Whispering Verse

"Do a simple thing for me."

The lake surface that had been frozen because of Shade's return from the snow-capped mountains slowly melted away. The swaying lake water pushed the ice floe and a small pink bottle to the edge of the fire on the shore. The bottle looked like an extremely high-end perfume bottle that would only appear on the dressing table of aristocratic ladies.

The bottle is shaped like a heart, and the stopper is the same frosted material that looks like glass.

That's the size of a high-end perfume bottle, which means it can be completely held in one hand. The bottle is empty now, without any liquid.

"The island in the middle of the lake is about to become a stage for people with insatiable desires. What is about to be staged is a great drama intertwined with many desires."

The beautiful head did not urge Shade to pick up the small pink bottle, but smiled and explained:

"Take this bottle to the island to witness people's crazy and greedy desires, and to catalyze those desires to climax. This small bottle can transform desires into high-grade essential oils. Taking it to the island allows me to Taste this rarely seen intertwined desire... The essential oil brewed by desire can not only increase your own charm, but can even restore your spirit after drinking it."

Shade frowned slightly. At least in the current era, there are almost no ways to restore the spirit through external force. After all, the so-called "spirit", "mana" and "ether" are not pure energy, but information, energy and elements. It is the ability of the ring warlock. The sum total of everything in the world of understanding is one of the manifestations of the mind's interference with matter. Even if it is holy water, except for No. 1 and No. 2, the effect of restoring the spirit is not particularly obvious.

"I won't use your essential oils."

He said, with a smile on the beautiful woman's face:

"I didn't let you use it either. When you return to this shore, you can return it to me."

The whispering elements on the bottle are no less than those of ordinary relics, but Shade has never found information on [Desire] from any source, so he doesn't know if this is a derivative of the relic.

The existence information of [Desire] itself is an extremely terrifying polluting force. Regardless of whether it is a church, a college, or an organization such as the Light Guiding Monastery or the Spiritual Order, they will not easily open the information to anyone. Even though Shade almost had the highest reputation and favor with Sister Devlin, she still refused to talk more about [Desire] with Shade.

"I can take it to the island, but I won't catalyze any desires."

Shade emphasized again, and the beautiful woman's head revealed a just right smile:

"Okay. You know, you are actually very suitable for my power. The fact that you 'tasted' me for the first time and gained the power of sin is enough to prove this."

Shade immediately shook his head, not even willing to refute. The woman's head then joked:

"If you want to deny this, then throw away the lipstick-stained ice cube in your hand. If you do, I can take my words back."

The cold and dark lake water continued to ripple on the shore. Even if Iluna was hiding behind Shade at this time, she could fully imagine the expression on her face.

Shade held the ice crystal in his hand tightly and still refused to dwell on this topic:

"Since I promised to help you, can you stop blocking other people who want to land on the island?"

With a sweet laugh, she whispered:

"Of course I want you to realize your wish, but I want to accompany you to the island in the middle of the lake."

In other words, when Shade and Iluna walk through the water, [Desire] will always be at their feet. Just thinking about this terrifying and weird thing swimming in the deep water under his feet, Shade shuddered a little, but he still agreed. He knew that at least this time, [Desire] would not attack him:

"I'll go with you, but let Iluna leave first."

He said in a deep voice, and the laughter that followed contained just the right amount of ridicule. But even if it is ridicule, the voice is still so charming:

"Don't worry, I'm not very interested in the girl behind you. This is not only because she is the chosen one, but also because..."

Shade and Iluna, who quietly stretched out their heads from behind Shade, looked at the smiling woman's head on the dark water:

"She is really, really simple."

Iluna Emilia Bayas admitted that, at least for this moment, her irritation outweighed even her wonderful physical desires.

There wasn't much luggage to pack. After extinguishing the bonfire, Shade picked up the pink vial and let Iluna continue to hold the [Night Watch] that exuded silver light and helped her turn over and climb onto the horse.

"let's go."

He held the reins and used the spell "water walking" to set foot on the terrifying Pantanal Lake in the heavy snow, which was shaking but calm on the surface.

The yellow orb floated above his head to illuminate him, breaking through the darkness of the lake. The knight leading the horse walked in front, and the weak girl lay on the horse. And in the background of the heavy snow, the voice on the lake is singing softly:

"The princess in the castle will not understand that freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue."

"When you meet a witch at a intersection full of lavender, where are you going to pick that handful of herbs?"

Desire hummed softly the songs of the witches, accompanying the knight and the girl as they moved forward.

The wind and snow blurred their backs, and everything around them was dark and cold. Under the yellow moonlight, they looked like the only actors on the stage illuminated by the lights. However, this scene, which looked like a cold-toned oil painting, was actually the knight and the girl being coerced by the devil to move forward.

Every step Shade took would leave spreading ripples on the dark water, and the beautiful woman's head just followed them in parallel. Although she was worried about "Desire" in her heart, Xia De had to admit that her singing was really nice.

