Chapter 608: The Seal Loosens
Following the direction of Paracelsus, Firena came to the upper entrance of the basement, and around the entrance, there was a haphazard pile of miscellaneous objects, some of which showed that there had been a fierce fight.
The clutter around them was cleared, and the entrance to the basement was revealed to the two of them.
The entrance to the basement wasn't too big, and only one person could pass through, and with the petite stature of Firena and Matthew, they could barely go down together.
Following the light emitted by the magic light, after walking a few steps, Firena and the others arrived in a basement with countless magic arrays engraved on it, and in the center of the basement magic circle, Qianxue was lying there quietly as if she had fallen asleep, but she didn't have any breathing and heartbeat.
Perhaps because of the death of the master, the blood-colored lines of the curse had dimmed at this time, but those red and black blood vessels still remained on Qianxue's white skin, like the roots of an old tree coiled at the wrong level, absorbing the vitality of the master, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Slowly approaching Qianxue's body, except for the bullet hole located in the heart of her chest, her body did not have too many injuries, but it was the fatal wound caused by this bullet that made her completely lose her life.
"Senior...... That ......"
Standing beside Firena, Matthew looked at Firena, who was already in a stunned state, and couldn't help but call softly, thinking about how to comfort her master, but every time the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.
"It's okay, I don't care!"
Shaking her head slightly, Firena stared at Qianxue's serene face, and for a moment, an indescribable mood welled up in her heart, whether it was anger, sadness, or sentimentality, different emotions were mixed together at the moment, making her feel a little choked in her throat, and she didn't know what to do.
"Now, Matthew!"
Gently wiping the blood stains near Qianxue's wound with a silk cloth, Firena then called out to Mathew softly, and after the other party reacted, she continued to ask:
"Am I really a qualified master? I regret it now, if we had dealt with the lives on that artificial island earlier, if we had arrived on the black island earlier, maybe Qianxue's fate would not have been like this, it was all because I was not decisive enough to make it look like this, all because I was too weak......"
"Enough, senior!" Holding Firena close to her arms, Matthew gently stroked the other party's silky hair, and then whispered:
"Master, you are good enough, please don't be presumptuous, besides, it is not your fault that something like this happened, master, no one thought that such a result would happen, you have worked very hard, really, you have worked very hard, I believe that Qianxue she can become your predecessor's servant, and there will be no complaints."
Perhaps because of his own persuasion, Matthew could feel that his master's hands around him began to gradually let go, so she took extra care of Firena, who was in her arms, and hoped that she would be able to come out of the shadow of losing Qianxue sooner.
After a long time, Firena left Matthew's arms with red eyes, then looked into her eyes, and said lightly: "Matthew, you go out first, let me be alone for a while!" ”
The "senior ......" was still a little worried about Firena's state at this time, and Mathieu looked at his master with a worried face.
In the face of Matthew's worries, Firena patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly: "Peace of mind, peace of mind!" I'm not as fragile as I thought! Alright, get out of here and leave me alone! ”
With that, Firena grabbed the soft flesh of Matthew's waist with both hands and pushed her out with a reluctant expression.
In the end, Matthew, who was stubborn and stubborn with his master, could only choose to give Firena a heavy advice, and then walked out of the basement with a worried face and stood at the door of the basement to guard.
With Matthew's departure, the entire basement fell silent again, except for the faint sound of Firena's breathing, there was no more sound, and the dim magical light shone through the entire room, staining the whole room with a layer of sadness.
"Huh!" Looking at Qianxue lying quietly in the center of the magic array, Firena couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh, and gently stroked the other party's cold appearance with her right hand, wiping the blood stains that remained on her face for her.
While wiping away Chiyuki, Firena's mind kept echoing a ballad that was none other than the nursery rhyme that the children sang from time to time when they landed on the black island.
"Ten outsiders, went out to look for medicine, one person fell behind, and there were nine people left......"
It's not that Firena is too careful, but the experience she was in before, and her group went to find materials for Qianxue to cure the curse, which is very similar to the first sentence in this nursery rhyme.
Firena has always believed that things have a cause and an effect, and if too many coincidences are put together, this can't help but make her associate Qianxue's death with this nursery rhyme, but now there is no conclusive evidence, and she can only continue to pay attention to observe and guard against their sneak attacks at this time.
"Bang!" Just as Firena wiped the blood near Chiyuki's heart again, a sound like an explosion came out of Firena's mind, and then she felt that the power that had suppressed the magic in her body before seemed to loosen a lot.
Although that power could not be completely dissipated, compared to the previous magic spell that could not be released, Firena was able to use at least about bronze level strength.
"Matthew!"
As soon as Firena's words fell, Matthew's figure quickly rushed into the basement from the outside.
"What's the matter? Predecessor. ”
"Can you feel any changes in yourself?" The power that suppressed her strength began to loosen, and Firena was curious about how the servants would change.
"There are not too many changes, but I feel that the binding force around me is much smaller just now, I don't know if other servants will be like this."
After thinking about it for a while, Matthew answered truthfully about how he felt now.
There seems to be only a little change between herself and the Servants, but don't underestimate the changes that are just such a small change, for Firena, these magic powers can at least support her to summon the Servants again.
The reason why she wants to summon a new Servant is because Firena thinks that if it is really as the nursery rhyme on the black island sings, the outsiders who come to this island will die one by one, then as long as she summons a Servant and breaks the big premise of ten outsiders, then will her own group still die in those strange methods in the nursery rhyme.
