Baron Cumming also has his own way to return to 1854. This method is not universal, but a method designed by the hermits to deal with his "time curse".
But this method also requires the book "Opening the Door to the Forest: Our Animal Companions", so before the two left, they had to return the book to where it should be. When Shade explained that he wanted to go back, the Baron also
Getting up means going back together.
He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Ogg and others, and then hugged everyone, saying goodbye forever:
"I will never come again. This gentleman took away the book and these things are over."
"I hope your life can return to peace in the future."
The hermits drew the Holy Emblem on their chests because they believed in the "White Holy Tree, the God of Luck", so such blessings might be useful.
Later, Mr. Ogg used those magical tree holes to take Shade and the Baron directly to the edge of the town. Shade also said goodbye to these hermits from the past who would probably never see each other again, so the owl turned into a mouse and crawled.
into his pocket, and before the end of forty minutes, Shade and the Baron successfully returned to Erica's family's house.
Of course, the house they lived in was not a manor, but the house was not small. It happened that when Shade and the others came back, the family who had just been away from home also came back.
As a result, Shade met Erica Cumming of this era, or Erica Wood who is still called Erica Wood. Of course, this "Wood" has nothing to do with the "Wood Family" in Moon Bay City, which is not uncommon.
Surname.
Erica Wood is twenty years old this year and has beautiful black hair. Although her appearance is not particularly outstanding, the dimples on her cheeks are very beautiful when she smiles.
Shade and the Baron stood on the stairs watching the family interact in the living room, their figures obscured by illusions.
"I'm indeed pregnant. It looks like I'm about two months old."
"Yes, it's two months before my mother and father's wedding. I don't think my father knew that I was not his biological son until his death."
The middle-aged man said softly, staring at his mother's belly, but nothing could be seen there yet.
Shade guessed that he must have a lot of thoughts and emotions at the moment, but Shade did not ask about these:
"Have you ever met your mother? I mean in this day and age, talked to her about what's going to happen in the future, or just passed her by."
Baron Cumming shook his head:
"I have never done this kind of thing, so it makes no sense. My mother already has too many secrets in her life, and there is no need for me to give her more secrets. Besides, our family's affairs are already chaotic enough, and there is no need to add extraneous matters."
Shade smiled and said:
"I sincerely hope that the residents of Ximu Town have the same awareness as you. Then let's go. When we return to your house in a while, I will take the book away. This is the last time you will see your mother.
"
Shade didn't say anything more, but turned around and went upstairs, with Baron Cumming following behind him. However, after he took a few steps up, he looked back at the living room downstairs. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said silently:
"Goodbye, mother."
Then he followed Shade upstairs.
Erica Wood, who was talking to her parents about a poem she had recently written in the living room, somehow turned her head and looked at the stairs of her house.
Of course there was nothing there, so she turned around and continued the conversation with her family, but still subconsciously put her hand on her belly.
The final farewell has been completed, and new life will be born soon. Then, there is another story about Kane Cumming's search for the truth and maintaining the stability of time.
According to Sir Cumming's "time curse" characteristics, the hermits found for him the cheapest way to travel through tree holes, which was to use a knife with a gold content of 50% to 60% to cut his skin, and then drip blood on the written
On the door.
In order not to affect his daily actions, the Baron would not cut his fingers, but randomly take blood from his arms. He left first, and then Shade turned the mouse lady in his pocket into a toy, then took out the key and placed it in time and space.
In the brief moment of transition, the drawer was closed and locked.
So both of them successfully returned to the room belonging to James Cumming in Morris Mansion in the autumn of 1854. Baron Cumming took out the key from his pocket and opened the "son's" drawer.
"Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions", which had only one chance of normal use, was handed to him.
Xia De was not polite, he just took the book and asked again:
"Would you talk to James Cumming about this?"
Baron Cumming shook his head. He had already thought about these things:
"I know too much, that's why I'm so troubled. James shouldn't be like me. He doesn't know anything but is just broken in love. Although this will bring him long-term pain, for the whole life, this kind of pain is the most important thing."
Sooner or later it will disappear."
He locked the drawer again with his own hands, and it seemed as if he had locked up his whole life:
"I let him suddenly get this book. Now if he suddenly loses it, I have completed the final mission."
??????55.??????
