In any case, her caution worked here.
Dispel the silence.
The silent spell successfully suppressed the effect of the silence.
At this moment, Yin pointed at the elf from a distance and cast the second spell.
The fake elf's body shook, a trace of confusion flashed in its eyes, and then, as if trapped in a time loop, it began to repeat the same action in the same place.
Dispel the silence.
Dispel the silence.
Just like that, standing there, neither fast nor slow, with the same rhythm, the same movements, the same focused gaze, he continuously released the same spell.
Sig was stunned for a moment, then tentatively waved his hand from a distance, "...What happened to her?"
"She did something to her mind," Silver replied. "Come on. Let's go find Elastrid."
"What should she do?"
Silver paused as he passed by the fake Elastri.
She thought for a moment, then casually grabbed the weapon on the fake Elastri's waist and took it off the elf's waist.
The next second, the elf's shadow, which was still repeating the same action, disappeared into the weapon.
"...This seems to be the weapon that Elastrid treasures so much?" Sig asked cautiously.
"That's right," Silver replied. "It's just that Elastrid seems to have been using the sword's counterweight as a striking point. But she's a cleric and can't use sharp weapons, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"...Sword?" Sig repeated in confusion, then exclaimed, "That mace is actually a sword?!"
"Yes." Yin turned the weapon upside down without drawing it. "A hiltless longsword. Xingyong... um... I have a vague impression of this surname."
Afterwards, the two of them successfully walked up to the third floor, and Elastrid was now sleeping soundly on the table, her long silver hair falling to her knees like silk.
——Of course, the weapon that she never leaves her waist is gone.
"If our team is going to come up with another name, I suggest we call it the Onion Team," said Sig. "Everyone is like an onion, with layers upon layers."
"I didn't hide it," Yin said. "I just can't remember it."
"Then you have quite a thick layer of onion."

"What do you mean by teleporting fifty meters underground?"
Elsewhere, Emilia was also shocked by the method used to enter the catacombs of Candlekeep. "Shouldn't a so-called catacombs have some kind of special entrance? Isn't using a portal directly too crude?"
Mars replied, "There was an entrance originally. But as generations passed, there were fools trying to solve this centuries-old problem, and every few years, there were fools who angered the silver dragon ghost and eventually died in the tomb - this entrance has been blocked for decades."
"We won't see a silver dragon staring back at us the moment we enter the tomb."
"No." Apodel patted Emilia's shoulder affectionately. "The ghost of the silver dragon has long been reduced to only its neck and head."
"Can you cast spells?"
"can."
"Can you still breathe?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
As for whether they can fly...there are no ghosts in this world that can't fly. They can even pass through walls!
"True dragons roam the continent with their breath and magic. There's no difference between this ghost and its full form, right?"
"There's a huge difference," Mars said seriously. "Silver Dragon Milim's agility is much higher after she became a ghost than when she was alive."
Apodale added, "Furthermore, after becoming a ghost, she is bound even more tightly by magic. Even if she is destroyed, she will fully recover within ten days."
What this means is that even if a real silver dragon comes, it will only be beaten up by ghosts of the same species.
"This is really exciting news." Emilia said expressionlessly.
Now Emiya understood why one of the faith centers of the Church of Oghma was so helpless against a silver dragon ghost.
Soul of Kowloon (Part 3)
"Alestria, are you feeling a little unwell?" Emilia asked doubtfully, "Were you disturbed by the shadow of Candlekeep?"
Now their team has gathered together again.
Although everyone had probably been studying hard these days, and the magic book might have taken up a lot of their energy - but as far as he knew, everyone else had already finished reading their own magic book and started to busy themselves with their own things.
But during this time in Candle Castle, there were no external enemies to disturb us, so it shouldn't be so hard, right?
Hearing Emilia's question, Elastri finally took her hand away from the weapon at her waist, rubbed her eyes, patted her cheek, and replied, "No, I just slept on the table for a little too long."
