The Whispering Verses Chapter 1342: Little Mia’s abilities
Chapter 1342 Xiao Mia’s Ability
"I don't know what happened specifically. It wanted to find you, so it jumped into the night and then glowed."
Fiona said again, while Shade looked at his cat with suspicious eyes. However, before he had other ideas, Fiona explained:
"Since you said it has bloodline other than ordinary cats, I think it should be that when it faced a life crisis, it took the initiative to activate the power of its ancient ancestor's bloodline. This kind of thing is not uncommon, no matter how thin the bloodline is, It’s still an inheritance of ancestral power. In addition, when its tail touched my tail, I seemed to have some special feelings, which should explain what happened just now.”
Fiona herself is a hybrid of human, elf and dragon, so her statement is very credible.
Time is running out at this time. Even if you want to explore the truth behind Mia's sudden glow, it is not now.
"Maybe so, let's see what's going on here first. Oh, Fiona, what we're looking for this time is..."
"A golden needle."
The front hall of the art museum is large, but only the entrance and the top of the reception counter have lights. This results in a large area of the entire interior where light and dark interweave, without the warmth and comfort of the first two stores.
There is no one at the reception desk. A large portrait of a man with a black background hangs on the wall behind the counter. The eyes of the man with a hooked nose seem to be looking at someone outside the painting no matter which direction he looks from.
There is an art book with a hard cover on the counter, which looks quite formal. The name "Midnight Art Museum" is written in white letters on the cover, while the rest of the cover is all black.
Opening the manual, the first page is not an introduction to the collection of artworks, but a warning written in black letters on white paper:
【Don't make loud noises in the museum! 】
【Don't damage the collections in the museum! 】
【Don’t look into the eyes of any collection in the museum for more than ten seconds! 】
"It seems that this place is more dangerous than the first two places."
Shad said to Fiona. The red dragon girl nodded and watched Shad quickly flip through the collection manual.
Although this collection manual has more pages than the watch store’s catalog, Shade was lucky enough to see the last key item to piece together the compass in Fiona’s hand on page 103:
[The golden needle of the God of the Labyrinth - "The Lost Goddess", a magical item, the sunlight or moonlight shines on the upright golden needle, and the shadow will guide you. 】
The collection brochure of the art museum is a full-color picture, and the picture on the left is the golden needle. But it wasn't a sewing needle, because Shade didn't see the hole.
[The "Lost Goddess" is keen on building mazes, and it is rumored that the architecture of Eternal Night City is also related to her. 】
【Purchase requires payment, paint that can be used to paint on the night. 】
The words here are all from the current era of the Fifth Era, and judging from the grammar, the "paint" that needs to be paid can be painted directly on the "night" itself, that is, using the empty night as the canvas.
"What kind of strange request is this?"
Xia De muttered, but he was not too embarrassed:
"Fiona, do you have similar items on you now?"
The red dragon girl reached behind her and took out the small package she had brought from the cafe. After a little rummaging:
"Maybe there was once, but not anymore."
"Okay, I'll look for it."
"So, you're leaving again?"
She asked rather pitifully. It was indeed cruel to leave her here alone, but Shade couldn't decide whether to stay or go:
"Continue to wait for me in dreams, and may the moon bless you, Miss Fiona Drago."
Shad said seriously, then found a wall without paintings, and together with Fiona set up a tent-centered camp again.
This time he brought more mattresses and quilts, making the tent very soft. Afterwards, Shade surrounded the tent with short stone pillars, and then tied each stone pillar in turn with thick hemp ropes. Shade stood outside the tent and inside the stone pillar fence, releasing his new thaumaturgy:
"Thorns of the Moon!"
After casting the spell three times in a row, the holy silver, orange and **** red thorn bushes clung to the stone pillars and hemp ropes.
Fiona held Shade's coat and sat in the tent watching Shade cast spells. After he bent down and sat on the ground to be at eye level with her, she said in a low voice:
"You must come back as soon as possible. In my dream, I will try my best to recall the forgotten things. You must come back."
"As promised, I will accompany you to the end of this city and then send you out safely."
Xia De repeated what he had said. It was almost time and white mist had already surged around him. Little Mia squatted on her shoulder, curiously stretching out her claws to grab the white mist. Shade quickly turned it into a toy and put it in his pocket:
"Huh? Little Mia can also see this fog, it doesn't belong to this time either."
