Chapter 589 Death of Volcano Haza
"Sure enough, it is the lowest undead creature, although strength and agility Amazing, but the intelligence is completely wild beast level, doesn't it show how dangerous I am?"

Shade thought to himself, and his right hand drew the moonlight sword from the air. As the ghoul approached, he stabbed a sword in front of him——

"Crazy Time and Space Blade Edge!"

The ghoul twisted agilely in the air to escape Shade's first sword, and then the second sword stabbed from the air directly pierced through the head.

Its "life force" is extremely tenacious, even so, it still jumps forward to Shade's neck, but Shade is lightly dodged.

With a stroke of the moonlight in his hand, the curved blade of light cut the fallen ghoul into two pieces. The two corpses were squirming and trying to escape at the same time, and a foul-smelling black-green liquid flowed out of the wounds of the corpses.

It took a long time for it to stop moving completely, and Shade also confirmed that the other party had finally truly entered "death".

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the disgusting corpse on the ground:
"Although Augustus priest is a second ring, he is not good at fighting, and facing this kind of ghoul that can be called an 'elite' , will indeed be forced into the catacombs. But he is absolutely impossible to die because of this. Priest probably has a backer, but the movement is too big, and he must find a place where no one can use it."

Use right hand His sword stirred the ferocious terrifying corpse on the ground. After this mutation, a relatively powerful "ghoul" could actually separate quite a few alchemy materials and magic medicine ingredients. But this requires professional techniques and professional equipment to complete the harvest. Although [Demoness Reverberation · Feilianna] gave Shade a lot of basic knowledge, including simple material separation techniques, he did not have professional equipment.

This is not a sword, it's just a piece of meat.

Therefore, he chose to open the door of the ancient tomb that was locked on the side, pressed his palm on the ground, and "melted" the ground with the "Light of Demoness of Feilianna" to create a large hole, The corpse that was split in two was thrown into it.

The corpses of undead creatures must be handled with care, otherwise it will lead to more trouble. The best way to deal with it is to completely burn the body to ashes with oil such as [Heart of Fire] that Augustus priest used, but Shade does not have this potion, so bury the body first, and then deal with it .

After burying the corpse, he went back to the last wall where Priest disappeared, and pressed his hand on the wall. The surface of the cold earth wall was uneven, but it was not strange either:

"What did you find?"

[Nothing was found. ]

"It's really the light of Felianna's Demonness."

The palms emit golden rays of light, and then the walls are "melted" by the rays of light like cream . Shade controls Mystic Art's formidable power, just by putting his hands inside the wall.

But until his elbows are also inserted into the wall, the back is still solid.

"This is troublesome, there are no traces of the elements, and it is not a mechanism."

He pulled out his hand and took a deep breath. With the invisible air rushing from the wall into Shade's nose, he restores the wall to its original shape at the expense of a lifespan of less than two seconds.

“Did the priest really evaporate out of thin air?”

Shade looked around again, the cold and damp catacombs seemed to have no other clues:

"Do you want me to lick the floor and walls?"

[No, because using Mystic Art "Breath of Time", you have a deeper contact with the space in front of you and get detailed information . ]

"[Breath of the Years] has this kind of benefit?"

It also seems reasonable to think that the Mystic Art effect is to inhale the airflow that represents "past time" into the nose :

"I knew that Mystic Art, which uses lifespan as its casting material, impossible only knows about the effect of changing time?"

[A region similar to an abnormal space in space, once Appeared here briefly. Your friend, there is a high probability that you have fallen into the space anomaly. ]

"Auguspriest was teleported somewhere else?"

Shade thought of him and Luvia in the cornfields of the Darkness Domain, crossing the space rift, Came directly to the gate of Miss Galina's manor.

[The perceived information is not much, but the opposite is not the material world. I felt twisted, malevolent, and extremely pure death. ]

Shade thought for a while, and then confirmed that with his own knowledge, he had no idea what it meant:
"Could it be that Augustus first fell into the underworld? But the myth of this world In the system, there is no underworld at all.”

