Chapter 328 The Power of Greed

Hunger continues to torment Shade, even Prince The smell of perfume on Miss Si's body can seduce his appetite at the moment.

But this strong desire to eat also masked other feelings caused by going too far into the cabin. He'd never felt so hungry before, and if it wasn't for the fact that eating anything would only intensify his hunger, Shade would have eaten his own clothes by now.

"So, why are these crew members who are clearly not our own generation able to speak in standard Delarion lingua franca?"

Shade even bothered to ask as he moved on. This, Miss Prince was very worried about his situation and answered his questions in a low voice:

"In fact, most of the [relics] that can communicate with us can use contemporary languages. Whisper elements are related, Whisper elements are the darkness of civilization, and they can also draw strength from civilization. Shade, you."

She bit her lip, not knowing how to thank Shade for risking her Go down with him.

After leaving the door of the room with the black pot, the two continued to walk deeper into the cabin. More and more skeletons appeared under the feet, and the human skeletons fused together with the creep on the walls became more and more hideous and terrifying. Even later, the filth left by the blood plasma on the walls formed a disgusting and bizarre rune that affected the souls of the living with the ship.

Seeing that Shade was in a bad state, Miss Princes walked in front of her. In order to prevent accidents, she also called out her own life ring, so Shade met Miss Prince's core spirit rune.

The core rune is three pieces, [writer] [Princess] and [player], very similar to a friend of Shade. The five-ringed female warlock also whispered to Shade her low four-ringed sublimation language, that is, "[Princess] of [Sleeping] obtains [peace] in [reality] and [dream]".

"Stop."

After walking thirty paces or so from the cook's cabin, Miss Prince stopped. Looking forward, in the center of the corridor ahead stood a wooden box shining golden rays of light, as if all the nearby light was concentrated on the box, tempting people to find out what it was.

It's something that looks like a trap, and they definitely don't want to touch it, if at all possible. But the big box was placed in the middle of the corridor, and because of the thick creep of the walls, the originally narrow cabin corridor was completely blocked.

"Look at me."

Goldilocks said, pulling out a rolled parchment from the pocket of her skirt. After throwing the parchment into the air, the parchment automatically burns. She took a deep breath, green dots flew out of her hair, and slowly condensed a very vague silhouette of a bow and arrow beside her.

Miss Prince is also a ring warlock proficient in the elements of Enlightenment, adept at drawing strength from fairy tales and stories. The casting materials for this type of Mystic Art are usually stories written by the caster himself.

The archer, whose body was abnormally blurred, bowed slightly to Miss Prince, and then walked to the treasure chest that shone with rays of light.

As soon as I reached out and opened the box, the box immediately "bounced". This description is not correct. It should be said that the two slender legs under the box support the box to stand up.

Elongated arms also extend from both sides of the box, while the box lid opens, revealing its sharp teeth and thick, fresh red tongue. With its two slender legs as its legs and the treasure chest itself as its body and teeth, this humanoid opens its mouth to swallow the archer.

Miss Prince in the distance clenched her fists sharply, the cancellation of Mystic Art made archer scattered again into green light spots and disappeared. At the same time, she took out a new volume of parchment and threw the parchment into the air. After burning, a solid silhouette with the same appearance as Miss Prince appeared.

This silhouette is wearing a blue Princess dress and a silver crown on her head.

Archer's Mystic Art just now, she probably just used a spirit rune, so archer's silhouette is blurry. And the second story is based on the sublimation of the low fourth ring, so it is as real as the soon-to-be-successful Miss Luyesha's "Little Match Girl".

The Princess who walked out of the story, holding the golden spindle, approached the treasure chest monster that had rushed over with a hazy and illusory smile.

“Procrastinate it,” said Miss Princes.

"Okay."

Silver's arc was like a blade, flying past Princess' cheek. Even the monster didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only squat down to restore the appearance of a treasure chest.

With a bang, the silver moon slash hit the treasure chest, but only left an unremarkable mark.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Princess holding the spindle has approached the treasure chest. When the chest is restored to the monster, stab the spindle directly into the monster's bright red tongue.

Flap~
The Princess disappeared with the spindle, and the monster collapsed to the ground. As the treasure chest opened and closed slightly and let out a faint breath, it fell into a deep sleep.

This is even more powerful than Dr. Schneider's hypnosis. The doctor's hypnosis is used on the ring warlock and must be directly contacted, and it will never have such an effect on non-human creatures.

