The Whispering Verses Chapter 1390: Three entrances to Yongye City
Chapter 1390 Three Entries into Eternal Night City
This week, Mia was always taken outside by Shade. Now that it was the weekend, the cat had made up its mind and refused to go out again. Therefore, as soon as Shade opened the door after returning home, it got out of Shade's arms, and then rushed directly to the third floor. No matter how Shade yelled, it refused to leave Room 1 on the third floor, Luvia's expensive apartment. Get off the planetarium.
So, Shade had no choice but to go to Randall Valley by himself. When he came to the main hall of the Forgotten Church, he also took a look at the old photos of the Watson family placed next to the stone statue of Mr. Lacers, and thought about it before taking it away.
Borrowed a horse from the Wilde Opera Company, and then rode to Oxenfurt Manor outside the city. Due to the long distance, by the time Shade crossed the small bridge and saw the distant view of Oxenfurt Manor in the distance of the slightly gloomy forest, it was already half past two in the afternoon.
Stone Oxenfurt was still not at home this time. If he had not seen him and his wife together once before, Shade sometimes even wanted to doubt whether the two people were the same person at all.
In the deserted and slightly dilapidated manor, there are still only Mrs. Hai? Oxenfurt, the strange maid and the old housekeeper. Shade and Hayashi Oxenfurt also met in the familiar reception room. After the maid exited the room, Shade handed her the letters and photos he had retrieved from Captain Woody:
"Your husband entrusted me to deliver this to the manor."
Hay? Oxenfurt still wore a veil and a long black dress like a nun's uniform.
She took the things silently, then put them on her lap to watch.
"I met Captain Woody and heard him talk about the past things between you and your husband. My sister seems to be very affectionate."
The eyes under the veil looked at Shade:
"I still love him."
The voice seemed colder than the previous times.
"Well, I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my statement. Oh, and, six days ago, on Monday, I went to Watson Manor."
Shad said again, but Hai? Oxenfurt didn't react at all this time, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"That's where your relatives lived."
Xia De reminded.
"Yes, I know."
Hay? Oxenfurt said.
Xia De looked at her suspiciously:
"Maybe I'm nosy. I saw some ghosts in that house and listened to them talk about the past. Three years ago"
"You don't have anything else to do, right?"
The woman suddenly asked, and Xia De was stunned:
"Yes, it will be fine after delivering the things."
So Hai? Oxenfurt stood up and left from the door. The maid outside the door came in and motioned for Shade to follow her and leave, so Shade could only end the visit in a hurry:
"Did you see clearly just now?"
[Yes, even when I was driving you away, I still had an expressionless face. This is not a deliberately disguised indifference, there is no trace of surprise or sadness in the facial muscle texture and pupils. 】
Although Hai? Oxenfurt was wearing a veil, the veil was not very thick, so these details could be seen clearly.
"That's it, so a new possibility has emerged."
Because he didn’t actually stay at Oxenfurt Manor for too long, it was only around four o’clock when Shade returned to the city. He did not stay in the city for long, but went home to study the memoirs he found in the cave of the Black Night Temple.
When I opened the book in the study, it was still very bright outside, but when Mia jumped on the table to grab Shad's hand, even the gas lamps in Saint Teresa Square were already on:
"Time flies so fast."
Shad stretched out, closed the book, and recalled the story of Mr. Lyman's life that he had just read.
That gentleman did take three butterfly girls out of the Worm Cave. Probably for this reason, he still retained his memory after leaving there. After leaving the cave, he moved his family to the Randall Valley area in the fifth era. Later, with the help of Sister Perry who was stationed there, the family spread.
Schade did not finish reading the thick memoir, but only read a third of it until Mr. Lyman was thirty-two years old. It can be seen that his life is very happy, living in the fifth era, this is probably the best ending.
He planned to take time out in the evening to briefly read through the rest of the content. This may be helpful for visiting the Granger family's old cemetery tomorrow.
Today Dorothy went back to her parents' house for dinner, and Lesia didn't have time to see Shad. The home seemed a little deserted, so Shade first went to Old John's **** shop to get the paint that had been prepared for painting in the night, and then took Mia to Randall Valley to find Luvia.
When he walked into the lively and warm Fertile Land Hotel from the winter night, Shade was stopped by the hotel waiter again:
"Are you Mr. John Watson who lives in room 302 on the third floor?"
