The Whispering Verses Chapter 435: Time Curse
In Shad's story, Lesia is a pen pal he met by chance, and he only recognized her identity after "Cold Water Harbor Holiday". What Iluna cared about more was the mass of flesh and blood that Shade had eaten. Even until that evening, when the three of them and the cat went to a restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue to eat, Iluna sighed softly while cutting the steak;
"After eating the flesh and blood of a level 0 relic, you can still talk and laugh with us. Sometimes I even wonder if you are human."
She joked and winked at Shade playfully. The dress and hair accessories she prepared for a high-end restaurant made her look more charming than before. The purple-eyed female fortune teller smiled and looked at Shade who was feeding the cat.
This time, in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Cold Water Port incident, Darkness was injured and escaped as expected, so they chose a high-end restaurant. The ladies wore formal dresses and Shade wore formal clothes.
"The gift of fate always has a corresponding price, but this time the price was paid for him by others."
Luvia refers to the person who died while writing "The Puppet Operator's Notes".
"But can you really control your desires?"
Eluna asked Shade worriedly, and Shade said confidently:
"Of course, from this afternoon to now, have you noticed anything wrong with me?"
"That's because you are calm and not stimulated."
Luvia said, and Iluna nodded in agreement.
The seventeen-year-old girl suddenly blinked at Shade, then looked around:
"Why don't we try it out."
"What do you want to do?"
Shad asked warily, and Iluna smiled playfully at him again. A few seconds later, Shade felt something rubbing against his leg. He looked up at Iluna, who asked in a low voice:
"How do you feel now?"
"Are you reading some unhealthy book?"
Shad asked hesitantly, Iluna's face suddenly turned red, and Luvia looked at them helplessly:
"This is a public place."
"I know."
Shad said, and then motioned to Iluna, who was sitting opposite him, to put on her shoes:
"Besides, what kind of excitement do you think this is?"
"But that's what it says in the book."
Iluna defended in a low voice.
"What are you looking at?"
Xia De asked curiously again, but Iluna blushed and refused to tell the title of the book. According to Shade's guess, it should be a low-quality novel that is not publicly distributed, has poor printing quality, and is produced in underground workshops.
"Xia De, you can't ask girls this kind of question casually."
Luvia helped Iluna block it, and then looked Shade up and down:
"But we can't do this kind of risky thing in the future. After all, it's a relic, and it's still level 0. I've only seen it once with the priest."
"Huh?"
Shad still wanted to ask, but the waiter brought new dishes, so he could only stop the topic for the time being.
Although Darkness is still on his way here, the three of them cannot relax and must prepare in advance what to do when he arrives. Luvia did not assign tasks to Shade. He had already done a good enough job in Coldwater Port.
The next preparations were completed by Iluna and Luvia. Whether it's a way to fight against demons, the situation of the out-of-control angel-level relic [Darkness] outside the city, or a countermeasure to crack the weird dark power, the two ladies will find a way to be ready.
What Shade needs to do during this time is just to deal with his own affairs. Once Darkness arrives, they will probably be busy again, so they finish what they need to do before the end of the Flower Moon so that they can concentrate on facing the second chosen one.
Luvia and Iluna both agreed to let Shade take a break. They were companions and Shade could not do everything. They can't interfere in the affairs of Cold Water Port, but in dealing with matters in Tobesk, the girls who have the background of the Prophet Association and the Church of the Sun respectively have more advantages than Shade.
"Also, sometimes to control desires, it is better to choose the appropriate method to vent them."
This is what the purple-eyed soothsayer suddenly said to Shade when Shade and Luvia said goodbye to each other in St. Teresa Square and left Iluna in a carriage.
"What do you mean?"
Shade put his hands in his pockets and asked, looking up at the starry sky. The night was already getting dark.
"If you feel that you can't control your desire to rise, you can choose some means to vent it instead of holding it in all the time, which is more likely to cause trouble. For example, you can choose"
The purple eyes looked at Sha De, his eyes flowing on Sha De’s face:
"Play cards."
"I feel like I'm in control."
"That's impossible to say."
Standing under the street lights of Saint Teresa Square, Luvia shook her head:
"I suggest that you do some hedonic things to a limited extent before the influence of that piece of flesh and blood ends, instead of just immersing yourself in work. Shade, your life is actually very monotonous."
"I know."
"So why not relax?"
“Because I don’t have time, I am still reading the first-grade books intensively, and I have only read through the second-grade books once, and I have no desire.”
Luvia thought for a while, looked around, and found that except for the cat looking out of the second-floor window, there were no other eyes on Saint Teresa Square at night.
"No desire?"
She put her arms around Shade's neck, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
"What now?"
After the two separated, Luvia asked again. Her cheeks were slightly red, but she was smiling happily:
"How dare you say now that you have no desires?"
Xia De touched his lips and looked at her seriously:
"Why do you always like to force kisses?"
"Who else have you been forcibly kissed by?"
The girl with short brown hair asked, but she didn’t seem to care much about this question:
"Shadow, you must protect yourself and stop doing those dangerous actions. I listened to your complete experience in Coldwater Port today and I am really worried."
Under the gas streetlight, she touched her lips, her purple eyes looking bright.
"I have some reasons why I must take risks."
Xia De pursed his lips and said.
"I know, I know you're seeking something we don't know."
