Because his emperor did not stop him just now, more maids entered the tent this time to see the situation, but soon they were all blown out by the invisible wind.
The tent is closed to the outside world, but this does not mean that the girls in the camp know nothing. Because with the emotional changes of the most powerful witch of this era, the unconsciously induced ether directly changes the surrounding celestial phenomena.
The snowflakes flying in the night sky fell faster and denser, but the howling wind was inexplicably gentler. Probably only the unicorns, chocobos and pet cats and owls raised by the witches didn't understand what this meant, although the witch
Everyone is busy with what they are doing, but most people's minds are no longer here.
When Shade reappeared holding Chloe's hand, he only had less than half an hour left in this era. The silver-haired demigod glared at the girls who were looking at them, but their faces were
The blush that had not subsided made her eyes temporarily no longer as cold as before.
Shade originally planned to do nothing, just hold Chloe by the campfire and watch the stars and falling snow to spend the rest of the time, but Chloe, who held his hand and refused to let go, had her own plan.
:
"I didn't expect you to stay for so long at first, but after you arrived, I asked them to prepare in advance. Shade, I want to give you a new strength. In this way, even if I am not by your side,
You can always remember me."
She took Shade out of the camp and stepped directly onto the lake.
Falling Star Lake, which does not freeze even in the cold winter, now had a layer of ice under Chloe's short boots - the boots that Shade had just helped her put on. Immediately, the ice layer spread all the way to the center of the lake, and here
At the end of the ice road, a huge circular ice surface formed in the center of Falling Star Lake.
The maids cast a spell, causing thousands of icy blue light balls to be distributed above the lake for illumination. Then they walked past the two people holding hands to the ice, and quickly set up the ceremony venue. When Chloe came holding Shade's hand,
When we reached the center of the lake, the ritual matrix carved on the ice was already shining brightly.
Shade stood in the center of the ceremony array. Chloe took out a small ice puppet from the sleeve of her robe and handed it to him. It was clearly her own image:
"You don't need to do anything. Now, Shade, please feel my power seriously."
She came behind Shade, signaled Shade to bend down, and hugged his neck from behind until she lay on Shade's back, with her head emerging from Shade's right shoulder.
Shade knelt down on one knee, hugged the ice statuette with both hands against his chest and closed his eyes in the icy blue ritual light. Then Chloe's warm body and profile
, and the coldness of the ice doll came to my heart together.
This is probably the gentlest feeling in winter.
[Outlander, you feel enlightened.]
[Outlander, the blessing of winter has been triggered, the witch's reverberation - "Ice Witch Chloe" has been triggered. 】
After a moment of waiting, "she" said softly:
[Outlander, you have mastered the thaumaturgy-Chloe's Echo of Ice.]
[Calling the power of the demigod witch Chloe after performing a miracle, the surrounding weather will change to snowy weather while the effect lasts, and it will continue to heal the injuries, spirit, and physical strength of you and your companions, and greatly increase your moon, witch, and cold.
The power of ice spells, any energy released by spells will have an ice effect.
After exchanging the thaumaturgy "Silent Moonlight" to Miss Olanold, Shade finally obtained another thaumaturgy that could restore his spirit.
He immediately opened his eyes, turned around and hugged Chloe who almost slipped off his back.
The silver-haired little witch looked a little pale, but she still smiled when she looked at Shade:
"In this way, you will never be able to forget me. Even if we are two eras apart, even if I am no longer with you, you will always remember me."
"Sharing your power with me will permanently deplete your own power?"
"It doesn't matter. The lost power will come back sooner or later, but Shade, I don't want to lose you."
In the center of the big lake in the snow, it seemed as if the moon had deliberately cast its light on the two of them. The girls standing by the lake all saw this scene, and they all admired their emperor for designing such an exquisite scene.
There was still some time left, so Shade carried Chloe back to the camp by the lake. She did not ask to return to the camp, but asked Shade to hug her and wait for her to fall asleep by the fire:
"This way, I can know later that you have left."
Shade then hugged her and sat down by the fire. The cat also jumped over and squatted on his shoulder. The amount of outdoor exercise it had done in the six hours today, Shade felt, had exceeded the total amount of exercise since the summer.
