Chapter 1918 The invitation from the witch and the nun
Then, even though Shade was sitting here, he couldn't hear who said:
"For Shade."
The depressing atmosphere was finally relieved by the laughter of the girls. Shade was very suspicious that this was what Grace or Helen said, especially Helen, who was her younger sister. But the twin girls were talking quietly to Sister Devlin.
Talking to Dorothy, he didn't look like the person who just spoke.
The dinner lasted for an hour. It was meant to be a pre-war gathering, but more importantly, it was to boost morale. Therefore, not only Granny Cassandra spoke, but the great witches also spoke individually.
When it was Shade's turn, he solemnly promised again that he would bring Megan and Audrey back safely. Then the girls complained that he had brought psychological pressure to the ladies at the table.
"Shad, you have to promise us that after the Battle of Green Lake, you will date us like before."
Miss Aurora suggested again. Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanis, who understood what she was talking about, both smiled with a blush on their faces. The red-haired duchess also wanted to laugh at first, but then she felt that she seemed to have something better.
Megan looked at them thoughtfully, while the other girls didn't quite understand what Miss Aurora said.
In short, after dinner, everyone's emotions were adjusted and they were ready to go all out to face the decisive battle tomorrow night.
Of course, you don't have to worry about washing dishes when eating in a hotel. After Shade left the restaurant, he was originally thinking about whether to visit Lesia and Ajie, who still haven't moved to the Green Lake Hotel and will only come tomorrow evening.
Lina. But Audrey stopped him on the stairs and called him to his room on the third floor to talk.
"What's wrong?"
After the door closed, Shade asked the brown-haired girl in front of him. Audrey pursed her lips and asked:
"Are you going home to rest tonight?"
"It's my last night to stay here. I want to prevent other situations from happening. Sister Devlin should have the same consideration if she stays here tonight."
A smile appeared on her face:
"Well, I agreed to spend the night here, so you can't lie. After ten o'clock tonight, I will come to your room to find you. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Since it is the last night, I have some
I want to say something to you."
She tried not to show her emotions at the moment:
"Don't tell other people that I'm coming to see you at night, otherwise, they will say that I have poor mental quality and cannot stay calm."
Shade nodded slightly, knowing that she was still a little nervous and uneasy:
"I have always been here. Just like my original promise to you, I will accompany you to the island to meet your ancestors."
The great witch of knowledge and wisdom nodded lightly, then turned around and left the room. Shade closed his eyes and decided to land on the island tomorrow with [Aiken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen]. The arrow was not easy to carry due to its size.
Carrying, if Megan and Audrey are really in danger in the end, and neither Shade nor Miss Daniste can save them, he will use the alchemy bow he bought at a high price from Old John to shoot the arrow,
Let them become "the chosen ones for wisdom and knowledge."
Of course, this is the worst outcome that Shade could imagine.
He did not leave the third floor immediately, but went to talk to Priest August and Dr. Schneider.
The doctor and the priest did not feel bored staying here at all, and they had made all preparations. Especially the doctor, who arrived in the Randall Valley two months ago and ended up getting lost in the forest. In addition to helping him in the end
Luvia didn't do anything except for a while, and she was always worried about her.
"I'm with the priest this time, so I won't get lost."
He said confidently, and then Shade noticed that the priest had a hesitant look on his face, obviously knowing how bad the doctor's luck was.
"Priest, what does that look of yours mean?"
the doctor asked hesitantly.
However, Shade did not let the priest and doctor directly participate in the battle to defend the hotel tomorrow night. On the one hand, the two were willing to help him, and he did not want the secrets they kept to be exposed so easily; on the other hand, because
The final battle will definitely begin on the island. If you save some energy in the early stage, you may be able to play a better role after dark.
Shade didn't have any plans for this night. Because he promised Audrey to spend the night in the hotel tonight, he went home early and put the things he would need tomorrow into categories in a hidden space so that he could easily access them from the basement of the Green Lake Hotel at any time.
Take.
Needless to say, weapons, potions and relics, this is not the first time that Shade has prepared for a decisive battle. In addition to his commonly used [Night Watch], [Higgs Dragon Head Stone], [Key to Yggdrasil],
He also took three [Eternal Youth Leaves], [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], [Perfume Vial of Desire], and the [Master Key] seized from the labyrinth demon Yaru.
Apart from the coins, the demon only carried this relic. Shade never understood its purpose. Fortunately, the [Master Key] was not large in size, so it was very convenient to carry it with him.
