"The information on the Ancient Era is of course good, but I haven't finished reading all the books and texts on Green Island. If I get more books, it will probably take me longer to read them all."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Luvia smiled and looked at Shade, of course, mainly looking down:
"It's better to have you stay at home or on the island reading a book all day long than to have you running around, maybe you will run into the arms of a strange witch again."
Even Iluna laughed, the joke was indeed funny:
"Luvia, Shade, I have to go back to the church in a while, so I won't stay here any longer.
Oh, Shade, there is also the [Dragon Feast Sacrificial Site] and the trophies at the sacrificial site. The church also wants to discuss it with you, but I don’t think you care about these things. Let Carina and the others communicate with the church.
, enjoy the rest of your vacation.”
She also saw that Shade wanted to take a break:
"Then let's meet in Tobesk, just like before, just the three of us, to talk about this matter."
"Okay, see you in Tobesk, I'll wait for you when you get back."
A bright smile appeared on Iluna's face:
"Then I'll go find Emilia. I heard she's leaving soon? This is my first elf friend. I don't know when we can meet again after leaving this time. I'm also prepared.
Here’s the gift for her.”
After saying that, he left here. Shade curiously asked Luvia:
"I know she and Emilia became friends, but when did their relationship become so good?"
"It seems that there was a banquet on the ship before the decisive battle. Illuna, Emilia, and Agelina had a lot of fun together."
Luvia said, then she pursed her lips and asked with a smile:
"Guess, Agelina will also give Iluna some 'storybooks' as gifts?"
"Maybe? How do you know?"
Shade asked in surprise:
"Isn't this Agelina's secret? I thought only Dorothy and I knew it, but that's not right. Lesia shouldn't tell Agelina's secret casually."
Luvia used her fingers to tease the hair around her ears:
"Dorothy and Lesia told me everything, and she even asked me for advice on the education of Agelina.
Regarding Agelina Cavendish, I can't ignore everything. Her powerful perception and special core spirit runes before she became a ring sorcerer make me, a diviner, very concerned."
"Louvia, don't think about such distant things, I have everything."
Shade hugged her. The purple-eyed girl was very satisfied with his performance:
"Then we'll discuss Agelina's issue later. Now I want to talk about your matter."
"What's wrong with me?"
"What happened last night."
There was a smile in his tone.
"Last night was fine."
"Speaking of which, since last Sunday was free, Sunday night belonged to Lecia and the four of them. On Monday, you were taken away by Sylvia and Aurora. Last night, you tasted new food in Randall Valley.
Witch. We have agreed tonight that it will finally be my turn, right?"
Although she didn't seem to care on the surface, no matter how stupid Shade was, he knew that he could never ignore her again tonight.
But at least Luvia didn't think about what she and Shad would do during the day. She just reminded Shad not to forget to take care of Vanessa's mood. She couldn't do that last night and not visit her all day.
.
Nowadays, most of the girls from the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe have moved back to the "Goethe Hotel" in the center of Moon Bay, but Vanessa and Sirius still have their own rooms on the ship.
Shade remembered that after lunch they said they wanted to take a rest before leaving, so he took the initiative to find Vanessa's room.
Of course he knocked on the door like a gentleman first, but did not get any reply. Just when he was wondering if Vanessa had left, the door automatically opened silently in front of Shade:
"Like a horror story."
He muttered something in his mind, then opened the door and walked in.
But there was no one in the room, but there was a piece of translucent silver silk hanging on the wall to the right of the door.
"I remember this is a magical item made by Siris. It is a curtain that can be used to restore memory scenes."
Shade recognized what it was, and when he was curious about what Vanessa was looking at with the curtain, Sirius and Vanessa walked out from behind the curtain together.
They seemed to have been communicating in a low voice just now. After seeing Shade, they all seemed to be shocked and immediately closed their mouths. Among them, Vanessa's face was the reddest, and she even stuttered a little when she spoke:
"Shad, good afternoon, what's wrong with you, Siris? Didn't you lock the door?"
"Maybe I forgot."
The young blonde girl said, although she was also blushing, she still winked at Shade playfully:
"Xia De, are you satisfied with last night's performance? Although I am not the leading actor, I choreographed the opera."
"Of course I am satisfied, I mean very satisfied, very artistic."
