Fiona looked at her teacher curiously, and the half-elf said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing an invisible being:
"One night some time ago, when I was meditating towards the moon, I heard a voice that did not belong to this era. The demigod who called himself 'Witch Emperor Violet' sent some messages in the distant future. This
What it means, Fiona, you should understand."
"And the good news is, we're right in the middle."
Miss Philiana said quietly, and then blinked at Fiona as if she just remembered:
"Fiona, why are you standing there all the time? Sit down quickly."
A new chair appeared out of thin air beside the table.
"Didn't you make me stand because you were angry?"
Fiona whispered in her heart, but did not dare to express her feelings.
She walked to the table holding the time key.
"Tell us more about your adventure."
The teapot flew up automatically and poured tea for Fiona. Miss Olanold snapped her fingers again, and the girl with white ash on her clothes immediately became completely new:
"Tell me about Shade."
So Fiona hesitantly reached for her small bag. Most of her belongings, including the eggshell book, were left behind in Evernight City during her escape. She could only get them back after a while.
But there was only one thing that she always carried with her.
Shade's coat was taken out by Fiona:
"I washed it for him and forgot to return it to Shade. I will return it to him next time I see him."
The young girl stammered, fearing that her thoughts would be seen.
"It's really interesting. This dress didn't disappear after Shade left."
Miss Feliana said softly, and the pages on the table flew downstairs, letting the witches who had avoided this conversation come back. Miss Olanold continued to talk about Shade with her students, wanting to know every detail
story details.
Mana Feliana took a deep breath, listened to the story in her ears, picked up the tea cup again, and looked at the place where Shade disappeared just now:
"We will meet again, right?"
(Little Mia is running.)
Since this was not a normal mission, Shade had not seen the shadow of his tree father again since returning to the past, nor had he received any rewards.
But it was enough to save Fiona and see Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode again. Not to mention, he obtained the last spiritual rune of the Five Rings and gained a new fairy tale fan again.
Lock.
Even if he hadn't actively suppressed himself at this moment, Xia De even felt that he would be promoted to the sixth ring in the next moment.
"It seems that some of the abilities of this mysterious lock can be used normally. Let's explore it after the incident is over."
Although the girls in the Wilde Opera House did not know what Shade had experienced just now, when they saw Shade again and saw that he was in a good mood, they knew that the story that happened in the past had a good ending.
After dealing with Fiona's matter, the last thing of this long night, which is also the most important thing, is finally coming.
Between the fourth time Shade opened the time key and the fifth time he opened the time key, he first followed Miss Sylvia to find Miss Daniste outside the city, and then went to St. Byrons and went on a night walk with the elf girl.
.Although the portal was opened directly after returning from outside the city, and the fifth time key adventure only took three seconds, such a long time was enough for the situation in the Randall Valley area to undergo further changes.
Since the big earthquake in the early morning, a series of small earthquakes have occurred in the Randall Valley area almost without interruption. The original strange gray snow turned into a blizzard, symbolizing the twisted black mud of the earth coming from the cracks caused by the earthquake.
Surges out, the crazy elemental spirits attack the living people wantonly, and the crazy land invades the normal lands step by step.
Compared with the first half of the night, in the second half of the night after midnight, the intensity of the battle has completely reached the level of the battle of Fort Midhill last autumn. It is not limited to fossil creatures and earth elemental djinn, there are more and more people in the swaying wind and snow
Monsters related to the "earth" appeared in the darkness. Even though the church mobilized more ring warlocks and made more preparations this time than during the Battle of Midhill Fort, it still did not have a clear advantage.
As for the "Crazy Earth" area where only the holders of "Power of the Earth" could barely resist, on the night of the decisive battle, the Zhengshen Church and even most of the ring warlocks who participated in this battle still failed to find an effective counterattack.
Method. But fortunately, the magical rituals arranged in advance on normal land can prevent the land from being "contaminated" to a certain extent. Therefore, even if the combat area is reduced a little bit, at least it has not fully affected the battle situation.
And as the first Randall flower bloomed, the cultists who were originally hiding in the dark corners also started their own actions.
Not only the sect that believes in the evil god [Stone Heart Demon], but also the [Blood Spirit School] who still doesn’t know why they want to help them, including the [Mirror Association], [Sleep Abbey] and [Black Forest House], etc.
