Chapter 2809: Kiss with lowered eyes
The huge figure did not disappear after one blow, but continued to calmly stare at the smoke and dust on the ground. But soon the black-haired lady took the initiative to cancel the thaumaturgy, took back the sword with dissatisfaction and flew back to the flying carpet:
“Let it run away and it has actually transformed into a natural phenomenon in this woodland”
The power of her attack was far greater than the doctor’s sublimation words, but the doctor’s sublimation words were specifically aimed at this demon, so she could not defeat him with one strike like the psychiatrist thirty years later.
However, the sorceress did not want to continue chasing that thing. Even she would be difficult to completely eliminate this existence. And now she was anxious to treat Shade’s injuries. After returning to the flying carpet, she continued to chase the silver moonlight waiting for them ahead.
The moonlight did not fly beyond the scope of the Vista Woodland, and finally landed in a quiet and unmarked place deep in the woodland.
The gurgling stream reflects the moonlight, which makes the place not particularly dark. After the black-haired lady jumped off the flying carpet with Shade in her arms, she took a few steps forward and entered the forest. After a few minutes, she saw the moonlight and stopped.
It swayed in the air a few times, and the scenery that had been hidden for so long returned to the forest.
Amidst the slight vibrations on the ground, a small temple entangled with vines, hidden by trees, and occupied by weeds appeared among the originally dense woods.
It is said to be a temple, but it is actually just four pillars standing at the four corners of a square space covered with floor tiles. There are no walls or roofs here, and in the center of the temple, there stands a statue of a goddess.
Even the well-informed Ms. Helena Carter rarely sees this kind of situation. The true image of the gods cannot be observed by mortals. Therefore, when people build temples, they prefer to use holy symbols. She had heard of religious places that used statues of gods to represent their respective beliefs, but this was the first time she had actually seen such an ancient statue of a god.
The moonlight filled the forest, and the sound of wind made the forest rustle. There is no tree canopy above the temple, so the moonlight causes the shadows of three of the four pillars to fall into the temple, while the rest of the temple is illuminated by the quiet moonlight.
If the statue of the goddess stood up, it should be more than five meters tall. But at this moment, it seemed to be sitting on the stone platform with its body pressed against the legs covered by the skirt. The body was slightly tilted and the head was lowered. The hands seemed to be hugging something.
Half of his face is illuminated by the moonlight, while half of his face is in shadow, making the whole face quite three-dimensional. The erosion of the years has roughened the surface of the statue. The face of the **** carved by mortals is not beautiful, but it still looks magical under the moonlight.
“There must have been something in the arms of the statue. Was it taken away?”
The sorceress of the Thirteen Rings stood outside the temple and thought that the moonlight that guided them had disappeared, and she suddenly understood something. She helped Shade and stepped into this place that was almost integrated with the forest. of ancient buildings.
There are no other signs at all in this temple. There are no words on the floor tiles, stone pillars and the base of the statue. She just saw the goddess lowering her eyes as if she was sad, and she knew it must be He is a good God. So after softly expressing her apology to the statue, she used a spell to lift Shadeto up and let him fly towards the statue, and finally lay in the empty arms of the statue.
In hindsight, even Helena Carter herself was surprised by her bold behavior.
After doing all this, she temporarily exited the temple backwards, and then watched the moonlight gathering on the statue become brighter and brighter, until the statue itself also lit up with the holy brilliance of pure silver.
The scene that happened next was beyond her comprehension.
In the gentle moonlight, this statue that had stood here for countless thousands of years actually started to move.
? looked at Shade in his arms with a sad expression on his face, and then picked him up with two hands. Because the statue was too big, it hugged Shade like a baby.
The radiance of the holy silver was not strong, the moonlight was still as gentle as every night, and Helena Carter once thought that this moment was a dream.
In the moonlight, the color of the stone shell on the surface of the statue was almost invisible, leaving only the pure silver light. The statue gradually moved its face closer to Shade’s face.
?Putting the side of his face against the side of the unconscious Shade’s face, this maternal scene became more and more sacred. Then, the statue raised its side face, and then the **** gently kissed Shade’s forehead. This kiss also brought out the moonlight in Shade’s body, and the dazzling light forced the black-haired lady to cover her eyes.
“What happened?”
