Regarding where Flora and Emilia are going to go tomorrow, and who will be with them to protect them, this is the most critical issue in this meeting. Vanessa is the strongest among them, so of course she has to
"Wait a minute, I have a question."
Xi Wei's eyes widened and he turned to look at Shade, who was sitting in the middle of the couch:
"Did you just say that Vanessa is now the thirteenth level? But how did Vanessa become the thirteenth level? Don't say this as something that everyone knows by default, and then think that I can easily
Accept it calmly. Also, Carina and Flora, do you think you already knew about this?"
Xiwei was the only big witch present who didn't know about this, so Vanessa, who was wearing a silver moonlight ring on her hand, tried to be more reserved, that is, not to smile too obviously:
"You're talking about this. I gained something after the Battle of Moon Bay. I was promoted to level 13 some time ago. Xiwei, it's not just you who doesn't know. Mother-in-law Cassandra and sisters Audrey/Megan
I don’t know yet. I plan to wait until the incident in Vista Grove is over before I tell the Speaker about it. She will be very happy."
"Anything gained? Vanessa, we are not strangers, I don't believe this."
The big witch with wavy brown hair looked at Vanessa and then at Shade:
"My instinct tells me that this matter has something to do with Shade, and it has a lot to do with it."
"Ahem, let's talk about this later. Shade, please continue the topic. Should I follow Flora or Amelia?"
Not only is it a matter of the distribution of witches, Luvia also asked Shade if it was necessary to contact the church and the college to ask them to send manpower to support this operation. If the college and the church can also join, even if the "clock" cannot be caught this time
Craftsman" can at least guarantee a complete and severe damage to the [Tree Hole Association].
But Shade gave up after thinking about it:
"If too many people are involved, there is a risk that the plan will be exposed. We don't know what other abilities the halfling killer from the Fourth Age has. He seems to specialize in assassination, and his ability to collect intelligence should be quite good.
It’s not that I don’t trust the confidentiality capabilities of the church and the academy, but I still don’t want to take that risk. According to my plan, even if the [Tree Hole Association] cannot be severely damaged this time, Emilia can be guaranteed to be absolutely safe.”
"So what is the bottom line goal this time?"
Dorothy also asked, and Shade looked at the elf sitting with Agelina:
"Protect Emilia and ensure that this so-called assassination will not happen again. This time, we will keep the halfling killer. Although he is very strong, he has not exceeded the limit of a ring wizard. Although our enemies know
This time, thirteenth-level witches participated in the battle, but they probably didn't expect that most of the entire witch council's power was actually local.
[Witch Council] started the first Battle of the Chosen in midsummer last year, and only participated in major events with part of its strength. This time we take the initiative, and I hope that Miss Isabella will not blame you for exposing the power of the Council afterwards."
He wasn't called "Adele" this time.
"So Shade, is this the first battle of the Time War?"
Vanessa smiled and asked:
"If the halfling killer is defeated by us, does this count as Emilia defeating her first opponent?"
"It probably doesn't count."
Emilia raised her hand and said:
"The main body of the Time War is us candidates. The defeat of the facilitators has nothing to do with victory."
"That is to say, unless someone solves the 'Clockmaker' in advance, Emilia will have to face her sooner or later, right?"
The little princess asked, and Shade nodded:
"So it depends on how much knowledge and strength Emilia can learn from the past. But Emilia, you don't need to feel too much pressure. According to my opinion, your candidate selection
She is better than a clockmaker, but your timing talent is no worse than hers."
"So is Emilia the first candidate this time?"
Xiwei asked again. Shade looked at Luvia. She could tell the identity of the chosen one at a glance, but this time she shook her head:
"Emilia is the second candidate."
"That's it"
This is somewhat beyond Shade's expectation. If Emilia is not the first candidate, then the first candidate may be very scary.
But there is no problem if she is not the first candidate. The rules of the chosen one this time do not require killing. As long as Emilia can win the time war, she can still perform the unknown chosen ceremony.
This meeting lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. Because they had to disperse tomorrow, everyone did not stay at the Accordion Hotel.
Agelina chose to stay with Emilia, but she returned little Mia to Shad:
"I want to try to see if I can get other people to notice me. If I don't show up tomorrow afternoon, I'll be waiting for you in Miss Denister's room. Don't forget me."