An illegal group according to the official definition has appeared in Tahiti and the mountainous forests in the eastern part of the Randall Valley. Even the Creation Church reported the discovery of the [Truth Society], but this time they seemed to just come to join in the fun and
To collect data.
Although the ring magicians of these illegal groups appeared in the wild, they had not yet broken out into large-scale conflicts with the church. When Tifa informed Shad and Miss Sylvia of this information after returning from the trip, both of them believed that
, perhaps the cultists have not yet determined where the final ceremony of the Chosen One will be held.
"So, what's the next move?"
Miss Sylvia, Shade, Luvia, Sirius and the three witch apprentices gathered in the basement of the opera house. All the girls looked at Shade, and Shade had no worries in his arms.
Holding the cat, he can finally execute the plan:
"I passed the Church of the Forgotten and went directly to the Temple of the Night. If Iluna received the earlier news, she should have arrived too. The four gems have been obtained. I will open the Butterfly Cemetery and try to enter the earth with Iluna.
Where the heart is, with that fragment, this should be no problem. If we can see the guardian before he goes completely crazy and appears on the ground, we still have a chance to save everything."
At this moment, the "Heart of the Earth Piece" that Shade obtained from the disappeared secret passage was placed in a gray stone box and placed on the table beside it.
Although except for Luvia, the other girls could not fully understand what he was talking about, but this did not prevent them from knowing that this was Shade's action alone.
"What about us?"
Miss Sylvia asked.
"Miss Sylvia, you take Luvia and"
He hesitated:
"Take Luvia and Sirius together and go out of the city to join the great witches. If I can't catch up, I'm afraid I will have to stop the guardians on the ground and then hold the ceremony of the chosen one. Oh, take this."
He took out the Holy Grail, which he turned into a toy with a lot of spiritual power, from his pocket, and then gave her the "healing" and "memory" in it:
"You have all the ingredients for preparing the elixir with you to prevent accidents. Remember, safety comes first."
The reason why Miss Sylvia was asked to take Luvia and Sirius is because they both have the power of the earth.
"In addition, the girls staying at the opera house should inform Miss Carina that they can prepare for the final battle. Of course, there is no need to deliberately stop and do nothing. After all, the time has not been completely determined."
"It's such a pity that we don't know where the ceremony of the chosen ones will be held."
Luvia said regretfully, but she looked at Shade. Shade knew what she meant. He still had the last special coin in his hand [The Emperor's Banquet Copper Coin].
But Shade doesn't want to use it yet.
"Okay, I will pay attention to safety."
Miss Sylvia nodded, and Shade asked again:
"Where is Iluna now? Did she reply to us after receiving the message?"
"Miss Bayas only gave a signal that she had received the message, but did not give a more specific reply. The city is in chaos now, and she probably won't find a good opportunity."
Miss Hayley Aurora said.
Compared with Tifa who participated in the Tobesk Darkness Incident and Miss Rita Swift who participated in the Battle of Middleburg, this is the first time for this young Miss Aurora to participate in such an event close to a large-scale battle.
So apart from worry, there is also some small excitement.
"Do you need me to follow you out of the city?"
The black-haired maid asked Shade. Among the three apprentices, she was the only one with a seventh-level apprenticeship, and she was very close to the eighth-level apprentice, so she could also provide help.
"No need, the city still needs you. Of course, there is also a report to the parliament."
Time was very tight. After deciding on the action plan, Shade just hugged Luvia and set off alone again.
It's just that compared to going to Oxenfurt Manor in the middle of the night, this time he brought his [Night Watch]. As for Mia, Shade thought about it again and again but still didn't bring it with her, and instead asked Tifa to stay at the opera house.
Take care of it.
The distance from the Wilde Opera House to the Church of the Forgotten on Cherry Leaf Street is very short. Shade wore a cloak and walked along the shadow of the low wall on the street. Looking at the turbulent city after the earthquake, the sense of urgency in his heart became even stronger.
Already.
Not everyone can find a safe evacuation area in advance. Even with the advance warning from the city hall, tonight is a night that the entire city of Randall Valley will never forget.
After stepping into the snow and entering the church, Shade didn't stop much. He walked wordlessly on the path among the benches, looked up at the Holy Emblem, and when he passed the stone statue of Mr. Lacers, he reached out and patted the stone statue.
He raised his shoulder and walked towards the basement without looking back.
