From this adventure, Shade mastered the spell-[Inner Fire] and thaumaturgy-[Chloe's Echo of Ice], and obtained the witch's secret technique-[Body of Courage] provided by Miss McConaughey.
information, received new blessings from the gods, and learned more secrets about desire from Chloe——
It is truly a powerful evil that has existed since the creation of the world.
Although the oar given by the gods is no longer in hand, it has been integrated with thaumaturgy:
"God's gift box, butterfly calling flute, and paddle, this is already the third artifact."
Artifacts in stories always have powerful power, but artifacts in reality always have strange effects. It is undeniable that although they are not weapons, they are quite practical. Shade is looking forward to the next time he needs to use that boat.
.
After gathering his mood, Shade did not set off for the Vista Woodland immediately. Instead, he first rummaged through the bag containing six Moon Bay Dragon Scales - the seventh one was at Miss Belindle's, and then took the cat with him.
[Holy White Auditorium] in the attic:
"May the eternal light protect me who walks with the light."
In the dense fog, huge white pillars with exquisite carvings stretched toward the heights of the dense fog, and luminous white walls inlaid with colored glass spread upward silently.
Shade walked through the aisle between the white armchairs with ancient holy symbols, and then successfully found the holy symbol symbolizing the "God of Ferryman" on the wall.
You can find the holy emblems of the old gods you have come into contact with in the [Holy White Hall], and receive blessings through touching them. The blessing that Shade currently maintains has always been the blessing of the God of Toys, which allows him to directly turn people into toys.
, it’s a pity that it can’t be brought to the past.
Shade tried here when he first went to the "Black Sand Pier", but at that time the Holy Emblem of [The Ferryman God] did not appear. Now that the three missions have been completed, it seems that Shade has truly come into contact with that god.
.
He tentatively reached out his hand to the Holy Emblem.
[Outlander, do you want to accept the blessing of the old god - the ferryman god? 】
[The effect of ferry blessing: boating on dry land.]
[The blessing is valid for 24 hours.]
Shade smiled and retracted his hand. These blessings may not all be very useful, but at least each one is quite interesting.
Still maintaining the blessing of the God of Toys, Shade set off for the Vista Woodland with little Mia. It was still early, so he brought breakfast to the elf girl and thanked her again for borrowing a large group of Land Travelers last night.
The bird helps the witches rush to the Lake of Love.
Coupled with the fact that he rode "Golden Little Mia" in his dream yesterday, Shade's mission when he received this week's gift "Chocobo Friends" has even been completed.
Something so dangerous happened in Love Lake last night, but people in the nearby city of Vista didn't feel it at all.
When Shade went up the stairs in the hotel, he was still thinking about the dream he had in the lake yesterday. After he knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room 317, he looked up and saw Flo with light gray cat ears.
La Winslet was standing in front of the mirror with a frown, looking at her own appearance.
The stranger once thought that he had fallen into a dream again, so he immediately closed the door and stood in the corridor and turned to look at the cat on his shoulder:
"If you make a woofing sound, you must be in a dream now."
"Meow?"
"Okay, it doesn't look like a dream."
Shade opened the door again, and it turned out that Flora Winslet did not have cat ears, and she turned around in front of the mirror and looked at him doubtfully:
"Why did you close the door? It's not like you went to the wrong room."
"Just now, that was this."
He raised his hands above his head and tried to raise his fingers to make ears, then realized that he was probably making a rabbit.
"Oh, you mean this?"
She shook her head, and two gray cat ears immediately popped out of her hair. Shade was stunned by this. Although he had only seen the cat girl in Chloe's camp not long ago,
Seeing his appearance, the witch explained:
"Didn't we talk a lot when we were dreaming yesterday? You said you wanted to meet a girl with cat ears, but I forgot to show you in the dream."
The small gray cat ears twitched a few more times. Of course, things were not that simple. She just wanted to get more than the dream:
"And the transformation technique I always said I wanted to teach you involves partial transformation like this. Do you want to try to learn it?"
"Before that, can you allow me to touch your ears? I definitely don't want to take advantage, I'm just curious."
After saying that, he really walked over. Flora Winslet did not dodge. Instead, the cat who was doing nothing immediately started meowing after seeing the pair of ears clearly, but Shade ignored it at all.
"What are you doing?"
Just when Shade stretched out his hand, the door behind him opened again, and Miss Daniste and Miss Bell walked in from the door. Then the witch flicked her hair, and the cat ears disappeared immediately, and she even raised her hand to cover herself up.
