"This is it, the magical item - the Butterfly Summoning Flute, which can enhance the effect of my spell."
Shade's hand held the slightly cold metal silver flute tightly, and the joy in his heart was as if butterflies were dancing in his heart. Although the power of the [Butterfly Summoning Flute] is far less than that of the [God's Gift Box], which is also a creation of the gods, this piece
Items suit him as well.
Although there were some twists and turns, the target was found in one day, and it went really smoothly. Hundreds of bright red butterflies flew out of the sleeves, which were enough to cover the entire church. The butterflies pulled out red light marks in the illusion.
It stopped at various places in the church where the candles were almost extinguished, and the light illuminated every corner of the church.
The effect of the illusion increased, and the time he could maintain the "Red Butterfly" form also increased.
Miss Benenice looked at the flying butterflies, and then picked up two palm-sized gray stone slabs from inside the coffin:
"Let me take a look at this ordinary item. It should be made of special materials to avoid being devoured by the language of the Fifth Age. Was it left behind by the Witch Emperor at the end of the Fifth Age?"
Shade, who was admiring his own illusion, looked at her unexpectedly:
"Wait a minute, the time when Sister St. Perry died was hundreds of years before the end of the Fifth Era."
"Yes, wait a minute. Let me see that at the end of the Fifth Era, the Witch Emperor who ruled this area discovered this secret church cemetery and came here. She was also unable to completely eradicate the pollution here. This place is different from ordinary
'Crazy Earth' was different, so they strengthened the seal, reported it to the Council, and left this slate. It turns out that it said that the black mud will swallow everything, but will not affect ordinary stones and soil, so this slate can
In perfect condition.”
From this point of view, the arrogant and lewd Witch Emperors are still very useful. Including sealing the narrow chamber of life and death in Mount Sikar, they have done many things that are unknown in this era, but are extremely important.
"This briefly explains the problem of the crazy earth in Randall Valley, and it is speculated that the problem will become more and more serious. The ancient divine magic of the Power of the Earth series is the most effective way to combat this problem."
Miss Benenice said, frowning slightly as she looked at the contents of the slate:
"That's why your [Power of the Earth·Healing Aura] is so effective. What's the last part of this poem?"
"Miss Carina told me about the Chosen One. You know, I also know Sister Devlin. What did it say?"
Shade was overjoyed when Miss Benanis translated the words:
"The chosen ones of the earth. In this place. Ceremonial time, at the turn of winter and spring."
Shade knew all this, and he even knew that the time was at the turn of winter and spring because the "Feast of the Earth Mother" needed to be held at that time for the best effect.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all."
She showed the slate to Shade, and then said rather embarrassedly:
"This is a relic of the Witch Emperor to the Council."
"It belongs to you. We will take risks together, and the spoils should be divided equally."
Shade said, and then looked at the last item. It was a pure white hand bone with dense golden letters engraved on it. This item has a very strong miraculous element and is the core of the entire seal. It can cross
Two eras have trapped this black mud here. Apart from the later help of the unknown Witch Emperor, this hand bone is the key.
Of course, if there are no accidents, this is also the last remains of the "Sister Saint Perry" who voluntarily sacrificed her life.
Out of respect, Miss Benenice asked Shade to pick it up. When Shade took it out of the coffin, the old woman's voice sounded in the church again.
Shade and Miss Bernice turned their heads and discovered that the old man wearing a nun's robe was sitting on the first row of chairs in the hall.
The old face looked at Shade with a smile:
"It describes the learning method of [Power of the Earth, Field of Fertility]. My hand bones are a one-time material for ritual learning. With this magic, the surrounding plants can grow better. Of course, the most critical function is,
Within the scope of the Crazy Earth, all creatures in a certain area centered on itself are protected from environmental influences and can avoid the black mud. But unfortunately, it is only a protection and cannot be completely dispelled like You."
This is equivalent to opening up a "safe zone" that moves with itself. This spell is almost useless for the "Evil Spirit·Crazy Land" area that Shade and Miss Lassus saw in the manor. But for them during the day
This is quite useful for the "Petrified Crazy Land" encountered.
"Are you leaving?"
The witch asked softly, and the old man smiled and shook his head:
"I said half an hour ago that I have left long ago. What you see of me is just an obsession and a memory. Thank you very much for completely solving the problem before it caused big trouble here. In this church
All the belongings belong to you, and this is one of the few things I can repay you with."
