After recovering a little, Xia De restored his set of golden armor. When the four sides of the box fell, the lion-shaped armor standing in the box was still glowing. A faint golden miracle element was attached to it.
Make the golden lion shape look more real and powerful.
"What's going on here?"
Grandma Siam asked Shade. Shade shook his head and began to tell her and Miss Sandel about their outing experience.
It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and the forty minutes seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, so Shade narrated it quickly and briefly. After he really left, Miss Knight and Miss Meister would probably tell it again.
"So, are the compass fragments in there?"
After Shade finished speaking, Miss Sandel pointed to the coffin expectantly, and opened it after receiving the instructions from the old elf. The mermaid girl leaned half of her body into it, just when Shade thought she was going to fall in.
, she was very happy to hold the piece of metal and straightened up again:
"Look, I found it, it's this!"
She handed the new compass fragments to Grandma Siam Nord, and Shade also handed back the piece she had taken away. The two pieces of metal resonated after getting close, and then were firmly attracted to each other like magnets.
In this way, the circular pie-shaped black metal compass now has two-thirds of its volume. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as they find the last fragment, they will know the location of the "Heart of the Oasis".
"Mother-in-law, hurry up~"
The blue-haired girl urged, and Granny Siam smiled, and then activated the resonance power of the compass again. After a moment, a stable light point appeared on the surface of the compass again.
Miss Knight, who had taken off her armor, also walked over. Combining the contents recorded in Miss Sandel's notebook that had begun to become blurry, they quickly determined the location of the next compass fragment.
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
The old elf said to Shade:
"The information there is not clear, or it is not a ruin at all. Although it does not directly show extraordinary power like the tomb you just returned from, there is definitely danger there."
"What exactly was that area like? Who explored it at that time?"
Shade asked, and Miss Sandel raised her hand in embarrassment:
"It's me. I said before that after I came to this desert, I was trapped in a cave for a long time. After realizing that my soul would decay sooner or later, I left the cave at dusk and fell into a coma in the cold.
I was rescued by my mother-in-law at night. I came across that place while running in the desert night, at that time."
She tried to re-search the blurred and confused memories:
"I was very cold at the time. I saw a dark thing in the distance. I thought it was a building, so I wanted to go there to escape the wind and sand. When I got closer, I saw that it was"
She shuddered violently again:
"I saw a huge rotting head lying in the sea of sand in the dark night. The mouth of the head was transformed into a door. And connected to the back of the huge human head was the corpse of a sandworm."
Listening to her description, Miss Knight's face turned very bad, and Shade also frowned slightly:
"Is it a product of transformation, or is there really a monster with a human head and an insect body?"
After asking, he suddenly realized that the "Desert Worm" transformed by Professor Drake he met in [The Past and the Sixth Era] seemed to have such an image.
"The door transformed from the mouth should be artificial."
The blue-haired girl said, trembling slightly:
"I was running wildly at night when I suddenly saw the rotting head. I was frightened. I even suspected that I was crazy. I didn't dare to get close but turned around and ran in another direction. Then I passed out while running. When I woke up again, my mother-in-law had already brought me here, and it was already dawn."
"Is that area very far away?"
Shade asked, and Grandma Siam Nod nodded:
"A little further than this time."
In other words, Shade didn't have time to see it with his own eyes this time.
"Were the pieces of the compass in that insect's belly? Miss Sandel, what else did you see at that time?"
Shade asked again, and the blue-haired girl directly thrust the notebook into Shade's hand:
"After I woke up, my mother-in-law asked me to record everything I could think of. My mother-in-law knew that this desert would make memory unreliable. But later I looked at what I had written, and there were some things that I couldn't even remember. Already."
Shade lowered his head and flipped through the pages, and saw a hand-drawn sketch among the relevant records. The mermaid girl seemed to want to depict the door, but her drawing was quite abstract.
"What is this symbol?"
Shade pointed to the symbol on the door again, and Miss Sandel came over to take a look:
"This is also something I can't remember clearly right now. It's probably the symbol on the door."
Shade then wrote down the symbol and planned to go back and investigate. After all, this was the only one he could investigate now.
"Let's go together next time."
