Mrs. Nelson sat up hurriedly. Although her husband was beside her, she saw the strange young man and the two witches looking at her, so she became even more confused:
"What exactly happened here?"
Ms. Bullock looked at Shade and was hesitant to speak. She was very curious about what Shade had to do to convince the "boatman" to help, but Shade was unwilling to talk about it:
"Hello, madam, you are lost here, the past is not important. Forget all this, prepare to leave now, I will take you back."
The woman nodded slowly:
"Okay, thank you so much. I just remember a pair of purple eyes looking at me. Is that lady also lost?"
"Well I have rescued her."
So maybe Adele is right. As long as there is no answer to anything related to the end of the world, there is a high probability that it is related to Luvia:
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore and get ready to go home."
Shade raised his voice slightly and stood up to let everyone around the campfire pay attention to him:
"We can meet here because everyone has their own reasons. But no matter what, now life has become meaningful again and life has new goals. It's time to go back. I hope you won't set foot here again.
.”
Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen hugged each other and thanked them again. Ms. McConaughey nodded quickly, and Ms. Bullock was a little uninterested. But thinking that she would spend the rest of her life looking for a way to see her sister after death, she felt a long-lost feeling in her heart.
The sense of anticipation emerged again:
"I want to pass on the legend that witches will meet special men who fall from the sky in times of crisis. I don't know what the girls will think of him in the future."
The bonfire was originally here, and no one needed to deal with it. Except for a small amount of daily necessities, they had nothing to take away. Even the things dug out from under the sand, except for what Ms. Bullock planned to take away.
Apart from the Demon Hunting Seal, everything else was left behind:
"The legacy of the witchers cannot be left here."
Therefore, after Shade stated that he could leave, Mr. Nelson supported his wife, and Ms. Bullock and Miss McConaughey walked side by side, and they all followed Shade to the pier of the pier.
But Shade did not let them board the boat immediately. Instead, he touched the cat, and then rummaged through his pocket to find some bone meal. After scattering the bone meal into the black water under the pier, amid the purring sound, his little cat
The boat also emerged.
Shade's boat was smaller than the "Boatman's" wooden boat, but equally crude. He maneuvered his boat to the stern of the "Boatman's" boat, and then used the "Sin Chain" to connect the two boats prow and stern.
After doing this, he motioned for everyone to board the boat. Because the space became larger, there was no need for everyone to squeeze together. Finally, Mr. Nelson and his wife sat on the boatman's boat, while the two witches sat on the Shade
on the boat.
So the stern of the boat where the boatman originally stood became the end of the small fleet. After Shade took the strong wooden oar from him, the "boatman" himself sat directly on his small boat.
On the boat, face to face with the Nelsons.
Shade finally asked:
"The last few times I came to punt, I re-traveled the routes you have already taken. But I have never been to the correct time point corresponding to them. Won't you teach me some skills?"
But it seems that the "Boatman"'s teaching skills are the same as Ms. Bullock's just now. They demonstrate it once and assume that Shade can master it, so God did not answer this question.
So Shade changed his statement:
"I at least need to know where the destination is. I've never been there."
The tall figure in black robe who sat down pointed at the thirteenth-level witch sitting at the front of the fleet. Shade sighed:
"I understand, but if I really take the wrong path later, please remind me in time."
He returned to his boat:
"Ms. Bullock, can I borrow some of your hair to use as a beacon? I need to locate our destination."
Witches have mentioned many times that their hair is the best material for witch secret spells, and it can also represent themselves to a certain extent.
Ms. Bullock then took three long hairs and handed them to Shade. Shade wrapped them around his wrist, then took the oar to the bow of the boat. She gently stroked the cat on her shoulder and saw that it was not there.
Willing to go back to the pocket and not forced:
"Everyone, sit down, let's go."
The oars entered the water and moved backwards, so the fleet sailed out of the pier lightly.
At this time, the people on the boat turned back to look at the beach, pier and bonfire that were gradually becoming blurry. Then when they looked towards the direction of the boat, all they saw was boundless darkness.
There is no ticket for this journey. The "boatman" asked Shade to carry everyone back. The oars and two strange boats in his hands traveled farther and farther in the boundless waters under Shade's control. Although Shade
He was very worried that he would not be able to find the route, but fortunately he had already actively tried to "travel through space" in the real world.