The archer reappeared beside Miss Prince, bend bow and place arrow, but the arrow could not penetrate monster's head.

Miss Prince looked towards Shade, Shade nods. The right hand stretched into the air, and then slowly pulled out the two-handed great sword of the holy silver.

He came to the treasure chest monster, raised his sword with both hands, and stabbed it along the gap of the treasure chest. There was no strange-colored blood flowing out, and those slender hands and feet turned lime-grey together with the treasure chest itself, and then scattered into a pile of dust like a sand sculpture.

However, with the death of monster, a black light actually entered Shade's body along the great sword of Saint silver.

“en?”

【The greedy person will pay the price, when the greed in your heart gathers, they themselves will become part of people’s desire. ]

[Relic-Treasure Chest Monster, gives you new power. ].

[Outlander, you have some insight into 'greed'. ]

"What do you mean? Not Mystic Art spells, nor spirit rune?"

【The creatures you killed are extremely special and can be regarded as creatures born from pure greed. Kill it and you inherit its greed. This is both Enlightenment and Whisper, but not enough to make a spirit rune. ]

"Understood, which means that as long as I have more insight, the probability of getting [greed] spirit rune will greatly increase."

Shade concluded, and then covered it again. own stomach. When the fight was over, his focus returned, and hunger surged, making him miss the feeling of being full again.

"Are you all right? I saw the black light just now, is that a curse?"

Miss Prince also came over, instructing the archer beside her, The ashes on the ground are pushed away finely, making sure they don't return to their original shape.

"I'm fine, it's not a curse, and the treasure chest monster just now isn't part of this ship. It's a relic in itself. I just felt the power."

Shade twitched his nose suddenly and then looked towards Miss Prince, and after the latter blushed a little, he said:
"Let's go on, I want to get out of here as soon as possible. Whether it's Coldwater Harbour or a restaurant in Tobesque, I'm hungry. It's broken."

"When we leave, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

Probably the characteristic of this dilapidated pirate ship, the length of the straight cabin corridor is actually longer than The boat itself is even longer.

Shade and the girl next to him encountered two accessible cabin rooms before reaching the stairs leading to the next cabin. Inside were a fish-headed sailor who was playing cards, and a little boy crying with his back to the cabin door in the dark.

The two chose to believe the chef's words and ignored the crew in any room. And when the creep underfoot was so thick that after stepping on it, you couldn't feel the floor at all, the dark front illuminated by the silver light on your fingertips finally appeared down the stairs.

Only as the two got closer, they both saw a silhouette sitting on the Level 3 steps of the stairs with her back to them. Slowing down cautiously, he saw that, judging from the back, at least, it should be a curly dark-haired man in a short-sleeved sailor shirt.

But what the front looks like, Shade and Miss Prince can't guess.

He was dripping water all over his body, a ticking sound that could only be heard upon approach. A gloomy feeling came from him. The temperature inside the ship in the eerie dark Sea Territory itself was not high, but after approaching the stairway, the temperature plummeted to below freezing point.

The most direct manifestation is that Shade and Miss Prince's breath have been able to form a white mist in the air.

Sitting in the middle of the stairs with their silhouettes facing away from them, it is impossible to go around. Looking at the unguarded back, Shade, who was already starving, really had the urge to swing his sword and slash over. Fortunately, he was still sensible, and Miss Prince once again signaled her to solve the problem:
" Don't underestimate the five-ring warlock, although I don't have as strong mental resistance as you, I will not lose in a head-on confrontation."

The girl with mostly red hair made Shade wait in place, she It was deliberately making the footsteps louder, and then continued forward, stopping five steps away from the entrance of the stairs.

"I"

Sitting on the stairs, the silhouette speaks at this moment, in a slow and hoarse voice, like an elderly Old Mister:
"I fell into Ocean."

The ticking of the water became louder, and Shade made the rays of light on his fingertips brighter, helping Miss Prince to illuminate her eyes.

"Then the sea devoured me, my body and soul. Even though the captain took me in, a part of my soul and body remained in the sea forever."

The female warlock lowered her head and looked towards her feet. The water stains were spreading over, reflecting the moonlight on Shade's fingertips. Only then did the two discover that the fungus that wrapped the corridor did not spread to the entrance of the stairs, and the floor was exposed in front of them. This water stain seems to spread here because of the continuous dripping of water from the people sitting on the stairs. But the people with their backs to them were sitting on the Level 3 steps, and there was no reason for the water to spread to such a high position.
