Chapter 2521: Filling Death

~10 min read 1,829 words

The two returned to the campfire, and the 13th-tier great witch was a little dazed for a moment:

"Regret, cowardice, and the warmth of the soul? Ha, this is really suitable for me."

"She is typically affected by the emotions of this beach and needs to rest for a while to recover."

Mr. Nelson said across the fire, and then took the initiative to offer help:

"I am just an ordinary person and don't understand the power of supernatural beings, but people who came here before you mostly threw away their personal belongings before walking onto the pier. Sometimes the tide also washes up some debris."

"I buried those things in this sand. If you need them, I can dig them all out. Maybe there is something that can help you."

"Let's talk about this later."

Xia De placed the three blank cards in front of the campfire, and the dancing flames left light and shadow on the cards:

"Ms. Brock, can you be responsible for the tears of regret? I can't think of how I can cry with regret for the time being. Well, looking at your expression, I know you can definitely be responsible. Do you have any means to separate sins?"

The witch shook her head, and Xia De was not disappointed:

"You are lucky. I have a friend who knows a lot about sins, so I can ask him for advice. If it doesn't work, I'll just go to a familiar 'mermaid' for help. She would definitely be willing to help me, but I don't want to do that... Do you know how to separate the warmth of the soul?"

Xia De asked again, and this time Ms. Brock nodded:

"I know. My sister, as a Nun of Fire, mastered many unique secret arts. Using her own soul temperature to cast fire spells is one of them. She once taught me these."

The 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 of the Sixth Era also continues to inherit such secret arts, but they have been modified into spells and miracles. During Xia De's "vacation" some time ago, when he went to the sacrificial site on the mountain peak, Sister Daelin showed him similar power.

For example, the spell - 【Inner Fire】, borrowing the temperature of the soul to significantly increase one's own fire resistance; the miracle - 【Burning Oath】, making an oath with others. Once violated, the soul temperature of the other party will be forcibly raised to the same level as the Nun of Fire, which basically means the soul is completely burned.

"That's good. The three items we need to pay are only the 【Cowardice】 sin that we can't get for the time being. I found that the 'Ferryman' didn't say what quality of sin, so that's easy to handle."

For some reason, bringing certain items or information from the Sixth Era to the time point indicated by the time key is the thing Xia De does most often, so he didn't feel it was difficult.

And Ms. Brock heard the clue:

"Are you leaving here?"

"I am leaving here temporarily."

Xia De corrected:

"I stumbled into this place by mistake, but I also have a way to leave. The time this time is relatively loose, and I will leave in about seven or eight minutes. When I come back next time, I will bring the method of separating sins and the items that can let you see your sister's soul."

"During this period, please don't just board the boat and leave. This Mr. Nelson is an ordinary person who can persist here for so long. I think you should be fine, right?"

The 13th-tier witch nodded:

"Since you are here to help me, I will not live up to your kindness. But since you still have time, do you have anything you need to ask me? This is what I promised."

Xia De thought for a while:

"Have you ever heard of my existence? A man who can also be approached by witches."

Ms. Brock shook her head:

"Never heard of it. I haven't even assumed that a man like you would exist."

So the demigod Chloe, who lived in an earlier era, should not have passed down Xia De's story:

"Do you know about the Time Tree Hole? It is a time tunnel connecting two different time points."

"I've heard similar rumors, but even the contemporary Time Great Witch treats it as a story."

He asked a few more questions about time, and even asked about the "Time Curse," but found that Ms. Brock didn't know either. Xia De was slightly disappointed, and then suddenly asked questions about the witch herself:

"I heard that the seat of the Great Witch of Death, no matter who sits on it, will age prematurely or have some psychological problems because they are too close to death. If you sit in this position, how will you solve it?"

The 13th-tier witch glanced at Mr. Nelson, who consciously moved aside again.

"I don't need to solve it myself. My sister helped me solve this problem before she died.

Death will make the soul of a living person hollow and cold, so we must find a way to fill the cold void. I don't have the qualification and talent to use the power of the First Fire, let alone the legendary 'Hero who bears the fire.' My sister has always regretted this, but at least I won't be ignited by the sparks of that ancient fire."

