The witch under the moon is so charming, her singing seems to be accompanied by the twinkling stars. In the center of the golden theater, no one can resist the charm of the witch at this moment.
Shade even had doubts about this, and was confused as to whether the reason why the mystery was created in the first place was just for performance.
But no matter how beautiful the singing is, it will always stop, and Shade's magic trick "The Sound of Music" has completely recorded Miss Bernice's voice.
When the scenery of Mysuo faded around them, the ceiling covered the heads again, and the gas lamps on the walls were relit one by one, the four audience members in the Mysuo auditorium applauded excitedly.
The witch reservedly raised her skirt and saluted them on the stage. Shade applauded while thinking about how the ancient god would view this song after unlocking the key to time.
In his opinion, there is no song more suitable to be dedicated to that God than this song. Fortunately, he has obtained the only answer.
Opening the secret lock, even if it was not used in battle, still caused considerable consumption to the witch. Because the essence in the [Perfume Vial of Desire] had strange side effects, Shade did not take it out.
They met again backstage, and Shade was not stingy with his words of praise. Although Miss Benanis pretended to be reserved, she was greatly benefited from being praised by a strange man who could fascinate other witches. The witch held back
Without showing a smile, he and Miss Lassus bid farewell to Shade and the others.
It was late at night, the performance was officially over, and everyone had accomplished their goals. After seeing Miss Bernanise's skills, Margaret also made up her mind to become her apprentice.
Her Royal Highness the Princess learned that Luvia was now staying at the Fertile Land Hotel in the city center, so she insisted on taking her back by carriage. On the way to the hotel, Shade also introduced his relationship with Luvia to the princess.
There is no need to hide this.
"Yes, I once said that there are many girls around me."
Although he had already admitted this, it still made Shade a little embarrassed when he said it.
Margaret raised her neck and looked at Luvia with a hint of arrogance, while Luvia looked at her with a smile.
After a long while, Margaret asked:
"Miss Anat, when did you establish a relationship with me?"
Before Shade spoke, Luvia smiled and said:
"At the end of the year, Princess Lesia Cavendish called me 'sister' just to ask me to allow Shade to go out on a date with her."
Although some details are omitted, it is indeed true.
The smile on Margaret's face stiffened for a moment. She glanced at Shade. Seeing that Shade didn't refute, she raised her neck and lowered it slightly. Her deliberately arrogant expression also subsided, revealing a look that was even a little bit...
A pitiful expression. She was quite aware of Lesia's methods, and she also knew how proud the princess of the North was. Even in this case, the purple-eyed girl in front of her was still able to make Lesia relent, Margaret.
Know what you should do:
"Miss Anat, Luvia, nice to meet you."
The female diviner showed a somewhat arrogant but satisfied look:
"You don't have to be so polite, but I think we will have a lot of common topics. It just so happens that I have to stay here for a while because of the Prophet Association. If I have time, we can talk alone."
She looked at Shade aside and raised her eyebrows at him. Shade kept silent at this time, knowing very well that nothing he said at this time was appropriate.
The time key of Fifth Era 4791 was supposed to be opened again on the early morning of this Sunday, but it was postponed due to the song. Since the song has been "obtained" at this time, it is time to use the key.
First, Luvia was sent back to the hotel, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess sent Shade to Cherry Leaf Street. After Shade hurried back home with some excitement, he first hugged the cat that Dorothy sent home in the evening.
, and then prepared the items to be brought this time.
Dorothy did not stay overnight at Shad's place tonight. She left a letter explaining the contents of Mia's lunch and dinner. She also missed Shad very much after not seeing Shad's cat for a day.
When it saw Shade taking out the wooden key, it immediately understood what Shade wanted to do. So the cat meowed and rubbed against Shade's legs, obviously wanting to take risks with Shade.
But Shade rejected it. There were a lot of insects at the destination. Whether Mia was frightened by the insect swarm or was not frightened but pounced on the insect swarm, it was not good news for him.
A clean cat should not get too close to bugs:
"Mia, wait for my return at home. May the World Tree protect me in the infinite time."

The cat squatted aside and watched Shade step into the white mist door.
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Autumn of 4791 in the Fifth Age, Southern Continent, Worm Cave.]
【Event: Butterfly Festival.】
【Duration thirty minutes (2/3).】
[You have obtained additional information.]
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you.]
[The ancient god of time gives you a test.]
[Help mortals complete the ritual of the old god-'Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly', so that one of them can win the favor of his family members.]
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: thaumaturgy - Fiona's domestic servant, a true message - the mermaid.]
"Fiona's domestic servant. I noticed last time that Miss Drago, Miss Olanold's apprentice, is also named Fiona. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not."
