"Miss Daniste can see these fogs, but Miss Charlotte Bell and the others can't see that they need the gift of time or are cursed by time?"
Shade frowned and thought.
At this time, a full three hours had passed since Shade arrived at the Accordion Hotel, so it was already afternoon. Shade didn't know what the rules of the time change were, but it was obvious that Miss Winslet's 321
The matter in room No. 1 is still unresolved because it is still blank in "enhanced spatial awareness".
The white fog in Room 317 was gradually dissipating, but when Shade unconsciously glanced out the window, he discovered that the entire city of Vista within his field of vision was actually shrouded in this mist.
Ordinary people on the street obviously still cannot see the fog, so the street is still very lively, as if the audience of the afternoon "Golden Hall Concert" is entering the venue.
And when Shade opened the door and took Miss Daniste to the corridor, only Miss Bell, the witch apprentice, was left in the corridor filled with white mist.
She was surprised to see Shade and Miss Denister pushing the door out of Room 317:
"You guys are out! The matter has been resolved, right?"
"It's just that the 317 matter has been resolved. What's going on with the fog outside?"
Shade asked. Miss Bell was confused for a moment, and then answered:
"I still can't see the fog you mentioned, but it should be spreading outside as time goes by, right? I was worried that someone could see the fog and track it down, but no one has appeared until now."
According to "her", the fog under her feet is not an entity, but a phenomenon caused by the influence of time on space. Therefore, it is not flowing, but slowly growing in stillness. Since Miss Danister can also see this fog, Xia
Deben was very sure that someone in the city could detect the abnormality, but he had not yet traced it here.
"This is for you. About forty minutes ago, these appeared out of thin air in front of the door."
Miss Bell handed him the note in her hand and a gold ring that was very familiar to Shade.
The handwriting on the note was clearly Miss Winslet's -
[We have encountered some troubles, very dangerous enemies, but we can deal with them for the time being. The method you gave us: use the ring to enter the parliament, let the corridor connect with the hotel corridor, and induce the fog to enter the corridor. The signature on the back of the note will guide us in the direction.]
On the back of the note is "Adele Isabella" written in cursive letters, which is the autograph of the thirteenth-level witch.
Miss Daniste may not understand the meaning, but Shade knows that this refers to the masonry corridor that will appear after singing the "Witch's Song". At the end of the corridor is the white mist door leading to the [Witch Council].
He still doesn't know where that tunnel is. He only knows that he accidentally established the night passage connecting "Eternal Night City" and "Randall Valley" when he used the mystery lock to take Fiona away in "Eternal Night City".
Similar corridors also appeared.
But this does not prevent him from knowing that this method may actually work:
"Which one of the six ancient witch rings is this ring? Did you try it just now?"
Shade asked Miss Xiang Bell again, who was a little surprised that Shade also knew this:
"I want to ask you to find other witches to help me. I tried just now, but the white mist refused to enter the corridor. This is the lady's ring, [ancient witch's gold ring, third from right]."
"There's no need to look for other witches. Aren't I here? I'll do it."
He said this, but Miss Bell was very alarmed:
"But I'm not officially a great witch. I don't know if I can lead you into that."
"I'm not asking you to take me in, I'm telling you to go in by myself and you two will wait for me outside."
As he spoke, he put the gold ring on his finger. He touched the ring lightly, and a bright golden light flashed past.
Shade ignored the astonishment of the young black-haired girl and the doubts of Miss Danister. Instead, he rummaged in his pocket and bought the medicine that Priest August gave him last Saturday that could "permanently purify the soul and remove the curse."
" took out the magic potion "Elixir":
"Miss Denister, take this. If you really need to fight, drink this potion and try it. It may not be effective, but at least it won't be harmful."
As for the two umbilical cords, Shade took them with him. Miss Winslet might need them:
"I'll set off now. You guys go to 317 first. I remember to ask that no one be around when entering that corridor."
He was about to start singing, but Miss Charlotte Bell grabbed his wrist and stared at him:
"Mr. Watson, who are you?"
"I am male, as many people can attest to."
The simple witch apprentice still didn't understand, but she still followed Miss Danister to room 317 temporarily.
Shade lowered his head and glanced at the ring on his hand, and prayed softly, hoping that when he sang later, no residents on both sides of the corridor would open the door, and then he stepped forward:
"The princess in the castle will not understand that freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue."
