Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 72 The Water of the Holy Spirit
At the same time as Xia Zuo and the others arrived at Alice's residence.
Clara, on the outskirts of Leiden District, near the Desa Plains.
At this time, the summer is scorching, the sun is dazzling, and the sun is like a huge fireball rising into the sky, illuminating the earth and "scorching" everything on the earth, as if it wants to set all these things on fire.
This is the outskirts of Clara Leiden, which used to be a beautiful "Land of the Holy Spirit", but now it is a dangerous area known as the "Bone Woodland", which is synonymous with desolation and poor environment.
Coupled with the proximity to the wild beast-infested Plains of the Dessa, there are some fierce beasts from time to time from the Plains of the Dessa, which adds a bit of danger to the bone-buried woodland.
Clara's local elders say that the land was as prosperous as it is today, and that people lived and lived happily here, until a wandering robber who called himself an adventurer arrived.
The robber, who claimed to be an adventurer, was initially friendly but for some unknown reason changed his mind when he claimed that it was a rare treasure and declared his ownership and development rights to the land, asking the inhabitants to cooperate with him.
This banditry of the adventurers naturally aroused strong resentment among the local residents, who chose to rebel against the adventurers, and the adventurers also frantically suppressed the people's resistance.
The adventurer is extraordinary, not an ordinary enemy, and has many powerful accomplices, but the power of the people should not be underestimated, and the war between the people and the adventurer finally broke out completely.
Rivers of blood.
The once tall and beautiful trees were burned by the flames, the delicate and beautiful flowers were trampled underfoot, the grass began to grow, the houses were damaged and collapsed, and everything was destroyed.
The people of the Land of the Holy Spirit were defeated.
The adventurers won the war.
But the adventurer also contracted an incurable disease, was seriously wounded, and died of grudge soon after.
The war destroyed this prosperous and beautiful land, and destroyed this "land of the Holy Spirit" into today's "burial woodland", burying the bones of countless people who participated in the war in the past, and also buried the secrets of the adventurers' attachment to this land.
Everything that was once prosperous is now in ashes.
And in this dangerous area that should be deserted, a human team actually appeared at this time.
This is a squad of no more than ten people.
The leader of the team is a tall, beautiful woman with short blond hair, and a petite girl with silver hair and purple eyes is accompanied by the tall woman, the moving girl with silver hair and purple eyes chuckles, "bouncing" next to the tall woman, extremely active, and looks very comfortable, as if the place where she is at the moment is not a dangerous wilderness, but a lively and pleasant paradise.
Most of the members of the team are young and beautiful women, and a few are men with elegant and polite appearances, probably because they know that the weather in the bone glades is hot, and the members of the team all wear light and simple clothes, which are conducive to action in addition to coping with the hot sun.
This seems to be an adventurous team, but it doesn't look like a normal human adventurous team at all, how can a normal adventurous team go out like these people.
Shouldn't a normal adventuring party be fully armed and arm themselves from head to toe before setting out? How can there be such a reduction in equipment and light loading?
Even if you don't need that much equipment, you need to bring some resources for daily life, right?
The truth is, this team is indeed not a normal human team, it is a team of the Soul Descendants.
Naturally, the Soul Descent team with space storage props does not need to carry a large number of outfits like ordinary humans, but only needs to put the necessary items into the space props, which is very simple and convenient.
And that team is none other than Clara's Soul Hunter Squad, Lighthouse.
And the leader of the team is naturally the captain of the lighthouse, "Elena".
The cute girl with silver hair and purple eyes next to Elena is Edith, who mysteriously appeared in the lighthouse before.
The people of the lighthouse don't know if it's for the secret buried in the bone woods, or if it's for some other reason.
However, judging from the fact that Edith appeared in the lighthouse team, although the rest of the lighthouse were unwilling, they still couldn't resist Elena's strength and Edith's hidden threat, and still agreed to let Edith join the operation as a temporary member.
The people at the lighthouse were in a hurry, looking at the dry and harsh environment around them, and there were some complaints.
Although the Soul Descendant's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, and if necessary, Soul Energy can be used to strengthen the body, but in this hot and dry environment, even the Soul Descendant may not feel much better.
"Captain...... Do you really think the information is correct?" a voice asked suddenly, weakly.
Elena turned her head sideways and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
It turned out to be Wood, one of the only two men in the squad.
At this time, Wood was panting and sweating on his forehead, and it was obvious that it was very difficult for him to walk for a long time in this harsh environment of the bone-buried woodland.
Wood's human identity is a surgeon, and the soul identity is mainly an elixir master, and finally a soul hunter, the first two professions are obviously not professions with excellent physique, plus Wood's soul energy is already weak, so it is normal for Wood to not be able to hold up his first body.
After all, everyone has been moving around the Bone Grove for a long time, and there is no rest in between, if this is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have collapsed due to heat stroke and physical exhaustion.
"Wood, that's what he said, Elena. The vice-captain Camilla suddenly coaxed, looking at Elena with a teasing look in her eyes, "We've all been looking here for so long...... How much manpower and material resources have been wasted, and I haven't found even a clue to the thing you said. ”
"Are you sure the news of the Water of the Spirit is reliable?"
"And this unreliable Edith......" Camilla rolled her eyes and glanced at Edith, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly paused.
Camilla noticed Elena's cold eyes.
Elena glanced at Camilla coldly, "The news is naturally reliable, and so is Edith. ”
"You can sometimes criticize me for being bad, but criticize Edith, you don't have that qualifications yet. ”
"Also, don't always have nothing to question my decisions, Camilla. Elena's blue eyes stared at Camilla, and a cold light flickered.