The girl with purple eyes said softly, the smile on her face disappeared and became a little depressed:
"But at least promise me, you must pay attention to safety. This is like a dialogue in a knight's novel."
The smile on his face at this moment is not sincere at all.
"I am not the kind of person who actively seeks death."
Shad nodded, Luvia looked up at the moon above her head:
"Before I met you, Shade, I always thought I would never find someone with the same goals."
"Isn't it Iluna?"
"She is still too young, a little idealistic, and a little too optimistic."
The night breeze in the city also carries the smell of burnt pollutants. The wind brought warmth and blew Luvia's short shawl hair. Shade looked at her side face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You promised that you would go down with me and witness the thirteen chosen ones."
Luvia said.
"Yes."
"So, don't leave before me."
She was still looking at the moon over Saint Teresa Square, not looking at Shade. Shade didn't understand why the topic became so serious after a kiss, but he still nodded:
"I will accompany you until the end, just like the silver moon above your head, I will always be there."
"Xia De, I am actually"
The purple-eyed girl suddenly turned her head to look at De, and the stranger blinked:
"What is it actually?"
"I have nothing."
She shook her head, and then she and Shade looked up at the three-wheeled moon above their heads.
The silver moon is half full, the red moon is in its remaining phase, and the yellow moon is gradually becoming complete. Judging from the moon phases, autumn is getting closer.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Xia De commented.
"Yes."
She had a slight smile on her face.
"So Luvia, can I kiss you? It's really annoying to be forced to kiss by girls all the time. I also want to test how much [desire] I am affected by."
He looked at the moon and asked, and he was surprised that this was what he said.
"Of course you can, and I hope, even more, that you ask this question because you really want to do it."
She also looked at the moon and said.
"Also, there is one thing I have to admit, I am actually very fond of others"
"Just like having women's shirts hanging out on your balcony, does it matter?"
She asked softly.
"Probably not important."
Shad said, and then gently hugged Luvia's shoulders. Seeing that she had no objection, the two kissed each other again.
The sea of stars is vast, and three months hang together. The moon seems brighter than ever at this moment. The bright moonlight shone on them, as if they were covered with three-color gauze.
On a quiet night, in a quiet corner, only the cat at the window saw this scene.
"Meow~"
It screamed dissatisfied, wanting Shade to go home quickly.
【Tsk tsk~】
She screamed in his ear, but Shade hugged Luvia and smelled the faint scent of perfume on Luvia, ignoring her.
[Outlander, when you really enter this world and create your own story, have you ever thought that you also entered other people's stories and broke into other people's epics? 】
Xia De still ignored her.
【So close, I felt a strange power from Luvia Anat. 】
Xia De still ignored her.
[Her other self is extraordinarily powerful, more powerful than any ring warlock you have ever encountered. 】
Xia De still ignored her.
[She also has the power of time. 】
Shad still didn't see him suddenly opening his eyes, and then saw Luvia's eyes were closed.
"The power of time?"
[Yes, the power of time. But unlike you who are blessed by time, she is rejected and cursed by time. She cannot use any power related to time. Any time she is injured by a force, the damage becomes more severe. 】
Smelling the scent of the purple-eyed girl and feeling her soft lips, Shade followed the prompts of the voice in his ears and used his own soul to feel her soul power.
"Oh!"
Luvia pushed him away violently, her face very red:
"It's actually so late. So goodbye, Shade, the test is over, and you are still affected. I am very happy tonight. Also, remember not to tell Iluna about tonight. If you are really late tonight You can find some books that Iluna said and read Good Night."
As he said that, he stood up on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face, then hurriedly left as if running away.
Xia De stood under the gas street lamp and looked at her back. Clouds drifted past the moon that blocked the sky, but the clouds quickly moved away, and the light and shadow alternated on Sha De's body standing there.
【Do you know what she thinks of you? 】
She was still whispering in her ear, Shade frowned and thought, but did not answer.
【So, do you feel it? 】
"Yes, being repelled by time is very clear."
[Outlander, maybe she has secrets that are useful to you. 】
"But I'm not in a hurry to know them. One day, Luvia will take the initiative to tell me. This is just like her not asking about my secrets. This is mutual respect and one more thing."
[What? 】
"Do you have to tell me something at that time?"
He asked with great dissatisfaction, touched his lips, waved to Luvia who boarded the carriage at the intersection, leaned out of the window, turned around and prepared to go home to rest. She would also buy and move furniture tomorrow. Go to the first floor.
【Must. 】
I thought she was just laughing and wouldn't answer, but I didn't expect to hear the answer.
Xia De stopped at the door, lowered his head and reached into his pocket to take out the key, and asked absently:
"Why?"
【Because, I am always with you. 】
Looking at the shadow on the ground, at a certain moment, Shade really felt that he saw a woman, hugging his neck, and whispering softly in his ear.
"You always do this, and I'd love for you to do this."
While complaining softly, Shade realized that he seemed to have forgotten to take the key, so he reached for the door lock and opened the door directly.
She is chuckling.
Before entering the door, he glanced at the golden door plate of "No. 6, Saint Teresa Square" on the door. He stretched out his hand to straighten it, then walked into the house and closed the door.
The strange moonlight slanted on the door and steps of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, just like every night.
Tonight, many people may not be able to sleep.
