"Speaking of which, the Black Mist Camp is also filled with chains of sin."
Shade thought of this again, and then decided to ask his question at the moment:
"Is there any reason why you asked me this question?"
"The chains you hold are not power that anyone can hold. Cherish this power. You may not understand what it means now, but one day you will realize that the person who gave you this power
, what kind of gift did I give you?"
This answer is basically no answer, but at least it shows that the [Sin Chain] is a very unique power. Shade knew it was unique from the beginning. After all, it can directly affect the thaumaturgy of the Ring Warlock's life ring. So far, he has only
Came across this one.
You know, even if it is a relic that can directly affect the Ring Warlock's life ring and "another self", so far he has only seen the mirror in the underground ruins of Tobesk.
The transaction has been completed. In the blazing flames on the other side of the rift, a corpse lying on the ground appeared on the right side of Mr. Richard Jackman, who originally used his spirit body to seal the rift.
And the corpse was clearly identical to the soul.
The soul cannot move due to the sealing of the crack, and the body naturally cannot move either. But in the eyes of Shade and Miss Higgins, the two are gradually getting closer until they become one.
"The spaces coincide? Or is the earth moving?"
Naturally, no one answered this question. After obtaining the body, the man who was suffering in the flames actually stood up. The god at the top of the bell tower waved his hand, and golden light appeared, temporarily blocking the cracks on the ground that were spitting out flames.
Although there were still flames burning behind the crack, the young knight with scars all over his body still staggered against the flames and came step by step to the crack opened by the gods. Through this crack, he could see everything on the top of the bell tower.
People, of course, can also see the elderly Mrs. Myers.
Even though his soul was enduring severe pain at this time, even though this long-dead body had no power, he still relied on his last wish, a lifetime of guilt, and hard steps to finally reach the bell tower.
The promise made half a century ago, after years of waiting, and after countless sunrises and sunsets, was finally realized in this dilapidated and strange clock tower. When I saw with my own eyes the figure that appeared countless times in my dream walking from the fire
, hearing heavy footsteps appearing in the bell tower, even though Mrs. Miles had prepared for this moment all her life, she still trembled all over, and the tears that burst out instantly blurred her vision:
"Richard!"
The knight who staggered forward also called out the name:
"Sarah!"
Shade frowned slightly. Although the young knight walked out of the crack, his soul and body were combined, but he didn't look like a living person. It was just a body controlled by the soul.
However, the soul can be considered free in this way, which is at least much better than sealing the cracks of the devil's flame.
At least Miss Higgins didn't care at all whether the man was alive or dead. Seeing that she was moved, she returned the rusty knight's sword in her hand to the man who still had a strong smell of sulfur, Shade
Then he reached into his pocket, took out a wreath that could be worn on his head, and handed it to the trembling Mrs. Miles.
The agreement between the two of them back then was that Mrs. Miles would weave a wreath of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme that bloomed at the intersection of her hometown to welcome her lover's return. However, Shad had no way of knowing this in advance, so his wreath was
Woven with roses, laurels, baby's breath and tulips. He didn't even make it himself, but bought it from the flower shop run by Agelina's maids on Silver Cross Avenue - garlands are also commonly used
Ritual symbols.
Mrs. Miles took the wreath with her trembling hands, and her eyes blurred by tears stared at the young knight who hung the sword back on his waist.
Then, both of them stepped towards each other. The young Richard Jackman lowered his head slightly, and the old Sarah Miles put the wreath on his head.
The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, and then they hugged tightly:
"I'm back, Sarah."
"Welcome back, Richard."
The sentence that should have been spoken many, many years ago was finally spoken just now.
The god looked at this scene with a smile, and was very satisfied with the story that the mortals showed in front of them. This is more precious than gold. Miss Higgins once again felt a yearning for love in her heart, and at the same time she complained that when she was young, she did not take the initiative to pursue the beauty around her.
girl.
At this moment, Shade also has many new ideas in his mind. He really admires the two people in front of him, whether it is Mrs. Miles who spends her whole life waiting for a promise that has a high probability of not being fulfilled, or the young knight who wants to reunite
He made a promise and did not hesitate to use his own soul to block the terrible demonic flames. This is enough to be written into poetry and has been sung and praised for thousands of years.
"Is this loyalty to love?"