"Oh, all right."
Just as Yin walked towards Emiya, humming an unknown elf song as if nothing had happened, Emiya poked her secretly.
[…Did you two cause any trouble when you went to find Elastrid?]
"What do you mean we caused the trouble? It was Elaster herself who caused the trouble!" Silver's eyebrows rose. "Her weapon is quite impressive. It was Sig and I who put the weapon back when it went out of control. She seems to come from a prominent family."
Emiya didn't really care about this: "Famous family, that's probably all a thing of the past."
Elastrid's origins are no secret, and she has lived in Baldur's Gate for a considerable period of time—she is undoubtedly an orphan raised in a non-elven community, and even by non-elves.
No matter how glorious her ancestors were, they would have probably become history long ago.
Yin shrugged: "Anyway, don't worry too much... I'll take good care of her."
Since Yin personally brought up this matter, it was naturally a sure thing.
Emiya shook her head.
Now, the place where their team gathered was quite special.
——They were in the catacombs below the inner court of Candlekeep.
Mountains of skulls were piled against the wall, and the faint breeze brushed past, making the place feel a little colder for no reason.
And under their feet, there was an obvious trace of rubble filling - it was obvious that this place had been dug up and then filled again, and now a thick layer of loose soil had accumulated on the rubble.
Emiya clapped her hands and formally reported the current situation: "Everyone, the good news is that although this is a tomb, it has not been affected by the rise of negative energy. We have not found any signs of undead creatures breeding.
"The bad news is, our target lies beneath this rubble. There, dwells a dragon ghost that has lingered in the mortal world for centuries. It's safe to say she's experienced a remarkable improvement during this transformation. We have two goals for this trip: first, to negotiate with the silver dragon ghost Milim, hoping to use this transformation to untie her obsession and liberate her soul. Second, to see this place..."
"Regarding the second point, I have a few words to say," Mars said, "The surface of Candlekeep is an impenetrable barrier. Although countless enemies are eyeing Candlekeep, very few can gain an advantage here."
"Unfortunately, Candlekeep does have a weakness: it's located beneath a cliff, and beneath the earth lies a vast and intricate underground labyrinth. Furthermore, there are ghosts haunting this place, eyeing the living with eagerness. No matter how powerful Candlekeep is, it can't slay dragons three times a month. Therefore, as long as the invaders are crazy and cruel enough, Candlekeep's underground is the best place to break in.
The cause of the increase in negative energy abundance remains unknown. It could be a random natural phenomenon, or perhaps the result of a rise in some other force. Until this is confirmed, they cannot afford to take it lightly.
"However, this trip won't be very dangerous," Emilia concluded. "My teacher has already gone down ahead of time. If all goes well, today will be a journey of decryption and heart-to-heart talks. There won't be any fighting involved."
At this moment, Yin lowered his head and nodded his chin: "...What if it doesn't go well?"
Emiya shook her head. “If Miss Milim is suffering from negative energy or the torment of time, and is truly extremely aggressive towards all visitors, then there’s nothing we can do.”
Mars said, "According to records, although Milim has become increasingly rude and impatient, as long as she claims to be here to free herself from the curse, she won't immediately engage in a fatal fight. Furthermore, her range of movement is always restricted by her own coffin, so as long as she doesn't enter the catacombs, she's generally not affected."
At this point, the paladin hesitated. "...But, with the sudden change in Candlekeep now... perhaps Milim's side will also be greatly affected. We'd better be cautious."
At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind them.
somebody is coming.
Emilia was stunned for a moment—this was a bit too coincidental. But after all, they were the ones who disturbed the normal operation of Candlekeep, so he had no right to say anything.
Then, Yin said lightly, "Come to think of it, the abundance of negative energy seems to have reached a critical point not long ago."
Emiya shuddered at the faint chill. "...What will happen if I break through?"
