When Shade, who was hugging Luvia, opened his eyes on Wednesday morning, the first thing he thought of was not the "strange ceiling", but that this day had finally arrived.
Get up, let the cat out of the closet, wash up, go home to get goat milk and newspapers, and go to the hotel for dinner.
Today, Priest August and Dr. Schneider did not have dinner with Shade. They went out early in the rain. Priest August wanted to see the old ghoul Mr. Nicholas Green for the last time. The doctor heard that he had a high IQ.
He wanted to meet the corpse together - he seemed to think that the other person's psychological state was a very interesting research topic.
It was very rare that Dorothy, who should still be sleeping soundly, actually got up after seven o'clock. She, Shade and Luvia had breakfast at the same table. While Shade was reading the newspaper, the writer Miss asked Luvia.
Via:
"You spent the night at his place last night, right?"
She was not unhappy about this, but confused:
"Did Shade lock the cat in the closet again? Why didn't he put little Mia in my place? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
Shade tilted his head to look at her from behind the newspaper:
"I spent the night with Luvia and then asked you to take care of Mia. It would look more like me. How do you say that word?"
"Slutty man?"
The girl with purple eyes said with a smile. After the cat said "meow~", they laughed even happier.
Tonight is the time for the Edwards family banquet. All the actions in the past two months have been prepared for tonight. The enemy tonight is the traitor of the Prophet Association and the fortune teller Laplace who has transcended the thirteen rings.
·The Edwards family headed by Klein Howard.
Outside of the Edwards family, the [Order of the Drowned in the Abyss], which has been relatively low-key recently, the [Tyranny Club], which was recently defeated by the church, the mysterious [Truth Society], which has never shown up, and other fortune-teller alliances that Shade is not yet aware of,
All will become obstacles for him to land on the island.
In addition to the diviner himself, one-sixth of the death angel skull, [Poetry Cards], [Soul Storybook], Envy Edwards, the eldest son of the third generation who transcends time and space, and the ancient evil [Door in a Bottle], these are all
A huge danger that ordinary ring magicians cannot overcome.
This day was destined to be uneventful. News came after breakfast that the entire water of Green Lake turned green. Then, just after eight o'clock in the morning, as the rain slowed down, cracks in the sky were revealed behind the rain clouds.
, was actually observed by ordinary people in the urban area.
Outside Green Lake, the area with cracks in the sky already occupies one-third of the Old Continent. According to its characteristics of increasing dispersion speed, tonight the entire material world should be able to observe this strange "
"Astronomical phenomenon".
In the urban area of Green Lake, you can't see many people moving even on the main roads. It is obviously a working day on Wednesday, but because of the "Urban Flood Warning" issued by the city hall in advance, the city has basically shut down all work and production.
.The citizens did not know what happened, but the sense of danger passed down from generation to generation still made most people choose to huddle up at home on this rainy day and wait for the heavy rain to pass.
The phenomenon of spatial fusion is intensifying. In the eyes of ring warlocks, Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City are increasingly seeing the scenery of the cities on the other side. Even though the Prophet Association has warned in advance, and the church has relied on the church to arrange a stable space
ceremony, but before ten o'clock in the morning, two spatial fusion phenomena still occurred in the urban area, causing nearly a hundred people to become chimera-like monsters.
Although the number of people affected so far in the Green Lake Incident is far less than the "Petrified Plague" in the Randall Valley, the petrified curse can be rescued, and once a space mutation occurs, ordinary people will almost certainly die.
At 10:30 in the morning, Shade, who was discussing with Miss Aurora in the basement how to leave the island tonight if nothing happened, learned that there was an abnormal element reaction in the alley east of the Green Lake Hotel.
He immediately set off, and after rushing there with Miss Sylvia, he found that the alley that was originally used for passage was only a hundred meters long, but now it was only five meters long when observed with the naked eye.
This is not the garbage alley where Little John used to stay. In addition to the Green Lake Hotel, there are other buildings on both sides of the alley. However, those buildings were not damaged, but the space of the alley itself was compressed.
"It's a small matter, not serious. I can solve it myself."
Miss Sylvia put down her umbrella and prepared to cast a spell. Shade stepped forward and covered her head with the umbrella in his hand.
The witch smiled, and after reciting the incantation in a low voice, the power of the witch's secret technique gradually affected the surrounding space. The two stood motionless at the entrance of the alley, but saw that the alley continued to lengthen until it returned to its original length.
Miss Sylvia did not relax, but looked around seriously:
"Do you feel it?"
"Yes."
