Stranger, you have stepped into the "Cemetery of Souls".
After the familiar reminder, the surroundings were still filled with thick white fog, with dense tombstones standing in the fog. Underfoot there were square tombstones inserted diagonally into the ground, upright cross tombstones, and wooden tombstones that were almost rotten.
These tombstones are of different sizes and shapes, and the only thing they have in common is that there is no text on them.
“That’s really interesting.”
Xia De squatted down and touched the rough square tombstone in front of him. "She" felt the information and told Xia De the result.
Shade said to Luvia:
"On these blank tombstones, engrave the names of the dead and summon their souls. No matter what the cause of death is, it doesn't matter even if the soul is shattered, but a shattered soul can only find remnants. Here, connected to the calm waters behind the Gate of Death, you can summon souls regardless of any conditions."
“Do you just need to engrave your name?”
Luvia asked curiously.
"In addition to the name, recognized title, nickname, and nickname, we also need the year of birth and death and a more specific cause of death. Oh, and we also need to have had contact. Very simple contact is fine, even a glance will count. But it can't be someone you see in the newspaper..."
Shade paused:
"Neither can we call upon souls outside the Sixth Epoch."
"What can be done after summoning a spirit?"
"You can do anything. Smash the soul, ask questions, or even bring it back to the real world. But bringing it back to the real world requires a price, and that's fair. This is the cemetery of the soul, the resting place of the soul. The living people who come here are the temporary owners of the soul. Compared with the time corridor and the space maze, this place is also very useful. If Qiao Yin Barton could enter here, he wouldn't have to be defeated by me in the end..."
Xia De's fingers touched the tombstone and he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something important (note):
"In addition, you can bring broken souls here, and the cemetery will repair them. If you bring materialized dead souls here, they can undergo some... wonderful changes."
Luvia looked around and was very interested in this place:
"The ring sorcerers who manipulate the undead will probably be crazy excited about this place, but unfortunately I am only good at divination."
Xia De asked quietly in his heart:
"What's the extra information?"
Sacrificing a drop of divinity, or sacrificing a "heart of the living dead", can safely open the door to real death. That is, a one-time two-way door.
Although Shade possesses the magic "Death's Door", the additional function of the Soul Cemetery is still very useful, or particularly useful. However, Shade currently does not know what it can be used for.
"But what is the heart of the living dead?"
He searched for information in the two witch echoes in his head, and then sought help from the racial knowledge of elves and blood-sucking species, but there was no answer.
The female fortune teller asked Luvia softly and thought for a moment:
"I think I've heard about it in the college's elective course, 'Time and Fate: The Impermanence of Death.' I'll go back and look it up in the book and tell you."
But it didn't matter whether he knew what it was or not. Shad never wanted to set foot in that shallow water again. He had had enough of this death journey to Midhill Castle this fall.
At noon, I took the cat and the purple-eyed girl to have a leisurely lunch. Luvia originally wanted to stay at St. Teresa's Square No. 6 tonight to carefully check Shad's physical condition after the battle of Midhill Castle and test his physical fitness level. But when Tifa left this morning, she said that Shad had to stay at Miss Carina's manor tonight to tell the witch about Wednesday and then wait for new news from Midhill Castle, so Shad could only regretfully refuse Luvia.
Seeing his regretful look, Luvia kissed his cheek in the carriage:
"There will be plenty of time later, my knight. Saturday is when Dorothy will give you lessons. How about Sunday night? I'll bring some red wine, and you can prepare a candlelight dinner in advance."
The carriage stopped in front of the Prophet's Association, and she said goodbye to Shad with a smile.
"Wait a minute, here's your gift."
But Shade called the purple-eyed girl again:
"Teardrops of the Soul."
He handed the spoils he had obtained from the Blind House to Luvia:
"Your special divination is very taxing on the soul. When Father Augustus returns, ask him to make this into a potion that can repair the soul."
Luvia looked at Shade with some surprise, but did not refuse.
"Also, you were able to guess how to open the door right away on Wednesday night. That's amazing. Tifa told me that you seemed to have prepared everything in advance."
Xia De praised again.
"I am a very good fortune teller."
Luvia pointed at herself and kissed Shade on the cheek before getting off the carriage.
Shad smiled and waved to her from the car window, then watched her enter the Prophet's Association.
So, which soul is it intended to heal
"Her alter ego is severely damaged, or so you told me."
Xia De responded softly in his heart, thinking of how when he and Luvia kissed, he sometimes had the illusion of kissing two people at the same time:
"Everyone has their own secrets, but Luvia, you are really worrying."
Miss Carina's carriage came to pick up Shade around 3:00 p.m. Before that, Shade returned home and took stock of the gains from this adventure.
The greatest reward is to be promoted from the third ring to the fourth ring. Although this means the gradual fading of the afterglow of divinity, it is enough to just find the next drop of divinity.
In addition, the mission of the key in the year 3024 of the Fifth Epoch was completely completed, more uses of the Moonlight Greatsword were obtained, and the illusion of Moon Shadow was temporarily lost, in exchange for the power of the Red Dragon. Before bidding farewell to the gray-robed sage, the story of God provided a search in the spell library. The blasphemous Red Moon obtained by absorbing the divinity of the blood-sucking god was temporarily sealed, but in exchange for the extremely useful spell incarnation Red Butterfly and Red Butterfly illusion.
