Chapter 3346: The Eternal Sleep Scripture
Theresa's problem was the most troublesome. If it was not handled immediately, other parts of her soul might also be affected. After Xia De tried to use the holy water he brought to wash her arm and saw that the black runes still did not disappear, he had to ask Sister Belen:
"Can fire purify these curses?"
The sister at the table nodded lightly:
"Yes, but I can't do it in my current state."
Sister Belen's problem was the influence of the evil thing's power, and the initial fire in her body was suppressed to the point of silence. In fact, after coming to this world, she was not in a perfect state to begin with. Xia De knew that she could not pull out the 【Ashes】 greatsword temporarily when he came the first time.
To solve Theresa's problem, one could only solve the sister's problem first. And the sister's problem was actually very easy to solve. The primordial fire could theoretically burn anything, but most things did not have enough power to turn into firewood to enhance the power of the primordial fire.
Although the fire in the sister's body was suppressed, as long as a method was found to release it again, it could directly burn away the power left by the evil thing. Although she could not do it herself now, the primordial fire in Xia De's body was not only complete but also unusually vigorous.
He moved a chair and sat beside Sister Belen, and while grabbing her left hand, he did not forget to say:
"The sister from the future asked me to bring a message to her: the sword, the fire, and the eye patch—we have inherited them well."
Sister Belen nodded lightly, and then "saw" the fire appear from Xia De's palm, and then continuously entered her body through her arm.
Although it was fire from different eras, because they were all 【Primordial Fire】, Xia De's fire did not have an exclusion reaction when entering her body and soul.
The effect produced by the fusion of fire and fire was far beyond Xia De's expectations. This fusion was two-way. It not only allowed Sister Belen to "glimpse" the unusual completeness of the primordial fire of the future but also allowed Xia De to obtain some knowledge about "Primordial Fire" that had been scattered into sparks due to the change of eras in the resonance of fire.
This knowledge was like heavy ashes deposited at the bottom of the furnace, just obtained by him but not re-understood. But it didn't matter at all; the knowledge incorporated into the Outsider's soul would never leave, because he himself was a library.
The reignition of the fire not only burned away the power of the evil thing but even unexpectedly allowed the fire that had problems in Sister Belen's body to fully recover to its peak state. Even Xia De didn't know he could do this to such an extent.
Such "treatment" did not last long, but it consumed a large amount of fire in Xia De's body. So after the silent fire in the sister's body reignited, the fire-holding sister shared a part of the fire she possessed back to Xia De, and Xia De hurriedly returned that fire back.
So in the process of consumption-acquisition-consumption-acquisition of fire, although Xia De lost a large amount of spirit, he felt that after the fire in his body reignited, the fire... seemed to have become much heavier.
Sister Belen went to treat Theresa's left arm after the meal, while Xia De continued to check on Miss Violet. The puppet she was using now was no different from a real living body, so it could be treated completely as a living person during treatment.
Xia De had a lot of experience with fainting after exhaustion. The sleep after fighting the demon last Friday was for the same reason. This situation could actually be woken up after taking some magic potions or simple treatment, but the girls wanted Xia De to rest, so they didn't force him to wake up on Friday.
If it weren't for the tight time, Xia De would also want Miss Violet to have a good rest, but unfortunately, even with 120 minutes this time, it was still not enough.
After apologizing softly, Xia De helped the girl on the small bed sit up, first fed her the magic potion he carried with him, and then used the sorcery 【Chloe's Ice Echo】. Snowflakes drifted in the room. Although this sorcery had always been used by Xia De as a combat power, it could actually restore the physical strength of partners around after being activated.
The girl he was helping sit up soon opened her eyes in a daze and woke up. After seeing clearly that it was Xia De nearby, she asked softly:
"Is this a dream now?"
Then she kissed Xia De lightly.
The girl wearing glasses sitting on the side of the fireplace being treated by the sister was certain that her aunt was completely awake before opening her eyes. Her aunt had walked all the way from an ordinary girl with no background to her current status, and it was not just luck... She even suspected whether her aunt's "fainting from exhaustion" was also part of the plan.
But this time she thought too much.
Although Little Mia had eaten breakfast at home just now, it didn't mind having another portion, but because it disliked Xia De's craftsmanship, it didn't eat much. After Miss Violet woke up, she also simply ate some food. She was more knowledgeable than anyone present, and her understanding of the "Swollen Lady" was also deeper:
"The hound said the gravedigger is a Chosen One of God. In fact, the Swollen Lady is also a Chosen One of God. The Ancient God controls this kingdom of the dead, and the Swollen Lady was granted part of the power to influence this world. It is normal that we couldn't beat it."
