The Whispering Verses Chapter 607: Second cocktail party
Chapter 607 The Second Reception
Mystery Lock-[Tree Kiss], the second Mystery Lock mastered by Shade, its most important function is to seal and suppress. In the dark realm, with the help of the divine flushing spirit rune and the power of the ring promotion, Shade used this mystery to seal most of the power of Darkness, the human pus.
On this tidal flat of death, Shade used all the spirit in his body to seal the door of death with all his strength. His seal is of course not as good as the personal guarding by Priest August, who is suspected of possessing the power of the original angel, but at least it can ensure that there will be absolutely no problems with this door in a short period of time.
Of course, the seal of the Kiss of the Tree is ineffective on him, and he did not lock himself here.
Even other thirteen-ring warlocks should not be able to accomplish what he is doing now. After all, coming here means death, and Shade's Mystery Lock itself contains the story of the **** with the power of the "door" and the power of the god.
【So, have you figured out how to leave? 】
"She" asked softly in her ear.
"Of course - the key to the door!"
A crimson bonfire burned blazingly on the tidal flats, and the roots of the giant trees almost merged with the death scene on the stone gate. Shade, whose face turned pale due to excessive use of strength, pressed one hand on the stone door and activated the [Door Key] inside the mystery lock.
[Tree Kiss] is originally the story of the old **** who controls the power of space, [Yahua Gate]. Coupled with the spell that also comes from? and the blessing of the divine afterglow power, Shade felt, He could barely turn his arm and open the door of death.
This also allowed him to discover another function of the Mystery Lock - [Tree Kiss]. In this Mystery Lock, he can open almost any lock.
When Shade fell out of the white light between the two ancient and cold giant stone doors, he almost didn't have the strength to stand up. The extreme consumption ensures the power of the mysterious lock to the greatest extent, and the action of opening the door consumes the little remaining physical strength.
In the narrow space between life and death, the recovery speed of his spirit and physical strength was reduced, leaving him with almost no ability to fight anymore.
[Push open the door of death and walk into death, break the shackles between life and death, and return to the narrow space of the border. 】
[Outlander, you have heard the "whisper" from death again. 】
[You have obtained the thaumaturgy - Door of Death. Opens a one-way passage to true death that only allows you, and the souls who voluntarily depart, to enter. During the opening of the channel, because it is one-way, the other side will not affect the normal world. 】
"Ha, what am I doing by opening this channel? It would be good if I could actively inhale my enemies, but it only works on the soul, and the other party must leave voluntarily. Could this thaumaturgy want me to die again? ?"
He held his hands on the ground and gasped:
"It's almost dawn."
Shad didn't know about the abnormal phenomenon caused by his use of the Mystery Lock in the Sikal Mountain area. He only knew that he had no strength now to cross such a long distance in the narrow space and return to the house inside the Russell Manor, not to mention that there would be attacks from evil spirits on the way.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
With a smile on his pale face, Shade, who was lying on the ground in front of the door of death, stretched out his hand and reluctantly took out keys, door leaves, branch-shaped toys, etc. from the items placed in front of the stone door in advance. Two bottles of blood and the blood bottle left by the priest:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
Puffing heavily, I inserted the key into the door. After turning it, the small door was filled with thick white mist. Even the black wind blowing from the crack in the door behind me could not shake the mist:
"Sure enough, the time key can be used even here."
He put his finger into the door, the metal hanging fell to the ground, and Shade disappeared.
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of 3014 in the Fifth Age, Eastern Continent, Night Manor. 】
[Event: The Vampire God’s Reception. 】
【Duration is thirty minutes (2/3). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】
[The test given to you by the ancient **** of time will continue. 】
[Participate in the drinking party of "Vampire Duke Loair" with mortals until the party ends. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Thaumaturgy - Silent Moonlight, a true message - Elf. 】
He entered the white mist space in a prone position, and after leaving the narrow space, his physical strength immediately recovered rapidly. As if Shade had the ability to breathe and heal his wounds, he stood up directly in just a few breaths:
"Things are not bad."
Changing his clothes that were stained with mud in front of the stone gate into spare clothes that had been turned into toys, Shade moved his body, wasting no time, and stepped forward. The scenery of the corridor of the night manor slowly unfolded.
Turning his head to look out the window at the almost still and strange night of the courtyard, he felt that his physical strength and spirit were still recovering at a normal, or even faster, speed. Then, I saw that the three bottles in my hands were still there:
"Very good."
He is satisfied with the status quo.
Go forward along the corridor, turn the corner, and enter the long and narrow passage. At the end, the double doors opened automatically, and Shade walked directly in.
It seems that the huge hall built for giant-sized creatures is still the same, but on the table in front of the middle-aged witch, the armored old man and the twin girls, there are more things on gold and silver plates, which look very rich. meal, and it looked like everyone ate some.
Although it was quiet here, the atmosphere was better than Shade thought. It seemed that during his absence, the saints and mortals also held other drinking parties. At least Shade saw the gray-haired old man gathering the cards. There was a smile on his face.
"God."
As the door behind him closed automatically, Shade greeted the saint in a red cloak at the end of the long table. The skin cracks that originally disappeared as he left the door of death reappeared, and the saint nodded to him:
"Hurry and take a seat. After a short break, the reception will begin."
