The huge figure did not disappear after one blow, but continued to calmly stare at the smoke and dust on the ground. But soon the black-haired lady took the initiative to cancel the thaumaturgy, retracted the sword with dissatisfaction and flew back to the flying carpet:
"Let it run away and it has turned into a natural phenomenon in this forest."
The power of her attack was far greater than the doctor's words of sublimation, but the doctor's words of sublimation were specifically aimed at this demon, so she could not defeat him with one strike like the psychiatrist thirty years later.
However, the sorceress didn't want to continue chasing that thing. Even she would be hard-pressed to completely eliminate this existence. Moreover, she was now anxious to treat Shade's injuries. After returning to the flying carpet, she continued to chase and waited for them ahead.
The silver moonlight passed away.
The moonlight did not fly beyond the scope of the Vista Woodland, and finally landed in a quiet and unmarked place deep in the woodland.
The gurgling stream reflected the moonlight, which made it appear that the place was not particularly dark. After the black-haired lady jumped off the flying carpet with Shade in her arms, she took a few steps forward and entered the forest. A few minutes later, she saw the moonlight.
Come down.
It swayed in the air a few times, and the scenery that had been hidden for an unknown amount of time returned to the forest.
Amidst the slight vibrations on the ground, a small temple entangled with vines, hidden by trees, and occupied by weeds appeared among the originally dense woods.
It is said to be a temple, but it is actually just four pillars standing at the four corners of a square space paved with floor tiles. There are no walls or roofs here, and in the center of the temple, there stands a statue of the goddess.
Even the well-informed Ms. Helena Carter rarely sees this situation. The true image of the gods cannot be observed by mortals. Therefore, when people build temples, they prefer to use holy emblems to represent their respective
She had not heard of religious sites that used statues of gods, but this was the first time she had actually seen such an ancient statue of a god.
The moonlight filled the forest, and the wind made the forest rustle. There was no tree crown above the temple, so the moonlight caused the shadows of three of the four pillars to fall in the temple, and the rest of the temple was completely illuminated by the quiet moonlight.
illuminate.
If the statue of the goddess stood up, it should be more than five meters tall. At this time, she seemed to be sitting on the stone platform with her body pressed against her legs covered by her skirt. Her body was slightly tilted, her head was lowered, and her hands were like
What are you hugging?
Half of his face is illuminated by the moonlight, while half of his face is in shadow, making the whole face quite three-dimensional. The erosion of time has made the surface of the statue rough, and the face of the god carved by mortals is not beautiful.
But it still looks magical under the moonlight.
"The statue should have been holding something in its arms. Has it been taken away?"
The sorceress of the Thirteenth Ring stood outside the temple and thought that the moonlight that guided them had disappeared, and she suddenly understood something. She helped Shade and stepped into this ancient building that was almost integrated with the forest.
.
There were no other signs at all in this temple. There were no words on the floor tiles, stone pillars or the base of the statue. She just saw the goddess lowering her eyes as if she were sad, and she knew that this must be a person.
Good God. So after softly expressing her apology to the statue, she used a spell to lift Shadeto up and let him fly towards the statue, and finally lay in the empty arms of the statue.
In hindsight, even Helena Carter herself was surprised by her boldness.
After doing all this, she temporarily exited the temple, and then watched the moonlight gathering on the statue getting brighter and brighter, until the statue itself also lit up with the holy brilliance of pure silver.
The scene that happened next was beyond her comprehension.
In the gentle moonlight, this statue that had stood here for countless thousands of years actually started to move.
He looked at Shade in his arms with a sad expression on his face, and then picked him up with two hands. Because the statue was too big, it hugged Shade like a baby.
The radiance of the holy silver was not strong, the moonlight was still as gentle as every night, and Helena Carter once thought that this moment was a dream.
In the moonlight, the color of the stone shell on the surface of the statue was almost invisible, leaving only the pure silver light. The statue gradually moved its face closer to Shade's face.
He pressed the side of his face to the side of the unconscious Shad's face. This maternal scene became more and more sacred. Then, the statue raised its side face, and then God gently kissed Shad's forehead.
This kiss also brought out the moonlight in Shade's body, and the dazzling light forced the black-haired lady to cover her eyes.
"what happened?"
