Chapter 2821 Eighteen-year-old worries and foreigners’ speaking skills
After the three of them passed through the smoke and dust of the explosion, what they saw was a "magma lake" with a diameter of more than 20 meters in the forest. And when the elf girl mobilized the power of the forest to eliminate the magma lake with a troubled look,
At the bottom of the deep pit where raindrops are constantly turning into water mist, the fourth Paradox Bug shell was found.
"Don't use such fire spells in the forest!"
She said to Shade very dissatisfied, and after cooling down the hot insect shell, she picked it up, and then threw a bottle of magic potion to Shade:
"The third bottle of paradox insect potion is ready. Really, if you do this often, even if you have the blessing of nature affinity, the forest will hate you. Look how many trees you have destroyed?"
Even if she pinches the waist with one hand to "teach" someone, she is not harsh at all, but rather cute.
After getting Shade's assurance, she called to take shelter under a nearby tree. At this time, the yellow chocobo that looked a little frightened came over. After she got on the chocobo, she was about to leave, but then
Stopped by Sha De:
"On the weekend or next Monday, Miss Emilia Siamold from the college will come over. Would you mind meeting her?"
"I don't mind. Since I'm your friend, why should I mind?"
The blonde girl with pointed ears said, sitting sideways on the chocobo, holding its neck with her right hand, and holding an umbrella for it and herself with her left hand:
"Then goodbye, don't forget to continue to help me find arrows, this is more important than anything else."
Then the chocobo carried her and disappeared into the forest as if it was running away.
When they left Sir Wayne's mansion just now, Miss Daniste had already cast a "water-avoiding spell" on the three of them. Therefore, although it was still raining heavily, they did not hold an umbrella. When Shade looked at the red-haired girl
, she had opened the cork of the potion bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.
"I have always thought that the elves' magic potions are very special. They can always mix unpleasant flavors into delicious ones."
As she spoke, her life ring emerged. The eight-ring life ring quickly transformed into a nine-ring life ring under the cover of the steam mist. Just as expected, the first bottle of potion changed her from a seven-ring life ring back to an eight-ring one.
The combined effect of two or three bottles of magic potion changed her from an eight-ring to a nine-ring.
Emilia herself said that the paradox insect potion cannot completely eradicate the time curse. The next potion will only be less effective one bottle after another, but fortunately there is still a long way to go before it is completely ineffective.
"The middle level to the high level is the second most important upgrade for a ring warlock. The most important one is of course the twelfth ring to the thirteenth ring. You also know that every upgrade of the ring warlock will lead to a comprehensive enhancement of the body and soul. From the middle ring to the high ring
The sublimation is the most obvious. The difference between the eight rings and the nine rings is much greater than the difference between the seven rings and the eight rings."
The red-haired girl was in a good mood and talking to Shade about her feelings, and then she found that Shade was looking at her in slight surprise.
Only then did she touch her face as if aware of it, and then the rainwater that was no longer evaporated by the heat formed a water mirror in front of her.
In the mirror, the slightly youthful eighteen-year-old face was rapidly maturing until it turned into her original appearance. But this "recovery" only lasted for a second, and the mature face began to lose age again, and finally
He stopped looking like he was eighteen years old again.
The red-haired girl touched her face, as if she was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Shade didn't bother her, and it wasn't until she waved her hand to disperse the water mirror that Shade said in the sound of rain:
"Now that it has returned to nine rings, Flora will definitely be jealous of you when we go back."
But Daniste Gustave did not respond to this topic, but remained silent for a while before asking Shade:
"If I were to say that when I saw my face in the mirror just now, I suddenly felt that I had remained eighteen years old, would it appear that I was very, very hypocritical. Before that, I had been complaining to you all the time.
Turned eighteen."
Shade knows her psychology very well:
"The desire for youth is something everyone has. It's normal. And it seems like you won't be able to recover for a while. Don't worry about that now."
The young and beautiful girl touched her face again. She had never cared about this problem before. But when she really saw the eighteen-year-old face "aging" just now, she had to admit that she was really reluctant to let go of her current face.
appearance.
Youth is fleeting, and not many people can accept the fact that they grow old in an instant. Especially now that she really has the characteristics of being eighteen years old forever. At a certain moment, she really thought that maybe she could stay like this forever.
good.
After returning the hypnotized Sir Wayne to his residence, Miss Danister cast a spell to modify his memory, making him think that he had been discussing business with Shade, but this meeting had no results.
