Shade, who was soaked in the rain, gradually walked out of the river, turned into a red butterfly and flew into the outlet in the middle that was still spitting water, and then turned into a human form and walked inward. The outlet was extremely huge, even if Shade
Even when he stood upright, the top of his head wouldn't touch his head. The water flowing out almost reached his knees, but Shade didn't care.
After walking more than ten steps inward, I stopped at "her" reminder. I closed my eyes and used "Powerful Spatial Perception", then opened my eyes again. In the huge pipe that originally had only water flow, there was actually an extra one.
Gold decorated metal box.
The box is a typical "treasure box". Not only is it made of gold, but it is also decorated with diamonds and various gemstones on the surface and joints. Even if you just take a look at it, you will know that there must be an incredible treasure in the box. But correspondingly, so
The exaggerated shape only appears when the opera troupe performs.
The box was almost completely submerged by the water, with only one top left above the water. The constant scouring did not make it rust or corrode, but only caused some garbage flowing along the water to wrap around the box. The surface of the box was still smooth, which was
The luster of wealth.
Amidst the huge splashing sound of water, Shade frowned slightly and took a step back. Then thunder exploded in his hand, and the dazzling spear formed by silver-white thunder was thrown out violently:
"Thunder Gun!"
Thaumatology bombarded the box head-on, and just as Shade thought, the box's surface, which had been dented due to the thunder gun bombardment, immediately "bounced" up.
Shade watched as two slender legs appeared under the box, supporting the box to stand up and freeing the box from the running water. Slender arms stretched out from both sides of the box, waving randomly in the air.
The lid of the box opened with a snap, but there was no gold or silver treasure inside. Instead, the sharp teeth and thick red tongue were exposed. With two slender legs as its legs and the treasure box itself as its body, this humanoid figure
The creature opened its big mouth and waved its slender hands towards Shade.
"It turns out it's you, the clerical relic - the Mimic."
This is a relatively well-known humanoid relic. Shade once saw this kind of thing on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" together with Lesia, whose pseudonym is "Miss Princes".
The characteristic that [Mimic Monsters] usually exhibit is that they turn into treasure boxes to attract people to open them, and then take the opportunity to eat the people who are attracted.
But different Mimic Monsters have different ways of behaving. For example, the one on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship" just blocks the only way to pass through the cabin corridor, while the Mimic Monster in Green Lake City uses hidden spaces.
He hides in the gaps, and then continuously throws "treasures" outward, attracting people to search for the source of the treasures.
If Shade guessed correctly, those people who came to hunt for treasure should have been eaten by it.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Shade took a step back and disappeared, allowing the monster that opened its arms to "hug" him to pounce.
Shade, who appeared behind the Mimic Monster, did not launch an attack. Instead, he threw two "Sin Chains" at the monster. The sound of the chains clattering was covered in the sound of water, and one of the chains was caught by the thin
The long-legged monster nimbly dodged, and another chain collided with the thick bright red tongue that popped out of the box mouth.
The impact was not loud, but what surprised Shade was that the Mimic Monster's tongue actually bounced off the [Chain of Sin]. This was the first time that the chain was completely bounced off. But when he thought that his [Greed] came from
This thing, and the relic of the Mimic Monster itself seemed to be a sin, so Shade was not very surprised.
The monster turned around and pounced on him again. Shade stood there and held his breath, counting one, two, three silently in his heart:
"Moonlight Great Sword!"
He thrust his hands forward with empty hands, and a silver sword appeared out of thin air and penetrated the "mouth" of the treasure chest. As a relic, this monster is extremely difficult to destroy. In addition to hypnotizing it like Lesia did in the past,
Apart from attacking after falling into a deep sleep state, its only weak point is its mouth.
However, Shade only had the second ring when he was in Coldwater Port, and he was able to deal with it with Lesia's cooperation. The battle at this time was certainly not difficult.
The great sword turned into dots of silver light and dispersed into the air. The monster's slender limbs and the treasure chest itself turned into lime gray, and then scattered into a pile of dust like sand sculptures, blending into the water.
Thump~dang~
Continuous jewels and gold and silver jewelry fell into the water along with the sand. These are the treasures contained in the "mimic monsters" themselves. In fact, after killing such monsters, in most cases, you can get their treasures.
Last time we were on the "Fishbone Pirate Ship", it was obvious that the pirates had looted all the monsters' treasures in advance, so there was no harvest at that time.
"These things have whispering elements attached to them, which will amplify people's greed. They must be processed before they can be sold, right? It's not just ordinary items?"
