The feeling of hunger continued to torture Shade, and even the smell of perfume on Miss Princes' body could seduce his appetite at the moment.
But this strong desire to eat also covered up other feelings caused by going too deep into the cabin. He had never felt so hungry. If it weren't for the fact that eating anything would only aggravate his hunger, Shade would have been
He ate his own clothes.
"So, why can these crew members, who are obviously not of the same era as us, speak in standard Delarian common language?"
As they continued to move forward, Shade even wanted to inquire about this. Miss Princes was very worried about his situation and answered his questions in a low voice:
"In fact, most of the [relics] that can communicate with us can use contemporary languages. The relics are related to the whisper element. The whisper element is the darkness of civilization. They can also draw power from civilization. Shade, you...
..."
She bit her lower lip, not knowing how she could thank Shade for taking the risk and letting her go with him.
After leaving the door of the room with the black pot, the two continued to walk deeper into the cabin. More and more skeletons appeared under their feet, and the human skeletons on the walls integrated with the fungus carpet became more and more ferocious and terrifying.
Even later, the filth left by the plasma on the wall connected into pieces and formed disgusting strange runes, which together with the ship affected the souls of living people.
Seeing that Shad was in bad condition, Miss Princes walked ahead to clear the way. In order to prevent accidents, she also summoned her life ring, so Shade saw Miss Prince's core spiritual rune.
There are three core runes, [Writer], [Princess] and [Player], which are very similar to one of Shade's friends. The fifth-ring sorceress also quietly explained to Shade her low-fourth-ring sublimation method.
The phrase is "the [sleeping] [princess] obtains [peace] in [reality] and [dream]".
"stop."
After walking about thirty steps away from the cabin where the chef was, Miss Princes stopped. Looking forward, there was a wooden box shining with golden light in the center of the corridor ahead, just like all the lights nearby.
Gathering around the box, tempting people to find out what it is.
If possible, they would definitely not want to touch something that looked like a trap. But the big box was placed in the middle of the corridor, and because of the thick carpet on the walls, the originally narrow cabin corridor was completely blocked.
.
"Look at me."
The blonde girl said, taking out a rolled piece of parchment from the pocket of her skirt. After throwing the parchment into the air, the parchment burned automatically. She took a deep breath, and green light spots flew out of her hair.
A very vague figure carrying a bow and arrow slowly formed beside her.
Miss Princes is also a magician who is proficient in the elements of enlightenment and is good at drawing power from fairy tales and stories. The casting materials for this kind of thaumaturgy are usually stories copied by the casters themselves.
The unusually vague archer bowed slightly to Miss Princes, and then walked towards the shining treasure chest.
The moment I reached out to open the box, the box immediately "bounced". This description is not correct. It should be said that the two slender legs under the box supported the box to stand up.
Slender arms also extend out from both sides of the box, and the lid of the box is opened at the same time, revealing the sharp teeth and thick red tongue. With the two slender legs as the legs, and the treasure box itself as the body and teeth, this type of
The humanoid creature opened its mouth to devour the archer.
Miss Princes in the distance suddenly clenched her fist. The cancellation of the thaumaturgy caused the archers to disperse into green light spots and disappear. At the same time, she took out a new roll of parchment and threw the parchment into the air.
, what appeared after the burning was a solid figure with the same appearance as Miss Princes.
This figure is wearing a blue princess dress and a silver crown on her head.
She probably only used a spiritual rune for the archer's thaumaturgy just now, so the archer's figure was blurred. The second story is based on the sublimation of the lower fourth ring, so the relationship with Miss Louisa who is about to succeed is
"The Little Match Girl" is just as real.
The princess who walked out of the story, holding a golden spindle, approached the Mimic that had already rushed over with a hazy and unreal smile.
"Delay it."
Miss Princes said.
"OK."
The silver arc of light was like a sharp blade, flying past the princess's cheek. Even the monster did not dare to hit it forcefully, and could only squat down and return to the shape of a treasure chest.
With a clang sound, Silver Moon Slash hit the treasure chest, but only left an inconspicuous mark.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the princess holding the spindle approached the treasure chest. When the treasure chest transformed into a monster, she stabbed the spindle directly into the monster's bright red tongue.
Thump~
The princess and the spindle disappeared together, and the monster collapsed on the ground. As the treasure chest opened and closed slightly, it breathed weakly and fell into a deep sleep.
This is even more powerful than Dr. Schneider's hypnosis. The doctor's hypnosis can only be used on ring warlocks and requires direct contact. It will never have such an effect on non-human creatures.
