At 8:13 in the evening, while passing through a swamp covered with heavy snow, the undead horse summoned by Miss Aurora was grabbed by the hoof of the horse by the bone hand extending from the swamp. This did not prevent the undead horse from continuing to move forward, but it caused
The undead mount suddenly mutated, and then frantically tried to get the people off the horse.
Although it only took a short time to destroy these crazy undead, the mounts that were summoned again were still crazy. As a last resort, Miss Aurora and Miss Carina checked the swamp under the snow and removed the silt.
The terrifying undead with hundreds of hands hidden in it were pulled out and burned into black ashes in the blizzard. Only then did the undead summons in this area temporarily return to normal.
The malice of the Great Swamp was becoming more and more obvious to these outsiders as the group continued to move forward. Before setting off, Shade was glad that this battlefield was far away from human settlements. No matter how powerful the fight was, he didn't have to worry about other people.
But now it seems that this kind of isolated fighting location in an inaccessible area is not good for them. After all, Lykins Plisha has the help of the Pantanal Voodoo Society, and Miss Pavo also works with the Voodoo Society.
It is a cooperative relationship, and their trip to Huxin Island is as easy as returning home.
At 8:57 in the evening, without any warning, the horse at the end disappeared silently, and above it was Miss Aurora and her follower Miss Scarlett.
Neither Shade nor the other two great witches could find out when they disappeared.
But Miss Carina asked everyone to move forward without worrying:
"Her summons still exist, and she is the strongest among us. Now it is not so much that Xi Wei and Scarlett have disappeared, but that we have disappeared."
After Miss Aurora temporarily leaves the team, this eleventh-level witch will be the temporary leader of the team:
"Before we set off, we expected that we would be scattered along the way. Let's keep moving forward and Xiwei will find us."
The next night around nine o'clock, the group encountered a naturally formed abnormal space area. Miss Sylvia and Shade used the power of space to temporarily suppress the circulating space, allowing the group to escape temporarily.
After another strong earthquake and a flash of light in the eastern snowy night, Shade and Miss Sylvia, who were checking whether the abnormal space area had expanded due to the earthquake, unexpectedly found Miss Carina waiting for them behind them.
Together with two other sorceresses, Miss Avril and Miss Catherine, they disappeared into the blizzard.
"If we look at the number of people, we should have disappeared this time."
Sylvia didn't look worried at all. She tightened her scarf and said to Shade with a smile:
"If we are forced to separate later, just move forward on your own, don't worry about me."
As she spoke, she took off the ring on her left hand and handed it to Shade. It was a sage-level relic [ancient witch's gold ring, second from left]. Although the wearer will receive the witch's curse, it will also enhance all extraordinary powers:
"You need it more than me."
The young witch with black shawl hair said, and just as she said, when they continued to move forward and reached a position two miles (about 3.2km) away from the deepest lake in the swamp, they dismounted with Shade.
, Miss Sylvia, who was checking the edge of the dense fog area, also lost her trace.
The angel-level relic [The Persistent Fog Miasma] seemed to be cut off at the middle at some invisible line. Although the fog was thick behind me, in front of me I could clearly see the ancient swamp road in the snowstorm in the late winter.
Shade led the horse that was still following him and crossed the line to the area where the fog did not exist. After feeling the moment of confusion and the throbbing pain in his temples, he immediately understood what was going on:
"The whispering element and the blasphemous element... There has been a problem with the seal of the evil object in Pantanal. The angel-level relic is not cut off here, but it does not dare to move forward at all. After all, it is only angel-level, not
Unknowable level.”
He looked down at the clear footprints left by Miss Sylvia on the snow:
"This is the third time someone has disappeared. This is not a change in space power."
[Similar to some kind of natural phenomenon, the power of evil things in subspace has begun to affect reality. But there should be no danger. There are still many secrets in this swamp.]
"No matter what, let's move on. The witches are stronger than me, so it's me who should be worried. But this time, I'm the only one."
He thought silently in his mind, got on his horse, and pulled the scarf upward to cover the lower half of his face.
【Is not it good?】
"She" asked with a smile, and the howling wind in the dark night could not obscure her voice.
"It's hard to evaluate."
Shade grabbed the reins and prepared to continue setting off, but suddenly frowned and looked ahead.
The visibility in the blizzard was quite low, but he confirmed that before he mounted his horse, there was no one among the horrible dead trees hung with frost. But at this time, the lady who was still wearing a long skirt even in the middle of the night in the blizzard was hugging her
The big book stood not far away.
The familiar long dress with black top and red bottom and the large silver book that shimmered slightly in the snowy night all reminded Shade of the other party's identity.
Miss Paavo nodded and smiled at the man on the horse. The wind and snow pulled the hem of her skirt and swayed it backwards, but there were no snowflakes on her body. If you look closely, you can see that the shoes under her skirt are standing directly on the snow instead of sinking into it.
into the thick snow.
