Chapter 2961 [Tears of Farewell]
Blood dripped into the ink, and the brush wrote the stranger's real name in Chinese characters on the paper. The familiar name illuminated by the tree canopy above made Xia De stunned for a second, and then he realized that this was the first time he had written this name with this body since he came to this world for so long.
He shook his head to cheer himself up, then folded the paper with his name written on it into the shape of a star and pressed it against his forehead. He then burned it to ashes, dissolved the ashes in the potion and drank it. He closed his eyes and meditated on his own appearance in his mind. Perhaps because he had already done it once, the ritual went more smoothly this time than the last time.
Almost the next second after Xia De closed his eyes, "she" gently gave a reminder:
[Outlander, your magic "Treasures" has added a second name that can be effective. ]
There were no other effects, but Shade did not investigate immediately. He took out his Rhodes deck again and drew the top common card "Moon 2".
First, I wiped off the name Qianqian had written on it, and then wrote the real name of my hometown on it. Finally, I wrote the message I wanted to convey on the blank space of the card. Fortunately, ordinary playing cards don't have fancy faces, and the blank space on the card is large, so I can write it.
After doing all this and feeling it carefully, it seems that there is not much difference in the control effect of the item after signing two different names.
Shade kissed the card, then raised his hand and threw it towards the entrance of the building. The spinning card flew straight out, and Shade closed his eyes to control its flight trajectory. When he opened his eyes, he was sure that the card had reached its destination.
"that's it."
So he continued to hold on to the "trunk" and looked at the glowing crack in front of him. He felt that something was watching him from behind the crack. This feeling of being watched was very slight, but it was definitely not an illusion.
The church and the academy responded quickly. Ten minutes after Shade sent the message with the card, he heard heavy footsteps. He thought someone was coming, but when he turned around, he saw a suit of armor with extremely complex golden ritual patterns on the surface walking in.
Shade had never seen such a complex divine brand, and the complexity of this ritual even exceeded the rituals collected by the Church of the Dawn to balance the stability of time. But even so, the armor was still emitting particles all over its body when it walked.
It finally took only two steps in the dark building before collapsing to the ground with a crash. Immediately, the metal all over its body quickly corroded into an unrecognizable pile.
Shade, holding the staff, waved his left hand, and the card he had just sent flew out from the rusty metal wreckage. However, even with Shade's signature, the card had now turned yellow and was unusable.
The pencil marks written by Shade just now have been erased, and now there is new content written in Vanessa's handwriting:
[We have received your report. The church is preparing to dispatch an Unknown-level relic for assistance. The relic is expected to arrive in two hours. The church and the academy are also looking for ways to communicate with you at any time.]
On the back was painted the small communication symbol that Shad had discussed with her when she left the camp just now - an owl, to prove that the words were indeed written by Vanessa.
"Two hours?"
He rewrote the words on the yellowed card and sent it off, then had a feeling that he would probably miss dinner.
Xia De originally thought that he had gradually adapted to the doomsday environment, and with the protection of the magic effect, he should be able to hold out for a long time in front of this crack, but the fact is that as time goes by, the discomfort is becoming more and more intense.
The environment before the crack is certainly not enough to be compared with the real doomsday, but even without the wind and sand, the power leaking from the crack is the real end of the world.
The flow of spirit in the soul gradually became sticky, and the dizziness even directly affected the stability of the magic, but fortunately, the [Staff of Yggdrasil] was worthy of being an angel-level relic. In the dizziness and nausea, Shad even missed the real doomsday in the past. After all, no matter how bad his condition was there, there would always be that blonde lady waiting for him.
[Adele Isabella will be here tomorrow. Actually, there are people waiting for you here. ]
"She" said with a smile, and Xia De complained a little:
"Don't make fun of me at a time like this."
There was a clear cracking sound, and the originally long crack extended upwards to about half a palm's length. The feeling of doomsday became even clearer and more obvious. Even the shadow of the lush green tree that appeared due to the magic shook a few times. Xia De clearly felt that something was wrong.
"How did the Witch Emperor deal with this crack back then? Was the crack back then much shorter than this?"
[Perhaps, you can find something to temporarily seal the crack. ]
“She” went on to offer advice.