"When you meet a witch at a intersection full of lavender, where are you going to pick that handful of herbs?"
A sudden wind blew from the window at the end of the corridor. The wind was not violent, but the light seemed to be blown by the wind, and the large shadows were gradually suppressing the light of the autumn afternoon.
"Hold the snow on the top of the snow mountain and watch the sun in the depths of the desert."
"If you can meet us, dear girl~~"
The wooden floor of the hotel is naturally blending with the stone tile floor of the corridor in the shadow, and the white mist lingering under the feet dissipates as Shade advances, but the fact is that as the corridor gradually replaces the scenery of the corridor
, the white mist did not enter the corridor.
This is the situation that Miss Bell encountered just now, but the difference between Shade and the witch apprentice is that Shade has the gift of time.
As he sang the song, he recited the incantation silently in his heart, and the black key of time turned into the staff of Yggdrasil in his hand.
The bottom of the long staff touched the fog layer below and the white ash attached to the floor of the corridor. Shade even simply tried to drag the long staff forward, and the originally fluid fog was actually driven forward.
.
[The Staff of Yectrasil] indeed has a very strong time effect.
"Please call our names softly and ask your questions."
"Where the lilies bloom, or where the sunflowers look to the west."
There was no very clear boundary between the long and narrow masonry corridor and the hotel corridor. It seemed that with just one step forward, he had completely entered the corridor illuminated by torches on both sides.
In the dim light of torches that seemed to never go out, the thick fog was rapidly expanding until its density was almost similar to that of a hotel corridor. The ground was covered with white ash, leaving clear footprints of Shade's as he walked in the narrow and dilapidated corridors.
Shade knew he had succeeded, and his song soon came to an end:
"Please put on your beautiful dress and hold up the purple thyme."
"The people who love you and the people you love are all here, this palace filled with sunshine."
[Foreigners, the concept of time is being seriously confused, please don’t use the power of time here easily.]
[Foreigners, please do not use the space jump ability here, otherwise it is very likely to enter a random time point. 】
Shade, who was standing in the mist corridor, looked forward. Silk-like white mist floated out from the white mist door. This was the door leading to the [Witch Council]. He lowered his head again and looked at the paper in his hand that read "
Adele Isabella" signed the note. When he looked up again, to his left, the hotel door with house number 321 was already embedded in the side wall of the corridor.
Even though he hadn't done anything yet, he had a premonition that he could open the door with just a slight push.
But before he did so, "she" in his ear said again:
【Pocket watch.】
"What?"
The stranger frowned slightly, but still touched the silver lady's pocket watch in his pocket, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at his feet.
On the white ash covering the stone bricks, a white glowing light mark half a palm wide suddenly appeared there. The luminous runes had a steady light, and Shade certainly knew what it was:
"But, how come this is the entrance to the Witch Council, time is seriously confused here, and the signature on the note in my hand has Isabella's power... How can it still be like this? Then if I cause such a time confusion accident again,
Is it still possible?”
[Please do not destroy the stability of time at will.]
"She" reminded gently, Xia De was in a daze for a moment, and then asked again:
"The person I called out with this rune shouldn't be the Adele behind the door, right?"
"She" just chuckled, and Shade knew the answer. He took a step back and said in the most standard Drarian language:
"Adele Isabella!"
As the voice fell, the glowing runes emitted more intense white light upwards. In the floating white light and shadow, the blond lady kneeling on one knee appeared.
She stood up slowly while holding up the hem of her skirt. When she raised her head and saw Sha De, Sha De also saw her beautiful and delicate face with the tear mole under her right eye again. Her golden eyes looked at him, and both of them looked at him.
Knowing that the other person has thousands of things they want to say:
"Long time no see, Shade. Since the Battle of Moon Bay, I have been looking forward to you calling me again. In a moment, you want to talk to me about how you defeated me after I left."
The smiling lady, with her long blond hair hanging loosely behind her, was still greeting Shade, but then she looked around in surprise:
"Wait, it's not St. Teresa's Square, this is But after the end of the world, didn't this place collapse? Wait, the time is wrong, and you found a way to call me out in this world!"
Adele knew the corridor and the fog door, but she obviously did not know the door of Room 321.
"Adele, I need your help again."
