Chapter 3348 The Last Badge
The second badge was located a little further away, almost in the northwest corner of the castle. The door of the room was hidden, not because of some magical technique, but because the pattern of the door and the ice surface of the wall was connected. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find that the wall could be pushed open.
After the door was opened, the coldness in the room made the three of them shiver:
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
The room looked like a bathing pool, with two-thirds of the area filled with ice water. The liquid in the bathing pool was clear and transparent, and the depth was estimated to be about four or five meters:
"Where can a bathhouse be so deep? And is the floor really five meters thick?"
The second badge was lying at the bottom of the middle of the bath. To liven up the atmosphere, Shade told a joke:
"Shouldn't we drink all the water here this time?"
Miss Rhinehart tried to bend over and put her fingers into the water. Although her fingers successfully entered the water, they quickly froze.
She quickly grabbed Xia De's hand to warm herself:
"I feel like part of my soul is freezing. This isn't as cold as what we drank just now, but if I were to be completely submerged in water, it would definitely be more serious than the previous problem."
Then the chain of sin stretched out from Shade's sleeve and entered the water. As a result, the chain was frosted after entering the water, thus freezing the spirit used to control the chain, and the chain could not touch the bottom of the pool.
Then the [Moonlight Greatsword] turned into a silver whip, and even ordinary ropes and chains encountered similar problems. It seemed that only human bodies were allowed to enter the water here.
The means of controlling the water flow are also not available here, and spatial movement cannot select the space in the water. Time is not very sufficient, and someone must go into the water.
"I'll go."
The platinum-haired girl had already made up her mind. Although she was very reluctant to part again after just reuniting, there was nothing she could do about it. Someone had to sacrifice:
"Ms. Sabel is too weak. You need to save some strength to deal with the devil. And once you get into the water, I don't have the ability to keep Miss Sabel from freezing.
I'm a pretty good swimmer, and I should be able to reach the badge before I lose consciousness completely."
Her eyes sparkled:
"Now it's what we call a necessary sacrifice. You just leave my ice sculpture in the water for a while, and we'll reunite after this is over. Don't worry about me. After your mind is frozen, you have no perception of the outside world. This is nothing to me."
Miss Sabel was somewhat moved by Claire Rhinehart's statement at this time. Although she was not loyal, her character in other aspects was still noble.
So the witch turned around and was about to jump into the pool after she finished speaking, but after she jumped into the air, Xia De reached out and grabbed her back.
He frowned and said:
"Wait, I won't give up Miss Sabel, but will I give up on you? Don't be so impulsive, Claire, I didn't say there is no other way. This time is different from before. Since the body can enter the water, there are many ways."
This was the second time Shad had called out her name, and this time it was clearly different from the first time at the murder scene.
The joy in her heart even made her hair shine slightly, but Claire was puzzled:
"Is there any other way? Do you also think Miss Sabel is hiding something?"
The girl with the teardrop mole next to her didn't know whether she should laugh or get angry, but Xia De laughed:
“Although it requires the body to be submerged in water, it does not require the entire body to be submerged in water.”
He closed his eyes, and his body turned into a ball of pure silver light. In the light, Shade became smaller and smaller until he shrank into a small ball and was held in Miss Sabel's arms.
The light faded, and the silver Shade Cat came into the girls' sight. Although this place was still dangerous, and although they still faced difficult problems, the girls still moaned softly:
"It's so cute."
Both hands reached out to the cat, but were slapped away by the cat's claws as it stood up in Miss Sabel's arms. Before Claire could say "I want to be hugged too", the cat said:
"You guys always do this and this is my method."
As he spoke the cat's body continued to grow in Miss Sabel's arms, until the girl could no longer hold the cat and dropped it onto the ice at her feet, still holding onto Shad's paws.
When the magic [Body of Courage] stopped, the hair on the back of the Shade Cat had already touched the ceiling even though it was lying on the floor next to the bathtub. Standing in front of it, the two sorceresses did not even look as big as its open eyes.
"Even though it looks fat, it's still a beautiful cat."
Claire exclaimed quietly, and then noticed that the cat's head was facing the door, and its tail was facing the "bathtub". So Shade Cat flicked its tail, and the silver tail successfully entered the water.
