The Whispering Verses Chapter 1918: Invitation from the Witch and the Nun
Then, even though Shade was sitting here, he couldn't hear who said:
"For Shad."
The depressing atmosphere was finally relieved by the laughter of the girls. Shade was very suspicious that this was what Grace or Helen said, especially Helen, who was her younger sister. But the Gemini girls were talking quietly to Sister Devlin and Dorothy respectively, and they didn't look like the ones who had just spoken.
The dinner lasted for an hour. It was not only a pre-war dinner, but more importantly, it was to boost morale. Therefore, not only Grandma Cassandra spoke, but all the great witches also spoke separately.
When it was Shade's turn, he solemnly promised again that he would bring Megan and Audrey back safely. Then the girls complained that he was the one who brought psychological pressure to the ladies at the table.
"Shad, you have to promise us that after the Battle of Green Lake, you will date us like before."
Miss Aurora suggested again, and Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanis, who understood what she was talking about, both smiled slightly with red faces. The red-haired duchess wanted to laugh at first, but then she felt that she had a better choice. Megan looked at them thoughtfully, but the other girls didn't quite understand what Miss Aurora said.
In short, by the time dinner was over, everyone's emotions had adjusted and they were ready to go all out to face the decisive battle tomorrow night.
Of course you don’t have to think about washing dishes when eating in a hotel. After Shade left the restaurant, he was originally thinking about whether to visit Lesia, who still hasn’t moved to the Green Lake Hotel and will come tomorrow evening. and Agelina. But Audrey stopped him on the stairs and called him to his room on the third floor to talk.
"What's wrong?"
After the door closed, Shade asked the brown-haired girl in front of him. Audrey pursed her lips and asked:
"Are you going home to rest tonight?"
"Stay here for the last night. I want to prevent other situations from happening. Sister Devlin should have the same consideration when staying here tonight."
A smile appeared on her face:
"Well, we agreed to spend the night here, and you can't lie. After ten o'clock tonight, I will come to your room to find you. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, since it is the last night , I have something to say to you."
She tried not to show her emotions at the moment:
"Don't tell other people that I'm coming to see you at night, otherwise, they will say that I have poor mental quality and cannot stay calm."
Xia De nodded slightly, knowing that she was still a little nervous and uneasy:
"I have always been here. Just like my original promise to you, I will accompany you to the island to meet your ancestors."
The great witch of knowledge and wisdom nodded slightly, then turned and left the room. Shade closed his eyes and decided to land on the island tomorrow with [Iken'ola - Arrow of the Chosen]. The arrow was not large and easy to carry. If Megan and Audrey were in danger in the end, and neither Shade nor Miss Danister could save them, he would use the alchemy bow he bought at a high price from Old John. , shoot that arrow, and make them the "chosen ones for wisdom and knowledge."
Of course, this is the worst outcome that Shade can imagine.
He did not leave the third floor immediately, but went to talk to Priest August and Dr. Schneider.
Doctors and priests don't feel bored staying here at all, and they have made all preparations. Especially the doctor, he has always been resentful about the fact that he arrived in the Randall Valley two months ago and ended up getting lost in the forest and did nothing except help Luvia in the end.
"I am with the priest this time, and I will definitely not get lost."
He said confidently, and then Shade noticed that the priest showed hesitation, and he obviously knew how bad the doctor's luck was.
"Priest, what does your look mean?"
The doctor asked hesitantly.
However, Shade did not involve priests and doctors directly in the battle to defend the hotel tomorrow night. On the one hand, the two of them were willing to help him, and he didn't want the secret they kept to be exposed so easily; on the other hand, because the final battle would definitely start on the island, he might be able to exert more energy after nightfall by saving some energy in the early stage. Good effect.
Shad had no plans for this night. Because he promised Audrey to spend the night in the hotel tonight, he went home early and put the things he would need tomorrow into categories in a hidden space so that he could easily get there from Green at any time. Lake Inn basement access.
Needless to say weapons, potions and relics, this is not the first time that Shade has prepared for a decisive battle. In addition to the commonly used [Night Watch], [Higgs Dragon Head Stone], [Key of Yggdrasil], three pieces of [Eternal Youth Leaves], [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], and [Perfume Vial of Desire] , he also took the [Master Key] seized from the labyrinth demon Yaru.
In addition to the coins, the demon only carried this relic, and Shade never understood its purpose. Fortunately, the [Master Key] is not large in size, so it is very convenient to carry it with you.