Xia De came to the end of the long table facing the Saint, and the chair automatically opened for him to take a seat. He looked at the other people attending the reception. The witch who looked like a middle-aged woman had no expression. The gray-haired old man smiled and nodded at Shade. The twin girls were still surprised by the golden light marks that appeared on Shade's body. .
"The smell of death is really strong on you. I hope this will not affect your taste of wine."
The saint in red cloak said softly, but only sighed slightly, and then went directly to the topic:
"So unexpected guest, this time, will you bring me blood that satisfies me in exchange for the right to continue participating in this cocktail party?"
"I think so."
Shad placed the three small bottles in his pocket on the table and pointed to the first bottle of blood:
"The blood of the Deep-Eyed Dragon Squid is hard to get. I got it from the mermaid."
"Not bad, at least much better than impure dragon blood."
The saint made a simple evaluation. It seemed that this bottle of blood was just barely qualified.
"The blood of the Rhine demon, many people died for this."
Shad pointed to the second bottle of blood.
"Oh? Rhine demon? This is rare. This kind of demon that uses blood relationship as a curse is absolutely dangerous to my believers."
The saint said, Shade thought for a while and then realized that the other party was referring to the "Rhine Demon" which is very lethal to the vampire clan.
"Although I only need to bring two kinds of blood this time, I also brought a third kind."
Shad pointed to the last small bottle. The priest left in a hurry, so the blood left behind was very little compared to the other blood that Shad purchased with "a lot of money".
"Looks like interesting stuff."
? Waved his hand, and the three bottles in Shade's hand automatically floated to the other end of the long table.
The cork of the third bottle was automatically opened. The blood-sucking **** twitched his nose slightly, and then narrowed his eyes.
Xia De endured huge mental pressure and observed the other person's expression. While the vampire **** frowned, he tentatively said:
"This blood may be related to the original angel-Gakel."
Shad asked the priest to leave his blood. He originally thought that the story of Priest August was interesting enough, so his blood might be valuable. In addition, blood-sucking gods would not curse the other person just because they sucked the blood of mortals, so he decided to become a priest.
But when he obtained the spiritual runes in the Land of Death and heard the message from the "Primary Angel", Shade had new ideas. The "First Angel" seems to be traceable back to the original gods, and the first gods are the ancient gods. Perhaps he can trace more information about the ancient gods through the "First Angel" incident.
The saint nodded slightly:
"It is indeed the original angel."
Xia De opened his eyes slightly to show his excitement:
"So the first angel was."
"The original angel, the angel of death, the angel of death, mortals like to use this name."
God said simply, and then changed the topic directly, without giving Shade a chance to ask questions:
"Very good. Although the smell of death in this blood is too strong, it is also a good wine. Unexpected guests, you can choose to use this as a gift for your next arrival, or you can choose to use this to offset it. Next wine tasting request."
After snapping his fingers, ten identical green wine bottles appeared in front of God, and the plates in front of everyone were cleared, with some delicious-looking snacks added. At the same time, a brand new glass goblet suddenly appeared in front of them:
"Then we enter the next stage of the reception. Now that I have tasted the fine wines you brought, I can't be stingy with my collection. There are ten pieces of my collection here. I will taste them one by one, and you will What you’re doing is tasting wine with me.”
"God, do we also need to taste all the blood brew here?"
Xia De asked, the saint shook his head slightly:
"Each of you only needs to drink with me three times. But if after I taste all the blood brew here, someone still doesn't drink three times, then he will be unlucky, and he will not be able to get it. The mortal king with pure dragon blood has come to an end."
The rules of this cocktail party are simple and easy to understand. The five people have good understanding skills, so there is no doubt.
"Besides, you."
? Suddenly he looked at the twin girls wearing black and white gauze skirts on Shade's right. The girls held hands and lowered their heads, even breathing stagnant under the intense pressure of the saint's gaze.
"You two have brought the same blood, so I will treat you as one person. You must taste the same blood brew."
"Yes, God."
The little girls whispered.
"You."
Looking at the armored old man again, the old man had already gathered the cards and put them into his pocket.
"The card game just now was very interesting. Maybe during the next break, we can continue. So, you can only drink with me twice."
“Thank you for your mercy, God.”
The old man also lowered his head and said that his mental endurance is the worst among the people currently alive. At this time, he was just glanced at by the saint, and his face immediately turned purple.
"Very good. Then, the second part of the reception - officially begins!"
The tightly tied curtains by the window turned blood red in an instant. The metal material of the bat-shaped kerosene lamp on the wall melted and deformed, turning into a shape held by children with sharp teeth and wings. The carpet turned blood red, and a series of slender teeth hung down from the crystal lamp above the head. Even behind the saint, strange oil paintings appeared on the walls that were originally just hung with tapestries.
There is blood red in the oil painting, and there seems to be something flying in groups in the gaps between the uneven paint, but if you look closely, you can only feel dizziness and headache, and even something like rust appears in your mouth for some reason. smell.
The original red carpet seemed to have blood flowing through it, and the dark liquid dyed the carpet into patterns similar to human blood vessels. Large black blood stains appeared on the stone tiles of the ancient hall walls, until the entire room was filled with a faint smell of blood.
The weird night view of the manor outside the window remained unchanged, but the restaurant, which was originally a normal restaurant, had changed in a somewhat weird direction with the start of the second cocktail party. Not only Shade frowned, but also the witch felt uneasy.