After people in this world die, if they are not taken away by God or pulled to paste the wall (referring to the wall of the unbelievers), they can only “keep going” , the concept of "reincarnation" in the hometown of foreigners does not even exist here.

"Isn't it some warp that seals evil things?"

This is the most likely outcome.

Now that there are no further clues in the catacombs, Shade leaves the foggy cemetery and takes the carriage back to the "House of the Blind" in town. By the time he knocked on the door of 15 Ruf Lane again, it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the effect of [Shade's Blood Echo] completely disappeared, and the clue that Shade had was only that the priest finally disappeared in front of the deepest wall of the catacomb area at the foot of Mount Sikar.

It was not Ms. Michelle who opened the door for Shade this time, but probably with the permission of Ms. Michelle, the young nun, who also wrapped her eyes with cloth strips, took Shade directly to the third place. building.

Ms. Michelle's eyes have returned to normal, but instead of covering them with sackcloth again, she covers them with a blindfold like a silver crown that Shade has seen once.

While entertaining Shade and sitting down, Ms. Michele also told Shade that in the [spirit cultivator order], only the cultivators of the official nuns can wear such blindfolds. In the "House of the Blind" stronghold, she is the only one eligible.

The two were still meeting in the reception room, and Shade told each other about what he had just experienced. Ms. Michelle was slightly frowned when she heard the "ghoul", and when Shade said that he used an inconvenient method to reveal that the Priest fell into the strange space, the middle-aged woman in her forties was even more wrinkled. She frowned:
"Sorry, I didn't suspect a powerful ring warlock like you."

She probably misunderstood Shade, but before Shade explained, the nun continued:

"Excuse me, are you sure it's a twisted, malicious, and full of death place?"

"Pretty sure."

"Then you know the local mythology. and legends?"

"I don't know anything other than listening to the coachman saying that every autumn there will be fog on Mount Xikar for no reason."

Shade said honestly, thinking about it. As a result, he could go to the tower guard of Coldwater Harbor, Mr. Edmund, a self-proclaimed folklorist, to inquire about the rumors about the city.

"Actually, there is a very old rumor in this city, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

Ms. Michelle lowered her head and said cautiously:
"The first thing I need to emphasize is that, like the Rat August priest, suddenly disappearing in a certain place occurs frequently in this city every one or two years. Walk and walk. Suddenly disappearing, or talking to a companion, but turning his head, and his companion disappears.”

This sounds like an urban legend in the age of steam, when Tobesque’s lace tabloids once If you can't find a suitable topic such as "The Showdown of the Great Public Lovers", you like to use this kind of appalling stories to occupy the page, and even some good people publish these stories together, which is also an illegal distribution.

“mysterious gone?”

Shade slightly frowned:

“It seems that there are similar rumors in many places, but it is only difficult for the city hall and the police to It's just a bizarre case solved."

"But it's real at Fort Midhill. I thought August was just an accident, didn't expect that to be the case. ."

"Has the church ever explained the situation?"

"It is rumored that in Mount Sikar."

Shade looked towards Window, from the window on the third floor, you can directly see the mountain range that has been shrouded in mist. Sikar Mountain is a part of the Rommel Mountains, and the continuous mountain range is like a giant dragon in the hometown of foreigners, lying in the distance of the city.

"Under Mount Sikar, there is an ambiguous area connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead. The church calls it the [Little Space between Life and Death]."

Although this world There is no "underworld", but because the dead go on, there is a clear boundary between the living and the dead. This "boundary" is just a conceptual thing, Shade has never heard of it, there is such a place:
"This is not normal, there should be no such place."

Shade points out , Sister nodded:

"This is indeed abnormal, death and the material world should not have any connection, nor should there be a passage connecting the two, but the material world does have a similar narrow space. Some of them are small in scale, and Midhill Fort is built on top of the largest known life-death boundary. This is the boundary, including the white fog that must appear every autumn in Mount Sikor and people who disappear inexplicably. The boundaries of the world are blurred, resulting in the direct overlap between the world of the living and the world of the dead.”