"[Spear of Kindness], poetry manuscript pages, keep these two at home. Demon Hunting Seal. Take it with you, maybe it will be useful. There is also [Profane Cross], use [Soul-sucking Devil's Blade] in Randall Valley 】Absorbed divinity, so this is still not used. But this time, it seems that I will not encounter the evil god. Safety comes first, so I will bring it with me this time. The [Source of Chaos] is with me. The labyrinth demon is dead, but since it involves space this time and I might get lost, I have to take it with me [God’s Gift Box]. For safety reasons, I’ll take it with me to the Green Lake Hotel. It might be useful. time."
Then he looked at the "Six Rings of Mia" placed in six ring boxes of the same style, which are the [Metamorphosis Ring], [Fish Training Ring], [Vampire Ring], [Epidemic Ring] Medicine Ring], [Magic Ring of Immortality] and [Ring of Mood].
The cat brought by Shade also saw these rings, wagging its tail eagerly, watching Shade pick them up one by one. But in the end, Shade kept the [Vampire Ring] and the [Ring of Mood], and took the other four.
"This is for you."
Shade put the [Fish Training Ring] on the cat's tail to encourage the cat to learn to speak quickly.
After that, I sorted out other alchemy items to bring, and finally pulled out two disaster cards [Twin Lovers] and [Shadow of the Deep Sea] from "Feliana's Notes".
Even though he knew that using the power would lead to disaster early, Shade still put them in his pocket decisively. Power is only valuable if it is used, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to bring them from the past life to the present time and space.
After cleaning up, I returned to the Green Lake Hotel. I thought there would be nothing else going on tonight. I just had to wait until Megan and Audrey came over at ten o'clock to talk about things.
But as soon as he appeared in the hotel basement, the girls who guarded and maintained the core of the basement ceremony told him that Sister Devlin had something to ask him.
The nun did not want to discuss the flames on the island with Shad, but handed Shad an umbrella:
"Go out with me."
"No problem, let's go to the lake to see what's going on on the island? Or is there another strange space anomaly in the city?"
The nun wearing a silver eyepatch did not answer, but just slipped a roll of parchment from her sleeve. Shade knew this, this was the witches' to-do list.
It is now the eve of the decisive battle at Green Lake. Most of the tasks on the very long list that Shade had seen for the first time have been solved by the great witches and their girls. Among them are tasks such as harvesting "colorful mushrooms", which are items that are useful for exploration at a glance, and tasks that have nothing to do with the Edwards.
But since the Thirteenth Ring Time Witch thinks these tasks are useful, others will certainly not doubt it. Shade also solved some things while running around Green Lake. The long golden hair of the Time Witch was still in his basement as a reward.
Sister Devlin invited Shade to go out on this rainy night for a task on the to-do list. But before the two of them went out holding umbrellas, the nun asked Shade to take the old lantern that he harvested at the [Sin Mansion] and could hold most of the fire.
After going out, there was no carriage waiting for them outside. The nun silently led the way, crossed two streets south, and stopped in front of an apartment building with no lights on.
This is a very ordinary three-story apartment with a loft in Green Lake City. The overall area is not large, and it is squeezed between a flower shop and a second-hand bookstore. The nun turned to look at Shade. Under the dim light of the gas lamp on the right side of the silver eyepatch with dense patterns, only the right corner reflected strange traces of light.
Although she didn't say anything, Shade understood what she meant. Walking up the front steps, I closed my eyes and listened to the sound. I could hardly distinguish the absence of any heartbeat amidst the pounding of raindrops, then I knocked on the door lock and entered the foyer directly.
The umbrella was put away, and the flames flowing from Sister Devlin's hands evaporated the water stains on the ground and floor mats. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the neighbors, Shade did not turn on the light in the foyer, and the nun who followed him in did not turn on the light either. After all, she did not need eyes to see.
Then the nun pointed upstairs. Shade nodded. In order to maintain his image, he did not take out his shoe covers, hat and gloves, but quietly walked up the stairs. But after walking up three steps, I discovered that Sister Devlin had not followed.
I turned around and noticed the abnormal light from the fire, and then saw the nun kneeling on the wooden floor of the foyer at some point, touching the slender flame in her hand to the floor.
After a silent moment, a burning bonfire formed directly in the foyer. The fire was not bright and could only illuminate a corner of the foyer, but in the dark environment and the sound of the rainstorm outside, it was particularly reassuring.
