Whispering Verse

"That door, I remember"

[Yes, when I passed by just now, the door was closed. 】

The letter in my hand didn't have an envelope, just a simple folded piece of paper. After opening it, I saw letters that looked like chicken claws scratching at random, as if this letter was picked out randomly by little Mia's claws.

Not only is it messy, but each letter is very large. One line of letters takes up three lines of the letter paper, but this letter is indeed addressed to Shade——

[To those favored by the God of Toys:

I challenge you to enter that room and through my puppetry, I will free you and your companions. Otherwise, they will become dolls forever. 】

Although the language is in Kasenlik, there are many errors in grammar and spelling. There is no name at the signature, but a red mark similar to that of a puppet's palm, and the marks of the puppet's knuckles are clearly visible.

"The one favored by the God of Toys."

The old god [Creator of Innocence] is also known as the God of Toys, and Shade not only gained divinity from that god, but even temporarily kept his "artifact" and fought against another evil god. With his help, it is not surprising that Shade is considered the "favorite" of that god.

"Did it attack Miss Benenice and the others?"

Shade vaguely understood, but it was a bit incredible to think that the witch would be trapped by a sage-level relic. But thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this. After all, the four great witches last night all believed that Miss Benanis was not good at fighting, and it was not impossible for her to be trapped by a relic that was extremely restrained due to negligence.

【Are you going to save them? 】

With a soft whisper in his ear, Shade put down the letter and nodded:

"Even if I want to leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Moreover, this matter is also related to me. The sage-level relics related to the theater that Miss Benanis is looking for recently, and Luvia mentioned the church at noon. Isn't this the relic that is being traced that turns people into puppets?"

Of course, no one answered Shade's question at this time, but the maid doll just now said a lot of things.

The extraordinary abilities of the transformation system, such as "toy transformation", "petrification" and "sheep transformation", have very unified characteristics. As long as the soul of the person being transformed is still there, it means that the transformation of the transformation is reversible. And if the soul is not there, then the essence of the ability is permanent transformation. The difficulty of turning it back into a living person is about the same as finding a random toy, a stone statue, or a sheep and turning it into a normal human being.

The doll just now is undoubtedly "alive", and its soul is imprisoned in the puppet's body. Therefore, the letter does not lie. Even if it is turned into a doll, it can still be changed back. This is not a permanent change.

"It's such a pity that Luvia didn't know what kind of relic this was at noon."

Carefully closing the door behind him to prevent little Mia from running out, Shade slowly walked towards the door next door with only a crack open.

After opening the door, the sound of opera singing could still be heard in the dim box. The concentration of whispering elements reached its extreme here. There were no lights on in the room, but Shade could still recognize that the structure here was almost exactly the same as the box he was in just now.

But at this time, the sofa and coffee table that were supposed to occupy the center of the box were all moved to the wall. The huge wooden models were arranged from a position five or six steps away from the door to the depth of the room. They were models of forests, cities, and castles. Although the wooden models were painted to fill in the colors, they still looked unrealistic and rather cartoonish and childish.

It's just that Shade believes that no child can refuse such a model toy.

No one else could be seen in the room, but outside the huge model, traces of a fight could clearly be seen, but the traces were not very obvious. The whisper element is clearly revealed here. The rating of this unknown relic is probably really Sage level.

Shade was still standing in the corridor holding the door handle, fully expecting what would happen after he entered.

[Are you sure, do you really want to go in? 】

"She" asked softly, and Shade nodded slightly:

"I won't do anything I'm not sure about. You know this. This is a good opportunity. The witch needs help, and I happen to be right. Although there are risks, I think it should be okay."

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of chains rattling suddenly came from the room. At the innermost side of the box, where the wooden model is farthest from the door, past the forest and the city model, on the top terrace of the almost human-high palace and castle model, the slide rail pushed out a brand new puppet.

The puppet was only the size of a palm, and was wearing a white princess dress that only appeared in fairy tales. It was tightly tied to a chair with chains, and a slide rail was connected to the bottom of the chair. Probably to prevent the puppet from escaping, the chains almost tied the princess-like puppet into a silkworm wrapped in a cocoon. The puppet was alive and squirming, but its face couldn't make any expression, so it looked quite funny.

