Chapter 2567 The Mysterious Old God
[Outlander, you have returned to the present time. 】
"Mia~"
After stumbling out of the study, Shade immediately bent down and picked up the cat, which was still waiting for him. Before the cat could react, Shade pressed his face against the cat's back and rubbed it.
"Meow~"
The frightened little Mia escaped from Shade's hands, and Shade, who felt that he had regained happiness and hope from little Mia, finally recovered:
"As expected, it's better to be at home. That black beach is really Mia. Aren't you angry with me?"
Of course the cat did not reject Shade's approach, but was frightened by his actions just now. Fortunately, it quickly wandered to Shade's feet and did not struggle again after being picked up by Shade.
This is the end of the first expedition of the fifth era time key in 2025. Shade has almost figured out the rules there, and the ship that can go to any time and place as long as you pay the ticket has also given captured his endless reverie.
Of course, before using that ship to achieve your own goals, it is more important to complete the past mission first.
There is no rush to just go to Sister Devlin to borrow an "eye mask". Next Sunday is still far away. Shade plans to take time next week to talk to Sister Devlin, and then directly go to the hospital next Sunday morning. The mountaintop sacrificial site opens the door.
As for going to the doctor to ask about his sin, he was not in a hurry to leave immediately, but planned to go to the doctor at night to seek help.
Of course, there is actually another question in this time key adventure, that is, who is the "God of Ferryman". However, Shade did not need to write a special letter to ask the "wisdom" witches Megan and Audrey, because there were people in Vista City who were willing to help him answer his questions.
Wearing a garland and walking through the woodland, the carriage took Shade to the "Accordion Inn" at nine o'clock in the morning. Compared with Friday, the downtown of Vista City on Sunday was more lively. The Moon Dance Festival concert was about to open. Margaret even asked Miss Sylvia to ask Carina to help deliver a letter to Xia through the parliament. De said that she actually wanted to come here to participate in the Moon Dance Festival.
Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess does not have such free time.
When she knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room, she was sitting on the sofa and looking through the books in her hands. The coffee table in front of her was filled with various letters and books. This scene was similar to her in the library. The office is very similar.
She was wearing the clothes that Shade brought yesterday, which made her look even younger than yesterday.
The chubby round-faced owl was also here at this time, but instead of standing on the birdstand, he stood on the small sofa and used his wings to flip through the book floating in front of him.
Seeing Shade coming, the red-haired girl put down the book in her hand, and the chubby owl transformed back into the young witch with gray-black hair in the gray-white fog.
Flora Winslet stroked the hair on the back of her head with her hand, looking very lazy:
"Don't ask me why I don't stay in human form all the time. That would be very tiring."
Shad imagined Miss Daniste spending the whole day with an owl reading a book, and tried his best not to laugh.
A small number of the books on the table are books about the history and folk customs of Ximu Town borrowed from the local library, while the others are books sent from the college library that may be related to the "time curse" .
Miss Danister’s contact with the [Forest Hermits] was not going smoothly, and the eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress was still waiting for news. The fat owl, Miss Winslet's followers, will not come here until tomorrow.
When Shade sat down, she took out her pair of plain gold glasses from her pocket. These glasses are a relic. The patterns on her round face when she transformed into an owl are probably these glasses.
"The texture on the glasses in the owl state is just texture, not the glasses."
The witch seemed to know what Shade was thinking, and asked Miss Danister with a smile:
"Didn't you teach him the basics of transfiguration?"
The eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress shook her head while holding a teacup:
"I am only responsible for teaching about the moon, and I am not the only teacher of Shade."
"Well, one of the common sense of transfiguration is that certain relics that need to be 'worn' to be effective are not limited to rings, glasses, etc. After transformation, they need to be re-worn in the transformed posture to be effective, not relics Integrate itself into the transformation."
She raised both hands, grabbed the temples of the glasses she had put on and shook them towards Shade:
"I saw that your transformation technique - the cat is so skilled and the transformation state is very good, I thought you knew this."
"I did not learn the art of transformation."
Xia De explained, then asked the two ladies if their current condition and curse had worsened, and then asked:
"I will set off to officially start the investigation in a moment. However, I have also encountered some troubles myself. Can I ask you some questions?"