So after the boat completely sailed away from the dock, he tried to grasp that feeling again. No one spoke, even the cat just squatted on his shoulder and looked around.
At a certain moment, heavy fog appeared from the darkness ahead. When the boat sailed into the thick fog, the stranger finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately it was successful."
He continued to row the oar in his hand, and the small fleet of boats continued to move forward in the fog amidst the sound of water. As the thick fog suddenly disappeared at a certain moment, the moonlight illuminated the fleet of boats appearing in the big lake from above.
.
The green forest under the night sky surrounds the big lake. Shade doesn't know where this place is, but it must be the real world. The warm summer wind blows on the body, which is particularly comfortable. The stars hang upside down in the night sky, and the three-wheeled moon and the sixth era
The moon at night is just as beautiful.
The "passengers" who saw the starry sky also looked around from the ship. Ms. Bullock just recognized where it was:
"When I entered the dark town outside the beach, I started from the bottom of the lake. We are really back."
She looked up at the star map again. Although her target was the seat of death, she also had the ability to gaze at stars:
"Has it only been seven days since I left reality?"
Shade then continued to row the oars and took everyone close to the small dock on the shore of the unknown lake. This was a lake in the forest, and the dock looked particularly dilapidated, but at least it could still be used.
After the fleet came to a steady stop, the Nelsons and the two witches got off the ship respectively. The wooden boards of the trestle made a squeaking sound when their shoes and boots stepped on them, and they stepped into the real world again, which made several people feel as if they were far away from each other.
Hundreds of years have passed.
Everyone has different melancholy, which is a very common emotion after an adventure. When they saw Shade still standing on the boat with the oar, they knew that Shade would not leave with them.
They wanted to say goodbye to Shade, but except for the 13th-level witch, the other three had a slightly confused expression on their faces:
"What happened just now? Where is this place? Oh, why do you suddenly have a headache?"
They forgot about the Black Sand Pier and what happened there.
Ms. Bullock was not surprised at all. She ignored the three people and took the notebook from Miss McConaughey's hand and handed it to Shade:
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again."
Shade smiled and said:
"It's best not to see you again. After all, wherever I appear is definitely dangerous. But no matter what, I'm very grateful to you and your sister."
The candidate Death Witch shook her head and stared at Shade's face:
"I should thank you. I can see now that you will appear there solely for the woman who has been to the end of the world, right? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you want to help me or Miss McConaughey.
"
But if Shade ignores them and allows them to really leave by boat, then although Shade can still complete the mission, he will obviously not get those spiritual runes and power, and it will become very difficult to pay for the boat ticket afterwards.
difficulty:
"Actually, I don't need to help Mrs. Nelson. I just need to watch her appear. But anyway, I don't have anything else to do. I like this sense of accomplishment very much."
The witch then also laughed:
"I really don't know how lucky the witches who are lucky enough to live in the same era as you are."
Seeing the expression on Xia De's face that she didn't know how to answer, she waved at Xia De again:
"You still have your things to do, so let's say goodbye. I will send the three of them back, and I will also communicate with the Prophet Association. The adventure is over, but life goes on. I am missing
For seven days, the girls under me didn’t know if they had seen my suicide note, I hope it didn’t frighten them.”
"I feel like you might scare them if you show up again. If they think you're dead, someone might decide it's not important."
Shade also waved to her. Although Ms. Aniya Bullock was not the protagonist of this adventure, she and her sister left the deepest impression on Shade:
"Then goodbye, Ms. Bullock, I wish you can sit on the seat of death as soon as possible, and I wish you can meet your sister again before the moon after death."
The witch threw him another black pendant. The pendant seemed to be made by melting sand into crystals. It looked like a small black sickle:
"I'll give it to you as a gift. I made this by the fire when I had nothing to do. Goodbye, man from the future, goodbye!"
The oars moved on the water, and the two boats sailed towards the lake again. The other three people whose hearing had been blocked just now didn't know what this meant. The middle-aged witch stood at the edge of the small dock by the lake.
, watching the two boats going farther and farther under the starry sky, until they completely melted into the night.
