Chapter 3312 Atonement
Sister Defulin raised her head, and the mithril eye mask was facing the direction of Shade's eyes. Shade could see Sister Defulin's complete face at this moment. So white, so fragile, so beautiful.
Still expressionless and with a cold tone:
"I don't want to realize this until a greater rift has arisen between us, so please accept my apology. From now on, please freely access the power of any flame. The increase of your power is my wish."
Shad pursed his lips and looked at her, and the pale-faced Sister Defulin also kept her head up.
After a long while, Xia De finally thought of what to say:
"I admit that I was concerned about you before, so I was not so proactive in obtaining the power of the past nuns. But I want to emphasize one thing - I don't care what responsibilities the flame has given you. I will not regard you as a tool to increase my power. In my eyes, you are Sister Defulin, the one and only Sister Defulin."
The nun's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just lowered her head.
"I forced you to accept the flame. It was at the top of Mount Xikar, after you fought against the bloodthirsty god."
"But I have accepted it now, and this power is really useful. I should thank you for your decision on the top of Mount Xikar, although it was a bit humble. I mean, I have fallen in love with this warm flame. This flame has helped me a lot along the way, and I can't live without you anymore."
The dim underground sacrificial field fell into silence after Shade's words fell. At this moment, it seemed that even the dropping of a needle would cause a huge noise. Neither of them spoke. Although Sister Defulin had lowered her head again, Shade believed that she knew he was watching her.
The silence was broken by Sister Defuline herself:
"So, even though I have committed such a sin, are you still willing to accept my flame, Shade?"
"I don't admit the first half of that, but I will of course continue to touch the flame."
Xia De smiled. In his opinion, this was a trivial matter. Even if he needed the power of the ancient nuns again, he was confident that he could handle the relationship with Sister Defulin well. Now that the nun took the initiative to talk about this topic, solving this matter this time could also avoid future troubles:
"Even if I don't have any flames now, I will still help you collect the flames of the First Fire. As for the power of the ancient nuns, if I really need it in the future, I will still take the initiative to tell you before I learn it, instead of asking for everything casually.
You may have misunderstood me before. I didn't accept the power of other nuns casually, not because I was worried that you would be angry, but because I wanted to show that I care about you. This is not a big deal, you don't have to be so serious. "
"She" in my ear continued to laugh, but I didn't know what she was laughing at.
Sister Defulin nodded slightly:
“Thank you for your generosity.”
"Please don't thank me anymore."
"But the sin of jealousy that I committed before will not disappear because of today's conversation. Please punish me."
She looked serious.
"Let's not do that, right? I told you it's not a big deal, and I totally understand where you're coming from."
"Then the punishment can be the same as what you did to the witches."
Then, the next second, some crazy images suddenly flooded into Xia De's mind. The stranger was frightened by his own imagination and hurriedly shook his head to dispel the image:
"Ahem, Sister, you can't just say things like that. I'm not against it, no, I'm not accepting it either. My punishment is totally unnecessary, it's really unnecessary."
He was really scared. If other girls said this, or even the witches with whom he didn't have the closest relationship, he would just think it was flirting, but Sister Devlin was obviously serious.
Speak slowly like a prayer:
"If you do not wish to punish the sinner who was bitten by the sin of jealousy, please allow me to atone for my sins through the ancient rituals of the Order."
She was saying that she would punish herself with the ritual of the [Spiritual Order]. Although Shade didn't know what it was specifically, he still remembered that the [Spiritual Order] was an ascetic-type order. Outsiders could fully imagine what their punishment was like:
"No, please don't do this."
He immediately shook his head again. He knew that Sister Defulin was determined, so he took the initiative to say:
"The secret method of sensing the first fire that Sister Belen gave me has been lost in this era. I will now teach you this secret method again."
"Fire-bearing"
This time, regardless of what she wanted to say, Shade grabbed Sister Develyn's hand and pressed it against her chest. This was not what Sister Belen did at the time, but it didn't matter.
Of course, Shad had been held by Sister Defulin before and had done similar actions, such as when Sister Defulin gave him the warm flame forty minutes ago. But the feeling this time was different from the last time, and therefore Sister Defulin had obviously left here to change some clothes when he was away.
Sister Defulin's body trembled noticeably, but the next second flames ignited from the two people's clasped hands.
Inch by inch, the red cracks spread from the palm to Shad's entire right arm, and at the same time, they ignited Sister Defulin's left chest and then extended to her entire body.