Ms. Michel sighed softly:
“Once falling into that boundary, it is almost equivalent to death; Entering a special door in the [Little Space between Life and Death], you truly enter into irreversible death. There, the concept of death itself is really connected."

"These rumors you mentioned. , are all local legends?”

These things were not mentioned in the folklore-related courses of the Second Ring Warlock.

"No, there is a lot of evidence that this is true. Mr. Watson, the Order established long ago that there is indeed something under this Mount Sikar, this volcano."

>

Shade was stunned:
"Volcano? Sorry, please forgive my rudeness. Mount Sikar is a volcano? My geology and geography are not good, but it's not a volcanic terrain."

"It's an extinct volcano."

Ms. Michelle said that although she was wearing a crown-like blindfold, Shade couldn't see her eyes, but the woman Obviously not joking:

"The Orthodox Church knows about the [Living Room] at the bottom of Mount Sikar, but they do not disclose any information to the outside world. The Church believes that it is actually a very dangerous place. Relic."

"Angel?"

Shade asked tentatively, but Ms. Michelle shook her head slightly.

"Agnostic?"

He stared wide-eyed.

"The Order thinks so. There are some things that are inconvenient to tell you, but in fact, the Order has been exploring the secrets here. We revere death, we perceive spirituality. You can peep into it Appearing, even peeping into that twisting terrifying Death Power, and looking like nothing at all, is incredible in my opinion."

Ms. Michele concluded:
" Judging from the current information, Lat Augustus priority should not have entered the door in the [Living Chamber], but just fell into the [Living Chamber]. The ghoul you encountered is because Appears because of blurred boundaries."

"It's like this, then you help to dispose of the corpse of the ghoul, and the valuables on it are regarded as rewards."

Shade used Putting his hand on his head, he said, this situation is really an unimaginable trouble. Just a day ago, with the help of Tifa, he was making the final preparations for the Ayutthaya Players Final, but 24 hours later, he heard another terrifying rumor here.

Today is Thursday, the 19th day of the harvest month. From the leisure time at the beginning of the month to now, after more than half a month of rest time, the outsiders understand that their own adventure is about to begin again.

The nun whispered:

"Thank you for your generosity."

It is not difficult to dig up a buried corpse, but the mighty ghoul of mutation The material that can be separated is indeed valuable. The most valuable of these are ghoul brains and ghoul lungs, which can sell for at least £20 at Mr Copps in Tobesque.

Shade is willing to give it to the other party, in addition to expressing gratitude, but also because he is in this city, I am afraid that he needs more help from the [spirit cultivator order].

"So assuming the priest did fall into that place, is there a way to get him out?"

Shade asked again.

"You can only come out by yourself. That kind of area where life and death are ambiguous is not something we living people can interfere with. Once you can't leave for a long time, or you really cross the border, cross the border between life and death.

If you enter the world of the dead, you will never be able to get out again."

Shade nodded, he almost understood the meaning of the "dead but not dead" state of the priest. The priest thinks that he can't get out, so he will use his last strength to enter Shade's dream and say goodbye to him.

"Then I will stay in Fort Midhill for the next period of time until the Priest is rescued."

Shade stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the continuous mountain range in the setting sun:

“It will definitely happen.”

“I wish you luck.”

Ms. Michelle whispered.

It's not that she's reluctant to offer direct help, she's really powerless.

PS: Originally, Sister Michele only knew that the priority could not be found, so she didn't think of [Life and Death]. It was because of Shade's investigation that he realized that the Priest disappeared abruptly, so he came to a conclusion.

PS2: Ask for a ticket, the intermission [Ayutthaya Player] is over, and the import of Third Volume is over. The personnel arrangement is in place, the stage arrangement is completed, and the main line of Third Volume officially begins.