Thinking in my heart, I said softly:
"Then, it's time for me to go."
The red dragon girl nodded slightly, then asked with a slightly red face:
"Can you kiss me? Just a gentle kiss."
Looking at Shade with vertical eyes, Shade hesitated for a moment, then moved his face closer, and while Fiona was kneeling in the tent and closing her eyes, he tapped her red lips. Although we had kissed in the clock shop and also in the Cadiz Library a long time ago, the soft feeling was still surprising:
"Good night, Fiona."
He said softly.
"Good night, Shade."
The red-haired girl responded, and when she opened her eyes to look again, Shade was no longer in front of her eyes.
(Little Mia is running.)
[Outlander, you have returned to the present time. 】
Staggering out of the door where he was lying on his side, Shade touched his lips. The melancholy feeling made him sigh unconsciously:
"Now is not the time to feel melancholy. Mia~"
He took out the cat from his pocket, restored it and held it in his hand. He looked into the cat's big eyes. Shade also stared at it with wide eyes:
"Mia, when did you learn to shine?"
"Meow~"
The cat meowed softly.
"You mean, you felt the power when you came into close contact with the flame on the tip of Fiona's tail in the clock shop? When did I learn cat language?"
"She" chuckled and said:
[It just meowed~, the meaning is up to you to guess. 】
"Okay, can you say the onomatopoeia "meow~" again?"
Xia De asked, and of course "she" ignored Sha De's request.
"So Mia, can you still shine?"
Xia De asked expectantly. The silly cat looked at him without any reaction.
"So, what other skills do you have? Don't tell me, you still don't know anything."
Xia De said again, putting little Mia on the dining table. The squatting cat then stood up, and then tensed up all the muscles in its body - if it really had any, the hair on its back would stand up, as if it was exerting great effort.
After a moment, an extremely weak, almost invisible light appeared on the cat's tail. Shade's eyes widened:
"This is it!"
"Meow!"
The light gradually became stronger. Of course, it was only relative to that just now.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
"Meow!"
The light converged on little Mia's tail.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Meow!"
In Shade’s expectant eyes——
Poof!
A small cluster of dazzling golden flames appeared at the tip of the cat's tail, but disappeared after shaking for a while. If Shade had blinked just now, he might not even have been able to see the flames.
"Can you really make flames?!"
Looking at little Mia again, the cat was running around in circles chasing her tail excitedly, and seemed very satisfied with her "power".
"However, although it is considered a supernatural power, what is it? A small charged flame?"
So Shade picked up the cat with his left hand and held its tail with his right hand, and came to the stove amidst Mia's fierce struggle. After turning on the gas stove, he ordered little Mia to show off her skills.
It took a lot of effort to let the silly cat know what he wanted to do. After Mia "charged up" again, the small flame that appeared for the second time in the cat's tail held by Shade was successfully ignited. Gas stove in front of you.
"Well, from now on I can cook at home and save money on matches. I can also summon flames myself. This is a basic spell"
He didn't know how to describe this cat's ability. If we didn't count the transformation from a toy into a cat, this was the first extraordinary ability that this cat had shown, and it was also something that Shade had always wanted to prove. But when this thing really happened, Shade felt that it was nothing at all and completely inconsistent with his psychological expectations. The particularity of this ability could not even be compared with Mia's own super intelligence.
[What did you expect to see? 】
"How about little Mia turning into the sun and dispelling the darkness of Evernight City?"
"She" had no intention of taking this sentence at all.
Although Shade has done a lot of things this morning, it is only just before eight o'clock.
Seeing that it was still early, Xia De packed up and was ready to go out. Winter has come to an end, and the weather in Tobesk has been really good the past few days. But today the heavy fog familiar to citizens has enveloped the city again. Although the sun has risen, the city still looks gloomy.
The sound of carriages passing by and newsboys shouting news loudly could be heard outside the window. At this time, the doorbell rang downstairs. Shade curiously went to open the door, only to find that it was Iluna who had come to visit so early:
"New news!"
The seventeen-year-old girl said excitedly as soon as she entered the door. Shade invited her to go upstairs to talk, but Iluna had other things to do and was about to leave:
"Last Thursday morning, after you told me about the [Feast of the Earth Mother] at the Three Cats Inn, I told it to the church, and the church actually started arranging for me to go on a business trip to the Randall Valley. But the specific time is not sure. In addition, I saw more poems about the chosen ones of the earth!"
