Chapter 3392: The Holy Book of Eternal Sleep
Teresa's problem was the most difficult. If it was not dealt with immediately, other parts of her soul might also be affected. After Shade tried to use the holy water he brought to clean her arm, he saw that the black runes still did not disappear, so he had to ask Sister Belen:
"Can fire cleanse these curses?"
The nun at the table nodded slightly:
"Yes, but I can't do it in my current state."
Sister Belen's problem was that she was affected by the power of evil, and the primordial fire in her body was suppressed to the point of near silence. In fact, after coming to this world, she was not in a perfect state. When she first came here, Shade knew that she could not draw out the greatsword [Ashes] for the time being.
If you want to solve Theresa's problem, you have to solve the nun's problem first. The nun's problem is actually very easy to solve. The primordial fire can theoretically burn anything, but the power of most things is not enough to turn into firewood to enhance the power of the primordial fire.
Although the flame in the nun's body was suppressed, as long as she found a way to release it again, she could directly burn away the remaining power of the evil creature. Although she herself could not do it now, the first fire in Shade's body was not only complete, but also abnormally vigorous.
He moved a chair and sat next to Sister Belen, holding her left hand and saying:
"The nun in the future asked me to bring her a message. The sword, fire, and eye mask are all passed down well."
Sister Beren nodded slightly, and then "saw" the flame appearing from Shad's palm, and then continuously flowing into her body through her arm.
Although they were flames from different eras, because they were all [Original Fire], there was no rejection reaction when Shade's flame entered her body and soul.
The effect of the fusion of flames far exceeded Shade's expectations. This fusion was two-way. Not only did it allow Sister Belen to "glimpse" the extraordinary completeness of the future First Fire, but it also allowed Shade to gain some knowledge about the "Original Fire" that had been lost in the sparks due to the change of eras through the resonance of the flames.
This knowledge was like the thick ashes at the bottom of the furnace, which he had only obtained but could not understand again. But it didn't matter at all, because the knowledge incorporated into the soul of the stranger would never leave, because he himself was the library.
The reignition of the flame not only burned away the power of the evil creature, it also unexpectedly restored the damaged flame in Sister Beren's body to its full strength. Even Shad didn't know he could achieve this.
This "treatment" didn't last long, but it consumed a lot of the flame in Shade's body. So after the dormant flame in the nun's body was rekindled, the nun holding the fire shared part of her flame with Shade, and Shade quickly returned the flame.
So in the process of consuming-obtaining-consuming-obtaining the flame, although Xia De lost a lot of spirit, he felt that after the flame in his body was reignited, the flame seemed to become much thicker.
After dinner, Sister Belen went to treat Theresa's left arm, while Shade continued to check on Miss Violet. The puppet she was using now was no different from a real living person, so she could treat it as a living person.
Shad had a lot of experience with fainting after exhaustion. The same reason led to his fainting after fighting the devil last Friday. In this case, he could be revived by taking some potions or simple treatment, but the girls wanted Shad to rest, so they didn't wake him up on Friday.
If time wasn't so tight, Shade would have wanted to let Miss Violet have a good rest, but unfortunately, even if he had 120 minutes this time, it still wasn't enough.
After apologizing softly, Shade helped the girl up from the cot, first fed her the potion he carried with him, and then used the magic [Chloe's Ice Echo]. Snowflakes began to fall in the room. Although Shade had always used this magic as a fighting force, it could actually restore the physical strength of the companions around him after the magic was activated.
The girl who was sitting with his support soon opened her eyes in confusion and woke up. After seeing that it was Xia De nearby, she asked softly:
“Is this a dream now?”
Then she kissed Shad gently.
The girl with glasses who was sitting by the fireplace and being treated by the nun was sure that her aunt was fully awake before she opened her eyes. Her aunt had gone from an ordinary girl with no background to her current status, and it was not just luck that helped her. She even suspected that her aunt's "exhaustion coma" was also part of the plan.
But this time she thought too much.
Although Mia had just had breakfast at home, she didn't mind having another one, but she didn't eat much because she disliked Shade's cooking. After waking up, Miss Violet also ate something simple. She was more knowledgeable than anyone else present, and had a deeper understanding of "Mrs. Swelling":
"The Hound said that the gravedigger is the chosen one of God. In fact, Madam Swelling is also the chosen one of God. The old gods rule this kingdom of the dead. Madam Swelling was given some power to influence this world. It is normal that we cannot defeat her.