He thought silently in his heart, and then thought of himself and his relationship with the girls. However, he was no longer confused in his heart. Even if he could not be like the two people in front of him, he only cared about one person in his heart.
A person has a lifetime, but he can also do it. In order to wait for someone and to fulfill the promise he made, he will never let anyone down even if he uses up all his strength.
The two people hugging each other were sobbing. For both of them, this scene had been waiting for too long. Their hug was so strong, it was as if they wanted to rub each other into each other's bodies and never be separated again.
.
"oh!"
Miss Higgins suddenly let out a sigh with some horror, because she really saw that the body of the living Mrs. Miles was merging with the body of the dead knight. The souls who missed each other wanted to hold tightly together.
Embracing each other, the bodies that separated the souls truly merged according to their ideas.
First the chest, then the arms, and then the head. They slowly sat down by the fire, their bodies gradually hunched over, until their bones touched each other and forcibly fused together in a heart-wrenching sound.
"That's why I said, this is a horror story."
Shade thought in his mind and stopped Miss Higgins to prevent her from getting closer:
"Look carefully, we can't stop this."
Black smoke floated out from the two twisted bodies, and the choking smell of sulfur became stronger than before. The soul of the knight with the devil's flame was so hot, when the temperature of the soul itself burst out due to emotion, the temperature
The body melts and complies with the master's wishes so that they will never be separated.
Mrs. Miles did not resist, and the melting of her body could not stop her from contacting her lover's soul. After the scorching temperature gradually dissipated, forcing Shade and Miss Higgins to retreat, the black flames completely engulfed them. And when the flames
Dissipated, and all that was left beside the campfire were two white bones fused together.
Since the Green Lake Incident, Shade has seen many different fusion monsters. But only the white bones he saw now seemed to him not only not scary and weird, but also somewhat holy.
Skeletons are twisted and intertwined, and bone spurs are intertwined with each other. The bones themselves have a color like white jade, with strong elements of miracles and profanity.
Next to the bones, the souls of Mrs. Miles and Mr. Jackman were holding hands, looking at their corpses blankly. The god smiled and pointed at the strange-shaped bones, letting them come to the front of Shade and Miss Higgins.
:
"Do you understand?"
The two of them touched the bones with their hands, and then different visions appeared behind them.
Behind Miss Higgins, at the end of the original nine steps, the phantom of the tenth step slowly appeared. And behind Shade, in the thick steam mist, accompanied by the sound of whistles and bells, the phantom of the tenth step slowly appeared.
On the huge brass ring, the brass-colored aura symbolizing "enlightenment" is like the copper-colored sun appearing on the top of the dim clock tower.
[If you love someone, you will wait for her all your life; if you love others, you will protect all happiness. The attraction between soul and soul, the fusion of body and body, and loyal love can span long time and distant space. The most distant place in the world
The distance is the longing between soul and soul.】
[Outlander, you have witnessed the story of "The Lovers in the Bell Tower". 】
All this happened naturally, as if it should belong to Shade:
[Outlander, you have engraved the brass enlightenment rune - Bell Tower Lover.]
Not surprisingly, the last spiritual rune of the Six Rings belonging to Shade appeared the moment his hand touched the skeleton.
He turned around to look at his life ring and understood that this spiritual rune was the power of the fusion of his true understanding of "loyalty" and the emotion of witnessing this story.
The mystery lock has not yet appeared, which means that he has only understood the story and has not yet understood the power of the story. But it is enough. Shade has countless things in his heart at the moment that he wants to talk to his girls. Other people's stories are over.
, his story has just begun.
"Your soul can exist in the material world for 365 days, and then it will come to an end."
The god said to Mrs. Miles and the young knight, and they bowed deeply to express their gratitude. Then, Shade and Miss Higgins also bowed together to express their gratitude to the god.
As for the fused skeleton, it slowly floated towards the crack that still existed, and then replaced the soul of the original knight and blocked the huge gap in the ground. The dark flames wanted to escape from the gap, but were blocked by the skeleton.
The absorption makes them embrace closer and closer, and also causes them to gradually melt and merge with the crack.
In the end, the holy white bones completely filled the cracks, perfectly blocking the outlet of the flames. As for the remaining black flames on the ground, they were all absorbed by these strange bones.
