Whispering Verse

In the third-floor room of the underground ruins, the three of them stood together to rest and prepare to continue their journey. So far, they haven't encountered ring warlocks, but this is the limit. It is impossible for the silver-eyed ones not to notice them.

If he was really stupid and forgot to take extra precautions in the ruins, he wouldn't be alive now.

"But how did the people of Mercury Blood get through here?"

Miss Bayas thought of this question:

"Are there special individuals among them like detectives?"

"This mirror has no obvious effect on warlocks of level seven or above. Although the silver-eyed man's strength has dropped to the level of level six, he is indeed still a nine-level warlock. He can move forward despite the damage and explore the ruins alone. Maybe [ "When Mercury Blood] developed this ruins, there were only a few warlocks above the seventh level who served as the main exploration members."

Miss Anat gave a guess, and then added:

"Of course, it's also possible that they have other safe methods."

"We didn't meet the person who came in in the morning as the detective said. Does this mean that the person is also above the seventh ring and is waiting for us inside?"

Miss Bayas asked again, Miss Anat tossed a coin, and then said to Shade:

"Listen to the sound. You may gain something after the third time."

"no problem."

He closed his eyes to sharpen his hearing.

On the first try, Miss Bayas's voice is describing Shade's fist smashing the mirror.

On the second try, the sound of violent breathing seemed to be right next to my ears, but it quickly disappeared. After waiting for half a minute, no other sound appeared.

On the third try, he heard the end of a conversation——

"...So definitely don't go near that tree."

Then the footsteps left here, and the footsteps were heavy, as if they were carrying something heavy.

After the fourth try, I finally got the answer:

"I didn't expect this relic's countermeasures to be so simple. Carrying another mirror to completely cover your face will exempt you from the effect of the [mirror behind]."

This is the man with the strange accent, the ring warlock from the [Blood Spirit School] who entered here in the morning.

"No, this method can only be used with those above the fourth ring. Below the fourth ring, even if there is a mirror in front of you, you will be hurt by the relics... Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

This sound had never been heard before.

"Silver-eyed man, do you think it is easy to go from the New World to the Old World? The two people originally arranged by the organization should arrive at Tobesk on the weekend, and they will probably disembark at the Coldwater Port tonight. But the organization received your letter and knew about the ruins There is that tree in there, which is why I took the risk to come here to see you. Do you know how important the mission I originally performed nearby is? The mission I performed was related to the unknowable relic! I hope your information is correct, relic That tree in there is really..."

Shade opened his eyes and looked at the door on the right. After the footsteps crossed the door, all sounds disappeared immediately.

"What's the result?"

Miss Bayas asked.

"Strangers are above the seventh ring and above the fourth ring."

Shade frowned, feeling a little uneasy:

"The other party is definitely from the [Blood Spirit School], but he was not originally arranged to come here. The other party was originally executing other plans nearby, and it is suspected to be related to the out-of-control level 0 relic handled by the church. Because of a tree, the stranger was arrested Make urgent arrangements to come here to meet with the Silver Eyed One."

"Blood Spirit School? Tree?"

Miss Anat looked even more uneasy than Shade:

"This is terrible. The history of the Blood Spirit School can be traced back to several eras. Things that this ancient organization cares about may not be simple."

"But what is a tree?"

Miss Bayas asked.

"My guess is that the 'tree' refers to the relic that was suppressed here. Oh, remember, never get close to any tree, that thing is very dangerous."

Shade reminded, while Miss Anat became more and more uneasy. Miss Bayas still has the confidence to move forward, while Shade is not particularly concerned about what is in front of the ruins.

What he cared about was the top of his head. He had not forgotten the uneasiness he told the maid in the carriage.

But in short, they had no time to stop and could only keep moving forward.

This time, Miss Anat walked in the front. She took out the compass in her hand to guide the direction, put on the monocle to break the illusion, and then pushed open the stone door pointed out by Shade.

Behind the door is a narrow corridor, with brick walls made of large stone bricks at the feet, above the head, and on the left and right. The corridor is not long, and you can see a fork in the road not far ahead. This is the special illusion created by the clerical relic [Maze Candle] brought into the ruins by the Silver Eyed One predicted by Miss Anat.

"Follow me. The structure of this maze will change at any time. Without guidance, it is difficult to get out by luck."

The female diviner waved to the two people behind her, and they continued to maintain the formation with Shade in the middle and Miss Bayas behind.

"However, since the candle was brought into the ruins by the Silver-Eyed Man, what was the space behind this door originally used for?"

Shade asked in a low voice when setting off, but his companions could not give an answer to this question.

As they got closer and closer to the deepest part of the ruins, they all remained very vigilant. Miss Anat walked in front holding the compass. Even with the guidance of the compass, she would toss a coin at each fork to divine and then choose the direction.

She is only a three-ring warlock, and the accuracy of the divination cannot be guaranteed, but there is no problem if she gives it a try.

Shade walked between the two ladies, which was theoretically the safest. Therefore, while walking, he still had time to turn around and look at Miss Bayas behind him, who looked at him doubtfully:

"What's up?"

"fine."

Shade shook his head, sighing in his heart that the seventeen-year-old girl behind him was really very different from her peers.

Five minutes after entering the maze, the three of them heard a strange sound from the distance at the same time, as if some kind of animal cub was crying. The sound lasted for thirty seconds before stopping, but it continued to echo in the maze after that.

Judging from the information found, this clerical relic that formed the maze was only used to create the maze. There were no dangerous animals in the maze to hunt people who broke into the maze. But the sound didn't sound like the collective hallucination of the three of them, so Miss Anat quietly reminded the two companions behind her to get ready for battle.

Eight minutes after entering the maze, footsteps appeared at the fork in the road ahead. But when the three people, whose vigilance had reached its peak, arrived, they did not see any people in the other three directions of the fork in the road.

Miss Anat was very upset and tossed the coin three times, but with no results:

"The most likely scenario is that the Silver Eyed Ones discovered us."

"Finally found us."

Miss Bayas said softly.

Before the sound could even finish, the ground beneath his feet began to vibrate.

The maze is trembling.
