In addition to the great witches, the witch apprentices and followers also attended the banquet, and at this time the girls in the banquet hall were more or less open-minded.
Not to mention Miss Aurora and Vanessa who were deliberately looking for fun, even Granny Cassandra looked over happily along with the somewhat nervous Miss Swift.
But unexpectedly, the gray-black haired witch was startled, but immediately replied:
"Carina, you don't have to go out of your way to thank me. Miss Luvia Anat has already said it to me once just now to thank me for taking care of Shade."
Everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter, even Luvia, who was holding a wine glass on the other side of Shade. She blinked apologetically at Carina, but the duchess had no time to respond to the fortune teller at this time.
She frowned slightly, but still maintained a relaxed tone when speaking:
"Flora, I didn't have time to ask you last time at Love Lake, but you should still remember what you told me in the parliament after you discovered Shade locally, right?"
Carina also noticed that other witches and girls seemed to be eavesdropping, so she lowered her voice, but it had no effect.
Flora shook her head:
"What did I say?"
"You said - you suspect that I want to rob someone? Do you look down on me too much, Carina? (Chapter 2574)"
For this moment, the Duchess had memorized these words for more than a month, so when she said them now, her tone even sounded like Flora Winslet at that time.
The great witch of death who was taught to speak clasped her hands on her chest and turned her head slightly to the side, but her face was actually slightly red:
"Humph, Carina, you are so boring."
The duchess didn't really want to blame her, she was satisfied with her reaction:
"Just tell me if this is what you said yourself?"
".Yes."
A flower-like smile bloomed on Carina Cavendish's face, and she nodded slightly:
"This is not boring at all. I think it is very interesting, and it is interesting every time. Xiwei, you saw it over there, did you also find it interesting?"
So Miss Aurora turned around and pretended to talk to Miss Elisa, ignoring her at all.
"Okay, okay."
Shade took the initiative to speak to prevent the conversation from becoming more excessive:
"During this time in Vista Woodland, it was really thanks to Flora's help. Not to mention the help from various psychics, let's just say that when we went to the deserted village for the first time not long ago, if it hadn't been for her magical help, I'm afraid
It was difficult to escape from that village."
"I know, I'm not blaming anyone. If you keep saying this, I will become a bad person."
The duchess stretched out her hand to call the maid, and motioned Flora to pick up a wine glass:
"Come on, let's have a glass of wine together. You should understand that I'm just not happy that you stole my person. Although I am also a latecomer to Luvia, I am just unhappy anyway."
Of course the great witch of death knew this, so the two of them clinked glasses together under Luvia's gaze, and then each took a sip of wine.
I don’t know whether it was because of the drunkenness or because she finally no longer had to be “blamed” by Carina. Flora, who thought she had no moral burden in the first place, took Luvia’s hand again and said:
"Continue telling me about Shade's past. I'm really curious. Was he really the kind of person who would blush and speak fluently when he stood closer to the girls? I really can't tell.
, tell me quickly, how did you turn him into what he is now?"
Carina winked at Shade from the side, and Shade became sullen and stopped talking.
He looked at the girls in formal dresses in the banquet hall. When those girls he liked and missed met his eyes, they would smile shyly or wink. The outsider felt that he did not regret such a change.
It's like he no longer wonders why he came to this world.
Emilia was quickly brought over by Miss Danister. The young elf girl who came with her luggage did not expect to attend a banquet. When she was at the door, she hesitated to change clothes first, and then was
Agelina pulled away with little Mia on her head:
"Emilia, long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
"Ajelina~ It's so good to see you again. I'm doing well, but I have a lot of homework in the fall semester. Why are you talking to me like a cat?"
"Isn't little Liana here?"
Seeing the red-haired girl coming over, Shade asked curiously. Miss Danister shook her head:
"It's coming, but it's not convenient to keep the unicorn directly in the hotel, so tomorrow it will come to the Vista Woodland with the college's team. Then I will bring it directly and put it on your boat."
"No need to put it on the boat."
Shade looked up at Agelina who was talking excitedly to Emilia. The two "peers" now had endless things to say:
"Tomorrow morning I plan to take Emilia to meet the elf girl in the forest, and then I will take little Lianna with me. If possible, I will leave little Liana in the tree house, but I don't know those land travelers
Will the birds like it?"
