Chapter 2736 Ouija Board Tree Hole
Miss McConaughey was obviously not only good at using power related to emotions. After she returned to normal, she could clearly see that Shad was very interested in this magic. After all, this was the first secret magic that Shad encountered that consumed power based on a percentage.
"Are you interested in [Body of Courage]? The materials needed for this secret spell are very simple. Each time you cast the spell, you need 10 inches of your own hair. But learning this secret spell requires not only knowing cowardice and courage, but also the talent for physical transformation. And remember, you must not have any cowardly thoughts during the casting, otherwise you will immediately return to your original state and fall into a weak state.
While you are sailing away, I will write down for you how to learn this secret technique. Please don't be polite to me. This is my thanks to you."
Xia De did not refuse her kindness. After entering 1854, he always fought against enemies that were larger than him, but he did not want to transform into a Moonlight Dragon every time to fight the enemy.
His strength may not be inferior to those enemies, but a small body fighting a large body is still a disadvantage. If he can master this witch secret technique, at least if he faces a dead apostle again, even if the opponent prepares a flesh and blood body for battle, Shade will be able to win more smoothly.
With the "tears of despair", the next thing is the warmth of the soul. In line with the principle of "whoever does the work pays for the ticket", Mr. Nelson obviously needs to pay for the warmth of the soul this time.
But Ms. Bullock refused to cast the spell:
"To extract the warmth of a soul requires direct touch, and I don't want to touch a man."
But she didn't want to stop it:
"Aren't you the fire-wielding hero chosen by the Sisters? Can't you do it yourself?"
"I remember saying, my nun didn't teach me that."
Ms. Bullock certainly remembers this:
“Yes, yes, I really don’t know what your nun is thinking.
So let me teach you. For those who have mastered the first fire, this method is easy to master, just like you can run quickly after learning to walk. You have already learned the skills from your sister, so you should not mind learning from me, right? "
The teaching method of this 13th-level witch was quite simple. She raised her right hand to show it to Shade, then placed it on her chest. Two seconds later, she took her right hand away. The air in her palm turned light yellow and twisted, which represented the heat of the soul:
"Witch Secret Art - Inner Fire, this is the starting point of many secret arts of the Fire-wielding Sisters, representing the influence of fire on the outside world. My sister said that the starting point of this secret art originated from the earliest times. This secret art is quite useful, but it's a pity that no matter whose soul it is extracted from, the temperature can only act on the caster himself.
Well, I've shown you, and you can try it yourself."
Xia De was a little surprised:
"Wait, you just showed power, but what about teaching?"
Ms. Bullock was also surprised:
"Teaching? If you really have talent, wouldn't you be able to learn it after watching it once? In our time, this is how we judge the talent of witches."
As she spoke, she pulled Shade's right hand and pressed it on Shade's chest. As the spirit in the witch's body flowed, similar traces of secret arts appeared on Shade's right hand, who did not resist.
The First Fire seemed very willing to respond to this power, so after a few seconds Ms. Brock withdrew her hand, and Shad also took his hand away from his chest, and then saw a ball of jumping golden, warm light appear in his palm.
[Outsider, you have mastered the spell - Inner Fire. Extract the temperature of your own or other individuals' souls. This temperature can warm the soul, increase resistance to fire, increase resistance to curses, and increase resistance to instant death. Note that extracting the soul temperature of the same individual multiple times will cause serious damage to the soul.]
[Affected by the "Divine Afterglow" effect, you can share the extracted soul temperature with anyone. 】
"See, I said this kind of teaching is normal."
Ms. Bullock said, and Shade nodded slowly:
"I was thinking, how am I going to explain this to my nun when I get back? She looked a little angry last time. Why is the temperature of my soul golden?"
"Because your soul is strong and has been tainted with the power of the gods."
The knowledgeable thirteenth-level witch said, and then taught Shad to put the warm light back into his own body.
Obviously, this temperature was taken from himself, but when the temperature returned to normal, Xia De still felt a sudden shock in his spirit, and then he thought that this spell could be used to improve the efficiency of staying up late.
The next thing was very simple. Shade cast a spell to take out some of the temperature of Mr. Nelson's soul and sealed it in the card. Because Mr. Nelson was an ordinary person, he immediately said that he felt a little cold after casting the spell on him, but fortunately there was no other effect.
So the two men said goodbye to Ms. Block and Miss McConaughey, who was concentrating on writing materials on witch secrets for Shade. After handing the two cards to the boatman, the boat slowly carried them into the depths of the dark waters.