"Of course."
Miss Daniste put down her tea cup and stared at him with her rose-red eyes, while the witch made a joke:
"If you didn't say you needed help, I probably would have really thought Denise was your student."
Apparently she's happy to help, too.
"That's it. Do you know the old **** [God of Ferryman]? That **** is also called [The Ferryman of the narrow room]."
Miss Danister immediately frowned:
"Where did you hear about this god? This old **** left in the middle of the Fifth Era and is the **** with the least information so far.
If you know a god, you will be affected by the power of the god. This is most obvious in this god.
Only those who are most disappointed with life and life, and those who most want to leave this world, will know this great man. And those mortals who spontaneously know about this **** mostly end up either committing suicide or suddenly disappearing one day. ”
In other words, the "Black Sand Pier" is just one of the places where the **** appears. Normally, the "ferry" does not need to go through there.
The witch added:
"Because knowledge of its existence may be dangerous, this **** is also one of the few gods without a religious order and large-scale believers. Probably only a few ring magicians with special powers believe in it?. Hamilton, among all the old gods, , this one not only has the least information, but can also be regarded as the most mysterious one.
We [Witch Council] have an ancient heritage. According to the information I have read in the council, this **** has been regarded as a terrible rumor in the earliest era. People at that time believed that excessive sadness would lead to darkness, and the gods in the darkness would take away their souls.
The **** did not explain his existence. Ancient documents indicate that it was not until at least the middle of the Second Age that mortals knew what kind of power this **** had. ”
Miss Winslet asked Xiang Shade very worriedly:
"Didn't you hear the voice inviting you to board the ship for a long journey?"
"Of course not, my life is very happy."
Xia De shook his head hurriedly:
"And didn't that **** leave in the fifth era? I just want to ask: In addition to the more superficial ones, taking away those who are tired of life and tired of the world, this [God of Ferryman] What kind of power is there?”
"Bless the ferryman. Note, not a sailor or a fisherman, but the kind of boatman who holds up a small boat and carries people for a fee."
Miss Daniste didn’t know much about this. It was Miss Winslet who answered Shade:
"And it is said that this mysterious **** has the power to penetrate time and space. Taking away people who want to leave the world completely is just a way of showing power. You asked us to inquire about this great man, is it because he wants to use it? Can the power of the old gods solve the time curse?"
Xia De has never thought of this idea, but it seems feasible:
"Through that cabinet, you will be returned to 1763, the year when the tree father thinks you should exist, and then through the ferryman, you will be taken back to the current year of 1854. Yes, it sounds good, but I feel that this is better than directly Solving the curse is even more difficult."
Both ladies laughed, but no matter what, Shade even thought of such a mysterious **** in order to help them, they were still a little touched in their hearts.
After confirming the general conditions of the old gods he encountered in the past, Shade was ready to set off to start his investigation in Vista City.
But Miss Danister stopped him:
"We discussed it yesterday. Based on our experience, it is very easy for a person to fall into a dangerous situation and not even be able to pass on information, so I do not recommend that you act alone in the Vista Woodland area. ."
"Do you want to go investigate with me?"
Shad asked in surprise, but Miss Daniste motioned to Shad to look at the witch aside:
"I only have seven rings now, so I can't help you by following you. Flora said that her followers haven't arrived yet, so she is willing to help.
You will go out together in a while. She can be considered a high-level ringer in her owl state. No matter what you encounter, I think at least the news can be spread. ”
Shad looked at the witch suspiciously. He didn't believe that she really just wanted to help. At the same time, he was more curious about how the witch persuaded Miss Danister.
But this arrangement does sound reasonable. If you have such helpers around you, the investigation will obviously be more convenient:
"Miss Winslet, are you following me in owl form, or are you acting with me in human form?"
The gray-black haired witch stood up:
"Definitely not an owl. Carrying an owl around the city will make you the center of attention wherever you go. I would have liked to use a human form, but my beauty is too impressive, and it is too consuming. It's too big.
So I will turn into a small animal and follow you. Considering the urban environment, you shouldn't mind if I turn into a cat and follow you, right? ”