Luvia, who was holding a goblet on the side, raised her eyebrows. She was wearing a purple dress. Her temperament was completely different from that of Miss Feliana, who also liked purple:
"Are you in such a hurry? In my opinion, you are preparing for Emilia to become qualified to go to the past."
"We can't wait any longer. Although there are no signs yet. But just as everyone knows that winter is coming, I can feel that the situation in the Vista Woodland is getting worse.
The stability of time and the ancient rituals based on the forest can no longer restrain the evil that came here in the long past. The tree holes we have only clarified the basic principles of time travel and only touched the local story.
The tip of the iceberg.
The decisive battle will come next, and Emilia should be prepared for it."
Miss Danister also looked at the elf girl talking excitedly to the little princess in the distance:
"This burden is still a bit too heavy for her after all."
Shade no longer has such worries:
"She said she wanted to take on such a responsibility, and she is ready for it. And I have promised her that I will not force her to be someone she doesn't want to be, and I will always be by her side."
The banquet did not last too late that night. After all, Megan, Audrey, Sister Devlin, Miss Belindell and Miss Sylvia had not arrived yet, so everyone was not present yet.
After the banquet, Flora and Miss Daniste, who were already in the hotel, would of course not leave. Apart from them, Vanessa, the thirteenth-level guest, personally stayed with people to prevent any accidents.
Luvia, Granny Cassandra, Miss Aurora and Carina returned to the ship. As long as Miss Eleser was there, there was no need to worry about problems on the "Brilliant Messenger" as the base camp.
.
Agelina and Emilia are also going back to the boat. Shade will take Emilia into the forest tomorrow morning. It will be a little closer from the lake.
However, it was still early. When everyone was saying goodbye in the hotel, Shade suddenly said:
"Louvia, don't leave yet, come and take a walk around the city with me."
Everyone smiled, but no one said anything. Only little Mia huddled pitifully on the little princess's head and looked at Shade. Shade had no choice but to say to Dorothy:
"When we get to the boat later, prepare some midnight snacks for little Mia. She will have to work hard these days."
"Meow~"
"Be good, Maomao. I will greet you."
Agelina also said the same thing, but it was obvious that little Mia didn't like Agelina very much, but in the end she followed Agelina very obediently.
"Iluna has arrived locally too, right?"
The city of Vista is not large, but the air quality here is very good. Even now at the end of autumn and early winter when heating of the city starts, the starry sky at night is still bright.
Starting from the Accordion Hotel, Shade and Luvia, who was wearing a red scarf, walked side by side towards the golden concert hall. The night wind blew the fallen leaves at their feet, and the halo of the street lamp illuminated the two figures standing close together.
In the distance is the concert hall with lights all night long, and the side tower of the concert hall is the local clock tower.
Luvia had already changed out of the dress she had just worn in the hotel, and the checkered skirt she wore now didn't look out of place at night.
She took a few steps forward with Shade to make sure that the witches had left, and then she put her arm on Shade's arm, which gave her a sense of security that Shade would not fly away:
"Calculating the time, Iluna should have arrived, but she doesn't have time to come to us for the time being. I heard her say before leaving that the church has prepared many means to deal with the 'paradox bug' this time, and she also has to learn some new ones.
Thaumatological and ritual knowledge.”
She looked at the bright yellow concert hall not far ahead:
"What a peaceful town. If it weren't for the stories you brought back, who would know how many stories are hidden underneath this calmness? The Cumming family, whose family relationships are disordered, and the Bronte, who cheated death in order to live forever.
, Kant who cooperated with the devil to bring disaster to Kasenrik. These stories seem independent but are intertwined.
Sometimes I wonder, if it wasn't you who came here but someone else, how would these stories be resolved?"
Shade knew that if Luvia came here, she would probably kill all these people. Of course, he would not say such words:
"I didn't invite you out for a walk just so you could praise me."
Purple eyes looked at him with a smile:
"But I just like to praise you."
After saying that, he looked back and forth, and then kissed the side of Xia De's face on the street. Xia De covered his face and smiled, feeling that the scenery tonight was even better:
"You have a good rest after you go back. Tomorrow I will bring Emilia back from the forest. You can use the two coins we have left to divine what the chair that the doctor and I saw in the forest represents."
