Mystery Lock - [Kiss of the Tree], the second Mystery Lock mastered by Xia De, its most important function is to seal and suppress. In the dark realm, with the help of the divine flushing spirit runes and the power of the ring promotion, Xia De
Germany used this mystery to seal away most of the power of Darkness, the human pus.
And on this beach of death, Shade used all the spirit in his body to seal the door of death with all his strength. His seal was of course not as good as the personal guarding of the August priest who was suspected of possessing the power of the original angel, but at least
You can make this door absolutely problem-free in a short period of time.
Of course, the seal of the Kiss of the Tree was ineffective on him, and he did not lock himself here.
Even other thirteen-ring warlocks should not be able to accomplish what he is doing at the moment. After all, coming here means death, and Shade's Mystery Lock itself contains stories and stories about gods with the power of "doors".
the power of.
【So, have you decided how to leave?】
she asked softly in her ear.
"Of course - the key to the door!"
A crimson bonfire burned blazingly on the tidal flat, and the roots of the giant tree almost merged with the death scene on the stone door. Shade, whose face turned pale due to excessive use of strength, pressed on the stone door with one hand and activated the mystery lock inside.
[Key to the Door].
[Kiss of the Tree] is originally the story of the old god in charge of the power of space [Yahua Gate]. Coupled with the spell that also comes from him and the blessing of the divine afterglow power, Shade feels that he can force it
Turn your arms and open the door of death.
This also allowed him to discover another function of the Mystery Lock - [Tree Kiss]. In this Mystery Lock, he can open almost any lock.
When Shade fell out of the white light between the two ancient and cold giant stone doors, he almost didn't have the strength to stand up. The extreme consumption ensured the power of the mystery lock to the greatest extent, and the action of opening the door was
The little physical strength left was consumed.
In the narrow space between life and death, the recovery speed of his spirit and physical strength was reduced, leaving him with almost no ability to fight anymore.
[Push open the door of death and walk into death, break the shackles between life and death, and return to the narrow space of the border.]
[Stranger, you have heard the "whisper" from death again. 】
[You have obtained the thaumaturgy - Door of Death. It opens a one-way passage leading to true death. This passage only allows you and the souls who voluntarily leave to enter. During the opening of the passage, because it is one-way, the other side will not
Affects the normal world.】
"Ha, what am I doing by opening this kind of channel? It would be good if I could actively inhale my enemy, but it only works on the soul, and the other party must leave voluntarily. Could this thaumaturgy want me to die again?"
He held his hands on the ground and gasped:
"It's almost dawn."
Shade didn't know about the abnormal phenomena caused by his use of the Mystery Lock in the Sikal Mountain area. He only knew that he didn't have the strength to cross such a long distance in the narrow space and return to the house inside the Russell Manor.
Not to mention there will be attacks from evil spirits along the way.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
A smile appeared on his pale face. Shade, who was lying on the ground in front of the Door of Death, stretched out his hand and reluctantly took out the key, the door leaf, a branch-shaped toy, and two bottles of blood from the items placed in front of the stone door in advance.
And the blood bottle left by the priest:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
Panting heavily, he inserted the key into the door. After turning it, the small door was filled with thick white mist. Even the black wind blowing from the crack in the door behind him could not shake the mist:
"Sure enough, the time key can be used even here."
He put his finger into the door, the metal hanging fell to the ground, and Shade disappeared.
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of 3014 in the Fifth Age, Eastern Continent, Night Manor.]
[Event: The Vampire God’s Reception.]
【Duration thirty minutes (2/3).】
【You have obtained additional information.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you.]
[The test given to you by the ancient god of time will continue.]
[Participate in the drinking party of "Vampire Duke Loal" with mortals until the end of the drinking party. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy-Silent Moonlight, and a true message-Elf.]
He entered the white mist space in a prone position and left the narrow space. His physical strength immediately recovered rapidly. It was as if Shade had the ability to breathe and heal his wounds. In just a few breaths, he stood up directly:
"The situation is not bad."
Changing his clothes that were stained with mud in front of the stone gate into spare clothes that had been turned into toys, Shade moved his body, wasting no time, and stepped forward. The scenery of the corridors of the night manor slowly unfolded.
Turning his head to look out the window at the almost still and strange night of the courtyard, he felt that his physical strength and spirit were still recovering at a normal or even faster speed. Then, he saw that the three bottles in his hands were still there:
"very good."
He is very satisfied with the status quo.
Walk forward along the corridor, turn the corner, and enter the long and narrow passage. At the end, the double doors open automatically, and Shade walks directly in.
The huge hall that seemed to be built for giant-sized creatures was still the same, but on the table in front of the middle-aged witch, the armored old man and the twin girls, there were many meals on gold and silver plates that looked very sumptuous.
And it looked like everyone ate some.
Although it was quiet here, the atmosphere was better than Shade thought. It seemed that during his absence, the saints and mortals also held other drinking parties. At least Shade saw a smile on the face of the gray-haired old man who was gathering the cards.
With a smile.
"god."
As the door behind him closed automatically, Shade greeted the saint in a red cloak at the end of the long table. The cracks on his skin that had disappeared as he left the Door of Death reappeared, and the saint nodded at him.
head:
"Hurry up and take your seats. After a short break, the reception will begin."