In the sound of this song, Shade and Iluna, holding the reins, actually crossed the calm lake safely.

When he and the skeleton horse landed on the foggy island in the middle of the lake, the woman's head said goodbye to them on the shore:

"Looking forward to your performance, interesting soul."

The head stared at Shade while slowly submerging under the water, but the voice was still extremely clear in the wind and snow:

"On the stage where desires are intertwined, what kind of performance will you have in the audience?"

She disappeared, leaving only a huge and strange black shadow flashing under the water. The sound of her huge tail slapping the water was really like the sound made by the legendary mermaid.

Neither Shade nor Iluna wanted to recall what they saw. Shade held the reins and stood on the shore for a while, then suddenly sighed through his nose. The heat in his body caused white smoke to flow from his nose. It squirted out, but quickly disappeared.

After all, this is not the first time I have seen [Desire], and the "Wise Man's Blessing" obtained on the island in the middle of the Lost Lake is indeed very effective against negative mental states. Shade turned around to check on Iluna's condition, but as soon as he turned around, he felt his lips kiss something soft.

Raising her eyebrows in surprise, she realized that it was Iluna who was lying on the horse with a blanket wrapped around her. She hugged the skeleton horse's neck and kissed Shade who was standing in front of the horse.

The kiss only lasted for two seconds and then stopped. The seventeen-year-old girl jumped off the horse with a red face and covered her mouth:

"I, I...is that [desire]? It's indeed terrifying. Even if I have the power of the chosen one, I can't resist her influence."

His flushed face deliberately turned to one side, not looking into Shade's eyes. He lowered his head and kicked the stones from the shore into the lake:

"Don't tell Luvia about the kiss just now...I know your relationship...it was just an accident."

[Desire is right, she is indeed very simple. 】

"She" said with a smile in Shade's ear, Shade made no comment.

There are many rumors about the island in the middle of the lake in the Pantanal, and most of those rumors involve weird legends and horror stories. Even ordinary people have heard rumors about the "no-man's land" deep in the Everglades.

The core of the seal of Pantanal's evil things is on this island, making the whispering element on the island in the middle of the lake even stronger than in the swamp. The spiritual pollution of evil things has begun to affect every person who lands on the island. The whispers from the bottom of their hearts and the decaying earth under the snow remind them of the most terrifying enemy tonight.

The edges of the Pantanal were overgrown with vines, and the snowstorm was a bit weaker. After arriving on the island, the snowstorm became weaker. The snowflakes are still as big as goose feathers, but the wind has become much lighter. Starting from the shore, the ground is covered with gravel and gravel that have been beaten over and over again by the lake water. Going deeper, there are no footprints on the ground covered with white snow.

Before landing on the island, the island in the middle of the Everglades Lake in the middle of the night was wrapped in a thick milky fog, and nothing could be seen except the fire at the top of the lighthouse. But when they really entered the interior of the island in the middle of the lake, they found that the fog was not as big as expected. At least Shade and Iluna's field of vision could extend to an area thirty meters away in the snowy night.

They did not set off from the shore immediately, but made some preparations first.

Miss Chloe's teardrop ice crystal was collected by Shade using [Toy Making]. After all, it is just a piece of ice. If it is not kept in the form of a toy, it will melt sooner or later. But after this incident, we can use alchemical methods to deal with it so that the ice can exist for a long time.

Now that he has landed on the island, the [Source of Chaos], which can only guide directions in complex terrain and cannot help find objects, has also been put away by Sha De.

Iluna handed the [Night Watch] back to Shade, and she took out her [Judge's Holy Bell]. Instead of canceling the summons for the skeleton horse, but allowing it to continue to exist, Iluna asked Shade, who was preparing the casting materials:

"No one came to stop us... Do you think we were the first to land on the island?"

"Probably not."

Shade put his hand on his chest:

"But Miss Carina and the others haven't arrived yet, and my badge is not heating up."

Iluna nodded:

"I have read the church's information. The area of ​​this island is about 1.2 times the area of ​​the block from Saint Teresa Square to Jodel Palace. There is still some way to go."

"Just now, in order to prevent accidents while crossing the water, I chose the shortest path, so we landed from the southwest of the island, and the lighthouse is in the northeast of the island."

He looked up at the ray of fire deep in the thick fog. Iluna could not see the light of the first fire:

"It's early Thursday morning, 00:07, and we still have about an hour and a half."

"Um."

Iluna nodded and looked at Shade's profile. The drifting snow crossed the side of his face, and he was still so "dazzling" in the lightless night, as if he had always attracted her attention.

She saw Shade rechecking the bullets in the magazine, hanging the small hand crossbow on his waist, and hanging the slender arrows in the quiver specially sewn on the inside of the coat. There was a solemn expression on his face that he had never seen before. The quiet night did not mean that tonight was safer than the Battle of Fort Midhill in the autumn.

On the contrary, no one knows what kind of story will happen on this snowstorm night in the swamp far away from human civilization.