The archer appeared next to Miss Prince again, bending his bow and setting an arrow, but the arrow he shot could not penetrate the monster's head.
Miss Princes looked at Shade, who nodded. She stretched her right hand into the air, and then slowly pulled out the holy silver two-handed sword.
When he came to the treasure box monster, he raised his sword with both hands and stabbed it along the gap in the treasure box. No strange-colored blood flowed out, and the slender limbs and the treasure box itself turned into stone gray, and then scattered like sand sculptures.
Became a pile of dust.
However, as the monster died, a black light actually entered Shade's body along the holy silver sword.
"Um?"
[Those who are greedy will pay the price. When the greed in the heart gathers, they themselves will become part of people's desires.]
[Relic - Mimic, gives you new power.].
[Outlander, you have some insights into ‘greed’. 】
"What do you mean? It's not a magic spell or a spiritual rune?"
[The creature you kill is extremely special and can be regarded as a creature born out of pure greed. If you kill it, you inherit its greed. This is enlightenment and whisper at the same time, but it is not enough to constitute a spiritual rune. ]
"Understood, that means that as long as I have some insights, the probability of obtaining the [Greed] Spirit Rune will be greatly increased."
Shade concluded, and then covered his stomach again. After the battle, his attention returned, and the feeling of hunger surged, making him miss the feeling of being full again.
"Are you okay? I saw a black light just now. Is that a curse?"
Miss Princes also came over. She directed the archers around her to push away the gray particles on the ground to ensure that they would not return to their original shape.
"I'm fine. It's not a curse. The Mimic monster just now is not from this ship. It is a relic. I just felt the power."
Shade suddenly raised his nose and looked at Miss Princes. After the latter blushed a little, he said:
"Let's keep walking. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. Whether it's Coldwater Port or a restaurant in Tobesk, I'm starving."
"When we leave, I'll treat you to a supper."
Probably due to the characteristics of this dilapidated pirate ship, the length of the straight cabin corridor is actually longer than the ship itself.
Before arriving at the stairway leading to the next cabin, Shade and the girl beside him encountered two cabin rooms that could be entered. Inside were a sailor with a fish head and a human body playing cards, and another one standing in the dark with his back to
A little boy crying at the cabin door.
The two chose to believe the chef's words and ignored any of the crew members in the room. When the fungus carpet under their feet was so thick that they couldn't feel the floor after stepping on it, the dark front illuminated by the silver light from their fingertips finally appeared.
Downstairs.
But as the two people gradually approached, they both saw a figure sitting on the third step of the stairs with his back to them. They slowly slowed down and saw, at least judging from the back, it should be a figure wearing short sleeves.
Curly dark-haired man in sailor shirt.
But what it looks like from the front, Shade and Miss Princes can't guess.
Water was dripping all over his body, and the ticking sound could only be heard when he got closer. A cold feeling came from his body. The temperature inside the ship in the strange dark sea was not high, but it was close to the stairs.
Later, the temperature actually dropped to below freezing point.
The most direct manifestation is that the breath of Shade and Miss Princes has been able to form white mist in the air.
The figure with his back to them was sitting in the middle of the stairs, and it was impossible to go around. Looking at the unprepared back, Shade, who was already extremely hungry, really had the urge to slash at him with his sword. Fortunately, he still had
There was reason, and Miss Princes again signaled her to solve the problem:
"Don't underestimate the five-ring warlock. Although I don't have as strong mental resistance as you, I won't lose in a head-on confrontation."
The girl whose hair had turned mostly red asked Shade to wait where she was. She deliberately made her footsteps louder, then continued forward, stopping five steps away from the stairs.
"I......"
The figure sitting on the stairs spoke at this moment, with a slow and hoarse voice, like an elderly gentleman:
"I fell into the sea."
The sound of dripping water became louder and louder, and Shade made the light on his fingertips brighter to help Miss Princes illuminate her eyes.
"Then, the sea swallowed me, my body and soul. Even though the captain took me in, part of my soul and body remained in the sea forever."
The sorceress lowered her head and looked at her feet. The water stains were spreading over, reflecting the moonlight on Shade's fingertips. Only then did the two of them realize that the carpet covering the corridor had not spread to the stairwell, and the floor had been exposed in front. The water stains looked like
It's because the people sitting on the stairs are constantly dripping water that it spreads here. But the people with their backs to them are sitting on the third step, so there is no reason for the water to spread to such a high position.