Combed her hair:
"Shad said there was a butterfly in my hair, so he wanted to help me get rid of it."
"Butterflies? This season? In the room?"
The red-haired girl didn’t believe it anyway.
What happened at Love Lake last night was not completely over. Those people who floated from the bottom of the lake to the shore have now been taken in by the local church, and the Love Lake area has been completely sealed off.
In order to prevent the church from not knowing the danger there, when contacting the church to explain the situation, Shade had tried his best to explain the history and origin of the lake as clearly as possible. According to Miss Danister, the Holy See of the Church of Nature even sent a message to the church last night.
People went directly to St. Byrons and asked for more information related to "Desire".
"The unknowable relic itself is a natural disaster. We should be lucky that it has a good relationship with Shad. The other people rescued with Linda Bennett are also local youths who arrived there for various reasons.
area.
Because Shade said that Linda Bennet had known about the lake a long time ago, and even took the initiative to fetch water to charm York Bronte, the church is now very worried about the information about the mermaid, which has long been circulated locally, and is even worried Local groups emerged to worship it."
The red-haired girl said this. Shade moved his eyes from Flora's hair and sat down on the sofa with them:
"Let's not worry about the mermaid thing for now, and let's concentrate on dealing with the tree hole thing. We were originally going to the Golden Music Hall yesterday to find the secret of the Temple of Time. Since we were delayed by the Love Lake thing yesterday, let's go today."
He put little Mia from his lap onto the sofa:
"Flora, how do you feel about your recovery? If you still feel a little unwell, ask Miss Bell to come with me."
Luvia said that the key to cracking the Temple of Time lies in musical symbols, so it would be convenient to have a witch or witch apprentice who understands music follow.
The witch immediately shook her head:
"It's okay. The reality of that dream is more important, isn't it? I have figured it out all night, yes, the false is not important, so I didn't even go to draw."
She stood up:
"I'll go with you. And I'm glad you call me 'Flora' now, just like Denise."
The red-haired girl whose name was mentioned on the side raised her eyebrows, feeling that the impact of that dream would never disappear.
The Accordion Hotel and the Musikverein are on the same street, so there's no need to turn into an owl and fly there.
Shade and Flora left the hotel on foot at nine o'clock in the morning. Although the weather in Vista City was still gloomy today, it had not rained yet, so there were not many pedestrians on the streets.
They didn't communicate much on the street. After arriving at the concert hall, they went to the museum area first. The death of Professor Quinto did not cause much trouble here, and there were not many people in the museum on Wednesday morning.
When the two stood in front of the glass cabinet and looked at the "original bricks and stones of the concert hall" stored inside, the witch said softly:
"Actually, I've smelled it since I saw you just now. You have the smell of perfume. It's the 'smell of a witch', and it doesn't belong to any witch I know."
Looking at him with golden eyes, Xia De did not deny:
"I used the time key again this morning. After completing the task of the tree father, I took a boat to visit Chloe."
Since she already knew the secret about the time key, Shade didn't hide it, so he simply explained what happened this morning while wandering around the museum. Of course, he didn't say anything about privacy:
"In the end, I held her in front of the bonfire and watched the snow scene at night. The scene was really beautiful. Because the wind was not strong, the snowflakes fell very slowly. After she fell asleep, I also went back with little Mia. Now."
The witch following him was not angry because of Shade's intimacy with other witches. After all, she was an "old woman" from the fifth era.
The sentimental girl was just imagining the girl who had been waiting for Shade for more than twenty years and would continue to wait, and then imagined the scene of Chloe and Shade walking by the lake in the starry night and snow, and somehow she
Put yourself in:
"To you, what is the witch from thousands of years ago?"
"She is considered a lover. She likes me and I like her. She is willing to wait for me and I am willing to look for her."
Shade said it very straightforwardly, and Flora Winslet was very satisfied with it, so she asked again:
"Then what am I to you?"
This was the main reason why she didn't sleep all night. She knew her own thoughts, but she didn't know what Shade thought. Shade stopped and turned to look at her. His golden eyes looked at him for a moment and then moved away.
Opened:
"Sorry, this is a difficult question to answer, isn't it? I think the impact of that dream on me is not over yet."
Flora wanted to continue walking forward, but then Shade held her wrist:
"The difference between you and Chloe is that she is far away and out of reach, while you are right next to me."