The cat took a deep breath to show its awareness of the cold, and then its tail swam under the bathtub like a snake until it successfully touched the badge.
Theoretically, a cat's tail cannot hold anything. Even a cat like Mia has never used its tail to get food. But Shade Cat is a product of Transfiguration after all. Its tail seemed to have stickiness and stuck to the badge, and then it returned to the shore with the badge.
At this time, the entire cat's tail was almost stiff and unconscious. After throwing the badge into Claire's hand, Shad quickly lifted the transformation and returned to human form.
Curious Claire wanted to see which part of the human the tail corresponded to, and which part of him was still frozen. But Shade was normal, except that he was trembling when he spoke:
"The first time was to drink water, the second time was to enter the water, and I don't know what to do the next time. Oh~ I'm starting to miss the fireplace at home."
The second badge was recovered. Claire, concerned about Shade's situation, handed it directly to Miss Sabel:
"Let's continue with the divination. Where is the last badge? Mr. Xia Huasheng, let me support you, but the Transfiguration just now was very powerful."
The blonde girl was also worried:
"Would you like to take a break first?"
"We still have twenty minutes left, and we still have to walk back to see the maid. Keep going, I can still hold on."
Although they were worried, no one could convince Shade, so they had to continue "divination" for the last badge.
Miss Sabel led the team quickly through the corridor on the third floor, which took longer this time. When they stopped, the three of them returned to the staircase where they started.
Of course, the maid was still waiting here for the group of people. The smoothie strainer placed on the handrail beside her had already drained three quarters of the ice powder, but she was not surprised at all to see that there was an extra witch in the team.
The sorceress who was leading the way patted her forehead with her free left hand:
"Okay, I should have thought of it earlier. It's the most classic puzzle - the third badge is on you?"
The maid laughed:
"Yes, it's here. You guys acted very quickly. I was planning to tell you the clues one by one when you couldn't find any clues and asked me. The last badge is here."
In front of the three people, she "unbuttoned" the top of the maid's dress that covered her body, exposing the curve of her neck and her crystal-clear icy body, and finally pointed to the center of her open chest:
"it's here."
Although her body was made of ice, it was not completely transparent. At this moment, the place where her finger pointed was becoming transparent, making it easier for the three people to see the badge in her body:
"The two badges just now were just imitations I made myself, but this badge was left by the real owner of this palace. It has been locked in my body since the Fifth Era. It has no power, and obtaining it does not mean anything, but to me, it is the most precious thing here."
She looked up at Shade:
"If you want to take it out, you need to open the lock set by the owner. Otherwise, even if you crush me inch by inch, you won't be able to get it. Even I don't know the key to the lock, but I think you know it, guest."
Claire and Miss Sabel both looked at Shad, who frowned slightly.
The first thing that came to his mind was the "Witch's Echo" that he had encountered in the Snow Mountain Hall not long ago, but he also thought that Chloe might not know whether he found the Echo first or came to the castle first.
So he began to recall the last time they met, when Shad traveled through time and space via the ferry at Black Sand Pier and saw Chloe's camp beside the icy lake.
The two of them did a lot of things at that time. Chloe even shared the magic of [Chloe's Ice Echo] with Shade in the form of permanently giving up part of her power.
He tried to recall if they had said anything memorable or memorable at the time, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything. He could only guess whether it was "I haven't forgotten you", Chloe's real name, his own real name, "Long time no see" or something like that.
【I don’t think it’s these. 】
"She" smiled gently and finally gave a reminder:
[What they desire is sometimes very simple - such as a kiss. Everything just now is a hint. A kiss can melt the ice and snow. Don't forget that when you first parted in the Silver Mountains, all you left behind was a kiss.]
Xia De did not doubt "her" speculation, but
He looked at the place where the badge was hidden, and then looked at the two ladies who were also thinking:
"Isn't this bad?"
"Time is running out."
The maid kept grabbing the two sides of the front of her skirt to open it, and looked at the ice sandglass beside her to remind her. Xia De really wanted to ask the two ladies to turn around first, but realized that it was meaningless for them to turn around at such a close distance.
Finally, he looked at the ice sandglass again, thinking that the next time he saw Chloe, he must remind her not to set this kind of "lock" again:
"I think I found a way."
