Only then did the nun ask, so Shade, who was a little nervous just now, looked back at the soul on the boat that was gradually turning from completely transparent to color, and then quickly explained that he was chasing clues today and met in the deserted village.
Things about sage-level relics and demons:
"That ghost of resentment now has the power of both a demon and a sage-level relic [Remaining Resentment], and it seems that the demon of fire, Dezast, has also put the first fire he devoured into this clone."
Shade concluded:
"In short, this is a difficult nun opponent to deal with. We need to wait until we have confirmed all the clones of the demon before we can take action.
My witcher friends believe that it has divided itself into four parts at most, and I have already confirmed two parts. So, now is not a good time to take action."
He fully believed that if he hadn't said these words, Sister Devlin would have returned to the real world to deal with that thing. Although Shade was at a disadvantage when fighting the resentful ghost, Sister Devlin was a twelve-ring
The Death Chosen One, and her fire resistance is much higher than that of Shade, which can perfectly restrain all the opponent's power.
The nun with the mithril eyepatch nodded slightly, and then Shade told her about the recent events related to the chosen ones, especially the "War of Time".
But the nun didn't react at all. She just nodded to show that she understood. This was her usual behavior.
Finally, Shade asked the reason why the nun appeared here. Sister Devlin did not hide her purpose:
"Understand death. I can't help with matters in Vesta Grove. The Paradox Bug is not affected by death. I need to improve my power."
She didn't speak at all when she spoke, and her voice had an echo effect.
The witch on the boat showed an expression of awe, and Shade asked with concern:
"So you've been here since we last parted in the woodland? Is it okay for you to be here?"
Although she is the chosen one of death, she is also a living person.
"It's okay around the fire."
The nun who bowed her head slightly said:
"Since there is no immediate need to deal with that demon, I will continue to stay here. Please feel free to call me when needed."
"No problem, Sister, but you'd better not stay here all the time. This is just a suggestion, not an order. Then I'll deal with this matter first, hoping there will be clues."
After saying that, Shade turned to look at Flora. The latter was a little confused and didn't know what Shade meant. Seeing that Shade pointed at the soul on the ship, she realized that Shade wanted her to ask about the soul.
In fact, since Sister Devlin is here, it might be faster to let Sister Devlin do this. But since Shade entrusted Flora with the task from the beginning, he naturally would not change people midway.
Of course the witch herself understood this truth, and she also knew that the nun standing on the shore also understood it. So she felt a little happy in her heart, and after making sure that the silent nun had no intention of suddenly taking action,
Casting a spell on the old woman who was gradually filled with milky white light:
"Thumbology - Guiding Death."
Shade also had this thaumaturgy, and after Flora cast the spell, the soul regained some consciousness, and then tremblingly he walked off the boat on his own initiative.
She disembarked from the end of the boat close to the water. When she stood on the water like the departing souls in the distance, a long sigh of relief came:
"Finally, it's over."
The black flame burning in the soul disappeared silently, and the whispering elements gradually melted into the light of the dark moon.
The soul of the old woman who was lost in the disaster a hundred years ago regained her consciousness, and a tired look appeared on her originally expressionless face. After a moment of daze, she looked at the three people on and off the boat:
"Thank you. Young people, which one of you has the [Demon Hunting Seal] in your hand?"
This question really surprised the three of them, or at least Shade and Flora. The soul of this country old man showed that she was definitely an ordinary person during her lifetime, but thinking that she was the only soul that really existed and asked Shade for help
, Shade quickly found the black iron ring:
"I do, do you need this?"
He handed the ring to the old man standing on the water at the bow of the boat. This was also part of the test, but fortunately the other party did not react abnormally after touching the ring.
She held the ring in her hand and handed it back to Shade after a moment, then sighed again:
"I've seen a ring like this before."
This meant telling a story, so Xia De cooperated and asked:
"when?"
"In the autumn of 1689 in the Universal Calendar, it was the first rest day after the Moon Dance Festival that year. The young people working in the woods all returned to the village, preparing to go to the town to prepare supplies for the winter.
That night, a strange traveler came in a hurry from the forest and wanted to stay with us for a night. In the end, it was me who made the decision and lent him the stable where the collective horses are raised in the village. He claimed to be a hunter from afar and was visiting us.
