The Whispering Verses Chapter 787: The protagonists of the epic


[Death's Door] is a thaumaturgy that Shade learned after returning from death, allowing the souls who voluntarily left and the caster himself to pass through. Because it was a one-way passage, Shade never thought that one day he would really die from here.

He knew Mr. Mattis was looking at him, but he did not look back, but stepped into the gap.

[Outlander, you have entered death. 】

[Outlander, you have a better understanding of "Sleep". 】

Cold and trembling.

The moment of nothingness and extreme cold almost caused Shade's consciousness to fall into deep sleep again, but he soon realized that he had reached his destination.

There is no sound, everything is quiet; the dark moon shines on everything, and this moment is the end.

Behind you are the two giant stone doors, and at your feet is the weak "Kiss of the Tree" bonfire that is almost extinguished. In front of them, the huge silver moon half-sinked at the end of the dark water. The water in front of them seemed to have no end. Just looking at it, there was a primitive fear in my heart.

An unmeasurable number of vague white shadows stand against the narrow beach at the water's edge. They looked up at the cold dark moon, and gradually moved away from each other as their bodies flickered, heading towards the silver moon.

There is no sound here, even breathing is not necessary. Quiet and solemn, cold and profound, here is death itself.

Looking down at his hand, the cracks were spreading all over his body, and the divine radiance shined through it, protecting Shade's soul from going far away.

"Iluna!"

Taking off the mask and walking quickly, he came to Iluna who was collapsed on the ground. He inserted the [Night Watchman] into the ground, put down the kerosene lamp containing the first fire, and then carefully placed the seventeen-year-old The girl hugged him.

The dark golden scales suspended above her head to protect her safety, but Iluna was a living person after all, and she was very uncomfortable here.

Looking further into the distance, Joey Barton was sitting sideways on a big rock at the end of the tidal flat, with his right hand holding the stone surface, his left hand hanging down naturally, and his two feet unable to touch the ground due to his short stature. He turned his head and looked quietly at the distant water surface and the dark moon. The dark moon reflected its shadow on the gravel beach, and he seemed not to know that Shade had arrived.

"you"

"She was fine. When I opened the door, she wanted to catch me, so she followed me. She is also very talented at death, plus the dark golden magical scale, and the fact that she sucked it in advance. The leaves in the mouth, so they did not leave with those souls."

Joy Barton's voice was very calm.

Eluna was indeed temporarily unable to move, but after being hugged by Shade, she seemed to be affected by his divine aura, and her body temperature and breathing rate were returning to normal. She tried her best to open her eyes and look at Shade. Her lips wriggled and spit out the pale leaf that had lost its effect. Shade immediately stuffed another piece for her (Note).

The seventeen-year-old girl wanted to speak, but nothing came out.

"It's okay, I'll handle the rest."

He said softly, carrying Iluna back to the bonfire of Tree Kiss. Looking at the weak bonfire, after hesitating for a moment, he opened the shade of the kerosene lamp and carefully pulled the weak first flame inside, letting the flame fall into the bonfire.

There was no sound, but the nearly extinguished bonfire was rekindled. Even the spiritual and physical recovery that completely stagnated in death tended to recover slowly.

Putting the [Night Watcher] next to the bonfire and letting Iluna sit there holding the sword, Shade turned and walked towards the end of the tidal flat and came to Joey Barton's side.

At this time, I could finally see the calm expression on his face. The light of the dark moon illuminated the somewhat deformed young man's face. The middle-aged man looked at those hesitant and blurry white figures, and Xia De didn't know what he was thinking.

"Is this what you really look like? You are so handsome"

Joy Barton sighed softly.

"You still haven't given up?"

Xia De asked.

"Yes, it's almost done."

"So, are you talking to me now a clone or your true body?"

"One-third of the body. I will not put eggs in one basket."

"That's it."

Hu raised his right hand high, and when he lowered it, the moonlight sword in his hand had already taken shape. Mr. Barton did not dodge. The Moonlight Sword struck his shoulder, but it was as if it hit an indestructible object and had no effect.

"Mr. Watson, you really don't understand this."

"What don't you understand?"

Xia De dismissed the sword in his hand and was not ashamed of his sneak attack.

"This is death itself. We who come here are already dead. How can you kill people here?"

The tone was still so calm as he was explaining the facts he had learned.

"Yes, this is death"

Shad nodded and stopped observing Mr. Barton. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and turned to look with him at the water in front of him and the thousands of souls on the water.

The tide was not calm. The surging water stopped in front of Shade's boots, retreated, and then came back again, washing away the small stones and pebbles.

"The only thing that can harm us here is to enter these waters. Whether it is you or me, if we touch these waters without special methods, we will never come back."

Mr. Barton continued.

"So, how are you going to find the soul you are looking for here?"

"When I come here, I know more knowledge and more secrets. My wish, my true love, is in front of me."

Valley??

His thick and deformed fingers point to the depths of death represented by the dark moon:

"Right here."

"Why not act now?"

"Because I'm not complete yet."

After the words fell, a voice came from behind the two people. It wasn't Iluna who stood up, but a new guest arrived.

