The Whispering Verses Chapter 2052: Childhood wishes
Chapter 2052 Childhood Wishes
The flames danced in the five pairs of eyes. The most important guarantee for their survival here was the light in the brazier, but at this time everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"Of course I didn't light it."
Professor Evans shook his head hurriedly:
"I thought it was lit by the girls who arrived earlier."
Miss Malone is an ordinary person, so this naturally has nothing to do with her. Miss Teresa and Miss Maxim, who arrived first, also shook their heads:
"It wasn't us, we were also attracted by the light of the fire. If it weren't for the light here and the waves being so big, we wouldn't have noticed this floating board."
Although the purple-haired maid, Miss Maxim, has been shivering due to the cold, she still provided further information:
"When we first arrived, I tried to light more new flames before I passed out, but the flames and light were completely suppressed here."
As she spoke, she opened her palms that were almost bloodless:
"Fire~"
Not even a spark appeared. Miss Theresa and Professor Evans also tried it, and sure enough, nothing happened. They seemed to feel colder. Miss Theresa was almost completely pressed against Shade's body. Shade felt like he was leaning against a huge piece of ice.
Although Miss Malone is not a witch, she has a box of half-wet matches on her body. With the consent of the other four people, she threw the match directly into the brazier in front of her. Then everyone saw that neither the match nor the paper box had any intention of being lit.
Professor Evans hooked his finger, and the matchbox flew out again. The dried matchbox was intact.
"Silver Moon."
Xia De said softly, and the light like rice grains appeared again on his fingertips. Except for the flames from unknown sources in front of them, this is the only light that everyone can "ignite" at the moment. They all looked at the ray of light, and the cold breath they breathed made the already unusually moist air turn into hoarfrost.
"We still have to find our own way out of here."
Shade finally said to them, and the witches all agreed with Shade. Professor Evans still couldn't help but be curious, and tremblingly asked how Sha De came in, but Sha De casually prevaricated:
"I went through a strange door and fell into the sea."
This is not a lie.
Soaking in seawater will attract dangerous things, and seawater will absorb spiritual and physical strength. Flying into the sky will cause greater panic. The twelfth-level witch masters the way to open the portal, but just as Shade thought, this area of chaotic time and space does not support opening the portal:
"This place is very similar to Lost Lake."
Miss Teresa trembled and said in Shade's ear, her breath touched Shade's cheek, and Shade even felt that his skin was about to freeze. There was something wrong with their situation. Even though it was very cold here, they shouldn't act so exaggeratedly.
Xia De gently held her in his arms. The witch struggled symbolically for a moment, and then fell into the heart-warming warmth.
"Have Miss Violet ever told you what the Lost Lake is?"
The girl wearing glasses felt the warmth of her arms and shook her head gently:
"My aunt said that I didn't know it yet. She only said that there was a 'border'."
Professor Evans didn't know what he thought of, and his face became even more ugly.
"I don't understand."
Miss Malone raised her trembling hand and said, seeing everyone else looking at her, she timidly pointed to the floating board beneath her:
"Why can this board float here?"
Xia De also recalled:
"When I swam over just now, I definitely didn't see any other shipwrecks on the water, not even floating luggage or corpses."
Professor Evans also recalled:
"Just now, the four survivors of the shipwreck mentioned that when the shipwreck occurred, everything was sinking rapidly. This floating plate should not be the wreckage of the ship we thought."
"Speaking of which, where did the blanket you are wearing come from?"
Shade asked again, and then the ladies looked at the blankets wrapped tightly around them, and then remembered that this was what they found by the fire when they first came to the floating board.
There are four blankets in total, and it just happened to be the four of them who came here. It seemed like someone had prepared these specially for them.
The ladies were silent for a while, and Miss Teresa, who felt her soul warming up, remembered something again:
"When we climbed here, I seemed to have encountered some strange indentations on the edge of the floating board, like writing, probably on this side."
She pointed to the edge of the floating board. The surging seawater kept rushing towards the floating board, so that except for the current location where everyone was, all other areas were wet.
"You guys take a rest first, I'll go over there and have a look."
Shad said, he did not dare to get up and could only climb over. Miss Theresa grabbed the hem of his clothes and followed him:
"I'll go with you, I remember the location."
She just didn't want to be far away from that warm feeling.