"Then you have to keep an eye on him. People from the church looked for him a few days ago. I don't want him to end up going to the church and saying that he lost a time tunnel."
Baron Cumming nodded to express his understanding:
"The time we agreed on for handing over the box was the 28th of the Harvest Month of 1854, which I proposed myself, which was this Sunday. At 11 o'clock in the morning, at the railroad track at the intersection outside the village in the north of Ximu Town.
It was the town’s original railroad track.”
After he explained the location in detail, Shade said:
"Does the other party know who you were in 1854?"
The baron shook his head:
"I probably didn't know it at the time, but the other person had seen my face fifty years ago. I think he would have determined who I was in recent years. After all, I am a businessman and many people know me."
Shade glanced out the window. The girls who had been monitoring the Morris mansion recently did not say that anyone was also monitoring this place, so there was a high probability that the person did not come:
"Okay, you don't need to go on Sunday, I can go by myself. I will take the box away, and you can still do your own thing locally. If the other party comes to see you in the past two days, just say that the box was taken away.
, if he hurts you, he'll never get the box."
Shade explained, and after making sure the baron understood, he warned:
"Don't leave Ximu Town. Things here are not over yet. I will come back to you and James Cumming after I finish solving the box problem. Don't even think about avoiding me."
After all, there is at least one "paradox bug" in this matter, and whether that bug is on the Baron or little Cumming, Shade wants to deal with it after solving the owner of the box and thoroughly understanding the whole matter.
When I left the Morris Mansion with the book, it was already around 4:30 in the afternoon. Shade restored "Miss Mouse" back, so the mouse turned into a cat and ran on Shade's shoulder:
"Your thaumaturgy is really terrifying. In theory, this is the best sealing technique. I was so confused just now that I didn't know anything, and I couldn't even detect time. If you want to torture someone, turn them into toys and throw them into the window.
This is the best punishment."
"Now on the street, please shut up, Miss Cat."
Shade warned, knowing that Baron Cumming was looking at his back from the window without turning around.
"Oh, now you not only have to take care of your own teacher, but you also have to take care of me, right?"
The cat asked with a smile, and then said:
"I'm going to tell Denister about how you touched me today!"
Shade didn't say "I didn't," because he did:
"You don't want to play this little tantrum game with me, do you?"
But the "Cat Lady" on her shoulder smiled happily:
"Of course not, but I want the witch in the council who is good at divination to divine your origin. Young knight, I will definitely find out all your secrets. I haven't met someone as interesting as you in a long time."
The cat's tail poked his neck. If little Mia had done this, Shade would have rubbed its little head violently.
He ducked into the alley, and soon after, the round-faced owl once again grabbed the beautiful silver cat and flew high into the sky.
This afternoon's experience was indeed bizarre, and Baron Cumming's story was even more tortuous but interesting. Therefore, not only did Miss Daniste and Miss Bell listen to the two of them telling stories in the evening, but this evening, they also listened to Shade's story at the dinner table.
Carina, Vanessa, Siris and Luvia were all attracted to the story.
"As an ordinary person, that baron has really done a lot of things."
The purple-eyed fortune teller commented, and thus suspected:
"Shad, is Baron Cumming really telling the truth?"
"At least Miss Winslet and I both feel that he told the truth. Don't worry, Miss Winslet's followers are still watching him, and he can't escape."
Shade said, while Vanessa looked at Shade under the candlelight - this sounds strange, but Shade was indeed having a candlelight dinner with the four girls. Tifa took the maids to prepare the dinner, and little Mia
Then he lay very well-behaved next to Shade's hand.
"Your story lacks many details, such as how Flora, who has been following you, participated in the investigation. I think this answer can also explain why little Mia kept talking to you before eating after you came back today.
Losing his temper."
In the evening, the cat suddenly discovered that his "spot" was occupied by another cat.
"Should we still use Shade to answer this question?"
The duchess had a smile on her delicate face. They are all smart and understand Shade:
"It must be that the owl transformed by Flora stood on Shade's shoulder, so little Mia lost her temper. Oh, Sirius, do you think Shade subconsciously touched the owl once or twice?"
The young blonde girl smiled reservedly. She was not a witch apprentice and had no superior-subordinate relationship with the witches, so she spoke naturally:
"Judging from Shade's expression now, he must have been touched."