The old elf said to everyone again:
"Let's search for the last compass fragments together, and then use the complete compass to find the 'Heart of the Oasis' together. Next time I won't leave a way out for everyone, either find it together or die together. If we don't have such determination, we It can't be found."
"Okay mother-in-law."
"I have no opinion."
"Yes, Granny Siam."
The three girls replied, and Xia De naturally had no objection. He was going to go anyway.
"I don't have much time left, so before I come back next time, please be prepared. Miss Sandel, try to remember what else you saw at that time. And this coffin and the contents inside. It belongs to everyone and can be used to prepare."
What was in the coffin were the belongings of ancient heroes, as well as the precious materials used by the ancestors to accompany them when they built this mausoleum and church.
The ordinary items in it decayed after Shade opened the coffin, and the rest were all genuine good things. There were only four relics, and Shade was very sure that he saw a "Philosopher's Stone". But these things
He can't take it with him, so it's okay if he can use it.
"and this."
He picked up the stone sword placed on the bench next to him again. Of course, before raising the sword, he had to take off the cat squatting on it:
"This is the long sword of the ancient hero. Now it is just an ordinary stone. I want to use it as my souvenir, but I don't know if it will be useful in the future. So I will keep it this time. If we can do it next time
If you find the 'Heart of the Oasis' successfully, I will take it away."
After speaking, he smiled and said:
"I'm sure I can find it."
Shade also put the stone sword into the coffin, and then he saw that one of the relics in the coffin was the [Demon Hunting Seal].
"Sure enough, wherever there is a demon, there is this and so on. The demon actually lay with this seal for so long."
The last thing handed over to Granny Siam Nord was the white mist glass bead that sealed the devil. Shade took all the credit, claiming that he had sealed it, and hoped that Granny Siam Nord could hand it over to her.
Handed to St. Byrons.
So the old elf nervously took the glass bead, opened the sachet hanging around his neck and put it inside.
Of course, if this glass bead could be taken away, it would actually be the best choice to hand it to Dr. Schneider. Unfortunately, it cannot be taken away, and even in the era when foreigners lived in the Sixth Age, this glass bead was still in the academy, Shade
I can't think of a way to get it back.
"Maybe when I get my thirteenth ring, I can ask for it back."
In short, this adventure in the Lijinsha Sea finally came to an end after experiencing a series of accidents.
Although he lost the last chance to obtain "a gift" because he asked for help from the gods, Shade was satisfied that he did not let the demon go and let it have the opportunity to harm other people a thousand years later.
Of course, he was even more satisfied that Miss Knight did not really sacrifice herself to obtain the compass fragments.
The female knight was still resting at this time, and this trip brought a greater burden to her than others. When she noticed that Shade was looking at her, Miss Knight nodded slightly.
Compared to the first time they met, her expression became much softer. It was obvious that the illusion in the mausoleum also made her think about something.
As an ordinary person, she is very lucky to be able to reach this point. The only belief that supports her to continue to live in this terrible environment is probably that persistence. That persistence is like steel, like a flame, and Shade hopes that this persistence
Don't burn her to pieces at the end.
Of course, in the remaining few minutes, Shade still had one last thing to deal with, which was his own set of glowing armor.
"I don't know what this armor is about."
Miss Meister and Miss Knight were both sitting and resting, while Miss Sandel was curiously counting the burial objects in the coffin. Shade stood up with little Mia and came to the armor with Granny Siam Nord.
The golden lion-shaped armor looks majestic even in a slightly dark room. The bright golden color makes it more attractive than the original dark golden appearance. This reminds outsiders of the "a woman and a woman" she saw in her hometown.
The armor in her story "88 Bodyguards", but obviously her own armor is not that powerful.
"This was given to me by a friend of mine. I have always suspected that my friend is not an ordinary person."
Shade explained to the old elf, and after speaking, he glanced at little Mia.
Mother-in-law Siam Nord did not talk about the topic of "friends". The elf with rich life experience gave guidance:
"You can feel the light of this desert yourself. It does have the potential to make things that don't otherwise shine shine. The sand outside is glowing on its own. Didn't you also notice that?"
"Mother-in-law, what do you mean is that the armor just happened to shine when exposed to the sun?"
This phenomenon can also be found in Yuewan today. The white light put into the "empty bottle fruit" has that effect.