She reached her hand directly into the campfire in front of her, and her hand was indeed not hurt by the power of the First Fire:

"I don't know where you got the power of the First Fire, but if you want to help the Great Witch of Death solve this problem, Mr. from the future, you can also use this method."

Xia De smiled, probably because he asked too many questions about time just now:

"So what exactly do I need to do?"

If he could help Miss Winster, that would be great. Although that lady said that if Xia De established intimate relationships with too many witches, she would report him, but if he could help her solve this biggest trouble, Xia De believed that Flora Winster would eventually keep the secret.

"Two souls closely attached, heart to heart, and then kiss her with your greatest passion. In the resonance of the soul, warm her with your fire and the temperature of your soul. Doing this frequently for several years can basically guarantee that the soul is completely warmed by you... Don't look at me like that, we are sisters, isn't it normal for us to do this?"

The Outlander knew that everything in the Fifth Era was crazy. Now the method was indeed obtained, and it sounded reasonable, but the problem was that Xia De couldn't do this. If he could do this kind of thing, he wouldn't have to worry about being reported by that Great Witch of Death at all.

"Seeing you struggling now, I feel like you are a normal person."

The witch who reached out to touch the fire had a faint smile on her face:

"Is saying so much just for this sentence? Strange man, you want to persuade me to stay?"

"Since abandoning everything and never looking back is a mistake, why make the mistake?"

Xia De asked again, and the witch's peripheral vision caught the campfire enhanced by the First Fire, her expression softening somewhat:

"Only young people think this way. Sometimes, even if people know something is wrong, they must do it. Life is just this unreasonable... willing to listen to my story?"

This black beach and pier had strange powers. There was no need to eat here, although a small amount of drinking water was still needed, but there was boundless water not far away. Although the liquid was black, according to Mr. Nelson, the liquid would become transparent once it left the water area and could be drunk as ordinary water.

Therefore, Xia De didn't even need to leave too many survival supplies.

And taking advantage of the last few minutes, he and Ms. Brock dug out the things left by the people Mr. Nelson said had left by boat and the items washed up by the tide.

They finally found 5 relics, 3 alchemical items, and 13 ordinary items.

Among the ordinary items, 7 were pocket watches with photos inside. Xia De could probably guess what the original owners had experienced. And among the 5 relics, Xia De only recognized one 【Demon Hunting Seal】:

"Why do I feel like I can encounter this kind of relic everywhere?"

Because he didn't know what would happen in the next two times, these things might be useful. Xia De hoped that Ms. Brock could figure out the specific characteristics of the five relics before he came back next time, and then asked Mr. Nelson:

"If Ms. Brock stays here and doesn't leave, will it cause no one else to appear here?"

The middle-aged man shook his head immediately:

"Of course not. No one stipulates that only one person can exist at a time. Look, didn't I not leave either? But people still arrive one after another."

"That's good. During my absence, if anyone else can come here, I hope you can talk to them and try to see if you can keep some of them."

Mr. Nelson and Ms. Brock didn't ask Xia De why he wanted to do this, but they both nodded and agreed.

And after doing this, the thirty minutes this time had reached the end. This time adventure seemed very calm, and most of the time was spent talking. But Xia De didn't think this mission would be simpler than finding the "Heart of the Oasis" last time. He even subconsciously felt that this black beach was far more dangerous than the "Gravel Gold Sand Sea."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Nelson and Ms. Brock, Xia De finally boarded the pier and found the ferryman for the third time:

"To the future, to the past. Which of these two is more expensive? Both are in the Fifth Era."

"Returning to the past is cheaper."

"Then if I want to go to after 903 in the Fifth Era to see a demigod witch named Chloe Marcus Marquez, what kind of reward do I need to pay?"

Miss Feilian in the middle of the Fifth Era and Miss Violet in the late period were both in the "future."

"A soul completely frozen by the cold inside. I don't need a soul, but that cold will be very interesting."

The ferryman replied, and Xia De nodded:

"Okay, then see you next time."

As he said this, his figure disappeared directly on the pier, and because of this, he failed to hear the "Ferryman's" answer:

"See you next time, Outlander Ferryman." ===== CHAPTER 2522 =====

"See you next time, ferryman from a foreign land."
