The two people hugged each other tightly in the fog, trying to vent some unspeakable emotions caused by "desire" in this way. In the end, Shade was the first to wake up and wanted to push Megan away.
But the body dominated by the sorceress instantly switched to that dominated by the witch, and she continued the kiss even more passionately.
Apparently both Meghan and Audrey were affected.
In the end, Shade successfully separated from Audrey. At this time, both of them were completely awake, but Shade still felt a fire jumping in his heart. He only hoped that Luvia's horoscope would not last very late tonight.
The witch didn't know what Shade was thinking. She wiped her lips and felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest:
"You are very skilled."
She said, biting her lips again, and reaching out to touch her face. The appearance covered by illusion disappeared, revealing her true appearance. In fact, she didn't change much, but her face became more refined.
That beauty is also beyond the normal level, and even because her complexion is pale, she has some special charm that other witches don't have.
Golden eyes looked at Shade:
"Am I pretty?"
"very beautiful."
Shade praised, thought for a while, and revealed his true face. However, neither Megan nor Audrey could recognize who it was. Although Shade's photos have appeared in newspapers, most of them are from the side.
Or a photo from the back. In addition, the black and white photo had distortion problems, so she did not immediately think of the Tobesk detective.
"Are you feeling better? Feeling better, let's set off."
Shade suggested, the witch nodded slightly, subconsciously hooked her little finger, and then felt the vibration of the golden thread:
"Much better. Let's set off. There are still many things to do today."
After saying that, she moved forward again and touched Shade's lips with her lips. She was greedy for this kind of temperature that made her soul vibrate:
"If everything goes well today, come to my place for dinner tonight. Let's discuss what you will wear when I attend the banquet on Friday. I think you are not good at it, so prepare yourself a banquet dress?"
She was indeed right, Shade's clothes were prepared by the girls around him, and Lesia was particularly interested in this.
"At the banquet, I will definitely tell you everything and let you meet my friends."
She held Xia De's hand, and Xia De turned to look at her and said cautiously:
"As long as you are not angry with me then, you can do anything."
He became more and more worried about what the red-haired duchess had planned.
The terrain of the central island of Green Lake is generally relatively flat in the north and mostly mountainous in the south. The island is not large in area. The town of Green Lake is located in the north of the island, and the mansion of the Edwards family is located almost in the center of the island.
In order to obtain the key today, Audrey did not take Shad to the Green Lake Town Cemetery in the forest. Instead, she entered the abandoned Green Lake Town through the forest path, and then took Shad towards the cemetery.
Moving to the southeast of the town, we finally stopped in front of a very ordinary building.
Most of the buildings in Green Lake Town are low, and the two-story building in front of them is located on the edge of the town, but it doesn’t look much different from other buildings. When Shade first landed on the island with Megan, although he was in the town I walked around but didn't enter the building.
"This is the residence of the mineralogist Mr. Ludy McMahon. I investigated his life. He was an accomplished mineralogist in the academic field who lived more than a hundred years ago in the town of Green Lake. He moved to the island five years ago and died half a year before the town was abandoned."
Megan looked at the building and said:
"I found the descendants of the surviving townspeople, and after asking around, I confirmed that the scholar was actually not dead, but missing. After the townspeople searched to no avail, they could only think that he was dead. Therefore, he did not have a cemetery, nor There are no bones."
"I remember that your key requires precious metals such as adamantine, mithril and orichalcum... Is this scholar still in the house?"
Shade asked, Megan nodded slightly:
"Yes, I even suspect that his disappearance is related to my ancestor. Come with me. If you want to see him, you don't need to be lost in space like a blacksmith, but it is definitely not easy. "
She opened the door and walked in with Shade.
The house was not big, and Meghan was very familiar with the internal structure. She led Shade through the living room to the stairs, and then took him to the bedroom on the second floor.
Because this is just an ordinary house in a small town, even the explorers who landed on the island did not come to search specifically. Everything in the room is still there.
Megan brought Shade to the desk, and then pointed to the oil painting hanging on the wall above the desk:
"This is it."
More than a hundred years ago, there was no mature photography technology today, so if people wanted to record their appearance, oil painting was a good choice. The oil painting on the wall is the portrait of the mineralogist, although it doesn't look like much at first glance. Something special, but when Shade reached out and touched it, he did feel the traces of the elements:
"How to call out the soul?"