I saw that the essence of its power also came from the original god of death. When I said during the battle that it was born in the early days of the First Age, didn't it smile and say, "I died in the first death and was born at the beginning of the flow of time"? This reminded me of the secret story that the Great Witch of Knowledge of the previous generation once told me. "
She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell the stories, but finally decided to reveal part of them:
"That is a story about the first dead. The so-called first does not refer to the first dead person in the world, but the first batch of dead people at the beginning of the world. The rumored old god [God of the Drowned Deep Sea] appeared at that time. And Madam Swelling was probably also a dead person at that time."
In order to prevent the ancient secret from affecting everyone's spirit, Miss Violet spoke very cautiously. But even so, Miss Liad still covered her forehead, and blood oozed from her eyes, mouth and nose. Theresa, who had just regained consciousness in her left hand, felt a sudden faint, but before she saw an endless yellow ocean in her hallucination, she was pulled back by Sister Belen's flame.
The nun and Shade were fine:
"If this is true, then the evil creature may know the secret of the birth of the world?"
"Yes, but there were many evil creatures born in the early mythological era, and this one is not particularly dangerous. If we were not in the Tombstone Wasteland but in the real world, we would not be in such a mess even if we could not defeat it. This is the opponent's home ground."
Even the demigod witch was still cautious about this kind of thing. In this era, there was no "demigod blessed by God". Just as Theresa said, her real body could not defeat that thing even here:
"But its weakness is also obvious. No matter how powerful it is, its body is still a rotting corpse. Although the Giant King is also a corpse, its power comes from its bloodline and the skills it has honed. The power of the Swelling Lady is essentially the undead. Any power that can deal with the undead can have a good effect on it."
The girls' injuries were treated, and after dinner, it was almost time for them to set off for the end of this journey, which was the passage to the world of the living.
The 13 burial objects were placed in the box at the end of the bed, and when it was opened a moment later, there was nothing inside. But all the souls in the gravekeeper's hut, including the two hounds lying in front of the fireplace, knew the location of the "end point".
"It doesn't look like the distance is very close."
Miss Violet said, and Shade nodded, estimating whether he had enough time to deal with any unexpected events along the way:
"Just get ready. We'll set off in fifteen minutes. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't come back after we leave here."
Miss Liad and Theresa then began to pack up the things in the cabin and prepare to evacuate. They decided to leave some spare supplies in the house, on the one hand to prevent the group from retreating, and on the other hand to give some hope of survival to possible unlucky later comers.
The nun and Miss Violet, who looked to be about sixteen, both took the time to recover. Once they left the cottage, it would be difficult to rest. Shade didn't need to reply, but he looked at the house and thought of another thing:
"Last time, the hound said that this place belonged to the fourth angel of the ancient gods, the 'Angel of Requiem'. After I went back, I asked my friend about the story of this angel. My friend said that this angel has long disappeared, but he suggested that I read the words in a holy book left by the angel in this small house where the angel once lived (Chapter 3311)."
Shade coughed, and imitated the way that Father Augustus used sound to vibrate the spirits and elements, and spoke clearly:
"[The dead need not only a rest as precise as the gears of a clock, they also crave mercy.]"
As the voice fell, a large patch of white light suddenly appeared above the hut. Everyone immediately retreated to the wall, but only three beautiful white feathers quietly fell in the patch of light.
After the feather with strong miracle elements fell on the table below, the light disappeared immediately. Mia was squatting on the table, so she immediately moved closer to smell the feather, and then determined that it was not edible.
Just as Xia De was approaching Feather, he was startled by a bang from the corner of the wall.
"It's the sound in the box."
The hound, who had already stood up from the fireplace, immediately reminded her. Violet wanted to go over, but Shade stopped her immediately:
"I'll go."
He carefully opened the box, and inside was a thick, wrinkled leather book. Not only the front and back covers were made of leather, but every page inside was also made of leather.
The letters on the cover made of black skeleton patterns were the title of the book. The words from the Second Age were successfully translated by Shade:
"The Holy Book of Eternal Sleep."