Shad tried his best not to let the strange touch disturb his concentration. He closed his eyes and followed Sister Belen's example more than an hour ago, first feeling the jump of the Primordial Fire with his own body - this must be distinguished from the nun's heartbeat felt by his right hand, and then amplifying this perception and passing it to Sister Defulin's hands.
The fire shared by Sister Belen had already explained how this inheritance should be taught to others, so Shad performed it very smoothly. It was only because of his bold action that when the "pulse" of the fire beat in the palms of the two people, Shad felt for some reason as if he had grasped Sister Defulin's heart.
The body of the First Fire was in Sister Defulin's body, so there would be no accidents when Shade shared the secret method. When the flames gradually shrank and only a few sparks remained on the hands of the two people, Shade spoke again:
"Just consider this as punishment, that's enough."
Sister Devlin didn't say anything. She let go of Shad's hand, but before Shad took his hand back, she pressed the back of his hand again, making his right hand directly touch her robe.
Xia De was even willing to swear on Xiaomia that the action of pinching the bread that he accidentally made afterwards was a completely instinctive reaction of his hands without thinking.
Then silence fell again. After a long silence, Shade, with a stern face, withdrew his right hand and said goodbye to Sister Defulin, saying that if there was any news about the devil recently, he would come to her for help. Sister Defulin bowed her head slightly to bid him farewell, but before Shade was about to leave the dim underground sacrificial field, he stopped in front of the elevator of the sacrificial field:
“It’s too dark in here.”
He said:
"Put some candles in the cracks between the bricks, on the stone steps, and along the walls, or light some oil lamps. It's not necessary to completely illuminate the place, but it's still too dark with only the flame in the center."
"Ok."
The nun said softly, and Shade took the elevator away with a rumbling sound. As for him standing at the entrance of the sacrificial field and raising his right hand to look at the sun, that was the outsider's own business.
【how do you feel? 】
"The nun's personality is indeed different from other girls."
【You know what I'm asking.】
"She" is gentler than the sun at this moment. Shade did not answer until he threw away the crystal shoes:
"Ajelina is indeed the youngest."
He didn't stay too long at the sacrificial site. Considering that he had to pick up Emilia in the afternoon, Shade didn't set out for the snow mountain this morning. Instead, he sorted out his textbooks for the new semester at home. After all, even if the doctor didn't remind him, Shade knew that the summer exam week would be here soon.
There was still enough time, and he even went to the Dawn Church to find Priest Augustus before lunch. After talking to the old priest about the [King of the Grave] and the "Tombstone Wasteland" in his underground potion workshop, the priest really knew something.
"That place itself is a big coffin. Those who enter it are dead, and they will lie inside forever and cannot walk out. This description should be very appropriate."
The priest, who was testing the current temperature of the high-temperature calciner with an unlit pipe in his mouth, said that the instrument he used was a set of gas thermometers, which judged the temperature based on the volume change of colored gas caused by the ambient temperature. This set of instruments was much larger than the calcining equipment itself, but the good news was that this test equipment did not require a steam power source.
"The old god [King of the Tomb] did gain the power to control the wasteland in the era after the old god left. If you didn't already know the secrets of this old god, I couldn't tell you these words - the golden bracelet. The golden bracelet that was once worn on the right wrist of the old god [Ancient Death] appeared on the wrist of the King of the Tomb after the end of the mythological era."
The Giant King only said that the "ancient god's artifact" was a certain golden product, but he did not expect that the old priest could directly and accurately identify which one it was.
While talking to Shade, he cast a spell to summon cold mist, quickly cooling the metal that had reached the optimal heating temperature:
"Haven't you already guessed that the source of power for all the old gods is actually the original thirteen old gods? That golden bracelet gave the [King of the Tomb] even greater power, which is part of the power of the old gods. The materialized bracelet is just an appearance, a projection of its power in the material world.
So, if you can break the golden bracelet, it is possible that the old god in the wasteland will leave temporarily. This is my advice to you. But if it is not necessary, you should not conflict with an old god. "
Shade leaned over the table and pointed at himself:
"Me? Shatter the bracelet of the ancient god?"
"Detective, don't be silly. Although the Tombstone Wasteland is a special area different from the material world, it is still a mundane world and not the real place where the great beings of higher dimensions reside. The Tomb God, whether in his original form or incarnation, must have used the bracelet to anchor himself in that country.
I emphasize again: the golden bracelet is only the physical projection of the power of the ancient god in the material world. Shattering the projection will not really affect the power above the higher dimension, but it will affect the control of the ancient god over the wasteland, and thus affect its existence in that world.