Shade asked, and Audrey pointed to the display cabinet on the side of the room, which displayed various stones:
"Solve the puzzle, yes, don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding. Every time I come here, the placement of the stones here will be slightly different. You need to select the stones with extraordinary properties and put them on the desk. The soul of the scholar Only then can it appear. The reason why it is said to be a puzzle is because there are clues in the room."
"Well...how did you know these rules when you first came here? Someone put the rule book on the desk?"
"I know from my father's belongings that the Edwards who left at the beginning should all have similar key clues."
Megan's tone was a little low, but she shook her head to dispel the emotion. Judging from the current situation, it would be easier for the descendants of the Edwards family to die than to live:
"Stop talking so much, there are 23 stones in total, let's do it."
There is a special power in this room, which is used to prevent the ring wizards from directly sensing whether the stone is an ordinary stone, and can only use knowledge to distinguish. Shade is actually very curious. If he breaks the display cabinet and puts his hand directly on the stone,
Whether perception could play a role, but he was cautious and did not do so.
Audrey was obviously not here for the first time. She recognized most of the 23 stones. The remaining stones that stumped the great witch of wisdom and knowledge were mostly precious ores that are rarely seen in this era, and those stones
For Shade, who owns [Witch Reverberation], some of them are very familiar - most of the magic potions and alchemy knowledge of witches contain materials that can no longer be found in this era.
The two finally identified 20 stones in total. Although the remaining three stones were unrecognizable, Audrey relied on her experience in solving puzzles here several times and took less than an hour to identify them from the room.
Their names and functions are found here.
So five stones were placed on the desk. After a while, as the stones turned into sand and scattered on the table, the man frozen in the oil painting suddenly blinked and then moved in the frame:
"Descendants of Edwards, are you here again?"
His tone was not as rigid as the blacksmith that Shade and Audrey had come into contact with, but unfortunately it was not as spiritual as a normal soul.
The witch nodded slightly and took out the materials she prepared for the key:
"You asked for any one of the three special metals, and I found orichalcum for you. There are also black pearls. You asked for steel ingots with a specific carbon content. The Edwards family's memories of research experiments, the blood of family members, and Wuxia
A deep orange gemstone, Green Crest Ore.”
Among them, [Green Crest Ore] Shade has come into contact with before. He found a piece in the water ghost's lair and still keeps it at home. This kind of ore can allow people who do not have space talents to temporarily gain space talents through special means. There are many ores.
Produced in an unstable area of space. "Family memories of research experiments" is a yellowed notebook page written with dense text.
"Give them to me."
The man in the frame said, and with a clicking sound, the portrait bounced slightly off the wall. Open the portrait to the right, and behind it is a hidden compartment in the wall where items can be placed.
Shade looked at Audrey and asked her if she needed help putting the ores and materials in, but the witch told Shade not to worry:
"You said last time that if I was willing to give you something more, would you be willing to reveal some other information to me?"
She frowned slightly:
"Can I tell you now what exactly I want to give you?"
She reached for her satchel, obviously preparing a lot of things in advance.
The man in the portrait nodded:
"The Philosopher's Stone."
"Are you kidding me?"
Audrey asked in a stern tone, so the man said again:
"Or two of the other three special metals. The more you give me, the more I can tell you."
In other words, "Adamantine" and "Mithril".
The brown-haired lady breathed a sigh of relief and first took out the mithril. It was only half the size of a fingernail and was placed in a small glass bottle. As for the fine gold, Audrey looked at Shade, who nodded:
"Just use the one I have."
His fine gold came from the life money of the ring warlock who used the invisible sword during the group mission. Later, when he asked Megan for blood, he left it with the witch and never got it back.
Audrey nodded again:
"I will make it up to you."
Those fine gold ores have been smelted and purified into fine gold by her. The amount is also very small, only the volume of a complete thumb.
So all the materials were transferred by the two people to the secret compartment behind the portrait. When Shade pushed the portrait back to its original position, the man in the portrait already had an extra key in his hand.
He threw the key and looked at Audrey outside the portrait with an expression of pity:
"You can't defeat your ancestor. You can't imagine how terrifying he is."