Almost at the same time, a group of clergymen carrying a heavy coffin came to the corridor where Emilia and her group were.
As expected, their figures and even the coffins they lifted showed a strange sense of transparency.
——They are shadows.
Naturally, Emilia and the others would not give way to some transparent and incorporeal ghosts - even if they did not, according to experience, these shadows would pass directly through their bodies.
At this moment, the shadows of the clergy came to Emilia and others carrying a coffin.
Looking ahead, I stopped.
Emiya was a little confused and even looked back following their gaze.
Behind Emiya was an empty corridor.
Elastrid was silent for a moment, unconsciously gripping the weapon at her waist: "...They seem to be watching us."
Miss Elf is right.
Those shadows were not looking behind them, but at Emiya and her group.
They were staring at Emiya and the others with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Emiya hesitated for a moment, then signaled the team to make room to the sides to allow the clergy to pass.
——Then, the anger on the faces of this group of shadows slowly dissipated, and they slowly carried the coffin towards the end of the corridor.
Emilia shuddered.
Shadow began to interact with the outside world.
"...Silver, what will happen if its abundance increases further?"
Yin replied, "This place will get closer and closer to the negative energy plane—ordinary life will feel powerless, and the corpses here will begin to transform into undead creatures. As for these shadows..."
She reached out and patted the shoulder of the shadow that passed by.
Her hand passed through Shadow's body, and as expected, she was met with Shadow's angry glare.
Silver shrugged nonchalantly and said, "—They will become real ghosts, gaining physical form to some extent."
By then, Candlekeep will have become a veritable haunted place.
Emiya pondered for a moment, patted the wall, and suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, Yin, are these shadows the ghosts of the real dead?"
"No," Yin said flatly, "The true souls of these deceased people have long since departed for the kingdom of God. What appears here are merely echoes of their lives."
"The echo becomes a physical entity..." Emiya frowned.
“It’s not good,” Mars said. “Even though our journey hasn’t even begun, I’m already extremely pessimistic—this seems to be one of Milim’s core concerns.”
"But I don't think the instigator would make such a big fuss just to revive a silver dragon. Rather, this seemingly unconventional resurrection of the dead must have been born out of some ulterior motive." Emilia gritted her teeth. "We need to talk to her first. It would be best if we could try to use formal methods to bring her back to life."
"...Oh." Yin thought for a moment and pointed at Emiya's feet, "Then maybe we don't have to look for her."
"She's already here."
She nodded downwards, and a transparent force field wall suddenly appeared under Emiya's feet.
Just below the force field wall, a dark breath of negative energy surged in silently, but was blocked by the force field wall under the ground and slowly spread in the tomb.
A huge green head floated around the force field wall and was looming among the rocks and soil.
Ten Dragon Souls (IV)
The ghost dragon only moves around her own coffin. In modern terms, Milim is more like a so-called earthbound spirit.
However, the earthbound spirit escaped from its own private territory - this was a shocking accident!
She is a giant dragon ghost, a giant dragon ghost that still retains the ability to breathe and think, and can pass through any entity at will!
The silver dragon's graceful horn has now completely transformed into a shark's dorsal fin, and the dragon scales that are barely visible but still sparkling are proving her presence.
Sig looked at the faint green shadow in the narrow tomb, a rare look of fear appearing on his face. He covered his mouth and retched slightly: "...Only... the head?! So disgusting! So disgusting...!"
But Emilia's reaction was even faster: "We have to get out of here!"
Ghosts can move freely within the wall, but they have to smash through several centimeters of rock to attack Milim?!
Are you kidding? Now they are basically bathing in the dragon's breath one-sidedly! Yin can use the force field wall to block the dragon's breath once, but this is not a cost-effective deal in a long-term battle:
Breathing isn't a huge drain on a dragon! Milim only needs to hide in the dirt and rocks for a while before she can poke her head out again.
"We need to go to the open field! Silver, teleport us outside the castle. I'll contact the others!"