Although it was not his first time on a boat, Shade, sitting on the edge of the boat, still looked at the darkness around him with interest. Mr. Nelson covered his face and sat opposite him. When there was only a dim light on the beach with the bonfire, he asked Shade:
"Sir, even if you can persuade my wife not to leave, can she ever return to normal? I'm not worried about your power, but I'm worried that one day she will come here again on her own initiative."
Xia De, who was looking at the scenery, withdrew his gaze from the thick fog that suddenly appeared in front of him:
"So I need to make sure what kind of doomsday your wife saw. I still don't understand what she encountered, but I just hope it's not the worst."
After the boat entered the thick fog, the monotonous sound of water disappeared. The voyage in the fog was quite brief, and Shade was very curious. The previous two trips to "Death" and the Fifth Epoch's Vista Forest were both near water, so the boat could only appear reasonably, but the incident with the Nelson family did not happen by the river.
"And how can the boat get close? Or do we have to get off the boat and walk some distance?"
He soon understood. As the boat sailed out of the white fog, Mr. Nelson screamed. Even Shade half stood up in surprise, watching the boat sail out of the sea of stars, along the strange "river" of starlight in the air, and headed for a small apartment in the bustling city night scene illuminated by gas lamps below.
"Well, the Galaxy is also a river, that makes sense."
The appearance of cities in the Fifth Era is very similar to that in 1854 of the Sixth Era. The steam industry has become quite developed, with pipelines installed in every corner of the city. Even the skyline is dotted with steam factory chimneys and messy pipelines.
The difference is that even at night, witches can be seen flying in the sky on magic carpets or flying alone. There are more spellcasters in this era than in the next era. Of course, none of them can see the small boat that sailed out of the sea of stars.
The boat was much more stable when sailing in the air than on real water. Finally, it stopped outside the attic window of a small apartment, allowing the two people sitting at the stern to just see the scene inside the attic through the glass.
"This is my home."
Mr. Nelson explained in a low voice, then moved aside to allow Shad to get a better view. He knew that everything depended on Shad.
There was no light in the window, but soon the attic door was opened, and a middle-aged woman holding a huge Ouija board came up. She looked about the same age as Mr. Nelson, but probably because she always worked indoors and took good care of her skin, she looked much younger than Mr. Nelson.
She still didn't turn on the attic light, but placed the Ouija board under the moonlight coming from the window and sat directly on the floor.
Shad originally thought he would have to wait a while, but unexpectedly, almost in the next second, a large cloud of white mist suddenly emerged from the small window in the center of the wooden Ouija board - that was the decoration of the Ouija board, and then Mrs. Nelson disappeared without a trace.
"What does this mean? Why did she disappear?"
Mr. Nelson, who could not see the white fog, immediately asked Shade for advice. Shade asked the "boatman" in disbelief:
"Wait, if I understand correctly, the lady went to the finish line? And that piece of wood was a tree hole?!"
The boatman did not answer this question. After all, he was only responsible for transporting two people. In response to Shade's question, the god simply handed him the oar.
Xia De was stunned for a moment before he stood up and took the oar.
"Since you don't answer, I'll assume it is. But isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Such a thing actually appeared in the early Fifth Epoch?"
"Excuse me, what is it?"
Mr. Nelson still didn't understand.
"It's hard to explain. All I can say is that your wife is very lucky."
"lucky?"
"Since ancient times, few people who disappeared for this reason have been able to come back. And the place she went to, it is even more difficult for me to imagine how an ordinary person like her could come back. Let's go back first. You said, have you returned the Ouija board to the Prophet's Association?"
This was the first tree hole that Shade had encountered outside of the Vestal Forest. After he learned about the unreasonable existence of the "twisted tree hole" in the Vestal Forest, he asked the girls around him whether such a thing had appeared in major organizations. Luvia was of course among those asked, and the purple-eyed fortune-teller replied that the Prophet Association had no records of tree holes.
Considering the long time, Shade believed that the Ouija board was very likely to have disappeared in 1854 of the Sixth Era. But he also believed that the Prophet's Association was likely to know about the coming of the end of the world in the Fifth Era.
I just don't know if this is related to the fact that President Rhodes of the Sixth Era created the Rhodes Card system, attempting to use large-scale rituals such as the Rhodes Card to reweave and connect the elements of enlightenment to stabilize the material world.