With his back to the bonfire, amidst the slight crackling sound, Shade held Chloe in his arms and looked up at the snowy night sky, at the large lake illuminated by ice lamp posts and icy blue light balls, and into the distance.
Continuous snow-capped mountains and the deepest darkness in the night.
None of the girls dared to disturb this scene, and Chloe really closed her eyes and lay on Shade's chest. No one said anything, but the silver-haired witch listened to the stranger's heartbeat and actually
I felt a little sleepy.
In her sleepiness, she felt Shade's fingertips on her eyebrows, so she made a whimpering sound and squirmed a few times on Shade's chest to express her dissatisfaction.
Maybe it was only the next second, or maybe it took a long time, but the stranger holding Chloe finally disappeared by the fire together with the cat. But the Witch Emperor did not fall in front of the fire because of this, but remained lying down.
He stood in the air for a long time before sitting upright under the worried gazes of the maids.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the snow-covered ground, then looked up over the fire in front of her at the night sky.
Turning around, he sat on the soft cushion with his back to the bonfire and looked at the scenery of Falling Star Lake just like Shade did before. Finally, he stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows.
The mark of the silver burning moon flashed past, and the demigod witch's powerful soul and perception even made her feel as if she had touched the moon at this moment.
Girls in the Sixth Age are not demigods. Adele in the past had a mark but could no longer see the moon. Therefore, Chloe, who was the furthest away from Shade's era, was the first to know about this silver mark.
What does it mean:
"Silver Moon."
She looked at the moon, as if she was looking at Shade in the next century.
(Little Mia is running.)
The figures of Shade and little Mia, who had been kicked out of the past time, appeared in the endless white mist. The cat had followed Shade here before, so it didn't panic and squatted on Shade's shoulder, looking very obedient.
Shade raised his head as if he was still looking at the starry sky above the snowfield. It took him a long time to let out a long sigh, and then he saw the shadow of a giant tree standing in the thick fog that connected the sky and the earth:
"Father of trees~"
He shouted loudly:
"The problem in the Vesta Grove is imminent. If you can hear my voice, please enlighten me on how to fight against the evil being transformed from the remains of the World Tree?"
The giant tree was swaying in the windless fog, but Shade didn't get any inspiration. He just saw a leaf falling down, and then he caught it in his hand:
"Huh? Why are there immortal leaves? It's not the reward this time."
Then he discovered that this leaf was just a "Leaf of Youth" and did not contain any knowledge or power.
[It only takes back the power, not the carrier. That time in the Black Night Temple, it added additional opportunities to use the key. This time it only increased the stay time, which is different. 】
"She" gently explained in Shade's ear, and Shade only understood that this was different because of recent events. Increasing the use opportunities of the exhausted keys was equivalent to breaking through the limitations and creating new time channels;
But for the time that Shade stayed in the past, he did not belong to any point in time. His "time stamp" could adapt to any time, so staying for six more hours would just pull him back later.
"One piece was left over from the Battle of Moon Bay, and one piece was obtained by cutting the coffin tree hole. Adding this piece together, I have three leaves in my hand."
He sighed again and looked up at the shadow of the giant tree:
"So, I have to solve the problem myself, right?"
The giant tree still didn't give any reply. Shade looked down at the ice puppet in his hand, then turned around and disappeared from the fog with the cat.
The crown of the tree rustled, and then the giant tree disappeared into the fog.
Although more than six hours had passed since Shade and Mia's physical sensation, and the cat even ate more than one meal, in fact, on the early morning of Wednesday on the eighth day of the Dead Leaf Moon in 1854 of the Sixth Era, it was just
Only three seconds have passed.
When Shade and Mia stepped out of the study door together, he immediately felt the "fire mark" representing Chloe. And unlike Adele's fire mark, which seemed quite vague and distant, he could know it relatively clearly.
The point in time where Chloe's fire mark is.
"Although Chloe's time is far away from the present, that time is normal for the continuous time flow; but Adele's time does not exist at all."
Although he was melancholy in his heart and missed the cold but enthusiastic girl, he still managed to meet Chloe and made an appointment to meet again. This was not the first time that Shade faced a separation, so he quickly
He adjusted his mood and even began to look forward to the next reunion with Chloe.
To sum up the gains from this adventure, it can even be said to be the greatest of all Time Key adventures.
