"What do you want?"
Yin Luna asked impatiently:
"I don't like guessing riddles, and I don't like staying in this stinky place all the time."
This is a sewer after all, and the only lighting is the light ball summoned by Yin Luna.
So the girl pointed at Shade:
"I want his blood."
"My blood?"
Xia De, who had been silent, raised his eyebrows and asked before Yin Luna wanted to object:
"I can give you my blood, but you have to answer me, why do you need my blood?"
He frowned slightly:
"I once used a strange relic to identify my bloodline. As far as I know, I am 100% human."
The young girl selling flowers pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing, to prevent herself from being hit by the falling moon while walking on the night street:
"I'm just a girl selling flowers. I don't understand what you're saying. Give me your blood, not a lot, and then I'll leave this city. The twisted soil and the hot blood of the noble will produce the most beautiful flowers. That's all I want."
"Shade, the witches said that you had a serious illness a few days ago..."
Yin Luna looked at Xia De hesitantly. Xia De shook his head and continued to say to the girl:
"You didn't answer me, but you actually told me the answer. What's the difference between my blood and other people's blood?"
The girl blinked:
"Well... there is great power in your soul, so your blood also has extraordinary power... That's it. Yes, don't let your imagination run wild. You are just an ordinary human being. My words definitely don't give you any answers."
She spoke as if she was a little scared, and the "she" beside Xia De's ear laughed, but this time the laughter was a little strange.
"Okay, I'll take that as it is."
Xia De said softly, raising his wrist:
"How much do you need?"
"Just drip it into my flowerpot, and that will be enough when it blooms."
"I'll help you."
Yin Luna said worriedly.
So the two of them and the little girl went to the back of the room, to the table against the brick wall, and the girl carefully jumped onto a stool to see the flower pot.
Yin Luna took out a knife, carefully cut Xia De's finger, and then squeezed out a drop of blood.
"Yin Luna, are you too conservative? Shouldn't it be the wrist?"
"You have just recovered from a serious illness. Don't try bloodletting. It would have been eliminated in the old days."
The seventeen-year-old girl said.
The first drop of blood fell into the flowerpot, and the seedlings in the pot grew rapidly and soon grew into tall branches. The second drop of blood fell into the flowerpot, and branches grew and flower buds appeared one by one. The third drop of blood fell into the flowerpot, and white daisies bloomed.
At least it looked like a daisy.
"My blood can have this effect?"
Xia De was puzzled by this and decided to find a flower pot and try it himself when he had time.
"Of course not under normal circumstances. It was my flowerpot and my power that brought about this result."
The girl looked very happy as she saw the flowers in the pot blooming:
"You can take those four girls with you. I don't need them anymore. I'm leaving this city now. After all, something big is going to happen here, so it's better to leave early and avoid the limelight."
She picked up the flower pot, which was a little too big for her body, and smiled brightly. But then she thought of something else, so she put the flower pot back down:
"And there are gifts for you."
"I don't want your gift."
Yin Luna snorted, and the girl smiled and didn't speak to her.
She reached into her small basket and took out a pair of scissors for pruning branches:
"Since you don't want my gift, then both gifts will be given to this gentleman. Can you give me a drop of your blood? So that this pure white flower prepared for this gentleman can be dyed with your color."
Yin Luna reluctantly stretched out her hand and dropped a drop of her blood on a small white flower that had just bloomed in the flowerpot. The blood quickly dyed the flower red like the morning sun in summer.
So the girl selling flowers cut the small flower off the branch and handed it to Xia De:
"This is a summer flower born from the twisted earth. If you eat this flower, it may bring you the power of this young girl."
She smiled and repeated what Yin Luna had just said about her age. Xia De took the flower and immediately felt warm all over.
"Carrying this flower, you will not be afraid of the cold of winter. Born from the twisted earth, born from the blood of the sage, born from the gift of the hero of destiny. This is the most beautiful flower, this is the bravest flower."
She spoke in a childish voice, as if singing. Then she picked up her small flower basket and held up the large flower pot:
"Also, I chose this place because there is a twisted land nearby. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Farewell, destined hero, next time you see me, don't be so angry. Anger will make girls age faster."
