Chapter 3301 Hound's Coffin
Before Shade left last time, he asked the beagle to help deliver the letter, so the ladies also roughly knew the situation of the [Corpse Tree]. After the reunion, after Shade briefly described the sealing plan he brought from the future, the gorgeous witch queen affirmed the idea of the "witch" in the future, and then asked Shade:
"This is a land of corpses and the dead. If left alone, the tree will soon revive. What are you going to do?"
"I have a special magic for sealing. I have just accumulated enough spirits. I don't need to seal it for a long time, just a temporary seal will be fine."
He said to the hound, who stood at his feet with his child:
"There are some things I can't say more about because of the time involved, but I assure you that in the future, it will definitely be destroyed in my hands."
The hound then spoke in human language:
"That's enough for now. Just seal it away for now. Even my master doesn't have the ability to contain it permanently."
"Do you need my help?"
Violet-san, who had been holding Shade's hand since a while ago, asked again. Shade shook his head:
"It's okay. I'll do it this time. We'll leave immediately after sealing this place. I have a feeling that something will come later."
"Wait, there are more things here. The burial objects you left behind last time, and a lot of things I collected before are all here."
The hound pointed at the tree trunk again, and Theresa walked over with the shovel. Shad wanted to help, but was stopped by Miss Violet:
"Just let her do this kind of thing. After all these years, you still like to rush to the front. You were like this when we were in the tower of God."
"It feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time. I should do more for you."
"You. So that's why you're so likable."
So Theresa had to dig out the rusty metal coffin herself. After confirming that it was the hound’s “property”, she retreated with Miss Violet and Sister Belen, who had remained silent.
Shade took out the "Moonlight Greatsword" again, and then stabbed it into the ground under the tree canopy:
"Mystery Lock: Kiss of the Tree."
The suppression of the strange world prevented the starry sky from unfolding above their heads, but everyone present felt that the surroundings had changed. The bonfire was burning with a crackling sound, and the Moonlight Greatsword did not disappear after it was released from his hand. Instead, flames gushed out from the point where the tip of the sword pierced the ground.
A red-gold bonfire appeared around the elegant silver sword, and the burning flames made people feel extremely at ease. The flames licked the runes on the sword, and the familiar scene made Sister Belen want to take a step closer to confirm, but she was stopped by an outstretched arm.
Violet Marshall glanced at her sideways, and the nun, with her hands clasped together in front of her, nodded slightly and stepped back.
When Shad mastered this maze, he did not know Sister Defulin yet, but there was no doubt that the "Kiss of the Tree" in its current state had been deeply influenced by the nun and the First Fire.
The silver moon cannot be seen at this moment, but the rustling sound of the treetops still brings the sound of nature's breathing to this dead land.
Xia De closed his eyes and put his hand back on the Silver Moon Great Sword that had pierced the bonfire. Then dozens of streams of fire flowed out of the bonfire, forming a swirling dragon in the mist of death. The streams of fire flowed towards the tree in front of him, and then bound it tightly like a chain. As the streams of fire gradually died out, dozens of black scorch marks appeared on the surface of the trunk of the Corpse Tree.
Although the [Corpse Tree] in front of them was still the same tree, in the eyes of the three high-level witches, the fluctuations of the whispering elements of the relic were almost suppressed to zero.
All its elements and spirit were sealed, and the relic is still the relic, but until the seal is broken, it is just a tree.
"Not a bad seal. Is this the power that comes from enlightenment and virtue?"
Miss Violet, who had seen all this, asked. Shade turned his eyes away from the petrified moonlight sword and nodded at her.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. We can't stay here for long."
Then he said to the souls of the two hounds beside the witches:
"Come with us, we will take you back to the world of the living, and then you can truly leave."
The two hounds followed, and Shade picked up the pure gold scepter again, turned the hound's dried corpse into a toy and put it in his pocket away from Mia. He found a golden brooch at the place where the witches had just repelled the "Mourner Knight", and then the four of them left quickly, led by Sister Belen holding the lantern. The tomb robber Miss Liad was not here, so she was the one left to guard the hut this time.