The constant slapping of the sea water made it difficult for Shade to see clearly what was on the surface of the floating board. He could only rely on groping and the extremely weak light from his fingertips to identify the subtle changes in texture.
Miss Teresa was holding Shade's sleeve with one hand, and she and Shade were soaking in the water and groping with the other hand. They had to be extra careful, as the floating board was shaking quite badly at the edge, and no one wanted to fall into the water like this.
"My aunt and I have been trying to find you for the past few years."
In the wind and waves, the voice of the girl next to me was a little soft. Shade turned to look at her. Miss Theresa's face turned slightly red:
"My aunt is ready to be promoted to demigod. She sees her own path to demigod. She said that maybe becoming a demigod can sense the time and space you are in, and maybe there will be a record of you in the Witch Council. Once, is it still three stays? ”
"Yes, I will get you out safely before leaving."
The young girl nodded slightly:
"If possible, my aunt would also like to see you again."
Tying on Shade's sleeve, she pursed her lips and asked in a lower voice:
"Have you not forgotten us either?"
"Of course not."
The girl wearing glasses smiled and said in surprise:
"I found it! Here!"
As he said that, he took Shade's hand and pushed it under the water. Shade also touched those strange carvings.
He asked "her" to help me write down those lines with his fingers. After returning to the fire with Miss Teresa, he summoned the imaginary bookshelf, took out the books and let the symbols be imprinted on them. Similarly, the bookshelves and books that were supposed to be as bright as a sea of stars turned dim as if they were black.
Those symbols looked like shells. Shade’s language proficiency immediately came into play, and the erudite professor of Zarath Academy of Literature also recognized this strange writing:
"Mither language?"
"Do you know him?"
Shad asked in surprise, the past Miss "Adele Isabella" asked him to use this language to ask questions to the "Hope Diamond". But the problem is that his language proficiency means being able to recognize the meaning and know the pronunciation of the words when he sees them, rather than mastering knowledge by knowing the name of the language.
It is not that he has not sought help from Miss Danister, but even the librarian has only heard of this kind of writing but does not know how to do it.
"Yes, the Myth language is an ancient text from the Second Age. I have only mastered a few words. Give me some time and I will translate them."
The professor was about to take action, but was stopped by Sha De:
"I will interpret it for you. I happen to know the words here. However, can you teach me this language comprehensively, or at least help me translate a few sentences?"
Shad was a little suspicious. The tree father sent him specifically to learn the Mith language this time.
The writing of the late fifth era is a required course in St. Byrons, so there is no big obstacle for Shade to communicate with the four ladies. After the strange words were simply translated by Shade, the meaning was roughly:
【The lightless sea, the dreamless sea. Four childhood treasures call for the gift of dreams. 】
Miss Teresa, Miss Maxim and Miss Malone didn't understand very well. Only Professor Evans was thoughtful, and she asked Shade tremblingly:
"Isn't that what I'm talking about here?"
"It should be."
Under the firelight, a smile appeared on Shade's face. He was originally worried about how to complete the task:
"What is written here is the method of calling the gods."
"Which one?"
Miss Teresa asked in awe.
"The **** of wishes - the giver of dreams."
As Shade said the name of the old god, the flames in the brazier surged upward, allowing the firelight to illuminate a larger area. Light and shadow danced on everyone's faces. Except for Miss Theresa, who was held in Shade's arms, the eyebrows of the other three ladies had frosted at some point.
"So, what do we do?"
"Do you have any items related to your childhood wishes? Do you need four items to call that god? If I understand correctly, then this floating board and this brazier are both that **** It’s left to us. I think if we want to leave here, we probably need the help of that god.”
Xia De said and looked at them. Everyone's luggage was lost in the sea. They were lucky enough to survive the shipwreck.
But he believes that they must have items that meet the requirements, because foreigners do not have childhood in this world, and he cannot come up with "childhood wishes".
Sure enough, just as Shade thought, the four ladies nodded.
Miss Teresa huddled in Shade’s arms and took off her pair of round glasses:
"This is a birthday gift my aunt gave me when I was little. I was not a witch at that time, and my aunt was just visiting my house to choose a future apprentice, so she knew it was my birthday, so she gave it to me. From then on, I wanted to be a witch like my aunt."
Speaking of which, the last time I saw Miss Teresa at Lost Lake, she was wearing these glasses. It hasn't been replaced in three years, so that's why.