"you... ... "
Yin Luna felt that she couldn't control her temper today, and the girl selling flowers smiled and asked Xiang Xiade:
"Sir, do you have anything else to say? Nothing, I'm about to leave."
Somehow, Xia De actually felt that he saw the shadow of desire in this girl. This was not to say that the girl in front of him had the same almost infinite charm as desire, but that as humanoid relics, they did not look like relics at all.
"Desire?"
The girl suddenly asked, and Xia De was startled:
"Can you read minds?"
"Of course not, but you literally write on your face what you're thinking."
The little girl smiled and said in a sweet voice:
"But your idea is correct. Autumn is the season of harvest and gain, which is very similar to the ability represented by desire. If you want to find autumn flowers, you can ask her for help."
After saying this, he said goodbye to Xia De and Yin Luna who was still angry:
"Goodbye, I look forward to seeing you next time."
After saying that, she carried the flower pot and the small basket, and skipped away from the iron fence. When Xia De followed her out and wanted to see where she went, the relic had disappeared here, leaving only a nursery rhyme-like song:
"Praise the earth and you,
Praise the earth and me.
Buy small flowers.
Reap the fruits of sincerity.
Bless the flower girl,
The gods of another world protect us.
May the earth be with you and me,
May the delicate flower-like childhood never fade away. "
The second half of the song was unclear and Xia De did not hear the whole thing.
"Do I look... old?"
Yin Luna didn't care about the girl at all, but hesitantly pulled Xia De's sleeve.
Xia De twisted the flowers in his hand:
"Why would you think so? Even Princess Ajelina, who is the same age as you, looks more mature than you."
"Why do I feel like you're not complimenting me... Never mind."
She put her hands behind her back and asked Xiang Xiade hesitantly:
"Knight, can you give me some help? Let me... ...be more confident in my charm."
Xia De also looked at her:
"I've always thought you were very attractive, even compared to the big witches... okay."
He moved closer to Yin Luna, and kissed her as she closed her eyes and leaned her head forward slightly.
In this way, the investigation of the "missing flower girl" case was officially concluded, and Shade also harvested a summer flower. After completing the "Worm Cave" time key mission, the white flower composed of petals given by friends was a spring flower, and in this way, Shade had gathered part of the offerings for the Chosen One Ceremony.
Of course, they can't leave the sewer area now, because the flower girl said when she left that there is also twisted land nearby, which represents the existence of "crazy land".
Because they didn't know the exact location, Xia De and Yin Luna could only search on both sides of the sewer pipe after confirming the safety of the four sleeping girls. Even Xia De could only detect the existence of the "Crazy Earth" after he came into contact with it.
But unfortunately, the searches at both ends were not smooth, and neither Xia De nor Yin Luna found anything unusual.
After meeting again in the sewer hut, Yin Luna proposed another idea:
"Since that annoying girl wanted to use the twisted power of the earth to plant flowers, it means that the place where she planted the flowers should be very close to the Crazy Land."
So Shade turned his gaze to the stone brick wall behind the table. He walked over and touched it with his hand, but did not find the power of the crazy earth:
“Is there nothing behind this wall?”
"Why don't you just open it and try it?"
Yin Luna was eager to try, so she asked Xia De to move the table aside:
"I recently learned a new trick, see."
She rubbed her palms together, then asked Shade to step back and faced the brick wall herself:
"Look at my—ha!"
He thrust his palm forward, and it was like a white mist flew out from his palm. The invisible force field formed a huge impact force, directly blasting the wall backwards and causing it to cave in:
"Sure enough, there's nothing at the back. Let's do it again—ha!"
Yin Luna slapped forward again, and this time the bricks of the wall finally broke away from the wall and flew backwards in pieces. The sound waves they stirred up continued to echo in the empty sewer.
And this move of hers inexplicably reminded Xia De of the blow he received from long-haired Luvia in the Temple of Night.
Behind the brick wall was a sealed secret room with no other exit. As soon as Shad lowered his head and stepped over the hole, he felt the power of the crazy earth.
The situation here was not serious, and even the city ground above could not feel it. Because the ground was covered with a layer of black mud, Xia De did not let Yin Luna come in. He lit up the moonlight on his fingertips to check the general situation of the secret room, and then said to the girl outside the wall:
"I don't see any special features of this crazy land. It seems to be just pure pollution."