Sister Belen did not have any communication with Shade during this process, but when Shade looked at her before setting off again, the nun nodded gently to him. At that time, she saw a dazzling flame from Shade, and she knew that it was the flame left in the body of the fire bearer in front of her by a descendant who knew not how many years later.
As for what the other party meant, Sister Beren, as a nun who also holds fire, certainly understood.
What greatly surprised Shade was that, although it took the witches more than ten minutes to find him, the group had only just set out - about three minutes before they saw the stone cottage standing in the open space.
"The space has changed."
Miss Violet said softly. It was inconvenient for Theresa to knock on the door while holding the small metal coffin, so Sister Belen knocked on the door with her fingers. Two seconds later, Miss Liad's nervous face appeared from the crack of the door:
"Mr. Hamilton, you're back!"
After the four people and two hounds entered the room illuminated by the fire, the room, which had seemed empty, became a little crowded. Miss Liad diligently brought chairs for everyone, and Theresa put the small metal coffin on the table with great effort. During this process, Shad was actually worried that the old table would collapse.
The coffin had a sliding door. When it was opened, large patches of golden light reflected from the fireplace illuminated everyone's faces. Inside were all gold items.
"These are all your rewards."
The hound, who was standing at the door with his daughter, said to Shade, but Shade was more concerned about something else:
“This coffin.”
He hesitated, and the hound gave an affirmative answer:
"Yes, the master was unable to bury me, so he buried the coffin under the tree. After I became a part of the tree, I have been carrying the coffin with my roots. If we can return to the world of the living, please bury my body in this coffin."
Miss Theresa and Miss Liad then took out all the items piled in the small coffin and put them on the table for inventory. There were not only burial objects in it, but this strange world also produced other wonderful things.
The two girls seemed very excited, while Miss Violet and Sister Belen had already sat down at the table.
After Xia De took out the boxes of supplies he had prepared, he sat down. The cat was finally allowed to jump onto the table, but after discovering that the table was not very clean, it quickly jumped back onto Xia De's shoulder.
Theresa also knew Little Mia and greeted the cat with a smile. Little Mia always seemed to have magical powers, and everyone's mood would become good when it appeared.
Xia De finally had time to say hello:
“It’s a little late, but it’s been a long time, Miss Violet.”
The blonde witch smiled:
“Just now I was thinking that if you called me ‘Violet’, I would be very angry. Yes, it’s been a long time since we last met, but I also didn’t expect you to show up so soon. It seems that I should encourage Theresa to go out more often in the future.”
"I will, teacher!"
Theresa immediately said, and Shade laughed:
“There’s no need to be so deliberate. I don’t want Theresa to meet me in a dangerous place again. So, Miss Violet, how did you get here? You said it was Miss Theresa who called you just now?”
"She called me on her own initiative. She didn't do it when you were here because she was afraid you wouldn't agree. Although we haven't spent a lot of time together, I'm sure that if Theresa said it to your face, you would definitely say 'Don't involve Miss Violet in matters related to the Old Gods.'"
Xia De smiled embarrassedly. He would indeed say that, but since the witch had already arrived, he would not say anything more:
"I know that Teresa and you care about me. I won't say thank you, because that would be hypocritical. Is there anything I can do for you?"
The blonde witch queen blinked:
"We can talk about this after this is over."
Then Shade looked at Sister Belen, who kept her head slightly down even when she was sitting. Miss Violet waved her hand and asked the teapot on the fireplace to fly over to pour tea for everyone. Shade then said to the nun:
"Sister, I'm back. After returning to my time this time, I communicated with my sister. She said that I can accept the power of other sisters when I need it. Sister Belen, there are already a lot of relics now, and I'm afraid we will have to carry out the final exploration soon.
So please share your fire with me, yes - I need your strength."
She nodded slightly, then finally raised her head and "looked" at Xia De:
"So what kind of power do you need, hero of the Fire Bearer?"
Xia De came from an era when the First Fire was more complete. He could learn about fire attack methods from Sister Defulin. What he needed now were those lost secrets or secrets that belonged to a certain generation of nuns, such as the "Eternal Fire Seal" of the past:
"Sister Belen, I want to learn the secret method you mentioned last time that can sense the location of the First Fire. Whether in this era or in my time, I need such power."