The figure of the red dragon witch flashed in Shade's mind, and when he thought of the big tail behind the young witch, Shade couldn't help but smile.
He took another step forward in the white mist. As the white mist spread to the surroundings, a cold and fishy smell immediately poured into his nostrils. The scene of a dim, narrow and damp underground tunnel appeared around him. This time, Shade did not stop at all.
, and ran directly forward. While colorful and densely wriggling insects poured out from the small holes around the corridor, he had already run forward relying on "Raglai's Leap" and "Incarnation of the Red Butterfly"
Almost a third of the way.
The bugs around and under his feet were nothing, but the "rain of bugs" pouring out like a fountain from the small hollow above his head was the most unbearable. Amid the numbing sense of crisis, Shade once again performed better than before.
The speed. Fortunately, the road ahead is not long, and due to the success of the God-Calling Ceremony, the grass vines clinging to the rock wall invaded the interior of the cave corridor and blocked the wormhole at the exit. Therefore, Shade's
This "escape" process was much more successful than the last time.
As the red butterflies flew out of the rock cave, the middle-aged witch Maggie Bletchett and Ollie Perry, whom Iluna called "Saint Perry", sat around the huge wooden round table.
The lady and Mr. Fred Lyman, who likes girls with animal features, turned around together and happened to see a swarm of red butterflies descending from the sky, and the familiar figure of a young man walking out of the butterfly swarm.
Shade did not look at his companions, patted his clothes, resisted the illusion that there were bugs crawling on his body, and respectfully saluted the gods on the other side of the round table covered with delicacies:
"God of Butterflies, I have returned to your feast with songs dedicated to you. Please forgive me for my farewell not long ago. I believe that the songs I brought will satisfy you."
The god who seemed to have transparent wings on his back and whose image was changing every time he looked at her, smiled and nodded:
"I'm looking forward to your singing."
Shade walked to the table and sat down. His seat was easily distinguishable, after all, everyone had three little flowers in their hands.
"How long was I gone?"
After sitting down, Shade asked softly to the middle-aged witch beside him, who shook her head regretfully:
"There is no concept of time here. It may be just a moment, or it may be several months."
Shade nodded and took out the items prepared for everyone. Mr. Lyman, who wanted to marry Butterfly Girl, asked for a lyre, Sister Perry's was the church poetry classic "Song of the Earth", and the middle-aged witch wanted
Asked for fresh leaves.
Seeing that the god was watching their exchange with a smile and did not urge him to sing songs immediately, Shade lowered his voice and asked the middle-aged nun who was opening a book:
"Sister Perry, do you know about this strange phenomenon called 'Crazy Land'?"
The nun nodded in surprise, and also lowered her voice and said:
"Yes, there are such rumors in the diocese where I am stationed, but it is said that they only happen once every few hundred years."
It seems that in the Fifth Epoch, the problem in the Randall Valley was not that serious.
“How does the church address this phenomenon?”
Shade asked again, and Sister Perry shook her head:
"I'm not a witch or a magician from the church. I just heard that I need to rely on the power of my Lord [The Old Man with the Lamp]."
That is to say, magical rituals. It seems that the solutions in the fifth era are not much different from those in the sixth era. This nun who was canonized after her death should know nothing about it now.
"What a coincidence, I have also heard such rumors."
The middle-aged witch Miss Bretchet said suddenly. When Shade looked at her, she explained carefully:
"I believe in the Great One [Old Forgotten], and the headquarters of the cult is also at the place mentioned by the nun just now. However, I am not a core member of the cult, so I have only heard about it."
Members of the Witch Council must be believers of the ancient god [Chaos Witch]. There are no restrictions on other witches. Twelve-level witches like Ms. Bretchet are not firm in their beliefs. If they have the opportunity to become a member
, converting to the [Chaos Witch] is no obstacle to them (note).
"The Order of the Forgotten?"
Shade frowned slightly. He actually had a lot of questions about that church. But now is the fifth era, and that was the sixth era. Even if he heard about the belief of this mysterious old god again, he didn't have many questions. He could learn from this era
The answer came from the mouth of the witch.
PS: Explain the Witch Chloe’s belief in the “Winter Maid”.
She was indeed a member of Parliament, and when she met Shade, she was truly a thirteenth-level person. She believed in the "Winter Maiden" as she called herself at the time, but apparently because of her soul split, she forgot who she was and who she was.
He is a congressman, so what he talks about is his belief before he became a congressman.
As for why she doesn't believe that the "Winter Girl" can still be favored by the gods, does Shade not believe in the "Innocent Creator", but is still loved by the God of Toys? The ancient gods have different meanings from other gods.