"Of course, this is the most important thing."
Shade carefully restored Miss Orlanod's black cape from a toy to a real object. Even though it was brought back to the modern era in the form of a toy, this originally brand new cape has now become an old item.
This is a new souvenir, just like the "Felianna Notes" in the Thousand Trees Forest, the "Future Man Card" in the Dread Castle, and the "Black and White Hairband" in the Night Manor. It is a souvenir after the end of a journey. Shade pushed the extra hangers in the house into the basement, carefully hung the cloak on the hangers, and stored it in the hidden space in the basement.
Grace and Helen's hairbands are placed on the hanger, Filianna's notes and the card Future Man are placed below the hanger, and next to it is God's gift box. In the future, there will probably be more collections here, allowing Shade to reminisce about the journey of the past in his spare time:
"We'll meet again."
This cloak is Miss Orlanod's personal item. Fine needlework has embroidered elven runes on it that are barely noticeable, allowing the cloak to retain body temperature and not easily get dirty. Although it is not as valuable as Feliana's notebook, it is equally important to Shade.
I thought you would put your nose to it and smell the perfume from a previous era.
As Shad quietly thanked God for the gift box, "she" smiled and teased.
"How could I do something like that?"
For the sake of his own reputation, Xia De immediately refuted, but after thinking about it, he asked again:
"However, after thousands of years, the cloak itself has been washed away by time. Will there still be any smell on it?"
"She" just chuckled and didn't answer.
Of course, in addition to the cloak of great commemorative value, this adventure also brought other important gains. The Founding Death is self-explanatory, and the Keeper-level relic Higgs Dragon Head Stone can only cause damage to enemies with the "Dragon" and "Giant" attributes, but this relic is really useful in the right application scenario.
It could be kept secret by burying it in salt, so Xia De placed it in a bowl of salt and also put it in the basement.
The silly cat was very interested in the snow-white thing. It dipped its paw in it, and then licked its paw before Shad noticed it... Cats can't eat too much salt. Shad was very worried about Xiaomia's health, so he caught the cat and forced it to drink several drops of clean water treated with full food.
The Red Butterfly Pendant is of course also a relic, and a very powerful one at that. It is a key item that is to be given to Lecia and Dorothy to deal with their problems. Shad plans to mention it to Dorothy when he meets with the doctor tomorrow afternoon, and talk to her about the story of Joe Yin Barton.
"Dhampir ring... where did it come from?"
He forcefully snatched the bloody metal ring from Mia's tail. This ring can be used by someone other than the wearer to convert any other race into a vampire, but the wearer will be infected with a terrible blood thirst disease. Even though cats can't talk and can't turn into "vampire cats", Shade still thinks this thing is particularly dangerous to Mia.
In particular, the characteristics of the Transformation Ring, the Fish Training Ring and the Vampire Ring seem to form a chain with clear conditions.
But the most difficult harvest was actually the blood wine brewed with a quarter of Joe Yin Barton's soul. Xia De originally hoped to use this to exchange the Red Butterfly Twins from the blood-sucking god, but he didn't expect that the god didn't like this bottle of wine at all and commented that it was "rubbish".
Therefore, this bottle of blood brew was forced to stay in Shade's hands. It was undoubtedly powerful, but Shade hated to increase his strength by "eating people", so he would not drink it himself, let alone sell it to others.
A quarter of Barton's soul will remain in his basement forever. Many, many years later, when Shad's life comes to an end, or he successfully ascends to the throne of God, he will go to find Marilyn Handel and Joeyne Barton, appreciate what they did after returning to the world, and consider whether to return the soul to each other.
"I am indeed a good person."
Shad was very pleased with this.
The lost Night Watcher is now in Yin Luna's hands, and I believe she will find a way to get it back soon. Although the Soul Fishing Rod was unfortunately "sacrificed", its sacrifice was valuable. Shade will always miss it, and then hurry up to find the next relic that may usurp divinity.
Shad has not forgotten the help of the innocent creator. He hopes that he can witness the awakening of the departed old god in his lifetime and thank him for his kindness in person.
"Although it is dangerous to pursue the Chosen One, the rewards are truly great."
The high-purity No. 2 holy water obtained from the narrow church was locked in a drawer in the study as a strategic material, and the relics taken away before leaving home were also classified and stored again.
While sorting out his belongings, Shad found a strange roll of parchment, and after thinking about it, he remembered that it was the reward given to him by Mr. Lacon Mathis, the twelve-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun in Middleburg Diocese, for helping him guard the church before he swung his sword to split open the Door of Death (Chapter 782).
"I remember this is Thaumaturgy - Sidon's Sign."
Sitting on the sofa and opening the parchment, Mia, who was a little angry because Shade had forced her to drink the "potion", immediately slid over and stretched her head, and then Shade took off the vampire ring on her tail again, which made the cat even angrier. But soon, she got the life-transforming ring again, so she forgot her anger towards Shade and meowed and lay on his legs.
"Don't always wear the same relic ring. You will be affected by the relic. But you can wear it alternately. I don't know why you like this tail ornament instead of the little bell around your neck... When you go to see Sister Defulin next week, remember to remind me and ask where this ring came from."
Shade muttered to himself into the air.
OK