He looked at the shiny "hills" piled up in the water, squinted slightly, then bent down and put his hand into the water, then pierced the jewelry, and finally took out a key:
"The Key to Time."
Put the key away, then take out the handkerchief from your pocket, turn the handkerchief into cloth and cover it on the jewelry. Because they have the whispering element attached to them, it takes a little more spirit to turn them into toys, but Shade doesn't care.
.
He picked up the toys in his hand and straightened up to put them away. He was suddenly startled when he saw that there was an item under the slightly turbid water that had not been turned into a toy.
To be precise, it was not an object, it was a playing card lying under the water, but it was not damaged:
"What? This is"
Even Shade, who didn't have much emotion when he blew up the tavern just now, held his breath. He sensed his surroundings and confirmed that it was not a trap, then quickly bent down to pick up the card from the water, and then realized
The card was not damaged in the water because it was embedded in the center of a transparent glass plate.
He shook it gently a few times to shake off the water droplets on the glass plate. Then he saw that on the card, a man whose face could not be seen clearly had his back to the outside of the card, holding a book in one hand and pointing to the inside of the card.
The background of the card is the bizarre glowing bubbles in the infinite black starry sky.
Shade controlled his trembling hands, took a deep breath, and looked above the card.
The upper right corner is marked with the number 10, and the upper left corner is the very familiar small symbol of "moon". Between the two, that is, in the center of the front of the card, there is a black vertical line drawn in a white circle.
Is the symbol of the "Original" series.
Then he moved his eyes to the bottom of the card, where there were a few lines of small words:
[After drawing this card and before the suspension stage, you can choose whether to activate only one effect: throw a coin, if it is heads, the opponent will discard the first card and the last card at this time, and draw a new card; if it is tails
, exchange your first card with any non-"Moon" suit card displayed by your opponent.】
"The effect of space is forced exchange."
Turning the glass plate over to the other side, it turned out to be the familiar pattern on the back of the Rhodes card. Then with a slight exertion of the fingers, the glass from an unknown age completely shattered.
The glass shards fell into the water and were washed into the Duyin River by the current. Shade held the cards in his hand and waited for a while, then "she" laughed softly in his ear:
【Authentic.】
The stranger's back was facing the exit of the pipeline, so the thin sunlight that barely penetrated the dark clouds could not illuminate the smile on his face at this moment.
Ever since I passed this card in the Lost Forest in the Fifth Era, and now on the eve of the decisive battle at Green Lake, [Impermanence and Space] has still come into Shade's hands in a completely unexpected way.
He raised his hand and placed the cards in front of his right eye. He looked forward again, but saw no abnormality. Shade was not disappointed, but wiped his hands and carefully took out his deck.
Then replaced Moon 10 [Origin·Space].
He turned around and looked at the exit of the pipeline a dozen steps away, looking at the city across the river, feeling that his exploration of the Green Lake area was finally complete.
Shade believed that the smile on his face could not be concealed, because when he returned home after throwing away his glass slipper and emerged from the hotel underground, the girls he met could see that he was very happy at this time.
"Xia De, you're back? Huh? Why are you so happy?"
When they met Miss Aurora and Miss Carina who were talking on the first floor of the hotel, they asked the brisk Shade what good things had happened to him. When Shade showed the [Creation Space] and told
When she saw the boy and the Mimic, the red-haired Duchess raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and then thought of the divination last night:
"Is she really such an accurate divination?"
The rain is still so heavy, and when people are preparing for a big event, they will find that the speed of time passing is the same as the speed of the falling raindrops, which can only be felt but not touched.
The time soon came to five o'clock in the afternoon, because the invitation only said tonight and did not specify the specific time, so everyone had already agreed that after five o'clock, Laplace Klein Howard would be here anytime.
It is possible to "force invitation" times.
The clock in the corner of the first floor of the hotel rang five times. In the Green Lake Hotel, where only Agelina was left as an ordinary person, everyone took action. Although Mr. Soren Green was not a magician, he was definitely not ordinary.
.
The sound of hurried footsteps went up and down the stairs, and pleasant voices commanded or told information. Auras exploded on the walls everywhere, and the complex ritual matrix carried elements of miracles, blasphemy, enlightenment and whispers, perfect.
Connect and blend together to work.
Even the best ritual master cannot tell how many rituals were carried out in the Green Lake Hotel in the few minutes after five o'clock, and how many thaumaturgy, spells and witches' secret arts were affected.
The final battle of Green Lake is finally about to begin.