Shade dismounted again, holding the reins and looking at Miss Pavo from a distance.
"My book tells me that when I reach this location now, I can see the person who has the highest probability of hindering the ceremony tonight."
Miss Pavo's voice was a little blurry due to the howling wind. She did not recognize Shad. After all, Shad's entire face was covered with only his eyes exposed. When riding a horse in a snowstorm, you must take the most basic protection.
measure.
"I thought I would meet the first two chosen ones, Miss Bayas and Sister Devlin, or the crazy women from the Witch Council, but I didn't expect to meet you..."
She looked at the bloated Shade and asked hesitantly:
"Godcaller?"
Shade didn't speak a word. In his hand that was not holding the reins, silver-white thunder exploded. This was the casting action of the thaumaturgy [Thunder Spear].
Miss Paavo smiled and took two steps back. She seemed not to care about her surroundings at all:
"We met at Schluch Lake in Lakeview Manor. At that time, your companion was an unattractive lady and an ugly dog. I was quite impressed by your thunder gun. Sir, I don't want to be with you.
You fight here."
She took a step back slightly:
"Just curious who is the most interesting person tonight."
Shade still didn't speak and looked at the other party quietly. Without other means, he certainly couldn't defeat the lady in front of him, and his means were prepared for the chosen one. If possible, he didn't want to waste his time here.
"Now that I've met you, I think I should... almost forget something."
She smiled and said to Shade:
"The crazy seeker of knowledge - Mr. Lykins Priscia, is a person with a strong sense of ritual. When he learned about the Voodoo Society, our people and his other helpers went in different directions to intercept the intruders.
After entering, he asked us to bring you a message..."
Obviously, the ring magician organization that helped Lykins Prisha is not just the Pantanal Voodoo Order and the Society of Truth. Just like the Witch Council wants to take the lead in the epic of the Sixth Age, with the Chosen
The rumors spread to the entire material world, and they were not the only ones who had this idea.
"What did he say?"
Shade asked in extremely proficient Kassenric.
"The chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom, if they want to touch the crown of wisdom, need to pass the five tests of the secret keeper. And you, the spectators, if you want to witness the ceremony of the chosen one, bathe in the enlightenment of the ceremony
, naturally you also need to pass the test. We are still two miles away from the final ceremony location, and the danger ahead is the test."
She said with a smile and backed away slowly. Obviously, like Shade, she was not willing to fight with someone she could not defeat here.
"Viewer? This title is quite appropriate... Do you know that the number of wise man's pyroxenes is five?"
Shade frowned slightly, Miss Pavo's voice was quite clear in the wind and snow:
"Yes, this part of the content is on a stone tablet unearthed on the eastern coast of the Old World this summer."
The poem may mention the same content repeatedly in different paragraphs, just like a normal poem may mention sentences such as "the sun is shining" in different paragraphs. Therefore, Miss Pavo knows about "Five Pyroxenes"
Although it was unexpected, it was not surprising. What Shade was curious about now was that since she already knew about the "Five Pyroxenes", why was she always looking for the "Secret of Agelessness"?
This lady will not do meaningless things. She chased Margaret from Huntington to Tobesk. The secret hidden in "The Secret of Agelessness" seems to be more important than Shade thought. If Lu Wei
Ya's divination this time was as terrifyingly accurate as every time before. Shade could almost imagine what was in "The Secret of Agelessness".
The problem is, he doesn't know how to take it out.
"Please wait."
Shade stopped the sorceress who was about to leave, and still asked in Kasenric:
"You call Lykins Priscia a 'mad seeker', how about I call you a 'sane mathematician'?"
"My pleasure."
The sorceress bowed slightly in the snow.
"You are helping the Chosen One for the enlightenment of the Chosen One Ceremony. So, does the Society of Truth know that the Chosen One with knowledge and wisdom is not necessarily Lykins Prisha?"
"Just like the chosen one of death is not our Joey Barton, but the blind nun?"
She raised her head and looked at the man holding the horse, with a slightly more serious expression on her face:
"After the Middleburg incident, speculation about the existence of a candidate system for the elected has appeared. It seems that you really know more things."
"I can tell you who the lower candidate is for the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom, but you have to answer me a question."
On a snowy night, dark clouds cover the starry sky and the moon, and there is no light source here. On the snowy surface of the ancient road between dry woods, a young gentleman holding a horse looks at a young woman wearing an autumn dress from a distance.
The expressions of both of them were a little serious, and the doubts in Shade's heart needed to be verified. Miss Paavo whispered softly:
"Of course. Even compared to the lower-ranked candidates, I am more curious about this - Godcaller, what is the question that deserves you to tell me such an important answer at this moment?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
ps: Let me state here that Miss Paavo will not be the heroine, nor will she be forcibly whitewashed. There is always a need for important supporting villains who appear for a long time. For example, "Hermons the Bloodweeper", which has two volumes offline.
