relics, they can clearly understand how terrifying this place is:
"The desire for happiness, this lake. Sir, what happened?"
A brand new camp has been set up. For safety, Grace and Helen personally protected the camp to prevent anyone from accidentally walking into the lake.
Although Miss Danister has seen the two sisters before, she is actually not very familiar with them. She told the two sisters again about everything that happened today by the campfire, and Shade also told his own experience.
"The power of this lake is stronger than our current power."
Grace finally came to the conclusion softly. They also did not dare to touch the lake rashly because they also had a strong desire for happiness.
The only attempt the two sisters made was to use space power to try to bring Flora Winslet up from the bottom of the water. But it is obvious that they failed. The interference of space power is prohibited in the "Lake of Love", and this restriction is imposed by a being more powerful than them.
Since Grace and Helen have no choice, Shade can only continue to look for people.
He first ordered Miss Bell to enter the parliament to see if she could meet other great witches. Then he ordered Grace and Helen to protect the camp and leave little Mia behind, and then returned to Tobesk alone.
So twenty minutes later, Miss Sylvia, with the help of Grace and Helen, opened the space tunnel and came to the Vista Woodland, and met with Miss Danister and her group at the camp by the lake.
Ten minutes later, the portal was opened again by the Red Butterfly Twins. Count Bella Belindel, who happened to meet Miss Bell in the association, also brought his personal maid Matilda and five high-ring maids. Came here.
At 7:10 p.m., Grace and Helen were called by Shade again to temporarily leave here, but they soon came back through the portal with Dorothy, and then the three of them merged and worked together to open a new portal. , let Granny Cassandra and Miss Swift come to the forest together.
Fifteen minutes later, as dense footsteps came from the forest, the "Chocobo Transport Team" carried Shade, Luvia, Iluna, Miss Elf, Tifa, Vanessa and Dozens of followers of the High Ring Witch came to the outskirts of the camp.
Luvia, Tifa and Vanessa were sent directly to Miss Elf's tree house through the portal opened by Dorothy and the others. After joining Shad and Iluna, they met the elf who lent her mount. We arrived here on chocobo together.
It can be seen that the chocobos are also afraid of this big lake. Even if they are led by the elf lady, they only dare to gather together in the camp farthest from the lake.
Everyone got off the chocobo, holding the [Night Watcher] brought from No. 6 of Saint Teresa Square. Iluna's heterochromatic pupils seemed to flash, and then she swung her sword forward and slashed forward. , the glowing sword hit nothing:
"What the **** is this place? I actually feel like I want to enter the lake too."
She was leaving Tobesk tomorrow morning, but when Shade went to find Luvia, the fortune teller still asked Shade to take her with him to prevent any accidents.
"Miss Belinder, Miss Sylvia, and Granny Cassandra, I really bother you so late."
Shad, whose clothes had become dry, went to greet the countess with the birthmark on her eyebrows, the black-haired space witch and the old witch in the camp. They all shook their heads:
"Something happened to Flora. Now that we know about it, we can't ignore it."
Grandma Cassandra was wearing a black skirt and looked like she was traveling in a hurry:
"Devlin is not in the [Spiritual Order], but I left her a letter, and she will come over soon after seeing it."
Miss Sylvia saw Vanessa and Shade appearing together, so she asked again:
"Why didn't Carina come with you?"
Tifa, who was wearing a maid skirt, answered her. Her black hair stood out among the girls:
"The young lady is currently attending a diplomatic reception at Yodel Palace. She originally wanted to come with her, but Shade said that if she is needed, Miss White and Miss Black will bring her."