Looking for and chasing a terrible prey, he wore such a ring on his hand. He did not stay too long, and after helping to clean up the stables early the next morning and thanking us, he left the village and went to Ximu Town.
"
It sounds like someone came here for the devil a century and a half ago.
"Three days after the hunter left, at night, the young people returning from the town brought back the terrible thing, and a fire broke out in the village.
The flames were going to devour everything in the village, the houses, the houses, the livestock, the souls. The hunter arrived at the last moment. He was very professional, he tried to defeat the evil spirit, the fire monster, the damned beast."
The old woman's soul said this expressionlessly, while Flora finished the second half of the sentence for her:
"The hunter failed, right? He failed to defeat the demon? I didn't know that even in the sixth era, there were still people chasing demons. I originally thought that everyone would only think about demons when they encountered them.
Find a way to fight against it.”
"No, I guess he didn't completely fail."
Shade also said:
"Did he summon that relic [Leaving Resentment]?"
The old woman who told the story in a hoarse voice nodded, and Shade guessed that she should be the village chief's wife or something like that:
"He failed to defeat the evil ghost, but he protected me in the end. I don't understand the power of powerful people like you. I only remember that he said that he would use his soul as a sacrifice to summon a 'relic' to seal the evil spirit.
thing.
He told me that he kept my soul from being lost in those flames. But I have to do him a favor. After a long time, someone will definitely break into the fire that burned the village again, and there will definitely be someone who wants to deal with it.
That devil. If someone is willing to rescue me by then, and that person also has the [Demon Hunting Seal], let me give this to him."
"What?"
The old woman reached behind her and took out a page of parchment with burnt edges - Shade didn't know where she took it from. She handed the page to Shade and then faced it.
The three bowed slightly, then turned around and stepped on the dark water, bathing in the light of the dark moon and walking towards the depths of the water.
Gradually, her soul stood together with those souls that had also left, and they could no longer be distinguished.
Flora did not call her, but looked at her back on the boat;
"Stories about death are always so resonant with people's souls. Just now I was wondering why the devil would use this relic to limit his power. It turns out that someone sealed it. Although it was not completely successful, it was just like the three
Just like the 'ranging hunters' a hundred years ago, their achievements are enough to be sung to the next era."
"But we don't even know his name."
Shade said, looking at the parchment in his hand. The Chosen One and the Witch were standing beside him in death. He was not worried about leaking information, so he read the content directly:
[Latercomer, I was passing through the Vista Woodland and accidentally noticed the traces of the fire demon-Dizzaste that was supposed to be sealed. It has been found out that it broke away from the seal by unknown means and was interacting with me.
During the chase, he discovered my identity.
I will use my last resort to try to defeat it. If you see this roll of parchment, then at least the worst has not happened yet. I will tell you the legend and ability of Dizast, the demon of fire, and inform you
Way to defeat it, hope those who come after can succeed.
Note: The devil’s collaborators in Ximu Town are related to local herbal medicine vendors.】
Behind this passage was printed the seal pattern of [Demon Hunting Seal]. When Shade's fingers touched the pattern, a complete message automatically appeared in his mind.
The complete message contained detailed information about "Dezast, the Demon of Fire" and past legends. Some of the details were even more detailed than what the doctor told.
And the following part of the information is——
[Outlander, the inheritance of the "Demon Hunter" is detected]
[If you hold the "Demon Hunting Seal", you are qualified; you have mastered at least one hunter's technique, "Seeing Demons", and you are qualified; you have been cursed by at least one ancient evil spirit, you are qualified; you have been recognized by other hunters, and the Night Watch recognizes you.
,qualified.】
Shade's life ring then appeared silently in front of the dark moon, and the cold and holy moonlight illuminated every spiritual rune on the brass ring.
Sister Devlin and Flora both raised their heads to look. The huge life ring seemed to echo the half-calm moon at the end of the water. This scene was silent but full of divinity and power, and Shade
What I pay attention to is not the life ring, but the prompt sound given by "her":
[Outlander, you have obtained the thaumaturgy "Remaining Suggestions". When you encounter evil spirits and demons that have fought with witchers, you can get some tips from past hunters. Correspond to the "Echo" spirit rune, cast thaumaturgy.
You need to wear the "Demon Hunting Seal".]
Then "she" rarely said again:
[This is one of the few ways to convey experience and wisdom in an era that frightened and feared intelligent beings.]