After waiting for a while, all the light subsided, Helena Carter put down her hand, and saw that the forest was still quiet, and the statues covered with moss and cracks maintained the posture when they came. The remaining moonlight in the surrounding space gradually subsided,
Shade, who was lying in the arms of the statue, covered his head and stood up, looking like he still didn't understand what happened:
"Where is this? What happened?"
The black-haired lady hurriedly walked over again and helped Sha De to get off the arms of the statue. Only then did Sha De understand the surrounding environment, but before he could see the full picture of the statue, the surface of the statue appeared.
After a layer of sand and dust, the entire statue and even the pillars and floor tiles of the temple were scattered into fly ash, which was quickly blown away by the night wind and disappeared without leaving any trace.
Although Helena Carter understood that it was probably Shade's moonfire that resonated with this place that was suspected to be the ruins of the Moon God, she still felt that this ancient temple had stood in the barren woodland for countless years, and it seemed that it was
Waiting for tonight, waiting to welcome Shade who needs treatment.
"So what's going on?"
Shade still didn't understand the situation. He only remembered that Yuehuo's treatment seemed to be ineffective, and then he passed out again. When he woke up, his body was normal, but the statue that he didn't have time to see clearly disappeared.
"Don't talk yet, let me see you."
The black-haired lady said, holding Shade's head and looking at his forehead, which was the place where he seemed to be kissed by the statue just now. But there was nothing there, not even the obvious miraculous elements.
"How are you feeling now?"
She then asked again, and Xia De also felt it, and "she" in his ear spoke softly at this moment, as gentle as the midsummer night wind:
[Outlander, you have swallowed the "Curse of the Great Tree", and you have gained new characteristics: self-healing power ↑, poison resistance ↑↑, nature affinity ↑↑↑, physical recovery speed ↑. 】
[You have a certain resistance to this curse.]
[Outlander, you have received a brief moonlight blessing: within three days, your self-recovery ability has been greatly enhanced. 】
[Outlander, your spell - "Moon Fire" has been enhanced. In addition to the existing effects of healing, purifying toxins, and expelling negative status, it has the new ability to purify powerful curses. But please note that Moon Fire still cannot
Banish all curses.】
After a slight pause, "she" added;
[Foreigners, you can absorb the aura of the ancient moon god and enhance the power of "moon fire" by finding other moon god powers scattered in the material world. Since this spell is a blessing to the gods, the spell -
"Moonfire" can only be improved in this way.】
"Moon God."
"What did you say?"
The black-haired lady on the side tilted her head and said, and Shade explained that he had been cured by the blessing of the statue, and explained the tips he had received.
As for the fact that he swallowed the "curse of the great tree", outsiders are not surprised at all. His body seems to have the talent of "devouring the power that can enhance itself". Starting from the initial flesh and blood of "desire", he swallowed
There are already a lot of weird entities and non-entities.
Among the four improvements obtained this time, toxin resistance plays the smallest role. After all, the First Fire itself provides extremely strong toxin resistance. The self-healing power and physical recovery speed of Shade are never too little. As for "natural affinity"
”, this seems to be the most important part of this improvement.
When moving in this woodland, many things will become very convenient due to the natural affinity.
And hearing what he said, the sorceress of the Thirteenth Ring looked at the statue of the god that had disappeared behind him, with an expression of special awe:
"I said that I must have seen it right, that is Moonfire. I just didn't expect that in our era there are still mortals who can be blessed by the moon god. Daniste has really found an amazing student. But
As long as you're okay, let's go back first and tell me what happened to you later. This ancient curse is really scary."
The temple had disappeared without a trace, and there was no need to stay here, but she still forced Shade to thank her in the clearing, and then got on the flying carpet with him again.
When she took off, she saw the sword on the flying carpet, and then she remembered what happened when she came up:
"It seemed that your moonfire resonated with the power here just now, which led us here. But on the way here, I used your ring and your sword, and we disturbed a monster in the forest. It seemed to be the legendary creature
Although I was able to defeat the ancient evil spirit, it escaped."
Thinking of George Kant's mention in front of the old divine door that it had been seriously injured by another hunter in 1821, Shade only felt that everything had formed a closed loop. As for the escaped devil, don't worry about its ending.
On the late autumn night of 1854, Shade had already witnessed it.
So what Shade needs to consider now is not the devil, the strange temple and the statue, or even the evil "Great Tree" that banished him to the narrow space of time with one move.