Vanessa's face turned even redder now, and Shade was also a little embarrassed.
Sirius nodded with satisfaction:
"As long as you feel satisfied, it's not in vain that we have been preparing for so long. I won't disturb you anymore. I know that you two young lovers have some private words to say now."
"Sirius~"
Vanessa complained softly, and the young blonde girl smiled and avoided her hand and walked towards the door of the room, which was in the direction of Shade.
She did not leave directly, but after walking up to Shade, she opened her arms generously and hugged him, and then kissed Shade quite passionately in front of Vanessa.
After the kiss, she wiped her lips, then turned to the witch and said:
"Vanessa, you won't be angry, will you?"
"of course not."
The witch answered like this, and then watched Sirius walk out of the room briskly, not even forgetting to close the door.
"Really, who is the witch?"
She opened her arms and hugged Shade as well, and asked a little aggrievedly:
"Xilis treated me like this, didn't you say something?"
"Given that you are all professional actors, I have reason to believe that this is part of the performance, or that Sirius suddenly awakened to a weird hobby. Speaking of which, what memories were you watching just now?"
Shade asked curiously again. Vanessa immediately stopped him from looking at the floating curtain and said "aggressively":
"Don't say that about Sirius, she has done a lot for us. Oh, you did that to me last night, and you left without waiting for me this morning?"
She was not really angry with Shade, and Shade was indeed busy at the time:
"Don't explain to me. Knight, now I want to punish you."
"What's the punishment?"
"Can you say you like me?"
"I love you, Vanessa."
He looked into her eyes, and the opera singer immediately blushed again:
"Knight, you actually dare to take the initiative to use evil magic to charm me. It seems that I can't punish you properly. Come on, follow me."
As he said that, he pulled Shade towards the bedroom in the suite:
"You won last night, but I will prove to you that witches cannot be underestimated."
But in the end, she obviously lost. Strictly speaking, Vanessa is currently at level 5, but even if we only compare her physical fitness, she is no match for the 8th Ring Outsider.
Of course, it was two hours later that the winner was decided. At that time, the witch with a blush on her face hugged Shade's arm and just complained in her heart about how she could not have the courage until now.
As for meeting Joy Barton and Ms. Marilyn Hendel, it will be this Wednesday evening.
The end of summer has arrived, and the evening wind is already somewhat cool.
In the Spider Hotel in Spider Alley, the sunset outside was almost gone, so a kerosene lamp was lit in the dilapidated Spider Hotel. However, the flame of the kerosene lamp was really weak, and there was a layer of greasy stains on the surface of the lampshade, which made it difficult to tell.
Are these lamps older, or are the wine-stained wooden tables older?
The two parties who met chose to sit against the wall, Shade and Luvia sat on the same side, and Joy Barton and Ms. Marilyn Hendel sat on the other side.
There is a candlestick placed on the table between the four people, but under the light of the candlestick, the one with a shadow is Joy Barton, and the one with no shadow is Marilyn Hendel.
"So, now you can share your lives with each other?"
Shade asked curiously. The couple across the table looked at each other with sweet expressions:
"It's not sharing, it's just realizing the mutual transformation of life and death between us.
We learned this skill at the sacrificial site after seeing the Silver Moon God you summoned fight back against the evil god by converting light and darkness."
Joey Barton, in his living form, said that now he is free of the "reverse growth" curse and looks like Ms. Handel in her thirties, rather than the child she looked like when Shade met him in Middleburgh.
It's just that although he looks normal, his eyes are pure black.
"Joy and I were thinking at that time, if darkness and light can transform into each other, then death and life can too."
Ms. Handel said softly, her current soul state:
"But we also got the help of Sister Devlin. Before the nun left Yuewan in a hurry, she gave us the temperature of the first fire so that life would not pass too much during this transition between life and death. The nun was very nice.
.”
"Please allow me to thank you for coming to help this time."
Shade said sincerely, while Luvia asked:
"Now that the edge of life and death in the city has been completely sealed by you, what are you going to do next? Or travel around the old continent?"
Joey Barton nodded slightly, staring at the flames in the oil lamp with some absent-minded eyes:
"She and I can still only live one, and we can't even die at the same time, so the task of attracting souls to reduce the curse is still not over. We can feel that there will be more deaths in the future. Even in this world."