This church looks dilapidated, but there are still some decorations from the previous era. The coffin and the eight chains are also very unusual.
"You are the one worthy of respect. May the earth be with you and me."
The witch put her right hand on her left shoulder and bowed slightly to express her respect. Then, she heard a language she didn't understand at all:
"Mr. Hamilton, I didn't expect you to help me again after a thousand years. Before I died, I thought about who could solve the problem in the end."
It's the language of the Fifth Age, and it has a heavy accent. Even if Miss Benanis had learned ancient language, she couldn't tell what was being said because of the accent and speed of speech.
Shade showed a relieved expression. Sister Perry indeed remembered him:
"So, who won in the end?"
He asked the most curious question, but Sister Perry shook her head slightly, and her body gradually became transparent. This place was purified, and her mission was completed:
"The results are very interesting. You can enjoy knowing the results yourself. But I can tell you that Mr. Lyman was eventually buried in this valley. I was one hundred and twenty-three years old when I died. His
The family had already multiplied here at that time.”
Among the three people who attended the banquet of the Butterfly God, the nun belonged to this diocese, and the witch Miss Blechet believed in [The Forgotten Old Man]. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lyman, who had no connection with the local area, was actually buried there in the end.
"Mr. Lyman, I also left something for you in the cemetery."
The elderly Sister Perry said softly:
"When he died of heart failure at the age of 63, he entrusted me with the care of his family. I can still sense that his family is still thriving in this city. If you feel necessary, you can go find that item
, it will also be very useful to you.”
"Thanks."
Shade said seriously, but the old man shook his head with a smile, and his language returned to the common language of Kasonrik in the Sixth Age:
"Young people, there are two more things you need to know.
First of all, besides me, there are some people guarding this city in secret. Even if we can't completely solve the problem, I can detect that there are still people, a group of people, doing something silently. They are the Randall Valley
Guardians, if you still want to do something, you can try to find them."
"Is there any help locally?"
Shade suspected that the man who gave him the "power of the earth" in the Emerald Dream was one of them.
"Also, about five hundred years ago, some extremely evil force came to this place. It's hard for me to tell you what it was, but it was extremely powerful, extremely cunning, and extremely patient. You must be careful, the other party knows my
Cemetery, I have never taken the initiative to test this place. But I know that the other party uses the 'petrified rose' as a symbol. If you meet, you must not face the other party directly."
There may be other secrets in the ancient Randall River Valley.
"Thanks."
Miss Benenice said softly, and the old nun shook her head again:
"No, I should be the one saying thank you. Witch of the Sixth Age, I wish you can go further than your predecessors."
The old nun's body was almost completely transparent. She looked at Shade for the last time, showing an expression of nostalgia:
"Thank you very much, thank you for everything you have done. May the sun and the earth be with you. Maybe the road ahead will not be easy, but... thank you."
The light spots dispersed, and Sister St. Peri disappeared completely, leaving only a sun-patterned metal holy symbol on the chair. The power contained in the holy symbol was even stronger than the hand bones.
"So, not only Sister Perry, but Mr. Lyman also left [Worm Cave] alive."
Shade thought to himself, and then realized that the witch beside him was still looking at him:
"She used honorifics towards you."
"After we leave, we can explain other things."
Shade said, and Miss Benenice nodded suspiciously. Miss Carina told her that Shade had many secrets of his own.
Shade waved gently, and the glowing Holy Emblem on the bench flew into his hand under the guidance of the spell. The style of the Holy Emblem of the Righteous God [Old Man with the Lamp] has never changed. This one comes from the Fifth Age.
The Holy Emblem of the Sun is the most powerful Holy Emblem Shade has ever seen so far.
He even believed that just performing a simple ceremony around the Holy Emblem would be enough to use the power of the Holy Emblem to temporarily create a sanctuary. This was not only the power of the righteous god, but also the power left by "Sister Saint Perry".
The encounter between Shade and this respectable middle-aged nun in the Fifth Age has not yet ended, but her ending has been witnessed by Shade. Although he has been at both ends of the long river of time countless times, lamenting the stories and years, this time
Sometimes I still feel like sighing.
The flying red butterflies were taken back by him, and the expulsion of pollution allowed the power of the gods to return here. It is still winter, but green grass and small flowers have emerged from the cracks in the bricks on the ground. In the coming year, the place will probably be full of flowers.
It's just that the nuns who have been here all the time can no longer see this scene.
