Chapter 183 – Elven Whispers
Sol immediately stepped aside, "Come in, 117 has some effect on me."
Kongsha sniffed, and without hesitation sidestepped and squeezed through the bit of the doorway that Saul had pushed open.
As soon as she entered, she saw the bottle on the cart.
"Is that Elven Whisper?"
"You haven't seen it before? Are you sure you want to use it?" Sol raised an eyebrow.
"It's just that it's a little more ... pocketable than I thought." Kongsha no longer hesitated and immediately took out an iron box.
The lid of the box lifted, revealing a tattered mannequin doll.
Although it hadn't been seen for a few years, Saul still recognized that it was the doll that Cid had once used.
Seeing this elf doll again, which had once made both Kasha and Byron nervous, Saul was less intimidated to the point that he walked forward to observe the doll.
I don't know what Konza had done to the mannequin in the past two years, but he had even used it in this shape.
Having seen Kongsha's mannequin, Saul believed that the other party was capable of parsing elven whispers, and went through the notes quickly.
"You can open the bottle, but you can't take the branch out, and you can't spill the liquid inside."
Konza nodded.
She righteously stepped forward and cautiously but quickly opened the bottle with the twig, then took out a small silver paper knife and without hesitation cut off her spit out a piece of her tongue.
The tongue fell.
It landed right on the mannequin she was holding.
Instead, the doll, which originally wouldn't move, suddenly activated and grew its mouth.
The mouth was black, and only a hollow hole was seen extending into the body of the mannequin.
The tip of the tongue fell into the mannequin's mouth. With the wound facing downwards and the tip of the tongue upwards, it actually moved flexibly after getting stuck in a position similar to the throat.
A splash of red fell from the corners of Kong Sha's and the mannequin's mouths at the same time.
It was as if the two had the same mouth at this moment.
Saul, who was on the side, saw the bright red tongue, but just looked down at the time with an expressionless face.
Kong Sha said it would only take a few tens of seconds, and now ten seconds had passed.
Seemingly noticing Saul's movements, Kong Sha once again sped up.
She held the head of the mannequin with two fingers and stuck it into the mouth of the bottle a little bit.
As the two watched, the mannequin touched a green leaf of the tree branch.
Meanwhile, Sol's eyes took a quick left glance and turned back to stare at the branch, then half-squinted.
He entered into a semi-immersive meditation.
Kongsa's mouth opened wide, and blood flowed out of her mouth uncontrollably.
And the mannequin in her hand opened its mouth with the same magnitude.
A chant-like voice came out of the mannequin's mouth, ethereal and ethereal, so melodious that one couldn't help but be mesmerized by it.
In Saul's line of sight, a translucent human face emerged on the doll's face.
The face was very vague, and could be vaguely distinguished as a woman's face.
Beyond that, it was impossible to see anything else.
He turned to Kongsha, whose face did not appear to be in pain, but she made a gesture of listening with her head turned sideways.
As time passed, Kong Sha's expression became more and more grave, and in the end, several eyeballs were pressed tightly against the glass, and her pupils were locked tightly, flooded with unbelievable astonishment.
Saul stopped his semi-meditation and once again looked down to check the time.
Forty seconds had passed.
There were only twenty seconds left before the time they had agreed upon, but Kong Sha had no intention of stopping at all.
"Kongsa," Saul stepped forward, "Fifteen seconds left."
Kongsha did not respond to Saul, but the doll in her hand turned its head unexpectedly. The eyes of the doll, which were simply painted with brown paint, looked at Saul at the same time through the white vapor covering its face.
Saul and the mannequin exchanged glances and immediately realized that his movements seemed to be slowing down.
The illusion of time just now was really caused by the elf stuff.
Without hesitation, he immediately pulled out a red candle from his pocket and placed it on the cart.