"I saw that the essence of its power also originated from that first Death God. When I said it was born in the early Mythological Era during the battle, didn't it smile and say 'I died in the first death, and was born at the beginning of the flow of time'? This reminded me of the secret news that the previous generation of Knowledge Great Witch once said."
She hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether she should tell those stories, and finally decided to reveal a part:
"That is the story about the first dead. The so-called first does not refer to the first dead in the true world, but the first batch of dead at the beginning of the world... The Ancient God 【God of Drowning in the Deep Sea】 in the rumors appeared at that time. And the Swollen Lady is likely the dead at that time."
In order to prevent the ancient secrets from causing mental impact on everyone, Miss Violet spoke quite cautiously. But even so, Miss Liard still covered her forehead, and blood seeped from her eyes, mouth, and nose. Theresa, whose left hand had just regained consciousness, felt a sudden faint, but before she saw an endless yellow ocean in the hallucination, she was pulled back by Sister Belen's fire.
The sister and Xia De were fine:
"If this is true, then the evil thing might know the secret of the beginning of the world?"
"Yes, but there are many evil things born in the early Mythological Era, and this one is not particularly dangerous. If it weren't in the 【Tombstone Wasteland】 but in the real world, even if we couldn't beat it, we wouldn't be so embarrassed. This is the home field of the other party."
Even a demigod witch is still cautious about this kind of thing. In the current era, there is no "demigod blessed by gods." Just as Theresa said, even if her true body were here, she couldn't beat that thing:
"However, its weakness is also very obvious. No matter how strong it is, its true body is still a rotting corpse. Although the Giant King is also a corpse, its power source is bloodline and the skills honed by itself. The power essence of the Swollen Lady is undead, and any power against the undead can exert a very good effect on it."
The girls' injuries were all treated. After eating, it was almost time to set off for the end of this trip, which was the passage to the world of the living.
The 13 burial items were placed in the box at the end of the bed. After waiting for a moment and opening it, it was empty inside. But including the two hounds lying in front of the fireplace, all the souls in the gravedigger's hut at this moment knew the location of the "end."
"It seems the journey is not short."
Miss Violet said, and Xia De nodded, estimating whether his time was enough to deal with emergencies on the journey:
"Prepare a little, and we will set off in fifteen minutes. If there are no accidents, we won't come back after leaving here this time."
Miss Liard and Theresa started to pack the things in the hut to prepare for evacuation. They decided to leave some spare supplies in the house, on the one hand to prevent the group from retreating back, and on the other hand to give some hope of survival to possible unlucky latecomers.
The sister and Miss Violet, who looked sixteen, both seized the time to recover their state. Once they left this hut, it would be difficult to have rest time next. Xia De didn't need to recover, but he thought of another thing when looking at this house:
"The hound said last time that this place belongs to the fourth angel of the Ancient God, 'Angel of Requiem.' After I went back, I asked a friend about the story of this angel. The friend suggested that I should read the sentences in a scripture left by that angel in this hut where the angel once lived (Chapter 3311)."
Xia De coughed, imitating the way Priest Augustus used sound to vibrate spirit and elements at that time, and said quite clearly:
"【What the dead need is not just rest as precise as clockwork gears; they also crave mercy.】"
As the sound fell, a large piece of white light suddenly appeared above the hut. Everyone immediately retreated toward the wall, but only three beautiful white feathers drifted down quietly in that light.
After the feathers with strong miracle elements fell on the table below, the light disappeared immediately. Little Mia was originally squatting on the table, so it immediately leaned close to sniff the feathers, and then judged that this was not food.
Just as Xia De was also approaching the feathers, a bang~ sound in the corner startled him.
"It's the sound from the box."
The hound, who had already stood up from in front of the fireplace, immediately reminded. Miss Violet wanted to walk over, but was immediately stopped by Xia De:
"I'll go."
He carefully lifted the box, and inside was an extra thick, wrinkled leather book. Not only were the cover and back cover leather products, but any page inside was also a leather product.
The letters spelled out by the black skeleton pattern on the cover were the title of the book. Xia De successfully translated the text of the Second Era:
"【The Eternal Sleep Scripture】."
