The time was too long. Even if Shade had the ability to open the mystery lock again, she would not be able to go back to the time when she first entered the sea of sand.
"Yes, that's good."
Spots of light continued to float out of her body. Miss Knight looked at the old elf:
"Please find the witch and use the heart of the oasis to save my country."
"I will."
The sobbing old man promised, and a smile finally appeared on the female knight's pale face.
She reluctantly pointed to her own long sword that fell on the sand next to her:
"Your original trophy is gone. This is given to you as a gift."
During the process of the witch's awakening, the originally ordinary long sword and scabbard also changed. There was a blue gem on the hilt, and the scabbard turned into a golden-blue enamel. Although it was still an ordinary item
, but it is also the most precious gift she left behind.
"I will always remember you."
Shade bent down and picked up the sword.
"Live well, you have a life that I envy."
She said to the mermaid girl who was already crying even though she could not figure out the situation. Her body had become completely transparent at this moment, but she did not regret it at all:
"Please don't cry for me, all my life goals have been achieved. I found the heart of the oasis, I became the witch I longed for when I was a child, I solved the power that could pollute the world, and I became a hero."
Shade held the warm sword and tried not to lose his composure:
"Do you have any other wishes?"
The girl shook her head slightly and looked at all the companions she met at the end of her life with a smile:
"My perseverance, my justice, my wishes, everything has come true. This life is very good."
She finally looked at Miss Meister:
"Thank you, God, may I know who you are?"
The lady with light brown skin smiled and nodded, her expression extremely gentle:
"People call me Lady Misty. Go to sleep, dear child, and go to the finish line to sleep peacefully. Maybe someone will wake you up in the future, but at least now, all your tasks are completed."
Shelly Knight smiled at the saint one last time, and then her body and soul emitted light. Shade split the air, and the light points flew into the black cracks. The female knight with her whole body shining stood in front of her.
On the calm water behind the crack, he smiled and waved to everyone, then turned around and walked gracefully towards the silver moon that was half submerged in the water.
Grandma Siam covered her face and burst into tears. The blue-haired mermaid kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, but she still remembered to bend down to comfort the old elf.
The team of five "people" was reduced to four people. When Miss Sandel helped Granny Siam Nord return to the bonfire, Miss Shade and Miss Meister stood where they were but did not move.
He knew that this god was also leaving here. He pursed his lips, trying not to express the sadness of Miss Knight's departure too much. He lowered his head slightly:
"Anyway, ma'am, thank you for your help along the way. Without you, we certainly wouldn't be able to get to this point."
The lady with light brown skin looked at him:
"Thank you? Just thank you?"
"I"
"Of course I'm joking."
He said with a smile, interrupting Shade's explanation:
"Because of your appearance, the three illusions they brought to me were more exciting than before. Although you did ask for a lot, who made you really capable, stranger."
Shade nodded slightly:
"Actually, I also want to do something for you. This seems a bit arrogant. Do you still have believers in the next era?"
"None of that matters."
He looked up at the bright moon over the desert. The silver-white moonlight shone on his face, and Shade couldn't see his expression clearly:
"Everything in the fog is vague. Don't believe any speculation until you get to the truth. Don't believe it even if it's the speculation of those closest to you."
He seemed to want to remind Shade something, but before Shade could speak, he said:
"Stranger, I am the mist in the dark night under the moon. I cannot guide you to the future. But at least before the future comes, be careful and don't be fooled by the mist like me. Although the story of the mermaid is beautiful, don't let it."
The mermaid' seduces you."
His slender fingers pointed at Shade's forehead, and "her" voice came to his ears:
[Outlander, you have accepted the blessing of the "God of Mists".
[The indistinguishable fog protects your soul, and the soul-like influences you receive will be greatly weakened. 】
After a moment of pause——
【May you never be confused in the fog.】
Shade wanted to say thanks, but found that the figure was no longer around him, leaving only a lonely fog door standing in the desert. The door looked like an upright pupil. Shade just took a look and knew it was
Let Granny Siam and Miss Sandel leave this desert passage.
He opened his mouth in despair, but in the end he just raised his hand and casually touched the cat with its head sticking out of his chest.
Following the footsteps of the two of them, he turned around and returned to the campfire. Only the last three minutes of the hour were left.