"[Spear of Kindness], poetry manuscript pages, keep these two at home. Demon Hunting Seal. Take it with you, maybe it will be useful. And [Blasphemy Cross], I absorbed it with [Soul-Draining Demon Blade] in Randall Valley.
Divinity, so this is still not used. But this time, it seems that you will not encounter the evil god. Safety first, bring it with you too. [Aiken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] I will bring it this time, [
[Source of Chaos]. The labyrinth demon is dead, but since it involves space this time and you may get lost, you have to bring it with you. [God’s Gift Box]. For safety reasons, take it with you and put it in the Green Lake Hotel. Maybe it will be useful when you need it.
"
Then he looked at the "Six Rings of Mia" placed in six ring boxes of the same style, which are the [Metamorphosis Ring], [Fish Training Ring], [Vampire Ring], and [Epidemic Doctor Ring]
, [The Ring of Immortality] and [The Ring of Mood].
The cat brought by Shade also saw these rings, wagging its tail eagerly, watching Shade pick them up one by one. However, Shade left behind the [Vampire Ring] and the [Ring of Mind] in the end.
The other four were taken away.
"this is for you."
Shade put the [Fish Training Ring] on the cat's tail to encourage the cat to learn to speak quickly.
Then I sorted out other alchemy items to bring, and finally pulled out two disaster cards [Twin Lovers] and [Shadow of the Deep Sea] from "Feliana's Notes".
Even though he knew that using the power in it would lead to disaster in advance, Shade still put them in his pocket decisively. Power is only valuable if it is used, otherwise he would bring them from the past life to the present time and space.
There is no meaning anymore.
After cleaning up, I returned to the Green Lake Hotel. I thought there would be nothing else going on tonight. I just had to wait until Megan and Audrey came over to talk about things at ten o'clock.
But as soon as he appeared in the hotel basement, the girls who guarded and maintained the core of the basement ceremony told him that Sister Devlin had something to ask him.
The nun did not want to discuss the flames on the island with Shade, but handed Shade an umbrella:
"Go out with me for a while."
"No problem. Let's go to the lake and see what's going on on the island? Or is there another strange spatial anomaly in the city?"
The nun wearing a silver eyepatch did not answer, but slipped out a roll of parchment from her sleeve. Shade knew this, it was the witches' task list.
It's now the eve of the decisive battle at Green Lake. Most of the tasks on the very long list that Shade saw when he first looked at it have been solved by the big witches and their girls. Among them are harvesting "colorful mushrooms"
There are missions where you can tell at a glance that the items are useful for exploration, and there are also missions that have nothing to do with Edwards and the others.
But since the Thirteenth Ring Time Witch thinks these tasks are useful, others will certainly not doubt it. While Shade was running around Green Lake, he also solved some things. The long golden hair of the Time Witch in the reward is still there today.
Still in his basement.
Sister Devlin invited Shade to go out on this rainy night for a task on the to-do list. But before the two of them went out holding umbrellas, the nun asked Shade to bring what he had harvested at the [Sin Mansion] so that he could dress up.
Most of the old tinder lanterns.
After they went out, there was no carriage waiting for them outside. The nun silently led the way, crossed two streets to the south, and stopped in front of an apartment building with no lights on.
This is a very ordinary three-story apartment with a loft in Green Lake City. The overall area is not large. It is squeezed between the flower shop and the second-hand bookstore. The nun turned to look at Shade. The silver eyepatch with dense patterns was on it.
Under the dim light of the gas lamp on the right, only the right corner reflected strange traces of light.
Although she didn't say anything, Shade understood what she meant. He walked up to the front steps, closed his eyes and listened to the sound. He could hardly tell that there was no heartbeat amidst the pounding of raindrops, and then he knocked on the door lock, and then
Entered directly into the foyer.
The umbrella was put away, and the flame flowing from Sister Devlin's hand evaporated the water stains on the ground and floor mats. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the neighbors, Shade did not turn on the light in the foyer, but followed him through the door.
Naturally, the nun didn’t turn on the light, after all, she didn’t need her eyes to see.
Then the nun pointed upstairs. Shade nodded. In order to maintain his image, he did not take out his shoe covers, hat and gloves, but quietly walked up the stairs. But after walking three steps, he found Dave again.
Sister Lin did not follow.
He turned around and noticed the abnormal light from the fire, and then saw that the nun was kneeling on the wooden floor of the foyer at some point, touching the slender flame in her hand to the floor.
After a silent moment, a burning bonfire formed directly in the foyer. The fire was not bright and could only illuminate a corner of the foyer, but in the dark environment and the sound of heavy rain outside the door, it was particularly reassuring.