"But what's there to block? Any material that existed before the apocalypse will be destroyed by the power of the apocalypse, unless I go home and tear down a few bricks that can last until the apocalypse. Wait, besides the bricks and floor tiles of St. Teresa's Square, I seem to have something else."
Xia De reached into his pocket with his left hand again and took out a stack of cards. However, this time, it was not the Rhodes Cards, but the Disaster Cards. Although he did not obtain any new cards in the Doomsday Journey not long ago, he had already obtained six cards in the previous six adventures.
The essence of these cards is actually the sealed horrible evil creatures from the doomsday era. It was only because of the effect of the [Staff of Yggdrasil] and the power of the Tree Father that they turned into cards after being defeated by Shad.
Therefore, they will definitely not be affected by the power of doomsday, because they originally belong to doomsday. Even if Xia De held them in the real doomsday, nothing would happen, not to mention that it is only a little power now.
Of course, in order to prevent other accidents, such as the cards falling to the other side of the gap or the evil things inside the cards being released directly, Xia De signed his name and felt it before letting the six cards fly out of his hand and "stick" to the long and narrow crack.
Although they were not enough to completely "block" the crack, after the dim yellow light at the other end of the crack weakened, Shade still felt that his condition had improved a lot:
"So the purpose of the Black Time Key is to collect as many monsters from the apocalypse as possible, and then use these controllable card evil creatures as roadblocks to block the passage between the present world and the apocalypse?"
He even had the mind to think about it.
The note from Vanessa said that the church would need two hours to prepare for the strict storage of the relics from the Holy See. But in fact, Shade only waited for an hour and a half, and the yellowed and damaged Rhodes card was brought in by a new armor. This time, the content on it was very simple:
[The relic is already in place. Currently, only Iluna Beias can approach your location. Please reply with your current status. If the status allows, the church will start transporting the relic five minutes after receiving the reply.]
So the cards flew out again, and Iluna walked for a full twenty minutes from the camp at the entrance of the canyon to the black stone building.
When Shad saw the eighteen-year-old girl, she was holding her scales in one hand and a wooden box in the other, and she was struggling to walk out of the darkness of the building's doorway.
Iluna's face was pale, and it was obvious that she was in a bad condition. But she looked up at Shade, gritted her teeth, and continued to move forward step by step. The light overflowing from the dark golden scale almost formed a transparent protective shell around her body.
Shade could not leave the crack in front of the platform to greet her, and could only watch her slowly approach. When Iluna finally walked under the illusory tree shadow created by the "Ancient Elves' Stability Principle", she almost fell into Shade's arms because the pressure suddenly eased:
"Sorry, I'm late."
The two did not exchange too many pleasantries. Iluna sat down at Shade's feet without caring about her image and rested. She handed the box in her hand to Shade:
"Try this. This is the first time I know about this relic. It is a collection of the Peace Church. It is an unknowable relic [Tears of the Farewell], which is specially used to mend those broken things. Legend has it that this is a tear shed by a god, but I didn't see more information because it was unnecessary.
When I got it, I was just told not to get it in my eyes and to use it by throwing it directly on cracked or split things.”
She said this in a weak voice, and even leaned directly on Xia De's legs after she finished speaking, and she didn't even have the strength to sit up straight.
Although Shade was worried about Iluna's condition, he also knew that it was most important to control the rift first:
"What if this doesn't work? If the Unknowable-level relic can close this rift, there's no reason for the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era not to try."
"We can only give it a try. The opinion of the church and the academy is that this relic can at least shrink the cracks you described and restore them to a state that can be contained. Although the gate of this building is damaged, it should be repairable."
The red silk lining inside the mahogany box contains a thumb-sized crystal bottle. Although the crystal bottle is in the shape of a bottle, it does not have a real bottle mouth. In other words, there are no gaps or joints on the surface of the crystal.
The surface of the crystal reflected emerald green light, and Shade couldn't see clearly what color the liquid inside was, but after taking it out of the box, the powerful whispering element could be immediately sensed.
However, compared with the power from doomsday leaking out of the crack in front of him, even the power of the unknowable relic did not seem that strong.