"Oh, I'm not thinking about everyone. Camilla couldn't help but choose to retreat slightly in the face of Elena's cold gaze at this time, and turned her head unconvinced.
The Holy Spirit Water mentioned by Carmilla is a mythical and legendary spiritual object, of course, this spiritual object is not an ethereal existence for the soul descendants, but the number is relatively rare.
The water of the Holy Spirit is said to come from the "unicorn" in human legends, and in the classification of soul descendants, unicorns belong to god-like soul creatures, ancient gods, whose abilities are beyond imagination and can be completely comparable to real gods.
Legend has it that in that ancient and mysterious era, before the Tertiary "Age of Balances", in the Second Age, there was a group of animals wandering in the wild, and the group of animals quickly felt thirsty in the wild, and after thirst, these animals began to look for water, and soon found a pool.
But the animals all gathered around the pool, staying aside, and none of the animals dared to actually come forward.
Because the water in the pool is black, and more poisonous snakes are entrenched there, it is obvious that the water in this pool is poisonous.
The animals were afraid to come forward.
It was at this time that a unicorn passed by the pool.
The unicorn saw at a glance the poison contained in the pool, and saw the unicorn stride towards the pool, ignoring the poisonous snake that the animals feared, lowered its head, and gently touched the horn on its head on the surface of the pool like a dragonfly.
In a split second.
The black water in the pool immediately became clear and clear, and the toxins contained in the water dissipated in an instant, and even the poisonous snake entrenched there fled the pool in terror, as if driven out by the power of the unicorn.
A passing human traveler happened to witness the scene.
The human traveler was amazed and amazed, and the traveler went to the pool and tried the water in the drinking pool, which had been purified by unicorns.
The traveler who drank the water of the pool was refreshed, his fatigue dissipated, and he felt that the dark wounds he had accumulated over his body from years of travel were also swept away.
At the same time, the traveler also feels that his mental and physical powers seem to have undergone some kind of unimaginable evolution, and the potential of his body seems to be exploited by the magical power contained in the pool.
The traveler was pleasantly surprised, and looked at the unicorn with an almost pilgrimage as it gradually moved away from the pool.
For this reason, the traveler called the unicorn "Holy Spirit", that is, "a holy spirit or deity", and the remaining water in that pool was considered holy by the traveler, and called it "the water of the Holy Spirit".
The water of the Holy Spirit has the ability to heal the spirit and body of living beings, and it can also awaken the latent power in living beings, and it is the kind that has almost no negative effects, which can be described as a rare and precious thing.
According to the research of the Soul Descendants, it is impossible to verify whether the legend is true or not, but it is certain that there is indeed Holy Spirit Water with this miraculous effect in this world, and the Soul Descendants have found it all over the world.
It's just that it is unknown whether this water of the Holy Spirit really comes from the unicorn of a unicorn touching an ordinary water source, as the legend says.
In addition, it is precisely because of the legendary unicorn's extraordinary ability to purify and heal everything that the title "unicorn" is used within the Soulborn as the highest title of an elixir master who specializes in healing the flesh of the Soulborn.
When Elena saw Camilla turn her head, she let Camilla go and turned her gaze to Edith beside her.
Elena's attitude towards Edith was obviously much better than that of Camilla, and the corners of Elena's mouth rose slightly, showing a touching smile at Edith.
"I'm sorry, let you see this scene, don't pay too much attention to her, she just always likes to go toe-to-toe with me. Elena smiled apologetically at Edith, and wanted to rub Edith's head, her eyes completely doting and loving her dear sister.
"Hey, hey, it's fine. Edith deftly dodged Elena's head and smiled slyly, "It's just an apology and taking the opportunity to touch her head, isn't that okay?"
"I heard that it won't grow tall. Edith's purple-jeweled eyes revealed a faint smile.
"Alas, the idea was seen through. Elena sighed regretfully and smiled at Edith.
"However, it seems that this operation seems to be more difficult for you people at the lighthouse, sister. Edith winked cutely, glancing at the somewhat tired lighthouse around her.
After all, the soul hunting team, which is mainly composed of elixir masters and psychiatrists, has a very obvious disadvantage in this kind of operation.
Edith is very different from the Lighthouse people.
Edith was very relaxed in this operation, and she could even jump and play along the way.
Edith's physique is far superior to that of ordinary soul descendants, and as a soul hunter of the undead system, Edith is undoubtedly at home in the bone burial woodland, a place where countless dead people were buried in the past and the power of the dead soul is everywhere.
"It's okay, we should be there soon. Elena smiled at Edith, "I believe they can hold on, we soul descendants are not so vulnerable, even if we are psychiatrists or elixir masters." ”
"After arriving at the destination, with the union of our spiritual forces, the water of the Holy Spirit must be at hand. ”
"Hey, that's good. Edith couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, "After all, you will need your strength to assist in exploration at that time." ”
"After all, it's the burial place of that legendary adventurer, and if it's just a headlong rush, simply going on a rampage could have serious consequences. Edith suddenly smiled playfully, "Although I am also quite curious about this consequence......"
"But forget it. Edith smiled, shook her head, and shifted her gaze slightly in the direction of the Baker district in the distance, and her smile began to grow sly.
"In order to be able to get the water of the Holy Spirit smoothly and then help my brother, I have to grieve myself. ”
"Brother, just wait for me to surprise you, hehe. Edith smiled slyly.