Dorothy stayed with her sister, Luvia chose to return to the ship with Carina, and Shade also returned to the Radiant Messenger because he had to perform a ceremony. It didn't take much effort to perform the ceremony to enhance the effect of thaumaturgy.
, but after ten o'clock in the evening, he left the ship again and took little Mia out alone.
It was already eleven o'clock when he came back. After washing up and preparing to rest, Shade got into the quilt and felt that there was someone under the quilt. There were too many witches and followers on the ship, and the detection of the badge was not accurate at all.
"Who is it? Carina? Where is your nightgown?"
"Of course I put it in your closet. Although there are no male creatures other than you on this ship, if I really walked over naked, they would definitely be curious about where I was going. Speaking of which, why are you going so late?
Where are you? I have been waiting for you here for a long time, lonely and cold."
The duchess's voice sounded quite dull under the quilt. The red-haired witch tonight seemed to be afraid of the moonlight from the window. The evidence was that she did not get out immediately, but
(Little Mia is running.)
The muffled thunder woke up many people early on Tuesday morning, and the sound of rain seemed to sweep away the last warmth of late autumn, reminding people that the winter of 1854 was really coming.
The wind blowing across Lake Ulen did not cause the cruise ship docked here to sway. The yawning elf had breakfast and left the ship early with his two maids, Tifa and Miss Swift.
The forest.
At the same time, the blond young elf also had breakfast at the Accordion Hotel in the city. She held an umbrella at the door of the hotel and hesitated to go out. Finally, she had no choice but to open the umbrella and meet Miss Bell and Hailey.
·Miss Aurora entered the rainy street scene together.
Emilia in the forest was to help Shade find some unique local herbs, which he would take to the "Ashes River Valley" on Wednesday; while Emilia in the city went directly to the local black market, looking like she was forced to help
People running errands and shopping.
The rain was like someone pouring water from the sky. It continued to rain with no intention of stopping. After ten o'clock in the morning, Emilia in the forest had reached a remote place with no one in the deep forest.
The elf also walked to a remote neighborhood in the old city in the north of the city without any sense of danger.
However, the attack did not come immediately, so a total of six girls from the two places had no choice but to continue today's trip in the rain as planned.
There was no human habitation in the forest. Emilia and the two maids found the hunter's vacant hut at around one o'clock in the afternoon and then started cooking. However, a group of three people in the city found a hut in the old city because they had funds sponsored by the witches.
I had a good meal at an old restaurant that claims to have been in business since the days of Ximu Town.
The trip continued in the afternoon. At about three o'clock, the rain was really heavy. Although the water-avoiding charm still worked, the feeling of stepping in the mud was really bad, so Emily in the forest
Yaben took Tifa and Miss Swift back to the hunter's cabin where they had lunch, planning to wait until the rain subsided a little before leaving.
They lit a bonfire in this drafty wooden house, and carefully cast spells to control the flames to prevent the house from being ignited. Then the girls sat around the bonfire and talked quietly. Elf girls in their youth had many worries.
, and both Tifa and Miss Swift can answer it for her.
After resting for about twenty minutes, the sound of rain outside did not weaken but became louder. Amidst the crackling sounds of flames and crackling rain, a dragon roar louder than thunder came from high in the sky.
, dark black dragon flames poured down from the sky onto the top of this small wooden house.
The cabin in the forest disappeared almost instantly in the violent dragon flames, but inside the house that was revealed, a hemispherical shield made of solid black rocks trapped the three girls. That was enough to melt in half a second.
The flames of the strongest alloy have no effect on this unique obsidian deep underground.
When the jet-black dragon beast flying in the air noticed this, with another roar, the low "hill" next to the wooden house suddenly stood upright. The rock giant that had been lying in wait for a long time jumped into the air and jumped into the air.
The fist grabbed the dark dragon beast from the air.
But then the gray-white mist on the surface of the dragon beast turned the rocks into fly ash. It wanted to spread its wings and fly high, but there was another bang in the pouring rain, and the energy of the giant cannon fired from a distance
The cannon was placed close to the treetops and hit it with one shot.
Obviously, the narrow mist surrounding it could reduce most of the damage, but this shot tore the dragon beast's entire body apart, causing the flesh and blood to explode above the forest floor.
At this moment, it was like rain of blood falling from the sky, but the dirty blood was quickly washed away by the rain.
