13. The Witch Lena and the Calling Bell(1/2)
Luye and Adie approached Airey Church.
Just as he was about to enter from the front, Icarus's voice suddenly sounded.
"Master, there is...an extra person in the church."
"One more person?"
"Yes... Preliminary judgment shows that the other party is a woman. I couldn't see clearly how she appeared. According to my guess, some kind of teleportation device was used and she just appeared on the ruins of the church."
"Did it just appear out of thin air... Did the other party make any moves?"
While Lu Ye was talking to Ikaros through the chain, he motioned for Ah Tai to stop.
"No, I'm just sitting over there, some distance away from Violet and Miss Esdeath."
Even so, Lu Ye's heart still became slightly nervous.
Because the heartbeat detector showed that there were only five human-like heartbeats around Airey Church.
Isn't the other person a human being?
After thinking about it, Lu Ye asked Icarus to prepare the missiles and then entered the Airey Church with A'Die.
As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to attack, then anything can be said.
On a broken wall on the left side of the dilapidated Airey Church, there is a woman sitting with a dignified posture.
She was wearing a snow-white robe, with a large muffler made of soft gray feathers outside the robe, and on her head was a large magic hat like the witch in the fairy tale. It was also white, covering the woman's face.
At least she can't see her true face from this angle.
At the end of the church, Caleb was leaning against a pillar and snoring. Violet and Esdeath were still sleeping soundly. None of the three of them noticed the arrival of this strange woman, and they were sleeping soundly.
Lu Ye felt a little strange.
The place where he fought with the big tree guards just now was not very far away, so Icarus's cannonball should have alarmed a few people.
It was as if he had read Lu Ye's thoughts.
The woman in white robe sitting on the ruins spoke.
Her voice was clear and mysterious, like a deep well.
"Don't worry, I used a barrier to isolate the church from the outside world. After all, there is such a cute little girl sleeping here. It would be bad if it disturbed her sleep."
"Enchantment……"
Lu Ye raised his head, and just in time a white eagle flew over his head from a low place.
It was obviously so quiet, except for the sound of people, there was only the night of the burning bonfire, but Lu Ye could not hear the sound of Bai Ying flapping his wings and flying.
I see. Is that why the missile hitting the guard on the big tree was not noticed?
"What you just said doesn't seem to be in the category of 'gravite magic'... Although you also know some meteorite-type gravity magic, you don't have a magic wand, and the magic power on your body is not very strong. It really makes me curious for a long time.
We talked a lot." The woman said, "Anyway, can you come over and have a few words?"
"Excuse me, are you...?" Lu Ye walked closer and said.
As far as the woman's current situation is concerned, she is not as aggressive as the previous big tree guard.
It seems that we can still communicate well.
Although I don't completely believe her, with the help of Teigu and Ikaros, there will be no problem.
When he walked in, he saw her face.
At the same time, he also confirmed that the thing in front of him was not a human being.
Her face is beautiful, as delicate as a porcelain doll, but her skin is a light blue-purple color. Her right eye is closed, and her left eye is emitting a faint blue light. The arms stretched out from under the gray muzzle are also blue-purple, but
There are four in total.
The fingers of the two upper arms are touching each other, while the two lower arms are placed neatly on the knees. The joints of each arm are sewn together with something.
Combined with the fact that there is no heartbeat, Lu Ye can basically confirm that the uninvited guest dressed like a witch in front of him is, at least physically, an exquisite doll.
"This is the first time we meet, I am the witch Rena." The woman said softly, "I heard that there are faded people riding spiritual horses nearby, so I spent some time looking for it..." As she said that, she turned her attention to A'Die,
"The faded one, it seems you are the one."
"I'm right...but I just got this horse not long ago, how did you know about it?"
"I have my spies operating in Nimgefu. Anyway, that spiritual horse named Toret... you can summon it, right?"
"right."
Ah Diao said, showing the spirit horse whistle.
"Well, that's a good answer. I have something to pass on to you. It was entrusted to me by Torrett's former owner."
With that said, Reina took out a small hanging bell and a rough round object with a wild wolf printed on it, and handed them out.
"This item is called a soul-calling bell, and this round thing is made of ashes." Reina explained.
"Bone, ashes?"
Ah Tui looked at the thing in his hand and was a little dumbfounded.
This round thing is ashes? It feels really subtle to the touch, like urine and sand, the sand is brought together... Ugh, it's so disgusting!
The thought of touching the ashes of a dead person before he was killed made Ah Di feel a little uncomfortable.
But looking at the pattern of wild wolves printed on it, Lu Ye asked Ah Di to relax.
"These are not human ashes, they should be those of wild wolves."
"good."
Lena nodded.
"The soul summoning bell can summon souls that have not returned to the golden tree through the ashes as a medium. The summoned soul ashes temporarily recognize you as their master, reproduce their fighting postures in life, and cooperate with you to fight..."
"But, why should you give it to me?"
"Because Toret now recognizes you as its master... Although I can't see any special qualities in you, you will be chosen by Toret. I'm afraid it also has its own ideas. Hey, use it as you wish."
"Oh, thank you."
"Faded ones, and travelers who come from nowhere. I'm sorry to disturb you. I don't think we will see each other again. Let's slowly taste the taste of the junction where the magic circle has been broken."
As she spoke, a playful smile appeared on her face.
"I'm very curious, how long will you faded ones obey Two Fingers?"
After saying that, without giving Lu Ye and Ah Di a chance to talk, Reina's body turned into little stars and disappeared with the wind.
As Lena left, Luye could hear the sound of wind coming from outside the church, the sound of grass swaying due to the wind, and the cry of sheep in the distance.
After taking a look at the soul-calling bell and the ashes of the wild wolf, Lu Ye and Ah Tui looked at each other.
Leaving such a thing behind and running away,
That witch... is the relationship here to deliver food?
…
The next day.
East of Airey Church.
"Well, this should be the right place." Lu Ye said after looking at the map.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a large, cold lake.
Although it is called a lake, the water is shallow enough, just enough to cover the ankles.
But in terms of scenery alone, it is still very good.
There are many dead trees on the lake, giving people a bleak and sad feeling. There is also a ruin on the south side of the lake, which adds to this impression.
This is Yakir Lake.
He came here this time to help Ah Tui test the "soul-calling bell".
Because A'Dai's combat effectiveness is not strong, if the soul-calling bell and ashes can work, then A'Dai's safety factor will be much higher in the subsequent battles.
Therefore, Lu Ye postponed his trip to Stonewell City and planned to spend an hour to test these two items, which could be regarded as helping Ah Dia get familiar with how to use this thing.
Of course, it also has security.
Lu Ye has already identified it.
[Item: Soul-Calling Bell]
[Explanation: Consumption of concentration points can summon various soul rattles from different ashes.]
[Ashes: The ashes of stray wolves]
[Explanation: The ashes of souls reside there, the souls of wild wolves who were kicked out of the group. The souls of 3 stray wolves can be summoned. It is said that they move quickly and can interfere with the enemy, which will help the battle situation. 】
According to the information received from the big tree guard last night, Luye knew that there were many large crabs in this lake, and there were also many large vampire bats around.
It is said that these two creatures are quite ferocious.