Looking around, another Joey Barton appeared in front of the [Death Door]. Compared to the first one who was intact on the surface, he looked much more embarrassed. His right hand was missing and his body was covered with all kinds of strange scars. Even half of his head was cut off, but he was still alive.

As if he already knew what was going on here, the second Joey Barton crossed the bonfire and walked towards Joey Barton on the rocks on the shore, and merged with him.

Shad could not stop this process, but he noticed that someone followed Mr. Barton here, it was the familiar old priest.

Priest Rat Augustus frowned and looked at the scene in front of him:

"Really, I am so old, why do I want to participate in this kind of thing?"

He walked to the bonfire, then sat down carefully with his hands on the ground, and stretched out his hands to face the bonfire, as if he wanted to keep warm.

"Priest Augustus?"

Iluna, who had recovered a little, asked in a low voice, her voice a little strange because she had a leaf in her mouth:

"This is you"

Priest Augustus is a very famous old priest in Tobesk Diocese. Even pagans know him.

"Good evening, oh, it's Miss Bayas. I was attending the ceremony at the top of the mountain, and then Joey Barton came up and was seriously injured by three thirteen-ring warlocks from the church, but I still fought hard. The breath fell into the crack at the top of the mountain. I originally wanted to stop him, but then the unlucky one followed him. Well, I took the initiative to follow him. I can't watch him do bad things."

The priest shrugged:

"Relax and wait until Shade solves this matter. Although I don't know what Mr. Detective wants to do, he has always been very capable. What is this fire? It's so warm."

"I'm actually very curious."

At the end of the tidal flat, the two men looking at the dark moon and their departed souls are still talking:

"Why can you see [Death's Door] no matter which one of the three passages you enter here."

Xia De asked softly.

"Not only through the narrow room, no matter what method or means is used to enter here, it is actually the same. Because the [Death Door] is indeed the only correct way to enter this place besides the normal death process. Therefore, in theory, the channel at the foot of the mountain is indeed the most stable. ”

Joy Barton replied that this knowledge probably comes from the identity of the chosen one.

"Then do you know that the 'Scar of the Holy Tree' ritual is almost completed, and now none of us can get out?"

Shad asked again, Joey Barton hesitated:

"I don't know, but after seeing her, there will always be a way."

Xia De shook his head, knowing that he would never be able to convince the person in front of him.

They did not continue talking, but looked together at the distance of the silent dark water, watching the flickering white shadows appear, advance and disappear at the end of the field of vision.

"What do you think of this moon?"

Shad suddenly said again. Mr. Barton did not give an answer immediately. He listened carefully and then spoke:

"After the ancient gods left, due to some reasons, the dark moon that was supposed to guide death here also disappeared. But now it appears again, maybe just like me, it has a deep grasp of the power of the moon. The chosen ones are also carrying out their own epic."

Shad shook his head. This dark moon appeared because the priest invaded his dream, and the moonlight above the wilderness in his dream shone into death. But he cannot be the chosen one, Luvia has said this many times.

"This moon is really beautiful. The moon and death, the two most original powers, are shown here to stabilize the rules of death and ensure that all living beings die. If, if the dark moon could appear two epochs earlier, Maybe the life and death gap in Fort Midhill will not expand so fast at all."

While speaking, another voice came from behind.

The third Joey Barton appeared. In addition to high degree of burns, his legs were cut off by the roots, his eyes were gouged out, his nose and ears were cut off, and even his mouth was sutured with cursed black threads. .

After appearing, he lay down directly on the ground, and then crawled hard to the end of the beach. The power of the curse was blooming on him, it was the curse of the witches. At the same time, Shade also noticed that his chest was glowing, as if there was an unquenchable fire burning his heart.

Even when the third Mr. Barton merged with Joey Barton on the stone beside Shade, the latter still clutched his heart and showed an expression of unbearable pain.

The emergence of the third Joey Barton brought a new ring warlock for the third time.

Sister Devlin is still so calm, wearing a nun's robe made of gray-black silk, with a shawl of the same color on her shoulders. A silver crown-style eye mask tied her silver-gray hair around her ears, and her long hair was braided in a complicated pattern behind her, almost hanging down to her waist.

His hands were folded and placed in front of him naturally, his head was slightly lowered, but the eye mask still reflected the light of the dark moon.

The flame, the crimson flame, is appearing on the nun's body bit by bit. At first glance, it looked like she was being set on fire, but then I saw that the nun had fiery red cracks attached to her body. Not only her skin, but even the hem of her clothes and the ends of her hair were glowing with the light of flames. As the fierce flames gradually subsided, the embers of the flames floated out from the cracks, until the afterglow of the first fire completely stabilized, protecting her from staying here for a long time.

Although wearing an eyepatch, Sister Devlin can still "see" everything.

She first nodded slightly to Shade who turned around at the end of the beach, and then walked to the "Tree Kiss" bonfire. Instead of sitting on the ground like Priest Augustus, or sitting sideways and leaning against the [Night Watcher] like Iluna, the nun moved a stone and sat on it.

From the earliest era to the present, this is probably the day with the largest number of living people here.