Then the two of them left here and rushed to the Hoy Manor in the north of the city. The Jazz had already told the location of the wooden trap door. Now as long as the door is recovered, the matter will finally come to an end.
However, it was almost noon, so they had a quick lunch on the way. Seeing that Miss Denister was still not in high spirits during the meal, Shade tried to tell a few jokes, but then realized that he had no talent in this area.
So the outsiders "shamelessly" plagiarized some classics from their hometown. Although this only made the girl purse her lips and smile slightly, at least she seemed to be in a much better mood:
"Are you always so good at changing other people's emotions?"
"I'm just good at not making people sad."
"Xia De, can you answer me a question? Which one do you prefer, the eighteen-year-old me or the real me?"
The rain pattered outside the window, and the noise in the tavern was not noisy. The sound of the wine glass being put down by the table next door seemed to turn into the sound of a bell, which meant that this was a fatal problem.
[Perhaps you can say "I like them both", and then express some positive opinions about her eighteen years old and her real age.]
"She" suggested with a smile, but Shade did not adopt it. Instead, he put down his knife and fork, folded his hands together and placed them on the table. Then he turned to look at the rainy scene outside the window as if thinking:
"To be honest, I probably prefer the way you look when you appear in front of me."
The voice in my ear smiled softly, and the sorceress across the table also really laughed. She really laughed very happily:
"Okay, I admit, Shade, choosing you to be my student is really one of the few correct choices I have ever made."
After dinner, the weather turned from cloudy to sunny like an eighteen-year-old girl's mood. The heavy rain stopped without warning, and the sun even peeked out from behind the clouds.
However, there was an accident in the operation. When they could see Hoy Manor from a distance, the sky was already reflected red by the fire. When they got closer, the two saw that the entire manor was now engulfed in a sea of flames.
middle.
Several people who were suspected of being church magicians were trying to extinguish the fire. The servants, chefs and maids of the manor were gathered far away from the gate and were worried. However, it seemed that these magicians were not suppressing the flames smoothly.
"When I first came here to attend the wedding banquet, I guessed whether this place would be engulfed by fire again like three hundred years ago. You see, my intuition was quite accurate."
Shade said, blinked at the flames again, and then continued to say to the girl beside him:
"The devil's flame. It seems that the devil left something for Director Kant, or the devil has other methods."
"The devil is not dead?"
"No, he must be dead. There's no doubt about that. It's probably just a little trick. I'll go to the manor first to confirm the condition of the trap door. These flames can't hurt me yet. You wait for me here and take a look at these things in the church.
What else do people want to do besides put out fires?"
The red-haired girl hesitated for a moment before nodding, and did not say that she wanted to follow Shade into the sea of fire:
"Then you have to be more careful. After all, my teacher is not here to save you."
Although she obviously has not completely let go of what happened last night, she at least said this with a smile, so she was more teasing than angry.
Shade responded with a smile:
"If Ms. Carter didn't save me, wouldn't there be Ms. Gustave who could save me?"
There was a visibly unhappy expression on her face, so Shade changed his words:
"I mean, isn't there a younger Miss Gustav who can save me?"
Then she gently patted Shade's arm:
"Why don't you go quickly? If you don't go to the manor, it will be burned down."
"I know, I'll be back soon."
This fire with demonic power did not have the power to curse, but it was difficult to extinguish. However, even so, it still severely hindered perception, so the church's ring warlocks did not notice a group of butterflies with the same red color flying in from the side of the manor.
caught in the fire.
Compared to the flames actually used by the demon, the fire that ignited in the manor at this time was nothing worth mentioning.
Shade flew into the house through the first-floor rear window of the manor house, and then walked along the corridor to the first-floor dining room amid the surrounding fire, which is where the bodies of the Hoy family were legendary to be found three hundred years ago.
The faces in the portraits on the walls had become quite distorted and terrifying in the fire. As expected, the restaurant door had been burned and deformed in the fire, but Shade still kicked it open.
The dining room is connected to the semi-underground kitchen, and the trap door is under the cabinet in the innermost storage room of the kitchen. Of course, every time Sir Wayne comes to "carry" those "treasures" in person, he takes the door leading outside the manor.
The authenticity here.
It's just that the tunnel is too long, and it's not as convenient as breaking into the manor directly, so Shade didn't choose that route.
The trap door was still here, and the surrounding fire could not destroy it. But what surprised Shade was that the cabinet pressing on the trap door had been moved away, but the trap door was still locked.
Judging from the signs around it, it doesn’t look like someone went down and locked it again.