Elves seemed to be able to affect a person's perception of time, but it was thought that they couldn't affect the dead. There was probably no one whose spirit would be more chaotic than the corpses in the necropolis room. Just as Saul pulled out the lamp lighter he had hidden under the cart, the figure in Konza's hand swished back around.
That sense of slow-motion vision on Saul then disappeared.
But his movements continued, and the port of the lamplighter gradually approached the candlewick.
"Konsa, and ..." Saul glanced at the clock, "ten seconds. Nine, eight ..."
Although he said there were ten seconds left, Saul had already begun to energize the lamplighter.
Just at the moment when the igniter's flame sprang out, Kong Sha suddenly withdrew her hand.
The ethereal singing voice disappeared, and even the elf dolls closed their mouths.
Kong Sha lowered her head and did not look at Saul, just silently took the elf doll back into the metal locket. She lifted the back of her hand and wiped the bloodstain on her face quite casually, then resealed the glass vial of the elf whisper.
Returning all of the items to their original positions, she nodded to Saul as she took the metal locket into her arms, signaling to Saul that she was well.
The hourglass clock was also exactly one minute full.
Saul breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
If he could, he didn't want to tear his face off with Kong Sha.
The strongest second level apprentice was not just words.
Saul slid the lamplighter across towards the cart, right where he had the best access to it, and then Saul stepped forward to push open one of the metal gates for Kongsha.
"There's less than two minutes left, you should hurry back."
Ever since Kongsha had completed the ritual, she had been looking pensive, even those eyeballs in her head had stopped appearing, and an unusually depressing atmosphere hung over her entire being.
She was also motionless while Saul was organizing the cart.
It wasn't until Saul opened the door for her that Kong Sha silently turned around.
Just then, a figure suddenly entered through the door.
Saul was startled and immediately backed up to his cart.
While the originally pensive Kong Sha was suddenly raising her head, her brain was tumbling, her body full of magic power was running wildly, a grain of ice crystal condensed around her head, and she was actually about to make a move here regardless of the situation.
However, when the person outside the door completely appeared, revealing his face, Kongsha was frozen, and even took the initiative to disperse the witchcraft that was about to be inspired.
And stand behind Kongsha's Saul also saw the person, is responsible for the first storehouse of Heywood.
Haywood at this time changed a silver silk short cloak, so that before he raised his head to reveal his face, the two did not immediately recognize.
The eyes of his heterochromatic pupils took in the scene inside the door.
"Disturbing you?" Haywood smiled, "No need to be so nervous, I was just passing through."
But when Haywood's eyes landed on Saul's cart, the steps he was about to take were retracted.
Saul expected him to lecture himself, but instead he turned to Konza.
"Although I'm not really qualified to say so, but I still advise you not to chase the elves' footsteps, you'll only get a false dream of beauty."
Saying that, one of Heywood's purple eyeballs suddenly turned to Sol alone, "All are outcasts, resign yourself to your fate."
Hearing this, Saul was thoughtful, but still stared warily at the two.
These two knew each other, and were not close!
Kong Sha, however, was tightly biting her red lips, and the slightest bit of blood seeped out from the tips of her teeth again. She was unable to speak at this time, but shook her head fiercely.
The white thick pulp in the glass cover followed and shook fiercely, and there were even a few whites of the eyes that thumped against the glass wall.
Haywood sighed, "You're better off than poor Ivan, who now wanders every night trying to get his body back."
The name Ivan caused Konza to jerk in her movements, but she still clenched her fists, stubbornly refusing to bow her head.
Haywood no longer persuade, a slight smile, "Since you insist on this ... then I will wait for your good news."
He sidestepped to make way for the passage, and Kong Sha walked out of the bronze gate like a gust of wind.
The gate slowly closed, and only two men remained in the corridor.
Now Haywood's blue and violet eyes looked at Saul at the same time, "I hope to wait for your good news as well."
Saul frowned and didn't respond.
Haywood didn't mention the eyes again, he nodded at Saul and turned to walk through the second metal door.