She took out the magic potion made by Megan using "Colorful Mushrooms" and controlled the droplets to enter her eyes. In just a blink of an eye, she saw the three wolves and one wolf gradually appearing in the space gap that gradually became stable.
A monster made of sheep and giant flies.
Those creatures are not simply interspersed together, but are fitted bit by bit with different parts of the animals in a way that completely violates normal human logic and aesthetics. Even though Shade has seen many monsters in this year, but
At this moment, I still feel instinctively uncomfortable because of the shape of this monster.
At this time, he even felt that the ghosts wandering between life and death in Fort Midhill were so cute and charming. After realizing his thoughts, Shade also understood more and more what his opponent was this time.
What is.
"come together."
Miss Sylvia, who was also disgusted by the weird image of the monster in front of her, said softly, and then the two of them took a step forward at the same time, and then disappeared into the rain at the same time.
The four sheep-wolf heads of the space chimera monster look in all directions of the body, and the compound eyes of the huge fly head are densely packed with thousands of small eyes, monitoring all directions at the same time.
Shade's figure appeared in front of him first, with his right foot on the ground——
"Space stabilizing halo."
He leaned forward and slashed down with the moonlight sword he held in both hands.
"Squeak buzz~squeak buzz~"
A strange sound came from the body of the terrifying monster. It tried to move in space, but the ripples caused by the push of water on the ground meant that the space stabilizing halo had been activated. So the sound waves emitted by the monster became deeper and deeper, and the huge energy driven by the sound waves evaporated.
As the rain fell on his body, Shade felt that the sword he swung was as slow as if it had sunk into the mud.
Immediately afterwards, Miss Sylvia appeared behind Shade.
The witch's palm slapped on Shade's shoulder, and Shade immediately stopped the magic of stabilizing the space. The witch behind him grabbed Shade's right arm, and then swung the sword with him.
Invisible light flashed from the rain, and immediately turned into dark blue sword marks and fell. Thaumaturgy - Dimensional Slash, was swung out with the witch's hand and Shade's sword, and the space-distorting strike and moonlight converged.
At this point, the monster that had just arrived in the material world was split into two halves.
It did not have the ability to split into two separate individuals. After the left and right parts fell into the pool on the ground, they turned into a pinch of white powder in the strange light and shadow and disappeared. Miss Sylvia took out the test tube and let those
Glass-like powder flew into the container.
These powders are consistent with the powders that Shade and the doctor obtained when he went to the island to find Lesia and killed the space chimera. After identification by Cassandra's mother-in-law, this is an extremely rare "space dust" that can be used for
Most space rituals and even thaumaturgy can be replaced by casting materials. For example, when Shade uses [Raglai's Jump], he can completely replace the "Extract of Weathervane Bluegrass" with a small amount of powder.
This is a rare material, and the source monster of this material will be like the fishmen in Coldwater Port, the undead in Fort Midhill, the plant monsters in the depths of the Pantanal Swamp, and the rock djinn in Randall Valley.
, will become an inescapable nightmare for the Green Lake area in the next few hundred years.
Although the operation started in the evening, in order to prepare in advance, after a hasty lunch, the group of people on the cruise ship heading to Megan left first, intending to drive the cruise ship currently anchored on the Duin River upstream for a certain distance.
Compared to the Green Lake Hotel, although the defense of the cruise ship is not strong, its advantage is that it has good maneuverability and can even take off on the water. Therefore, although the cruise ship only has the twelve-ring Miss Benanis and the tenth-ring Cassian,
Grandma Della and Sister Devlin of the Eleventh Ring Road, but the security there is no worse than the Green Lake Hotel. You know, Grace and Helen are also with Grandma Cassandra.
Although most of the sisters' powers were sealed due to the "Sleeping Princess", even Shade was not entirely sure how much their powers had been restored within half a year.
The guests renting at the Green Lake Hotel have been leaving temporarily due to various reasons, either voluntarily or on their own initiative. After lunch, the hotel servants, the chefs in the kitchen, and the helpers also left together.
The followers of the witches finally settled in the hotel, and Lecia and Agelina also arrived this afternoon along with many of Miss Carina's maids.
The Day of the Red Butterfly has begun, and Dorothy even took Shade downstairs to greet Lesia. Although they all regretted that they could not have an intimate and passionate three-person date with Shade this time on the Day of the Red Butterfly.
But the two of them also knew that this matter was of great importance, so they held hands, hugged little Mia, and took Agelina with them to the room upstairs that had been treated by Miss Sylvia to wait for nightfall.
Little Mia is held by Agelina. She will stay with her sister all night. After all, theoretically it is the safest place in the hotel, and the cat and the little princess are the weakest in the hotel.
of two creatures.