Shad rented another room next to Luvia because he needed a local contact address for people like Oxenfurt to send letters.
"Yes, I am John Watson, may I ask something?"
"Half an hour ago, someone sent you a package. Please follow me to the counter to pick it up."
The package was delivered by a boy selling newspapers on the street, and no name was left on the package. After Xia De opened the package, he saw a rather delicate brass-colored jewelry box. After opening it, the hexagonal white gem lay quietly inside:
"It was delivered directly."
Shad touched the gem and made sure it was what he was looking for, then walked up the stairs to find Luvia.
(Little Mia is running.)
On Monday morning, the sun passed through the stinking fog that shrouded the Randall River Valley, and shone through the window with the curtains drawn, into Room 301 at the end of the third floor of the Fertile Land Hotel.
Next to the simple dressing table next to the big bed in the bedroom, Luvia, who had changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs for dinner, was observing her face in the mirror. The retractable metal storage box for cosmetics that looks like an exhibition stand in her hand has been opened, but the purple-eyed girl has not decided which one to use.
Every time after spending a night with Shade, she found that she felt quite good as if her whole body's condition had been refreshed.
The sun shone on her body from the side, making her profile look extremely three-dimensional. Luvia admired herself in the mirror and felt that those witches were nothing special.
Shade had already put on his coat at this time, came back from the bathroom, turned Mia into a toy and put it in his pocket:
"Luvia, wait for me, we will go downstairs to have breakfast later."
He shook the time key in his hand, while Luvia still looked at herself in the mirror:
"Then go quickly."
She heard Shade whispering in Elvish language, "May the World Tree protect me in infinite time." She heard the lock making a "click~" sound that should have been silent.
Squeak~ The door was opened, and then the sound of Shade's footsteps disappeared.
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Autumn of 3028 in the Fifth Age, Northern Continent, Yongye City. 】
[Event: The Whispering of the Curtain of Eternal Night. 】
【Duration 40 minutes (3/4). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】
【The test given to you by the ancient **** of time will continue. 】
[Help mortals break through the maze of eternal night and explore the truth behind the curtain. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune-Dark Night. 】
Stepping out of the door into the white mist, and then stepping out of the white mist into the dark and cold rainy night.
The smell of damp earth hit his face, but Shade didn't hate it. The city sleeping in the night was still the same as before, and in front of Shade was the signboard of the [Midnight Art Museum] that was moistened by the rain.
The rain quickly wetted Shade's clothes, and the dots of firelight on both sides of the street quickly disappeared, allowing the night that seemed to make everything sleepy to gather towards Shade.
This time Shade did not flee indoors in panic, but watched the night getting closer and closer, feeling a power very similar to the "Dark Night Temple". When the night was about to reach him, he opened the door of the art gallery and walked in.
Although the light inside the art museum cannot be compared with the previous cafes and watch shops, at least after walking in from the rainy street, it still feels very bright here.
Shad looked at the corner of the wall, where glowing three-color thorn bushes clung to the simple fence, and in the center of the fence was a single-person tent. The big-tailed girl could be vaguely seen curled up in the tent, and Fiona was still sleeping.
If Shade's "Thorn of the Moon" is not actively canceled or destroyed by him, the casting effect will last until the next night. There is no day at all in Eternal Night City, and of course there is no next night either. Therefore, theoretically this thorn can even exist into the next era.
Bah!
After a quick snap of his fingers, the three-color thorn bush turned into light spots and disappeared. Then Shade restored Mia back and entered the fence. As for bringing this cat with them this time, it was because they still needed to move in the Evernight City, and they would have to rely on Mia's ability to shine to protect the safety of Shade and Fiona.
Of course, the most important thing now is to wake Fiona up first. However, when Shadra opened the tent and saw the girl curled up holding her big tail, the small flame on the tip of her tail was still burning, but she herself did not wake up immediately like last time. .
"Huh?"
Fiona's whole body was now covered with a layer of scarlet light. The nature of that light was very familiar to Shade. It was the moonlight that represented the red moon. At the same time, Shade noticed that the red dragon girl's back seemed to have a bulge. Under the clothes on his back, something was being restrained, and then he realized that it seemed to be a pair of small wings.