Grandma Siam Nod had stopped sobbing at this time, and Miss Sandel was still comforting her.
The old elf raised his head and looked at Shade:
"God has left, and you are leaving too, right?"
"Yes."
Shade sat down by the campfire again:
"I won't leave until you all leave. The lady left the door open."
He pointed to the fog gate not far away:
"However, there is only one Heart of Oasis here. What will you do when you go back?"
"No need to worry about this."
Siam Nord’s mother-in-law naturally had plans:
"We talked about this matter many times while you were away. I will take it back to St. Byrons, and then St. Byrons and Zarath Academy of Literature will come forward to let the Witch Emperor go directly to help Miss Knight's country.
It's just a curse from the devil. Even if the ancient evil spirit appears, the ladies of the council will still have ways to deal with it."
This was the luxury of the great witches in the heyday of the Fifth Age.
"Sander's matter is also easy to solve. Since her mother wanted to use the gift to decide who can become the next generation king, she asked the professors of the college to accompany her and return to her underwater kingdom with this crystal.
Her aging mother is the highest-level witch in the entire country, only level 11, and her sisters are none of the higher-level witches. After Sandel gave her birthday gift, the professors bought it back in the name of Zarath Academy of Literature.
, I think no one will refuse."
Shade felt that he would not dare to refuse.
"Then I will go to St. Byrons to study."
The blue-haired mermaid girl also said with red eyes. With the merit of bringing back the "Heart of the Oasis" and the fact that the entire Yuexi clan wanted to join St. Byrons, it would be no problem for her to enroll in St. Byrons Comprehensive College.
"This is so that when you go back, I don't know how many things you can remember here, but please don't forget Miss Knight, please don't forget."
Grandma Siam Nord and Miss Sandel both nodded, so Shade restored the other supplies of the team that were temporarily stored with him, put them in boxes and moved them to the fog door. He would not take anything away, only
Take the sword Miss Knight left him.
Granny Siam and Miss Sandel supported each other and left the bonfire, casting spells to make the boxes float.
There are only three people left in the five-person team, and now there are only two people who are leaving here. Shade can actually go behind the fog door to take a look, but there is no need. He has no acquaintances in today's era, and there is no need for him to let himself go.
The emergence of further perturbs the balance of time.
Before parting, the mermaid girl asked one last question under the moon:
"Why are you not surprised at all that Miss Meister is a great person?"
She sniffed sharply:
"And how did you find out? What happened just now? How come even Miss Knight knew about it?"
Shade thought that Miss Knight and Granny Siam Nord knew the identity of the lady through the illusion. Unexpectedly, the old elf curiously asked her:
"I thought you already knew that?"
"What?"
"What?"
The first sentence is a question from the surprised Miss Sandel, and the second sentence is Shade's surprise because he "knew it a long time ago":
"Wait a minute, Granny Siam, did you already know that Miss Meister is a god?"
"Of course, didn't Miss Knight already know that? The blessing that the lady gave was not a secret skill that the desert tribes could possess, and she didn't even sweat when she walked in the sun. When you first came here, you were originally
We couldn't understand what you said, but we understood it as soon as she stretched out her hand. Is this normal?"
The old elf asked back, adding:
"And Miss Knight also said when she told the story that she and you both wore armor and entered the church, but Miss Meister was not mentioned. These facts are so obvious. Sandel, you didn't realize that something was wrong with these things.
?"
The somewhat confused blue-haired girl then made a look of realization:
"So there's nothing wrong with this? I thought Miss Meister was very powerful."
Shade was even more surprised:
"Wait a minute, I thought it was her power that made you subconsciously ignore these things. Wait a minute, Granny Siam Nord, since you and Miss Knight already knew that the lady was a god, why didn't you tell them?"
Grandma Siam Nord looked at him even more surprised:
"A god deliberately pretends to be a mortal and appears next to us, getting along and communicating with us like ordinary people. How crazy must Nate and I be to take the initiative to expose him?"
This sentence makes so much sense. Shade blinked, then nodded, then turned to look at the desert under the moonlight:
"So, Miss Meister actually didn't disguise herself at all? Except for Miss Sandel who didn't see it because she was naive, everyone actually knew it, but no one said anything?"
At this moment, the image of the "God of Mists" seemed to be clearer, but it also became more blurry.