After waiting for a while, all the light subsided, Helena Carter put down her hand, and saw that the forest was still quiet, and the statues covered with moss and cracks maintained the same posture as when they came. The remaining moonlight in the surrounding space gradually subsided, and Shade, who was lying in the arms of the statue, covered his head and stood up, as if he still didn’t understand what happened:
“Where is this? What happened?”
The black-haired lady hurried over again and helped Shade get off the arms of the statue. Only then did Shade understand the surrounding environment, but before he could see the full picture of the statue, a layer of sand and dust appeared on the surface of the statue, and then the entire statue and even the pillars and floor tiles of the entire temple became dusty. It was scattered into fly ash, and was quickly blown away by the night wind, disappearing without leaving any trace.
Although Helena Carter understood that it was probably Shade’s moonfire that resonated with this place that was suspected to be the ruins of the Moon God, she still felt that this ancient temple had stood in the desolate woodland for countless years. , seems to be waiting for tonight, waiting to welcome Sha De who needs treatment.
“So what happened?”
Shad still didn’t understand the situation. He only remembered that Yuehuo’s treatment seemed to be ineffective, and then he fainted again. After waking up, everything was normal, but the statue that he hadn’t had time to see clearly had disappeared.
“Don’t talk yet, let me see you.”
The black-haired lady said, holding Shade’s head and looking at his forehead, which was the place where he seemed to be kissed by the statue just now. But there was nothing there, not even an obvious element of wonder.
“How are you feeling now?”
She then asked again, and Xia De also felt it, and “she” in his ear spoke softly at this moment, as gentle as the midsummer night wind:
[Outlander, you have swallowed the “Curse of the Great Tree”, and you have gained new characteristics: self-healing power ↑, toxin resistance ↑↑, nature affinity ↑↑↑, and physical recovery speed ↑. 】
[You have a certain resistance to this curse. 】
[Outlander, you have received a brief moonlight blessing: within three days, your self-recovery ability has been greatly enhanced. 】
[Outlander, your spell – “Moon Fire” has been enhanced. In addition to the existing effects of healing, purifying toxins, and expelling negative states, it has the new ability to purify powerful curses. But please note that moonfire still cannot expel all curses. 】
After a slight pause, “she” added;
[Outlander, you can absorb the aura of the ancient moon **** and enhance the power of “moon fire” by finding other moon **** powers scattered in the material world. Since this spell is a blessing from the gods, the spell – “Moonfire” can only be improved in this way. 】
“Moon God.”
“What did you say?”
The black-haired lady on the side tilted her head and said, and Shade explained that he had recovered from the blessing of the statue, and explained the tips he had received.
As for the fact that he has swallowed the “curse of the great tree”, the outsider is not surprised at all. His body seems to have the talent of “devouring the power that can enhance itself”. Starting from the initial flesh and blood of “desire”, he has swallowed a lot of strange entities and non-entities.
Among the four improvements obtained this time, poison resistance has the smallest effect. After all, the initial fire itself provides extremely strong poison resistance. Shade’s self-healing power and physical recovery speed are never too small. As for “natural affinity”, this seems to be the most important part of this improvement.
When moving in this woodland, many things will become very convenient with natural affinity.
Hearing what he said, the sorceress of the Thirteen Rings looked at the statue of the **** that had disappeared behind him, with an expression of special awe:
“I said that I must have read it right, that is Moonfire. I just didn’t expect that in our era there are still mortals who can be blessed by the moon god. Daniste has really found an amazing student. But as long as you’re okay, let’s go back and tell me what happened to you later. This ancient curse is really scary.”
The temple has disappeared without a trace, and there is no need to stay here. However, she still forced Shade to thank her in the open space, and then got on the flying carpet with him again.
When she took off, she saw the sword on the flying carpet, and she remembered what happened when she came:
“It seemed that your moonfire resonated with the power here, which led us here. However, I used your ring and your sword on the way here, and we disturbed a monster in the forest. It seemed that It’s the legendary ancient evil spirit. Although I was able to defeat it, it escaped.”
Remembering that George Kant mentioned in front of the old divine door that it had been seriously injured by another hunter in 1821, Shade only felt that everything had formed a closed loop. As for the escaped devil, don’t worry about it. Its ending was witnessed by Shade on the night of late autumn in 1854.
So what Shade needs to consider now is not the devil, the strange temple and the statue, or even the evil “Great Tree” that banished him to the narrow space of time with one move. What he was thinking about was how he could return to 1854.