Shade came to the end of the long table facing the saint, and the chair automatically opened for him to take a seat. He then looked at the other people attending the reception. The witch who looked like a middle-aged woman had no expression, and the gray-haired old man smiled at
Shade nodded, but the twin girls were still surprised by the golden light marks that appeared on Shade's body.
"The smell of death is really strong on your body. I hope this will not affect your taste of wine."
The saint in red cloak said softly, but only sighed slightly, and then went directly to the topic:
"So unexpected guest, this time, will you bring me blood that satisfies me in exchange for the right to continue participating in this cocktail party?"
"I think so."
Shade put the three small bottles in his pocket on the table and pointed to the first bottle of blood:
"The blood of the Deep-Eyed Dragon Squid is very difficult to obtain. I got it from the mermaid by trading it."
"It's not bad, at least it's much better than impure dragon blood."
The saint made a simple evaluation. It seemed that this bottle of blood was only barely qualified.
"The blood of the Rhine demon, many people died for this."
Shade pointed to the second bottle of blood.
"Oh? Rhine demon? This is rare. This kind of demon that uses blood relationship as a curse is absolutely dangerous to my believers."
The saint said, and Shade thought for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the "Rhine Demon", which is very lethal to vampire clans.
"Although you only need to bring two types of blood this time, I also brought a third type."
Shade pointed to the last small bottle. The priest left in a hurry, so the blood left behind was very little compared to the other blood that Shade had purchased with "a lot of money".
"Looks like interesting stuff."
He waved his hand, and the three bottles in Shade's hand automatically floated to the other end of the long table.
The cork of the third bottle was automatically opened, and the blood-sucking god twitched his nose slightly, then narrowed his eyes.
Shade endured huge mental pressure and observed the other party's expression. While the vampire god frowned, he tentatively said:
"This blood may be related to the original angel-Gakel."
Shade asked the priest to leave his blood. He originally thought that the story of Priest August was interesting enough, so his blood might be valuable. In addition, blood-sucking gods would not curse the other person just because they sucked the blood of mortals, so
It was only then that he decided to become a priest.
But when he obtained the spiritual runes in the Land of Death, he heard the message of the "First Angel", and Shade had new ideas. The "First Angel" seemed to be traceable to the original gods, and the first gods were the ancient gods. Maybe
He can trace more information about the ancient gods through the "First Angel" incident.
The saint nodded slightly:
"It is indeed the original angel."
Shade opened his eyes slightly to show his excitement:
"So the first angel was."
"The original angel, the angel of death, the angel of death, mortals like to use this name."
God said simply, and then changed the topic directly, without giving Shade a chance to ask questions:
"Very good. Although the smell of death in this blood is too strong, it is also a good wine. Unexpected guests, you can choose to use this as a gift for your next arrival, or you can choose to use this to offset the following.
Wine tasting requested.”
After snapping his fingers, ten identical green wine bottles appeared in front of God, and the plates in front of everyone were cleared, with some delicious-looking snacks added. At the same time, brand-new glass goblets appeared with a sudden ~
In front of them:
"Then we enter the next stage of the reception. Now that I have tasted the fine wines you brought, I can't be stingy with my collection. There are ten pieces of my collection here. I will taste them one by one, and what you have to do is,
Come taste wine with me."
"God, do we also need to taste all the blood brew here?"
Xia De asked, and the saint shook his head slightly:
"Each of you only needs to drink with me three times. But if after I taste all the blood brew here, someone still doesn't drink three times, then he will be unlucky and get impure dragon blood.
The mortal king met his end."
The rules of this cocktail party are simple and easy to understand, and the five people have good understanding skills, so there is no doubt.
"Besides, you."
He suddenly looked at the twin girls wearing black and white gauze skirts on Shade's right. The girls held hands and lowered their heads. Under the huge pressure of the saint's gaze, even their breathing stagnated.
"You two have brought the same blood, so I will treat you as one person. You must taste the same blood brew."
"Yes, God."
The little girls whispered.
"you."
He looked at the armored old man again. The old man had gathered the cards and put them into his pocket.
"The card game just now was very interesting. Maybe we can continue during the next break. So, you can only drink with me twice."
"Thank you for your mercy, God."
The old man also lowered his head and said that his mental endurance is the worst among the people who are currently alive. At this time, just being glanced at by the saint, his face immediately turned purple.
"Very good. Then, the second part of the reception - officially begins!"
The tightly tied curtains by the window turned blood red in an instant. The bat-shaped kerosene lamp on the wall melted and deformed into a shape held by children with sharp teeth and wings. The carpet became
The color was blood red, and a series of slender teeth hung down from the crystal lamp above his head. Even behind the saint, a strange oil painting appeared on the wall that was originally just a tapestry.
There seemed to be something flying in groups in the gaps between the blood-red and uneven paint in the oil painting, but if you looked closely, you could only feel dizziness and headache, and even a taste similar to rust appeared in your mouth for some reason.
The original red carpet seemed to have blood flowing through it, and the dark liquid dyed the carpet with patterns similar to human blood vessels. On the stone tiles of the ancient hall walls, large black blood stains appeared, until the entire room was filled with a smell of blood.
A faint smell of blood.
The weird night view of the manor outside the window remained unchanged, but the originally normal restaurant had changed in a weird direction with the start of the second cocktail party. Not only Shade frowned, but even the witch felt
Arrived uneasy.