It is worth mentioning that even though the face is made of wood and the golden hair is made of silk thread, this is the most "beautiful" puppet Shade has ever seen. There need be no doubt that this is Miss Vanessa Benanisse. Because of the special puppet form at this time, coupled with the obstruction of the whispering element, Shade, who was originally in the next room, did not feel her presence from the badge.

Miss Benenice had never met Shade, but she probably guessed that he was the person she was going to meet today, so she struggled to express something through her twisting body. It's a pity that puppets like her don't seem to have the ability to speak, and Shade doesn't understand means of spiritual communication.

"Beloved of the God of Toys, your goal is to overcome the obstacles I set up and, as a brave man, rescue the princess imprisoned at the top of the palace."

Some funny children's voices came from behind the huge palace model, and a boy-like puppet wearing blue overalls and a red hat poked his head out from behind the palace.

The imprisoned witch puppet is only the size of a palm, but it is half a person tall, and there are no silk threads or discs on the top of its head to control it.

Shade's expression suddenly turned cold. This weird puppet was at least the core of the relic, if not all of it.

"silver"

He raised his right hand and was about to swing it out, but the half-human-tall child-like doll jumped up and stopped him. The puppet's black button eyes looked at him, and its lower mouth kept opening and closing, letting out a funny childish voice:

"If you really want those who have been turned into puppets to never be able to turn back into flesh and blood, you can fight me here."

It jumped up and down on the floor happily, and for some reason, this made Shade think of little Mia:

"Beloved of the God of Toys, I actually have no ill intentions towards you, I am just very curious about you. In addition, this woman has been trying to catch me during this time, so I am here to prepare for you. Puppetry."

It stopped jumping, its black eyes made of buttons stared at Shade, and made a gesture of invitation:

"As long as you reach the top of the castle and rescue the princess, I promise to let you all go. Yes, even though I am a relic, I can still swear this to the God of Toys."

The singing voice of the opera performance outside the box seemed to have reached the climax of the song. Shade pretended to hesitate for a moment:

"When I become a puppet, I lose all my casting materials and relics. I will not easily step into your venue."

"Oh, when you turn into a puppet and step into my puppet theater, your spellcasting no longer requires materials. You are the favored one of the God of Toys, and you carry many toys with you. I allow you to use the items you carry. As long as you can still hold them.”

"it is as expected."

Shade hesitated for a moment, then dispersed the silver light in his hand, took a step forward and entered the box.

As he continued to walk towards the huge field model, his skin felt hot and itchy as if it was on fire. When Shade finally came to the entrance of the model forest, with the soprano singing as loudly as if she wanted to shatter the glass, with a crashing sound, all the belongings Shade carried were scattered on the ground, and there was a faint light. Let metal and glassware reflect arc light.

[Outlander, you have come into contact with "Whispers". 】

[Outlander, your life form has undergone a reversible transformation. Is it necessary to resist through soul power? 】

Shade did not resist, so he stood on the path at the entrance of the "forest", looked at his hands that had turned into puppets, looked at the clothes wrapping his body, then turned around and saw that they had fallen to the floor. The potion bottles are even bigger than his own now.

Five silk threads connect the limbs and head. Above the silk threads is the inner cross disk that controls the puppet.

The first fire and divinity are still protecting Shade. As long as he wants, he knows that he can change back at any time after leaving this model field.

At this time, the opera outside happened to be the aria of the knight's adventure story, and the half-human-tall puppet had already hidden behind the model castle again, humming softly in a funny voice:

"The evil demon broke into the royal palace, kidnapped the beautiful princess, and covered the originally fertile kingdom with forests. The foreign knights broke into the forest and headed for the distant castle for the princess."

The doll Shade had nothing on him. He tried to cast a spell, and then the doll's hand pulled out a "Moonlight Sword" from the air that matched the size of its body. Even the glowing sword looked like it was made of wood. Toy.

[Foreigners, in the venue of the sage-level relic [Crazy Puppet Theater], all spell castings require no materials, all spell casting effects are related to body shape, and the spell casting cost is greatly reduced. 】

Although the body has become smaller, the soul is still great, which leads to a reduction in spell casting consumption and spell casting effect, but the total amount of spirit and the recovery speed of spirit remain completely unchanged. At this time, the amount of spirit consumed by using the "Moonlight Great Sword" and maintaining the weapon's existence is not even as much as Shade's natural recovery.

This gave Shade more ideas:

"Open the secret lock later and give it a surprise."
